Nursing DSG divides over bylaw changes plans Ph.D. Offering own proposal, Jean-Baptiste threatens veto of amendment program

By MOLLY NICHOLSON The Chronicle Tension and confusion pervaded the atmosphere at Duke Student Government’s general body meeting Wednesday night, as some legislators took sides in a heated debate over a proposed amendment to the election bylaw. After discussing the proposal for over an hour and voting three times, legislators approved a new election system, 26 to 13—exactly the required two-thirds majority—for the DSG executive elections three weeks from this week.

As the School of Nursing looks to in-

crease its presence in the University’s research community, the school is forging ahead with plans to institute a doctoral program as early as 2005. Duke’s nursing program, ranked

first in 2000 among schools without doctoral degrees, has finally secured a crucial number of faculty members and plans for new facilities to work toward a doctoral program. “We’ve always felt we’ve needed to get into research, [as] Duke has always been a research institution,” said ChamMary pagne, dean of the School of Nursing.

JUSTIN FORD, executive vice president of Duke Student Government, speaks Wednesday night in favor of requiring a DSG presidential candidate to win a majority of votes cast.

Sophomore Ryan Kennedy presented the new system, called Instant Runoff Voting, as a change to Executive Vice President Justin Ford’s proposed amendment, which would have required the winning presidential candidate to earn a majority or face a runoff against the opponent with the second-most votes. “Any candidate that is strong enough to pass this test is strong enough to lead this organization,” said Ford, who first presented the amendment last month. However, with no DSG president having ever received a majority in the organization’s 10-year history, a runoff would virtually be guaranteed to follow every election. Some students had raised concerns that with voter participation already so low, another election would attract even fewer voters. Under Kennedy’s proposal, students See DSG BYLAWS on page 5

Med school class offers warnings By KELLY ROHRS The Chronicle

Midway through planning to revamp its entire first-year curriculum for fall 2004, the School of Medicine implemented this year Molecules and Cells, a new interdisciplinary class modeled in the direction of the broader curriculum revision. Officials planned the course as the first of three classes that will eventually comprise the first year, each designed to integrate concepts of basic science with one another and add clinical relevance to first-year medical school courses. The class debuted this fall—replacing biochemistry, cell biology and genetics—and has suggested to medical school administrators some of the problems that the new integrated classes may face, particularly in light of questions raised about the quality of the Curriculum Committee’s planning efforts. “Molecules and Cells is a prototype headed in the direction of the new curriculum,” said Dr. Emil Petrusa, associate dean of curriculum assessment. “The plan for Molecules and Cells looked pretty good on paper. It was the implementation that ran into problems.” Calling the problems with organization and congruency standard issues in any first-time

riculum development. Last winter, the professors who coordinated biochemistry, cell biology and genetics—the three classes that have previously comprised the first block of classes for first-year medical students—began discussing integrating the classes into Molecules and Cells. Dr. Mariano GarciaBianco, one of the Molecules and Cells course directors, said the discussions were motivated in part by the professors’ association with the Curriculum Committee, which is overseeing the impending curricular overhaul set for 2004. However, they stemmed primarily from a desire to communicate the overlap of various scientific

fields, he added. “The Curriculum Committee provided a structure and a mandate that this be done,” he said. “But the bottom line is that these classes have been taught together, and the divisions between See MED SCHOOL on page 6

Nation prepares for possible attack Government agencies increase security in response to ‘Code Orange’ terror alert By RON FOURNIER The Associated Press

WASHINGTON

Anti-aircraft

missiles guarded Washington’s skies and Capitol police carried gas masks Wednesday as the nation mobilized to confront a potential terrorist attack. Federal, state and local governments tightened security, anxious Americans stockpiled food and water, and police responded to scores of false alarms, including reports of suspicious vehicles that shut down commuter bridges in Washington and

New York. The nation remained under a Code Orange “high risk” of attack status for a sixth day, and no change was in sight. Counterterrorism officials said

the level of threat information pointing to an imminent attack remained high, but steady. “If given the choice, al Qaeda terrorists will choose attacks that achieve multiple objectives, striking prominent landmarks, inflicting mass casualties, causing economic disruption and rallying support through shows of strength,” C.I.A. Director George Tenet told the Senate Armed

Services Committee. Tenet said he is worried that a new audio message attributed to terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden is a prelude to a strike. “He’s obviously raising the confidence of his people. He’s obviously exhorting them to do more,” Tenet

said. “What he’s said is often followed by an attack.” Meanwhile, U.S. counterterrorism officials were reviewing a transcript of a second purported audio message from bin Laden, but they could not verify it was an authentic message from the terror chief. While the speaker mentions an apparent intention to die in the coming year and uses some rhetoric similar to bin Laden’s, officials said they could not be certain of the speaker’s identity without reviewing the actual recording. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity. Fearing the worst, U.S. officials deSee TERROR ALERT on page 8

Panel cites flaws in shuttle investigation By RICHARD OPPEL New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON The chair of the House panel that oversees the space program complained to NASA’s top official Wednesday that the board investigating the Columbia space shuttle disaster did not have the “independence and latitude” needed to conduct an appropriate inquiry.

The pointed comments made to the NASA adminis-

trator, Sean O’Keefe, by Rep. Sherwood Boehlert, R-N.Y.,

the chair of the House Science Committee, were echoed by a number of lawmakers Wednesday at the first congressional hearing into the destruction of the space

ceming the makeup and authority of the investigative board, which was set up by NASA. But after the hearing, some expressed concern whether NASA officials would really heed them. Their remarks Wednesday show that lawmakers in both parties have become increasingly concerned that the board investigating the disaster remains too closely tied to the space agency to conduct a credible inquiry. Boehlert said the inquiry board’s charter “makes it look like if they want to do something that’s not part of the policy manual of NASA, they’ve got to march over to NASA headquarters and get approval.” Last week, in response to pressure from lawmakers, NASA officials agreed to transfer authority over the investigation to the board itself, which is led by Adm. Harold Gehman, who is retired from the Navy.

