...gravest mistakes was to underestimate his antagonist, bear-shaped District Attorney Henry Menasco Wade. Belli referred to him as a yokel and a hog caller. But Wade's slow twangy drawl and furrowed face camouflage a tough, sharp mind. Under Wade, says a veteran Texas trial lawyer, Dallas County has "the toughest prosecution in the state of Texas." During the trial, Wade made a sparrow-and-peacock contrast with Belli; he played the earnest, rumpled country boy v. the gaudy city slicker, complete with red velvet briefcase.

...wings which sweep back to tapering tips on which are mounted vertical rudder fins. The ailerons are so rigged that they also serve as elevators, thus simplifying control. The chunky two-place cabin has windows of a flexible fireproof fibre known as plastacelle. Like the Hammond, it has a Menasco motor and pusher propeller at the rear, a third wheel in front. Because this wheel is hooked up with the rudder, the plane may be steered on the ground like an automobile, a decided advantage when taxiing in a crosswind...
