Mean Dean. The brilliant and aggressive chief prosecutor, James Neal, delivered a four-hour summation of the Government's complex case that may become a trial textbook classic. The Government, Neal declared, had no desire "to paint a halo" over its witnesses, but these men "have paid or are paying the penalty for their sins. They have nothing left to do but to tell the truth and start rebuilding their lives."

There he came under the tutelage of Dr. Robert Loeb, a great physician who co-edited what has since become one of medicine's standard texts: Cecil & Loeb's Textbook of Medicine.

Fairbank was of course right, and since that essay-as textbook writer, as target of the McCarthy campaign, as a mover and shaker in the field of Asian studies in the U.S.-he has stuck to his main theme. The great Confucian system of government that evolved by the 2nd century B.C. has resulted in a yawning cultural gap between East...
