Friends say Meese's dream was to be Attorney General, and when William French Smith stepped aside, Reagan was quick to oblige. Meese's legal qualifications were hardly overwhelming: a 1958 graduate of the University of California Law School at Berkeley, he spent eight years as deputy district attorney for Alameda County, Calif.; worked briefly as a button-down attorney in private industry; and from 1978 to 1980 taught criminal law at the University of San Diego Law School.

...prospect of a future in the job market or in a house seems ludicrous after they've been outside for long enough. The hungry will not go away; all the same, they have somehow been disenfranchised. Their straits will be eased by small, local organizations such as those in Berkeley, but without major policy changes--or perhaps even structural changes--in state governments and in Washington, their numbers will continue to grow...
