Connections help

Rikki Klieman, the Court TV legal analyst and wife of LAPD chief William Bratton, is guest hosting for the vacationing Bill Handel on KFI this week. Her marquee guest on Wednesday morning from 8 to 8:30 will be Mayor Villaraigosa. Incidentally, the mayor's press office shouldn't feel too bad about misspelling her last name in the press release—Klieman's own website has at least one goof itself, as do Variety, Slate, Fox News and the New York Daily News. (I point them out hoping this will help me remember to get her name right; so far I've gotten lucky.)

Also on the mayor's schedule: An evening reception hosted by the Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles and an appearance at the Chivas Guadalajara vs. Club America soccer match at the Coliseum.

Also on Wednesday radio: Longtime journalist Karl Fleming recalls his experiences during the Watts riot on Talk of the City with Kitty Felde, 2 p.m. on KPCC. Fleming was beaten and bloodied covering the 1965 riots. And: The LAT's Martin Miller has a piece on Billy Burke, who hosts "The Family Friendly Morning Show" mornings on Christian-themed KFSH (FM 95.9)—sort of the anti-Howard Stern.
