King Chapel clock cover tour and Order of the Tower
Ed Vassar, clock keeper, formed the Order of the Tower to lead tours of the King Chapel clock tower. A 1991 poem behind the door speaks of a billion beats and the metal heart of the college, with current keeper Olshhevsky winding the clock and noting the heartbeat felt in its mechanisms.

Grassley says Trump order lessens urgency for congress
U S Senator Chuck Grassley Iowa says President Trump's executive order to keep families together at the border is a political tactic that reduces congressional pressure for a fix. He cites the 1997 consent decree and backs legislation to keep families together with detention standards while cases proceed. Durbin counterpoints that the decree bars indefinite detention even with families and warns of court fight.
