i didn't want to get fired he wasn't working or harlan told long but then hundred couldn't take it anymore she wanted to leave her husband there is video footage of what happened next one day he approached her with a gun and shot her. to deny thought this is it i'm going to die. i was on the ground injured he put the gun in my mouth and pulled the trigger but he had run out of bullets that was my second chance thank god. for two and a half years i have been reliving that moment over and over again i try not to let anyone notice neither my children nor the people around me but over and over in my dreams i see this man trying to kill me since then has been paralyzed from the waist down her husband is in detention on paper they're still married his trial for attempted murder has been dragging on for over two years. today there is another hearing her brother said out to companies on down to court she's actually entitled to a driver paid by the municipality. but that often doesn't work out. instead she takes a taxi. cab. and then hates these court dates the prospect of having to see her husband

. >> [laughter] ken: as harlan howard said, three quarters of the truth. when you strip away the next couple stuff, and -- in next couple -- if you get down to elemental things, it is talking about the joy of birth, sadness at death, falling in love, falling out of love, losing someone, feeling lonely, seeking redemption for forgiveness, or some other thing. that is the basic elemental building blocks of everyone's human experience. pickup trucks, the sixpacks and dogs are jokes, to not deal with tough four letter words like dogs. david: beautifully said. staying with the music theme, i met a student of film scoring. it is fascinating. in a feature film as you put it, those things have enormous, in my eyes, enormous effect on the audience. i am sure you have seen and done many of these experience -- experiments where you play without music and it is different. to me about your point of view on how you work with a composer. do you do the whole thing, then find one? ken: we are different. i would like to sort of acknowledge the centrality of wynton marsalis

major walter kellog, the progressive judge julian mac, and harlan fiske stone, then serving as the dean of columbia law school. our distinguished host justice kagan has also been the dean of a law school and can tell us the deans are often called to serve on unusual assignments. but perhaps nothing ever as unusual as this. between june of 1918 and the armistice of that november, the three men traveled around the united states interrogating every single conscientious objector who was stationed at military camps. based on interrogations, often no more than a few minutes long, they carried out their obligation, which was to fix the quote, sincerity of each of the men they interviewed. that is a legal category that was determined by the ruling of the board of inquiry. and much depended on the board's decisions. those deemed sincere could be assigned to noncombat alternatives, such as a farm furlough. the insincere, however, faced the choice of donning a uniform and embarking for france or awaiting an army court-martial with the power to imprison or even execute the guilty. the board members

justice harlan's approach would have been provisioned by provision what's decide what is fundamental but it's really been justice lacks approach that wholesale incorporation against the states just as against the feds is the way that at least most provisions have been approached. so happily i can say this is pretty academic for me and so a lot of what i have said actually matters a lot more in statutory interpretation in part because there is not that much precedent on new statues. there's a ton of president on the old light. not the third amendment not a lot of cases like that come in the courts but for the most part there is a lot of president that whatever you think of baron versus baltimore it's the law and we all follow it and so it's more an academic exercise to talk about that. i think there were good arguments both ways about whether that was right in about when and how the 14th amendment affected it but it's really not something that ever comes before us anymore. >> think a judge. my question is how do you think of contextualism and how do you square that with judicial may t

>> i was just going to tie harlan m. versus comments together. i do think there's some new thinking required to think about how new technologies affect strategic stability, deterrence for missile defense, artificial intelligence, 3-d printing. so many things online could change the strategic islands and we need to think harder about that appeared the best estimates are 6% to modernize the u.s. strategic personal. secretary matus, several past secretaries of defense has that nuclear deterrence is the most important mission for the department of defense. 6% for the most important mission sounds like a reasonable proposition , a good value indeed to me appeared on this question i think you're right leadership succession is one of the weaknesses of hypocrisies. not sure what the implications are for nuclear strategy. difficulty of intelligence required to know or leader is to target a leader is very difficult so what are nuclear strategy has been over the past two years is still the best way to go forward. >> ryan. >> on the narrow questions the narr

justice harlan approach would've been provisioned by provision,, let's decide what's fundamental. it's been just as blacks approach that wholesale incorporation against the states just as against the feds is way most provisions have been approached. happily i can say this is pretty academic for me. a lot of what i have said actually matters a lot more in statutory interpretation in part because there's not that much precedent on newer statute was there's a ton of president on most of the old. not the third amendment. for the most part there's a lot of precedent what if you think of barron v. baltimore it's the law and we all follow it and so it's more an academic exercise to talk about that. i think they were good arguments both ways about whether that was right and about when and how the 14th amendment effective yet, but it's really not something that ever comes before us anymore. >> thank you, judge. my question is, how do you think of textualism and how do you square that with traditional may test? i ask this question in light of your recent dissent in the gun magazine case. i

ieing thet t comments of harlan and bruce together. technologies -- there are so many things that could change the strategic balance and we need to think harder about that. in terms of affordability, 6% of the defense budget to modernize the arsenal. several past secretaries of defense have said nuclear deterrence is the most important mission of the secretary -- of the department of defense. it sounds like a good value then. on this question, i think you are right that leadership succession is one of the weaknesses of autocracies. i'm not sure what the implications are for nuclear strategy. the difficulty of intelligence required to know where a leader is, to target a leader, that is very difficult. what our nuclear strategy has been for the past few years is still the best way to go forward. the narrow question of how many nuclear weapons we need, the last administration put forward that we could get by with fewer strategic deployed weapons and we have now. the new start treaty has a cap of 1550. , inr new start was done 2012 and 201

when i started the journey to find out about harlan, they very first i went to was the schaumburg.earchers from around the world, and use we a few. i could not have written to us about any of the i've written without the schaumburg center archives, resources. >> the schomburg center is much more than a library but we encourage lifelong learning and exploration. >> the scholarship program is a saturday program for students with fifth grade to senior in high school to help them learn about black history and culture. >> learning about my history support because it teaches me who i am. >> it will do nothing but lift us. >> so many talented and brilliant people have more the quarters of this amazing institution over the years. from octavia butler to james baldwin, ella fitzgerald, harry belafonte who graced the stage in this room of the american negro theater. >> great folks, great memories. it was a gift to us and our community really tried to find that space to reflect expressions and black experience. it was a place i needed to be. >> i'm stand here, , underneath holds the ashes of l
