Surrounded by suit-and-de clad President students, Richard Brodhead presented the concept ofcreating a courageous “culture of initiative” at his second question-and-answer session with student representatives Monday night. “It’s like I have this dream, and I’m addressing the U.N.,” Brodhead joked at the start of the talk. “I feel like I’m a gladiator waiting for lions and tigers to come out at me.” In the speech before ajoint meeting of the Duke Student Government and the Graduate and Professional Student Council, Brodhead spoke to three salient concerns at The University: mentoring, expense and educational and social environment. Brodhead said that at its heart, the University’s strategic plan for the next five years due out in May —will aim to foster a culture of initiative. The concept will be achieved by increasing opportunities for

intellectual creativity and cultivating a desire among students to avail themselves of these opportunities, Brodhead said. “Something you can do a lot SEE BRODHEAD ON PAGE

Senators question Gonzales' defense by

Katherine Shrader

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Senators raised doubts about the legal rationale for the Bush administration’s eavesdropping program Monday, forcing Attorney General Alberto Gonzales to provide a lengthy defense of the operations he called a vital “early warning system” for terrorists. A handful of Republicans joined Democrats in raising questions about whether President George W. Bush went too far in ordering the National Security Agency’s monitoring operations. The senators were particularly troubled by the administration’s argument that a September 2001

congressional resolution approving use of military force covered the surveillance of

some domestic communications. “The president does not have a blank check,” said Judiciary Chairman Arlen Specter, R-Pa., who wants the administration to ask the secretive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to review the program. “You think you’re right, but there are a lot of people who think you’re wrong,” Specter told Gonzales. “What do you have to lose if you’re right?” In response, the former Texas judge said, “We are continually looking at ways that we can work with the FISA court in being more efficient and more effective.”

Under Bush’s orders, the ultra-secret National Security Agency has been eavesdropping —without warrants —on international communications of people in the United States whose calls and e-mails may be linked to Muslim extremists. During the daylong committee hearing, Gonzales and the senators reached as far back as eavesdropping ordered by President Washington and delved into court decisions surrounding presidential powers and the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Gonzales repeatedly defended the curSEE SURVEILLANCE ON PAGE 6

Iran tells lAEA to remove cameras Jahn

by George THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

VIENNA, Austria Iran has told the International Atomic Energy Agency to remove surveillance cameras and agency seals from sites and nuclear equipment by the end of next week in response to referral to the U.N. Security Council, the agency said Monday. Iran’s demands came two days after the lAEA reported Tehran to the council over its disputed atomic program. In a confidential report to the lAEA’s 35-member board on Monday, agency head Mohamed Elßaradei said Iran also

announced a sharp reduction in the number and kind of lAEA, inspections, effective immediately. The report was made available to The Associated Press. Iranian officials had repeatedly warned they would stop honoring the so-called “Additional Protocol” to the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty—an agreement giving lAEA inspectors greater authority—if the lAEA board referred their country to the council. A diplomat close to the Vienna-based lAEA told the AP that Iran had also moved forward on another threat—formally setting a date for resuming hill-scale work on its uranium enrichment program. Iran says

it wants to make fuel through enrichment, but the activity can also generate the nuclear core of warheads. The diplomat, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the matter was confidential, refused to divulge the date. Robert Joseph, the U.S. undersecretary of state for arms control, said Monday that Iran used negotiations with the European Union to play for time and develop its ca-

pabilities.

boost assault awareness through b-ball to

Wenjia Zhang THE CHRONICLE

Duke University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will be joining forces at upcoming basketball games to raise awareness about sexual assault on both campuses. The initiative is the first outreach to students from Helping to Advocate for Violence Ending Now, a Duke-UNC faculty training program designed to provide a support network for students who were sexually assaulted. The first event will take place at the Dean E. Smith Center Feb. 25, during the Duke-UNC women’s basketball game. Tables will be set up outside as students file in, and volunteers will pass out give-aways—like T-shirts and wristbands—and information pamphlets. A similar event will be held at the

March 9 men’s game in Cameron Indoor Stadium. Organizers of the events will attempt to increase the awareness level on both campuses at the basketball games, which they said will provide a great platform to inform a large body of students from both universities. The basketball outreach program is sponsored by a $2,500 grant from the Robertson Scholars Program. Another grant for $2,500 was approved in May by the Robertson Scholars to start the HAVEN program. “We’ve been very blessed by the Robertson,” said Melinda Manning, UNC’s assistant dean of students HAVEN, launched in fall of 2005, is a program available to faculty and staff on

A felonious municipal employee and the city’s 2006-2007 fiscal year budget were the topics addressed at Monday’s Durham City Council meeting. The meeting began with a discussion of Dwight Bagley, a former gang member the city hired to “lead people out of that [gang] lifestyle,” according to City Manager Patrick Baker. The Hillsborough Police Department arrested Bagley —who was convicted of second-degree murder 11 years ago at the age of 15—for the shooting of a 22year-old man in Hillsborough Jan. 16, the day before he began work at the city’s water resources department. Bagley was hired through a new city program called Project Strike, which targets prominent gang members and encourages them to use their influence to prevent other young men from entering gang life.

the post April 3 “Pascal Goldschmidt is a wonderful person, and a person I greatly admire, who got a fabulous opportunity and took it,” President Richard Brodhead said. “We were very lucky to have Pascal here, and while here, he did the accomplishments that made somebody else offer him the opportunity to take on a job with greater responsibilities. We can’t be surprised if he took it.” Brodhead added that the University will soon undertake a search to fill the

position.

