UCLA Chancellor Gene Block has released a letter following the protests around campus in recent days. Block said in his campus message that the community is "reeling from days of violence and division" and that the hope is that "we can return to a place where our students, faculty and staff feel safe and, one day, connected again." Early this morning, Los Angeles police moved in to clear an encampment on UCLA's campus.        A bill to repeal Arizona's near-total ban on abortion is heading to the governor's desk.
