More likely, Shelley would have majored in Government and gone on to law school, and, instead of writing "Ode to the West Wind" would have spent most of his time poring over a casebook of contract law. And, doubtless, Widener Library has become the nest of many would-be-Shelleys, who, in earlier days, while not rhapsodizing necessarily on skylarks or writing odes to clouds, might have been less intent on getting accepted to med or business school...
DECROW GOES TO great lengths in speaking about the root of inequality in the legal system--the law school. She cites problems she encountered in her own legal education. An especially interesting quotation came from a "popular first-year property casebook" which says, "For after all, land, like women, was meant to be possessed." At the beginning of the book DeCrow provides extensive historical background for her theories. Most of this material is not germane to her present subject--today's injustice--because it is concerned with legal practices long dead and buried. DeCrow does spare her reader...
...taught at Yale and the University of Minnesota before moving to Texas in 1955. A busy traveler who prefers trains to airplanes, Wright augments his $30,000 salary from the University of Texas with approximately $35,000 more from royalties on his bestselling handbook on the federal courts, a casebook on federal jurisdiction and procedure, and 13 volumes of a continuing series he has co-authored on federal practice. "Nobody in the country has done as much writing at his age as he has," says University of Texas Law School Dean W. Page Keeton. Wright clerked for one year under...
Tango and its somewhat milder predecessors are a casebook study in cultural osmosis-the process by which serious directors draw off the pornographers' best stuff and put it to respectable uses. I Am Curious (Yellow) (1969) seems to have started the current phase of candor. It was followed by progressively bolder films, from Midnight Cowboy (1969), with its homosexual as well as heterosexual couplings, to A Clockwork Orange (1971), with its rapes and sex à trois. Going beyond all of these, Tango proclaims the liberation of serious films from restraints on sex as unequivocally as the 1967 Bonnie...
...notably tennis, bridge and the pursuit of women. Alexander Alekhine (1927-35, 1937-46) is best described in Fine's words as "the sadist of the chess world." He went through five marriages, was involved in a campaign of antiSemitism, dipsomania, and enough other psychopathology to fill a casebook. The Netherlands' Max Euwe (1935-37), as square as Lasker was, is a conventional paterfamilias and also a mathematics professor with a cool passion for order on the board...
