As of April 1, junior Alex Apple will take over as the Duke University Union’s 51st president.

Apple was selected by the Union board Sunday afternoon to take the reins from outgoing president, senior Chris Kallmeyer.

The Union is the University’s primary student programming group on campus.

It is responsible for overseeing such projects as Broadway at Duke, the ‘Dillo Concert Series, Major Speakers Series, Springternational and Cable 13.

“I’m very confident in his ability to lead the Union,” Kallmeyer said of his successor. “Alex has an overriding passion for the Union and campus life. He’s shown that in every activity he’s been in for the last three years.”

In a battle of the two remaining unbeaten teams in women’s college basketball, North Carolina raced back from a 13-point halftime deficit and defeated Duke, 74-70, Sunday night in Cameron Indoor Stadium.

Six days after thumping then-undefeated and No. 1 Tennessee, the Blue Devils (20-1) looked to be on UNC 74 pace to do the DUKE 70 same to the Tar Heels (20-0). But Duke could not stop North Carolina for the fourth consecutive time the rivals have met.

North Carolina scored on 14 ofits final 16 possessions, erasing what was still a 12point Duke lead with just over nine minutes to play. The Tar Heels outscored the Blue Devils 28-12 over that decisive period.

“Our backs were against the wall and we had to produce,” North Carolina head coach Sylvia Hatchell said. “We’d been holding out until we had to turn it on, and we turned it on at the end.”

Two made free throws by Erlana Larkins with three minutes to play gave UNC its first lead of the game—one it would not relinquish—at 66-64. Reserve guard Alex Miller followed on the next possession by beating Duke guard Abby Waner off the dribble and finishing with a layup to push North Carolina’s lead to four.

After a turnover by each team, senior Monique Currie drilled a step-back threepointer to close the margin to just one with a minute and a half to go. But that was as SEE W. BBALL ON SW PAGE 5

OIT plans to give 1,100 iPods to students enrolled in the 42 classes requiring iPods this semester.

Of those devices, roughly 60 percent are fourth-generation photo iPods, and 40 percent are fifth-generation video iPods. Both models are among the latest in iPod innovations.

By 5 p.m. last Friday, OIT had provided 750 students with new iPods—approximately 40 of which were the result of a trade-in for an upgraded model.

Roadside bomb injures Woodruff by

David Balder

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK

ABC “World News

Tonight” co-anchor Bob Woodruff and a cameraman were seriously injured Sunday when the Iraqi Army vehicle they were traveling in was attacked with an explosive device.

Both journalists suffered head injuries, and Woodruff also has broken bones. They were in stable condition following surgery at a U.S. military hospital in Iraq, and were being evacuated to medical facilities in Germany, ABC News President David Westin said Sunday night.

“We take this as good news, but the next

few days will be critical,” Westin said.

Woodruff and Doug Vogt, an award-winning cameraman, were embedded with the 4th Infantry Division and traveling in a convoy with U.S. and Iraqi troops near Taji, about 12 miles north of Baghdad.

They were wearing body armor and helmets but were standing up in the hatch of the mechanized vehicle when the device exploded, exposing them to shrapnel. An Iraqi solder was also hurt in the explosion.

ABC said the men were in the Iraqi vehicle—considered less secure than U.S. military equipment—to get the perspective of the Iraqi military. They were aware the Iraqi forces are the frequent targets of in-

surgent attacks, the network said.

ABC reported senior producer Kate Felsen had been working with Woodruff for the past two weeks.

“He wanted to get out and report the story and not be locked in and taking information from someone else who was experiencing it,” Felsen said.

She said she spoke with Woodruff and Vogt after the attack.

“Doug was conscious, and I was able to reassure him we were getting them care. I spoke to Bob also and walked with them to the helicopter,” Felsen said.

BAGHDAD, Iraq Saddam Hussein’s trial turned chaotic shortly after resuming Sunday, with one defendant dragged out of court and the defense team walking out in protest. The former Iraqi leader was then escorted from the room minutes after shouting “down with America!”

Seeking to assert tight control, the new chief judge Raouf Abdel-Rahman pressed ahead with the proceedings even after the opening drama, hearing three prosecution witnesses before adjourning the trial after 4 1/2 hours.

Abdel-Rahman said the trial will continue Wednesday or Thursday, depending on the date of the Islamic new year, which is set according to the sighting of a new moon.

Abdel-Rahman was installed as chief judge after his predecessor resigned amid complaints he was not doing enough to rein in Saddam’s frequent courtroom outbursts.

Defense lawyers said the stormy session showed the trial was not fair—a vital concern in a nation that is trying toreconcile its SunniArab minority, which dominated Iraq under Saddam, and the Shiite Muslim majority that now controls the government.

Clark, who is part of Saddam’s defense team but did not attend Sunday’s session, denounced the court as “lawless” and repeated calls for it to be moved out of Iraq.

“Now the court is seated without the defendants’ counsel of choice. This is wrong.

They have the right to their own counsel and for that counsel to hear and question testimony made against the defendants,” Clark said, speaking from New York.

Saddam and his seven co-defendants are charged in the deaths of about 140 Shiite Muslims following an assassination attempt against the former Iraqi leader in the Shiite town of Dujail in 1982.

An apartment on Central Campus was broken into byway of an unlocked door sometime Saturday morning after 2:30 a.m. Several personal belongings were taken from the Erwin Road residence, where one of the occupants was sleeping.

No one was harmed in the break in.

The apartment was unlocked, giving easy access to the belongings.

“Most crime on the Duke campus are

Despite having what some call shaky town-gown relations, the University is committing itself to local outreach by continuing its annual fundraising effort through the Duke-Durham Campaign.

The fifth annual fundraiser kicked off Thursday with a small celebration outside the new Emily Krzyzewski Family Life Center on Burch Avenue near campus.

The campaign aims to raise $350,000 to benefit community programs in education, youth mentoring, healthcare and housing.

It has already secured $150,000 in donations and pledges. Officials plan to raise the remainder of the funds over the next few months through support from local businesses and individuals.

Duke has been a main force in the initiative, explained John Bumess, senior vice president for public affairs and government relations. But volunteers from Durham play a key role, he added.

“We staff it, but it’s the volunteerleaders in the community that raise the money,” Bumess said.

The campaign, which began under former President Nan Keohane, also raises funds for the Duke-Durham Neighborhood Partnership. The partnership has improved education, housing and healthcare programs in 12 neighborhoods surrounding campus, Bumess noted. “We’re working with some really low-wealth areas,” Burness said. We’re trying to be as supportive

as we can in improving the quality oflife for people in those communities.”

President Richard Brodhead, like his predecessor, has shown strong support for the campaign and an intention to push for its growth in the coming years.

“I rejoice in the Duke-Durham Neighborhood Partnership thatMayor [Bill] Bell and President Keohane did so much to further, and I pledge to carry this partnership to new heights,” Brodhead said in his inaugural address in the fall of 2004.

