Ms. Mangum, who has a history of mental illness, is this week’s tabloid cover-girl. I’m willing to bet that she is also receiving death-threats that are usually associated with such high-profile cases.
Having apologized to the three lacrosse players, Nifong now ought to apologize to her.
P.S. Interesting (and coherent!) response to this week’s events. Interesting responses to said response are in the comment section.
P.P.S. Something else that’s caught my eye – the hazards of Duke. I’m kind of 50/50 on Terry Moran myself, to be honest. I think the lacrosse players recognize how lucky they were to have a support system, that much was evident from the press conference.

Just wondering… how is Marc Lamont’s response more interesting than numerous others?
“As a cultural critic, I was primarily focused on the way that the media focused on the woman’s sexual history and exotic dancer job, as well as their construction of the Duke players as harmless scholar athletes.”
We were certainly reading different media… What *I* read and heard reminded me of Pravda writing about Sakharov. They were the scum of the earth, the epitome of white rich spoiled brats, and she was a student at near by college, moonlighting as exotic dancer. Jemele Hill’s and Susan Estrich’s (last December) columns are indeed moving!
Marc Lamont caught my eye. I like his style.
