White, who for three years was a junior associate in the mines of Hogan & Hartson, a major Washington, D.C., firm, lampoons and lambastes everyone connected with the legal profession, from starters to partners. For students worried about the bar exam, he has a chapter subtitled "Thousands of Morons Have Passed It-So Can You." There is a section exploring the compulsion for obscurity and obfuscation.

Her wingspread, a vast 200 feet, is 12 ft. less than Douglas' bomber. She is 117 feet long (132 for the 6-19). Newsmen estimated that the top of her tail was 30 feet off the floor, which would make it about ten feet short of B-IQ'S.
