Though classes at Eton are still known as "divisions," they are less and less reflections of class division. The school has, of course, its share of Bertie Woosters, but many of its students are rarely idle and hardly rich: 250 of the 1,270 boys have part of their fees paid by the school. Both fagging, whereby younger boys had to dance attention on their elders, and flogging are gone, as are some of the other fabled barbarisms that may have encouraged two of the school's alumni to fashion the most chilling dystopias of the century in Brave...

The problem with this particular lemon is that it tends to sour us on the possibility of real reform. Even those who crave a national program covering everyone are wont to throw up their hands in despair: Nothing works! It's so complex! Maybe in 100 years...

...ride down has been almost as steep as the climb up. In 1990 alone, share prices in both funds have dropped more than 30% (see graph). Even on a long- term basis, the Fund for Income and the High Yield Fund are among the industry's worst performers. Benalder Bayse Jr., who from 1985 to 1989 ran both funds, testified with immunity at Milken's presentencing hearing that a Milken crony, Roy Johnson, helped him land what he described as a "lucrative job" at First Investors. Thereafter, according to Bayse, Johnson funneled junk bonds to him, both for the mutual...
