...common legal tactics for controlling parlors is strict "regulation." Falls Church, Va., a Washington suburb, requires massage parlors to pay a whopping $5,000 annual fee and masseuses to take 1,000 hours of training. Since such requirements are clearly open to legal challenge, some cities are attempting to use zoning laws as weapons. New York City, which has some 70 parlors in Manhattan, may soon try zoning with a twist-massage parlors would be legal in the western section of midtown only if attached to a community facility or a hotel with 200 rooms or more.

...Mitchell & Co. took a heavy share of the blame. To help restore its image, Peat, Marwick about six months ago took the unprecedented step of hiring a competitor -Arthur Young & Co., one of the smaller among accounting's Big Eight -to scrutinize its practices. For a $500,000 fee, more than 150 Young accountants put in 12,000 hours of labor, studying the way Peat, Marwick audits its clients' books and interviewing 50 Peat, Marwick partners...

But there was more to it than that. It was also based on Douglas' unseemly $12,000 annual fee from a scholarship-granting foundation set up by Albert Parvin, who had links to Las Vegas...
...members-only resort, captured the imagination of the international set. The rich, the royal and the celebrated attended the extravagant grand opening in 1969. "No country club in the world is so deliberately elite, so tastefully plush," bubbled Town & Country magazine in its February 1971 issue. But the initial fee of $8,000 and annual dues of $360 dampened the ardor of many prospective applicants; only 700 signed up. Nonetheless, Post would not abandon his ideal of exclusivity. In 1970, even nonmember Lyndon Johnson was forced to wait at the gate until he was cleared to play golf...
