Hi, this is Warren Alney. Thanks so much for listening to this podcast of To the Point,

and I want to tell you about another podcast that's available here at KCRW,

and that's the program, DNA, hosted by Francis Anderton.

Francis is well connected in the industry of design and architecture and art.

She used to be editor of an architecture magazine.

She knows the trends before they happen. She'll be able to fill you in on them. You can find DNA on KCRW's

To the Point. Is Ferguson a microcosm of the USA?

Hello again, I'm Aronaldi, and this is To the Point from Public Radio International. A daily look at the issues Americans care about most.

Ferguson, Missouri erupted last night after a grand jury held that white officer Darren Wilson's

killing of black teenager Michael Brown was not a crime. Here's the attorney for Brown's family today.

This process is broken. The process should be indicted. After months of media coverage, the nation was

ready for the decision,

violence in Ferguson, and protests in other cities. We'll look at the process, the mountain of

evidence, and what the incident could mean for the country. Today's talking point is Chuck

Hagel the fall guy for White House dysfunction on defense and foreign policy. First,

here's the news.
