For ¾ of a year, newspapers, media, public opinion polls, sexists, racists had the Duke La Cross team tried and convicted. A huge majority believed they were guilty based on rumour, conspiracy, and lack of evidence, innuendo and colour. In the end the truth proved everyone but the Duke Team wrong. Today’s media is filled with opinions, half truths, lies, innuendos, rumours, gossip and numbers that mean nothing. Regardless of your political position, the only numbers that count or will count are the final totals. If this election is based on polls and numbers then Dewey should have beaten Truman. Aren’t 99% of these things similar to picking lotto winning numbers?
