...volunteered their services. Away from the urban anonymity of such hydraheaded courts as New York's 24-judge Southern District, a local U.S. judge may control a federal fiefdom that makes him a prime public figure. The $30,000-a-year salary may seem low viewed from Wall Street or Chicago's LaSalle Street, but it goes a long way in most areas, and the status is unbeatable.

Wall Street has been full of speculation about possible A.M.C. merger partners-among them Litton, Kaiser, International Harvester and Sears, Roebuck...
...bound for an unwanted House can match the wrath of the student separated from his chosen roommate. The plaster wall of one fourth-floor corridor sports a newly-kicked hole to prove it. The kicker, who said the wall gave very easily, will be floating in Leverett and his roommate, in Dunster...
