The boss depends on him; one of the Yankees' owners is a tax lawyer

Article Abstract:

Daniel R. McCarthy is a part-owner in the New York Yankees and a tax-specialist attorney in Cleveland, NY. When he and co-owner George Steinbrenner bought the Yankees in 1973, they did it as a tax shelter, since the Yankees were losing money and the losses could be written off. In 1992, however, the Yankees are worth between $200 and $400 million, thanks in part to McCarthy's management. In 1990, when Steinbrenner was investigated by the Baseball Commissioner's office for gambling, McCarthy tried to prevent Steinbrenner losing managing control over the Yankees.

Academics are hopeful on Clinton

Article Abstract:

The law school community is feeling optimistic about a Clinton presidency, hoping it will result in increased financial aid for law students and strategies to draw more law students to public interest law. Insiders are hoping that Clinton's proposed national service program to repay student loans will be extended to the law school community as well. Law students today are believed to be more idealistic, which bodes well for public interest work.
