Cindy had celebrated her third birthday before immigration authorities finally ruled that there had been no legal adoption and she should be deported. Johns, a medical laboratory consultant who has sometimes posed as a doctor, quickly moved his family to Florida. Soon thereafter, lawyers for Macias-Rosales found them, and a flurry of activity ensued in state and federal courts, resulting in a deadlock. In early 1980 the Immigration and Naturalization Service again ordered deportation and got Cindy, kicking and screaming, as far as Miami International Airport before a federal judge intervened...
Skyrocketing medical malpractice insurance rates have turned many doctors into devout lawyer haters. And the M.D.s may soon get even angrier because a bimonthly legal magazine, Case & Comment, is touting yet another "new frontier in medical malpractice": the duty of a physician to warn former patients of any newly discovered danger in drugs or devices that the doctor prescribed in previous years.

The doctor's problems: his extensive investments in timber and real estate are being skimmed, and his gay son and free-spending wife are bleeding him dry. Warlock's assignment: remove the bad apples from the barrel...
When Halberstam picks up the team during the 1979-80 season, Walton has left in a fury of lawsuits against the team, its trainer and doctor over treatments with pain killers. Maurice Lucas, the power forward who had provided muscle and meanness under the boards, was locked in an acrimonious contract dispute with Portland's owner. Guard Lionel Hollins, ball-handler and playmaker nonpareil, also wrangled with management; he and Lucas were soon traded. Their running mate, Dave Twardzik, stumbled about the court, a man suddenly severed from a rare athletic symbiosis. Forward Bobby Gross was injured for most...
