Schools not only fail to develop these capabilities, says the Coleman panel, but by monopolizing young people's time, they also prevent them from acquiring skills elsewhere. Until about 50 years ago, a child learned how to be an adult in his life outside school, especially within his family. But the family no longer serves this function, and "school has expanded to fill the time that other activities once occupied without substituting for them."

"The problem is trying to arrange new kinds of deals, with private financing and a quick payout. The payout will not necessarily be in hard currency, but in products." Peterson, who still is solicited for advice by Henry Kissinger and Treasury Secretary George Shultz, expects that Lehman will help create and manage many such deals, "bringing money, people and ideas together...
