Reintroducing Sonia Sotomayor

The once-maligned justice has taken up the mantle of RBG and Thurgood Marshall. But what can she accomplish on the most conservative court in decades?

Reposted from @nytarchives These boogiers caught a little Saturday night fever on January 27, 1979, showing off the latest moves — and on wheels, no less! — for our photographer Marilynn K. Yee at Empire Rollerdrome in Brooklyn, which #nytimes called “truly the Radio City Music Hall of discos.” Among the city’s professional dancers, The Times reported, there was some debate that season over the merits of the discothèque. The ballet dancers mostly shunned it. The Broadway crowd went nuts for it. And Tim Wengerd, then the leading dancer for the Martha Graham Dance Company, told the paper that, while it should be indulged sparingly, “letting go at a disco kind of gets all the kinks out.” As for the civilian crowd, rising enthusiasm lifted all levels of talent. Skaters at the Empire “shift in and out of whizzing conga lines, listing as precisely as Rockettes,” the paper reported, their swift strokes interrupted only momentarily by “spectacular falls from which the dancers rise without a missed beat.” The skaters shimmied and arabesqued their way into the wee hours of the morning. “I’ve got to take this thing to the far reaches of the weekend!” the “cheerfully raucous” DJ told The Times. “Weekend freaks, let’s go!” #nytarchives #MarilynnKYee - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/B70zm5jgOUt/?igshid=11v36pnnsrsxx
