...a-year allowance from her father was hardly enough for two in Upper Bohemia, so Leonard turned to part-time journalism ("the opiate of the artist; eventually it poisons his mind and his art") and other odd jobs to help pay the bills. But in those golden pre-World War I days, even young socialists supported a cook and maid. For the Woolfs there were also to be such contingent expenses as the four nurses required during Virginia's breakdowns...
...student loan program. To educate practicing lawyers, it sponsors more than 40 publications, from the A.B.A. Journal to the Practical Lawyer. To train green state trial judges, it recently founded a summer "college" in Colorado. To spur legal research, it runs Chicago's $600,000-a-year American Bar Foundation. Though its 83 canons of ethics have yet to be uniformly obeyed or even favored, the A.B.A. is still the only bar group with the power (and increasingly the will) to set high standards across the country. One measure of all this change is the Independent Bar Association...

...Teamsters have spent perhaps $1,000,000 defending their beleaguered boss, but in May a move was launched to make Hoffa pay his own legal bills. Hoffa huffed that he would pay "out of my own pocket," but that takes some mighty deep pockets, even with his $75,000-a-year salary and his other well stocked resourses. Tran scripts of the Chicago testimony alone may cost...
...problem is smallest in Los Angeles County, which boasts the nation's first and biggest public-defender office - a $1,000,000-a-year operation that began in 1914 and now has 69 fulltime lawyers plus ten skilled investigators. Last year the office handled 32,000 cases. Less happy is the situation in Florida, the very state that provided the Gideon case. Florida was obliged to install 16 public defenders throughout the state, but the legislature authorized so little money that even Miami's big-city defender gets only $22,750 a year for himself, two assistants...
