Unlike The Defenders. In both style and substance, most of the law practiced in the big shops differs radically from the work of attorneys who operate alone or in small firms. A rare star performer, such as Edward Bennett Williams or Melvin Belli, may get rich with an essentially one-man show, but the average income of U.S. lawyers working on their own comes to about $8,000 a year. In big firms, the starting salary for an associate fresh from law school is about $8,000, and the average income of partners and associates is about four times that...
...more than their husbands, that image is strangely endearing. The curmudgeonly businessman who loathed culture, spurned pleasure and lived to grind his employees under heel turns up in Dolly as Horace Vandergelder (David Burns), the matchmaker's mate-to-be, and announces with refreshing pride that he is "rich, friendless, and mean, which in Yonkers is about...
...trained under Walter Gropius, has veered away from the Master's Bauhaus cubism into a vocabulary of curves and coils, pleasing both to look at and to live in.

It will also buy shares in other businesses that have high potential, some risk, and a tough time securing capital from local sources. ADELA plans to raise $40 million from 80 or more companies in the rich Northern Hemisphere; with this it hopes to attract another $160 million from such sources as the World Bank and the Latin American moneymen, who are normally wary of investing in their own homelands. So far, a dozen firms have pledged up to $500,000 each, including Italy's Fiat...
Lost Force. At his best, Aiken can suggest a mental atmosphere with compelling force. He was one of the forerunners of the still-current rage for Freudian fiction, an early psychological novelist who explored neurotic fear and sexual antagonisms with extraordinary restrained sensuality. Rich in inner soliloquy, barren of drama, his writing is most successful in evocative short stories (notably Silent Snow, Secret Snow, The Last Visit and Mr. Arcularis), where he is able to embody a single emotion in a single carefully worked image...