“I regret his leaving, but we’ll certainly do our best to find somebody terrific, and I’m sure we will,” he said. Goldschmidt specializes in cardiology. SEE GOLDSCHMIDT ON PAGE 12

Bagley was Project Strike’s second employee, and Baker took full responsibility for his hiring. “I had extremely high hopes for Mr. Bagley and thought he was the ideal candidate to lead people out of this sort of life,” Baker said. “It’s personally disappointing because I put my reputation on the line for Mr. Bagley.” Mayor Bill Bell and council members Cora Cole-McFadden and Howard Clement expressed their strong support for Baker and Project Strike, which they praised as an innovative approach to combating gang violence. Council member Thomas Stith sounded the lone note of skepticism. “How do we go about this process? How do we vet the process?” Stith said. “Right now we’ve got a city employee sitting in the Orange County jail on half-a-million dollars bond.” SEE CITY COUNCIL ON PAGE 10

THE CHRONICLE

Veteran photojournalist Charles Moore spoke Monday in the Sanford Institute ofPublic Policy about his experiences chronicling the Civil Rights movement. Moore who has worked for a variety of publications, photographed Martin Luther King, Jr.’s 1958 arrest in Birmingham, Ala., and the forced integration of the University of Mississippi in 1962. He also documented Bloody ,

Sunday—the attack by police on a peaceful attempt to march from Selma, Ala., to the state capitol at Montgomery in

March 1965—and a JK.u Klux Klan gathering the same year in North Carolina. His most iconic image—a 1963 photograph taken in Birmingham —shows protesters buffeted against a wall as they are blasted with a fire hose. “It was meant for me to be out there,” Moore said. “I’m very proud that you can see changing

attitudes in the South today.” A panel discussion at Monday’s event featured Robert Korstad, associate professor of public policy and history, and Charles Payne, the Sally Dalton Robinson professor of history, AfricanAmerican studies and sociology and director of African and African-American studies. The discussion touched on Moore’s images as well as contemporary civil rights and journalism. SEE MOORE ON PAGE 11

Scholars commemorate Howard This week marks the inaugural Reginald© Howard Commemoration Week, an event organized by the Reginaldo Howard Scholars and held to honor the legacy of the University’s first African-American president of the student body. The festivities began Feb. 5 with a service in the Chapel Loft of the Duke Chapel, featuring a sermon by English professor Maurice Wallace and musical selections from gospel choir United in Praise. The week will conclude with the presentation of a plaque to Howard’s family in the Mary Lou Williams Center for Black Culture Feb. 11 at 6 p.m. The Duke community began celebrating the memory of Howard in 2004 with the inaugural Reginaldo Howard Commemoration Day. Since that time, the ceremonies have evolved into a week-long series of events in honor of Howard’s contributions to the University. Howard, who is remembered for his scholarship and integrity, was elected president of the Associated Students of Duke University in 1976 but was tragically killed in a car accident before he had the opportunity to take office officially. That same year, his family established a scholarship fund in his honor.

DUPD creates composite of armedassailant Duke University Police Department officials released a composite for a suspect that held up two Duke students on Perry Street Jan. 25. The two students were returning from Ninth Street around 11:45 p.m. when the two males robbed them. The rendering is of the assailant who held the weapon. Police officials said the armed suspect was in his early twenties, 6foot-2 to 6-foot-3, described as having very noticeable cheek bones, a goatee beard and was last seen wearing a gray sweatshirt with a hood and blue jeans. The suspect had what was described as long barreled black revolver. The second suspect was also male and was described as shorter and heavier than the first suspect.

tional security. He said the president’s authority was strongest in a time of war, and he called the monitoring operations an “early warning system designed for the 21st century.” He said no changes in law were needed to accommodate the monitoring. “To end the program now would be to afford our enemy dangerous and potential deadly new room for operation within our own borders,” he said. Democrats pressed Gonzales for details about the program and other similar operations, almost all of which he would not provide. They’ve asked Specter to file subpoenas for classified legal opinions on the subject. “The president and the Justice Department have a constitutional duty to faithfully execute the laws,” said Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy, the committee’s top Democrat. “Nobody is above the law, not even the president of the United States.” Leahy asked if the administration has authorized the opening of U.S. citizens’ mail. Throughout the hearing, Gonzales chose his words carefully. “We’re only focused on international communications where one part of the communication is al Qaeda,” he said. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., asked if the Bush administration had issued “any other secret order or directive” that would be prohibited by law. Said Gonzales: “The president has not authorized any conduct that I’m aware of that is in contravention of law.” Republicans, too, were skeptical. Sen. Mike DeWine, R Ohio, said Bush’s power—and the country—would be stronger if he came to Congress for statutory authorization. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said future presidents could be hurt when they seek authorizations to use force because the Bush administration interpreted Congress’ post 9/11-resolution so broadly. And Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., said he wanted to review whether changes were needed in the 1978 intelligence law to permit this type of monitoring. Gonzales tried to paint eavesdropping as less heavyhanded than firing missiles or holding terrorists in detention. He noted the Supreme Court found it was appropriate to detain an American citizen for fighting alongside al Qaeda. “How can it be that merely listening to al Qaeda phone calls into and out of the country in order to disrupt their plots is not?” Gonzales asked. He also tried to downplay reports of dissent within the Justice Department. To his knowledge, he said, no one had reservations about the program under discussion. But Gonzales said he could not tell Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y, whether some department officials felt they needed private legal counsel. Sen. Richard Durbin, D-111., asked Gonzales to help him reconcile public comments from Bush administration officials. Some have said the program is not a “drift net” vacuuming up communications. Yet HomelandSecurity Secretary Michael Chertoff told one publication that the NSA was culling from “thousands” of phone numbers. Gonzales said the program was “very narrowly tailored.” Separately, Homeland Security spokesman Russ Knocke disputed the published report, saying “the secretary was describing in general terms the legal principles involved, rather than providing details specific to the program.” Democrats repeatedly questioned the truthfulness of Gonzales and Bush, citing statements they had made about wiretapping before the program became public. :

Anthony Vitarelli (left) and Rob Saunders (right) were last year's undergraduate and graduate students Young Trustees, respectively.

GRAD from page 1 chair of the Young Trustee selection committee. The group narrowed the list of semifinalists from five to three after interviewing each candidate for 40 minutes with a list of set questions that was followed by individualized inquiries. The semifinalists demonstrated a high level of experience within the Duke community and in the greater Durham area, Devisetty said. “The entire committee is very proud of the slate we’re putting forth,” he said. The final selection will be made following a Feb. 20 GPSC meeting when each candidate will make a 10minute speech to be followed by a question-and-answer session of indefinite length. A public forum afterward will allow attendees to comment on the candidates after hearing them make their cases. Dean is a Chronicle columnist and served on the Board as an interim Young Trustee last year. She said she would like to see increased communication between students, student organizations and the administration. She said her experience as treasurer and then president of GPSC showed her students’ lack of knowledge about events and funding available to them

