THEY are looking for a career in which they can express themselves, in which options will be left open. Law may then become what Edward Levi has termed it, namely a career for the uncommitted. There was a time, not entirely vanished, when some students of this outlook did graduate work in philosophy as a kind of generalized liberal art, but philosophy has almost everywhere become more specialized, more intramural; such students have sometimes tended to move into anthropology or sociology or political science, and they still do. But these social science fields suffer in many graduate schools from excessive...
...will open the possibility of an activist career at home or abroad. This is one of the reasons why they come to law schools rather than schools of public administration, which they see as helping one move into the bureaucracy rather than out of it. Some students of this outlook are impelled into psychiatry or clinical psychology, or some other form of helping individuals. But it is my impression that the greater concern now is to work with and to help groups, even if the groups have to be organized in order to be helped...
...course, such an outlook goes back to the New Deal and earlier, but it gained new impetus during and since the Kennedy years. Paradoxically, perhaps, in view of their desire to work with groups, these students share the individualism, not to say anarchism, of the uncommitted law students, and they are sometimes so violently anti-bureaucratic that they cannot endure even the mild constraints and regulation either of the law school or of a government agency; like many talented students today, they suffer from a claustrophobia which resists all constraint, whether of curriculum or language or manners or the compromises...
Long Survivals. Despite remaining difficulties, the outlook for victims of acute lymphocytic leukemia continues to improve. Since 1964, the proportion of patients who gain complete if temporary remissions as a result of intensive treatment has gone up from 50% to 90%, said Dr. Zubrod, and the median survival time has stretched from 19 months to three years or more. A few patients have done still better, reported Sloan-Kettering's Dr. Joseph H. Burchenal. He knows of 87 children and 16 adults who are alive five years after first diagnosis, with no detectable disease. Indeed, 29 of them have...
...pursue satisfactorily a full-time course of study, or attain the age of 24, whichever occurs first. But what most undergraduates do not know, and cannot yet learn, is where they will stand with the draft after graduation. For seniors, that time will be next summer, and the draft outlook for them is not good; as the situation now stands (but it could change), most of them will enter the 1-A pool...
