...cases before the high court. Fortas' many connections in high places have gained him a reputation for wheeling and dealing in areas not uncommon for a corporate lawyer but of questionable propriety for a Supreme Court Justice. One fellow lawyer described Fortas as simply "avaricious." It is no secret that Fortas' cigar-smoking wife Carolyn was furious when L.B.J. named Fortas to the bench: he exchanged a law practice worth about $150,000 a year for a Supreme Court post that then paid only $39,500. (Mrs. Fortas, as a member of her husband's old firm...
...Fortas' outside source of income raised again the ugly issue of influence peddling in high Government circles (see TIME ESSAY). It is a common occurrence in Washington.

They were met by Prime Minister Jack Lynch and a band of other officials, who hastily assembled to welcome their illustrious guest. The De Gaulles then left by police-escorted limousine for the tiny village of Sneem in County Kerry. There, in a secluded...
...immediate and nearly hysterical. Backbenchers collected 125 signatures calling for an immediate withdrawal of Cross-man's rates. Asked one Laborite: "Why should the edentulous and the myopic be expected to correct our balance of payments?" Further, a round-robin letter, sponsored by right-wing Laborites, demanded a secret ballot by Labor M.P.s to determine whether Wilson should remain as Prime Minister and party leader. In a move without precedent, Parliamentary Labor Party Chairman Douglas Houghton warned Wilson that he could push his union reform through Parliament only at the risk of blowing apart the party.
