Israel gleefully supplies many more humble details, but Lauder gives what is probably the most important one: as a child, little Josephine Esty Mentzer was ashamed of her parents' shaky English and "their old-country ways." That too is a common strand in the American success saga. People who go back to the Corona days remember a pretty, lively girl with "gorgeous, gorgeous" skin.

Since the CRR began what has turned into a five-month saga, other disciplinary bodies have judged and levied decisions for cases involving their students in one incident. It took the Law School's Administrative Board three weeks to give 10 law students official slaps on the wrist for their participation in a sit-in last April.
