Perhaps a better lesson is that a fraction of the $2 billion in aid now being offered to Vietnam, a handful of the gestures of reform now being made, would have sufficed several years ago to turn this revolution into something very different...
...average American age was 291, and today it is 28. One-fourth of all Americans go to school; by the early 1970s, that fraction will be about one-third.

To prepare a student for teaching on the basis of one year's work, a fraction of which is devoted to apprentice teaching, seems to us simply inadequate. To graduate him at the end of such a year is, furthermore, to abandon him at the critical stage of entry into practice, a stage in which his academic training is being joined to the experience of full clinical responsibility...
