With a grand jury now expected to convene Monday to weigh indictments of two or three of the Duke lacrosse players tied to allegations of raping an exotic dancer, defense lawyers say they fear their clients are being targeted in a setup or sting operation possibly perpetrated by law enforcement. The lawyers have advised the players not to trust or respond to any e-mails sent to each other, one attorney tells Time...
...large amounts of information, Horowitz said. Betts said astronomers had been ill-equipped to receive such a signal until the installation of the new telescope Tuesday, which can detect a billionth-of-a-second flash of light. “There have been small targeted searches, but with this setup...they’ll be able to cover the whole sky, increasing their sky coverage by a factor of 100,000,” Betts said.

Our criticisms are not meant to overshadow or diminish the excellent work done by some individual prefects working against a system almost deliberately setup to thwart their efforts. However, merely because some prefects do good work does not mean the system is not in need of serious change, the kind of change announced this week by the College. We hope that the revamped program will offer a dual social-academic advising service to freshman...
