...major change, not a minor thing," says Daniel Polsby, dean of George Mason University School of Law, in Arlington, Va. After teaching at Northwestern Law for 23 years, Polsby has asked his faculty to take a look at offering a similarly accelerated program and thinks other schools may follow suit. "The idea is generally a good one and there is going to be demand for it, but how much I don't know," he says...

Paranoia swept the close-knit investment community a week after Levine, 33, a former managing director at the firm of Drexel Burnham Lambert, pleaded guilty to criminal charges of income tax evasion, securities fraud and perjury and settled a civil suit charging that he had made $12.6 million in illegal stock- market profits on corporate takeovers. A Securities and Exchange Commission investigation was in full swing, along with criminal investigations by U.S. Attorney Rudolph Giuliani.
