This Day in Legal History: Bruno Hauptmann ConvictedOn February 13, 1935, a New Jersey jury convicted Bruno Hauptmann of kidnapping and murdering the infant son of famed aviator Charles Lindbergh. The crime had transfixed the nation for nearly three years and was widely labeled the “Crime of the Century.” The child was taken from the Lindbergh home in 1932, and despite a ransom payment, was later found dead. Public outrage was immediate and intense, with newspapers covering nearly every development in the investigation and trial.Hauptmann's prosecution relied heavily on circumstantial evidence, including ransom notes and expert testimony linking his handwriting to those notes. The government also introduced evidence tying marked ransom bills to Hauptmann's possession. The trial raised early concerns about the reliability of forensic handwriting analysis and the influence of media attention on jury impartiality. Critics then and now have questioned whether the intense publicity compromised due process protections.The case also reshaped federal criminal law. In response to the kidnapping, Congress enacted the Lindbergh Law, formally known as the Federal Kidnapping Act. The statute made it a federal offense to transport a kidnapping victim across state lines, expanding federal jurisdiction over what had traditionally been a state crime. That shift reflected a broader trend during the early twentieth century toward increased federal involvement in criminal enforcement.Today, the Hauptmann conviction remains a staple in criminal law courses, not only for its tragic facts but also for its lasting procedural and constitutional implications.Goldman Sachs' chief legal officer, Kathy Ruemmler, resigned after newly released Justice Department documents detailed her past communications with Jeffrey Epstein. CEO David Solomon announced that he accepted her resignation, which will take effect on June 30. Ruemmler said the media attention surrounding her prior legal work had become a distraction. The disclosures showed she exchanged numerous emails with Epstein between 2014 and 2019 and received gifts from him, including luxury items. Some emails revealed that she advised Epstein on how to respond to press inquiries about his treatment by prosecutors.The documents also noted that Epstein attempted to contact her by phone on the night of his 2019 arrest on sex trafficking charges. Ruemmler stated that she knew Epstein only in her capacity as a defense attorney and denied any knowledge of ongoing criminal conduct. Before joining Goldman, she led the white-collar defense practice at Latham & Watkins and previously served as White House counsel during the Obama administration.The broader document release has drawn attention to Epstein's connections within major financial institutions, including UBS and JPMorgan. Ruemmler's departure marks one of the most prominent banking exits linked to the renewed scrutiny of Epstein's network.Top Goldman Sachs lawyer Ruemmler resigns after Epstein disclosures | ReutersA federal judge in Minnesota ruled that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement improperly interfered with detainees' access to their attorneys during a recent enforcement operation. U.S. District Judge Nancy Brasel found that ICE's practices during “Operation Metro Surge” effectively denied thousands of people meaningful legal access. The order requires ICE to stop quickly transferring detainees out of Minnesota and to permit attorney visits and confidential phone calls. The ruling will remain in effect for 14 days while the case proceeds.The class action lawsuit was filed on January 27 on behalf of noncitizen detainees. According to the court, many individuals were moved out of state without notice, making it difficult or impossible for lawyers to locate them. In some instances, detainees were transferred so often that ICE itself lost track of their whereabouts. Judge Brasel concluded that while ICE did not formally deny the right to counsel, its actions in practice severely limited that right.The court also cited evidence that detainees were given limited phone access, sometimes sharing a small number of phones among dozens of people, with calls occurring in nonprivate settings. One asylum seeker with a valid work permit was held for 18 days despite a court order requiring his earlier release and was transferred across multiple states without explanation. The judge rejected ICE's claim that it lacked sufficient resources, noting that the agency had committed substantial personnel and funding to the enforcement effort.ICE blocked detainees' access to lawyers in Minnesota, judge finds | ReutersPresident Donald Trump announced four new judicial nominations, including a White House attorney selected for a seat on the U.S. Court of International Trade. The nominee, Kara Westercamp, currently serves as associate counsel in the White House and previously worked at the Justice Department. If confirmed, she would join a nine-member court that handles disputes involving U.S. trade laws, including challenges to tariffs. Her nomination comes as numerous companies contest Trump's sweeping global tariffs and seek refunds on duties already paid.Retailers and manufacturers such as Costco, Goodyear, and Revlon have filed lawsuits arguing that the tariffs exceed presidential authority. Earlier rulings from the trade court and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit blocked most of the tariffs, and the U.S. Supreme Court is now reviewing the matter. Trump has publicly criticized the earlier decisions.In addition to Westercamp, Trump nominated Katie Lane to a federal district court in Montana, Sheria Clarke to a district court seat in South Carolina, and federal prosecutor Evan Rikhye to a 10-year term on the District Court of the Virgin Islands. All nominees must be confirmed by the Senate.Trump nominates White House lawyer to court hearing tariff cases | ReutersFormer CNN anchor Don Lemon is scheduled to appear in federal court in Minnesota to enter a plea related to charges stemming from his coverage of a protest at a St. Paul church. The protest targeted President Donald Trump's immigration enforcement surge in the state. Lemon, now an independent journalist, livestreamed the January 18 demonstration, which disrupted a worship service at Cities Church.Federal prosecutors charged him with conspiring to violate civil rights and with obstructing access to a house of worship under a statute also used in cases involving abortion clinic protests. His attorney argues that the prosecution infringes on Lemon's First Amendment rights and characterizes the case as an attack on press freedom. Trump publicly supported the charges, while Attorney General Pam Bondi stated that authorities would protect the right to worship without interference.The protest occurred during broader demonstrations against federal immigration actions in Minnesota, where thousands had gathered to oppose the crackdown. Lemon was seen on video speaking with activists before and during the disruption and interviewing participants and congregants inside the church. Another journalist, Georgia Fort, faces similar charges and has denied wrongdoing, stating she was reporting rather than participating.Journalist Don Lemon to enter plea in Minnesota ICE protest case | ReutersThis week's closing theme is by Johann Sebastian Bach.Bach stands as one of the central figures of the Baroque era, revered for the structural clarity and spiritual depth of his music. Born in 1685 into a long line of musicians, Bach spent much of his career serving as a church organist and cantor in German cities such as Arnstadt, Weimar, and Leipzig. Though not widely celebrated outside musical circles during his lifetime, his reputation has since grown to near-mythic status. His compositions balance intellectual precision with emotional resonance, blending intricate counterpoint with lyrical expression.This week's closing theme is his Cello Suite No. 1 in G major, BWV 1007, likely composed around 1720 during his tenure in Köthen. The suite opens with one of the most recognizable preludes in all of classical music, built from flowing arpeggios that unfold with quiet inevitability. Written for unaccompanied cello, the piece demonstrates Bach's ability to imply harmony and depth through a single melodic line. The suite follows the traditional Baroque dance structure, moving from Prelude through Allemande, Courante, Sarabande, Menuets, and Gigue.For many listeners, the Prelude evokes clarity, order, and calm—qualities that make it a fitting close to the week. Its simplicity is deceptive; beneath the surface lies careful architecture and subtle harmonic movement. The work fell into relative obscurity until the twentieth century, when cellist Pablo Casals famously revived it and brought it to concert stages worldwide. Today, it remains a cornerstone of the cello repertoire and a touchstone of Baroque artistry. As a closing theme, it offers both reflection and renewal, ending not with flourish but with quiet confidence.Without further ado, Johann Sebastian Bach's Cello Suite No. 1 in G major, BWV 1007–enjoy!