“Knowing what’s going on and networking with other students gives a sense of belonging,” she said. Dean and Klein both sit on the Duke Strategic Planning Committee. One ofKlein’s goals is to continue fostering interdisciplinary studies, he said, citing a University-wide energy initiative as a possible project. He also pointed to strategic planning as one of his particular interests. “I’ve had this long-term perspective on Duke, had a lot of different roles,” Klein said. “So I look at this as an opportunity to take a big-picture look at the University.” Klein currently serves as the GPSC representative to the Board’s Medical Center Affairs Committee. Nolan said he plans to examine Duke’s active role in the international community, take better fiscal advantage of the University’s intellectual property by clarifying policies and play up the strength ofDuke’s interdisciplinary programs. He commended the University for having a Young Trustee program. “I’m thrilled that the process is open, collaborative and effective,” he said. Devisetty emphasized that the choice will be difficult for the selection committee. “Every single one of us was undecided as to who we would vote for because all three are that strong,” Devisetty said.

titles is considered to be one of the most prestigious for an undergraduate student. The new trustee will have full voting privileges for his latter two years on the board. From the original thirteen applications received Jan. 13, the Young Trustee Selection Committee first narrowed the field to eight semi-finalists before the latest round of cuts. Next week, finalists will be interviewed by the selection committee and the four committees that make up DSG’s legislative body. DSG will select the finalist by secret ballot at its Feb. 15 meeting. Goodwin said it seemed fitting that he should join Kallmeyer and Sandesara in the race for Young Trustee because he has known the other two since freshman year. “It’s amazing how Duke is such a small world,” he said. Goodwin, DSG Executive Vice President and member of the Bench and Bar Association, plans to go to law school next year. If selected, Goodwin said his experience in law school will help flesh out his understanding of his alma mater. “It’s not an award, it’s a position that somebody needs to take seriously because the position itselfoffers the opportunity to bring a fresh perspective to the Board of Trustees for a three-year term,” Goodwin said. All three candidates said they will spend the following days in preparation for the upcoming rounds of interviews. “I’m looking forward to continuing the process along with two other really qualified people,” Kallmeyer said. “I’ll continue talking to different leaders around campus and former leaders about major issues.” Kallmeyer added that he has seen different aspects of the University through his participation in various campus organizations during the last four years. The outgoing president of the Duke Student Union, Kallmeyer has been a representative on East Campus Council and Campus Council. If selected as Young Trustee, he said he hopes to promote arts initiatives on campus and help with the designing of a new Central Campus. The economics major will work in sales and trading in New York next year. Sandesara, who is an active member of Diya and the Angier B. Duke Memorial Scholarship program, said he is excited by the prospect of getting a broader perspective on the University. “This is the greatest thing that any undergraduate can do at Duke,” said Sandesara, who currently serves on the Board of Trustees for the Medical Center Board. “I need to find it within myself to give Duke the best I have to offer.” Sandesara said he is interested in pursuing a career in health services or health consulting. Although he is currently in the process of interviewing for medical school, Sandesara said he is also considering a career in law. “It’s about offering a young perspective on a very diverse committee,” Sandesara said. “The Board of Trustees deserves to know how students feel about this great place.” Saidi Chen contributed to this article.

Chimi Boyd, assistant director of UNO’s Women’s Center, hopes to make HAVEN more well-known to students. Faculty who have been trained attach a HAVEN sign to their office door.

Duke University Algernon Sydney Sullivan Award 1

Nomination letters are due by March 10,2006

In 2003,Duke University re-joined approximately 50 other Southern universities in presenting the Algernon Sydney Sullivan Award. This award program, sponsored by the Algernon Sydney Sullivan Foundation, recognizes during commencement week one graduating senior and one member of the faculty, staff, or graduate student body of Duke University and Health System for their outstanding commitment to service. The New York Southern Society established the Algernon Sydney Sullivan Awards in 1925 in memory of Mr. Sullivan, a southerner who became a prominent lawyer, businessman and philanthropist in New York in the late nineteenth century. The award seeksTo perpetuate the excellence of character and humanitarian service of Algernon Sydney Sullivan by recognizing and honoring such qualities in others. •

Recognition of Selflessness Generosity of Service Nobility of Character Person of Integrity Depth of Spirituality

Mr. Sullivan was a man who “reached out both hands in constant helpfulness to others.” The guidelines to the Award describe him as an accomplished lawyer, a mediator, a powerful orator, a noted philanthropist, a courageous citizen during perilous times, as well as a deeply spiritual and devoted family man. Duke University is giving this award to a graduating senior and a member of the faculty, staff, or graduate student body who exhibit the qualities of Mr. Sullivan. These qualities of service, character and spirituality are recognized in their practical application to daily living. Nobility of character is a criterion that is defined by the foundation as “when one goes outside the narrow circle of self-interest and begins to spend himself for the interests

of mankind.” The Algernon Sydney Sullivan Award committee desires that this prestigious opportunity for recognition be available to student and employee alike regardless of their role at the University. This ensures that all who make significant contributions to the community and who lead lives of integrity, will be considered as candidates for this unique award.

CITY COUNCIL frompageS

Durham City Council discusses the city's fiscal budget and concerns about crime at Monday's meeting.

BUDGET from page 5 At the same time, Bush proposes to kill or dramatically slash 141 programs for savings of almost $l5 billion. Congress is likely to reject many of the cuts, such as a proposal to kill the Commodity Supplemental Food Program, which provides food aid to the poor. Major initiatives like making Bush’s landmark tax cuts permanent and providing $52 billion in health care tax breaks through 2011 face challenges of their own. Every year, Bush has called for making his 2001

and 2003 tax cuts permanent. Congress has yet to do so. Most of Bush’s tax cuts expire in 2010. Extending them would cost $l2O billion in 2011 and $1.2 trillion from 2012-2016. The White House credits Bush’s tax cuts for fueling economic growth and surging tax revenues despite high fuel prices, last year’s devastating hurricanes and the recession and terrorist attacks of 2001. “Those tax cuts are essential toward sustaining the good economic growth we have now,” said White House Budget Director Joshua Bolten. “The most important thing

The budget plan projects deficits on a downward trajectory, especially when measured against the size of the economy and meets, at least on paper, Bush’s 2004 promise to cut the deficit in half. Then, Bush projected a $521 billion deficitfor that year and promised to cut it in half by 2009. Bush projects a 2009 deficit of $2OB billion, but that depends on Congress accepting all of his spending cut proposals. His budget also leaves out the long-term costs

of occupying Iraq and Afghanistan, which are impossible to predict with certainty. With the increases for the Pentagon, this year’s Iraq and Afghanistan war costs, and new tax cuts for health care, the budget shows that deficits over the five years ending in 2011 would total nearly $1.2 trillion. Democrats charged that the real picture is worse and that Bush was understating future deficits by leaving out major items such as the long-term costs of the Iraq war and by failing to permanently fix the alternative minimum tax so it doesn’t hit more middle-class families.

