initially, this was based on the lizzie borden story. the names were changed, they did give them character names, not just family title names. ofy set it as a kind whodunit kind of set. it reminds me of agatha christie plays in a way. it was not that well received. but i do have these photos from a federal theater project, a collection at the library of congress, that kind of shows this wonderfully overbuilt set. and there's the lizzie character, on the left there, coming down the stairs. and you can't really see it. but it's a publicity photo that has her sort of hiding the weapon of choice under her arm. in this case, they did another dramatic change to the story as we know it. there's no ax in this play. and instead, she bludgeoned her mother with an iron. so that's what she has tucked under her arm. if you think about the old-fashioned irons, they're incredibly heavy. we don't iron anything anymore, do we? you probably don't even have one. but, yes, it could have done some pretty serious damage. but kind of an interesting change towa

you had all heard of lizzie borden, right? i want to talk about why some cases remain more famous than others. especially because everybody talks about cases as if they are this case of the century, the trial of the century. will begin with opening -- we will begin with opening statements. most of america really got to know our alleged perpetrator and our victim in the opening statements. nicholas will be presenting. representing the prosecution, he will go first. our second guest will go next. come on up. i will step away. >> i would like to begin just by thinking my colleague for defending misting harris. ms. jean harris. people of the state of new york -- it is not to paint a false picture. my duty to the people of the state of new york uphold the foundation of our society. justice. i must do this in a fair and equitable way. i must provide evidence, expert witness, and the testimony of dear friends and family. i must make known the truth of what happened on the night of march 10, 1980. this is an undertaking. -- a solemn u

do you feel that if it's going well to vice chair borden's points, do you have the authority, the leeway, the confidence that you could increase those numbers sooner than we're talking about now and the second part of that question question, have any of the questions had the number of scooters out on the street that they actually are permitted for? because i feel like although companies are currently permitted under the pilot -- you don't feel like i saw that many scooters out there. >> so in terms of specifically whether we have the authority, i may defer that to the city attorney's office but in terms of feeling confident in the roll-out schedule we have, we do, and we feel it's an appropriate roll-out. given the number of scooters we have now, how much time it has taken us not only for the scooter pilot but also the jump pilot before. we know that it takes several months to work out operational kinks. i feel 500 scooters is what we feel is a viable system to start with and gave a good base for expansion to expand as feasible and that's the schedule we've laid out. do you want to say s

benefits for women, poses a substantial option for women seeking abortions, and constitutes an undue borden on the cost -- undue burden on their constitutional right to do so. hospitalization is rare after an abortion and the lack of admitting privileges by the doctor performed the procedure is not a bar to the woman getting medical care if she needs it. last fall, a panel of the u.s. court of appeals for the fifth circuit revisited the louisiana law and found there were factual distinctions between how the restriction played up in texas -- played out in texas and louisiana. judge jerry smith said unlike in texas, the louisiana law does not impose a substantial burden on a large fraction of women. that the courtly would issue a stay on a law and not accept the case. they considered it yesterday at their private conference. we will likely hear something soon. it raises the question about whether the court is ready to revisit a fairly new precedent like the one in whole women's help or whether they will this tingle should in a way where there is one restriction not allowed in one state is acc
