Every country is not only a country but also an idea. The idea of China has haunted-and usually eluded-the Western mind ever since travelers set out to find the dream of golden-roofed Cathay. In the Renaissance, Matteo Ricci, the Italian Jesuit who reported on China under the Ming dynasty, praised the country's "orderly management of the entire realm." In the Age of Reason, Leibniz suggested that what Europe needed was Chinese missionaries to teach "goodness." In the Victorian era, the U.S. Protestant missionary Arthur H.

Law graduates can find a rich combination of the two at Georgetown University Law School in Washington, D.C. Located in a seedy downtown area far from its Jesuit-run parent campus, the 1,300-student law school (only 46% Catholic) is a few blocks from city and federal courts, and a ten-minute walk from the Supreme Court. The area is a virtually ideal crime laboratory, and the school has made the most of its opportunities. Georgetown now boasts...