MOORE from page 4 The discussion and a question-and-answer period were preceded by a screening of Charles Moore: I fight with my camera, a documentary produced by Dan Love, a senior, during his freshman year at Duke. Love also moderated the discussion. Moore explained that the film’s title arose from of an interview several years ago. A reporter, aware of Moore’s experiences as a Golden Gloves boxer and a Marine, asked why he felt threatened in the middle of the violence he photographed. “I don’t fight with my fists anymore,” Moore said he told the reporter. “I fight with my camera.” Moore learned his trade while in the Marine Corps, and he got his first job with the Montgomery Advertiser. He emphasized the role that his father, a Baptist priest, played in cultivating his belief in racial equality when Moore was a boy. ‘You can make a difference, but you have to focus,” Moore told the assembled group. ‘You have to look beyond, both in terms of making a difference and in how the photograph looks through the lens.” In prepared comments and in response to student questions, Korstad and Payne provided historical context for the photos. “For many of the young people in the movement, it still sticks in their craw that these images are too powerful, because people respond to the sheer fact of what was occurring without the images,” Payne said. “If there weren’t photos, you couldn’t get the feds out there to

provide protection.”

Payne also cautioned that although the

photographs are very powerful, they tend to hide the longer story of the Civil Rights Movement, obscuring it with single events made vivid to the public by the lens.

Veteran photojournalist Charles Moore (second from left) discusses the impact of some ofthe photographs he took in the

During his prepared remarks, Korstad questioned the continued social relevance of photojournalism. “Does the camera have the same power it did 40 years ago?” he asked. “I wonder to what extent we have the capability of being shocked today.” Audience questions covered a wide range of topics—from Moore’s relationship with King to the state of the media today. When one student asked if the pervasiveness of the media made it impossible for people to trust leadership now as they did in past days, Korstad demurred. “I think the danger is that we don’t have

the kind of access we did then anymore,” he said. “Journalism today isn’t nearly as good coming out of Iraq as it was in Vietnam. We have people embedded, but they see what the Army wants them to see.” Both the speakers and audience members noted that while the moral issues of civil rights seem to have been extremely clear-cut during the heyday of the movement, many people now find it too difficult to find a clear right and wrong in the contemporary world. The lecture hall was nearly full for the event, and many students stayed after the panel had finished to speak with Moore,

Payne and Korstad “As an African-American student, I was very pleased to see such a diverse turnout,” said Nicole Jackson, a junior. She said she had seen many of Moore’s photos but was unaware of who the photographer was. Responding to Korstad’s remarks, Jackson said she thinks the photographs still retain the ability to appall viewers. “I was personally very shocked by these images, and I’ve seen a lot of them before,” she said. “Also, Rodney King was not that long ago, and Katrina images are very shocking today.”

the means to deliver them,” he said in a response to a question. In Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Secretary-General Kofi Annan said he was still hopeful that Iran will take confidencebuilding measures with the lAEA. “It’s not the endof the road,” Annan said of the Security Council referral. “I hope that in between, Iran will take steps that will help create an environment and confidencebuilding measures that will bring the partners back to the negotiating table." In his brief report, Elßaradei cited E. Khalilipour, vice president of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, as saying: “From the date of this letter, all voluntarily suspended non-legally binding measures including the provisions of the Additional Protocol and even beyond that will be suspended.” Calling on the agency to sharply reduce the number of inspectors in Iran, Khalilipour added: “All the Agency’s containment and surveillance measures which were in place beyond the normal Agency safeguards measures should be removed by mid-February 2006.” Earlier, Russia’s foreign minister warned against threatening Iran after Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld reportedly agreed with an interviewer at the German daily newspaper Handelsblatt that all options, including military response, remained on the table. Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said, “I think that at the current stage, it is important not to make guesses about what will happen and even more important not to make threats.” The Additional Protocol was signed by Iranian officials in 2003, allowing the lAEA to conduct inspections on short notice.

During his tenure at the University, the Belgian native more than doubled research funding from the National Institutes of Health, pushing Duke into a topthree national ranking. As chair of the cardiology department, Goldschmidt helped to create the Duke Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Center, a program that helps improve the diagnostic capability for patients with cardiovascular disorders. At UM, Goldschmidt will oversee the last phase of construction of a Clinical Research Institute and help plan for a university hospital and Biomedical Research Institute, among other initiatives. “I think Dr. Goldschmidt is a perfect match for the University of Miami,” UM President Donna Shalala said in a statement.

“He’s a first-rate leader and a wonderful researcher-clinician who will raise the Miller School to a spectacular new level of international medical and scientific

leadership.” International Atomic Energy Agency Director Mohamed Elßaradei comments on Iran's nuclear program. U.S. Sen. Richard Lugar, R.-Ind., chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, urged the Security Council to impose strict sanctions on Iran if it foils to comply with U.N. resolutions and arms agreements and warned that inaction would greatly increase the chances of military conflict. He nonetheless stressed that the United States favors a diplomatic solution. “Diplomatic and economic confrontations are preferable to military ones,” Lugar said. But he cautioned that “in the field of nonproliferation, decisions delayed over the course ofmonths and years may be as harmful as no decisions at all.”

The Additional Protocol was signed by Iranian officials in 2003 as pressure intensified on Tehran to cooperate with lAEA inspectors probing more than 18 years of clandestine nuclear activities. The protocol gives the agency inspecting powers beyond normal, allowing for inspections on short notice of areas and programs suspected of being misused for weapons activity. North Korea—the world’s other major proliferation concern—quit the Nonproliferation Treaty in January 2003, just a few months before U.S. officials announced that Pyongyang had told them it had nuclear weapons and may test.

Goldschmidt will oversee a staff of more than 7,000 and a budget of more than $9OO million at UM. At Duke, he ran a department with 1,200 staff in 16 divisions and an approxi-

mately $250-million budget. Goldschmidt earned his medical de-

gree from the Universite Libre de Bruxelles and completed his residency and fellowship training in Brussels at Erasme Academic Hospital and in the United States at Johns Hopkins University. Before joining Duke in 2000 he was director of cardiology at The Ohio State University College of Medicine and Public Health. Ryan McCartney contributed to this story.*

Forward Shelden Williams has started sixof the seven games Duke has played against North Carolina in his career, averaging 12.9 points per contest.