Folge 282: Für welches Tasteninstrument hat Bach eigentlich seine Französischen Suiten vorgesehen und wer hat sie zuerst gespielt? Und was hat die Feuerwehr mit der Gigue zu tun?
Apesar do nome, Bach nunca foi à Inglaterra — e, sinceramente, duvido que tomasse chá às 5. O nome “inglesa” veio depois, talvez por causa de algum nobre britânico misterioso que recebeu a dedicatória. Ou talvez porque... sei lá, “suíte alemã” não soava chique o suficiente.A suíte começa com um Prelúdio cheio de energia, como se dissesse: “Atenção, senhores! A dança vai começar!”. É rápido, ornamentado, e exige que os dedos do cravista estejam mais aquecidos que café no fogão.E então... entram as danças barrocas:A Allemande, cheia de elegância;A Courante, saltitante, quase uma corrida leve;A Sarabande, mais introspectiva — tipo aquela hora da festa em que todo mundo fica sentimental;Depois vem a Double, uma variação mais enfeitada da Sarabande;As Gavottes I e II, que são tipo o biscoito de polvilho da corte: crocantes, leves e ninguém consegue ouvir só uma;E por fim, a Gigue — que fecha com chave de ouro, em ritmo acelerado, como se Bach dissesse: “Pode aplaudir, agora acabou mesmo!”..Apresentado por Aroldo Glomb com Aarão Barreto na bancada.

This week's quiz: On 10 May, I asked you about a scientific summit held earlier that week here in Paris. It was about bringing to Europe US scientists whose research funds were being threatened – and now, many have been canceled - by US President Donald Trump. The summit, called “Choose Europe for Science”, was attended by EU commissioners, scientists, and ministers for research from member countries, and hosted by Paris's Sorbonne University. It closed with speeches by French President Emmanuel Macron and EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. You were to re-read our article “France hosts summit to lure scientists threatened by US budget cuts” and send in the answer to this question: Which specific research specialties are the Europeans hoping to attract? Amongst possible others, which specific sectors of research are the Europeans targeting? The answer is, to quote our article: “Macron's office said France and the EU are targeting researchers in a number of specific sectors, including health, climate, biodiversity, artificial intelligence and space.” The first “refugee scientists”, as they're being called, are on their way here. In addition to the quiz question, there was the bonus question: “How do you greet friends and relatives? How do you greet people you are being introduced to for the first time? What do these forms of greeting mean to you?” The question was suggested by Jocelyne D'Errico from New Zealand. Do you have a bonus question idea?

