Several lawyers found fault with Belli's style. In the opinion of St. Louis Lawyer Morris Shenker, "Belli violated almost every principle of a criminal defense. This was a case that called for humbleness. It required a serene, solemn and sober defense." Added Beverly Hills Lawyer Paul Caruso: "Wade was perfect in his role. Belli was too flashy.

Both moods are deliciously portrayed by seven actors and one actress in the Adams House Drama Society production of The Fantasticks, which began its two weekend run last night...
...tell, such as: "Whaddya mean, is psychiatry worth bothering with? One of these men may become another Eisenhower!" But anybody who imagines that M.D. has exhausted the subject of service breakdowns, had better go see Man in the Middle, which deserts the airborne troops and takes an altogether sober look at a psychopath in khaki...
