Randy WangHOST
Well, I d- I do have to say, when we went to the debate that we were invited by Julie Watts at Pomona College in lovely Claremont, we all expected to see Katie Porter rip Tom Steyer's head open, and I don't even think she mentioned him.
John PhillipsHOST
No, although Chad Bianco said that she was nasty to the students behind the scenes.
Randy WangHOST
Oh, boy.

And then a couple of other important scholars a- or, uh, scholars who had been in the world of kabuki and became scholars in the United States did work at, one was University of Illinois, and then there was Pomona College, and then there's me at PSU.
Larry KominzGUEST
Unfortunately, we don't have a successor for me, so when I retire, that tradition's gonna come to an end like it has at Pomona and Illinois and Wisconsin.
Larry KominzGUEST
And, you know, I'm hoping that the next generation of young scholars are going to take root somewhere and keep it going because it's nice to have a few colleges that do it.

Daniel RayHOST
If you have ever been under pristine dark skies at night and looked up at the host of stars illuminating the black velvet canopy of the heavens, you intuitively understand that your eyes are beholding something that is otherworldly beautiful.
Daniel RayHOST
Author and former astronomy professor at Pomona College, Dr. Brian Penpraise, in his 2011 book, The Power of Stars, How Celestial Observations Have Shaped Civilization, observes, quote, A clear, dark, starry night brings out intense feelings even in the most sophisticated city dweller.
Daniel RayHOST
These feelings vary among individuals, but for the most part they are intense and connect us to something sublime and transcendent.
Daniel RayHOST
The night sky calls to us, and humans over the years have responded with their star tales, their monuments, their theories, and their observatories with gleaming polished glass and sophisticated instruments." At the conclusion of The Power of Stars, Penpraise suggests, quote, Only by viewing both ancient and modern conceptions together, we can arrive at a more timeless understanding of the universe that can incorporate both the laws of modern physics and the unchanging nature of the human mind as it seeks meaning and morality, for this understanding gives us the true power of stars to fully understand our humanity, end quote.