Donald Macleod delves into the life of Luise Adolpha Le Beau Luise Adolpha Le Beau was a German composer, concert pianist, teacher and music critic. Although her music was performed as far afield as Calcutta and Sydney, her story is one of continual struggle for recognition and respect. Le Beau frequently met opposition to her works and to performance opportunities, Despite these set-backs, Le Beau forged her own path as a composer not only with works for her own instrument, the piano, but also with chamber music, opera, a symphony and many songs. She was determined to succeed, but after her death, without anyone to promote her works on her behalf, Le Beau soon fell into obscurity and was largely forgotten. This week, Donald Macleod is joined by guest Dr Katy Hamilton to shine a light on Le Beau's musicMusic Featured: Piano Concerto in D minor, Op 37 (excerpt) Fantasiestück, Op 1 No 1 (Drei Klavierstücke) Fünf Lieder, Op 7 (excerpt) Piano Concerto in D minor, Op 37 (Allegro maestoso) Piano Sonata, Op 8 (excerpt) Violin Sonata, Op 10 Mazurka, Op 57 No 3 (Drei Klavierstücke) Polonaise, Op 26 No 3 (Drei Stücke) Theme and Variations, Op 3 Fünf Lieder, Op 11 (excerpt) Piano Trio, Op 15 Concert Overture in F major, Op 23 Eight Preludes, Op 12 No 2 (Munter) Romance, Op 35 Vier Stücke, for cello and piano, Op 24 Fünf Lieder, Op 11 (excerpt) Improvisata for left hand, Op 30 Gavotte, Op 32 Piano Concerto in D minor, Op 37 (excerpt) Eight Preludes, Op 12 No 8 (Mit Grazie) Nachstück, Op 26 No 2 (Drei Stücke) Deutscher Regien, Klavierstück, Op 49 Piano Quartet, Op 28 Drei Lieder, Op 39 Symphony in F major, Op 41 (Allegro con fuoco) Gigue, Op 48 No 3 (Danze Antiche) Vater unser, Op 61 Symphony in F major, Op 41 (Adagio) Cello Sonata, Op 17 Barcarole, Op 59 Abendklänge, Op 63 Symphony in F major, Op 41 (excerpt)Presented by Donald Macleod Produced by Luke Whitlock for BBC Audio Wales & WestFor full track listings, including artist and recording details, and to listen to the pieces featured in full (for 30 days after broadcast) head to the series page for Donald Macleod delves into the life of Luise Adolpha Le Beau (1850-1927) https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0025cflAnd you can delve into the A-Z of all the composers we've featured on Composer of the Week here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/3cjHdZlXwL7W41XGB77X3S0/composers-a-to-z
Gerade mal 23 Jahre alt ist der Student Stephan Braun, als ihn Heidi Abel interviewt. Doch was der junge Mann erzählt, hätte für mehrere Sendungen gereicht. Das vielleicht ausserordentlichste Gespräch, das Heidi Abel für Musik für einen Gast geführt hat, beendet die Reprisen-Serie dieses Herbstes. Ja, diese Sendung ist wirklich speziell. Die bekannte und beliebte Fernseh- und Radiomoderatorin Heidi Abel, die 1982 und 1983 zwei Jahre lang auch die Sendung «Musik für einen Gast» moderiert hat, besucht den Studenten Stephan Braun in einer Wohnung in Schwamendingen, die dieser nur temporär und nur als Gast bewohnt. Gleich zu Beginn erzählt der Student der Veterinärmedizin, welchen intensiven Bezug er zu Anton Bruckner hat und wie wenig ihn Musik interessiert, die nicht diese Komplexität hat. Danach entwickelt sich ein Gespräch über ein damals noch recht junges Leben, in dem aber schon so sehr viel passiert ist: Der frühe Unfalltod des Vaters, eine ausgewachsene Krise in der Spätpubertät, das Nachholen der Matura und der Beginn des Studiums und schliesslich die grosse Sehnsucht nach der Freundin, die zum Zeitpunkt der Ausstrahlung am 17.März 1983 noch ganze sechs Monate in New York sein wird, und das, obwohl «jeder Tag zu viel» sei, wie Stephan Braun zum Schluss des Gespräches sagt. Dazwischen exquisite Musiktitel aus Klassik und Pop, kaum jemandem bekannt, die weder an- noch abgesagt werden und auf diese Weise das Gespräch nicht unterbrechen, sondern ergänzen. Ein unerwartetes Radiohighlight aus dem Archiv. Sendung vom 17. April 1983 Die Musiktitel: 1. Anton Bruckner – 4. Finale aus der Sinfonie Nr. 8 in c-Moll Berliner Philharmoniker / Herbert von Karajan, Leitung 2. Al Jarreau – Love Is Real 3. Blue rondo a la Turk – Change 4. J.S. Bach – 6.

