Anger therapy booming in City of Angels

Bernard Minor spent 26 years behind bars for murdering a drug dealer who owed him $400. Now, the ex-con spends his days teaching others to keep their rage in check, one of the swelling ranks of America's anger therapists.
"I was a very angry person," the 58-year-old says. "I'd been living a violent life. Living in the streets since I was 11. Now I want to help people."
Minor specializes in tackling domestic abuse - working with "batterers", in his own words - in Los Angeles, a city seen by many as a hotbed of short-fused behavior and where the rage-management industry is booming.
