>My first journalism professor said one thing you are going to need in this business is a 100% foolproof BS detector, because you are going to run into lots of it. The powers that be want to write history in their own words. To me that case involving a bunch of entitled Dukies and their equally entitled parents was a good example.

Mike, my first boss once told me (jokingly), "Never let the facts get in the way of a good story". :)

Just because the 3 Duke Lacrosse players were a bunch of rich kids who went to beer parties and adult entertainment clubs - it doesn't make them criminals.

You can believe what you want, but you're doing so against a substantial tide of evidence.

If anyone was trying to "write history in their own words", it was Nifong. And he got disbarred (and prosecuting attorneys don't get disbarred very often)
