Comments Policy
(1) Comments are moderated, but with the lightest of touches, to exclude only off-topic comments or obviously racist or similar remarks.
(2) My clearing a comment implies neither that I agree nor that I disagree with the comment. My opinion is expressed in my words and my words only. Since this blog has more than 1500 posts, and since I at least occasionally comment myself, the blog provides more than enough material for readers to discern my opinions.
(3) If a reader finds an offensive comment, I urge the reader to e-mail me; if the comment is offensive, I will gladly delete it.
(4) Commenters who either misrepresent their identity or who engage in obvious troll behavior will not have their comments cleared. Troll-like behavior includes, but is not limited to: repeatedly linking to off-topic sites; repeatedly asking questions that already have been answered; offering unsubstantiated remarks whose sole purpose appears to be inflaming other commenters.
- "From the Scottsboro Boys to Clarence Gideon, some of the most memorable legal narratives have been tales of the wrongly accused. Now “Until Proven Innocent,” a new book about the false allegations of rape against three Duke lacrosse players, can join these galvanizing cautionary tales . . , Taylor and Johnson have made a gripping contribution to the literature of the wrongly accused. They remind us of the importance of constitutional checks on prosecutorial abuse. And they emphasize the lesson that Duke callously advised its own students to ignore: if you’re unjustly suspected of any crime, immediately call the best lawyer you can afford."--Jeffrey Rosen, New York Times Book Review

It was originally sumbitted to the Duke Chronicle late last week? Has it been printed anywhere (other than the N&O, yea!) yet? I guess we're assuming it will be published tomorrow in the Chronicle?
What a great thing for the students to come back to - the Econ faculty letter in the Chronicle. That will be a healing, 'make you feel good about your school' thing, unlike the 88's venomous screeds.
Does anybody have any idea why the N&O has turned around in its approach to the Duke case? (This is obviously more of a question for those who believe they've been biased against the lax boys early on). Is there just so much evidence now that they couldn't ignore it without looking like a Twilight Zone paper, or did they get a conscience, or what..?
The group of 88 gets a brief mention in today's Victor Davis Hanson column on universities and the war:

At this point, just about all the major papers editorials have asked for Nifong to recuse himself. The only real exception is the NY Times.
"K.C. Johnson for 2007 Duke Commencement Speaker! It has GOT TO HAPPEN!!!!"
LOL, now there's a great idea! ;>)
Unfortunately and not surprising, Duke won't have KC for its commencement speaker. Many college student groups, though, have alternative commencement speakers that they arrange on their own. Maybe the LAX players and their supporters should arrange for KC to be THEIR commencement speaker.
re: the N&O turnaround
The Raleigh N&O has always been pretty good at investigating "public corruption", so it wasn't hard for them to turn the wheel when the victim narrative reached a dead end.
I think such investigations are really valuable, rah rah for newspapers, but alas the Durham H-S doesn't seem to have the ... drive to do them. Recently a paper exposed problems with Durham's water tests for lead. Guess which one.
