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. And eventually, both of them lose their jobs in a really high profile way. Now, the President of Columbia has what turns out to be a very well-timed, pre-planned trip to go overseas and speak at an international climate conference.

In addition to partnering with Kressley, Ballard Designs is finally expanding to Southern California. While the brand currently has twenty stores nationwide Milanese told me many of the brand's customers are located in Southern California. While online shopping is convenient, current devotees and new customers alike will finally get to experience Ballard in person.

It’s most remembered for the titular character’s lavish parties, though as any good reader of the novel will tell you, the party’s are all razzle dazzle — what really matters is what’s underneath. The pain, the social climbing, the lack of ethics, and the post-war, orgiastic egoism are what the work is really about. Under Bruni’s direction, Kerrigan jerks us through a rotary of locations and corresponding plot events, often leaving dead air as characters zoom away in their on-stage sports cars.

As the musical wraps with a flurry of the novel’s best quotes and the inevitable lesson that the rich are callous and horrible, it’s clear this Gatsby attempts to throw it all at the wall, indulge in more of everything. Nathan Tysen’s lyrics are mostly expositional, trying to fill gaps in the story. Gatsby’s ballad For Her about building his wealth to inevitably net Daisy doesn’t evoke love so much as justification. Though, perhaps, the latest revival of F Scott Fitzgerald’s novel should be renamed The Gimmicky Gatsby. An attempt to evoke awe through hyper-extended dance intervals and flaccid sets, this remount prioritizes a good time over any purposeful recreation of the American classic.

So these students in real-time are beginning to test some of the things that Columbia’s president has just said before Congress. 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. 2023 is already set to be a significant year for Ballard.

And Isabella Ramírez, the editor in chief of Columbia’s undergraduate newspaper, explains what it has all looked like to a student on campus. And on Wednesday, Hamas released a video of Hersh Goldberg-Polin, an Israeli-American dual citizen, whom Hamas has held hostage since October 7. It was the first time that he has been shown alive since his captivity began. His kidnapping was the subject of a “Daily” episode in October that featured his mother, Rachel.

It's the launch of their online home furnishings LOOKBOOK. For any fan of “The Great Gatsby,” though, it’s likely you’ll have moments of wanting more, of missing out on all the subtext, grit, and suffering beneath the sequins. Like “Gatsby,” all of these include a cross-class romance where a poor boy falls for a rich girl, and in several instances his letters get waylaid. Weirdly enough, quite a few musicals this season even heavily feature cars onstage (“Back to the Future,” “The Outsiders,” “Lempicka,” and now “Gatsby”). The Venn diagram memes almost make themselves, and it’s not unreasonable to say that critics and audiences alike are fatigued and desperate for some originality.

In reality, Daisy is as morally bankrupt and selfish as the others, and quite wilfully tosses Gatsby aside when things get complicated. In doing so, they’ve made a devilish bargain, trading the novel’s soul for flashy visuals — and it almost even works. The design team here has pulled out all the stops and achieved something nearly unprecedented in terms of scale and quality. The parties are undeniably flashy, bordering on overstimulating to the senses.

John Zdrojeski as Tom Buchanan, Sara Chase as Myrtle, and Paul Whitty as Wilson are perfectly capable, if somewhat unoriginal. The real issue lies in three of the show’s leads. Noah J. Ricketts, our Nick Carraway, is less a voyeur and more a nonentity, overshadowed by the musical’s grandeur. Samantha Pauly (as Jordan Baker) gives a solid effort, but seems lost in a poorly-written rewrite of her character and trapped in a Barbra Streisand bob wig. As Daisy, Eva Noblezada’s casting goes against type, and though this could have been an exciting change, Noblezada misses the mark entirely. Instead of playing the character’s allure, fragility, and unscrupulousness, she comes off as a fairly generic, slightly bitter ingénue.

But also, as the winter wears on, all the same intense protests just continue unabated. So in many ways, Columbia’s like these other campuses. This is a university that has both one of the largest Jewish student populations of any of its peers.

So instead, the presidents of Harvard, and Penn, and MIT show up. And it turned out to be a disaster for these universities. So the House Education Committee has been watching all these protests on campus. And the Republican Chairwoman decides, I’m going to open an investigation, look at how these administrations are handling it, because it doesn’t look good from where I sit.

The problem with that is that, over the weekend, a series of images start to emerge from on campus and just off of it of some really troubling anti-Semitic episodes. In one case, a guy holds up a poster in the middle of campus and points it towards a group of Jewish students who are counter protesting. And it says, I’m paraphrasing here, Hamas’ next targets. 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. Isabella says that this was just the beginning of a really tense period between student protesters and the University.

While they already offer complimentary design programs, this service will be elevated through the launch of a powerful new 3D decorating tool. It will help customers see what Ballard products will look like in their spaces. In 2010, Ballard launched its first partnership with designer Suzanne Kasler. Two years later, they began to work with renowned interior designer and entertaining expert, Bunny Williams. Ballard still offers several products with Williams from larger pieces such as the Bunny Williams Wood Creek Demilune to smaller decor such as the timeless Barware Pitcher.

Noblezada, fresh off a starring role in Hadestown, is a delicate Daisy, bringing powerhouse vocals when describing her commitment to marriage in For Better or Worse. But ultimately, much of Howland’s music melts together, not quite framing emotional hilltops. The production splashes in excess, but of the Las Vegas residency kind. Golden-lacquered set pieces and a dizzying projection screen recreate the Gatsby mansion (and a bevy of other locations). The “nouveau riche” mansion isn’t as opulent or lush as one might imagine, feeling closer in spirit to a mega-church. Nick happens upon the Gatsby (a talented Jeremy Jordan), who has his sights set on Daisy (Eva Noblezada), his unrequited love.

Please review the episode audio before quoting from this transcript and email with any questions. She means Mendelssohn, the overlooked composer-sister of the famous Felix, and the story that unspools across seven decades is flavoured with the melancholy of lost talent as well as betrayal and broken relationships. In Samuel Adamson’s latest work, two friends reconnect late in life, and what follows is a journey backward and forward through their timeline, exploring the love of music that brought them together and the events that have pushed them apart.
