EDITOR’S NOTE:
After we recorded this interview, Israel presented evidence that the center of the explosion in the hospital compound in Gaza City did not have a bomb crater, which Israel says demonstrates that the explosion was caused by an errant rocket fired by Palestinian Islamic Jihad rather by than an Israeli airstrike. The US has backed Israel's position, but independent investigations are ongoing.

On this episode of Start Making Sense, John Nichols analyzes this week’s primary results in California and elsewhere, and, from the archives, Elmore Leonard talks about where his characters and plots came from.
California’s jungle primary on Tuesday set the stage for the next Democratic governor of the state, and primaries in Iowa, New Jersey and elsewhere tested the strength of progressives in the party. John Nichols has our analysis.
Also: from the archives: Elmore Leonard, who died in 2013 at age 87, was unpretentious about his massive accomplishments: 45 novels, more than a dozen turned into movies, and a reputation as one of the great writers of dialogue. When we spoke in 2000, he had just published Pagan Babies, and his movies Get Shorty, Jackie Brown, and Out of Sight had been hits.
