...many of those who stop out, the year (or years) off can prove more arduous than college itself. Stanford Senior Doug Patt, a campus graybeard at 28, has twice interrupted his college career to "see how life is out there in the streets." What he saw, in such jobs as that of supervisor at an Alaska salmon cannery, persuaded him to return for his degree last fall, almost a decade after he entered college. Rice University Senior Charles Lansdell, another 28-year-old, who is graduating this spring, spent three years as a clerk at the First City National Bank...

...started with martial intoxication. It seemed as if we were riding the subway to a war and needed only some General Patt?n to tell us that we were gonna meet destiny at Park Street station. Riding the escalator up through the dark who knew what was going to happen? Will the Revolution begin today: heart pounding, some part of me churning out anger and bile in amazing degree, and suddenly as I reach the street and see everybody else nervous o? flipped out I know that it's not about to happen, and have no idea whether it ever...
