Journalism, they say, is the first draft of history. When a story breaks, the central figures tend to be one-dimensional, less characters than caricatures. Quick and easy themes develop.

Last Friday in New York City a young man boarded Amtrak's 7 p.m. Acela Express, which was loaded with fans who, like him, were traveling to Baltimore for the NCAA men's lacrosse Final Four. He took a seat across from two old friends, cracked open a Bud Light and blithely chatted about what typically interests guys in their 20s -- jobs, mutual acquaintances, girls -- seemingly oblivious to the stares he was getting from a few of the other passengers. The young man politely declined to talk with a reporter who happened to be sitting across the aisle from him (his Wall Street employer, the young man intimated, forbids him from doing so), but the T-shirt he wore provided comment enough. Printed in bold, block letters across the right breast were two words: duke lacrosse. The young man was David Evans, one of the three former Blue Devils players accused -- and later exonerated -- of rape and other offenses against an exotic dancer at a team party last March.
