(cheering) - I learned, I drank, I watched basketball, it was wonderful. - Very differing careers but we're very appreciative of the fact that we've had the time to spend together. - But we're just laid back and wanna go through life having a good time. And, you know, all those other confound things. Man: You're losing you're place in line. - It's been a great four years, but I'm looking forward to the world. - Memories. - Climbing the James B. Duke statue. - Winning the championship. - Burning benches. First question my dad asks is, how many benches survived? Not how you doing, how many benches survived. - You were there man, four years, four, final fours, and we were at the last one, we won, that was the cake. - It was a really bad year to be a senior. - Dude, that made my senior year. - It's terrible. - Just a terrible year, just a terrible year. - Couldn't be happier, four years, final four. We're in the end, I'm ready to move on. - Try to make a lot of new friends over the years, though. It's a good thing. - Make sure you've got like 15 family members in, all wanting to do different things at the same time, so. - So you take them to the gardens and let them loose.

(laughing) It was a Sunday morning and back in Washington, I have left unsupervised, Sam Donaldson. (laughing) That is why I predict special success for the class of 1991 and continued greatness for Duke. - By the authority invested in me, I confer upon you, and each of you, the ancient and honorable degree of bachelor of arts. A recognition of this major step through the world of creative and enlightened citizenship. My congratulations to you.

Man: Saddam is making the mistake of his life. Man: The United Nations issued a January 15th deadline for Iraq to withdraw from Kuwait. More than a million armed personnel stare each other down waiting. (explosion) - The liberation of Kuwait has begun. - Five months ago, Saddam Hussein started this cruel war against Kuwait. Tonight, the battle has been joined. Man: For five weeks, the coalition battered Baghdad and Kuwait with air attacks. Iraq was so overwhelmed with the strength of the allies that its only response was through Soviet made, Scud missiles. American made, Patriot missiles intercepted most of the incoming Scuds. Hussein attempted to dislodge other Arab States for the coalition by attacking Israel, the Jewish nation refused to retaliate against fatal bombings of Tel Aviv and the coalition remained intact. In a desperate act of environmental blackmail, Hussein ordered the release of millions of barrels of oil into the Persian Gulf and the torching of hundreds of Kuwaiti oil wells. Back home, there was no shortage of opinions on either side of the Gulf War issue. - You want me to go now? Why you want me to walk away? (shouting) Man: On February 23rd, the multinational force, led by General Norman Schwarzkopf launched the much anticipated ground offensive against the Iraqis. With Iraqi soldiers surrendering by the thousands, the war lasted little more than 100 hours. Saddam Hussein accepted all UN resolutions, calling for his withdrawal from Kuwait and payment of reparations and war damages. As school ended, the war's effects lingered, millions of Kurdish refugees who sought safety in the mountains waited, both hungry and cold, for a chance to return home.
