...could so many attorneys, trained in concepts of justice and the rule of law, become involved? Orville H. Schell Jr., president of the New York City Bar Association, blames this on a tendency of many lawyers today to forgo their critical independence and to serve as in-house counsels for corporations, foundations and Government. Their powerful clients thus become their bosses; the lawyer's aim is to please, not to advise that what the boss wants done may be wrong. One law school dean is less charitable in faulting such a broad trend. He blames Nixon for hiring "legal midgets?...
...proportionately. Rising fuel costs will increase the price of electric power. Altogether, soaring fuel prices will pump $8 billion to $10 billion of pure inflation into the economy. Still, there is a limit to what consumers will pay. Even without Government restrictions, higher prices will force many Americans to forgo some of their wasteful ways: the long, speedy, aimless car trips; round-the-clock air" conditioning and hothouse home heating...
Buffalo had a knack for falling behind in a game so quickly, in fact, that their quarterback usually had to forgo giving Simpson the ball in favor of a desperation pass game.

...doctor and patient alike. The surgeon must work in a severely constricted area, use unwieldy instruments up to a foot long, and exercise extreme caution for fear of removing or damaging healthy-and irreplaceable-vocal tissue. The patient, who must usually endure considerable post-operative pain, often has to forgo even the satisfaction of complaining; any talking may irritate his throat and delay his recovery. Now doctors at Boston University Medical Center are finding a way around both problems. They have found that a carbon-dioxide laser, which produces a high-intensity beam of invisible infra-red light, can quickly...
Barnes also has his eyes on other skies. Allegheny has applied to the CAB for routes to Los Angeles, Dallas-Fort Worth and Atlanta. If he can get routes to Atlanta from Detroit, Cleveland and Cincinnati, Barnes pledges to forgo Allegheny's annual federal subsidy. In return for flying into such small cities as Danville, Ill., and Johnstown, Pa., where traffic does not otherwise support commercial service, Allegheny collected $3,200,000 from the CAB last year...
