HST Storms Duke: Clash in Page Auditorium, drunkenness, bikers, 1A issues, more.

This month marks yet another anniversary of my youthful coverage of Dr. Hunter Thompson’s October 22, 1974 speech at Duke University as a student reporter for the Duke Chronicle.

Stay tune for more October memorial coverage.

“When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.”

--Winston, thinking, in George Orwell's 1984.