Although the campaign has operated consistently year after year, fundraising efforts have improved steadily.

“Each one seems to set a new record,” Bumess said of the annual campaigns.

Since raising $74,450 in its inaugural year, the fundraising goals of the campaign have grown significantly—to nearly $360,000 in 2005. Campaign officials said they are optimistic about this year’s campaign and pleased with its initial gains.

Volunteer efforts in the coming weeks and months, however, will determine the campaign’s ultimate success.

Victoria Ward THE CHRONICLE

CHAPEL HILL Students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have a new take on tenting.

Shortly after 4 p.m. last Friday, 11 students began competing in the second annual “Hands on a Duke Ticket” contest, organized by the student group Keeping Recreational Activities New and Creative.

The competitors must keep one hand on a table at all times while standing under a tent in the Pit, a main social area on campus. The last person standing wins two riser tickets to the Duke-Carolina men’s basketball game at the Dean Dome Tuesday February 7.

The contest ended Sunday night after 53 hours, 38 minutes and 38 seconds.

The final two contestants, senior Naresh Sundaresan and junior Jordan Todd, negotiated to split the tickets.

“I’ve always been a huge Carolina basketball fan,” Sundaresan said. “It was worth my time and effort to get the basketball tickets.”

Todd participated in the contest last year but accidentally picked his hand up while playing poker—thus lasting only 15 hours in the competition. 11 ! felt I had to vindicate myself from last year,” he said. “I wanted to prove to myself that I could last.”

His tactics included listening to his iPod and trying not to focus on anything but the contest.

Sundaresan said he did not expect it to be as challenging as ifwas in the beginning. “It was a good experience,” he added at the end of the contest. “It’s something I can say I did.”

Researchers at the Duke University Medical Center are studying the effects ofheat on cancer cells.

Turns out that microwaves on campus can do more than make Easy Mac—and the National Cancer Institute agrees.

Researchers at the Duke University Medical Center recently received an additional $ 19-million grant to continue studying the efficacy of treating cancer with heat.

The program represents the only federally funded hyperthermia research program in the United States. The research aims to refine the methods of delivering heat to cancer tissue.

Dr. Mark Dewhirst, professor of radiation oncology and director of the hyperthermia program, initiated the research program 19 years ago. His experiments and results show that heat, combined with other treatments such as chemotherapy, can shrink and destroy tumors.

helping patients with many kinds of locally advanced diseases,” Dewhirst said.

Experiments have shown that the application of heat to a tumor in addition to conventional treatments can increase drug uptake and help shrink tumors.

The heating of tissue is accomplished by using directed microwaves, Dewhirst said. It both inhibits the ability of cells to repair damage and impairs the oxygenation of the tumor—a protective feature.

One of the most promising applications that Dewhirst and his team have designed is a heat-sensitive liposome that delivers a drug to a targeted, heated region of the body. The liposome, a biological locket of sorts, melts when exposed to a certain temperature and becomes leaky, delivering the drug it contains.

Mayor requests funds to battle crime Durham Mayor Bill Bell called on the city staff Friday to make crime-fighting the city’s top spending priority for the next year.

The statement comes about two weeks after Bell’s State of City address, in which he challenged Durham to rededicate itself to fighting violent crime and its causes. During the speech he cited drugs, guns and a lack of economic opportunity for those clinging to the lowest rungs of society.

His words Friday were answered with enthusiastic applause from members of the City Council, the police chief and high-ranking city staffers. j Overall, the city’s violent crime—including homicides, rapes and robberies—has increased (?.7 percent over the last six months.

As parts ofhis plan to reduce crime, Bell has suggested increasing the size of the city’s summer jobs program for youths considered at-risk, encouraging local businesses to hire ex-felons seeking fresh starts, hiring more police officers, paying city employees to mentor children and expediting the construction of new community centers and recreational facilities to be built with the $llO million in bonds approved by voters in November.

Durham police said someone reported seeing Murray near the Chownings Street home of Gina Ambrosecchia about 10:20 p.m. Wednesday. Murray was taken into custody Thursday morning and was being held with his bail set at $1 million.

The arrest came a week after Murray, 57, pleaded guilty in a Durham court to two counts of violating a domestic violence protective order taken out by Ambrosecchia.

Bond vote on school funding may come early Because Durham Public Schools will likely be at least 120 percent of capacity in three years, a bond referendum planned for 2009 may come as soon as the fall of 2007.

The referendum would be the third for school construction bonds in the last ten years.

In 2003, voters approved a $lO5 million school-bond issue for construction, renovation and land acquisition.

In 1991, voters approved $125 million in bonds for school construction by the then-separate city and county systems.

The two systems were merged to create DPS in 1992.

Durham’s jobless rate was 4.3 percent in November.

December was also the fifth straight month that Durham’s unemployment rate dropped.

Thornton added thattrade-in iPods become the property of the University so they will not be offered for sale to individuals at a discounted price.

OIT will also give trade-in iPods to instructors who are considering using the technology in their classrooms. Instructors will be able to experiment with the devices “to see what aspects of the course can be enhanced by the use of iPods,” Thornton said.

OIT plans to distribute other trade-in units to various IT support staff to assist faculty with creating course content and academic initiatives coordinated through the Center for Instructional Technology.

Since Duke and Apple signed a nondisclosure agreement forbidding either party from discussing the financial aspects of the DDI, officials cannot comment on how the trade-in policy is affecting the University financially. “No extra fees are being collected from students to fund the DDI,” Menzies said, adding that

the funding for DDI was set aside in the University’s last strategic plan, “Building on Excellence,” which expires this year.

OIT is coordinating with the Registrar to obtain a list of the

undergraduates’

names who traded in their old iPods and then dropped classes designated to use the new ones. OIT will notify each individual by e-mail to return the iPod. If they do not turn them in, students will have to pay Bursar charges for the amount of the units, many of which range from between $2OO and $3OO. Sophomore Isel del Valle said she finds the University’s plans for her audio iPod—which she plans on exchanging for a photo iPod this semester—beneficial to future students. “It allows the iPod project to reach more people because if professors are allowed to experiment, more might decide to use them in their classes,” del Valle said.

Other students, such as sophomore Meagan Gray, said they also approve of the concept of loaner iPods. “It would be useful because when I sent mine to get fixed during the summer, the loaner pool had run out, and I didn’t have an iPod to use,” Gray said.

His ideas for accomplishing the two goals include revitalizing the 12 umbrella committees that constitute the Union. “[I want to] increase the kind of programming of each committee and make each committee more robust,” he said.

Although the Union has previously sponsored such major acts as Ludacris, Pat McGee Band and The Roots, Apple said there are no shows in particular that he would like to see come to Duke.

Chen and his peers currently occupy Tent 10, which consists of two queen-sized air beds and a table with a dozen or so cans ofMiller GenuineDraft.

Since that first night, however, the party scene has died down a bit, Chen said.

“We had no problems at all,” he said. “We’re all responsible drinkers, I guess.”

