Description:In this special episode closing out our commemoration of Women's History Month, we pay tribute to Sadie Tanner Mossell Alexander, one of the most accomplished lawyers of the twentieth century. In 1918, she became the first woman to earn a Ph.D. (Economics) from the University of Pennsylvania, and in 1927 she was the first woman to receive a law degree from the University of Pennsylvania Law School. Practicing alongside her husband, Raymond Pace Alexander, also a lawyer, she made significant contributions to the cause of civil rights, most notably with her economic analysis of New Deal Regulations and public works projects, and as a member of the 1947 President's Commission on Civil Rights. Mrs. Alexander, who passed in 1989, was the first national president of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, serving from 1919 to 1923.Special thanks to Sydney A.

The Accident at Three Mile Island, March 28, 1979:  The worst nuclear power accident in US history never should have happened. It took systemic problems, design flaws and good old-fashioned human error to turn a minor mechanical function into an accident that could have wiped out the entire eastern seaboard of the United States. Although there is still an on-going debate about whether anyone died as a result of the accident, there was one confirmed fatality—The growth of the nuclear energy industry in the United States The Report of the President's Commission on the Accident at Three Mile Island NRC Fact sheet on the Accident at Three Mile Island Three Mile Island’s recent closure shows what people don’t realize about nuclear power Meltdown at Three Mile Island--40 Years Later (video) What the Public Will Never Know About Three Mile Island (anti-nuke perspective)

On November 29, 1963, President Lyndon B. Johnson created the President's Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy, or the "Warren Commission," to investigate the November 22, 1963 assassination of United States President John F. Kennedy. The Commission presented its final report to the President on September 24, 1964, and released it to the public on September 27.Many people were unsatisfied with the Warren Commission's conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald assassinated President Kennedy, acting alone. In 1966, American lawyer Mark Lane published the book "Rush to Judgment: A Critique of the Warren Commission's Inquiry into the Murders of President John F. Kennedy, Officer J.D. Tippit and Lee Harvey Oswald." Essentially, Lane argued that people other than Oswald participated in the assassination. The book was commercially successful, spending 29 weeks on the New York Times best-seller list.In 1967, Mark Lane released this LP, titled "Rush to Judgment, with new insights on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy." It consists of Lane explaining his criticism of the Warren Commission's conclusions, with audience reactions. Here is the tracklist:Part One: Introduction; The "Single Bullet" Theory, Including Two Lately-Discovered Medical Items, And The Commisssion's Inability To Examine All Revelant Data And Witnesses; The Zapruder FilmPart Two: Behaviour Of The FBI; Commission Zeal In Gathering Evidence; "Precisely Simulated" Re-Ennactment Of Shooting; Photographs Cropped, Suppressed, Doctored: Testimony Of Maj. Gen. WalkerFWIW I kinda love that there are a few skips in the LP. What did I cut out in order to fool my listeners? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

October 23, 2017 Cloudy with scattered showers and highs in the lower 70s.  ANSWERS TO YOUR BIGGEST QUESTIONS FOR THE NEXT NJ GOVERNOR WNYC and other partners on the Voting Block collaborative reporting series asked New Jersey residents to share their questions for the gubernatorial candidates. Hundreds of questions poured in and now – drumroll, please – we have answers to some of the most popular questions.   GOVERNOR’S RACE 2017: PROPERTY TAXES, PENSION SYSTEM, ECONOMIC GROWTH Sound bites and TV spots aren’t enough to get an accurate understanding of the leading candidates’ policies and platforms, so NJ Spotlight put together this primer to help you navigate some of the biggest issues on the table in the upcoming election.  NJSPCA: MORE A HOME FOR ‘WANNABE’ COPS THAN A HAVEN FOR ANIMALS? A new report from the State Commission of Investigation found that the NJ Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals spends more on police equipment and lawsuits than it does enforcing animal cruelty laws. NJ Spotlight says the report also found that the NJSPCA often fails to respond to animal cruelty complaints in a timely manner, spends more money on legal billings than it does on animal care, and is essentially a haven for "wannabe" cops.  CHRISTIE-LED OPIOID COMMISSION EXAMINES HEALTH INSURERS Members of the President's Commission on Drug Addiction and the Opioid Crisis met again on Friday in Washington to hear testimony from health insurance companies. NJTV says the commission, chaired by Gov. Chris Christie, is currently waiting on a long-promised federal emergency declaration from the president on the national opioid epidemic, which Trump originally promised to declare two months ago.  STUN GUNS WILL SOON BE LEGAL IN NJ: ARE THEY DANGEROUS?

