The Republican Chairwoman of the Committee, Virginia Foxx, starts reminding her that there was a student who was actually hit with a stick on campus. There was another gathering more recently glorifying Hamas and other terrorist organizations, and the kind of chants that have become an everyday chorus on campus, which many Jewish students see as threatening. But when the questioning starts, President Shafik is ready. One of the first ones she gets is the one that tripped up her colleagues. They spent months preparing for this hearing. They brought in outside consultants, crisis communicators, experts on anti-Semitism.

Something is not connecting with those two points of view. And as if that’s not hard enough, you then have Congress and the political system with its own agenda coming in and putting its thumb on a scale of an already very difficult situation. My phone blew up, obviously, from the reporters, from the editors, of saying, oh my god, the NYPD is on our campus.
Regular Season
Today’s episode was produced by Sydney Harper, Asthaa Chaturvedi, Olivia Natt, Nina Feldman, and Summer Thomad, with help from Michael Simon Johnson. It was edited by Devon Taylor and Lisa Chow, contains research help by Susan Lee, original music by Marion Lozano and Dan Powell, and was engineered by Chris Wood. Our theme music is by Jim Brunberg and Ben Landsverk of Wonderly. That’s it for “The Daily.” I’m Michael Barbaro. And by that, I mean, this thing that seemed to start at Columbia is literally spreading. So the only way we’re going to be able to move forward is if you will respect our rules and we’ll respect your point of view.

I’m taking steps in good faith to make sure that we restore order to this campus, while allowing people to express themselves freely as well. Although Cass’s friends, including Joni Mitchell, Frank Zappa, and Gram Persons, all lived in the canyon in nearby homes, it was here where they all seemed to rendezvous to share ideas, lyrics, joints, and beds. It became a kind of second home for all and was even the go-to stop for visiting musicians from across the pond like Eric Clapton, The Beatles, Donovan, and Jimmy Page. Here, a young Eric Clapton sits and listens to Joni Mitchell sing, “Urge for Going” as Cass’s daughter Owen looks on.
House On The Rock Attraction
The House on the Rock is a surreal, sometimes nightmarish journey through what feels like a mad man’s strange and obsessive imagination. Construction on the bizarre attraction began when Alex Jordan Jr. decided to built a house atop Deer Shelter Rock on land he didn’t even own at the time. Alex Jordan’s awesome retreat built atop a chimney of rock opened to the public in 1960. During the 1940’s, Alex Jordan discovered a 60-foot chimney of rock in the beautiful Wyoming Valley. It was here he decided to build a house on the sandstone formation called Deer Shelter Rock. Jordan built the house as a weekend retreat and never intended it to be a tourist attraction.
Quarter-acre property a 'whimsical environment'
And these encampments have now started cropping up at universities from coast-to-coast, at Harvard and Yale, but also at University of California, at the University of Texas, at smaller campuses in between. And at each of these institutions, there’s presidents and deans, just like President Shafik at Columbia, who are facing a really difficult set of choices. The University of Texas in Austin this afternoon, we saw protesters physically clashing with police. Nick, if we rewind the clock a few months, we end up at a moment where students at several of the country’s best known universities are protesting Israel’s response to the October 7 attacks, its approach to a war in Gaza.
I think it’s inherently a critique on a political pressure and this congressional pressure that we saw build up against, of course, Claudine Gay at Harvard and Magill at UPenn. And it’s a university on top of all that that has a real history of activism dating back to the 1960s. So when students are recruited or choose to come to Columbia, they’re actively opting into a campus that prides itself on being an activist community. They consider the city and the world, really, like a classroom to Columbia. Well, they remain under investigation by the committee.

A tiny inscription on the ring read, “Marry me” and three weeks later he did. Alexander John Jordan is the man behind the House on the Rock. He used to just sit in quiet corners and watch the faces of visitors, delighted in every eyebrow raise, every smile, every blank stare.
Contains one of the world’s largest fireplaces and a glimpse of some of Alex’s special collections including dolls, suits of armor, antique guns and mechanical banks galore. The Garden of Allah hotel, which was once located at the edge of the canyon and a favorite of many luminaries, was razed in 1959 for a bank branch. Section two can take a solid two hours, if for no other reason than the fact that you’ll be kept busy trying to unsear your brain. Heritage of the Sea — a blimp hangar if empty — houses a 200-foot-long sea creature (a whale?) battling an octopus (maybe?), its edges lined with multi-story levels and maritime memorabilia.
The most recent addition is the "Spirit of Aviation", a collection of large model airplanes in a themed room. Another exhibit, the "Transportation Building", is under construction, but visitors can walk through and view the work in progress. So Shafik’s dilemma here is pretty extraordinary. I think there was obviously a lot of intention in timing those two things.
Those with stamina (and about four hours to kill) can experience the whole shebang for adult/child $30/16. Built atop a lofty stone column, House on the Rock is an extensive collection of one man’s imagination come to life. And now these schools only have a week or two left of classes. But we don’t know when these standoffs are going to end. We don’t know if students are going to leave campus for the summer. Do they hold back, like at Harvard, where there were dramatic videos of students literally running into Harvard yard with tents.
It’s impossible to know how many of Stein’s voters might have voted for Hillary Clinton, but the claim that she cost Clinton the election is at least plausible. The wide variation underscores the problem pollsters face in measuring Kennedy voters. His backers come from both the left and the right and disagree widely on many issues. What most of them share is disaffection from the political system. Disaffected people are inherently hard to poll — they tend not to readily respond to surveys — and hard to predict in terms of turnout. Anita Chabria and David Lauter bring insights into legislation, politics and policy from California and beyond.
