    Chicago and Honolulu are in the running for the Obama Presidential Library. Closer to home, a new director's been chosen for Orange County's Richard Nixon Presidential Library. As befitting a controversial and divisive figure, there's question as to whether Michael Ellzeyis the right man for the job. KCRW's Saul Gonzalez talked to him in Yorba Linda. He also spoke with historian Anthony Clark, the author of The Last Campaign, a forthcoming book about the presidential library system.

    You can see more images of the Nixon Library and Museum on our WWLA blog.
