. >> no, she was a professor at rutgers law school.nderstand it. so i called her up and i got an hour-long lecture. i ended up sort of like a goose whose liver was now ready for fois gras. >> stephen: she jammed this down your throat? >> right. >> stephen: you had to balance being the friend of a justice with covering the supreme court. how delicate of a balance was that? and did you always get it right? >> we got it right all except once when she didn't want me to ask her about what the-- the mean thing she said about trump. and i said, "i'm sorry, ruth, but i have to ask you. that's my job." >> stephen: sure. >> and she was very cognizant of that, to the point that my husband, who is a surgeon, was a medical confidant for her. and i didn't know what was going on when she was getting sicker. and at one point, she called me from the i.c.u., after she had been operated on for lung cancer. and i'm waiting to do a tv hit. and she calls-- we're in the restaurant-- and she says, "nina, it's ruth. i'm sitting here having a better consomme th

now, i think there is a sense that having a monarch rutgers actually might be a good thing, and that we actually want somebody in this room who is really moved by these issues. of course, the queen was exactly that person, they're caring person. to see that legacy. he said that she was an inspiring example and in the years -- he will endeavor to live up to the example and show the same service and dedication. at the moment, i feel that we are trusting them that we may have here a king who does a very good job, who wears that mental of kinship roy. >> suzannah, the queen reigned over seven decades, in the age of radio, tv and later social media. do you anticipate king charles that there to be able to navigate the royal family and how it's viewed, having such an accessible public image now versus when the queen took over for her reign? >> that's a really good question because media is everything. every action is scrutinize quickly across the world. i think it helps that he knows who he is. he is a man in his 70s. he has been happily married for 17 years. there isn't a great deal of tra

in 1971 a law professor at rutgers university named ruth bader ginsburg wrote a legal brief arguing thenstitutional tax law discriminating on the basis of sex. the argument cited the 14th amendment's guarantee of equal protection under the law. a young female legal affairs reporter for the "national observer" nina totenberg wanted some clarification as to how the amendment pertained. she found ginsburg phone number and called her. ginsburg answered, gave a detailed explanation and thus launched a friendship between these two women. toentberg was hired at public radio and became one of its founding mothers, if you will. she's been there ever since where she covers legal affairs and the supreme court. ginsburg was appointed in 1980 to the d.c. circuit court of appeals by president jimmy carter and then by president bill clinton to the supreme court in 1993. she served until her death until fall of 2020, two-year anniversary, by the way, i think tomorrow. along the way in 2000, ginsburg officiated at totenberg's second wedding. their unique friendship is the topic of the brand new book cal

so you're looking at new jersey transit rutgers police as this county police the prosecutors investigators office the newark police, new jersey transit conrail has a police force, you know all of these places, so that he came before me and he was really upset but he was this law student. so a part of his sentence was to write an essay at the time. i did not know the extent of what it was that happened to mr. polanese. and so he read his essay how good decisions and bad decisions might impact my life. and his case was dismissed he was sent off. the one day i was at the law school, and this nicely dressed young man comes up to me and it's like i don't know if you remember me. and he is now at that time a prosecutor. right because processing him on that ticket would have created an issue for him. and it just said disorderly persons. but i don't know what that means because that could mean anything and it could mean you just spoke you you spoke back when the offices spoke to you. then i see him so like i'm like wow, this is amazing and i said to him you got a second chance when you see somebod

rutgers gets 20% of its budget from the state of new jersey it does have more than 20% of the studentm new jersey, but what expectations are there for those slots to go to students who live in the state that is getting that is giving a huge amount of funding for that school? >> well, that has always been part of the big debate about international students, particularly those from china, because they are supposedly taking slots from in-state residents and from u.s. residents, but, you know, so the slots will go, perhaps, more to in-state, more to u.s. students, that's great for the u.s., great for those in-state students, but the question is still that budget hole left because the in-state students are paying less than half what the international students are so yes, the slots will go more local, but who's going to fill the financial hole that's left that's the big question. >> so many questions swirling in higher education right now why tuition has outpaced the rate of inflation for so long. how they're going to deal with some of this with the student debts that have been out there it
