Downstairs, the party thrown by his parents to celebrate the occasion continues. Ben's father enters the room to inquire about his son's absence from the festivities. "What are you worried about," asks the elder Braddock, "your future?"
The top-ranked men's basketball team opened its Atlantic Coast Conference season Saturday by slamming the door on the Virginia Cavaliers in rather lopsided fashion.
Her dark eyes focused intently, her voice somber yet unwavering, Lea Rabin recounted before a packed Page Auditorium audience last night how her husband's quest for peace in the Middle East met with such a violent end at a Tel Aviv peace rally in November 1995, and how much the peace process has suffered because of it. But, she avowed with similar conviction, former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin's legacy will help sustain the peace process currently derailed by animosity and mistrust on both the Israeli and Palestinian sides.
As Duke University Police Department investigators continue to probe for leads in the May 31 shooting incident at the Whitford Drive basketball courts, a suspected accomplice entered a guilty plea Friday to a reduced weapons charge-closing one chapter in the case, but still leaving Campus Police without a key piece of the puzzle: the identity of the shooter.
From the black and white photographs that adorn its walls and tell its story down to its old-time soda fountain at the front counter, McDonald's Drug Store on Durham's Ninth Street has a history as rich as the homemade milkshakes for which it is legendary. It's a history that was born some 83 years ago when Angus McDonald first opened the doors to the pharmacy on East Main Street. And it's a history that lives proudly today in owner John McDonald, Angus' son, who has devoted himself to managing the drugstore for the better part of his 76 years.

One week after the Duke University Police Department issued arrest warrants for two suspects in the May 31 shooting incident at the Whitford Drive basketball courts, investigators have eliminated as a suspect the alleged shooter, Jonathan G.

Ignited by the mistaken arrest of a black undergraduate student by two white Duke University Police Department officers in early April, and sustained by a chain of incidents and protests, the issue of race relations on campus has seized the attention of the University and compelled President Nan Keohane to devote "first-order attention" to the problem.
In 1948, a collegiate Jack Matlock, Jr., registered for the first Russian classes ever offered at Duke University. His fascination with Russia arose largely out of his avid interest in its literature and history, and he knew early on that the connection he forged with Russia would last throughout his life-and indeed it has. A half century after he first became captivated as a youth by the works of Dostoevsky, Matlock would help bring an end to the Cold War as the U.S. ambassador to the Soviet Union.
Emil Constantinescu arrived at the University for the 1991-92 academic year as a visiting geology professor from Romania and left, he says, with a firsthand experience with "that democratic spirit which characterizes American academic life."
Never before have one man's Private Parts been so widely revered. But, then again, never before has there been anyone quite like Howard Stern. The self-anointed King of All Media-who already boasts the number one-rated, nationally syndicated radio show-plans to add another jewel to his already well-adorned crown with the release of his cinematic debut this Friday. The crown fits rather nicely-and, in vintage Stern form, he will not mince words in telling you so.