Chen has a theory on the seemingly low-key party scene in K-ville.

Since the student body returned to campus three weeks ago, many freshmen have been caught up with SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE the back-to-back events for fraternity and sorority recruitment. tents to When they are not socializing or revving up for a game,K-ville residents hole up in their avoid the often bitter cold. “[The party scene] hasn’t been hardcore yet,” Chen said. “It’ll pick up when rush dies down.”

Most tents consist offirst-timers and groups offriends.

For others, like those in Tents 1 and 2, several members of the groups became friends after bonding during the chilly winter nights.

Cools admits that although living in K-ville is a fun experience with his friends from Blackwell Dormitory, there are bound to be problems along the way.

“There’s always a little bit of drama with who’s not pulling their weight,” he said. “We had a few people leave because they couldn’t handle it, or they were sick.”

Despite the hardships, there are still many perks to living in the swampy grass in front of Cameron.

Just a few nights ago, men’s basketball head coach Mike Krzyzewski came out to brace the chilly weather with the students. He came bearing gifts of Rice Krispy treats and pizza.

Several basketball players are known to stroll around Kville as well.

And through it all—the cold, the frustrations, the partying and the camaraderie—there is still only one goal in the minds of the Cameron Crazies smeared with paint and blue hairspray.

“We’re going to be in the front row for the Carolina game,” Rush said. “Of course it’s worth it.”

Andrew Yaffe

THE CHRONICLE

Two of the nation’s best point guards battled Sunday night to show who plays for the country’s best team.

Even though Duke and Lindsey Harding controlled the game for 30 minutes, North Carolina’s Ivory Latta made the plays when it counted and helped keep her (131116 team undefeated with its analysis 74-70 victory.

“They played a great t second half,” Duke head coach Gail Goestenkors said of the Tar Heels. “I thought they were the aggressors... particularly in the second half. They certainly deserve the win.”

Entering the game, much of the talk revolved around the point guard matchup of Harding and Latta. Last season, when Harding was suspended, Latta tore the Blue Devils apart in three games, averaging 20.7 points in three Tar Heel wins.

In the first half Sunday, Harding seemed to make difference, pestering Latta all over the court and holding her to seven points, despite Latta’s buzzer-beating three-pointer. But Latta came back strong in the second half with 10 points and five assists and turned the ball over just once in the period, leading her team to victory. .Riding Latta’s play, the Tar Heels dismantled Duke’s defense in the second half.

She, along with the rest ofNorth Carolina’s guards, beat the Duke defenders off the dribble repeatedly and found open post players underneath for layups. Sophomore Erlana Larkins had 17 ofher game-high 23 points in the second half.

“We didn’t stop their penetration—they broke us down,” Goestenkors said. “Either the guards scored or they drew help from our post players and dumped it down for easy lay-ins.”

A lot of credit has to be given to North Carolina and Latta especially for breaking down Duke and getting to the basket late in the game. Latta proved again why many consider her the nation’s top point guard and why North Carolina holds a huge advantage over Duke.

But some questions should arise about the Blue Devil defense. Freshman Abby Waner looked lost on the perimeter at times. Tar Heel reserve guard Alex Miller .

The women’s tennis team notched another impressive road victory Sunday on its way to the National Team Indoors.

No. 14 Duke (2-0) rolled over No. 32 Indiana (3-1), 6-1, in Bloomington, Ind. In addition to DUKE recording its secINDIANA I 1 ond consecutive victory over a ranked opponent,. the Blue Devils utilized the match as a useful tuneup for the National Team Indoors, which start Thursday in Madison, Wise.

Duke will look for its second dtle at the elite 16-team tournament, which it won in 2003.

“The courts at Indiana are faster than any we see all year except for Madison,” head coach Jamie Ashworth said. “So I think it was a really good warmup for us.”

The Blue Devils jumped on the Hoosiers early by sweeping the three doubles matches and earning the crucial doubles point.

“I think when people see our lineup, it puts a lot of pressure on them knowing they have to win four singles matches,” Ashworth said.

“Beating us in four singles matches is really tough the way we are playing in singles. We know we can win at least three against anyone in the country.”

The trip to Bloomington was the second offour road weekends to start the season —Duke does not have a home match until Feb. 26.

Ashworth said despite the lack of crowd support, there are advantages to traveling away from Durham.

“Historically we’ve played better on the road, I think because there are a lot more things you can control on the road,” Ashworth said.

“The girls would rather play at Duke, but as a coach, it makes it a little bit easier to be able to control things like meal times and sleeping arrangements.”

Blue Devils down Old Dominion in season opener by

Peter Henle

THE CHRONICLE

The Duke men’s tennis team began its spring dual-match season in style Sunday night, notching a 7-0 win over No. 66 Old

Dominion.

The No. 8 Blue Devils (TO) looked solid from top to

ODU DUKE

bottom, dropping only one set be-

tween their three doubles and six singles matches. Despite the score, the Monarchs (5-1), who had won their first five dual matches of the season against unranked opponents, gave Duke’s top four singles players tough matches.

“I thought we played with a lot of energy for our first match of the season,” head coach Jay Lapidus said. “Old Dominion is a great team, and their top four players are a challenge for us. It was good that they pushed us in some spots so that we can see where we are as a team.”

At the second singles position, Jonathan Stokke, who is ranked 20th nationally, was taken to three sets before pulling out a 6-3, 3-6, 6-2 victory that completed the sweep of the Monarchs.

At the third spot, junior Joey Atas knocked off 90th-ranked Eidy Igarashi in straight sets. After taking the first set easily, Atas batded through a contested second set to capture the tiebreaker, sealing a 6-2, 7-6 (5) victory.

Senior Ludovic Walter, the ninthranked player in the nation, struggled in the second set before grinding out the 6-2, 7-5 victory over unranked Hard Srugo at

the top singles position The Blue Devils had an easier time at the No. 5 and No. 6 singles positions, as well as in doubles action. At the sixth singles spot, freshman Kiril Dimitrov cruised to a 6-3, 6-2 victory in his first collegiate singles match in a dual meet, and senior Chris Brown followed suit at the No. 5 position with a commanding 6-1, 6-1 win.

Perhaps the most impressive win of the night was an 8-0 thrashing at the No. 2 doubles position by Walter and Atas over Old Dominion’s 33rd-ranked doubles team.

Duke’s third doubles pair followed the dominating win with an impressive showing of their own to secure the doubles point. The duo of sophomore Ned Samuelson and junior Peter Rodrigues took down their Monarch opponents, 8-4, and the Blue Devils’ top pair ofStokke and senior Stephen Amritraj finished off the doubles sweep with a tight 9-8 (3) victory.

The depth shown in the blowout win Sunday may prove pivotal as the Blue Devils face tougher opposition in the coming weeks.

“We’re strong down low—we’re pretty deep,” Lapidus said. “It was a good win to get feeling positive about things and get on track.”

