Five months ago, Hannafin, a bachelor with a law degree from Colum bia University, joined the Forty-Plus Club of New York, a nonprofit cooperative for executives and professionals who are seeking jobs. Each week four or five of the club's 130 members resign to take new jobs-but Hannafin does not know when he will become one of the lucky leavers. "My chances are considerably dimmer than other members of the club, the financial business being what it is," he says. "It's difficult to apply for a job in a totally unrelated field. The only...
Instead of winning approbation for his enterprise when his triple role was discovered last December, Brown began losing jobs. Confronted by officials at Bronx Community College, which does not permit its faculty members to have excessive outside employment, he agreed to resign; but after students demonstrated in his behalf, he was permitted to complete the fall semester.

Last month, only five days before he went behind bars and one day after his last appeal failed, Kerner finally did resign. In the 14 months since his conviction, Kerner had collected nearly $50,000 in federal...
...tough postwar antiCommunist. As acting chairman of the House Un-American Activities Committee, he helped young Richard Nixon push the investigation of Alger Hiss. Elected to the Senate in 1948, Mundt reluctantly chaired the McCarthy-Army hearings six years later. After suffering a stroke in 1969, he refused to resign and in February 1972, he became the first Senator ever to be stripped of seniority and key committee assignments by his fellow legislators...