In battle for America’s best rivalry, Duke-Carolina is clear winner Today there are two sports rivalries in America that, according to history and hype, stand high above the rest. They are DukeNorth Carolina in college basketball, and the Yankees-Red Sox in professional baseball. To take this a step further, one of these two Jordan rivalries incredible clearly tops the other. As a Duke senior from New Jersey, I have intimately experienced both rivalries, and it is clear which matchup generates sports euphoria better than any other.

koss

With all due respect to Boston and New York, tonight’s contest between the Blue Devils and Tar Heels will showcase what has become the No. 1 rivalry in sports. Here’s why:

1) Proximity. The Dean Dome and Cameron Indoor are eight miles apart. Fenway Park and Yankee Stadium? Try 205 miles apart. Distance is important because it fundamentally affects the interaction between opposing fans and even opposing players. When senior Sean Dockery goes to the grocery store, he is approached equally by haters SEE KOSS ON PAGE 18

Bobby Frasor knows the Duke-North Carolina rivalry better than most, even though he’s never actually participated in a game between the two schools. The freshman will be one of ten players—five each from Duke and UNC —taking part in their first career installment of the rivalry, but he has already approached the game from two vasdy different angles. Frasor, a Blue Devil fan through eighth grade, now starts at point guard for the Tar Heels. The Illinois native said he attended basketball camp at Duke the summer before eighth grade—Eraser’s father helped coach at the camp so Bobby could attend. While he was there, Blue Devil head coach Mike Krzyzewski autographed a magazine cover for the budding star, which Eraser said he still has. Eraser’s situation is differentbecause he switched sides before coming to college, but nearly every player involved in tonight’s game made a special effort to watch Duke play North Carolina as a younger college basketball fan. And each of them said he looks at the game differently as a player. For fans, the relationship between the two programs may be one of hatred—both schools’ fight songs tell their rival to “Go to hell.” But players said the ill-will is absent on the court, characterizing the teams’ relationship as one of respect. This mutual admiration between players from the two programs keeps the action on the court from getting overly physical. No technical fouls have been called in the teams’ last four matchups—emotional contests that were in doubt until each game’s final play. “There is a competitive nature between Duke and North Carolina,” senior forward Lee Melchionni said. “But I think on the court we respect each other—the programs, coaches and players—and from that point they are always competitive but

well-played games.”

It's hard to pick one of these coaches over the other. Every single year they have their squads among the nation's best and this year is no different. The edge, however, has to go to Krzyzewski because he holds a 6-2 record against Williams and this year has more talent to work with.

Duke cruises to win in Blacksburg Currie leads by

Sean Moroney THE CHRONICLE

BLACKSBURG, Va. Playing for the first time since No. 1 North Carolina ruined Duke’s unblemished record, the Blue Devils struggled in an up-and-down battle against a pesky Hokie squad that would not go quiedy. The No. 2 Blue Devils (21-1, 8-1 in the ACC) managed to DUKE Zr take control of the VA.TECH 62 game late in the second half and cruised to a 73-62 victory over Virginia Tech (15-6, 2-6). If there were any lingering effects from Duke’s loss to the Tar Heels, they were not immediately apparent. After hitting a three-pointer from the left side early in the game, guard Monique Currie forced a steal on the defensive end. Pushing the ball up the floor, the senior took it all the way to the hoop for a layup to put the Blue Devils up 7-0 two minutes into the game. Duke’s early momentum dissipated as the half wore on, however, and the Blue Devils managed just three points over the next eight minutes. The back-and-forth struggle continued throughout the first half as Duke could not find away to pull away. “Every time I felt like we were about to blow the game wide open, they made a comeback and kept attacking,” head coach Gail Goes ten kors said. Goestenkors’ frustration with her team’s play began to wear on the coach. After the Blue Devils forced a steal at half-court with 9:30 to play in the first half, they worked the ball up the floor to sophomore guard Wanisba. Smith, who drove to the basket for a layup. A charge call on Smith nullified the two points, however, and Goestenkors adamantly expressed her disapproval of the call to the referees. For her outburst, she was awarded a technical foul, to which she responded by yelling out, “That’s your first good call!” The Blue Devils seemed inspired by Goestenkors’ tirade and regained their early intensity.

The 3,788 Virginia Tech faithful who were in attendance for their match-up with No. 2 Duke were loud and energetic last night, but their intensity was more than matched by Blue Devil senior Monique Currie at Casgame sell Coliseum. analysis In the Blue Devils’ first game after head coach Gail Goestenkofs criticized them for a lack of effort in their loss to UNC, Currie answered the call by flying around the court during her 26 minutes of play. Besides scoring a game-high 21 points—her sixth 20-point game of the season—Currie added six rebounds and three steals. “She’s an All-American for a reason,” Virginia Tech head coach Beth Dunkenberger said. “She’s a great player and just very physical, very strong.” But numbers alone don’t tell the story of Currie’s performance last night. She seemed to be all over the court, always where she needed to be, always a step ahead of the rest. For instance, with 8:47 left to play in the second half, Currie charged to the basket and missed a layup. But she dove on the ground, grabbing the loose ball and punching it through the mass ofbodies to open teammate Mistie Williams, who converted the basket. “I thought Mo did a great job, and we needed her,” Goestenkors said. “Especially early on, I thought she set the tone for us.” She played with a set jaw and look of determination from the start.

