The attack on the Prime Minister's office confirmed that the Mujahedin have penetrated the highest levels of the governing hierarchy, including its security apparatus. Indeed, late last week another bomb killed Iran's general revolutionary prosecutor, Hojjatoleslam Ali Qoddousi, in his office near Tehran's Qasr Prison. Not even Khomeini is safe. Last month the guerrillas left a powerful bomb in his house at Jamaran, a village on the northern outskirts of Tehran, with the fuse removed to make certain that the device would not explode...

Lawyers on both sides agree that Zimmerman is likely to win his case. The only question is whether he will be awarded as much...

New York's Louis Nizer, whose clients have included Blacklist Victim John Henry Faulk and major corporations in the film industry, commands a phenomenal $350 an hour, thus earning the equivalent of the nation's median annual income in approximately 44 hours. Admits former Watergate Special Prosecutor James F. Neal, now practicing law in Nashville: "Frankly, I don't want to disclose my hourly rate. I'm embarrassed by hourly rates-not just mine, but everybody...