The Blue Devils will take on No. 4 Illinois at home Friday and will play host to No. 26 Notre Dame Sunday. Duke lost to the Illini, 5-2, last year in Champaign, but defeated the Fighting Irish, 6-1, in South Bend last season.

“Our schedule gets tough. We have Notre Dame and Illinois next and both are real good teams,” Lapidus said'.

MEN'S BASKETBALL

Redick nails 8 threes in dominant performance by

Patrick Byrnes THE CHRONICLE

Through Duke’s first 20 games this season, shoodng guard JJ. Redick has only twice attempted fewer shots than he did in Saturday night’s win over Virginia.

In the first of contests, those q<HT]a Redick played analysis only 27 minutes as the Blue Devils destroyed Seton Hall Nov. 16 and had put the game out ofreach by halftime.

The other came when Duke topped Memphis in the finals of the NIT Season Tip-Off, and Redick was held scoreless in the second half.

Against Virginia, however, the senior had his most efficient game as a Blue Devil, racking up 40 points while taking a mere 13 shots from the field. Redick twice scored 41 points this season, but needed 24 shots to get there in each of those contests.

“I’ve never really seen this here at Duke, where with 13 shots, you get 40 points,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “It was just an incredible performance.”

Redick finished the game an amazing 11-for-13 from the field, including an 8-for-10 performance from beyond the arc. Redick found similar success from the free-throw line, missing just one ofhis 11 attempts.

All but three of Redick’s baskets came from behind the arc, and with his 10 made freethrows, the senior finished the game with a ridiculous 3.1 points per shot attempted.

“I have a feeling before every game that it’s going to be a good shooting night,” Redick said. “It doesn’t always work out that way for me though. Tonight, I think the key was for me to get off to a good start and hit my first couple of shots.”

The senior converted his first five attempts and did not miss a shot until there was only 5:07 remaining in the first half and he had already notched 14 points.

Redick atoned for the rare miss,

however, corralling the offensive rebound and driving to the hoop to finish a difficult layup.

The basket gave the Blue Devils a 17-point lead and at that point Redick enjoyed a 16-14 advantage over the Cavaliers. Virginia head coach Dave Leitao called a timeout during his team’s next possession and the Cameron Crazies erupted into a “J.J.’s winning” cheer. In fact, it was well into the second half before the Cavaliers held a significant advantage over the sharpshooter.

‘JJ. had one of the great performances here,” Krzyzewski said.

“He hit the rim more on his free throws than he did on his threepoint shots.”

All of Redick’s free-throws came in the second half, and his miss on the front end of a oneand-one was the only blemish on an otherwise perfect half—4-for-4 from deep and 5-for-5 overall.

Redick’s most impressive make came on his lone basket from inside the arc. With less than 10 minutes to play, he drilled a fadeaway jumperjust outside the paint as he was falling out ofbounds.

Redick has always been known as a deadly shooter, and his performance Saturday is all the more astounding when considering the fact that his 84.6 shooting percentage topped his career best of 80 percent. During his freshman season, Redick went 8for-10 from the field as he dropped 26 points on Dayton.

With his third 40-point game of the season, Redick improved his scoring average to 27.8 points per game, and he is on pace to surpass Duke’s single-season record of 26.1 points per game, set in 1967 by Bob Verga.

“I think what [Redick] is doing this season, I think all of us—players, coaches, media in particular—should really savor,” Leitao said.

“He’s having, not only a career year, but particularly this season, a year for die ages. I’ve watched it, I’ve studied it on film, and now I saw it in person. He understands the game ofbasketball for what he TIAN, QINZHENG/THE CHRONICLE is as a player more than anybody I’ve seen in a long time.”

JJ. Redick, who passed Mike Gminski on Duke's scoring list, missed just two shots on the way to his third 40-point game of the season.

news&notes

from Saturday's UVa game

Moving up the Blue Devil scoring charts JJ.

Senior Shelden Williams blocked eight shots Saturday, two shy of recording his second triple-double of the season.

Redick’s 40-point performance moved him past former Duke big man Mike Gminski and into third place on Duke’s all-time points chart. He is also the sixth-leading scorer in the history of the ACC. The senior now has 2,360 points for his career, which trails Christian Laettner, who is in second place, by 100 points.

It was also his third game this season—and first at Cameron—in which he scored at least 40 points, which des Dick Groat for most 40-point games in both a season and a career.

“He’s off the charts with focus arid commitment,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “Nobody has had more or done it better here. Some kids have done it equal, but he’s there with any guy. He’s one of the truly great players to play in this conference. Of all time, this kid’s a treasure. That’s part of learning every year, not being satisfied with where you’re at. He’s a believer, and he’s full ofcommitment.”

His extraordinary success this season has happened for a reason, and he is a model for Duke’s younger players, Krzyzewski added.

“He plays every play in practice hard, and that’s the

best way to stay in shape,” Krzyzewski said. “He keeps putting himself in the positions you would put yourself in a ballgame, and so he doesn’t have any lax time in a practice. Really, he doesn’t sub out. We give our guys a chance, we get six white shirts orseven white shirts against blue or four-on-four, and he never subs out—ever.

“Usually the great players practice hard. All of the guys who have had their jerseys retired here or have been National Players of the Year, they’ve been great practice players.

He’s a great practice player, and so is Shelden [Williams].

Shelden’s the same way. He does not sub out in anything.”

Williams nearly notches 2nd triple-double

Williams came two blocks shy of recording his second triple-double in the past six games and his 10 rebounds moved him past former Blue Devil Randy Denton and into third place in Duke history.

‘You’re talking about one of the most prolific shot blockers and intimidators that the ACC has ever seen,” Vir-

ginia head coach Dave Leitao said. “In order to go up to be creative. You can’t

against a guy like that, you have just lay the ball up.”

close as the Blue Devils would get.

“We knew that they could go on a run,” Currie said. “Coach G always says that games have a lot of runs, and we were expecting them to come back.”

North Carolina needed the late-game spurt because it dug itself a deep hole in the first half, going into halftime down 4027. The Tar Heels were actually down by 16—theirlargest deficit of the season—beforejunior guard Ivory Latta, who finished with 17 points in 40 minutes, nailed a long three-pointer in the half s final minute.

No Duke player scored more than seven points in the first half, but Lindsey Harding dished out six assists, and the team outrebounded UNC by 10 in the period. The Blue Devils also forced 12 Tar Heel turnovers.

But Duke’s defense broke down after the teams re-emerged from their locker rooms, allowing North Carolina to cut the lead down to six with an 114 run to open the second. Larkins, a 6-foot-l Tar Heel forward, nailed her second and third three-pointers of the season over a span of three possessions when the Blue Devils left her wide open at the top of the key.

North Carolina only turned the ball over twice during the second half and was able to use the extra possessions to break down Duke’s defense off the dribble.

“I thought they played a really good game, but they played a great second half,” head coach Gail Goestenkors said. “I thought they were the aggressor on both ends of the floor.”

