Columbia, Duke and the Media By Thomas Sowell
On page 28 of last Sunday's New York Times, right opposite the page where the obituaries were, at the very bottom was a news item almost exactly the size of a 3-by-5 card.
It was a fraction of an Associated Press dispatch about Richard Brodhead, president of Duke University, apologizing for "not having better supported" the Duke lacrosse players last year when they were accused of rape.
When this story first broke last year, it was big news not only on the front page of the New York Times but on the editorial page as well.