“Putting yourself in a chase mode on the road in this league is very difficult.” The barrage of turnovers accentuated Clemson’s offensive struggles. In those same road losses, Clemson made only 8-of-39 three-point attempts and shot a combined 37 percent from the field. The Tigers, who average more than 73 points per game, scored just 59 and 61 in the two games, respectively. “Well, we’re obviously struggling right now,” Purnell said. “One of the reasons is the point we’re at in the schedule. We probably have passed the toughest part and it hurt us.” Four of the Tigers’ last seven contests are at Littlejohn Coliseum, including Wednesday’s battle with Virginia Tech. “In some ways, the schedule’s favorable in that we’ve passed the tough part,” Purnell said. “But that certainly doesn’t mean is going to be easy on out.” —Tim Britton

This time two years ago, Georgia Tech was in the hunt for an ACC regular-season title. This year, the Yellow Jackets are still searching for their third win against a conference opponent and have lost seven straight games in the ACC. And with remaining contests against three of the league’s top four teams, it is not going to get any easier for the struggling Yellowjackets. “We’re obviously trying to stay as upbeat as possible —that’s the only choice we have,” head coach Paul Hewitt said. “Are we disappointed? Absolutely we’re disappointed. Should we be playing better? No question.” If there is any consolation for Georgia Tech, it’s that the team is very young. Twelve of the 14

The ACC announced Monday that the officiating crew that worked Saturday’s Florida StateDuke basketball game has been suspended. The league stated that the technical foul called on FSU’s Alexander Johnson in the second half should not have occurred. Due to the incorrect assessment and their handling of the dead ball technical foul, the officials will be suspended for their next game. Seven of Boston College’s nine ACC games have been decided by four points or less. The Eagles’ four conference losses have all been by a margin of just two points. JJ.

are either freshmen or sophomores. And they seem to be maturing, as the team has started to play more competitively against its conference foes. Georgia Tech came up just short against Boston College Jan. 29 and Virginia Tech Jan. 31, falling to the Eagles by two points and to the Hokies by one. Of the Yellow Jacket’s young players, sophomore forward Ra’Sean Dickey has recently emerged as the team’s greatest offensive threat. Dickey is averaging 14.6 points and 7.8 rebounds in the last eight games while shooting 60-percent from the field over the course of the season. “He still does have some things to work 0n.... He’ll be roster

the first to tell you that,” Hewitt said of Dickey. “But he’s just more prepared for what each opponent’s going to try to do, and I think that’s why you’ve seen his stats improve in the last few games.” One of the criticisms of Dickey’s play since high school, however, is his tendency not to show up for every game. “I think Ra’Sean is a bright enough kid to see that he needs to become more consistent,” Hewitt said. “At the same time, he’s a young player with an awful lot of talent. Again you see improvement and you see him getting better. He’s taking care of the ball better. Over the last eight to 10 ball games, I think he’s done a nice job.” —Meredith Shiner

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 2006117

CURRIE from page 15 into the game, Currie jumped in front of a Hokie inbounds pass and stole it. She then scored an uncontested layup that gave the Blue Devils an early lead. Her consistently aggressive defense allowed the Blue Devils to hold Virginia Tech without a field goal for the last 8:20 of the first half, and her timely scoring kept the Hokies from recapturing the lead in the second half. “In the second half she didn’t score a lot, but then when they made their run, she stepped it up, which she does for us when teams make runs,” Goestenkors said. “She kind of steps up and hits some big shots to make sure the momentum doesn’t change too much.” Currie’s presence helped mask a team performance that Goestenkors again described as lacking intensity. “I’m a little disappointed with our play overall, with our effort overall,” Goestenkors said. The Blue Devils scored nearly twenty points less than their average of 90 per game and committed 20 turnovers—14 of which came in the second half. Virginia Tech’s 20 points offof those turnovers kept Duke from ever running away with the game. The Blue Devils’ other saving grace in the second half was a resurgent Mistie Williams.

We were more focused on running and executing what we were supposed to run.” The Blue Devil’s increased concentration and determination as the game progressed was particularly noticeable in the play of senior forward Mistie Williams. In the first half, Williams was unable to convert on various opportunities down low, and when she got to the free-throw line, she shot an abysmal l-for-6. The second half, however, was a different story.

Williams converted all six ofher shots in the paint and buried her only free throw of to finish the game with 16 points, matching her season high. “After halftime was over, I just let that half go, and I think that is really important, especially if you are not having such a great game,” senior forward Mistie Williams said. ‘You just have to leave it behind.

RIVALRY

from page 13

onto the rivalry to the point where it has become the biggest regular —season matchup of the year nationwide. The success of the two programs is a major reason. In each of the last 120 games between the teams, at least one of them has been ranked in the AP Top 25. “There’s a great deal ofinterest just because of die location,” North Carolina head coach Roy Williams said. “This is a game that gets so much national attention that nothing compares to this game on a national basis.” A lot of the increased intensity comes from the energy created by the fans in the arena and on campus before the game. UNC freshman Tyler Hansbrough said teammate Wes Miller told him that Hansbrough would be able to see how important the Dute-ONC game is from the fans’ excitement during pregame warm-ups. “Fans, players, media, coaches, there’s probably all kinds of stuff'that’s built up over the years,.” 1 Miller said. “And when you see the first Ditke-Carolina game when you come here, vow understand why it is what it is.

“You just see the intensity and the emotion and the passion and you understand a little bit more. It’s kind of hard to put in words.” But while fans might circle the game on their calendars and players might play just a little bit harder, coaches try their best to stop their teams’ from putting too much effort and emotion into just one game. With such a young team, Williams has been especially persistent in his attempts to convince his players that the Duke game is just another conference matchup. At the pregame press conference, Williams told a story about an eight-yearold boy calling into his radio show during the first week of the season asking how he thought UNC matched up with Duke. The coach responded that he “could care less” about die rivalry, but acknowledged its importance to Tobacco Road fans. “Coach told us it’s just like any other game,” Frasor said. “I think he’s just trying to calm us down. [Former Tar Heel] Jackie Manuel’s back in the locker room telling us it’s the Super Bowl around here, the National Championship for some people around here, but in reality' it’s just another ACC game, with just a lot of hype around it.”

PETER GEBHARD/THECHRONICLE

Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said participating in theBlue Devil-Tar Heel rivalry is an honor.

