But now Mitchell, 55, a bril liant bond lawyer who earns $200,000 a year and who became involved in Nixon's campaign when their firms merged in 1967, has taken on the difficult job of putting into practice the campaign or atory about law and order, much of which he was responsible for formulating. The Attorney General-designate gained his legal reputation by arranging municipal bond financing for cities and states across...
