I'm the last one to leave the nest, d they want to be sure I can fly before they let me go."_ _ _ His family is planning a small party to celebrate his graduation. No big deal, he says laughing, "just the immediate family, which usually means about 100 people." Meanwhile, Anthony plans to attend the University of California at Riverside where he will study psy- chobiology ("It deals with the whole person, both the physical and the mental") and try hard not to turn out to be a bum. But whatever he chooses to do with his life, he says - law. politics, or whatever - he will never, never limit himself to doing just one thing.
