Americans, he has written, in their search for political stability in emerging nations tend to resort to military strong men or the formal device of elections instead of building a political party, the only truly solid political institution.

The graduate departments tend to define their problems from within, even though they may get their funds from without, and tend to look down upon students with too direct a moral imperative, as well as too roving an intellectual eye. Thus in principle the law schools could become even more than at present locales for training in applied social science. Both the pressure and the possibility to move in this direction...