Duke, however, still had plenty ofopportunities to win the game. The team hit just 1l-for-23 free throws on the game. Harding missed the front end of a one-and-one with just under three minutes to play and Mistie Williams—Duke’s leading scorer with 16— missed her second with five seconds to go and the chance to close the gap to one.

Williams nearly made the shot on which she was fouled, but the potentially game-tying three-point play did not materialize. The Blue Devils could not come up with the rebound off Williams’ miss. Fit-

beat her to the basket, delivering a crucial bucket with less than three minutes remaining that stretched the Tar Heel lead to four points. And Harding, normally a defensive stopper, became less effective toward the end of the game, in which she played a full 40 minutes. Eventually, Latta—one of the nation’s quickest and most active players—wore her down at both ends of the court.

For much of the season, the Blue Devils have relied on as many as 12 players, but in the last two games, fewer have seen action. Though it was not a factor in Monday’s blowout victory over No. 1 Tennessee, Duke seemed to tire down the stretch Sunday, and the Tar Heels were able to take advantage.

“I thought we were more fresh than Duke,” North Carolina head coach Sylvia Hatchell said. “I thought Duke look tired in the last few minutes, and we were playing with emotion.”

M. BBALL from TC page 1 first half was huge,” Krzyzewski said.

“From that last TV timeout, they totally outplayed us and got themselves back in, but [Williams’ basket] gave us a little bit of momentum.”

In the end, the Blue Devils were simply too much for the Cavaliers. On the

defensive end, Williams’ eight blocks and Sean Dockery’s five steals overwhelmed Virginia. The Cavaliers’ guards also could not match Greg Paulus’ eight-assist effort. But above all, Virginia had no answer for J.J. Redick.

The Roanoke, Va. native shot a careerbest percentage —making 11-of-13 shots for his third-career 40-point effort. The National Player of the Year candidate made his first five attempts.

Dockery set the defensive tone for Duke early by stealing the ball from Sean Singletary three times in the first four minutes. The senior visibly frustrated the Virginia star, helping to hold him to just 13 points—five below his season average.

“Obviously the game got away from us a little bit early,” Virginia head coach Dave Leitao said. “I thought that Dockery had a lot to do with it because he took Sean [Singletary] as a challenge and got him off balance a little bit, and everybody else who was on the court for them picked up on it.”

Meanwhile, Redick provided all the offensive firepower the Blue Devils would need in the first half, scoring 11 points during a game-opening 20-2 run. The senior finished the half with 16 points, just eight fewer than Virginia.

The Cavaliers, however, capitalized on 15 Duke turnovers during the first period to claw their way back into the game.

After Reynolds’. three-pointer with 17 seconds remaining, Krzyzewski became so frustrated with Duke’s offense that at one point he slammed his chair in anger

Sunday’s loss means that Duke, despite the huge win over the Lady Vols, will not be No. 1 when the new AP poll is released this week. That honor will go to the Tar Heels, who are the only remaining unbeaten in all of Division I college basketball—men’s or women’s.

Duke faces North Carolina for the second time Feb. 25 in Chapel Hill.

“I told the team I’m kind of glad, if it was going to happen, that it happened early,” Goestenkors said. “I know that we will be better because of this game.”

We just hadn’t taken care of the ball.”

Coming out of the locker room after the break, Williams hit a short jumper that sparked a Blue Devil run that swelled the lead to as much as 29 points. Williams

barely missed his second career tripledouble, finishing with 17 points, 10 rebounds and eight blocks. But the night belonged to Redick, who scored at will against every defender the Cavaliers sent at him. In fact, Redick didn’t even miss a second-half shot until a missed free throw with less than nine minutes remaining in the game.

“It was just an incredible performance,” Krzyzewski said. “I mean, are you kidding me? 11 out of 13 and eight out of 10 from three? I’m not sure how many times he hit the rim.”

THE CHRONICLE

The Duke fencing team completed its longest road trip of the season this weekend, with the men compiling a 5-4 record and the women going 4-6 in competitions in State College, Penn., and South Bend, Ind.

The lOth-ranked men’s team’s showing was particularly impressive, coming home with more wins than losses despite facing four of the top five teams in the country.

“We competed against good teams, and we held our ground,” head coach Alex Beguinet said. “I’m very proud.”

The teams got off to a rough start Saturday at Penn State, where the men dropped two of their three matches and the women lost three of four. The Blue Devils, however, salvaged the weekend at Notre Dame Sunday as several fencers turned in strong performances.

“The team spirit was good again,” Beguinet said. “We went against strong teams and never let down.”

Duke was again led by their saber fencers. On the men’s side, freshman Laughlin Stewart went an impressive 6-3 Sundayand juniorJohn Cornwell backed him up with a 6-5 mark. Fellow sabers Michael DiMarco and Peter Truszkowski shared the spotlight Saturday, as each finished 5-4.

For the women, the return of junior All-American Ibtihaj Muhammad, who missed Saturday’s matches with an illness, sparked the saber team to a 4-2 mark. Muhammad compiled a 14-3 record and fellow junior Allison Schafer went 9-6.

“The saber teams did very well again,” Beguinet said. “It was better [Sunday] than Saturday, so no complaints about that.”

The Blue Devils will now prepare for their lone home compedtion of the season in two weeks. In the meantime, Beguinet said he will try to keep his fencers sharp. “[We’re going to] keep training and competing among each other and keep doing what we’ve been doing,” Beguinet said.

The men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams fell to East Carolina University Saturday in their second-tolast dual meet of the season.

The Pirates defeated Duke’s men’s team (3-5) 130-113 and the women’s team (5-5) 144-99 in Greenville, N.C. The men’s 17-point loss was decided in the last event—the 400-yard freestyle relay.

ECU (6-2) beat out the Duke squad of sophomores Matt Rinehart, Jesse Sandberg and Ryan Packer and freshman Andy Ward by just less than two seconds to seal the Pirates’ victory.

Blue Devil relay teams needed to take first and second place in the race to win the meet.

Duke had trailed by as many as 25 points after the first few events, but won each of the last four individual races to close the gap.

“I think as a whole the men did an excellent job today,” head coach Dan Colella said. “They were really ready to roll and got the job done. For them to battle back after being 25 points down is great.”

Senior Andy Storm won both the 1,000- and 500-yard freestyle events with ■season bests of 9:54.70 and 4:48.99, respectively, and placed second in the 200yard breaststroke behind teammate Kevin Arthofer to bolster Duke’s scoring.

Storm’s 1,000-yard freestyle time was also a career best.

On the women’s side, senior Katie Ness also recorded a two-win performance, but the Blue Devils were unable to keep the score close enough to have a shot late in the meet.

“We knew going into this meet that ECU always makes this a big meet for them,” Colella said. “They were really prepared, and I don’t think we necessarily brought our ‘A’ game.”

Ness won both the 200-yard butterfly in 2:03.11 and the 200-yard backstroke in 2:03.99 to record season-best times. The events were nearly back-to-back, separated only by the 100-yard freestyle.

