It is all there is left to steer by on a very dark night.” So begins Derek Bok and Dr. William Bowen’s new book, The Shape of the River, one of the first books to demonstrate the power of race-sensitive admissions practices. The former presidents of Harvard and Princeton universities evoke the image of Mississippi riverboat pilots winding through fogs, slow eddies, and hidden bluffs.
