    Is it visual blight distracting to drivers on nearby freeways or is it art? That's just one question raised by the LA City Council's decision today to light up parts of downtown just like Tokyo. We hear what's planned for two new skyscrapers that will be impossible to ignore. Also, California's three-year drought emergency may be over, but water conservation is as important as ever. We talk with the guy who measures the Sierra-Nevada snowpack. On our rebroadcast of today's To the Point, Obama, Libya's Gadhafi and America's use of force.
