Some lawyerly lapses defy easy classification. William Dobrovir, an associate of Ralph Nader's, recently played a subpoenaed White House tape at a cocktail party. Later, he publicly apologized. The Justice Department and the judge in the case decided against punishing him, but the D.C. bar is said to be considering censuring Dobrovir on its own. "It's my job to look into any unethical conduct whether it's formally reported or not," says Fred Grabowsky, counsel to the District of Columbia...
Initially its service was gratis. But CHNS recently stopped sending out stories free and now has 15 paying subscribers (maximum charge: $50 a week). Gruenstein says that he needs 50 to 80 subscribers if CHNS is to become self-supporting when the Nader money runs out in March; he optimistically foresees a time when CHNS might cover up to 350 of the 535 members of Congress...

Thousands of people are being dumped into nursing or foster homes where conditions are often deplorable. Since New York State started emptying its mental institutions of thousands of inmates six years ago, many of them "have been jammed into tiny rooms, basements, and garages and fed a semi-starvation diet of rice and chicken necks," an investigation by the Long Island newspaper Newsday...
...really did a job. He wiped out 80 per cent of the A.D. Club, not that this is important to anyone, but it is worth mentioning as a sign of the times. If Nader had been there, we could have been talkin' a legitimate class action suit against Sunderland. The Mamed Section 19 Nine vs. Bobby "The Rabid Malcontent Terrier" Sunderland...
