Philip K. Howard, an author, attorney, and chair of Common Good, a nonpartisan, non-profit coalition, argues that one of the keys to restoring common sense in America is an extensive reexamination of the nation’s laws, particularly those that are outdated or ineffective. He critiques modern legal orthodoxy in his new book, “The Rule of Nobody: Saving America from Dead Laws and Broken Government.”

Emmy-winning filmmaker and Academy Award nominee Liz Garbus discusses her upcoming Netflix documentary, “What Happened, Miss Simone?,” in which she uses rare archival footage and never-before-heard recordings to paint a portrait of the legendary recording artist and civil rights activist Nina Simone.

Over the course of a career spanning more than six decades, Hollywood legend Robert Duvall has delivered some of the most iconic performances in cinematic history, including signature roles in films like “The Godfather,” “Apocalypse Now,” and “Tender Mercies,” for which he won an Academy Award. In an extended conversation, he talks about his career and his newest film, “Wild Horses.” Duvall, who co-wrote and directed the film, plays a Texas rancher with a dark past who is seeking to redeem his relationships with his three grown sons.