He said it only makes economic sense to run a program that will attract enough students—but he added that if demand for other languages, such as French or German, increases, he would like the summer program to accommodate that. “This has been one big experiment, and because it seemed to work so well last summer, we are trying to fine-tune it to make the experience just right,” Thompson said.

amount of time devoted each day to the course, students had better access to help and more time to practice problem areas. However, when those students enrolled in Spanish 63 the following fall, their grades took a slight tip from the summer, even though everyone passed. Students and administrators attributed the drop to the change in classroom dynamics. “It was a big transition from speaking six hours of Spanish a day and then only going to three class periods per week in the fall,” said Kendra Ferguson, a sophomore who enrolled in the program last summer. “On the Monday-Wednesday-Friday schedule, I had to do more outside preparation, and all the information was harder to retain.” The motivation to compress two semesters worth of Spanish into one summer is two-fold. summer, four were athletes. For some, complete immersion in a language is the “I knew the reinstitution of the language requirebest way to gain a sense of real mastery.

cials said. FBI personnel assigned to rapid response teams that would react to any terrorist attacks have been told to have a bag packed for three days’ deployment and put on standby. U.S. Capitol police were told to carry gas masks at all times. They are in a small, handheld black knapsack about six inches long. Every officer has them, including those in plainclothes who provide security for leaders and in the congressional chambers. The weekly FBI bulletin circulated to 17,000 law enforcement agencies urges police to be extra vigilant for possible chemical, biological and radiological attacks. The bulletin asks local officials to consult a CIA handbook on how to respond to dangerous substances should such an attack occur. In addition, the National Infrastructure Protection Center, which assesses and warns about threats to critical U.S. infrastructure, issued an advisory describing a heightened chance of global computer hacking as tensions increase with Iraq. White House security was not noticeably tighter but presidential aides said they were spooked by the intelligence and felt more vulnerable than they had since the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. Many were taking the government’s advice, saving up water and food at home and making plans to meet up with family in the event of an attack. On the so-called bin Laden tape, which was a major source of concern, the voice tells bin Laden’s followers to help Saddam Hussein stage suicide attacks and lure American troops into bloody urban battles to inflict “big casualties.” The speaker said Iraq was governed by socialist “infidels, including Saddam,” but said it was acceptable for Muslims to fight for Iraq because their interests “intersect in fighting against the Crusaders,” or Christians.

Ideally, one should spend as many hours possible immersed in a language,” Paredes said. Ferguson agreed, saying, “It is much easier to learn a language when you have to speak it six hours a day.” Still, even if total immersion may be one of the best ways to learn a language, many find six hours ofclassroom time a day to be daunting. A second reason for making the summer a time for intensive language study was to allow for strategic time management, Thompson explained. With Curriculum 2000 in place, students need or want to explore many more options. Pre-medical students, for example, may use the summer to fulfill the foreign language requirement to make time for other required classes during the regular school year. “We wanted to use the summer purposefully,” Thompson said.

What is DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection? DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection is a form of birth control that is given as an intramuscular injection (a shot) in the buttock or upper arm once every 3 months (13 weeks). To continue your contraceptive protection, you must return for your next injection promptly at the

end of 3 months (13 weeks). DEPO-PROVERA contains medroxyprogesterone acetate, a chemical similar to (but not the same as) the natural hormone progesterone, which is produced by your ovaries during the second half of your menstrual cycle. DEPO-PROVERA acts by preventing your egg ceils from ripening. If an egg is not released from the ovaries during your menstrual cycle, it cannot become fertilized by sperm and result in pregnancy. DEPO-PROVERA also causes changes in the lining of your uterus that make it less likely for pregnancy to occur How effective is DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection? The efficacy of DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection depends on following the recommended dosage schedule exactly (see "How often do I get my shot of DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection?"). To make sure you are not pregnant when you first get DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection, your first injection must be given ONLY during the first 5 days of a normal menstrual period; ONLY within the first 5 days after childbirth if not breast-feeding; and, if exclusively breast-feeding, ONLY at the sixth week after childbirth, ft is a long-term injectable contraceptive when administered at 3-month (13-week) intervals. DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection is over 99% effective, making it one ofthe most reliable methods of birth control available. This means that the average annual pregnancy rate is less than one for every 100women who use DEPO-PROVERA. The effectiveness of most contraceptive methods depends in part on how reliably each woman uses the method. The effectiveness of DEPO-PROVERA depends only on the patient returning every 3 months (13 weeks) for her next injection. Your health-care provider will help you compare DEPO-PROVERA with other contraceptive methods and give you the information you need in order to decide which contraceptive method is the nght choice for you. The following table shows the percent of women who got pregnant while using different kinds of contraceptive methods. It gives both the lowest expected rate of pregnancy (the rate expected in women who use each method exactly as it should be used) and the typical rate of pregnancy (which includes women who became pregnant because they forgot to use their birth control or because they did not follow the directions exactly).

What if I want to become pregnant after using DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection? Because DEPO-PROVERA is a long-acting birth control method, it takes some time after your last injection forits effect to wear off. Based on the results from alarge study done in the United States, for women who stop using DEPO-PROVERA in order to become pregnant, it is expected that about half of those who become pregnant will do so in about 10 months aftertheir last injection; about two thirds of those who become pregnant will do so in about 12 months; about 83% of those who become pregnant will do so in about 15 months; and about 93% of those who become pregnant will do so in about 18 months after their last injection. The length of time you use DEPO-PROVERA has no effect on how longtt takesyou to become pregnant after you stop using it What are the risks of using DEPO-PROVERA ContraceptiveInjection? I .Irregular Menstrual Bleeding The side effect reported most frequently by women who use DEPO-PROVERA for contraception is a change in their normal menstrual cycle. During the first year of using DEPO-PROVERA, you might have one or more of the following changes: irregular or unpredictable bleeding or spotting, an increase or decrease in menstrual bleeding, or no bleeding at all. Unusually heavy or continuous bleeding, however is not a usual effect of DEPO-PROVERA; and if this happens, you should see your health-care provider right away. With continued use of DEPO-PROVERA, bleeding usually decreases, and many women stop having periods completely. In clinical studies of DEPO-PROVERA, 55% of the women studied reported no menstrual bleeding (amenorrhea) after I year of use, and 68% ofthe women studied reported no menstrual bleeding after 2 years of use. The reason that your periods stop is because DEPO-PROVERA causes a resting state in your ovaries. When your ovaries do not release an egg monthly, the regular monthly growth of the lining of your uterus does not occur and, therefore, the bleeding that comes with your normal menstruation does not take place. When you stop using DEPO-PROVERA your menstrual period will usually, in time, return to its normal cycle. 2.60ne Mineral Changes Use of DEPO-PROVERA may be associated with a decrease in the amount of mineral stored in your bones. This could increase your risk of developing bone fractures. The rate of bone mineral loss is greatest in the early years of DEPO-PROVERA use, but after that, it begins to resemble the normaT rate of age-related bone mineral loss. 3.Cancer