A brief(er) episode for you today: Bach's first published opus was his six partitas for keyboard. In some of the sources within Bach's circle, copies retained as a ‘Handexemplar' include revisions by a scribe we can almost say with certainty is Bach himself. The most consequential of these revisions appears at the end of the third partita, where the second half of the Gigue is re-written with what one might call ‘updated' or ‘refined' counterpoint. Here we see the main source (G 25) in question:Hard to see here, but if we zoom in, we see that this:Is a correction of the original printings, which read:This link here should allow you to download the original print of all six partitas. N.B. As that link is the download of the original print, it will not contain any of the corrections mentioned in this episode. For a full list of the scholarship on these changes, see: Wolff, C. (1999). Text-critical comments on the original print of the Partitas. In Bach: Essays on his life and music (pp. 214-222).

A memorable collection, a composer whose primacy spans the ages, a great performer. We find ourselves in front of Johann Sebastian Bach's (1685-1750) six Suites for solo cello, performed by Antonio Meneses. In J. S. BACH: THE CELLO SUITES he turns to this precious legacy, which he masters like few others. Around the world, he presents it to audiences. In the past, he has recorded it. Now, a new perspective on these eternally meaningful works leads him to rediscover them. Tracks1. Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major, BWV 1007: I. Prélude – (2:30) 2.

Remember the carefree days of youth, when all seemed right with the world and the only bodily pains you had were growing pains? Nope, we don't either! On this episode of T&B, we are officially claiming the status of ANCIENT, distracting ourselves from reality with a GIGUE, and delving into the realms of fantasy and Facebook, where anyone can be a god and everyone has an AVATAR to prove it. To top it all off, we're using our ancient brains to solve the NYTimes word game, Connections…live! If you're looking for escapism, you've come to the right place.
Two friends and academics recap classic literature and take it off its pedestal. In our forty-third episode, we go back to ancient epics and probably the earliest text we can cover on this show: the Epic of Gilgamesh (circa 2100-1200 BC). In this episode, Daniel finds religion, Abby repents her punning ways, we see a glorious return of MeasuringWorth, and our hosts make way for the real star of the show: semi-standardised cubits.Cover art © Catherine Wu.Episode Themes: Bach, 'Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major, VI. Gigue'; Baligh Hamdi 'Hobb Eih' on Arabic oud. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Handel's keyboard suites have remained strangers to most concert pianists. Seong-Jin Cho hopes that his latest album for Deutsche Grammophon will shed new light on some of the most heartfelt of all Baroque music. Set for release today, The Handel Project contains three of the 28-year-old South Korean pianist's favourite suites from Handel's first collection of Suites de pièces pour le clavecin. These are coupled with Brahms's virtuosic Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Handel, which Cho believes to be “the best variations that have ever been written”.Track Listing:1 Adagio 02:362 Allegro 02:183 Adagio 01:374 Allegro 02:105 Prélude 02:166 Allegro 02:297 Allemande 03:058 Courante 01:419 Gigue 02:0110 Prélude 02:0911 Allemande 04:3412 Courante 01:4313 Air & 5 Variations "The Harmonious Blacksmith" 03:3514 Aria 00:4915 Var. 1 00:4716 Var. 2 (Animato) 00:4217 Var. 3 (Dolce) 00:4418 Var. 4 (Risoluto) 00:4919 Var. 5 (Espressivo) 00:5720 Var. 6 00:5621 Var. 7 (Con vivacitá) 00:3822 Var. 8 00:3623 Var. 9 (Poco sostenuto) 01:1724 Var. 10 (Energico) 00:3525 Var. 11 (Dolce) 00:4826 Var. 12 (Soave) 00:4927 Var. 13 (Largamente, ma non più) 01:2528 Var. 14 (Sciolto) 00:3829 Var. 15 00:4430 Var. 16 (Piano ma marcato) 00:3131 Var. 17 (Più mosso) 00:2932 Var. 18 (Grazioso) 00:5133 Var. 19 (Leggiero e vivace) 01:0634 Var. 20 (Legato) 01:2335 Var. 21 (Dolce) 00:5136 Var. 22 01:0537 Var. 23 (Vivace e staccato) 00:3338 Var. 24 00:3339 Var. 25 00:3840 Fugue 05:0841 Sarabande 02:3642 Minuet (Arr.

"Gigue" is the French word for jig -- a lively dance in triple time. The jig started out as folk dance in Ireland, Scotland, and northern England, before finding its way into classical music.
