John F. Kennedy Jr. flunked the New York bar exam, but he can keep his job in the Manhattan prosecutor's office for the time being. Kennedy, 28, can appeal his score on the test, which he took in July, and can take it twice more before he will be expected to resign the $30,000-a-year job as an assistant district attorney. Meantime, Kennedy, a graduate of New York University Law School, will be able to work as an unadmitted lawyer on misdemeanor cases and on certain Supreme Court matters under the supervision of a lawyer who has been admitted to the bar. Kennedy's sister, Caroline, passed the bar on her first try.
