- <p> Give that man a raise! John F. Kennedy Jr. deserves it
- after sweating out a passing grade from his final shot at the
- New York State bar exam. "It tastes sweet. I'm very relieved,"
- said Manhattan's most famous assistant district attorney, as he
- got the official word last week. The D.A. requires all
- assistants to pass the bar, and John-John would have been out
- on his ear had he failed. Despite Kennedy's two earlier flunks,
- boss D.A. Robert Morgenthau kept the faith: "We never doubted
- he would pass." The grade also gives the dashing young lawyer
- an extra $4,000 to boot around once he's sworn in to the bar,
- but Kennedy was taking no chances. He took the Connecticut bar
- exam--and passed that too.
