Rooty's Spin Cycle

......Rooty was attending law school when he was granted a 2-A occupational deferment for his job as a law clerk in 1969.........his boss, the late Manhattan federal Judge Lloyd MacMahon, wrote a letter to the local draft board - a move criticized years later as rare and questionable. Law clerks were not on the 1968 list of critical jobs that qualified for occupational deferments.........

..... but Rooty's spokeswoman Katie Levinson told New York magazine in tomorrow's issue that Rooty was "opposed" to the war in Vietnam on "strategic and tactical" grounds.......

And there goes Rooty down the drain......Roto-Rooty.

Deferments were perfectly legal during the Vietnam war
