Now it can be told. Instead of a respectable government para-legal, I should have been an entertainer. The ham in me adored the thunderous applause.

It was in the days when CBS Television had its first three-camera show. It was taped and would circulate for two years. Very big deal.

I was invited to be a jury member on the new show called “Face the Facts”, about trials. The director told us: “This is for entertainment, not a legal education. Let them enjoy it.” He meant our studio audience as well as the television watchers.