You should discuss this with health-care provider 4.Unexpected Pregnancy Because DEPO-PROVERA is such an effective contraceptive method, the risk of accidental for women who get their shots regularly (every 3 months [l3 weeks]) is very low. pregnancy while there have been reports of an increased risk of low birth weight and neonatal infant death or other health problems in infants conceived close to the time of injection, such pregnancies are uncommon. If you think you may have become pregnant while using DEPO-PROVERA for contraception, see your health-care provider as soon as possible. sAllergic Reactions Some women using DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection have reported severe and potentially life-threatening allergic reactions known as anaphylaxis and anaphylactoid reactions. Symptoms include the sudden onset of hives or swelling and itching of the skin, breathing difficulties, and a drop in blood pressure. your

d.Other Risks Women who use hormone-based contraceptives may have an increased risk of blood clots or stroke. Also, if a contraceptive method fails, there is a possibility that the fertilized egg will begin to develop outside of the uterus (ectopic pregnancy). While these events are rare, you should tell your health-care provider if you have any of the problems listed in the next section. What symptoms may signal problems while using DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection? Call your health-care provider immediately if any of these problems occur following an injection

of DEPO-PROVERA:

sharp chest pain, coughing up of blood, or sudden shortness of breath (indicating a possible clot in the lung) sudden severe headache or vomiting, dizziness or fainting, problems with your eyesight or speech, weakness, or numbness in an arm or leg (indicating a possible stroke) severe pain or swelling in the calf (indicating a possible clot in the leg) unusually heavy vaginal bleeding severe pain or tenderness in the lower abdominal area persistent pain, pus, or bleeding at the injection site What are the possible side effects of DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection? I .Weight Gain You may experience a weight gain while you are using DEPO-PROVERA. About two thirds of the women who used DEPO-PROVERA in clinical trials reported a weight gain of about 5 pounds during the first year of use. You mav continue to gain weight after the first year Women in one large study who used DEPO-PROvERA for 2 years gained an average total of 8.1 pounds over those 2 years, or approximately 4 pounds per year Vfomen who continued for 4 years gained an average total of 13.8 pounds over those 4 years, or approximately 3.5 pounds per year Women who continued for 6 years gained an average total of 16.5 pounds over those 6 years, or approximately 2.75 pounds per yean 2.other Side Effects In a clinical study of over 3,900 woman who used DEPO-PROVERA for up to 7 years, some women reported the following effects that may or may not have been related to their use of DEPO-PROVERA: Irregular menstrual bleeding, amenorrhea, headache, nervousness, abdominal cramps, dizziness, weakness or fatigue, decreased sexual desire, leg cramps, nausea, vaginal discharge or irritation, breast swelling and tenderness, bloating, swelling of the hands or feet, backache, depression, insomnia, acne, pelvic pain, no hair growth or excessive hair loss, rash, hot flashes, and joint pain. Other problems were reported by very fewof the women in the clinical trials, but some of these could be serious. These include convulsions, jaundice, urinary tract infections, allergic reactions, fainting, paralysis, osteoporosis, lack of return to fertility, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolus, breast cancer or cervical cancer If these or any other problems occur during your use of DEPO-PROVERA, discuss them with your health-care provider Should any precautions be followed during use of DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection? / Missed Periods During the time you are using DEPO-PROVERA for contraception, you may skip a period, or your periods may stop completely. If you have been receiving your DEPO-PROVERA injections regularly every 3 months (13 weeks), then you are probably not pregnant However if you think that you may be pregnant see your health-care provider 2.iaboratory Test Interactions If you are scheduled for any laboratory tests, tell your health-care provider that you are using DEPO-PROVERA for contraception, Certain blood tests are affected by hormones such as •

•

DEPO-PROVERA.

Interactions

Cytadren (aminoglutethimide) is an anticancer drug that may significantly decrease the effectiveness of DEPO-PROVERA if the two drugs are given during the same time.

4. Mothers Although DEPO-PROVERA can be passed to the nursing infant in the breast milk, no harmful effects have been found in these children. DEPO-PROVERA does not prevent the breasts from producing milk, so it can be used by nursing mothers. However to minimize the amount of DEPO-PROVERA that is passed to the infant in the first weeks after birth, you should wait until 6 weeks after childbirth before you start using DEPO-PROVERA for contraception. How often do I get my shot of DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection? The recommended dose ofDEPO-PROVERA is 150 mg every 3 months (13 weeks) given in a single intramuscular injection in the buttock or upper arm. To make sure that you are not pregnant at the time of the first injection, it is essential that the injection be given ONLY during the first 5 days of a normal menstrual period. If used following the delivery of a child, the first injection of DEPO-PROVERA MUST be given within 5 days after childbirth if you are not breast-feeding or 6 weeks after childbirth if you are exclusively breast-feeding. If you wait longer than 3 months (13 weeks) between injections, or longer than 6 weeks after delivery, your health-care provider should determine that you are not pregnant before giving you your injection of DEPO-PROVERA.

dude who makes vibrators the market for that special Valentine's Day gift? Have a burning question about vibrators? Don't know who to turn to? Relax, Recess has your back. Intrepid Music Editor Macy Parker contacted Mr. Jesse Crossen, a design student at N.C. State who is currently working on a vibrator prototype, and got the low-down on makes and models, modern feminism and flanges

Any tips on what makes a vibrator good for someone in the market? Are there any basic categories to be aware of? A good vibrator should fit the purpose you have in mind for it. There are some vibrators specifically for external (clitoral or penile) stimulation, and others that can also be used for internal (vaginal or anal) stimulation. Portability can be a criterion —usually there is a tradeoff between

materials like silicone, which is quite expensive and luxurious, vinyl, which is cheaper but must be cleaned carefully to avoid bacteria, and plastic, which is cheap, durable,

and fairly cleanable. Also, I must mention safety—always clean your ;oys, always use a condom when sharing, and never use a vibrator for anal play that does not have flanged base. Price is a big concern for us >oor students, but I think the quality of the experience is based more on a playful and ixploratory attitude than on an pensive piece of equipment Have you done any

