Student Deferment. Detroit's James Lafferty, 31, claims that any good lawyer can block a client's induction for at least two years. His firm of Lafferty, Reosti, Jabara, Papakhian, James & Stickgold has already handled 700 draft cases, although it is less than a year old. Milwaukee Draft Lawyer Harry Peck, 34, says: "A person who follows my advice and works hard on developing his case is probably going to stay out of the Army." Los Angeles Attorney William Smith, 36, who is an ex-Air Force captain, claims that if a boy and his parents can afford...

So off they trooped -judge, jury, counsel, bailiff and all -to Sacramento's Pink Pussy Kat Tavern, where Go-Go Dancer Susanne Haines, charged with indecent exposure, performed eight numbers. For four of them, she wore Exhibit J, a pair of transparent red panties; in the remaining four, she wore only her gold sandals for the full topless-bottomless...
...Senator after the accident but have been silent so far, will probably be called to testify. The fact that both are lawyers complicates the matter. Unless they plead the Fifth Amendment, they will be required to report all they saw that night. If they claim that a lawyer-client relationship existed between them and Kennedy, they still must testify, but they may not, by law, be asked to relate their conversations with Kennedy unless the Senator agrees to let them. To prove such a relationship, they must show that Kennedy asked for advice on a legal matter. Even so, neither...
