"Blessed Mother," Faust murmured on the sidelines, "haven't you tested me enough?" His players mumbled much the same thing.

Progress is intruding upon the escapist desert haven of the wealthy...
...women made up only 15% of the class, which incidentally included a young student named Michael Severn. One of her more demanding mentors at the time was Professor Charles L. Black Jr., whom she eventually married. After Charles transferred to Yale in 1956, Barbara followed him to New Haven, Conn., where she rose through the faculty ranks to become an associate professor of law. In 1984 she returned to Columbia as a full professor...
