Richard Brodhead, Duke's ninth president.
New President: An ‘Eloquent Spokesman’ for Higher Education
Heard Around Campus
"The U.S., in spite of its power, must be willing to abide by rules and standards that apply to all states."

--International financier George Soros, in a February address on campus

"In a bingo hall in Davenport, Iowa, I came across a flutist from Japan who played 'Blowin' in the Wind' while we waited for Dennis Kucinich to arrive at an evening rally. She said she had crossed an ocean to play anti-war songs and campaign for the most anti-Bush candidate in the race. I especially enjoyed her version of 'We Shall Overcome.' "

--Senior Justin Walker, in one of his dispatches from the presidential campaign trail he's posting on Duke's website as an independent-study project
"I said, the night you come back and play your first NBA game, you give it back to me, and I'll be there."

--Coach Mike Krzyzewski, on giving a religious medal to former Chicago Bulls point guard Jay Williams '02, whose rehabilitation from a motorcycle accident continues at Duke Hospital
"You have the English major's tale. The English major is the parson. There's the captain's tale. In each tent there is a tent captain. He equates to the knight. I actually have my own tale; I have Aaron's tale, because, you know, Chaucer had his."

--Junior Aaron Dinin, on his book The Krzyzewskiville Tales, inspired by Geoffrey Chaucer, in the Raleigh News & Observer
