NPR’s Nina Totenberg, who covers The Supreme Court for the public radio giant, recently shared this intimate portrait of a decades-long friendship with the recently deceased Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Their friendship, which began with a phone call, included weekly dinners and the promise to never cross lines between their work and their personal relationship. It’s a remarkable window into a quite unusual and long lasting friendship. Spoiler alert: RBG didn’t know how to use an oven.
