TERRY GROSS, HOST: This is FRESH AIR. I'm Terry Gross. Like most sitting Supreme Court justices, my guest Sonia Sotomayor is circumspect when talking about the court. But, as she puts it, I have ventured to write more intimately about my personal life than is customary for a member of the Supreme Court. Her memoir, "My Beloved World," became a bestseller when it was published last year. It's just come out in paperback, which is the occasion for our interview. The book is about growing up poor in the South […]

Interview - 1989
January 1, 1989
MOFFORD: I never dreamed this would ever happen. I like the job and the thing that I like the most about it is that what I'm able to do for the people of the great state of Arizona. I have a very positive attitude about Arizona, where we're going, and that's what makes me really like the job.

March 27, 2017
DAN SENOR: It's no secret that there are few places in the world where Israel is more constantly and unfairly attacked than at the United Nations. The woman we are about to hear from is determined to change that. In January, she gave up her position as governor of South Carolina to represent the United States at the United Nations, because she knew she could make a difference. And although she's only been at the U.N. for two months, she's already making her mark, speaking out against attacks on Israel […]