Duke, however, won only one other individual event. Junior Jackie Rodriguez beat ECU’s Kelly Shinton in the

200-yard breaststroke by 1.92 seconds with a 2:22.91 time. The Blue Devils’ performance Saturday was not on par with Colella’s expectations for the upcoming ACC Championships.

“Some folks need to regroup and get themselves ready for ACCs,” Colella said.

“We could have been stronger mentally today. Everyone falters a little bit, and I’d rather falter here than later on at the ACCs.” For their final dual meet of the season,

both the men’s and women’s teams will host Clemson Feb. 4 in the Taishoff Aquatics Pavilion.

The women’s team will then travel to College Park, Md. for the ACC Championships Feb. 15-18. The men’s team will follow suit Feb. 22-25.

“I do expect to have some heads turning,” Colella said of the upcoming ACC meet. “It’s been a great productive year, and we’ve made some great strides.”

The women's fencing team went 4-6 against toptier competition at Penn Stateand Notre Dame.

AMANDA TONG/THE

The Duke women's team won just three individual races as it felt to East Carolina, 144-99.

The Duke wrestling team just cannot catch a break.

The Blue Devils (0-7, 0-2 in the ACC) fell to Maryland (6-7, 4-0), 21-12, Saturday in a match that was closer than the score may indicate, said head coach Clar Anderson. All of the Terrapins’ wins were by four points or fewer.

“Maryland, they did a phenomenal job of winning the close matches,” Anderson said. “In all my years of coaching, I’ve never seen a match that turned out like that.

Every match was decided in the third period, and [seven] of them went against us.”

Juniors Philip Wightman and Daniel Shvartsman and redshirt freshman Aaron Glover all held leads in the third period at the 141-, 149- and 165-pound classes, respectively, before losing by a combined four points.

The three losses came in a six-match streak that Maryland used to turn a 6-3 team deficit into a insurmountable 21-6

lead. Senior Levi Craig and freshman Dan Tulley won at the 174- and 184-pound classes, respectively, to finish the match, but the Blue Devils had already dropped their seventh-straight dual match.

“If we win those three matches that we were winning in the third period, its a whole different match,” Anderson said. “This whole season, after every match it seems like the same talk. We’re right there, and we just have to pull out some close matches.”

Sophomore Konrad Dudziak had a chance to tie the day’s opening match in the last minute but could not record the takedown, and the Terrapins took the 3-0 team lead. Maryland, however, had to forfeit the heavyweight class, giving Duke a 63 lead before the Terps went on their sixmatch tear.

“Our record does not reflect our performance—I hope they can believe in themselves and show that,” Anderson said. “What is going to be the turning point? We are still searching for that.”

Duke men’s and women’s track and field teams found success in three separate meets over the weekend, qualifying five men for the IC4A Championships and eight women for the ECAC Championships, all while breaking two school records along the way.

The team’s best runners competed in the Terrier Classic in Boston while the pole vaulters headed to Reno, Nev., for the Pole Vault Summit. Many of the team’s runners also saw action at the Tar Heel Invitational in Chapel Hill.

Senior Clara Horowitz highlighted the Terrier Classic with what head coach Norm Ogilvie called, “the best run of the weekend.”

She beat former Blue Devil Paige Miller’s school record in the 5,000-meter by 11 seconds to finish in 16:15:39. Her time automatically qualified her for the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships, making her the first ACC woman to qualify in a running event.

Freshmen Michelle Seibert and Libby Jenke and junior Lindsay Owen finished in the top 10 of the 500-meter run with ECAC-qualifying times. Elizabeth Wort also qualified with her fifth-place finish in the mile, while freshman Molly Lehmen and senior Laura Stanley qualified in the 800- and 3,000-meter runs, respectively.

Junior Debra Vento jumped 5-10 to win the high jump, while Kelly Reynolds took fourth in the weight throw.

The men’s team saw impressive results from three of its sophomores at the Terrier Classic. Sophomore Jade Ellis took first in the long jump, while several Duke records were rewritten in the running events. Peter Lewellen broke the 500meter run school record, which he set last year at the same event.

Chris Spooner also ran the third fastest 3,000-meter time in school history with a time of 8:17.6 to qualify for the IC4A. In addition, Spooner helped Duke’s distance-medley relay team make the IC4A by running the anchor leg with a 4:12 mile split.

Many of the top runners from the men's track and field team competed at the Terrier Classic in Boston.

“We’re real excited where Chris is heading this year,” Ogilvie said.

Junior Daniel King finished 12th in the 400-meter run with a time of 48.96, just three-tenths of a second off his school record, 48.63.

In Reno, sophomore Lara Jones tied her personal-best mark of 12-3.5. She had already qualified for the ECAC meet with the same height last week. Junior Jonathan Fay and sophomore lan Cassidy had marks of 15-7 and 15-0, respectively, for the men’s side.

In Chapel Hill, sophomore Tyler Clarke finished first in the heptathalon while freshman Geary Gubbins finished ninth in the mile.

The Blue Devils also placed four other runners in the top 25 in the mile event at the Tar Heel Invitational. Sophomore Justin Kaviar finished 22nd in the long jump, and the men’s distance medley relay finished seventh. For the women, Jessica Tanner finished 15th in the weight throw and Willene Hare finished 24th in the 400-meter run.

Smith, who competed last year but out before the 59-hour event

ended, noted that basketball fever is spreading as the big game quickly approaches.

“I feel that the contest does create some sort of excitement or buzz about the game,” Smith said.

For senior Melissa Sutton, one of the contestants, it was an easy decision to commit to the competition.

“It’s senior year, and it’s the biggest rivalry,” she said. “I’m actually going to be at the game either way, but I’m going for the risers.”

Freshman Bennett Campbell lasted almost 19 hours. When his phone dropped, he reached with both hands to pick it up and was forced to drop out of the contest.

“The hardest part was not trying to think of it as two days,” he said. “I tried to take it one little chunk at a time.”

Campbell decided to compete because of his bad luck with ticket distributions in the past.

“I saw this is a chance to have control over my tickets instead of waiting for a number to come up,” Campbell said.

Ideally, the researchers want to make hyperthermia a treatment that can be prescribed in conjunction with others.

For now, however, the medical center remains one of the few places in the world where patients can receive the promising treatment—a circumstance that will continue thanks to the NCl’s vote of confidence in granting the funds.

“For most diseases, this would be the only place you can get it in the United States,” Dewhirst said.

Diseases that are being targeted for hyperthermia treatment trials include soft tissue sarcomas, locally advanced cervical cancer, locally advanced breast cancer and melanomas.

Hardbody,” in which contestants competed for a truck by seeing who could keep

their hand on it the longest.

KRANC received the basketball tickets from the Carolina Athletic Association after proposing the contest idea.

“It was a pretty big hit last year,” said junior Mark Smith, president of KRANC. “It’s fun when the student body comes by.”

Every two hours, the contestants have a 10-minute break, and every six hours, they have a 15-minutebreak.