How will the vibrator you're designing be different? What I have noticed about the vibrator market is that it seems to be separated into two extreme camps. On one side, you have the "personal massagers" that you might find in K-mart, which are marketed just like appliances, with a clean and white

aesthetic. On the other side, you have the sex toys, which are marketed like smut, with garish colors and silicone-enhanced porn stars on the box. I think it is characteristic, of American culture to divide sex this way, between clinical and dirty, virgin and whore. I believe that a middle ground exists and is very powerful, but it is not very well represented in the media or in the world of products. That is why I am designing a vibrator that will be based on modern feminist ideals and will stand at the intersection of smart and sexy. How did your fellow design students react to your project idea? I am getting a really positive response from my peers, and I think this is precisely because the project is out of the ordinary. My friends are helping me out tremendously with good ideas, and some of them have volunteered to test drive the prototypes. I want this to be a collaborative, effort as much as possible 1 9V

RECESS^ICg^STn-^

Driven to Cynicwm This was written last year in response to the abysmal state of Duke's dating scene. Since then, Danielle's own luck has changed, but her opinion on the culture still remains the same:

am disappointed. Three years into my college career, have yet to experience the thrilling dating life had so hoped to find in the Gothic Wonderland. When arrived on campus freshman year, could almost taste the romance in store for me: long, meaningful walks through the Duke Gardens, Friday night dinners and a movie (possibly followed by a soda or a Coke float), giddy introductions between my family and that of some charming new boyfriend, and oh, so much more. Three years later, my naivete has been replaced by an often frightening sense of cynicism, and the rose-colored glasses I once wore have begun to cast a more vomit-colored hue over my idealistic fantasies. To put it bluntly, I've had enough. Perhaps my disappointment would be easier to bear if I were not a formerly romantic idealist, but idealism aside, I have experi-

enced dating disasters here at Duke that even the most hard-nosed cynic would find traumatic.There was the time I took a guy to a sorority semiformal, and he managed to get so intoxicated that he began undressing himself at the dance, fighting all attempts to re-clothe him. Or the other semiformal at which my date's friend thought it would be hilarious to rub birthday cake all over my head. And I'll always remember the time 1 left my date alone for a few minutes and came back to find him physically fighting with someone else's date. Forget about chivalry and romance —my dates have seemed to lack even a basic knowledge of manners. Would Tom Flanks have publicly undressed in Sleepless in Seattle ? Would Patrick Swayze have mashed frosting into Baby's curls while they dirty danced? Would Richard Gere have idiotically

socked some other party guest while he wined and dined his pretty woman? Reality can be tough, but we all know that Duke is not quite reality—and in terms of dating, it is its own separate hell. I've heard from some of my coupled-up girlfriends that romance does exist on this campus, but whatever this strange breed of Duke romance is, it is foreign to me. Yet I have never been one to wallow in my sorrows. With a year left to go, I figure that I might as well channel my frustrations and try to gain something from my

countless weekends of singledom. 1 have therefore decided to view my role within the Duke dating scene not as an active member, but as an outside observer—a cultural anthropologist, if you will, attempting to understand and, I hope, to find humor in a dating world which in no way lives up to those portrayed in the numerous romantic comedies I watch alone in my room each weekend. Take the last sorority event I attended. It was supposed to be a "crush party" in which boys whom the girls have secretly invited (or "crushed") show up so the girls can try to make something happen. As I attended this event with my new cultural anthropological identity, I couldn't help noticing some curious details that, well, lessened the romantic atmosphere of the place. First of ail, there was the mechanical bull near the center of the venue, on which drunken girls and dirty old men alternated taking rides. No matter how deep in a conversation you were, you couldn't get the image of the gyrating bull out of your peripheral vision. In addition, a pho-

tographer was hired to take pictures that the sorority members can later purchase to commemorate the event. In and of itself, this concept is quite sweet; the photographer, at this particular event, however, seemed so eager that she repeatedly forced guests into extremely awkward situations in which they found themselves posing, arm-in-arm, with people and often "crushes" they had just met. And finally, in addition to other situational obstacles, there were the crushes themselves. Overconfident with the knowledge that some female in the room had requested their presence, many of the crushes were standoffish and snobby, intimidating the girls and defeating the entire purpose of the event. From a cultural anthropological perspective, I had to wonder, "Why do the women of Duke subject themselves to such stupidity?" Because, my friends, we have no other options. Although 1 am writing from the perspective of someone involved in the greek social scene, 1 have been told that Duke's dating scene (or the lack thereof) is more or less the same across all social boundNot to say that all social groups on campus have h parties and formals, etc., but simply that the attics adopted by (many of) the men at Duke are fairly isistent. The attitudes are ones of apathy and pas'eness, as well as total disregard for the inflated, :arry-eyed notions of romance many Duke women nitially possess. At Duke, it is so rare for a male student to ask a female out on a date that, if she is (miraculously) asked, the girl often does not know how to respond. On the few real dates I have been on throughout my time at Duke, the atmosphere was so tense and formal that I became immediately turned-off, longing for the laid-back and comfortable parties in which men and women intermingle with mutual disrespect. Unless the entire male student body decides to make a mass statement and begin asking girls out on dates on a regular basis, this Catch-22 of Duke dating will remain in place. ***

During a lunch conversation last year, some friends and I jokingly came up with a sneaky plan to trick the guys at Duke into dating us. Each time a guy made a plan with us —either to study or grab lunch or whatever—we would answer his invitation with, "Oh, like a date?" For instance, if the guy said something like, "Hey, can I meet with you at the library tomorrow to copy your notes from class?" we would respond with, "Sure, like a date?" Our plan predicted that, flustered by this inappropriate redefining of a simple get-together, the guy would not know how to respond and, before he knew it, would find himself on a "study date" with a girl. Once the everyday use of the word "date" had infiltrated the male vocabulary, men would no longer need our help, and the women of Duke would reap the benefits of a whole new way of life. We never had the guts to implement the plan. Despite the three years of dating misery that lie behind me, I am learning to like my new cynical personality. I can watch romantic comedies and laugh at the silly characters and contrived plots. I can see through any pickup line and respond to its deliverer with hostile sarcasm. I feel protected and calloused—with my expectations on the ground, there is no room to fall. And yet, I would hate to come across as too bitter. Guys don't like that, right? —Danielle Friedman

dents having any fun whatsoever? Well, Recess was curious (or perverted) and decided to apply their skills In math and science to the masses of West Campus. We wanted to know what Duke students were doing (or not doing) behind closed doors. And we're not talking about drinking games that's right, the horizontal mambo, the showcase showdown, SEX. Who's having? Who's not? If USA Today can throw around statistics as much as Larry King remarries, why can’t Recess? So, we resurrected the now defunct Statistics 101 survey. A statistics professor's nightmare, we traded in "perfect randomness" for that of ''volume'' and passed out about two-hundred surveys around campus haunts. We asked the question: Are Duke students relieving their frustrations and maintaining a healthy sex life? Here are the results —all in a nice, compact survey. —

And it was fantastic: You can sample many dishes, and everyone has equally abysmal breath, so you can hook up afterward devoid of fear.

