发帖数: 1 | 3 Miller entered Duke in 2003 and seems to have tried out a new persona—
Libertarian Lounge Lizard. Dorm mates recall him slinking around in a
bathrobe and slippers, smoking Nat Sherman cigarettes. Because he was
prematurely balding and looked older, the girls on his floor found him
useful for buying alcohol. Miller obliged. “He’d put on a suit, then go to
the liquor store and they wouldn’t card him,” says one of his dorm mates.
Deep down, he seemed to desire female affection. He found some—as Guerrero
uncovers—with a Mexican-American girl from a Texas border town, whom we’
ll call Sara.
Their courtship would be rich material for a social scientist. A source
close to Sara says she found him intelligent, but mainly she felt sorry for
him, as he didn’t have many friends. He was not opposed to immigrants, he
told her, just illegal immigrants, which is why she even gave him a chance.
But he wanted more from her than she from him. Sometimes she let him in;
sometimes she’d try to shake him. “She’d just say, ‘Go away, Stephen,’
in that mean-girl way,” says a friend of Sara’s who suspects she was
embarrassed to be seen with him in public. But he could lash back. The
friend recalls that when Sara spoke Spanish, he’d cut her off, telling her,
“You should just speak English.” It went on this way for much of their
freshman year, until she returned home. He called her a few times over the
following summer but she never called him back, and she never returned for
their sophomore year. Sara’s friends, seeing his anti-immigrant stance
explode over the years, later wondered to one another, “Man, how bad did
she hurt him?” |
