Back in the groves of academe, the business schools deny all charges of omniscience and any claim to perfection. The average dean or professor, in fact, is only too aware of the frailties of the ambitious students he sees charging forth to conquer the world. He is ready to acknowlege many of the criticisms of even the best M.B.A. programs.

Dolan succeeds by recruiting the support of individual special interest groups--groups much more difficult to pinpoint among Connecticut's dense, and traditionally moderate population. "Is this the same Terry Dolan who was so interested in the election of Jim Buckley to the U.S. Senate in my state?" Weicker asks. Despite hundred of thousands of NCPAC dollars, Buckley, a former senator from New York, lost to Democrat Christopher Dodd...