Dinner and a. Movie

*The Quiet America I

Michael Caine hot or not? Well, can't exactly answer that question, but apparently Brendan Fraser is hotter, or at least that is the opinion of the Vietnamese woman that they both lust after in The Quiet American. Selfadvertised as a thriller and opening locally this weekend, this movie is often interesting, but never quite thrilling or compelling enough to hold its audience An adaptation of a Graham Greene novel, The Quiet American tells a kind of prelude story to the American involvement in the Vietnam War. Michael Caine's performance, as Thomas Fowler, a British journalist living in Saigon in the early 'sos, is certainly Oscar-worthy. His seemingly happy and routine lifestyle becomes more complicated when friendly young American Alden Pyle (Fraser) shows up and catches the eye of Fowler's mistress Phuong (DoThi HaiYen). As local violence becomes more severe and Phuong leaves him for Pyle, Fowler, seemingly at the same time, becomes more suspicious of the increasing American presence in the region, and of Pyle's own work in Vietnam. Before seeing this film I was prepared to recommend it as a great date movie for Valentine's Day weekend. I must have been fooled by the previews, for I was expecting a more romantically developed story with careful attention to the three characters involved in the love triangle. Instead, this personal conflict becomes overshadowed by the political conflicts of the •

country, and the effect is a little disappointing Phuong's beauty and magnetism becomes immedia ly apparent, but her dialogue and screen time are so limited that one still wonders why these two men would go to such lengths in competition over her. A more insight into her psyche as a Vietnamese woma being torn in multiple directions would have gone a way in making The Quiet American a more believabl

love story I must say, however, that 1 did gain a new perspec tive on Vietnamese history through seeing this movie—the implication of an American government's involvement with early guerrilla tactics is an oftenignored aspect of the conflict. But politics, love and other personal crises seem to enter and exit the narrative too casually, ultimately making this an unfulfilling experience. The Quiet American simply spreads itself too thin, and not even the great Michael Caine can save it from mediocrity.

Say Anything

—Jacob Usner

Lust inParadise Take a mesmeric romance, add the vistas of Kauai, captured by the classically-trained auteur Ron Jeremy, and finally throw in brilliant performances by the finest artistes and you have Lust in Paradise. It's the perfect (raunchiest) motion picture (pom) to watch (lust over) amorously (despondently) with your beau (yourself) on Valentine's Day (hellish day of loneliness). Dillion Day's violent, yet inspired hip movements evoke timeless performances by legends like

Heston or Hanks, while Charmane's roll as the agile "Bikini Babe #3" is indeed stirring. Evocative camera work effectively juxtaposes contorted and seemingly painful expressions with stunning and exultant landscapes in order to allude to the famous Spanish proverb: "Where there is love there is pain." And, nevermind the grainy picture or horrific overdubbing; they are both simply implied allegories stressing the complexities of achieving true love. Don't worry; your girlfriend won't actually notice its "porn," because she doesn't actually "exist." —Scott Hechlnger

Duke faces tough contest at Wake for ACC lead By

As the Duke bus barrels down Interstate-40 towards Winston-Salem tomorrow afternoon, the team will be staring at a pivotal point in its season. Having lost their last three ACC road games, the Blue Devils (16-3, 6-3 in the ACC) have been streaking downward. However, thanks to a flurry of upset losses in the ACC coupled with victories over North Carolina and Clemson, Duke is in a position to gain possession of first place from the Demon Deacons (16-3, 62) if it can muster a win out of Lawrence Joel Coliseum. “Every game in the conference will be a huge game because the standings are so close,” newly named captain Nick Horvath said. “We want to go out and play a great game on the road. We’re really jacked up and ready to go.” Duke’s lack of intensity on the road has hurt it earlier this season, and Wake Forest’s home crowd will certainly not let up Thursday night. The Demon Deacons are undefeated at home this year, including a win over Maryland. “For one reason or another...we don’t have momentum on the road,” Horvath said. “There have been little shifts that push the momentum for the other team.” Wake Forest forward Josh Howard, leading candidate for ACC player of the year honors, leads the league in scoring at over 19 per game. As a versatile wingman, Howard is also able to sneak inside and grab 8.5 rebounds a contest. The Blue Devils have only one answer

for Howard—Dahntay Jones. “He’s [Howard] the best player in our league,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “He’s a beautiful player to watch on both ends of the court. Everyone talks about his offense, but he’ll guard whoever is hot.” His defensive abilities have been proven in the past, as he held Howard to 13 points in a 74-55 Duke win a month ago. He will surely get the matchup a second time with Wake Forest’s big man on campus. “I’m excited [to guard Howard],”

Jones said. “It’s an opportunity to prove ourselves on the road. It’s not a personal thing, I’m just excited to go down there and try and get a win.” Even if Jones can secure Howard, the Demon Deacon’s second offensive threat is exactly where the Blue Devils usually come up short. Vytas Danelius, a sophomore from Lithuania, is a bruser inside who muscles his way around the basket but can use his soft touch from outside the paint. Eric Williams, Danelius’ partner in the paint, is an undersized center, as are most of the Duke big men. The Blue Devils should have little difficulty in containing Williams, but they will have to strap Danelius with early fouls just as they did in the last meeting. The backcourt of both teams has played consistently, but Wake Forest’s guards have the luxury of feeding the ball inside and to Howard on the wing. The Blue Devils must penetrate in the See WAKE FOREST on page 12

Blue Devils look to stop Georgia Tech’s trio of shooters By

ROBERT SAMUEL The Chronicle

The women’s basketball team (22-1,10-0 in the ACC)

looks to remain undefeated in the ACC

against hungry

Georgia Tech (15-7,4-6) Thursday at 7 p.m. in Cameron

Indoor Stadium.

