The 3 cities in the Research Triangle...Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill...are not so distant from each other. Mrs. Nifong's "long commute" is interstate highway all the way. Isn't it interesting that the Nifongs choose to live outside of crime-ridden Durham where they both work?
I think the article was about the wife of the Gov. not Nifong's wife. In that context it make sense.
