This Day in Legal History: John Mitchell SentencedOn February 21, 1975, former U.S. Attorney General John Mitchell was sentenced to prison for his role in the Watergate scandal, along with Nixon's Chief of Staff H.R. Haldeman and domestic adviser John Ehrlichman. The three men were convicted of conspiracy, obstruction of justice, and perjury for their involvement in the cover-up of the 1972 break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters. Mitchell, the highest-ranking U.S. law enforcement official at the time of the scandal, was sentenced to 2 ½ to 8 years in prison, marking a significant moment in American legal history. His conviction underscored the principle that no one, not even top government officials, is above the law. Watergate, which ultimately led to President Richard Nixon's resignation in 1974, exposed widespread political corruption and abuses of power within the administration. Mitchell's sentencing reinforced the legal consequences of obstructing justice and abusing executive power. Though he served only 19 months before being released on parole, his downfall symbolized the erosion of public trust in government. The Watergate scandal also led to legal reforms, including campaign finance regulations and increased congressional oversight of the executive branch. Mitchell, once a powerful political figure, spent his later years largely out of the public eye. His case remains a key example of how legal accountability can reach even the highest levels of government.A federal judge ruled that the Trump administration failed to comply with an order to resume USAID foreign assistance payments but declined to hold the government in contempt. The lawsuit, brought by two nonprofits, accused the administration of ignoring a Feb. 13 temporary restraining order meant to restart funding while a broader injunction was considered. The government argued it had discretion under existing agreements to terminate funding despite the ruling. Judge Amir Ali disagreed, finding that the administration continued to block funds in defiance of his order, though he stopped short of issuing a contempt ruling. Concerns about Trump defying court orders have grown, especially after another judge found his administration in violation of a similar ruling on domestic funding. The Justice Department claimed it complied with the order by reviewing contracts and canceling most payments, prompting the nonprofits to file a contempt motion. The case highlights ongoing legal battles over executive power and funding decisions.Judge Says Trump Administration Didn't Follow His Funding OrderRecent legal and executive actions have significantly reshaped the power and independence of federal agencies and administrative law judges. President Donald Trump issued an executive order asserting greater presidential control over independent agencies like the SEC and FTC, undermining their traditional autonomy from the White House. The order requires these agencies to submit rulemaking proposals for executive review, allows the president to direct their legal interpretations, and grants the Office of Management and Budget control over agency spending. Critics argue this effectively eliminates the independent agency model Congress created to insulate regulatory bodies from political influence. Meanwhile, the Justice Department has declared the legal protections preventing the removal of administrative law judges unconstitutional, signaling a shift in how executive power may be used to reshape agency adjudication. This move follows Supreme Court rulings limiting agency authority and reflects broader conservative efforts, backed by figures like Elon Musk, to curb the regulatory state. Lawsuits over Trump's agency firings and judicial challenges to the Justice Department's stance are ongoing, setting the stage for further legal battles over executive power and regulatory oversight.Trump's Independent Agency Order Strikes at Model Congress MadeUS declares administrative law judge removal rules unconstitutional | ReutersThe IRS planned to notify thousands of employees of their termination via email on Thursday, but a technical glitch prevented many from receiving the message. Despite the error, the terminations are proceeding, with affected employees set to receive official notices via overnight mail. The layoffs affect approximately 6,700 probationary workers as part of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency initiative, which is implementing widespread job cuts across federal agencies. Other agencies, including the Small Business Administration and the Department of Energy, have faced similar challenges, mistakenly sending and retracting termination notices. The IRS has not indicated any reversal of its decision, stating that the cuts align with an executive order to eliminate non-critical probationary employees.IRS Plans to Cut Thousands of Workers by Post After Email Glitch - BloombergThe Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), requiring U.S. businesses to disclose their beneficial owners, is set to take effect on March 21, but uncertainty remains as legal and political challenges continue. The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) announced the deadline after a court lifted the last nationwide injunction against the law, though it may still modify the rules or delay enforcement. The CTA aims to combat financial crimes by cracking down on anonymous shell companies, but businesses argue that the requirements are overly broad and burdensome. Political opposition, particularly from Republican lawmakers, has led to efforts to repeal or delay the law, with the House overwhelmingly passing a bill to push the deadline to 2026. FinCEN also faces practical difficulties, including technical issues with its filing system and uncertainty over the number of businesses required to report. While some companies have already submitted their disclosures, others remain hesitant due to confidentiality concerns. Ongoing court battles could further disrupt enforcement, leaving many businesses frustrated by the shifting legal landscape.Corporate Transparency Deadline Set, but Uncertainty Still LoomsThis week's closing theme is by Frédéric Chopin. Frédéric Chopin, one of the most beloved composers of the Romantic era, was born in 1810, though the exact date remains a matter of debate. Some sources claim he was born on February 22, while others insist it was March 1. Regardless, his influence on classical music is undeniable. A Polish virtuoso pianist and composer, Chopin's works are celebrated for their emotional depth, intricate melodies, and rich harmonic textures. Unlike many composers of his time, he focused almost exclusively on piano music, creating some of the most poetic and technically refined pieces in the instrument's repertoire.Chopin's music was deeply personal, often reflecting his longing for his homeland after leaving Poland in 1830. His compositions blend the elegance of classical forms with the expressive lyricism of Romanticism, making his works both technically challenging and emotionally profound. His health was fragile throughout his life, and he died of tuberculosis in 1849 at just 39 years old. Despite his short career, his music remains a cornerstone of the piano repertoire, admired for its beauty and complexity.For this week's closing theme, we turn to one of Chopin's most famous and cherished works: Nocturne No. 2 in E-flat Major, Op. 9, No. 2. This nocturne captures the essence of Chopin's style—graceful, flowing melodies, delicate ornamentation, and an intimate, dreamlike atmosphere. The piece unfolds like a quiet conversation, with its gently lilting rhythm and luminous harmonies evoking a sense of nostalgia and serenity. It's a perfect way to end on a reflective note, immersing us in the timeless beauty of Chopin's music.Without further ado Frédéric Chopin's Nocturne No. 2 in E-flat Major, Op. 9, No. 2, enjoy.

