...uncomprehending victims for $100 cameras, to California Governor Ronald Reagan, who tried vainly last year to curtail the program's influence. C.R.L.A. has won 85% of the 4,000 cases it has taken to court. The benefits, as Lorenz sees them, go far beyond the courtroom. "If you act in groups," he says of CR.L.A.'s clients, "you can at least gam a limited sense of participation and control over your own destiny...
...Chicago Businessman Gordon Sherman, now 41, was the joke of the auto-parts industry twelve years ago, when he began hiring white-frocked mechanics to install gold-painted Midas mufflers and act like lofty physicians in "treating" croupy exhaust systems. Now the scoffing has given way to awed silence. Last year Sherman's nationwide chain of 460 Midas muffler (and other parts) shops grossed $42 million. This triumph has freed Sherman to pursue myriad private interests-Talmudic scholarship, oboe playing, rare-bird raising, the culture of orchids-and to cure social ailments as well as autos...
This is what Berio, 42, has been driving at in all his work. To him, what counts is man's civilized conscience.

It passed an amendment to the Higher Education Act that would cut off all forms of federal aid to any student who has "contributed to substantial disruption" of a college. The threat hangs over the head of any student who has a federal loan, educational opportunity grant, loan insurance, fellowship or subsidized part-time job. Nearly one-fifth of all college students fall into one or another of those categories...
...national security. After taking over as Attorney General, Clark ordered the Justice Department to review all cases for the purpose of discarding evidence that might be "tainted" because it was obtained by wiretap or bugging. He has firmly refused to make use of last June's Omnibus Crime Act, which permits court-authorized wiretaps in the collection of evidence for certain criminal offenses. Partly as a result, morale is said to be so low in his own organized-crime section that some star! members are planning to vote for Nixon...
