A New Name for a Second Chance.

Sociologist Marcia Millman. Her latest book, "Warm Hearts & Cold Cash: The Intimate Dynamics of Families and Money," (The Free Press) is about how people use money as a tool of power and a symbol for certain emotions in family relationships. Millman is professor and chair of sociology at the University of California at Santa Cruz. She also wrote "Such a Pretty Face: Being Fat in America." (Rebroadcast. Original date 5/30/91).

Writer David Rieff (pronounced "reef"). his new book, "Los Angeles: Capital of the Third World," looks at how the millions of poor immigrants that have come to the Los Angeles area in the past two decades have changed the shape of that city...changing it from the "City of Dreams" that's long been L.A.'s popular image, to a much poorer, problem-ridden,and diverse, place. Rieff says something similar is in store for many other American cities. (The book's published by Simon and Schuster).