Before Elon Musk was attempting to coup, his grandfather, Joshua N. Haldeman, was busy stirring up political trouble in 1930s Canada. This week, we explore how Haldeman went from chiropractor to outspoken leader of the Canadian technocracy movement—a radical political group that thought democracy needed to get phased out so an elite group of engineers and scientists could seize control of the entire North American continent. We'll break down his unconventional beliefs, his clashes with the government, and how his racsit ideas ultimately pushed him to leave Canada and start fresh in South Africa.

In under a week, the United States will have a new president. On this episode, former White House staffer and academic historian William Haldeman shares his new book that shows how presidents transform from merely an elected leader to someone whose mark is left for generations. He describes how six presidents - Washington, Lincoln, TR, FDR, JFK and Reagan - developed leadership skills over the course of their lives that could then be applied not only to policy, but to their use of the bully pulpit to make bold changes to the nation. From Washington's decision to leave office after two terms to Reagan's drive to win the Cold War, Haldeman shows how great presidents not only met the moment, but won outsized victories that contributed to freedom and democracy.William Haldeman's website can be found at https://www.williamhaldeman.com/He is on social media at https://x.com/potushistorianInformation on his book can be found at https://sunypress.edu/Books/M/Meeting-the-MomentSupport our show at https://patreon.com/axelbankhistory**A portion of every contribution is given to a charity for children's literacy** "Axelbank Reports History and Today" can be found on social media at https://twitter.com/axelbankhistoryhttps://instagram.com/axelbankhistoryhttps://facebook.com/axelbankhistoryCurrent Accounts: The Hinrich Foundation Trade PodcastHinrich Foundation is a unique Asia-based philanthropic organization that works to...Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify

This podcast highlights a variety of key aspects of real estate investing, particularly the strategic considerations in Alberta compared to Ontario. Here's a summary and analysis: Why Alberta? Tenant Laws: Alberta's landlord-tenant regulations are much more favorable compared to Ontario's, where eviction processes can be long and cumbersome. Market Dynamics: Alberta is perceived as being in a recovery phase, with Edmonton showing significant growth and development activity, presenting opportunities to buy undervalued assets. Cost of Acquisition: Buildings in Alberta, like the 10-unit purchased for $1.2M, are selling for less than replacement cost, making them attractive for value-add plays. Potential Boom: Alberta's efforts to diversify its economy beyond oil, combined with its affordability, create optimism for steady growth. Ontario Challenges Tenant Regulations: Ontario's Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) is often slow, creating frustration for landlords dealing with non-paying tenants or vacant possession. High Costs and Red Tape: Acquiring properties with value-add potential often requires overcoming steep premiums and bureaucratic hurdles. Execution on Business Plans Your approach mirrors the insights shared by Alex's mentor: Operational Efficiency: Focus on improving Net Operating Income (NOI) through better property management and cost control. Value-Add: Identifying opportunities to increase a building's value, whether through renovations or operational improvements. Project Strategies Flips: Projects in Ontario like Thorold and Haldeman illustrate the ability to transform distressed properties into high-value assets. Private Lending: Leveraging a strong private money network with a consistent track record of payments allows for efficient financing of projects without partnerships that dilute returns. Future Trends Alberta Expansion: A focus on growing portfolios in Alberta aligns with its improving economic and market conditions. Political Considerations: The province's direction, supported by strong leadership and economic planning, could significantly impact long-term viability. This aligns with your philosophy of diversifying investments and finding markets that offer better cash flow and manageable risks. Do you see Alberta fitting into your portfolio strategy, or are you more inclined to continue exploring the US and other Canadian provinces?

When General Alexander M. Haig Jr. returned to the White House on May 3, 1973, he found the Nixon administration in worse shape than he had imagined. President Richard Nixon, reelected in an overwhelming landslide just six months earlier, had accepted the resignations of his top aides—the chief of staff H. R. Haldeman and the domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman—just three days earlier.Haldeman and Ehrlichman had enforced the president's will and protected him from his rivals and his worst instincts for four years. Without them, Nixon stood alone, backed by a staff that lacked gravitas and confidence as the Watergate scandal snowballed. Nixon needed a savior, someone who would lift his fortunes while keeping his White House from blowing apart. He hoped that savior would be his deputy national security adviser, Alexander Haig, whom he appointed chief of staff. But Haig's goal was not to keep Nixon in office—it was to remove him.In Haig's Coup, Ray Locker uses recently declassified documents to tell the true story of how Haig orchestrated Nixon's demise, resignation, and subsequent pardon. A story of intrigues, cover-ups, and treachery, this incisive history shows how Haig engineered the “soft coup” that ended our long national nightmare and brought Watergate to an end.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

What does it look like to rise to the occasion on the most public of stages? How do you inspire those around you to believe in a common cause, or to take steps that benefit the whole even at the expense of the self? In his new book, MEETING THE MOMENT: Inspiring Presidential Leadership that Transformed America (SUNY Press; November 1, 2024) William Haldeman, with experience serving two presidencies (Bush and Obama), looks at six US presidents across party lines and eras, detailing the crucial points in history when their leadership abilities were on full display-the instances when they leveraged their wisdom and lived experience to inspire, memorialize, challenge, dare, or in one case, with recent resonance, simply retire. In the telling, Haldeman explores well-known events and reinvigorates them, looking at them through the lens of courage and leadership. Eight score and one year ago, Lincoln gave a brief speech in rural Pennsylvania, but what led him to that moment? Why was Jefferson confident the US was ready to acquire land from west of the Mississippi to the Rockies? And perhaps most relevant to our current moment, what gave Washington the strength to walk away from power at a time when the founders' archetype of leadership, Kings, would never consider doing so? How do these stories from centuries past show us what leadership looks like in the 21st century? Whether one aspires to political office or simply to improve their ability to lead and serve those around them, MEETING THE MOMENT is an indispensable look at the skills needed to unify and inspire under the most challenging of circumstances.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Matt Crawford speaks with Professor and author William Haldeman about his book: Meeting the Moment. The histories presented here are of a select group of US presidents, their inspired leadership characteristics, and how they may inspire us today. The traits these presidents possessed were cultivated over a lifetime of lived experience and immortalized through the power of the presidential word-speeches, letters, and addresses-which collectively represent the most transcendent documents in American history. Viewed through the lens of nuance, complication, human emotion, pathos, and drama, William Haldeman sets forth the lives of these presidents in ways to help inform our own lives, from leveraging our experience and instincts to making the right calls when they matter the most. Grounded in an interdisciplinary approach, Haldeman appeals to both scholars and general audience readers alike, offering a refreshing view of presidential leadership that not only elevates leadership as a central part of the scholarly field, but also broadly engages American presidency enthusiasts and readers of history, biography, politics, and leadership development.

