Interviewer 1	So do you feel that this is the,	2:58
	the culmination of four years of academic excellence?	2:58
-	No, I think it's just the beginning	3:03
	of a really long morning.	3:03
Interviewer 2	Describe Duke in one word.	3:06
-	Fun, just fun.	3:08
-	Challenging.	3:10
-	Outstanding, outstanding experience.	3:11
-	Well, New Jersey is two words, so.	3:15
-	Duke in one word, good question.	3:18
	He's got a good question.	3:20
-	I'm grateful for what this institution has made me.	3:21
-	Oh boy.	3:26
-	Duke-	3:27
-	There is no one word.	3:28
-	Duke in one word.	3:29
-	Hot, very hot.	3:30
-	Oh, that's a hard question, just one-	3:34
-	I think dynamics is a good word, because this, a lot,	3:36
	a lot of, a lot goes on at Duke.	3:39
-	Intense.	3:42
-	Beautiful.	3:45
-	It's been a hell of a beautiful place to go to school.	3:47
	(trumpet playing)	3:53
-	You know, they keep on saying that	4:13
	students at Duke are apathetic,	4:14
	or that they're very, not very interested	4:15
	in changing reality,	4:17
	and I keep on saying, where are these apathetic students?	4:18
	Because I never get them.	4:21
Interviewer 1	What about Duke?	4:22
-	What about Duke?	4:23
	Trying to figure out whether	4:28
	I gave more to Duke or Duke gave more to me.	4:29
-	No, I think it was a good education.	4:32
	Yeah.	4:34
	That's, I have a good sense of that.	4:34
	Of course, women's studies was a big part of that.	4:35
-	I think they also need to be a lot more aware	4:37
	of the, the safety problems on campus.	4:40
	And, some of the,	4:43
	I think they should put a little more energy	4:45
	into their race relations things on campus.	4:48
	Since I've been here, it's kind of been really	4:51
	a low level issue that people talk about a lot,	4:53
	but not very many, like, big steps have been made.	4:56
	(crowd clapping)	5:23
-	I'm not playing.	5:26
-	Did you ever meet Maurice, you know, Rothschild?	5:31
-	No, I didn't.	5:33
-	You didn't, huh?	5:35
-	No.	5:35
-	I met him once.	5:36
	You heard, you heard about what's going on, didn't you?	5:37
-	Yeah, I know, I know what's going on in his story.	5:38
-	What do you think about that?	5:41
	Like big scandal at Duke university, what do you think?	5:43
-	I think that there are a lot of very unaware people.	5:45
	(group singing)	5:50
	♪ What you've done for me ♪	5:51
	♪ I can't forget how you set me free ♪	5:54
	♪ I can't forget how you brought me ♪	5:58
-	Maurice is a very good story.	6:00
	I guess, the fraud extraordinaire	6:01
-	I mean, I didn't know him,	6:05
	but it would seem to me that it was pretty obvious,	6:07
	that, I mean he didn't even speak French, did he?	6:08
-	Well, that's what I heard.	6:10
-	We all planned to go to France for the summer.	6:12
-	I think it's funny that he, he could do it	6:15
	and he got away with doing it.	6:17
	I think, I mean more power to him.	6:18
	He had a good time while it lasted.	6:21
-	Wasn't he, how old was he?	6:22
-	Supposedly he was-	6:24
-	37?	6:26
-	If he can pull the wool over everyone's eyes,	6:27
	let him do it.	6:29
	It's going to catch up to you sometime, but,	6:31
	bravo.	6:34

-	We've been organizing Earth Week and Earth Day,	6:46
	and I think the general purpose across the world	6:48
	is that we're giving people the option	6:51
	of taking action instead of just sitting at home	6:53
	and thinking, God, the environment's in a terrible state,	6:57
	but there's nothing we can do.	6:59
	We're finding concrete alternatives	7:00
	for people to take action on.	7:03
-	Something I'm more active, like recycling.	7:07
	We did that earlier today.	7:09
	And it's a type thing, that,	7:11
	I mean, you'll take some more of an active part	7:13
	which we want to encourage.	7:15
	♪ I'm singing praise to the Father ♪	7:18
-	It's an extraordinary time to be alive	7:21
	after growing up being told about the evil empire,	7:22
	you've seen four Soviets in succession kickoff.	7:26
	All of a sudden, it's as hard to keep up	7:31
	with the rapidly changing events in Eastern Europe	7:33
	as the Pits Men or the ACC standing.	7:35
-	I was in Shanghai, which is a fairly westernized city,	7:38
	at the time that the wall came down.	7:41
	But still, it was kind of strange to see	7:43
	that there was not much of that radical change	7:46
	happening in China,	7:49
	and people I talked to there thought	7:50
	that it was a bad thing that was happening in Europe.	7:52
-	I just think that it's, it's fantastic,	7:55
	and I'm glad that we're around to witness it.	7:58
	It's amazing that it happens to be happening	8:01
	at the end of this millennium.	8:03