Food is provided, but students must eat with one hand on the table. The contestants are also allowed to sleep, as long as they do not lean on the table.

About six hours into the event, freshmen basketball stars Tyler Hansbrough and Bobby Eraser stopped by to visit the contestants.

In a preclinical trial, cancer-afflicted mice that were administered the free drug showed no effect, but mice that were treated with the liposome arid hyperthermia were cured, Dewhirst said. He added that ultimately the liposome, which is currendy in National Institutes ofHealth human trials, might be used to treat locally advanced breast cancer in which tumors have developed on the chest wall and are inoperable.

Another area in which hyperthermia has shown promise is the treatment of melanomas, said Dr. Doug Tyler, a clinician who has been participating in the research.

WOODRUFF

from page 2

The U.S. military confirmed that Woodruff and Vogt were injured in the midday attack and said an investigation is under way.

Lara Logan, a CBS News correspondent who has covered Iraq, said the Taji area is considered particularly dangerous because it was the site of one of Saddam Hussein’s munitions dumps. Many of the explosives are believed to have gotten into the hands of insurgents, she said.

“I admire Bob for going with the Iraqis,” said Logan, who was blown 12 feet in the air by an explosion while with the U.S. military in Afghanistan in 2003. “It’s important to hear their story and to experience it from their point of view. He did the right thing.”

Wulforst is considering a variety of options to replace Rick’s: a sit-down grill, a bar, an Asian noodle bar.

Any of these would be fantastic additions to campus.

An eatery with healthy Asian fare has been long discussed, and since the close of the

nights.

Oak Room three years ago, many people have clamored for the return of table-service dining. And students always want a bar.

The reason all these places would be a poor reRick’s, for placement though, is that it’s unlikely any of them would keep Rick’s hours.

What would this campus be like without a place to gather and munch hashbrowns and eggs during the weekend hours between nighttime and morning?

Drunk students will always be hungry at that time. And Rick’s, as said, is a safe place to be drunk and recovering.

Durham is short on other late-night options. Waffle House and Honey’s, the local

24-hour diner, are a ten minute drive from campus, and both are adjacent to major highways.

For students to frequent these places at 3:30 a.m. would be unsafe.

Whatever replaces Rick’s needs to be a 24-hour place.

If the challenges of constantly remaining open make food quality impossible, then hours could be scaled back during the week—as is the case at Cosmic Cantina, which keeps late-night hours but closes at 4 a.m. when its business slows.

Part of Rick’s problem has been lagging sales, but with a better product, that wouldn’t be the case.

After all, there will be weekend customers.

Oh man! JACK BAUER’S BIDET was SO excited that the Kentucky Derby had finally come to Duke! But it turned out it was just Pat Summit and the Lady Volunteers running to put more money in the parking meter. JACK had $5O riding on 12:1 long shot Sidney Spencer.

Alternate Opposing-Women’s-Basketball-Team-IsEquestrian Joke; Pat Summit tried to make a substitution during a free throw but received a technical for “Horse trading with the referees JACK BAUER’S monday, monday BIDET just wants jack bauer's bidet you to have options in your pseudo-misogynist Monday humor. (*For real misogyny, keep reading.) He’d make a remark about UNC here, but finds the phrase “Lady Tarholes” distasteful for personal reasons he’d rather not mention.

Speaking of dominant basketball, JACK doesn’t quite understand why everyone is so excited about Kobe Bryant’s 81-point performance against the Raptors. JACK BAUER’S BIDET scored 98 (wind-assisted) points in his Dino Bio final exam but didn’t get any national press. And it’s not like JACK hasn’t seduced his fair share of money-grubbing gold diggers.

Speaking of gold diggers, JACK BAUER’S BIDET is elated to see there’s a 5-percent chance that students’ best interests will prevail and ARAMARK will be expelled from Duke. JACK, sad the cool kids on DUSDAC won’tlet him play, would like to use this opportunity to recommend the following groups to take the gnarly, bloodstained reigns from ARAMARK The Republican Party: JACK thinks with elephantine cuisine, the managerial incompetence would at least be up front and consistent. Duke students are used to broken promises and poor food quality, but JACK BAUER’S BIDET thinks students will take nicely to exciting new names like “Freedom Fries,” “Liberty Linguini,” “Abstinence Applesauce” and “Life Begins At Conception, Not Birth Omelets.”

Students paying xash for tuition would receive meal-fee reductions.

The GOP could then leverage its food service operations into a flourishing Campus Security business. JACK BAUER’S BIDET would like to suggest a new slogan for The Free Marketplace on East: “The Poor Quality Foodservice Establishment Where You WON’T Get Robbed At Gunpoint At 11:30. Also, Lock Your Damned Doors.”

As a hidden side benefit, Stephen Miller would fi”

nally get institutional support for his boycott ofThe Loop. Steven, JACK wants you to know he agrees: vibrating pagers promote nefarious anti-family, autoerotic tendencies.

Finally, a right-wing foodservice operation would assuage those concerned with a liberal bias at the University. Students can get rampant left-wing drivel on University holidays and then get a free NRA memberships at Rick’s with every fountain soda purchase. It’s brilliant.

The Women’s Studies department: JACK BAUER’S BIDET has always wanted to bridge the gap between academia and the real world. Here, B.A. candidates can gain practical experience for course credit by sweeping the floors of the Great Hall and the Marketplace, in addition to pursuing advanced coursework in pie-making. Master’s degree students can set the tables, clean the counters and perform publishable research in the field of cake and sandwich recipes, as well as beer-fetching.

Ph.D. candidates would produce and defend a new four-course meal every night, for the reasonable price of $8.95. Faculty, of course, would still devote themselves to the other womanly pursuit—producing and rearing JACK’S babies. Naturally, men-folk will have to be involved in order to actually run the business and to grade the employees on appearance, charm and time-integral-of-distance-from-oven. Instead ofletter grades, employees will be graded on a scale of Shadee Malaklou to Bree Vandekamp.

Booklt: JACK BAUER’S BIDET thinks students should get more out of their course readings than an education. Initially, Pizza Hut balked at the idea of providing free weekly meals to the endre undergraduate body. However, only the students that do their reading will get the free pizzas. That said, the company spokespeople appear confidentthat four pizzas a week would not be an undue burden.

AEPi: JACK’S heard they did wonders with the Hideaway. Also, JACK loves blintzes, just like your mom used to make.

JACK BAUER’S BIDET did a lot of thinking, and while these groups are the most promising organizations to run Duke’s foodservice, they are by no means the only ones.

Health care confidential

American

health care is desperately in need of reform.

But what form should change take? Are there any useful examples we can turn to for guidance?

Well, I know about a health care system that has been highly successful in containing costs, yet provides excellent care. And the story of this system’s success provides a helpful corrective to anti-government ideology. For the government doesn’t just pay the bills in this system—it runs the hospitals and clinics.