Election Day is on Tuesday, November 5, and I could think of no better book to tee that up than Bill Haldeman's new book Meeting the Moment: Inspiring Presidential Leadership That Transformed America, which is out November 1. This book about presidential leadership takes a specific leadership quality of a certain president and shows readers how the combination of that quality and that president transformed America. Case in point? Bill writes that for Thomas Jefferson, his transformative leadership quality was ingenuity; for George Washington, it was his judgment; for Teddy Roosevelt, his courage and fearless, daring spirit; for Franklin D. Roosevelt, his confidence; for Ronald Reagan, his optimism. As Bill writes, when a president's defining leadership quality met their action, America was advanced. We talk today about how presidential leadership has transformed America, as Bill writes, “it was not one leadership quality that made America stronger and better—it was many.” Bill, like me, has long been interested in the American presidency, and this is a fresh, compelling take on presidential leadership that inspired me to ask myself the question, “What is my transformative leadership quality that I might be remembered by?” Bill also talks about speeches of import and tells us about a powerful one in today's episode, which presidents maybe didn't meet the moment, and about the “second term curse” for presidents. I love studying the presidency and I love studying leadership, and this book combined both subject matters brilliantly. Let me introduce you to our fantastic guest today: Bill Haldeman is a veteran public servant and is the Vice Chancellor and Chief Strategy Officer at the University of Pittsburgh. He has also served the White House Domestic Policy Council, two U.S. Secretaries of State, and is a senior staff member to a state governor. I'm excited for you to hear our conversation.   Meeting the Moment: Inspiring Presidential Leadership That Transformed America by Bill Haldeman

This Day in Legal History: Watergate Trial BeginsOn October 4, 1974, the trial of key Watergate conspirators began, marking a significant moment in American legal and political history. The defendants included top Nixon administration officials H.R. Haldeman, John Ehrlichman, John Mitchell, Robert Mardian, and Kenneth Parkinson. These men were accused of participating in the cover-up of the break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters, a scandal that would ultimately lead to President Nixon's resignation.The trial was presided over by Judge John Sirica, who had played a pivotal role in uncovering the truth behind Watergate. At the outset, the court reviewed transcripts of the now-infamous Watergate tapes, which had been secretly recorded by President Nixon in the Oval Office. These recordings captured critical conversations revealing the extent of the administration's involvement in the cover-up.The tapes provided key evidence, especially a June 23, 1972, conversation known as the "smoking gun" tape, in which Nixon and Haldeman discussed obstructing the FBI's investigation. The trial was part of the broader legal reckoning following Nixon's resignation two months earlier in August 1974.Haldeman and Ehrlichman, two of Nixon's closest aides, were found guilty of conspiracy, obstruction of justice, and perjury. John Mitchell, Nixon's former Attorney General, was also convicted on conspiracy charges. This trial helped close one chapter of the Watergate scandal, demonstrating the judicial system's role in holding even the highest-ranking officials accountable for abuses of power.A federal court has blocked President Biden's latest student debt relief plan, ruling it likely unconstitutional. The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri granted a preliminary injunction requested by a coalition of seven Republican-led states. Judge Matthew T. Schelp, who issued the ruling, emphasized the public interest in ensuring the government follows the law. The plan, which would have canceled debt for 27 million borrowers, is now paused.The plaintiffs argue the plan is an executive overreach. While Georgia was dismissed from the lawsuit for lacking standing, Missouri's Higher Education Loan Authority was found to have suffered an injury, giving Missouri standing to continue the case. This ruling temporarily halts the debt relief program as the court considers whether to permanently strike it down. The injunction is a blow to Biden's efforts to reduce student debt, following the U.S. Supreme Court's earlier decision in 2023 that struck down a broader relief plan. Another related plan, known as “SAVE,” which aims to provide zero-dollar payments and expedite forgiveness for some borrowers, is also under review by the Eighth Circuit Court. This decision prevents the debt relief plan from taking effect while the court evaluates the case, reflecting the court's consideration of the public interest and potential harm.Biden's Latest Student Debt Relief Plan Blocked by Federal CourtThe U.S. government has supported Nvidia investors in a Supreme Court case where they allege the company misled the market about its reliance on cryptocurrency mining sales. The Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed a brief urging the Court to allow the case to proceed, siding with the investors. The Ninth Circuit Court previously revived the class action, ruling that Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang made materially false or misleading statements about the company's revenue dependence on crypto mining, particularly before a 2018 market downturn.Nvidia disputes the case, claiming the investors' allegations were based on unreliable expert data. However, the DOJ and SEC argued that the claims were backed by multiple sources, including accounts from former employees, a Royal Bank of Canada report, Nvidia's own public statements, and SEC filings. These sources collectively suggest Nvidia earned $1.35 billion more from crypto sales during the boom than it disclosed.The government emphasized that the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act (PSLRA), which governs investor lawsuits, was not misapplied by the Ninth Circuit. It rejected Nvidia's argument that the case was based solely on unsubstantiated expert opinions, pointing out that the allegations were supported by sufficient evidence to infer Nvidia's intent to mislead investors.Nvidia Investors Backed by US in Supreme Court Crypto Sales CaseThe European Union's top court has ruled that Meta must limit the use of personal data collected from Facebook users for targeted advertising. This decision supports privacy advocate Max Schrems, who argued that Meta's personalized advertising violated privacy regulations by processing personal data without proper limitations. The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) emphasized that under the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the principle of data minimization restricts how much personal data companies can use for targeted ads.Meta responded by stating it has invested heavily in privacy features and does not use sensitive data for personalized ads. Schrems' lawyer welcomed the decision, saying it would significantly reduce the amount of data Meta and other companies can use for advertising, even when users consent. This ruling marks another victory for Schrems, who has repeatedly taken Meta to court over alleged GDPR violations.Meta must limit data use for targeted advertising, top EU court rules | ReutersCupertino, California, has reached a settlement with the state's Department of Tax and Fee Administration, allowing the city to retain millions in sales tax revenue tied to Apple's online sales through August 2024. The settlement resolves a dispute that began in 2021 when the department audited Cupertino's 26-year tax-sharing agreement with Apple. Under this agreement, Apple treated all in-state online sales as originating from Cupertino, directing a portion of the state sales tax to the city, which in turn shared 35% of the revenue with Apple.The tax department has scrutinized similar deals with other retailers like Best Buy and Williams-Sonoma, arguing that businesses need to show active participation in the transactions where the sales are reported. Last year, Cupertino set aside $56.5 million to potentially repay the state as the dispute escalated to $60.3 million by February 2024.The settlement avoids litigation, but the city did not disclose specific financial details or directly reference Apple in the announcement. It clarified that the agreement does not impact its tax-sharing arrangement with any taxpayer.Cupertino Settles With State in Apple Sales Tax-Sharing FightThis week's closing theme is by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.This week's closing theme is the Adagio lamentoso from Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 6 in B minor, Op. 74, also known as the "Pathétique" Symphony. Tchaikovsky composed this masterpiece in 1893, just a few months before his sudden and mysterious death. The "Pathétique" Symphony is widely regarded as his most personal and emotionally charged work, filled with profound sorrow and introspection.The fourth movement, "Adagio lamentoso," is the symphony's haunting conclusion. Unlike most symphonies, which end on a triumphant or uplifting note, Tchaikovsky chose to close his final symphony with this slow, lamenting movement. It reflects deep melancholy and resignation, expressing a sense of despair that resonates with listeners. The music ebbs and flows between quiet, intimate passages and moments of overwhelming intensity, capturing the fragility and tragedy of life.Tchaikovsky was known for his ability to express raw emotion through music, and the "Adagio lamentoso" exemplifies this talent. The theme's descending lines seem to mirror a downward spiral into sorrow, giving it an almost funereal quality. Some have speculated that the symphony reflects Tchaikovsky's own inner turmoil and struggles, adding a layer of poignancy to the already emotional score.As you listen to the "Finale" this week, take note of its deep, somber beauty and how Tchaikovsky blends anguish with moments of quiet reflection. It's a fitting close to a symphony that grapples with life's most profound emotions.Without further ado, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 6 in B minor, Op. 74, the Pathetique Symphony.

