...president of Lawgistics, a Philadelphia career-counseling firm for attorneys. "I see lawyers who range from merely curious about their alternatives to those who are seriously depressed and even suicidal." Branches of Lawyers in Transition, a support group that offers seminars and workshops for attorneys who are looking for job alternatives, have proliferated, primarily on the West Coast. Such services, which often include vocational information and testing, range widely in price, from...
Despite big-city law salaries that typically start at $55,000 to $80,000, the desire for a change of pace may be stronger than the craving for financial rewards. Faith Childs, now a literary agent with the Charlotte Sheedy agency in New York City, gladly left her job as a labor lawyer for a FORTUNE 500 company.

But it is abortion that is at the very...
...salon. In effect she had, for she spends a good 25 minutes before most public occasions "freshening up," as one of her aides calls it. Wattleton has a healthy dose of vanity. Her nails, makeup and hair are always just so. She maintains that grooming is part of her job, "as people make judgments about youbased on your appearance." Nearly 6 ft. tall, imperially slim and sleekly dressed, she is usually the cynosure of attention at any gathering. Harper's Bazaar named her one of their eight "Over-40 and Sensational" women last summer, and she is a stunning refutation...
