...lone dissenter,* Justice Stewart, surprisingly made no mention of the possibility that countless minors now in custody may well be entitled to quick release. He did argue, however, that the court was inviting "a long step backward into the 19th century," an era when "there were no juvenile proceedings, and a child was tried in a conventional criminal court." In anticipation of that objection, the majority carefully noted that it was not suggesting that juvenile courts needed to change in every respect.

His old image lingers on, but Levitt, now 60, has stayed at the top of the $25 billion industry by changing his whole approach to housing...