We hear that politics have never been like they are today! Let's look back at the Watergate scandal that rocked the nation and brought it to a complete standstill. Trust in the government has never recovered. Was that the purpose of it? What was Watergate? Many of the questions surrounding it have never been answered and it seems to have been relegated to an afterthought. So, let's dive in shall we?Email us at: downtherh@protonmail.com

Welcome today we're unraveling the wild, scandalous tapestry of Watergate. But before we dive headfirst into the circus, let's set the scene. Picture this: It's the early 1970s in Washington D.C., the heart of American political intrigue. The city is a blend of classical architecture and the buzz of modern politics. Picture the Capitol Building standing tall and majestic, surrounded by an air of secrecy and whispered conspiracies. Now, let's talk about the political climate. It's as tense as a tightly wound guitar string, ready to snap. The Vietnam War is still raging on, much to the frustration of the anti-war protesters who have turned the National Mall into their personal campsite. Every other week, it seems, there's a new protest or demonstration. The air smells like a mix of hotdogs from street vendors and the occasional waft of tear gas from the latest clash between police and demonstrators. Richard Nixon is the man of the hour, our 37th president. Picture him in the Oval Office, probably sweating bullets under his perfectly pressed suit. Nixon's presidency was supposed to be his magnum opus, but instead, it was more like a tragic opera. Nixon, with his deep-set eyes and ever-present scowl, looked like he was perpetually plotting something—probably because he was. His paranoia was legendary. He saw enemies everywhere: in the media, among his political opponents, even within his own administration. And speaking of Nixon's administration, they were a colorful bunch. His closest advisors, known as the 'Palace Guard,' included John Ehrlichman and H.R. Haldeman, both of whom looked like they walked straight out of a casting call for 'Men in Black.' They were Nixon's loyal enforcers, always ready to do his bidding, no matter how dubious.

At long last, the Draft is here! This issue tells the story of three new paranormals who end up drafted into the government's new paranormal military squad. Meet Gridlock, a sad man who gets no respect but can make tubes from thin air (that should help). Also Metallurgust, who can control a chevy hubcap (seriously) and Blow Out, a PhD student who explosively teleports. We also see the return of Nightmask and meet Sgt.

