RUSH EXCERPT:
GINSBURG: "Marty was my biggest booster all my life. We were married when the same month I graduated from college. Marty had his first year of law school, then taken out at the tail end of the Korean war for service, so when we went back, he was in his second year, I was in my first year. And one of his classmates, someone I had known in Cornell, said to me, your husband is bragging about you. He is saying you’re going to be on the law review, and I look at you and you were this little twerp person. That’s the way Marty was, always made me feel I was better than I thought I was. But which was extraordinary for a young man in the ‘50s. I went to school, Cornell University, with a ratio — four men to every woman. It was the ideal place for parents of a daughter. If you could not find your man at Cornell, you were hopeless."
