That reality, that taking a different tack that was supposed to be full of learnings and lessons from the stumbles of her peers, the fact that didn’t really work suggests that there’s something really intractable going on here. And I wonder how you’re thinking about this intractable situation that’s now arrived on these college campuses. And for those students who maybe couldn’t go back to — into campus, now all of their peers, who were supporters or are in solidarity, are — in some sense, it’s further emboldened. They’re now not just sitting on the lawns for a pro-Palestinian cause, but also for the students, who have endured quite a lot. And there was no clearer embodiment of that than what had happened that morning just as President Shafik was going to testify before Congress. They were asked very pointed questions about the kind of speech taking place on their campuses, and they gave really convoluted academic answers back that just baffled the committee.
Columbia University is at the center of a growing showdown over the war in Gaza and the limits of free speech.
Designed with elements of an Asian hillside and pond garden. Measles cases have been relatively low in Wisconsin in recent years, but this year, there’s been a spike nationally with 125 cases reported. Ozzy and his family lived here in the 90’s and early 00’s. In the Late 60’s, Robbie Krieger and John Densmore lived here. "This is definitely the exact kind of house where you would dream," Gambino said in an interview with USA TODAY. "It's a very special house where people immediately get, you know, emotionally connected when they're there."
Frank Zappa’s House In Laurel Canyon
There’s a sizable parking lot, so you’ll be able to find easy parking unless you come on a very busy day. Jordan finally opened the House to visitors in 1960, charging 50 cents admission. Over time, the Wisconsin attraction has grown to receive more than a million visitors annually. He started by renting the land around the rock, eventually buying the 240-acre property with help from his parents. Alex Jordan Jr. built most of the original house himself, using materials he personally carried up the 60-foot rock hill. As of the 2024 season, daily hours run from 9 to 5.

What it seemed to evoke was the message that Hamas should murder those Jewish students. That’s the way the Jewish students interpreted it. Nick, Isabella Ramírez just walked us through what this has all looked like from the perspective of a Columbia student. And from what she could tell, the crackdown ordered by President Shafik did not quell much of anything. It seemed, instead, to really intensify everything on campus.

Come visit us soon - you will be glad you did. The days of operation of the House on the Rocks vary throughout the year. It is closed from the start of January to early March, when the spring opening days start (open Thursday to Monday and closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays). The house is open daily in the summer (from May to September), but reduced days apply again in fall and during the Christmas season.
And President Shafik sits at the witness stand with two of her trustees and the head of Columbia’s new anti-Semitism task force. But presumably, she is well aware of exactly what testifying before this committee entails and is highly prepared. And as you’ve hinted at, for somewhat peculiar scheduling reasons, Columbia’s President escapes this disaster of a hearing in what has to be regarded as the best timing in the history of the American Academy. Members of Congress start calling for their resignations. Trustees of the University start to wonder, I don’t know that these leaders really have got this under control.
Which side does Kennedy hurt?
After you’ve seen all the Attraction has to offer, you’re just a short distance from comfortable lodging. The House on the Rock Resort offers a complete destination experience that combines 27 holes of championship golf, a spa, dining and comfortable 2 room suites. Laurel Canyon began attracting Hollywood luminaries in the early 1920s when it was viewed as a remote, private location in the hills. By the 1950s it became the home of hippest actors in Hollywood, including Marlon Brando, James Dean, and Dennis Hopper. But it was Natalie Wood’s Laurel Canyon house that would solidify the long lineage of Hollywood and counter culture heavyweight’s addresses changing hands that persists to this day.
Having the encampment happen on the Wednesday morning of the hearing was an incredible, in some senses, interesting strategy to direct eyes to different places. After the break, what all of this has looked like to a student on Columbia’s campus. So Columbia’s president has passed this test before this committee.
The "House" and its surrounding warehouses take several hours to walk through, even at a brisk pace. Unlike a museum, there aren't clearly marked ways to visit the sections you have interests in—you are on a set path through the entire collection of collections. Many collections have no labeling because they were previously labeled originals when in fact they are reproductions. If you are sensitive to dust and/or musty conditions, a visit here will set your senses on edge. The House on the Rock offers different experiences depending on the time of year.
If you happen to stop in on the first Saturday of any month, be sure to order the prime rib buffet. Deeply reported insights into legislation, politics and policy from Sacramento, Washington and beyond. By contrast, Biden, who won 51% of the vote last time, knows that Trump’s core vote is solid. Rather than try to chip away at Trump’s total, his goal has to be to get past him. Trump’s campaign isn’t premised on winning a majority, something a Republican has managed only once in the past eight presidential elections, (George W. Bush in 2004). Democrats have also zeroed in on Kennedy’s equivocal statements on abortion, including one in August in which he said he would sign a national ban on abortions after 15 weeks.
Make a pit stop at this 5,300-acre park and leisurely walk down the half-mile trail to Stephens Falls. If you want to spend some time outside, take the day to explore the nearly 40 miles of hiking trails or have a swim at one of the park’s two lakes. As one of the country’s most popular outdoor classical theaters, this Shakespearean troupe offers five rotating plays during the summer months. Arrive early and grill on-site at the theater’s picnic area before you head up the hill for a top-notch production under the stars. Tackle the challenging bluff trails or stroll the easier routes to visit the park’s restored shot tower and melting house that from 1832 to 1860 were used to manufacture lead shot. The stunning panoramic views of the Wisconsin River Valley are only the cherry on top of this state park.