This Day in Legal History: Watergate Figures SentencedToday in legal history, February 21 marks a significant moment in the annals of American jurisprudence and the power of the presidency. On this day in 1975, three key figures from President Richard Nixon's administration were handed prison sentences for their roles in the Watergate scandal, an event that would forever alter the landscape of political accountability and legal oversight in the United States. Former US Attorney General John Mitchell, Nixon's Chief of Staff H.R. Haldeman, and domestic adviser John Ehrlichman were convicted of obstructing justice, each receiving sentences ranging from 2 1/2 to 8 years. This landmark decision underscored the principle that no one, regardless of their position in government, is above the law. The sentencing followed a scandal that began with the break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate office complex and spiraled into a cover-up that led to President Nixon's resignation—the only resignation of a U.S. President to date. The trial and subsequent convictions of Mitchell, Haldeman, and Ehrlichman were pivotal in bringing to light the extent of the Nixon administration's attempts to undermine the democratic process. The fallout from the Watergate affair led to sweeping reforms designed to increase transparency and reduce the potential for abuse of power within the federal government. This included the enactment of the Ethics in Government Act, the establishment of the Office of Government Ethics, and significant amendments to the Freedom of Information Act. The events of February 21, 1975, serve as a stark reminder of the fragility of democratic institutions and the perpetual need for vigilance, oversight, and accountability in preserving the integrity of governance.The Biden administration is actively soliciting feedback on the potential risks and benefits associated with "open-weight" artificial intelligence (AI) models, which are crucial for AI systems and have significant implications for national security. These open-weight models, by making AI more customizable and accessible, can foster innovation among a wider range of users, including small businesses and researchers, but also pose risks by potentially circumventing built-in safeguards. This initiative, part of a broader effort outlined in the administration's 2023 executive order on AI, aims to gather insights on the implications of public access to model weights, national security concerns, and the appropriate level of government involvement in regulating these technologies. Alan Davidson of the Commerce Department emphasized the dual nature of open-weight AI models: while they promise to democratize innovation and foster competition, they also introduce substantial safety and security challenges. The administration is also seeking to coordinate with international partners to develop guidelines for managing the dissemination and regulation of these models globally. Feedback is invited over a 30-day comment period.By way of very brief background, an open-weight AI model refers to an artificial intelligence system whose internal parameters, or "weights," are openly accessible and modifiable by users or developers. Unlike proprietary models, where the weights are closely guarded secrets, open-weight models are transparent, allowing for greater scrutiny, understanding, and customization. This openness fosters collaboration and innovation, as researchers and practitioners can build upon existing work, adapt the models to new tasks, or improve their performance and fairness. By sharing the detailed workings of these models, the AI community aims to accelerate progress, ensure broader access to cutting-edge technology, and facilitate the ethical use of AI by making it more interpretable and accountable.Of course with openness comes the potential for any safeguards or guardrails to be circumvented, thus the comment period seeking guidance on the extent to which regulatory action is necessary. White House Seeks Comments on the Risks of Open-Weight AI ModelsElon Musk has received guidance for relocating Tesla Inc.'s incorporation from Delaware to Texas, following a Delaware Court of Chancery decision that TripAdvisor Inc. can move its incorporation to Nevada. This guidance comes from Vice Chancellor J. Travis Laster, who outlined the procedures required for such a move, drawing significant attention to the potential for corporate relocations to states with laws more favorable to officers and directors. The TripAdvisor case, challenged by investors for allegedly favoring directors at shareholders' expense, has highlighted the broader implications of corporate moves on shareholder rights and litigation risks.Delaware's status as a prime venue for corporate litigation, home to nearly 70% of Fortune 500 companies, is under scrutiny as corporations like Tesla consider relocation to states offering greater litigation protections. The recent court ruling against Musk's $56 billion Tesla pay package has fueled his criticism of Delaware courts and his consideration of Texas for Tesla's incorporation, aligning with his moves for SpaceX and Neuralink.Vice Chancellor Laster allowed the investor litigation against TripAdvisor's planned move to proceed, noting that Nevada's shareholder litigation protections are perceived to be weaker than Delaware's. This decision has sparked debate among legal experts about the comparative shareholder protections across states and the potential self-interest involved in such corporate relocations.The ruling sets a precedent that companies looking to relocate must ensure the process involves a disinterested special committee and shareholder vote, addressing concerns over conflicts of interest and self-dealing. However, Musk's ambition to relocate Tesla faces challenges, including his influence over board decisions and potential pressures on board members, illustrating the complexities of corporate governance and the balance between innovation and shareholder rights.This situation underscores the evolving landscape of corporate law, the strategic considerations of incorporation locations, and the ongoing debate over the best interests of shareholders versus the autonomy of corporate directors and officers.Musk Gets Guidelines for Moving Tesla With TripAdvisor OpinionThe Texas Attorney General, Ken Paxton, has initiated a lawsuit against Annunciation House, a Catholic nonprofit organization aiding migrants, on allegations of "alien harboring, human smuggling, and operating a stash house." This legal action aims to revoke the organization's operating license in Texas, accusing it of contributing to border chaos and illegal immigration with the support of federal funds from the Biden Administration. Paxton's lawsuit, filed in El Paso County District Court, asserts that Annunciation House knowingly sheltered around 300 migrants at a time to evade U.S. Customs and Border Protection, involving transportation and placement in secretive locations.Annunciation House has countered, arguing that Paxton's lawsuit stemmed from a denied immediate access to its records, deeming the legal challenge as a baseless attempt to shut down the nonprofit under pretexts that it decries as illegal, immoral, and anti-faith. In response, Dylan Corbett, executive director of the Hope Border Institute, expressed solidarity with Annunciation House, condemning the Texas Attorney General's actions as efforts to intimidate and criminalize humanitarian aid, conflicting with Christian teachings on neighborly love.The lawsuit highlights ongoing tensions between state and federal approaches to immigration, with Texas taking aggressive steps, such as constructing a military base camp near the Eagle Pass on the U.S.-Mexico border, to curb illegal crossings. This case reflects broader debates over immigration policy, humanitarian aid, and the roles of NGOs at the border, underscored by contrasting perspectives on how to address the complexities of migration and border security.Texas sues immigration nonprofit, claiming it engaged in smuggling | Reuters Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

