Other studies seem to support Gross's finding. Leonard Eron, a professor of psychology at the University of Illinois, conducted a ten-year investigation, ending in 1970, on 875 third-grade children in a semirural part of New York State.

Weston's friend, Littlefield, drops out only to land gloriously as a Yale Law School professor, and Weston and Newton, although they leave Bass and Marshall, still seem in awe of the grand old head of the firm, Cosmo Bass, and are fairly well indoctrinated, if somewhat rambunctious...
...university professor and correspondent for The Washington Post, was forced to give up both of his careers because of his political and intellectual beliefs. He was a journalist with Chosun Ibo, a leading Seoul daily, and has published a collection of essays entitled Idolatry and Reason as well as A Dialogue With Eight Hundred Million People. He now sits in prison in Seoul, waiting out a three-year sentence, magnanimously reduced to two years on appeal...
