The tough, quick-thinking, steel-trap lawyer is NBC's Sam Benedict, played by Edmond O'Brien with sheer nervous drive, solving ten cases an hour, picking up phones, barking, slamming them down, dictating letters at 200 words a minute, grabbing punks by the throat, and so on.

...folks were feeding pigeons, house sparrows, mockingbirds and grackles. while laughing gulls, ducks and herons splashed in and out of the water. There, in a half-hour, health workers easily caught 70 mosquitoes (Culex nigripalpus, one of the species now known to carry SLE virus) in a small trap.
