duke

Two writings, coming from very different places in the publishing world: the first, a devastating article in the current New Yorker about the Duke Lacrosse scandal and its illumination of hidden cultural realities at that institution; and the second, a piece by Rusty Reno in First Things ranking Duke as the number one institution in which to study theology in the United States. I have little doubt that both articles speak the truth. The sad result of reading them both together, however, is how little connection one seems to have with the other. Read it all here and here.
