Another week has come and gone. And the investigation of the Duke lacrosse team has not yet yielded charges against those accused of the alleged sexual assault of an NCCU student and mother of two....
Among some of the more interesting national stories, including immigration, the Moussaoui trial or even Rep. Cynthia McKinney's slugging of a member of the Capitol Police, there is the story of Dr....
The official catchphrase for the media whirlwind surrounding the lacrosse controversy, "the perfect storm," has become the perfect way to describe the convoluted meltdown of race, class, gender and...
Before I transferred to Duke, I attended NYU and lived a short distance from Ground Zero. That's probably why I wrote this column-even the aftermath of one "9/11" was one too much to witness. For...
I was impressed when TIME magazine-a mainstream publication-produced a fair and balanced report on global warming as the cover story for its April 3 edition. CNN quickly picked up the story and ran...

So I have been formulating an editorial in my mind for the past three years about our Alma Mater, the song to which only people in the Duke Chorale know the words. In this editorial, I was going to...
