...less than two years, Columbia University refused to send him a journalism school application. So he turned instead to Chicago's law school. The first classroom professor he encountered there was Edward Levi, an antitrust scholar who later became Attorney General and Bork's boss under Gerald Ford. "He was the most fantastic teacher I ever knew," Bork says. "He took the big ideas in the law and played with them, always by indirection." Levi's technique was to prove abrasively why more obvious explanations were wrong, an approach Bork adopted...
Ironically, the remainder of Bork's four-year tenure at Justice could prove his biggest asset. Career and political appointees alike credit Bork with helping to restore morale at the shaken department. Despite antibusing sentiment in both the Nixon and Ford administrations, for example, Bork pointedly refused to oppose a controversial Boston school-desegregation order.

Bieber may have little trouble getting Ford and its 104,000 U.A.W. employees to reach an accord.

But some 70,000 Canadian workers whose contracts with all three automakers expire this month picked the No. 3 company last week as their strike target.) On the contrary, GM Chairman Roger Smith said last week, "I don't know of anyone in the world who can give you a 100% job guarantee if you are in a cyclical industry...
...rapist." Alice Kirkland, president of the local chapter of the N.A.A.C.P., said her group would not oppose anyone who wanted to volunteer prints, adding, "We've had no complaints from the residents so far." One of two black officers on Kelly's force, Sergeant Ellsworth Ford, a 13-year veteran, has been behind the drive so warmly he has given his recent days...