The Yellow Jackets, who started the season 11-1, are

beginning to hit their stride again while hoping for an NCAA tournament bid, a proposition that scares Duke head coach Gail Goestenkors. “They have been playing really well,” she said. “They have won four of their last five games. A win over us would really go a long way as far as getting into the NCAA tournament. They are a very dangerous team.” Contrasting with the silky smooth, skill-oriented

Blue Devils, Georgia Tech relies on grit and physical play. The Yellow Jackets are led by center Sonja Mallory, who is the ACC’s second leading scorer and rebounder, averaging 17.7 points and 9.8 rebounds

LINDSAY HARDING will be a huge asset for Duke as she boasts immense speed and strong penetration.

per game. “They have one ofthe best, if not the best, post players in the league in Sonja Mallory” Goestenkors said. “She’s very tough to defend on the low block.” Now that Duke’s freshman guard Lindsey Harding has joined the starting lineup, the proposition of stop-

ping Mallory becomes more difficult as the Blue Devils will have less of a height advantage at the start of the game. Although the insertion of Harding makes Duke smaller, it also allows the team to be much quicker and more aggressive. These traits should help the Blue Devils avoid the slow starts that have plagued the team all season long, most notably in its only loss of the season against Connecticut. “We decided to go small and quicker,” Harding said. “Hopefully we will create some turnovers and get our offense going.”

The Blue Devils trailed the Yellow Jackets at half-

time on their Jan. 13 meeting, but a late run coupled with 17 second half points from Alana Beard led Duke to a 79-59 win. The Blue Devils do not expect to have another slow

start tomorrow.

“They are going to be gunning for us tomorrow night,” Duke forward Sheana Mosch said. “We’re going to have to be ready.” Georgia Tech’s second leading scorer, Fallon Stokes, will also give Duke problems. Playing the swing-guard See GEORGIA TECH on page 12

Cass, Mitchell earn key decisions over Campbell 29 The Blue Devils did not just avenge last 6 year’s one-point loss to Campbell Campbell last night in Cameron Indoor Stadium, they wanted everyone watching to forget it even happened. Fresh off their first ACC victory in six seasons, Duke (9-7) trampled Campbell 29-6, winning eight of 10 matches against the Camels for the Blue Devils’ ninth dual meet victory in its last 10. “We lost to this team last year by a one-point technical call,” head coach Clar Anderson said. “So I really lit a fire under them, but there’s no doubt that they had confidencefrom the win over Maryland.... It’s starting to come together.” Although the final team score was a

two points or less. One hundred eighty four-pound senior Tom Cass started for the Blue Devils, taking Campbell’s Josh Hocum down four times for an 11-3 major decision, giving Duke a 4-0 lead that it would not relinquish. The Blue Devils won their first five matches en route to a 16-0 advantage. Andrew Herbert, wrestling at 197 pounds, and heavyweight Roy Williams followed Cass with decisions to give the Blue Devils momentum heading back down to the lightweights. After Duke won at both 125 and 133 pounds, the Camels finally got onto the scoreboard at 141 pounds when Adam Bricker scored a 10-3 decision over the Blue Devils’ Adam Benitez. Bricker scored a pair of takedowns in the first two periods, notching in the first of two

Duke

2 team was supposed to be all about pitching in 2003. And with Kevin Thompson returning to the hill after a shoulder injury forced the 2001 staff ace to sit out last season, the climb up to the top ofthe imposing ACC was supposed to be a bit less grueling. None of those promises were fulfilled yesterday, as Thompson could not get through a five-run second inning in his second outing of the year, surrendering four runs along with a wild pitch and his own throwing error before exiting an inning and a third into the Blue Devils’ (2-2) 14-2 dismantling at UNC-Wilmington (2-3).

“He threw well on Saturday against Cincinnati and only threw about 55 or 58 pitches, so we wanted to bring him back and see what he could do,” head coach Bill Hillier said ofThompson (0-2). “It was tough, but his line doesn’t do him justice. We made errors, and even though he made ofthem, those 20- or 30-mile-anhour winds were pretty tough.” In its first road game of the year, Duke could not muster much on the offensive end, either. Before the Seahawks blew things open in the bottom of the second, the Blue Devils had the bases loaded with no outs when Drew Jerdan grounded into a five-twothree double play and Senterrio Landrum struck out to squash the threat. Though Landrum would redeem himself with a

two-RBI single to the left field gap in the sixth, it was not enough to make up for the Blue Devils’ 14 strikeouts and 12 runners left on base, nine of whom were in scoring position. Duke even ran UNCW starter Chris Coughlin’s pitch count over 100 by the fifth inning. The Seahawks would tack on eight more runs, and two homers, in the final three innings to run away with a game where Duke played with a sloppiness

characteristic of the fragile, inexperienced team they do not want to be this season. “The guys aren’t frustrated but probably upset because Wilmington is a team we thought we could and that we can beat,” Hillier said. “They just got the better of us today. We did not get the job done, and we have to get ready and regroup.”

Since 1997, the Blue Devils have beaten Wake Forest 14 consecutive times, a curse that will be hard to break after the resurgence of Duke this past week. ‘We have a very unusual week this week and I’m not sure anyone else has this,” Krzyzewski said. “We play a Thursday night away game and then a Saturday night game away.

Mitchell hit nearly identical low single-leg takedowns near the edge of the mat in the first period, amassing 1:34 of riding time in the opening frame. Rees was completely overwhelmed from the start, and gave up three more takedowns as Mitchell dominated him for all seven minutes.

The Chronicle Curriculum changes Changes to the medical school curriculum are a step in the right direction for the School of Medicine as it aims to update its teaching for the 21st century

Duke’s

School of Medicine is clearly one of the best medical schools in the nation, with a superb faculty that produces excellent research. But other than its superior quality in scholarship, the medical school is also noteworthy for its rather unique curriculum, which differs from the curriculum of almost every other top medical school. However, the current curriculum has been in place since the 19605, and it is time for the medical school to revisit how it educates future doctors and make changes to update the curriculum to reflect both the current state of medicine and the current views on how doctors should best be trained. Recently released plans for a revised curriculum promise to maintain many ofthe elements that make Duke’s curriculum so unique, in particular a third year that is almost entirely unconstrained, leaving students free to do their own research. The new curriculum will require all students to write a thesis during this third year, a change that promises to make students more accountable for their work during that year and to encourage the best possible research from students. Students should make the most of this opportunity, perhaps with the goal of ultimately getting their theses published. As always, the medical school faces the challenge of balancing the desire and need to train doctors as practitioners and to train the next generation of medical researchers. The thesis requirement seems to promote research, but other elements of the curricular reorganization place more emphasis on elements like applications to human pathology and more organ-based medicine, both of which train students as practitioners. One caution is that the medical school’s Curriculum Committee seems to have some internal rifts about how it should do its job and the pace of the work. Hopefully, these internal rifts can be smoothed over as the curriculum planning enters its final phase. Overall, the medical school’s plans are a welcome revision of a unique curriculum that maintains Duke’s distinctive flair. However, it is not the curriculum that makes a great medical school. It is great faculty and research —and the ability to attract the very best students —that make a medical school great, and Duke will continue to be able to do this well into the future.