-	He said you can come up.	8:54
	You can be very good filmmaker but,	8:55
	these films don't fall within	8:58
	the realm of the black establishment,	8:59
	you'll get the boot.	9:02
	My first film was a film called Answer.	9:03
	Its about a young, black screenwriter,	9:06
	20 minutes long, a young, black screenwriter who's hired	9:08
	to direct a 50, a $50,000,000 remake of Birth of a Nation.	9:11
	(audience laughs)	9:17
-	The black community did not like that.	9:20
	(audience laughs)	9:21
	In any area, when you're black,	9:24
	when you're African American and you try to succeed,	9:25
	whether it's corporate America,	9:28
	or entertainment world, or athletics,	9:31
	you'll ask anybody who is successful,	9:35
	and they'll tell you they knew they had to be	9:38
	10 times better than they're fellow white counterparts,	9:39
	and that's where Earnest and I approached it.	9:42
-	What was the question?	9:49
Interviewer 2	What are gonna be some	9:51
	of your best memories?	9:52
-	The shot, when Lightner hit the shot-	9:53
-	The shot.	9:54
-	And put us into the final four.	9:56
-	If you had to describe Duke in just one word,	9:57
	what would it be?	9:59
-	Basketball.	10:00
	(crowd cheering)	10:02
Interviewer 2	What's gonna be	10:10
	among your best memories of these four years at Duke?	10:11
-	Hmm, let's see.	10:13
-	Basketball, camping out.	10:16
-	Basketball was cool.	10:18
	(woman laughs)	10:20
	(crowd cheering)	10:21
-	I'll always remember camping out.	10:30

-	Hi, this is April and Judy here,	11:30
	and we have two big questions for you.	11:32
	Number one, have you figured out Palm City yet?	11:33
	As soon as you do, give us a call.	11:36
	Point number two.	11:38
-	Oh, we'd like all you guys to support	11:39
	the Duke soccer team and football team and basketball team,	11:40
	cause this year Duke is awesome at all the sports.	11:43
-	Duke is hot.	11:45
	We are number one-	11:46
-	Number one.	11:48
	Carolina, go to-	11:48
	(marching band playing)	11:49
-	D-U-K-E.	11:54
-	Don't forget, as soon as you figure out Palm City,	11:56
	let us know.	11:57
	(women laugh)	11:59
	(upbeat music)	12:01
Commentator	And that's it, it's over.	12:21
	The fans stormed the field.	12:23
	The goal posts die an honorable death,	12:25
	and it's celebration time on the Duke campus.	12:26
	The seventh rank Tigers go home with one in the loss column.	12:29
-	First of all, I think, before the season start,	12:33
	I think everybody had the level of confidence	12:35
	that we could win,	12:37
	and we can go out there and compete with anybody we play.	12:38
	And I think we need to, you know, after this game, you know,	12:40
	kind of go back and reflect about our goals	12:43
	and what we established for ourselves	12:45
	before the season even started,	12:47
	and maybe come together as far as like, you know,	12:48
	we can win these next coming ball games,	12:50
	and we can perform well.	12:52
	(upbeat music)	12:54
	(players shouting)	13:53
	(whistle blows)	14:04
	(applause)	15:07
	(crowd cheering)	15:57
-	It's a true privilege,	16:26
	on behalf of the university community, its friends,	16:28
	to welcome back to Duke and Cambridge,	16:33
	this year's basketball champions.	16:36
	(crowd cheering)	16:38
	(upbeat music)	16:41
-	I never knew until this year's juniors	18:45
	started winning,	18:49
	some of the banders started going off,	18:52
	how great Cameron was.	18:56
	And the people who come in campus and make it that way,	18:57
	it's, to me this is the most special place	19:03
	in the whole world,	19:06
	as far as college basketball is concerned.	19:07
Interviewer 2	If you had to give	19:18
	an incoming freshman for next year advice	19:19
	on how to get the best education at Duke,	19:22
	what would it be?	19:24
-	Don't take any classes.	19:25
	(chuckles)	19:26
-	No, it would be to get involved	19:27
	in something outside of the classroom,	19:29
	like community service, or project-	19:30
	Well I mean, any number of things, like,	19:33
	just something that gets you involved as a student	19:34
	with either something going on at Duke or in Durham,	19:37
	because that's where you learn the most	19:39
	and that's where you have the most fun,	19:40
	and that's where you grow the most, so.	19:42
-	I agree.	19:44
-	Just to come in with a firm idea of what you want,	19:45
	but then be open to experience just everything	19:48
	that Duke has to offer.	19:50
-	Get involved in everything that school has to offer.	19:53
	There's so many opportunities here to take advantage of.	19:54
-	Activate.	19:58
-	Yes, yeah, activate.	19:59
	Seek out the, the less publicized clubs	20:00
	and go to all the talks, go to lectures,	20:03
	forget about doing your homework and, and-	20:06
-	This school's got a lot to offer besides just academics,	20:09
	and I encourage everyone to take advantage of that.	20:13
-	Oh definitely, it's a better part of the education.	20:15
	Go to demonstrations, get involved in activist clubs,	20:18
	seek things out, so.	20:22
-	Yeah, it's really a great institution	20:25
	and I hope all incoming freshmen	20:28
	have as great a time as I did.	20:31

