...delegates nonetheless adamantly refused to let lawyers give minimal information even to "bona fide consumer" groups. The old rules were broadened only to allow a listing of the lawyer's areas of specialization, his office hours, charges for the first consultation and the availability of a full fee estimate upon request. Such information can be offered to the public only in bar-approved directories or a Yellow Pages ad that complies with local bar regulations on language and format. That is likely to be only Round 1 of a continuing battle...
Each of them invested the $500 it takes to pay the state Secretary of State's election fee, and came up with the 500 signatures it takes to get on the ballot in each of New Hampshire's two primary districts. The meager 188 votes that Clegg and Packwood earned as a dividend would indicate that American capitalism has sunk even lower than they think...
...government officials and company representatives, help the firm chart its investment strategy, advise it on how to shape its bid and funnel back useful intelligence on government needs. All that is wholly ethical, and thus it often is next to impossible to determine how much of the agent's fee is a legitimate business expense and how much is passed on in bribes?particularly because the client companies have good reason for not trying to find out.

As Northrop's agent, he stands to collect a fee of $45 million for a single deal to sell fighter planes to Saudi Arabia.

Larsen discovered that young nobodies would hustle if given a byline and a decent fee ($500 to $1,000 for a major piece). Their eagerness may be starting to pay off. Guaranteed circulation has climbed from an initial 100,000 to 250,000. Though advertising pages were up by 40% last year, they still averaged only 14 per issue. But a few recent issues have surpassed Hirsch's break-even target of 25 pages, and he says that New Times will be in the black by this year's fourth quarter. Still, the magazine has already used...