On this day in history, October 4, 1974, the trial of key Watergate conspirators began, marking a seminal moment in American political history. The defendants were H.R. Haldeman, John Ehrlichman, John Mitchell, Robert Mardian, and Kenneth Parkinson. Each played a significant role in the Nixon administration and faced serious charges related to the Watergate scandal.H.R. Haldeman, Nixon's Chief of Staff, was accused of conspiracy and obstruction of justice. He was ultimately convicted and served 18 months in prison. John Ehrlichman, a close advisor to Nixon, faced similar charges and was also convicted, serving 18 months. John Mitchell, the former Attorney General, was charged with conspiracy, obstruction of justice, and perjury. He was convicted and served 19 months in prison.Robert Mardian, a lesser-known figure, was initially convicted but his conviction was later overturned on appeal. Kenneth Parkinson, a lawyer for the Committee for the Re-Election of the President, was acquitted of all charges.The Watergate scandal originated from a break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters in 1972 and the Nixon administration's subsequent attempts to cover it up. Investigations revealed that Nixon had approved plans to conceal the administration's involvement, leading to a constitutional crisis and his eventual resignation.The trial was a culmination of investigations by both the Department of Justice and the U.S. Senate Watergate Committee. These investigations were intensified by the discovery of a voice-activated taping system in the Oval Office, which provided crucial evidence against Nixon and his associates.The scandal led to the indictment of 69 people, with 48 of them being convicted, many of whom were top Nixon administration officials. It also led to the impeachment process against Nixon, who became the only U.S. president to resign from office. His successor, Gerald Ford, later pardoned him.The Watergate scandal had a lasting impact on American politics, leading to greater scrutiny of political actions and making the term "Watergate" synonymous with political scandal. It also led to significant reforms in campaign financing and governmental ethics. It remains a cultural touchstone, standing as the platonic ideal of the heights of presidential scandal until a young upstart out of Queens descended an escalator into the presidency and rewrote what was possible in the realm of scandal and legal entanglements. Judge Arthur Engoron, overseeing Donald Trump's civil fraud trial in New York, has imposed a gag order on Trump and others involved in the case. This decision came after Trump criticized the judge's top law clerk on social media. Engoron warned of "serious sanctions," potentially including contempt of court, for any violations of the gag order. The case, brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, accuses Trump, his adult sons, and the Trump Organization of inflating asset values to secure favorable loans and insurance terms.Trump had shared a social media post featuring the clerk and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, calling for the case's dismissal. The post was later deleted. James is seeking at least $250 million in fines and various bans against Trump and his sons from running businesses in New York.Trump, who attended the trial, told reporters he plans to testify. The first government witness was Trump's former accountant, Donald Bender, who stated that financial statements for the Trump Organization were largely based on self-reported figures. Trump's lawyer questioned the accuracy of these reports.The trial could last until December and will review additional claims including falsifying business records and insurance fraud. Other witnesses expected to testify include the Trump Organization's former CFO and Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen. Trump also faces four criminal indictments and a civil damages trial for defamation, all of which he denies.Trump hit with gag order after lashing out at court clerk in NY fraud case | ReutersThe U.S. Supreme Court recently heard arguments concerning the funding structure of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), an agency established to regulate predatory lending. The case is an appeal against a lower court ruling that found the CFPB's funding mechanism unconstitutional, as it draws money from the Federal Reserve rather than from budgets passed by Congress. Both liberal and some conservative justices, including Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett, expressed skepticism about the argument that the CFPB's funding violates the Constitution's "appropriations clause."Kavanaugh noted that Congress could change the funding structure if needed, while Barrett questioned how the challengers would rectify the issue. U.S. Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar argued that the funding mechanism is lawful and similar to those of other financial regulators like the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.However, conservative justices like Clarence Thomas and Chief Justice John Roberts raised concerns about the agency's setup, questioning whether it undermines Congress's control over appropriations and the constitutional separation of powers.The CFPB was created in 2010 to curb predatory lending practices and has delivered $16 billion in relief to consumers through various enforcement actions. The case has broader implications as it could affect the power of federal agencies, a topic the court is set to tackle in its new term.Supporters of the CFPB warn that a ruling against the agency could leave consumers vulnerable to deceptive practices and jeopardize existing rules. A decision is expected by the end of June.US Supreme Court appears wary in case targeting consumer financial watchdog | ReutersHunter Biden, son of U.S. President Joe Biden, has pleaded not guilty to charges related to lying about his drug use while purchasing a handgun in 2018. This marks the first-ever criminal prosecution of a sitting U.S. president's adult child. Hunter Biden faces three counts, including lying on a federal form to acquire a Colt Cobra handgun and being an illegal drug user in possession of the firearm. The hearing took place in a federal courthouse in Wilmington, Delaware, and lasted 25 minutes.Conditions for Hunter Biden's release pending trial were set, including clearing travel with a probation officer and abstaining from illegal drugs and alcohol. His attorney, Abbe Lowell, plans to file a motion to dismiss the case, arguing that a previous agreement to resolve the gun and separate tax charges should still be in effect. The case has constitutional implications, especially after the U.S. Supreme Court expanded gun rights under the Second Amendment last year.The trial sets a historic precedent as it involves the adult child of a sitting president who is campaigning for reelection. The case has garnered significant attention, especially from Republicans who have long scrutinized Hunter Biden's activities. A ruling is expected to be filed by November 3.Hunter Biden pleads not guilty to gun charges in Delaware court | ReutersSam Bankman-Fried, the founder of the now-defunct FTX cryptocurrency exchange, is facing trial on charges of stealing billions from customers. The trial resumed with the aim of completing jury selection and moving on to opening statements. The case comes nearly a year after FTX's collapse, which had a significant impact on financial markets and damaged Bankman-Fried's reputation. U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan has selected a pool of nearly 50 jurors, with the final panel expected to be chosen soon.Prosecutors allege that Bankman-Fried misused FTX customer funds to support his hedge fund, Alameda Research, acquire luxury real estate, and make political donations. Three former associates, who have already pleaded guilty, are expected to testify against him. Bankman-Fried has pleaded not guilty, and his defense is likely to argue that while he may have mismanaged risk, he did not engage in theft.The defense may also attempt to shift blame onto the cooperating witnesses, suggesting they are implicating Bankman-Fried to receive lighter sentences. Bankman-Fried has been in detention since August for likely witness tampering. The trial is closely watched given its implications for the cryptocurrency sector, which has been marred by scams and regulatory scrutiny.Sam Bankman-Fried's trial to resume with jury selection, opening statements | ReutersThe IRS's recent Notice 2023-63 has redefined software development for the purpose of current year expensing, requiring most related costs to be amortized. This change poses a significant challenge for "bootstrap" software developers who typically self-fund their projects. These startups often rely on expensing their software development costs, which can make up a large portion of their annual expenses.Previously, Section 174 of the tax code allowed businesses to either deduct research and experimentation costs in the current year or amortize them over a period. Most businesses preferred the former option as it allowed them to recoup costs immediately. However, the new IRS rules have created ambiguity, making it more advantageous for some to acquire software rather than develop it, thus discouraging innovation.The new rules also introduce an administrative burden, requiring developers to meticulously track and categorize their activities to differentiate between what can and can't be expensed in the current year. This increases the complexity of tax compliance and demands additional resources and training.Moreover, the rules leave open questions about what constitutes "maintenance activities" that don't give rise to upgrades and enhancements. Such ambiguities could lead to differing interpretations and increased litigation, further straining IRS resources.The significance there is that so-called “maintenance activities” that do not give rise to upgrades or enhancements are expensable in the current year–but your guess is as good as mine what kind of development work would meet that criteria? On some level, does not every new software release intend to upgrade or enhance the previous version?I suggest that either the post-TCJA changes must be rolled back or a more well-considered policy should be implemented. If not, there's a risk that these changes could stifle software innovation, particularly affecting startups and smaller companies that were previously incentivized to innovate.New IRS R&E Rules Risk Stifling Software Innovation for Startups Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

