...This Is It. From both ends of the serving kitchen, scores of people pressed in. All order had dissolved with the first shots ("It sounded like dry wood snapping," said Dick Tuck of the Kennedy staff). The sounds of revelry churned into bewilderment, then horror and panic. A priest appeared, thrust a rosary into Kennedy's hands, which closed on it. Someone cried: "He doesn't need a priest, for God's sake, he needs a doctor!" The cleric was shoved aside. A hatless young policeman rushed in carrying a shotgun. "We don't need guns! We need a doctor...

First of all, business must stop the panic itself. It must not make a crisis out of a problem. Students don't hate it; they're going into the profession more than ever.

Unfortunately, Galvin made the problem seem much greater than it actually is. What needs to be done is to stop stressing what students think is wrong with business and start emphasizing what is right with business. Business can certainly compete...
