Talking Nukes with Robert McNamara
In October of 2006, host Margot Adler spoke with Robert
McNamara, secretary of defense during the Kennedy and
Johnson administrations. For many, McNamara had been the
embodiment of the Cold War. We were surprised to hear
him taking an unexpected position on nuclear
armaments.

Race and the Roberts Court

Bong Hits 4 Student Speech
Morse v. Frederick, otherwise known as "Bong Hits
for Jesus," addressed the free speech rights of students
outside of the classroom setting. On our April 30, 2007
program, we were joined by Pepperdine University School of
Law dean and former special prosecutor Kenneth Starr and
constitutional lawyer Jay Sekulow, chief counsel for the
American Center for Law and Justice, each of whom had some
surprising positions on the case.

Lilly Ledbetter v. the Supreme Court
In October of 2007, Justice Talking examined the recent
Supreme Court ruling in Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire and
Rubber Company. In this gender-based wage
discrimination case, the Court ruled that the petitioner,
Lilly Ledbetter, had waited too long to file her objection
and, thus, lost the opportunity. Host Margot Adler spoke with
Ms. Ledbetter for her reaction to the Court's decision.
