...that Turow thinks life at the Law School is perfect. But his criticisms are mild, centering on its institutional dislike of change and its ties to traditional legal education. One is forced to ask why he came to such an ivy-covered school if he wanted a looser kind of place. The Law School has many of the flaws that undergraduates complain of at the College: distant, overly august faculty members, unnecessary pressure, obnoxiously self-assured classmates, and all the other hallmarks of a school that is a little bit too preoccupied with itself.

...year moved to Los Angeles and eventually started his own ashram-spiritual commune-in a garage. Although India's Sikhs are renowned as meat eaters, Bhajan has insisted that his followers be strict vegetarians. While yoga is not part of Sikhism, Bhajan teaches the practice, and not the mild form widespread in the U.S. but Tantrism, a strenuous, mystical variety practiced by men and women in pairs.

"I had a sign and I followed it. Sam told me what to do and I did it." Again: "Sam told me to do it. Sam sent me on an assignment. I had to do what I had to do. I had my orders. Sam sent me." Who is Sam? Berkowitz said Sam is at the moment a neighbor of his named Sam Carr, but "really...
...putters, and he enjoys browsing in hardware stores. Says Sister Ruth: "His idea of a good time is coming to visit and cleaning my car, then straightening my house." He keeps his desk as uncluttered as his sister's car, and moves through the Times building with mild good humor. He places many of his own calls when he is in New York, and when Punch travels on business, it is often in the company plane, which is piloted by a man punningly known as Pontius Pilate. He sometimes writes letters to the editor under a pseudonym, most recently...