No, I’m not talking about some faraway country. The nail ■vrugiflall HauiI krUdlTian system in question is our very own Veterans Health Adminguest commentary istration, whose success story is one of the best-kept secrets in the American policy debate.

In the 1980 and early 19905, says an article in The American Journal of Managed Care, the VHA “had a tarnished reputation of bureaucracy, inefficiency and mediocre care.” But reforms beginning in the mid-1990s transformed the system, and “the VA’s success in improving quality, safety and value,” the article says, “have allowed it to emerge as an increasingly recognized leader in health care.”

Last year customer satisfaction with the veterans’ health system, as measured by an annual survey conducted by the National Quality Research Center, exceeded that for private health care for the sixth year in a row. This high level of quality (which is also verified by objective measures of performance) was achieved without big budget increases. In fact, the veterans’ system has managed to avoid much of the huge cost surge that has plagued the rest ofU.S. medicine.

How does the VHA do it?

The secret of its success is the fact that it’s a universal, integrated system. Because it covers all veterans, the system doesn’t need to employ legions of administrative staff to check patients’ coverage and demand payment from their insurance companies. Because it covers all aspects ofmedical care, it has been able to take the lead in electronic record-keeping and other innovations that reduce costs, ensure effective treatment and help prevent medical errors.

Moreover, the VHA, as Phillip Longman put it in The Washington Monthly, “has nearly a lifetime relationship with its patients.” As a result, it “actually has an incentive to invest in prevention and more effective disease management. When it does so, it isn’t just saving money for somebody else. It’s maximizing its own resources. In short, it can do what the rest of the health care sector can’t seem to, which is to pursue quality systematically without threatening its own financial viability.”

Oh, and one more thing: The veterans’ health system bargains hard with medical suppliers, and pays far less for drugs than most private insurers.

I don’t want to idealize the veterans’ system. In fact, there’s reason to be concerned about its future: Will it be given the resources it needs to cope with the flood of wounded and traumatized veterans from Iraq? But the transformation of the VHA is clearly the most encouraging health policy story of the past decade. So why haven’t you heard about it?

The answer, I believe, is that pundits and policymakers don’t talk about the veterans’ system because they can’t handle the cognitive dissonance. (One prominent commentator started yelling at me when I tried to describe the system’s successes in a private conversation.) For the lesson of the VHA’s success story—that a government agency can deliver better care at lower cost than the private sector—runs completely counter to the pro-privatization, anti-government conventional wisdom that dominates today’s Washington.

The dissonance between the dominant ideology and the realities of health care is one reason the Medicare drug legislation looks as if someone went down a checklist of things that the veterans’ system does right, and in each case did the opposite. For example, the VHA avoids dealing with insurance companies; the drug bill shoehorns insurance companies into the program even though they serve no real function. The VHA bargains effectively on drug prices; the drug bill forbids Medicare from doing the same.

Still, ideology can’t hold out against reality forever. Cries of “socialized medicine” didn’t, in the end, succeed in blocking the creation of Medicare. And farsighted thinkers are already suggesting that the Veterans Health Administration, not President George W. Bush’s unrealistic vision of a system in which people go “comparative shopping” for medical care the way they do when buying tile (his example, not mine), represents the true future ofAmerican health care.

It's not our problem, is it? of Onenigger, you’re

you two is going to hang for this. Since you’re the elected.

This is not the climax of an overly-dramatic madefor-television movie. Nor is it an irrelevant memory confined to the pages of a history book. Instead, these were the very real and horrifying words of a Texas police officer. They were directed at Clarence Brandley, an innocent black man sentenced to death.

Claniel DOWeS They offer the truest glimpse of a simple observation the discrimination within our society that has infected our justice system. After 10 years of community outrage and protest, Brandley would escape his legal lynching. In 1990Brandley became one of the lucky few, a group of 122 people exonerated prior to execution in the United States since 1973.

It’s a terrible irony that there would ever be a circumstance under which a man who had been stripped of 10 years of his life would be considered “lucky.” But the reality is that Brandley has regained some semblance ofa life while there remain innocent individuals still waiting in the shadow of their impending death.

I’ve imagined myself in Brandley’s position—to be in a situation where every day offers only another opportunity to think about society’s betrayal.

Whatever your beliefs regarding the effectiveness or righteousness of the death penalty, it is an indisputable truth that innocent individuals are being put to death.

Advocates justify the spilling of innocent blood as an unavoidable, unintentional consequence of human fallibility. In recent years, however, study after study has revealed that the execution of innocents is about as intentional as murder can be.

From the illegal misconduct of district attorneys to the abusive investigative tactics of police departments to the racially-based selection of jurors, racial discrimination is poisoning the justice system at every level.

Statistically, being black is more of an aggravating factor than “causing great fear, harm or pain” or “committing a murder with another felony,” and just behind “murder with torture” (see www.deathpenaltyinfo.org). In Philadelphia, a black man convicted of the same crime as a white man is 3.9 times more likely to receive a death sentence.

Compounding the problem, and an injustice in and of itself, is the inherent discrimination of a system that refuses to pay reasonable compensation ”

,

.

,

.

for public defenders. The justice system, instead, provides the least-qualified, most reprimanded attorneys to defend the poor.

How telling is it that when a black man can afford the best the system has to offer, we call it the “trial of the century?” But when a court-appointed attorney fails to do any pre-trial investigation and is, therefore, unable to tell the jury that another man has already confessed to his client’s alleged crimes, we disregard it as an aberration. Ronald Williamson spent 11 years on death row for that “aberration.”

When Johnny Cochran tells the jury “if it doesn’t fit, you must acquit,” we scoff at the possibility that a black man is going to get away with murdering a white woman.

But when a poor man can’t afford the eloquence and legal maneuvering of the “Dream Team”— when, instead, he is provided with an attorney who offers no mitigating evidence at a sentencing hearing and closes with the 26-word argument, “You are an extremely intelligent jury. You’ve got that man’s life in your hands. You can take it or not. That’s all I have to say”—there is no public outrage.

Jesus Romero was sentenced to death at that hearing and executed in 1992.

And when a wealthy black man is found innocent of murder, we speak of injustice and question the integrity of the system. But there is no outcry when Aden Harrison, Jr., a young black man, is forced to put his life in the hands of a court-appointed attorney who served for 18 years as an Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan.

With a reality this surreal—for these injustices and hundreds more—why aren’t we asking questions?

Because we’ve determined that there’s only one question worth asking: “Why should we change a system that discriminates in our favor?” The answer to this question has for decades now provided the leaders ofNorth Carolina the motive for delaying at every turn even the admission of the possibility that the death penalty may be discriminatory.

And isn’t that a valid motive?

I mean, I can certainly understand their perspective.

I’m white.

My Duke education will undoubtedly grant me financial security.

So why should I give a damn about the death

penalty?

This is Brandley’s problem. This is Williamson and Harrison’s problem. This is—scratch that—was Jesus Romero’s problem. It’s not mine, and it’s not yours.

Is it?
