DECLINE HERE? DON'T BELIEVE IT! headlined the Fort Worth Star-Telegram on Page One last week. Other newspapers from Seattle to Savannah were doing their unlevel best to bull their way through one of the nation's biggest-and most botched-running stories: the recession. Though more than 50.000 workers are out of jobs in Georgia's four largest cities, the Atlanta Journal has zealously kept the state's slump off the front page, and, until last week, even banned the word recession from the paper...

Though he retains his old-world courtliness ("I ask your indulgence." he will say in an argument with a brash undergraduate), he is as much at home in a bull session as any student. He is deferential in class, but his professors find him an invaluable stimulus. In a sense, he has become the kindly uncle of the whole university, feeding on the youthfulness about him while giving in return the benefit of his 70 years of experience. "He likes young people," says King's Rector Charles Bosanquet, "and has sympathy for them...