In this talk, Professor John Paris asks "What is the historical meaning of "ordinary means" to sustain human life? And what has been the understanding for over 500 years of Catholic moral analysis of the obligation to sustain life?" Is it, as Pope John Paul II insisted in an allocution to a meeting of the Vatican's Pontifical Academy for Life in March, 2000 that food and water must always be provided for patients in a persistent vegetative condition (PVS). Artificial nutrition and fluids, he writes, are not medical measure, but "natural" and therefor are "ordinary means" that are always morally required." PVS is a state of permanent unconsciousness. The record for maintaining a patient in that condition is 37 years, 111 days. JOHN J. PARIS, S.J., PhD is the Michael P. Walsh Professor of Bioethics at Boston College. He has also been Professor of Religious Studies, College of the Holy Cross, Worcester, MA (1970-1990), Adjunct Professor of Medicine, University of Massachusetts Medical School, Worcester, MA (1982-1994) and Clinical Professor of Family and Community Health, Tufts University, Boston, MA 1985-1998) and has been a visiting scholar at Yale Law School, The Kennedy Institute of Ethics, The University of Chicago Medical School, Georgetown University School of Medicine, The University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and a visiting professor at the Center for Biomedical Ethics at Stanford University's School of Medicine. Fr. Paris served as consultant to the President's Commission for the Study of Ethics in Medicine, the United States Senate Committee on Aging, and the Congressional Office of Technology Assessment. He has published over 190 articles on the area of law, medicine and ethics in publications as The New England Journal of Medicine, The Journal of the American Medical Association, The Journal of Intensive Care Medicine, Pediatrics, Archives of Diseases of Childhood, The American Journal of Bioethics (AJOB), The Cambridge Quarterly of Health Care Ethics (CQ) and The Wall Street Journal. He is the Ethics Section Editor of The Journal of Perinatology. Fr. Paris served as a consultant and expert witness in many of the landmark biomedical cases including Quinlan, Baby L, Brophy, Jobes, Baby K and Gilgunn.

Ah the good old days, when life was simpler, people retired with pension plans, social security was fully funded and you spent your retirement golden years in relative financial security.  Fast forward to today, there is a perception that our retirement system is broken, and we are either already in or headed for a dramatic retirement crisis.  Much of the blame for our current state of  retirement preparation has been placed on the rise of 401(k) plans.  However, does the data support both the romanticized vision of the past and the bleak picture of our present and future?  To help sort through things I have Andrew Biggs, a Resident Scholar at the American Enterprise Institute with me today.  His research on retirement preparation, social security and his relentless focus on data lends for an interesting conversation and perspective on some popular narratives in the media about workplace retirement plans.   Guest Bio Andrew G. Biggs, Ph.D., is a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington, DC. Prior to joining AEI he was the principal deputy commissioner of the Social Security Administration (SSA), where he oversaw SSA's policy research efforts and led the agency's participation in the Social Security Trustees working group. In 2005 he worked on Social Security reform at the National Economic Council and in 2001 was on the staff of the President's Commission to Strengthen Social Security. Andrew’s work at AEI focuses on Social Security reform, state and local government pensions, and comparisons of public and private sector compensation. His work has appeared in academic publications as well as outlets such as the Wall Street Journal, New York Times and Washington Post, and he has testified before Congress on numerous occasions. He holds a Bachelors degree from the Queen's University of Belfast, Masters degrees from Cambridge University and the University of London and a Ph.D. from the London School of Economics.   401(k) Fridays Podcast Overview Struggling with a fiduciary issue, looking for strategies to improve employee retirement outcomes or curious about the impact of current events on your retirement plan?
