SEGMENT ONE: LA County Assistant Sheriff Bob Denham, Anaheim Deputy Chief Julian Harvey, Neighborhood Council President Corrine Ho and Fern Peskin-White with West Hills Crime Busters join Hal Eisner to talk about Tuesday's National Night Out and how over the 34 years of NNO cops and community have worked together this one day each year.
SEGMENT TWO: In this segment, we begin our conversation on books, bookstores and reading in a digital world. We take viewers to an eye-opener of an independent bookstore in Downtown LA.
