Hey, what’s this—an article in DBR’s “White Hot Hype” by Chavez?
No, not the clown from Venezuela, although admittedly, one expects hype from that source.
No: I mean the piece by Luciana Chavez; “Some anger good for Duke.” You remember this Chavez—she’s the beat writer on Duke basketball for the News and Observer.
You do remember the Raleigh News and Observer, don’t you? It’s the largest circulation paper in the State capital and also has a fair circulation in Durham.
Admittedly I’ve given up reading much of the N&O: the paper of Barry (BS) Saunders, Samiha (“Dancer gives details of ordeal”) Khanna and others who undistinguished themselves in their coverage of the lacrosse case. But I still read material under the bylines of Joseph Neff and Luciana Chavez. In fact, I can heartily recommend today’s column by Luciana Chavez: “Duke’s Paulus won’t make any excuses.” I think it may also be of interest to other DBR readers!
The absence of pieces by Luciana Chavez from DBR’s news clippings has puzzled (and angered) me for some time. In the clippings from Tuesday’s game against Virginia, DBR featured the same clipping from something called Rich. com twice. (I guess there’s nothing like rubbing the win in to them!) You also featured a writer who mistakenly opined that a win vs the Holes on Saturday can get K “his 17th ACC title.” The ACC title is determined by the ACC Tournament. Is it because of this plethora of great basketball writers that you couldn’t show us Luciana’s piece on the Virginia game: “Devils flying into finale”? Or is there some other reason why she is largely absent from the selection of clippings in DBR?
