...Attorney General Katzenbach told the Miami convention, "the poor man sees the law as something which garnishees his salary, which repossesses his refrigerator, which evicts him from his house, which cancels his welfare, which binds him to usury, or which deprives him of his liberty because he cannot afford bail. Small wonder then that the poor man does not respect the law." Small wonder, too, that the present system has tended to produce "lay intermediaries"-the very specter that appalls the bar. And as people seek legal advice from union officials, real estate agents and even neighborhood notaries, pressure mounts...
...Candace, too. Voluntarily rising from her Mayo bed, Candace wound up in jail with Mel, pending trial in November. "This is Russia," she stormed. "They would convict Jesus Christ." Last week Mel and Candace got an unusual legal break. In most states, murder defendants may be held without bail pending trial if there is probable cause to believe them guilty. But in Florida, murder defendants must be released on bail, unless the evidence against them is so "nearly conclusive" that conviction is virtually assured.

...including higher taxes for consumers, lower taxes for exporters and a 10% surcharge on imports, had been inadequate. Indeed, the latest moves were prompted partly by fear that if there is another pound crisis like last November's, some of the nations that anted up $3 billion to bail out Britain then might not be eager to rescue Britain again. For Labor, which governs by a three-vote majority, the new deflationary steps are fraught with risk. Since taking office last October, the government has scrapped almost its entire program of social change and has taken $2.3 billion...
