【B3】______ the flag of success, modern-style, liberal arts colleges are withering 【B4】______ business schools are burgeoning, and yet even business schools are having an increasingly hard time 【B5】______ faculty members, because teaching isn’t 【B6】______ "successful" enough. Amid a broad consensus 【B7】______ there is a glut of lawyers and an epidemic of strangling litigation, record numbers of young people continue to flock to law school 【B8】______ , for the individual practitioner, a law degree is still considered a safe ticket.
