Whats new, women lie, cheat steal all the time and get away with it....

The law is full of fine distinctions. Last week, a woman shot her boyfriend to death in a parking lot....multiple times.

The police took her to the station and questioned her as a "person of interest" for quite some time before arresting her, even though there were multiple eyewitnesses. However, the moment she either invoked 5th Amendment or tried to leave, she would have been instantly arrested. Making the arrest is a "game changing" event which gives the suspect many more rights.

On radio at the time, 'mp', Webb was still selling "Fatima" cigarettes. At the start of the television version, it was "Chesterfield". In the fall of 1952, Liggett & Myers began "pushing" Chesterfield on the radio series as well, due to the popularity of the TV show.

That's really too bad, Barney did a good job. In fact, I think all of Webb's partners were terrific. My favorite two were Ben Alexander and Harry Morgan.

Chesterfield? I thought he smoked Fatimas?

Cool! Check out Webb and Lee Marvin in "Pete Kelly's Blues".
