In the Feb. 27 column “End Israeli apartheid,” the author systematically defames Israel by invoking tendentious rhetoric and ignoring realities on the ground.
Duke students have always struck me as apolitical. And yet if memory serves correctly, Duke students voted en masse—at about 74 percent, if I recall correctly—for Democratic candidate Barack Obama during my sophomore year. Perhaps it may be time for current Duke students to pause to assess the sagacity of their forebears’ mass votes for messianic “hope and change.”
As presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney seeks to equate President Obama’s policies with the profligate spending of now-bankrupt Western European states, the intellectual debate between free-market capitalism and statism has once again emerged as a frequent discussion point on the campaign trail. Mr. Obama has resorted to a populist message that seeks to paint the GOP as the party of the 1 percent, while Mr. Romney assails the president’s vision of America as an “entitlement society” instead of an “opportunity society.” The two parties offer wildly contrasting visions of moderated redistribution/interventionist policies (Democrats) versus the wild jungle of unadulterated free-market capitalism (Republicans).
Enough talk about Duke’s “Big Three.” It’s time to start talking about the Blue Devils’ new “Core Four.” The rise of center Brian Zoubek has been well-publicized over the past month—the seven-footer has averaged over nine rebounds per game since his 16-point, 17-rebound effort against Maryland Feb. 13. With Zoubek providing a dominant presence on the boards to complement Duke’s high-scoring perimeter attack, the Blue Devils are in good shape to cut down the nets once more this season—this time in Indianapolis April 5.
It was hard to blame this one on the luck of the Irish.
Entering the 2010 season as the consensus No. 2 preseason team, Duke is still seeking an identity.
For once, the best Devils on the course were not wearing blue and white.
