Bruce A. Fredrickson had been a lawyer for only two months when he attended his first client interview. A woman claimed she'd been rejected for a job with the U.S. Information Agency because agency officials wanted to fill the slot with a man. Fredrickson felt the problem at USIA extended beyond the treatment of Carolee Hartman, and decided to handle the suit on his own. In 1977 there was no way to know that the suit would drag on for 13 years -- or that it would produce a $508 million settlement.
