Neilan, 57, who took office last May for a one-year term, is turning out to be more outspoken-and articulate-than most. At the National Press Club in Washington last month, Neilan said that the U.S. has its own scandal to match Britain's Christine Keeler case: a "se duction by subsidy" in which more and more Congressmen are turning into bagmen for constituents, bringing home pork barrel programs and federal handouts in return for votes...

Whatever its final shape, Penn is growing up fast. Once provincial Philadelphians, its students now come from 48 states and 83 foreign countries. Once given to favoring alumni, it now promotes teachers on merit. Penn's faculty is vital, distinguished and outspoken. Academic freedom is real. The once sleepy school beside the Schuylkill River still lacks a crackling intellectual air. But it has the will, the leadership, and-as ever...
