...twice as important a deterrent among Blacks as among the group as a whole, a statistic that may reflect the sharp drop in the proportion of Blacks who chose to enter this year's class. The flow of students to all-expenses-paid scholarships (such as the Morehead at Chapel Hill, which includes graduate school) was substantial: other students opted for six-year medical programs to ensure the same sort of security. And Fitzsimmons says at least two students went to state schools on full scholarships to save money for a less academically able younger sibling, in case the latter...
...getting bigger. It would be futile to put a frame around The Coming Boom. The book is more like a sprawling by-the-numbers kit used to paint the dome of a new Renaissance chapel. There the enervated finger of post-industrial Adam is about to be plugged into the socket of divine science. One can even find a title for this vaulting masterpiece: CI.

From the ancient, white-gloved Harvard comparatively little remains. Some truly wonderful institutions survive-morning prayers in Appleton Chapel, for one, and ivy on the walls for another (though these days its grip is perilous). The clubs, they say, are resurgent, but most of the College would have trouble listing half of them by name. And Fox, Fly, Owl, Spee and their kindred are given over now more to fraternity-style carousing and less to gentility (though tuxedos remain de rigger). The preppie movement-the defiant wearing of madras and espadrilles-amounted to not so much...
