This is CBS, I am the world. I'm John Bachelor. The news arrives at Columbia University has cancelled its main commencement that takes place in the quad

the scene of violence and upset these last days and I welcome Peter Berkowitz of the Hoover Institution writing at

Real Clair Politics about the quad and the upset and the challenge by

students and the question of free speech, first amendment, what is free

speech, what is violence, all these things come back from my youth in the 68-69-70 period,

and I don't remember a certain answer then,

and perhaps there's a better one now.

Peter, a very good evening to you.

Freedom of speech.

Does it include taking lawn furniture and

smashing into Hamilton Hall is that freedom of speech good evening to you

Peter good evening Jan well you've begun with a simple yes or no question and the simple answer is no

smashing furniture and occupying territory is not free speech.

conveying anti-Semitic thoughts with the intention of being provocative.

There we're here into a gray zone and your essay and