When Richard Nixon battled for the presidency in 1968, he did so with the knowledge that, should he win, he would face the looming question of how to extract the United States from its disastrous war in Vietnam. It was on a beach that summer that Nixon disclosed to his chief aide, H. R. Haldeman, one of his most notorious, risky gambits: the madman theory. In On Nixon's Madness: An Emotional History (Johns Hopkins UP, 2023), Zachary Jonathan Jacobson examines the enigmatic president through this theory of Nixon's own invention. With strategic force and nuclear bluffing, Nixon attempted to coerce his foreign adversaries through sheer unpredictability. As his national security advisor Henry Kissinger noted, Nixon's strategy resembled a poker game in which he “push[ed] so many chips into the pot” that the United States' foes would think the president had gone “crazy.” From Vietnam, Pakistan, and India to the greater Middle East, Nixon applied this madman theory. Foreign relations were not a steady march toward peaceful coexistence but rather an ongoing test of mettle. Nixon saw the Cold War as he saw his life, as a series of ordeals that demanded great risk and grand gestures. For decades, journalists, critics, and scholars have searched for the real Nixon behind these acts. Was he a Red-baiter, a worldly statesman, a war criminal or, in the end, a punchline? Jacobson combines biography and intellectual and cultural history to understand the emotional life of Richard Nixon, exploring how the former president struggled between great effusions of feeling and great inhibition, how he winced at the notion of his reputation for rage, and how he used that ill repute to his advantage. Andrew O. Pace is a historian of moral dilemmas of US foreign relations and an adjunct professor of history at Salt Lake Community College. He is a co-host of the Diplomatic History Channel on the New Books Network and is currently working on a book about the reversal in US foreign policy from victory at all costs in World War II to peace at any price in the Vietnam War.

In On Nixon's Madness: An Emotional History (Johns Hopkins UP, 2023), Zachary Jonathan Jacobson examines the enigmatic president through this theory of Nixon's own invention. With strategic force and nuclear bluffing, Nixon attempted to coerce his foreign adversaries through sheer unpredictability. As his national security advisor Henry Kissinger noted, Nixon's strategy resembled a poker game in which he “push[ed] so many chips into the pot” that the United States' foes would think the president had gone “crazy.” From Vietnam, Pakistan, and India to the greater Middle East, Nixon applied this madman theory. Foreign relations were not a steady march toward peaceful coexistence but rather an ongoing test of mettle. Nixon saw the Cold War as he saw his life, as a series of ordeals that demanded great risk and grand gestures. For decades, journalists, critics, and scholars have searched for the real Nixon behind these acts. Was he a Red-baiter, a worldly statesman, a war criminal or, in the end, a punchline? Jacobson combines biography and intellectual and cultural history to understand the emotional life of Richard Nixon, exploring how the former president struggled between great effusions of feeling and great inhibition, how he winced at the notion of his reputation for rage, and how he used that ill repute to his advantage. Andrew O. Pace is a historian of moral dilemmas of US foreign relations and an adjunct professor of history at Salt Lake Community College. He is a co-host of the Diplomatic History Channel on the New Books Network and is currently working on a book about the reversal in US foreign policy from victory at all costs in World War II to peace at any price in the Vietnam War.

Have you ever experienced a sudden sharp pain in your back that seems to come out of nowhere? Or maybe you've noticed that your posture has been off lately, and you just can't seem to get comfortable? It's possible that you have a rib out of place. This surprisingly common issue can cause significant discomfort and frustration, but the good news is that there are things you can do to alleviate the pain and correct the problem. This past weekend, we were at a neighbor's birthday party. We ate an All-American meal of burgers and brats. As I placed the last bite of bratwurst in my mouth, I squeezed the bun a little too hard. It shot the bratwurst straight back into my throat. I couldn't get it to come back up, so I clenched down and tried to swallow it whole. That only made things worse. My eyes began to water, and I couldn't get a breath in or out. Not wanting to draw attention from the crowd gathered in the kitchen, I tapped my friend, a former firefighter, on the shoulder and subtly gave him the universal "I'm choking" signal. Not sure if I was joking or not, he quietly confirmed with me, then got behind me and gave me the Heimlich maneuver. The brat popped back into my mouth, where I continued to chew it. Our neighbor is 6'8" and strong as a bull, so I wasn't surprised when I woke up the next morning with pain in my back and difficulty getting in a full breath. Clearly, my rib had slipped out of place on my back from the Heimlich. That was the second time I experienced a rib subluxation. Last summer, before I broke my neck, I picked up our Toro Timemaster 30" mower to put it in the back of the truck. Because it's so wide, I didn't have the best posture when I stood up with it and immediately felt my rib move out of place. Since it's happened to me a couple of times now, I figured it was time to write about what causes a rib to get out of place on your back, what the symptoms are, and what you can do to treat it. Whether you're an athlete, a desk jockey, or simply someone who wants to feel your best, read on to learn how to keep your back in top shape. What is Rib Subluxation (Slipped Rib)? A rib subluxation occurs when one of the ribs in your chest moves out of its normal position. This can happen for various reasons, including injury, poor posture, or even just coughing or sneezing too hard. When a rib is out of place, it can put pressure on your nerves and cause pain, discomfort, and even difficulty breathing.Donatelli, R. (2009). Physical therapy of the shoulder. Elsevier Health Sciences. Rib subluxation is a common problem and can affect people of all ages and activity levels.Schafer, R. C. (1990). Chiropractic Management of Sports and Recreational Injuries. Williams & Wilkins. It's especially common among athletes, who may experience rib subluxation as a result of repetitive motions or sudden impacts.Haldeman, S., & Dagenais, S. (2001). A supermarket approach to the evidence-informed management of chronic low back pain. Spine Journal, 1(1), 1-7. However, anyone can experience rib subluxation, and knowing how to recognize the symptoms and treat the problem is crucial. If you think you may have a rib out of place, seek treatment as soon as possible. Left untreated, rib subluxation can lead to chronic pain, discomfort, and other health problems.Koes, B. W., van Tulder, M., & Thomas, S. (2006). Diagnosis and treatment of low back pain. BMJ, 332(7555), 1430-1434. Causes and Symptoms of a Rib Out of Place Many different things can cause a rib to get out of place on your back. Some of the most common causes include: Injury: A blow to the chest or back can cause a rib to become dislocated or out of place.Gatterman, M. I. (2005). Chiropractic management of spine related disorders. Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. Poor posture: Sitting or standing with poor posture can put pressure on your ribs and cause them to shift out of place.Bogduk, N. (2005).

