I was one if you could give us a thumbnail sketch of the new one. Sure. Obviously, the first one who we talk about as adequate as chief Justice Roberts, who was appointed by president george w. Bush. He was initially nominated to replace sandra day oconnor. While that nomination was pending the chief justice passed away and roberts was renominated for the rehnquist position.

Unit the Harvard University lecturer exposed the bitterness with which many different groups stake claim to realestate considered sacred by so many. This program is about an hour. I am ken feinberg and i have the distinct pleasure of chatting for a few minutes with Elizabeth Greenspan, anthropologist, lecturer at Harvard University and the author of a very important new book, battle for ground 0 inside the poitical struggle to rebuild the World Trade Center. This battle is not about al qaeda and not about the 9 11 terrorist attacks, at least not directly.

Im the director of Government Affairs for the Cato Institute commented it will be talking about the new book by radley balko, rise of the warrior cop the militarization of Americas Police forces. In the book, it goes through the current state of where Police Forces are, which is a little bit different than i think they used to be and what a lot of people realize they are.
