...great asset not only to law students who wanted to use their degrees to work in the public interest, but to large numbers of underrepresented people and public causes around the country. Over my three years at the Law School I attended many seminars organized by the public interest placement department. I probably never would have heard of D.N.A. if it were not for Ron; I certainly would not have managed to find the funding for the project I wanted to pursue here if Ron had not been at Harvard...
...convinced that a significant number of my classmates who are now working in corporate law firms will at some point in their career consider government, non-profit or public interest law.

But the President was determined all the while to arrive with proposals that would interest the Soviets and encourage the success of their reforms without turning the meeting into a wholesale renegotiation of the postwar order. Such a deal would be futile in any case. At Yalta in 1945 the victorious Allies could draw lines at will upon war-ravaged Europe. Now the ability of both superpowers to dictate events has been sharply circumscribed...
