In his race against former Democratic Governor Warren Hearnes, 53, popular Attorney General John Danforth, 40, had youth, money, an unsullied reputation (in addition to his law degree, he holds a bachelor of divinity degree from Yale).

Two hundred and fifty recent immigrants to the U.S. are enrolled in the Extension School's language courses. About 7 per cent of the students come to the school already holding a bachelor's degree, over 16 per cent with a master's. For most, the purpose is enrichment, but 60 per cent of the 6 per cent who do receive degrees go on for further graduate work, many of them at Harvard...