March 27, 2023 Hoover Institution | Stanford University A Hoover History Working Group Seminar with Luke Nichter, Geoff Shepard, and Dwight Chapin. New evidence has surfaced in the fifty years since President Nixon's resignation. This seminar gathers together three prominent authorities on Watergate, the biggest political scandal of the 20th century. For 50 years, we were taught a carefully curated history of Watergate. It was the nation's greatest political scandal: a White House-led cover-up, the only resignation of a sitting president, and the conviction of some two dozen members of Richard Nixon's administration. However, with the opening of new archival material, a fuller history emerges that prompts us to challenge what was previously known. ABOUT THE SPEAKERS Luke A. Nichter is a Professor of History and James H. Cavanaugh Endowed Chair in Presidential Studies at Chapman University. His area of specialty is the Cold War, the modern presidency, and U.S. political and diplomatic history, with a focus on the "long 1960s" from John F. Kennedy through Watergate. He is a noted expert on Richard Nixon's 3,432 hours of secret White House tapes, and a New York Times bestselling author or editor of seven books, the most recent of which is The Last Brahmin: Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. and the Making of the Cold War. Luke's next book project, under contract with Yale University Press, is tentatively titled The Making of the President, 1968: Lyndon Johnson, Hubert Humphrey, Richard Nixon, George Wallace, and the Election that Changed America, for which he was awarded a National Endowment for the Humanities Fellowship for 2020-2021. The book draws on interviews with approximately 85 family members and former staffers, in addition to extensive archival research involving first-time access to a number of key collections that will recast our understanding of the 1968 election. Geoff Shepard is an attorney and former official in the Nixon and Ford administrations. He came to Washington in 1969 as a White House Fellow, after graduating from Harvard Law School. He then joined John Ehrlichman's Domestic Council staff at the Nixon White House, where he served for five years and worked closely with senior officials at the Department of Justice. As a result, he knew and had worked with virtually all of the major Watergate figures. He also worked on President Nixon's Watergate defense team, where he was principal deputy to the President's lead lawyer, J. Fred Buzhardt. In that capacity, he helped transcribe the White House tapes, ran the document rooms holding the seized files of H. R. Haldeman, John Ehrlichman and John Dean, and staffed White House counselors Bryce Harlow and Dean Birch on Watergate issues and developments. Over the past decade, Geoff has uncovered internal documents within the Watergate Special Prosecution Force that call into question everything we've been told about Watergate. His first book, The Secret Plot to Make Ted Kennedy President (2008), focuses on the political intrigue behind the successful exploitation of the Watergate scandal by Kennedy administration loyalists. His second book, The Real Watergate Scandal, Collusion, Conspiracy and the Plot that Brought Nixon Down (2015), focuses on judicial and prosecutorial abuses in the Watergate prosecutions. His third book, The Nixon Conspiracy, Watergate and the Plot to Remove the President (2021), describes prosecutors' work with the House Judiciary Committee to bring about Nixon's impeachment. Dwight Chapin worked as the Personal Aide to former Vice President Richard Nixon during his presidential campaign, becoming Special Assistant to the President after Nixon's election victory. He became Deputy Assistant to the President in 1971, and visited China three times: with Henry Kissinger in October of 1971, with Alexander Haig in January of 1972, and with President Nixon in February of 1972. Chapin served as “Acting Chief of Protocol” for these trips. Chapin remained in his role as Deputy Assistant until he left the White House Staff in March 1973. Chapin was also President and Publisher of Success Magazine for five years, and later served in Asia as Managing Director of Hill and Knowlton Public Relations. In 1988 Chapin established Chapin enterprises, an independent communications consultancy, which he operated for the next thirty years. Chapin published an in-depth memoirs about his time with Nixon, The President's Man (2022), which relates his memorable experiences and concludes with new insights about the break-in that brought down Nixon's presidency.

When General Alexander M. Haig Jr. returned to the White House on May 3, 1973, he found the Nixon administration in worse shape than he had imagined. President Richard Nixon, reelected in an overwhelming landslide just six months earlier, had accepted the resignations of his top aides—the chief of staff H. R. Haldeman and the domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman—just three days earlier.Haldeman and Ehrlichman had enforced the president's will and protected him from his rivals and his worst instincts for four years. Without them, Nixon stood alone, backed by a staff that lacked gravitas and confidence as the Watergate scandal snowballed. Nixon needed a savior, someone who would lift his fortunes while keeping his White House from blowing apart. He hoped that savior would be his deputy national security adviser, Alexander Haig, whom he appointed chief of staff. But Haig's goal was not to keep Nixon in office—it was to remove him.In Haig's Coup, Ray Locker uses recently declassified documents to tell the true story of how Haig orchestrated Nixon's demise, resignation, and subsequent pardon. A story of intrigues, cover-ups, and treachery, this incisive history shows how Haig engineered the “soft coup” that ended our long national nightmare and brought Watergate to an end.2 years ago #aide, #closest, #coup:, #ed, #forced, #from, #haig's, #him, #how, #locker, #nixon's, #office, #opperman, #ray, #report, #richard, #watergate

"You know, it's a funny thing,” said President Nixon to his aide, H.R. Haldeman, “every one of the bastards that are out for legalizing marijuana is Jewish. What the Christ is the matter with the Jews." Well, today you'll find out. Eddy Portnoy is the curator of a novel exhibit at the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research in New York City entitled “Am Yisrael High.” It explores the role of Jews in all aspects of marijuana: scientific research, legal and illegal commerce, the counterculture, music, politics, and advocacy for and against reform of marijuana laws. References to cannabis in the Bible, the Talmud and other Jewish texts are presented, as is evidence of cannabis at archeological sites dating back to the 3rd century BCE. The idea for the exhibit, Eddy says, first occurred to him when he stumbled across a glass bong in the shape of a menorah. Listen to this episode and let me know what you think.
