Sociable, voluble, and almost childishly concerned and curious about other people ("He has the soul of a concierge," says Cowles), he loves to pack his roomy, rambling house in Mt.

Even after Judy fired her bench-baiting lawyer-brassy, little Archie Palmer-in midtrial, things did not improve. The court got her three lawyers who had been assisting Archie.
