...prohibits "the unauthorized practice of law by any lay agency, personal or corporate." Invisible Bar. Such restrictions were designed to protect the bar's right to set professional standards and the client's right to seek legal help in his own way. Unhappily, the canons also tend to isolate lawyers from many a vast pool of potential clients. Even the bar's free legal-aid societies are often so unadvertised that indigents are unaware of them. And millions of newly middle-class Americans have been buying, selling and bequeathing property with minimal legal help-either because they...
...gooder zeal eludes them; nor do they share the compulsive egalitarianism of Barnard students. They are neither so muscularly athletic as the Bryn Mawr girls nor quite so country-sweet as the Mount Holyoke lasses. Their distinguishing characteristic, in short, is that they don't stand out.

Like most starving young beginners, Dunn supported himself with odd jobs, including one as a sports rewrite man on a daily paper, another as a hotel detective. (He is an excellent shot with small arms; large guns tend to fire him rather than the bullet.) Gradually, acting jobs began materializing. He played jesters, fools, a cop and a vaudeville performer off-Broadway, made his first Broadway appearance as the insides of a robot in How to Make...
