This revival has its haunting implications. In his truest and most tragic self-analysis, Camus notes, "My whole work is ironic." True because he always places fact alongside theory to dramatize the distance between humane ideals and human failure. Tragic because he also confesses, "The sole effort of my life [was] to live the life of a normal man."

This ruling is tenable only on the basis of the initial trial record, which is unusually limited--the pre-arranged deposition of the dean of admissions at Davis furnished the sole testimony, in fact. All appellate courts, including the Supreme Court, must base any subsequent decisions on the trial record, although a justice may loosely draw on material from amici briefs. It would seem Powell chose to discount important information pertaining to Bakke's application. Bakke was, after all, rejected from...
