After a stint as George Bal1's assistant at the State Department, he took on the Deanship at Stanford in 1964. Before that Dean Manning had only glimpsed California. A mover behind the newly formed Urban Institute, a Rand-like think tank for the social sciences, Dean Manning seeks to foster social change with the same drive he brings to experimentation in legal education.