KOSS from page 13 (Carolina fans) and lovers (Duke supporters). When the average Duke fan heads into work in the triangle area, the chances are that the guy sitting to the left shares his preference and the girl one cubicle to the right hates Duke’s guts. 2) No David vs. Goliath factor. The Yankees and the Red Sox, while undoubtedly true rivals, do not satisfy the definition of rivals nearly as well as Duke and UNC. Since 1919,the Yankees have won 26 World Series rings. In 2004, the Red Sox won it all for the first time in 86 years. I hate to- break it to those fans, but it is not a rivalry when one team is so much better so consistently. Duke and North Carolina, on the other hand, have achieved eerily similar success. UNC has four national championships. Duke has three. UNC has 88 NCAA Tournament victories. Duke has 86. UNC’s former coach, the great Dean Smith, is first on the all-time wins list with 879 victories. Duke’s current coach, Mike Krzyzewski, is at 742 and counting. “To have two storied programs this dose, there are more similarities with the two programs than dissimilarities,” Krzyzewski said. “Trademarks have been good kids, playing hard together, playing good defense, and doing it dean but hard, and understanding their places within their universities.... It’s been an honor for me to be a part ofit for this time.” Do you really think Joe Torre would speak so deeply about the Yanks and Sox? 3) These college guys don’t get paid and don’t talk trash through the media. Coach K had something to say about this one too. [lt’s about] the purity of collegiate sport compared to pro, not that there is anything wrong with pro sport,” Krzyzewski said. “But [our] guys aren’t making $25 million or $l3 million or whatever.” If you think the absence/presence of money has no weight on the quality of the rivalries, then you’re nuts. These college guys are playing their hearts out for their institutions, for their fans, and for their teammates. On the other hand, Yankees like A-Rod and Red Sox like Manny Ramirez seem to play for themselves and their wallets. In order to create storylines, players need to talk smack with cameras in front of their faces. And then there is Johnny Damon, who thought so much of the rivalry that he switched from the Sox to the Yanks to make 13 million a year instead of 11 million. Have you seen anyone transfer from Duke to North Carolina recendy? I don’t think so. 4) Only two guaranteed matchups per season. Duke and UNC play two or three times a year, so every time these teams square off, it’s life or death. New York and Boston play 19 times per year—who cares about one game? Plus, the Yankees-Red Sox would mean so much less without the postseason. Bucky Dent, Aaron Boone, David Ortiz, and Curt Schilling have made their mark on the rivalry primarily because of the playoffs. Duke and UNC have never played in the NCAA Tournament. And even when the teams have met in the ACC Tourney, the games have been about Duke vs. North Carolina, the best rivalry in all of sports. “

UNC from page 1 The Blue Devils and Tar Heels split last

year’s two contests. In each game, the home team narrowly escaped with a win,

as the two games were decided by a combined three points. North Carolina, the reigning NCAA Champions, lost their top seven scorers from last season’s team, however, and feature a seven-man rotation that features four freshmen and two walk-ons. With superstars Marvin Williams, Sean May, Raymond Felton and Rashad McCants having departed for the NBA, the Tar Heel freshmen have taken center stage. New to Chapel Hill are point guard Bobby Frasor, wingman Danny Green and stud forward Tyler Hansbrough, all of whom have seen significant minutes. Hansbrough currently leads the defending champions in both scoring and rebounding with 17.8 points and 7.6 boards per game. He will be one of the most dangerous big men Duke’s Shelden Williams will have to guard all season. “[Williams] has to show discipline in playing Hansbrough,” Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “Hansbrough, I think, is not just the Rookie of the Year in our conference, he’s the Rookie of the Year nationally, and I think he’s a firstteam all-conference player.” Williams, the reigning National Defensive Player of the Year, has been dominated by some big men this season. Most notably, Indiana’s Marco Killingsworth dropped 34 points on the senior, and N.C. State’s Cedric Simmons lit him up for 28. Despite the interior struggles, however, Duke was able to shut down the excellent three-point shooting ofboth teams. If the Blue Devils’ perimeter defense can shut down the Tar Heels’ outside

Duke guard JJ. Redlck has scored 14.6points per contest in his seven career games against North Carolina, nearly five points below his career average.

shooting, than it might negate any success Hansbrough has in the paint. “Tyler’s been pretty doggone consistent this season,” UNC head coach Roy Williams said. “It’s important against Duke because they put so much pressure on the perimeter that you have to be able to get the ball to the basket. Tyler has played against som.e very big guys, but I can’t think of a big guy in the country who’s a better defender than [Williams], so he’ll be playing against the best.” Outside the key, the Tar Heels feature a three-point attack similar to that of the Hoosiers and Wolfpack, with five players averaging one or more trifectas per game.

With the return of swingman DeMarcus Nelson from injury and the continued excellent on-the-ball defense of Sean Dockery, the Blue Devils will likely attempt to shut down North Carolina from the outside while not doubling in the post often. The Tar Heels, on the other hand, knows exactly what they have to do to stay in the game against the more experienced Blue Devils—contain Redick. Opponents have made Redick their focus all season and few have been successful. The Duke sharpshooter has been torching the competition all season to the tune of 28.1 points per game.

Memphis’ Rodney Carney, a 6-foot-7 forward, has been the only defender to hold Redick in check for an extended peri-

od of time. In Duke’s 70-67 win over the Tigers Nov. 25, Camey held Redick to his only scoreless half of the season. Roy Williams said he will throw everything he has to try to slow the Duke sniper. “Bobby [Frasor], Wes [Miller], Marcus [Ginyard], Reyshawn [Terry], all of them will get their opportunities,” he said. “In the past you got as close to [Redick] as you could and tried to bother the shot, and he’s worked extremely hard to put the ball on the floor. He’s a completely different challenge.”

was bold. But when the time came to explain that vote, where was the courage of conviction—a characteristic President Brodhead lauded to a room full of nodding heads? One wonders from whence this obvious abstention from “rocking the boat” springs—whether senators and executive board members are truly apprehensive in the face of authority (which they arguably should not be as competent student leaders), or whether they are simply acting rationally. After all, they personally benefit equally from safe public service as they would from risk-taking and altruism. In their dashing business casual, DSG and GPSC came dressed for the job, but left us with the same question a senator asked the president: Just what job is that?

He earned an A+ in nearly every class, applied to transfer to his top choice and was rejected. It was like a blow to the chest.