-	There are very few instructions	24:13
	for our commencement speaker at Duke university	24:14
	with the exception of the slogan	24:16
	on this young man's waterboard right in front of me.	24:17
	(audience laughs)	24:20
	He has a sign that says, don't have a cow man.	24:21

	I do not intend to.	24:31
	Here we mark a time.	24:35
	Your commencement, your step.	24:36
	We pray bold from the sanctuary of the Academy	24:39
	to the heady temptations of a changing world.	24:41
	We mark this time, the class of 1990,	24:44
	not simply as a whimsical exercise,	24:46
	and not simply because on these occasions,	24:49
	we genuflect to tradition.	24:51
	For those of us who are visitors	24:54
	or relatives or mere ornaments,	24:56
	this is a moment that we are happy to share with you	24:58
	and privileged to witness.	25:01
	We'll carry it from here in a locket of our memory.	25:02
	For you, however, it is more than a moment.	25:06
	It is more than a fleeting sensation	25:10
	to be recalled intermittently.	25:12
	For you, this is your time, 1990.	25:14
	You'll carry it with you the rest of your lives.	25:19
	The members of the class of 1990,	25:22
	inseparably bound to the events of their time.	25:25
	Your time, 1990, is also a time of transition,	25:29
	but unlike mine, yours is a time of explosive,	25:32
	dizzying, exhilarating, cataclysmic change.	25:36
	I like to remind young people on these occasions,	25:41
	it's easy to make a buck,	25:45
	it's tougher to make a difference.	25:48
	Or shorter still in the words of another friend of mine,	25:50
	Spike Lee,	25:56
	do the right thing.	25:58
	Congratulations to all of you.	25:59
	(applause)	26:01
-	And now as you go forth from this day,	26:12
	I want each of you to know that you go with our hopes,	26:14
	our fears, our confidence and encouragement,	26:17
	and with our love.	26:21
	Congratulations to every one of you.	26:22

Speaker 1	I've been in the Bay area	26:55
	for about 20 years.	26:56
	I've never seen anything like this.	26:57
Speaker 2	It's almost unbelievable	26:58
	that we could construct something like this	26:59
	that would be so vulnerable.	27:01
Speaker 3	We have no gas, no refrigerator, no lights.	27:03
	The house is halfway gone.	27:06
	What are we supposed to do?	27:07
	(intense music)	27:09
-	This is crack cocaine.	27:10
Speaker 4	The cartels fight back against our police	27:12
	protecting a multi-dollar enterprise.	27:16
Speaker 5	Noriega is a very skilled man.	27:20
	He eluded us.	27:23
	He's not running drugs, he's not running Panama.	27:24

Speaker 6	The United States is eager to work	27:27

Speaker 7	Think about the way in which	27:47

	One has to be proud of what the Supreme Court did.	27:50

Speaker 8	A new breeze is blowing	27:59
	across the Soviet Union.	27:59
	Let this spirit of openness grow.	28:01

Interviewer 2	What do you remember most	28:46
	about the eighties?	28:47
-	The eighties?	28:48
	Bell bottoms, disco.	28:50
	Oh that was the seventies.	28:52
	My mistake.	28:53
-	You said make it easy?	28:54
	Okay, describe Duke in one word.	28:56
	Diverse.	28:58
	(man laughs)	29:00
-	Don't you do something wacky to get into the Ehrlich	29:01
	or something like that?	29:03
Interviewer 1	When you guys look back on the eighties,	29:05
	what would be the thing you remember most?	29:07
-	Michael Jackson.	29:10
-	Why don't you feel this question, Karen?	29:13
-	The entire decade.	29:16
-	Probably Ronald Reagan.	29:17
	(laughing)	29:18
-	Because why?	29:20
-	Because we came of age in the Reagan era,	29:20
	and I think it's formed us, shaped us.	29:24
-	Good answer, good answer.	29:26
-	You proud of that?	29:28
-	No.	29:29
	(laughing)	29:30
Interviewer 2	What will you remember most	29:32
	about your time here at Duke?	29:33
-	I'll remember, I'll say	29:35
	I'll remember the friends that I made	29:36
	because that's been the most important thing	29:37
	to me about being here.	29:39
-	I'll never forget the people.	29:41
	I think there'll be friends of mine for the rest of my life.	29:42
-	Yeah, I'll miss it.	29:45
	It's been a blast.	29:46
