Not long ago, Debbie, the divorced mother of a twelve-year-old boy, was part owner of a chain of unsuccessful reducing parlors and sole proprietor of a thoroughly successful figure (she says she had "a figure problem" once, after her son was born, but cured it with disciplined self-torture).

By the time he graduates, of course, the A.P. senior has had three years of tutorial, like the normal student. His sole loss, then, as compared with the normal senior, is the social opportunity and intellectual climate of a third year in the House. I do not wish to deny the value of these intangibles. For these benefits, many students decide to remain a fourth year, a choice which gives them the additional opportunity...
