- From the Archives 59: Senator Everett McKinley Dirksen, Gallant Men/The New Colossus (Statue of Liberty) (1967
In 1966, Senator Everett McKinley Dirksen (R-IL) (1896-1969), known by his detractors as "The Wizard of Ooze" for his unctuous demeanor, recorded an LP titled "Gallant Men: Stories of the American Adventure" for Capitol Records. It consisted of Dirksen intoning patriotic speeches about American history over a orchestral and choral accompaniment.
The record was an unexpected success, so in 1967, Capital released the title track "Gallant Men" as a single, with the previously unreleased track "The New Colossus (Statue of Liberty)" on the B-side. Gallant Men was written by Charles Wood and John Cacavas. The New Colossus (Statue of Liberty) was written by John Cacavas. Both tracks were arranged and conducted by John Cacavas. The single was produced by M.A. Mangum.

5 min - From the Archives 58: Mark Lane, Rush to Judgment (1967)
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 Film
Part Two: Behaviour Of The FBI; Commission Zeal In Gathering Evidence; "Precisely Simulated" Re-Ennactment Of Shooting; Photographs Cropped, Suppressed, Doctored: Testimony Of Maj. Gen. Walker
FWIW I kinda love that there are a few skips in the LP. What did I cut out in order to fool my listeners?

39 min - Chris Bradley on Business Entities as Skeleton KeysIn this episode, Christopher G. Bradley, Assistant Professor of Law at the University of Kentucky College of Law, discusses his new article "Business Entities as Skeleton Keys." Bradley explains how business entities can enable contracting parties to achieve goals that contracts prohibit. He begins by describing the Artist's Contract, a form contract created in 1971, and intended to enable artists to contract for resale royalties in their works. He observes that contract and copyright doctrine make the Artist's Contract unenforceable, but explains how artists can use LLCs or other business entities to achieve a result that contract law prohibits. He discusses some other contexts in which LLCs could be used in the same way, and reflects on whether and when parties should be able to use business entities to avoid legal doctrines. Bradley is on Twitter at @cgbradley14.

44 min - Scott Dodson on the Justification for Diversity JurisdictionIn this episode, Scott Dodson, Geoffrey C. Hazard Jr. Distinguished Professor of Law & Associate Dean for Research at University of California Hastings College of the Law, discusses his article "Beyond Bias in Diversity Jurisdiction," which will appear in the Duke Law Journal. Dodson begins by explaining what diversity jurisdiction does and why it exists. He discusses the "bias" rationale for diversity jurisdiction, and identifies why it is no longer compelling, if it ever was. But he also explains why diversity jurisdiction could still be good policy, even without the bias rationale. And he argues that moving past bias, and considering other possible justifications, could be beneficial. Dodson is on Twitter at @ProfDodson.