Cameron Crazies are not living up to tradition If you tented for the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill game, you heard this ceaseless refrain all of Monday and Tuesday nights from a group of drunken upperclassmen. “Wheeere aaaare the Craaaaazieees?” The question did not resonate with me until the Clemson game on Sunday. The revelation came at gametime when there were empty seats in the student section for an ACC game. Empty bleachers! The evening did not improve; Cameron Indoor Stadium was quiet all night. And the sing-song question came back to me: Where are the Crazies? It should never be anything less than painfully loud in Cameron. Then I saw students leaving with two min-

utes left in the game, and I knew: The Cameron Crazies are gone. It’s been true all year: With the exceptions of the of second half the

University of Connecticut game and the last ten minutes of the UNC game, the

entity. Duke students have become mere spectators at the basketball games, undeserving of the title of

fans used to set the bar, to define fanaticism in college sports, but now the ugly truth is that we’ve become average. Average fans show up 15 minutes prior to gametime and leave when the outcome is sure; Crazies are there from the first warm-up shot to the alma mater. Average fans wait for

Dahntay Jones to wave his arms to make noise; Crazies lose their voices by halftime. Average fans scream for the cameras; Crazies scream for no reason at all. Average fans expect victo-

‘Priority parking’ for working students is necessary Five nights out of the week, I leave my dorm room on Main West to walk to the back ofthe Blue Zone. Every night at midnight, when I return from work, I am forced to drive in and out of the closest parking lots, where I see the same cars which haven’t been pulled put of their spots in the last week. The time it takes me to go to my car and back nears 30 minutes and has become a dreaded ordeal. Last night was a later night than usual—l returned from work at 1 a.m., and fortunately I found a student parking in the last lot at the same time as me. He said he

worked in Cary two nights a week and was also annoyed that after many ofthe cars in the closest lots were driven to school, they were probably moved no more than once a month. Passing the same parked cars as always, the student walked me up to main campus so that I did

not have to walk all alone. After all, the emergency phones cannot do much good for you if you are all alone and being attacked.

I propose a policy that gives students with significant off-campus activities “priority parking” so that they are not forced to walk alone late at night. A lottery

for numbered parking spots would be quite simple, allowing students who leave the campus regularly to return to campus from the Blue Zone in a safe and fair manner. I am a 20-year-old woman who is tired of constantly fearing late-night parking in the back of the Blue Zone. Granting “priority parking” is a straightforward policy and safety measure that will allow students who must find jobs off campus, to return back to their school in a risk-free and convenient fashion.

Commentary

The Chronicle

Few things in my professional life have filled me with as much fear as a recent invitation to speak at a symposium at Cold Spring Harbor Labs—the Mecca of American genetics. The occasion was a gathering of geneticists—including most of the architects of the human genome project-brought together to share research on human genetic variation and the genetic

Steven Churchill Commentary basis of human disease processes. I was one of a handful of paleoanthropologists, scientists who study the fossil record of human evolution, invited to speak. On the flight to Long Island, I questioned the wisdom in accepting the invitation; my feelings cycled between a nagging dread and a morbid wish for a midair mechanical failure. My trepidation stemmed from more than the thought of making conversation with molecular geneticists or being a “white-knuckle” public speaker—it came mainly from uncertainty and insecurity: What could I possibly have to say that would be relevant, or of interest, to a large auditorium of some of the world’s pre-eminent geneticists? My fear of the Cold Spring Harbor talk was simply an acute episode of a more chronic malaise that has gripped me since coming to Duke eight years ago. While I love this University and have always been enormously happy here, I have always felt out of place at Duke. I am a scientist whose work is conducted amidst the dusty boxes and wooden cabinets in the backrooms of provincial museums across Europe and whose subjects of study come from scratching in the dirt of caves and rock shelters on distant continents. Even though my field is dynamic and rapidly changing—the number of known species in the human family has more than doubled in the last 15 years—its basic questions and approaches haven’t changed much over the last century. Duke, on the other hand, is aresearch institution known for bringing the newest of technology, for using the latest methods and for applying the most promising new approaches to push the frontiers ofbiomedical science. Duke is progressive and for-

Does Duke need BAA? ward-looking, very much a 21st century University; I am the keeper of an arcane and backward-looking, 19th century science. I often feel like an alchemist at a meeting of the American Chemical Society. These feelings of discord have certainly been heightened by recent discussions among administrators and faculty about the fixture of my department, Biological Anthropology and Anatomy, and its role in the intellectual and research life of Duke. My sense of anomie is so acute that even I’ve been wondering: Does Duke need BAA? Biological anthropologists are organis-

mal biologists—scientists who study the whole organism rather than the cells or molecules therein—but with a twist: We concentrate solely on humans and our primate relatives. This human focus makes us distinct from biology and puts us, intellectually, somewhere between the natural and social sciences. Our concentration on the functional aspects of primate biology—behavior, physiology and biomechanicsplaced us firmly withinDuke’s strong tradition of outstanding scholarship in functional organismal biology established by the Biology Department; but the trend towards molecular and cellular biology is draining resources for our type of scholarship at Duke and at other universities. My world offossil bones and calipers collided with the world of chromosomes and gene sequencers at Cold Spring Harbor. I expected to be confronted with the attitude—prevalent since the first molecular studies were applied to questions of human evolution in the 1960s—that fossils and whole organisms were superfluous and that everything we needed to know about

humans could be found by decoding the nucleotide sequences of the double helix. But the buzz was quite the opposite. The first draft of the human genome had been released, the rate of discovering new gene sequences had plummeted, the prospect of molecular tests for human diseases had gone largely unrealized and genomics had lost many ofits top researchers to drug discovery, personalized medicine, proteomics and other ventures. Welcome to the postgenomic era. At Cold Spring Harbor the buzz was all about integrative biology—the synthesis of functional organismal biology with

