Henry interviews San Francisco Chronicle journalist Mike Weiss about his book "Double Play," which covers the 1978 assassinations of Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk by Dan White, and the subsequent trial that led to the White Night riots. Henry's framing is dramatic and precise: "He was one of the most liberal mayors in America, George Moscone, and he was one of the first openly gay legislators in America... They were both assassinated by Supervisor Dan White on November 27, 1978, in what is truly Shakespearean tragedy in many ways."
