Schmeruk's absence has no connection with the celebration this weekend of the establishment of Harvard's new Center for Jewish Studies. Likewise, two talks scheduled for Sunday are unrelated to this event. Not beginning at 1:30 Sunday afternoon in Science Center C, Salo Baron of Columbia will discuss "Problems of Jewish Identity From an Historical Perspective," and Saul Lieberman, of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, will not follow him with a schpiel on "The Achievements and Aspirations of Modern Jewish Scholarship...
...months Burger Baron Ray Kroc, 76, founder of the McDonald's hamburger chain, has been bedeviled by a rumor that he donates money to the Church of Satan, a San Francisco-based cult. "The most vicious thing I've ever heard and all lies," sputters Kroc. Nonetheless, on many fundamentalist Christians in the Southern and Midwestern Bible Belt, the rumor has had the impact of a Big Mac attack in reverse: they are boycotting McDonald's.

Trillin approaches this kind of "effortless" writing about people in the section of Alice, Let's Eat where he discusses Fats Goldberg. In 12 pages he creates a marvelously warm and funny character portrayal of the New York City pizza baron.

Indeed, according to a recent American Bar Foundation study, 36% of Americans have never used an attorney. In 1973, with that untapped market in mind, Baron and his partner, Attorney Blair Melvin, 44, founded Group Legal Services. Today the firm offers round-the-clock legal consultations by phone to 20,000 California families for annual fees ranging from $35 to $60. For Baron and Melvin...
...rebuttal, Baron points out that The Law Store customers receive high quality individual advice from the attorneys they consult. "For the most part," he says, "we handle cases that would never get to an attorney without a service like ours." In the first four months of operation, 805 clients had generated $20,000 in fees for The Law Store, whose monthly overhead is $2,000, not counting attorneys' salaries that are currently being paid by Group Legal Services. To attract more customers, local advertising in newspapers, on radio and TV is planned for the end of the year...
