NPR's Book of the Day - ‘Drawn Testimony’ is a courtroom sketch artist’s memoir spanning 40 years

Courtroom sketch artist Jane Rosenberg has worked on some of the biggest trials of the last 40 years, drawing the likes of Martha Stewart, Jeffrey Epstein, and most recently, Donald Trump. Her new memoir, Drawn Testimony, examines her unique role in the news cycle, where art and criminal justice collide. In today's episode, Rosenberg speaks with NPR's Scott Simon about how she got into this line of work, why mobsters are fun to draw and which high-profile defendant asked her to add more hair to his portrait.

Consider This from NPR - Bangladesh’s student protestors are now helping to run the country

Earlier this month, student protestors filled the streets of Dhaka, Bangladesh, in opposition to a controversial quota system for government jobs.

Authorities then cracked down on demonstrators, blocking internet access, imposing a curfew and issuing police officers a shoot-on-sight order. In just over a month, more than 600 people have been killed.

And as the protests escalated, the demonstrations started to become about much more than just the quota system.

Eventually, students were able to force Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to resign.

The students who ousted Hasina are now helping to lead Bangladesh.

"We youth are not only the generation of Facebook, YouTube and Instagram," says 19-year-old protestor Mumtahana Munir Mitti.

"We also love our country. And we also love to participate in [the] rebuilding of our country."
