Maass (studying the water laws of Spain), Historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr. (lecturing on the West Coast), Government Professor Carl Friedrich (at a Texas seminar on Hegel) and Economist John T. Dunlop (mediating for the construction industry). Students who came to sit at the feet of such scholars could well ask: Where are they...
