Iran's New Supreme Leader To Be Chosen Within 24 Hours: State Media
Iran could be hours away from installing a new supreme leader, with state Fars News reporting early Saturday that a successor may be selected within the next 24 hours, but there are signs of a potential factional power struggle - somewhat expected given the complex history of reform vs. hardline Islamic interpretations inside Iran.

The Duke Lacrosse Case Exposed The Rot In Higher Education, The Media, And The Justice System
Authored by William L. Anderson via the Mises Institute,
Twenty years ago this month, the infamous Duke Lacrosse Case exploded on the Duke University campus, with three members of the university's lacrosse team falsely accused of raping and assaulting a black stripper. It took more than a year to exonerate those young men, but only after the false charges had ruined lives and exposed elite higher education in the US.
As one who wrote nearly 100 articles on this case and who was interviewed on talk shows, along with working with some of the attorneys and families involved in the case, I saw it from the inside.
