I was known, though, with [Northwest Side] detectives, and I would get a telephone call to bring a client in on account of a warrant, in place of arrest, some like the way Mason and Tragg interacted.

I have one in a collection, "Hard Boiled Detective". BTW, Erle Stanley Gardner wrote good detective-lawyer stories other than Perry Mason, but they’re hard to find these days.

My voice is thinner than yours, but I learned to speak standing up, or sitting up staight, from the diaphragm, for more resonance. I disagree with you about Hamilton Burger, but we can talk about it some other time. (I came to respecting prosecutors more than public defenders at an early age.) Me too.

That was my favorite show. You might say: but you're a prosecutor and he was a defense lawyer! And Hamilton Burger, the D.A., was a clown! Well, sure. But if you think about it, Perry Mason did what I try to do. Find the real murderer and put him away.

Why do I picture you as Raymond Burr when I hear you, Patterico?