genomics research—as reflected in the emergence of new areas of study like functional genomics and physiological genomics. “We are seeing a resurgence of functional organismal research,” one colleague told me, “as geneticists are scrambling to make sense of the mountains of data that have been collected in the absence of research questions.” I was astonished to see the genuine interest the participants had in human evolutionary studies—not only because fossil evidence is critical to their efforts to understand how ancient human migrations effect modern genetic variation but also because of the growing realization that genomics has as much potential to tell us about the human past as it does to shape the human future. In fact, Duke has the ability to play a critical role in how biological anthropology and genomics can together shape the future through many of the unique animals found at the Primate Center. The human genome project was initially aimed at providing the data and methodologies needed to identify the genetic basis of common diseases, which in turn stimulated the sequencing of animal models without real thought to the appropriateness of these models for understanding human disease. Unfortunately, many of these models have not proved successful at mirroring human disease processes. It doesn’t take a degree in biology to see that primates are the best models for understanding human disease processes. The prosimian primates housed at the Duke Primate Center may prove to be excellent for the study ofhuman physiology or pathology. One relevant animal for studying human physiology, the mouse lemur, a diminutive nocturnal primate from Madagascar, is a resident of the Primate Center. The mouse lemur, like humans, is a long-lived primate. (It kicks offafter only 10 years or so, but for a mouse-sized animal this is life span of biblical proportions.) But the most interesting thing about this prosimian is how it responds to aging: Like humans, it grows senile. Examination ofthe brains of aged mouse lemurs reveals the formation of the plaques and tangles that characterize the brains of human Alzheimer’s patients. While it would be dif-

ficult to follow the neurological changes of aging in human subjects (since microimag-

ing studies would need to be performed on a frequent basis), such studies would be easier with the mouse lemur. With this model, anecdotal reports from clinical case studies—for example, the claim that an aspirin a day may retard the progress of Alzheimer’s—could be readily tested.

Mouse lemurs are not endangered, they breed rapidly and the aging process occurs over the span of one decaderather than the seven or eight decades ofhumans. On top of all this, there is research demonstrating that the life span of mouse lemurs can be altered by changing the length of their day—potentially leading to valuable insight about metabolism and the aging process. As I returned to Duke from Cold Spring Harbor, I had a renewed appreciation for the interconnectedness of all forms of science and optimism about the future of functional organismal studies in a post-genomic world. Moreover, I came away with a renewed sense of the importance of pure science in a world that seems to increasingly value the applied sciences. The downsizing of the pure sciences—a national trend that is being played out here at Duke—is shortsighted at best. While I have tried to illustrate the important role that the traditional science fields play in newer, applied science venues, I want to make clear that the value of the pure sciences goes well beyond their adaptability. The generation of knowledge and the forging of that knowledge into wisdom through consideration ofthe natural, social, political and ethical realms of human existence is the birthright of the University. This, along with the critical role of educating successive generations in all areas of human endeavor, is its only real mandate from society. Universities, as centers of intellectual diversity, are the last bastions of the pure sciences. Things like BAA, the Primate Center and functional organismal biology are what set Duke apart from forprofit applied science corporations, and continuing to support these ventures while integrating them with new areas of research will only foster a stronger intellectual environment. Now I see the real question: Can Duke live without BAA? Steven Churchill is an associate professor of BAA.

President at..- what? The tension that is now rising within the Western alliance, NATO and the United Nations over how to deal with Iraq is deeply disturbing. It raises fears that the postwar security system, which stabilized the world for 50 years, could come unglued if America intervenes alone in Iraq. At the birth of this security system, Secretary of State Dean Acheson wrote a memoir titled “Present at the Creation.” Can we deal with Iraq and still ensure that Secretary of State Colin Powell’s memoir is not titled “Present at the Destruction”?

Thomas Friedman Commentary We can, ifwe, the Russians, the Chinese and the French all take a deep breath, understand our common interests and pursue them with a little more common sense and less bluster. That means the Bush hawks need to realize they cannot achieve their ultimate aim of disarming and transforming Iraq without maximum international legitimacy. And the Euro-doves need to realize they can’t achieve their aims of a peaceful solution in Iraq and preserving the United Nations and the whole multilateral order without a credible threat of force against Saddam Hussein. Let’s start with the Bush hawks. The first rule of any Iraq invasion is the pottery store rule: You break it, you own it. We break Iraq, we own Iraq—and we own the primary responsibility for rebuilding a country of 23 million people that has more in common with Yugoslavia than

with any other Arab nation. I am among those who believe this is a job worth doing, both for what it could do to liberate Iraqis from a terrible tyranny and to stimulate reform elsewhere in the Arab world. But it is worth doing only if we can do it right. And the only way we can do it right is if we can see it through, which will take years. And the only way we can see it through is if we have the maximum allies and United Nations legitimacy. We don’t need a broad coalition to break Iraq. We can do that ourselves. But we do need a broad coalition to rebuild Iraq, so that the American taxpayer and Army do not have to bear that full burden or be exposed alone at the heart of the Arab-Muslim world. President George W. Bush, if he alienates the allies from going to war—the part we can do alone—is depriving himself ofallies for the peace—the part where we’ll need all the friends we can get. There is no question that Saddam would ever have let the UN. inspectors back in had Bush not unilaterally threatened force. But if Bush keeps conveying to China, France and Russia that he really doesn’t care what they think and will go to war anyway, their impulse will be to never come along and just remain free riders. The allies also have a willful blind spot. There is no way their preferred outcome, a peaceful solution, can come about unless Saddam is faced with a credible, unified threat of force. The French and others know that, and therefore their refusal to present Saddam with a threat only guarantees US. unilateralism and undermines the very UN. structure that is the best vehicle for their managing US. power.

We need a compromise. We need to say to the French, Russians and Chinese that we’ll stand down for a few more weeks and give Saddam one last chance to comply with the UN. disarmament demands—provided they agree now that if Saddam does not fully comply they will have the UN. authorize the use of force. If war proves inevitable, it must be seen as the product of an international decision, not an American whim. The timing cannot be determined by the weather or the need to use troops just because they are there. You cannot launch a war this important now simply because it’s going to be hot later. I would gladly trade a four-week delay today for four years of allied support after a war. I would much prefer a hot, legitimate, U.N.-approved war with the world on our side to a cool, less legitimate war that leaves us owning Iraq by ourselves. France, China and Russia have to get serious, but so do we. The Bush talk that we can fight this war with just a “coalition of the willing”—meaning Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia—is dangerous nonsense. There is only one coalition that matters to the average American and average world citizen. It is one approved by the United Nations and NATO. We may not be able to gamer it, but we need to be doing everything we can to try before we go to war. Why? Because there is no war we can’t win by ourselves, but there is no nation we can rebuild by ourselves —especially Iraq.
