Open Letter to Duke Alumni and the Durham Community:
In a column published in the The Chronicle on 24 September 2018 and reprinted on 26 September, Eladio Bobadilla attacked the Center for the History of Political Economy at Duke University in a completely irresponsible manner. Using the tactics of innuendo and guilt by association reminiscent of the McCarthy era, he seeks to associate the faculty and fellows of the Center with the despicable forces of bigotry and white supremacy. These scurrilous insinuations would be laughable if they were not so vile. It is hypocritical to group the Center among those for whom “history and truth are reduced to whatever the powerful say they are” when Mr. Bobadilla has himself shown no respect for the truth and has not bothered with the due diligence that one might expect from a professional historian of checking the facts and gathering evidence for his assertions – for example, by visiting the Center and talking to its faculty and fellows and learning something about what they are and what they do. As the senior members of the Center, we are happy for the opportunity to put the facts on the table.

In advance of the performance, Recess' Kevin Lincoln spoke to frontman Hamilton Leithauser about the band's new album Lisbon, getting lumped together with Interpol and whether each record is harder to make than the one that came before.

Happy Days was anything but.
Titus Andronicus will be hitting the Duke Coffeehouse Tuesday Sept. 21, (doors at 8:30 p.m., show at 9:00 p.m., tickets $10 and free with Duke I.D.), touring behind the best album of 2010—their epic The Monitor. I got to speak to frontman Patrick Stickles about pretty much every topic under the sun, including why he's so stoked to come to Duke, his unique lyrical style and some things the human race could work on, if they were so inclined.
