Last night, Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia launched his book tour with an interview conducted by CNN’s Piers Morgan. Scalia’s co-author, professor Bryan A. Garner, also appeared to discuss their title Reading Law: The Interpretation of Legal Texts.

We’ve embedded one clip above. Here’s more from TV Newser: “While interviews with Scalia are unusual, they are not unprecedented. He has spoken to CBS News and PBS’ Charlie Rose in recent years, and has occasionally been interviewed at events that were broadcast on C-SPAN.”

Follow this link to view clips from last night’s interview. Appointed by President Ronald Reagan in 1986, Scalia has become the longest-serving justice currently on the Supreme Court. In 2008, he and Garner wrote Making Your Case: The Art of Persuading Judges (2008).

Novelist and Duke University professor Reynolds Price has passed away. He was 77-years-old. Above, we’ve embedded a Charlie Rose interview with the author.

Classics Rock! posted this tribute to the author: “He was known as a prolific writer who produced nonfiction, poetry, plays, essays, and fiction, including the novel Kate Vaiden, which won the National Book Critics Circle Award in 1986. His most recent book was his third memoir, Ardent Spirits: Leaving Home, Coming Back, published in 2009. Less well known is Price’s work as a lyricist: He collaborated on two songs with his friend and fellow North Carolinian James Taylor.”

The site also linked to a number of Taylor songs written by the late novelist, including “New Hymn” and  “Copperline.”

Here’s an excerpt: “In promoting this book, we have already been told by Barbara Walters‘s producer, No, you cannot be on The View, I cannot disrupt my relationship with Oprah. Joy Behar, the same thing. Charlie Rose; Larry King said, I will not do it, it might upset Oprah. Even David Letterman.”

UPDATE: A CNN insider told us this afternoon: “Larry King hasn’t spoken with Kitty Kelley in five years.”

Kelley’s 544-page biography of Winfrey’s life debuts on April 13. Kelley has written juicy books about the Bush family, Nancy Reagan, and Frank Sinatra and many other public figures. In mid-April, mediabistro.com will feature an exclusive Media Beat interview with the biographer about this book. In addition, here’s an old Larry King interview with the author.
