Heard Around Campus
"Gay? Fine by me."

—On nearly 2,000 T-shirts printed by a group of straight and gay students and given away on campus in an effort to combat the perception that Duke is the most gay-unfriendly campus in the United States, as reported by the Princeton Review

"For $40 billion a year, we've built a Kafka-esque revolving door where our people go into prison, come out, and go right back in. And the American taxpayer is paying for each revolution of this door."

—Eric Schlosser, author of Fast Food Nation and Reefer Madness and Other Tales from the American Underground

"It's not easy. You do the best you can on the front end, reading and researching, and you make your decision. Don't look back. Don't be a judge.... We had a saying at the Lazy B: 'The only thing you get sitting on the fence is a sore crotch.' "

—Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor on making tough decisions during a Q&A with professor Walter Dellinger at the Law School
