That’s what we need today. Many of the municipal candidates all over this country leave much to be deaired: they've had the rusld left open to them because talented people with experience in_lew or business just won't run.

That’s the result of an extensive poll conducted by the Lon Angeles Times which asked U.S. lawyers if they'd practice law again in the event they could go back to law school.
