Two of USC's 2500 students from China were murdered yesterday morning a mile from the campus. Is violent crime on the rise again in West Adams? Why have Chinese social media sensationalized the incident with reports of "rich kids" in a BMW. Also, "So nice you'll see it twice." That's one headline about this year's Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, which will be held on two 3-day weekends instead of just one. After all, it only holds 75,000 people. But can all those rock, hip-hop and electronica artists deliver a second command performance? On our rebroadcast of To the Point, Iran comes back to the bargaining table.
