...tunes. The beginning of each familiar song evoked spontaneous applause and shouts of encouragement from the eager audience.Despite her tranquil appearance, Jones’s voice alone was anything but. Her grainy voice was startling to a newcomer, reminding me at times of a blonde-hippie version of Missy Elliott. Her lyrics and performance style were incredibly honest, and even as a first- time listener, I felt drawn into her inner circle after the first few songs.Jones later moved to the center of the stage and brought out her band. In contrast to Jones herself, the rest of the band...

The D.A.'s recusal comes as a relief to many, who believe the action was long overdue. "It doesn't excuse everything he's done, by any means," says junior Elliott Wolf, president of the Duke Student Government. "But it shows that perhaps, perhaps, he has some sliver of rationality after all." Other students don't give Nifong that much credit.
