Some years back, I sued Lamson College, a purported university for aspiring nurses, on behalf of several students whose lives had been ruined by the tuition and the lack of any jobs for Lamson grads. The case went to mandatory arbitration. I had a heart attack and had to withdraw. My successor had an airtight case but lost. When I confronted the arbitrator later, he indirectly conceded that there was a tremendous incentive to hold for Lamson because they were in so much litigation that there was an excellent chance the arbitrator would get more work. It was about this time that my opinions about the American belief system turned.
