...storefront chain, Legal Service Center of Arkans & Levin, found a way to cover a wide territory with one movable office: Partners Peter Levin and Steven Arkans put the essentials inside a 22-ft. converted mobile home, painted their phone number (LEGAL 44) on the sides and launched it on a circuit of some 20 shopping centers...
...million out of veterans' counseling, employment and education programs detonated real indignation among Congressmen and editorial writers. Among the programs on the hit list were the readjustment counseling centers that have helped more than 67,000 Viet Nam veterans since they opened in late 1979. These storefront operations allow Viet Nam vets to come in and talk to the only people in the world who seem to understand what they have been through: other vets. They literally and probably save men's lives. Last month, the House unanimously approved (388 to 0) a bill that would extend the counseling program...
...national nervous breakdown. Fresh history has added a few new perspectives. Ronald Reagan, who last August described Viet Nam as a "noble cause," nonetheless proposed to eliminate $691 million in benefits for the Viet Nam veterans, including $30 million for the 91 valuable and even lifesaving storefront veterans' counseling centers around the country.

...ended after five brutal hours, the toll was heavy: 165 policemen injured-26 requiring hospitalization-along with scores of civilians. Nearly 100 rioters were arrested.

...involvement in the Viet Nam War ended six years ago, but the fighting and suffering go on for many of its veterans. Since 1979 Congress has appropriated more than $20 million for Operation Outreach, a network of 91 storefront counseling centers for psychologically distressed Viet vets. The centers have helped 50,000 of the 2.8 million Viet Nam veterans readjust to American life. Despite their success and popularity, Ronald Reagan put them on his list of Government programs destined for budgetary oblivion...
