Financial crisis? What financial crisis? The moment Scott Bommer, CEO of SAB Capital and his wife, Donya, laid eyes on 1060 Fifth Avenue, they knew it had to be the one! Or, rather, the two! Today’s Observer tells us that the couple recently purchased two units in the J. E. R. Carpenter–designed building for $48 million, topping the record for the most money ever paid for a New York City co-op. And, they still have to construct a staircase connecting the two places. But who cares! They’re worth it! And so, says Georgia Shreve, the New Yorker contributor and seller, is the apartment. “It is a beautiful apartment,” she told the paper (Georgia is married to a banker, too, duh!). “Putting in a staircase is no big deal.” Once the staircase is completed, the Bonners will have a sprawling, seventeen-room, seven-bedroom duplex, one block from the Guggenheim and within spitting distance of Central Park. But why go outside when you can simply regard it from your fabulous digs? This place has outdoor space on all four sides of it, including a greenhouse and a south-facing, 114.5-foot-long terrace overlooking the Central Park reservoir. The views notwithstanding, 1060 is a little more modest than some of the other luxury homes on the market — for instance, there’s no gym, room service, or in-house catering by Daniel Boulud — but the building does have a doorman and a concierge, and naturally Scott and Donya will be bringing in their own help. Floor plans for their renovation include a servant’s room, a “formal bar” that the Observer tells us is bigger than their servant’s room — what would they need all that space for, anyway? Brooms? — plus two libraries, two kitchens, and four wood-burning fireplaces, which will be perfect for staying warm in front of when the recessionhits.

Breakout Moves: How Women in Academia Succeed
>> Jennifer Burns: Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you so much for coming out to this live taping of the Hoover Institution's celebration of International Women's Day. I'm Jennifer Burns. I'm an associate professor of history at Stanford and a research fellow at the Hoover Institution. My research focuses on American history and the history of economic thought.
And my most recent book is Milton Friedman, the last conservative. I'm really honored to be here on this panel with such accomplished scholars. What I'm gonna do is introduce briefly each panelist in turn, and then we'll turn to some questions and have a free flowing conversation. And then we do believe there'll be time for audience questions at the end.
So for this to my left, we're joined by Carolyn Hoxby, the Scott and Donia Baumer professor of economics at Stanford University, the director of the economics of education program for the National Bureau of Economic Research, and a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution. Seated next to her is Valerie Ramey, a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution and a research associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research.
She's also professor emeritus at the University of California, San Diego, where she taught for 36 years. And to my left, we have Brandis Keynes Roan, a professor in the political science department at Stanford, a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, and the founding director of the Hoover Institution center for Revitalizing American Institutions.
So I'd like to start off, if I can start with you, Carolyn, if you could tell us just briefly in your own words, about the major problems and questions that you focused on in your career.
>> Caroline M. Hoxby: So I'm an economist of education. That means that I work on every issue that has to do with education and money, basically.
I like to put it that way. So I work on school finance. I work on school choice. I work on pure effec Stanford, CA – Stanford University’s Jay Bhattacharya was awarded the Zimmer Medal, and Brian Conrad was awarded a 2024 Barry Prize, by the American Academy of Sciences and Letters (the Academy). The Zimmer Medal, which honors outstanding courage in the defense of intellectual freedom, was awarded to Sir Salman Rushdie last year. The Barry Prize, which is accompanied by a $50,000 cash award, recognizes intellectual excellence and independence. The awards were conferred last night by Academy President Donald W. Landry of Columbia University and Board Chair Sanjeev R. Kulkarni of Princeton University in a ceremony at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. Four other Stanford scholars were also honored by the Academy last night. Peter Berkowitz, Sir Niall Ferguson, Caroline M. Hoxby, and Barry Stuart Strauss were invested as members of the Academy. In becoming Academy members they join prestigious fellow members including Jon Haidt, Steven Koonin, Josiah Ober, Nicholas Christakis, Akhil Reed Amar, and two Nobel-laureate scientists (chemist Arieh Warshel and biochemist Jennifer Doudna). “Last year we were delighted to honor Sir Salman Rushdie alongside other top minds of our time, and this year we are delighted to honor Jay Bhattacharya and a wonderful group of outstanding scholars,” said Academy PresidentDr. Donald Landry, M.D., Ph.D., who is also the Hamilton Southworth Professor of Medicine at Columbia University. “Like other academies, we honor intellectual excellence, but our Academy is distinguished by a special accent on intellectual courage. All our new members this year reflect the independence of mind we strive to honor.” The Robert J. Zimmer Medal for Intellectual Freedom is presented annually to a public thinker who displays extraordinary courage in the exercise of intellectual freedom.