TUEIsbAV,' FEBRUARY

7, 2006

Behind false confidences Every

college has a few dirty little secrets it keeps hidden in the closet... or in Duke’s case, the bathroom. I transferred to Duke from a “pot school” where it is usually easier to obtain marijuana than alcohol. Even the Princeton Review website makes known the profusion of hippies and weed at Appalachian State. Consequendy, it is a school that watches many freshmen fail out when they & opt to wake-and-bake rather 1*35 than go to class. The student body at Duke seems to be missing this kind of candor when it comes to admallory pickard dressing its problem of eating diary of a transfer disorders. My first week here, I stepped out of the shower mid-day when I heard a girl getting sick in the bathroom. Concerned, I asked her if she needed any help. There was no reply. When I told my roommate about the incident, she told me that it was probably just someone purging after lunch. “Is that... a normal thing here?” I asked surprised at her casual reply. She raised her eyebrows and responded, “Oh, yeah.” I learned that it was not uncommon to come across a girl doing such things in a bathroom at Duke, so I quickly became desensitized. Three months later, I was at the bus stop on a Friday night when I witnessed two girls—one abominably drunk even though it was only eight o’clock—stumble off the bus and walk over to a bench. The drunken girl was mumbling about eating too much and started trying to purge herself right there. Her friend’s response: “We can’t do that in public.” These “supportive” friends disturb me much more than people I see or hear purging themselves. At the gym one day, I heard a girl talking to her friend about a recently failed relationship. She decided she would feel better if she made herself sick there at the gym. “That’s what I did when this happened to me,” her friend said. Since when does friendship entail supporting a mentally and physically degrading spiral into life-threatening illness? Hearts are broken and lives are changed every day, and none of us can control that—much less make it disappear. A girl was looking for a quick fix to her broken heart in the gym, and her diabolical friend convinced her that there was one. There certainly is a feeling of consolation when a friend walks by your side through misery, but this consolation is all smoke and mirrors when you create your own unhappiness. I have discovered there are many myths about college students, including the one about being more independent and thinking for ourselves. This is true to some extent, but I have also found a counterpart to this observation —some people just become more manipulative while appearing independent and, like quicksand, draw everyone around them into their self-defeating lifestyles. Eating disorders are so concealed behind false confidence that it’s hard to tell who falls victim. Illness and sham come hand in hand. Just last weekend my boyfriend and I were walking through a dorm when I heard a purging sound yet again. “I don’t understand,” he said. “What the hell makes those girls so unhappy?” And then I started to think. Manipulative friends aside, what does make so many otherwise intelligent, normal girls succumb to self-starvation and binging? Does walking to class surrounded by girls draped in designer clothes every day create a sense of inferiority? Is there a guy who they honestly think is worth dropping a few pounds for at the expense of their health? And if he is worth it, why would he care in the first place? I may be asking the wrong questions, but the problem still remains. I decided that I’m not going to ignore a girl purging in the bathroom anymore. What kind offriends or community are we to accept something so self-corrupting for such artificial, fleeting objectives? A quick fix is never going to come along for some problems we face in life, and taking the easy way out will render no real solutions. Eating disorders are not fashionable; they are illnesses in the worst sense of the body and the mind, and we as a Duke community should challenge this fraudulent fad out of hiding and away from the mentality of its misled followers. ■

Thank you, Voltaire

the wake of the latest unpleasantness between the Islamic world and the secular West this last week, one thing is certain: seen the last cartoons of Mohammed with a bomb tucked into his turban. Thousands of angry young men from Gaza to Jakarta took to the streets last week to protest the representation of their spiritual leader as a violent hatemon firing Kalashnikovs into the air and bumdavid fink ing French and guest column Danish nags to the emphasize point. Reaction from Western leaders- ran the gamut from conciliating platitude to principled articulation of liberal commitment to free speech. When asked by a BBC reporter whether he regretted running the cartoons, Flemming Rose, culture editor of the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten, responded acidly, “I think asking me that question is like asking a rape victim if she regrets wearing a short skirt.” Rose’s analogy may be somewhat disingenuous short skirts are, after all, generally worn to provoke a more amorous reaction —but one thing is clear: The Danish cartoons were intended to provoke. And for this, we may all owe them a debt of gratitude, the Muslim community not least. Amid all the journalistic martyr poses and political huffing over sensitivity, an important if rather obvious fact is being overlooked: Sometimes the truth hurts. This is not to suggest that the cartoons present us with “truth” in a simple, straightforward way. Mohammed was not a terrorist, as the cartoons suggest (although I find difficult to find any fault in the notion that suicide bombers may not be greeted in the afterlife by a bevy of panting virgins). But what the cartoons do communicate—and this with devastating force—is the perception that many in the West hold of Islamic culture, a perception that has unfortunately been reinforced this past week by Muslim outrage over a provocation that would have attracted more yawns than protests had any other religious group been singled out. And, as many in the United States have very painfully learned in the years since Sept. 11, perceptions have consequences. As a Christian theologian, I find my reaction to the events of this past week strangely mixed. On the one hand, I have it on good authority that the seat of mockers is no place for the righteous. Those cartoons were designed to wound, and wound they did. Part of my response, therefore, must surely be to grieve with those who grieve over the very public defamation of their culture. On the other hand, I am acutely aware that such criticisms can often lead to positive change, even when -

Sometimes they have come from without, as when Francois-Marie Arouet de Voltaire led an insurgency of intellectuals and social activists against the repressive social policies of the Roman Catholic church in eighteenth-century Europe. Their battle ciy: “Ecrasez I’infame!” The “infamous” thing Voltaire was out to “crush” was Christianity itself. In a steady stream of satirical poems, plays and treatises over a period of several decades, Voltaire flayed the religious establishment of his day to the very bone, attacking not only the foibles of greedy prelates and over-zealous inquisitors, but also Christian claims to unique revelation and boldly asserting that Christianity was the only religion on the planet to practice such violent intolerance. On this last point, of course, Voltaire was quite mistaken. But that wasn’t the point. Voltaire was a master satirist, and as such, he knew that slavish fidelity to the facts could often get in the way of making a political point. Voltaire and his fellow philosophies had found a powerful weapon in their war on Christianity: ridicule. Insensitive, disrespectful, inaccurate, arrogant —all the contemporary negative buzzwords apply. But even a distorted image can help us learn things about ourselves we might otherwise never have seen. The fact that Christian churches no longer advance their influence through military conquest or discipline their members by judicial torture is due, at least in part, to the efforts of Christians and nonChristians alike who had the courage to heap scorn and defiance on the sincerely held beliefs of others. These have been painful, humiliating experiences for the church, but Christianity became a bit more Christian because of them. As a non-Muslim, it is not my place to tell Muslims how they ought to react to the effrontery ofunbelievers. In the coming days, Muslims will have to interrogate their own traditions in order to decide how best to respond to these insulting caricatures. Calls for the beheading of the cartoons’ authors bear witness to one kind of reality; calls for a more peaceful response bear witness to another. Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora seemed to have had just this issue in mind—the martyrion of his community—earlier this week when he condemned the violent protests in Beirut: “Islam has nothing to do with any of this, no matter how others disrespected the prophets, about whom God says, ‘We have protected you from those who ridicule.’” Let’s hope he’s right. two
