...Paul Newman '63. chief CLAO staff attorney, describes CLAO's job as "trying to convince these people that they have rights." CLAO is a neighborhood law office at 235 Broadway opened by the Harvard Law School. Six full-time attorneys and about 100 law students provide free legal aid for Cambridge residents whose income falls below a set limit. The office is funded by an OEO grant with a ten per cent contribution from the Law School...
...Director Sidney Furie (The Leather Boys, The Ipcress File) uses film gimcracks that have become pure convention: oblique camera angles, elliptical scene shifts, blinding lights to denote oppressive authority. Still, he maintains an even pace that helps tone down the film's giddy aspirations.

Lowdermilk's was a wonderfully archaic place redolent of the 19th century, with its air of oddity and discovery. Ralph Newman, owner of Chicago's Abraham Lincoln Book Shop, observed: "It was like going to your favorite tavern-you could always find things there, like a first printing of the Gettysburg Address." Newman will keep his own store open as long as he can. "We're one of the few bookstores left where you can get a drink in the back," Newman smiled. "Try that on the Book-of-the-Month Club...
