...Duke University or John Wayne?
An Actor, A University And A Famous Name Lead To A Lawsuit : The Two-Way : NPR
The gist: The Wayne family wants to milk the nickname Duke by jumping in on the brown spirit craze and selling a Duke Bourbon (probably some low end swill); Duke U thinks they consumers will think of them instead of an actor that hasn't been in a movie in the last 35 years.
...and... fight!
I detest hearing stories about families that leech off of the works of they ancestors in the manner of European nobility. The (Martin Luther) King family is a prime example.
