...take some comfort, at least, in the fact that anyone who really dislikes Duke doesn't understand the first thing about the program. To harbor deep-seated animosity for someone like the spectacularly fluid and talented Jason Williams, for instance, is the sign of a cold human heart.

Still, for those of you who got creamed in the stock market last week, here's a little more comfort: you've got company. Lots of it.

...young people need to make every effort to secure their rights.
