May It Please the Court
Northwestern University Professor Jerry Goldman has devoted considerable time to archiving every recorded Supreme Court oral argument since the Court began to tape-record its proceedings in 1955. The result is Oyez (pronounced o-yay), the best archive of Supreme Court audio on the internet. Oyez recently released several of the Court's "landmark" decisions in MP3 format format including Gideon v. Wainwright, Miranda v. Arizona, and Roe v. Wade. More about Oyez from Wired News.
Museum of Contemporary Art
From Mariko Mori to Andreas Gursky and Hiroshi Sugimoto, the Museum of Contemporary Art has become Chicago’s premier photography showcase. This summer brings one more photography exhibit not to be missed:
