Another alternative for the middle-income consumer is the cut-rate "legal clinic." One, located amidst a tangle of shops in Van Nuys, Calif., is a storefront law office run by Leonard Jacoby and Stephen Meyers, both 32-year-old lawyers. They sprinkle their office with brochures listing prices and permit customers to pay by credit card. Most important, they charge fees that families earning $8,000 to $18,000 a year can afford. At the clinic, an uncontested divorce goes for $100 instead of the $350 charged by the average law firm; a typical bankruptcy case brings $225 instead...

For example, a fetus should not be punished by murder because his father was a rapist or his mother was pregnant out of wedlock. The fetus, and by extension the infant, is always...
...York Jesuit Joseph F. O'Rourke anticipated some sort of trouble when he went to Marlboro, Mass., recently to baptize the baby of Mrs. Carol Morreale (TIME, Sept. 2). Incensed by her advocacy of an abortion-information clinic, local priests had refused to perform the baptism, and O'Rourke stepped into the breach against orders from his immediate superior. Last week it was clear that the Jesuits took O'Rourke's disobedience much more seriously than he had expected: his New York provincial superior, the Very...
