...Douglas, a court veteran of 30 years, resigned from the presidency of the Parvin Foundation from which he has received about $12,000 annually for the past seven years. Though his relationship to Parvin was certainly less objectionable than Fortas' tie with the Wolfson Family Foundation ?the contract was not for life, for one thing, and Douglas' duties were spelled out precisely?the connection was still questionable and invited the accusation of poor judgment at least. The foundation until recently had derived income from Las Vegas gambling operations. Even after Douglas quit the organization, the American Bar Association said...
...proposed move "like being kicked out of the game on the two-yard line after coming 98 yards down the field." Scheer quickly accepted his resignation. Out is not off, however. Who was down in Houston last week, tracking the Apollo 10 flight in his familiar way, under contract to Britain's ITV? None other than Paul Haney.

Congressional critics charge that the "overrun" resulted mostly from Lockheed's attempt to win the contract by making an unrealistically...

Those estimates purposely tend to downplay the suspicions raised by C-5A foes, who had suggested that the Pentagon and Lockheed had been conspiring to ensure that the company came out of the contract with an ample profit. In any case, Lockheed disagrees with the Air Force loss figures; company spokesmen insist that on a full order, Lockheed can "at least break even...
...Columbia affair, in which Kunen was a front line-participant, is pretty well wrapped up by page fifty, and where the book will go from there is by no means certain. The rest can be read as a chronicle of Kunen's incestuous relationship with his Random House contract. He treats the book like a colossal term paper, trying to get started and finding ever-fresh devices for procrastination. Like Mailer at the conventions he casts about rather self-consciously for figures to interview (Mark Rudd, Dean Deane, the station manager of WABC) and events to experience and record...
