Ghetto projects are not universally popular with senior partners. "A few of the lawyers fritter their time away on something that makes no sense," complains Hammond Chaffetz, a partner in a big Chicago firm. "They get into some hair-raising projects, some way-out kind of thing, just to raise hell." As long as the best students continue to go elsewhere in their first years out of school, however, firms like Chaffetz's will have to offer opportunities for rewarding social service.

Almost every service station along the highways these days looks like a miniature Las Vegas. Banners, billboards and other ballyhoo urge motorists to win big prizes by matching Dino Dollars, playing Tigerino, collecting Presidential Coins or joining in scores of other games. There is not a casino in the world with the gall to offer odds as long as those that are standard in service stations and supermarket "games of chance."

Houston-based Braniff, which has strong ties to the old Administration, lost a stopover in Mexico, although it retains several new runs to Hawaii which, as domestic routes, are not subject to presidential review. Under the Johnson decision, Los Angeles-based Continental Airlines stood to grow from the eleventh biggest U.S. trunk line into a sizable international carrier serving such South Pacific spots as Samoa, Australia and New Zealand. Continental's President Bob Six had served the previous Administration by providing extensive-if not always clearly...
