    Which Way, L.A.?

    The State of the State and the Workings of Congress

    What does Governor Schwarzenegger really want? We talk with his Chief of Staff. Also, a conversation with a veteran of 35 years in Congress and the Democrats' point man on climate change. On our rebroadcast of today's To the Point, at L'Aquila in Italy, President Obama's being looked to for leadership on world finance and global warming. Is progress likely or is the G8 an anachronistic waste of time?

On our rebroadcast of today's To the Point, at L'Aquila in Italy, President Obama's being looked to for leadership on world finance and global warming. Is progress likely or is the G8 an anachronistic waste of time?
