About this episode
Last night ESPN's 30 for 30 series aired the documentary about the Duke Lacrosse case called Fantastic Lies . Back when the Gist was being piloted in April 2014, we spoke with author William D. Cohan about the case following his book The Price of Silence: The Duke Lacrosse Scandal, the Power of the Elite, and the Corruption of Our Great Universities . For the first time ever, we'll air that interview on The Gist. For the Spiel, why all right-thinking Americans should want Donald Trump to be the Republican nominee.
