With a friend from law school, Edwards opened his own firm in 1993, and he could now afford to be choosy. He turned down 50 to 100 cases for every one he accepted. The mere hint that Edwards might be a client's lawyer was enough to produce a generous settlement offer. But given a choice between settling or not, Edwards usually leaned toward going to trial, so supremely confident was he in his ability to read a jury.

But Reagan is impressive as a World War II naval hero with a hint of Bogart's neurotic Captain Queeg in The Caine Mutiny. In the attempt to discover Japanese sea lanes, submarine commander Casey Abbott makes a decision that kills 60 of his men. He is both firm in his belief that he did the greatest good for the greatest number and flooded with...
