It was my great good fortune to attend law school at Cal Berkeley from 1968-1971. I often think of those days in terms of the famous Chinese curse: “May you live in interesting times.” I picture a remorseful Asian shaking his head and saying, “Jeez, I’m sorry; I didn’t mean that interesting.”

Between People’s Park and Vietnam, Eldridge Cleaver and “Off the Pigs,” Berkeley in those days made Fellini look like The Little Mermaid. It was the world’s largest open-air insane asylum. We never knew when a lecture in torts or land development law would be replaced by a demonstration of crimes or constitutional law.
