...recent dispute over alleged discriminatory law firm hiring practices reveals another aspect of the Law School's "wait and see" attitude. The director of the placement office at the Law School has said that nothing can be done to erase patterns of prejudice.

A book must wait its turn at hard-pressed printing plants, like Kingsport Press in Tennessee, one of the largest in the U.S. The sheer bulk of books retards their progress; jobbers have only so much storage, and can be poky about emptying their warehouses to make room for new consignments.
