-=>While in the White Hart, Sam Waring explained to Suzze Tiernan that<=-
 SW> Well, I've gone all retro and picked up Frances and Richard 
 SW> Lockridge's DEAD AS A DINOSAUR, from 1952.  A book-club copy came into
 SW> the  bookstore, and while I was brodarting the remnants of the dust
 SW> jacket, I  read the blurb and it sounded interesting enough that I
 SW> thought to give it  a try.  The Lockridges use a husband-and-wife
 SW> detective team, Jerry and  Pam North.  Jerry's an editor for a New York
 SW> publisher, and far's I can  make out, Pam is a sort of Nora Charles
 SW> type--at least, I don't see her  engaged in any outside-the-home
I think I remember the Norths from a radio program--never did read any of
the novels--don't think I even knew there were novels featuring them at the
time.  Must be back in the late 40s or early 50s.  The Norths were
middleclass types in comparison to the high society Charles.  Think they had
a dog too--a mutt if I'm not mistaken.
Hmmm, might even have been an early TV show too, but I won't bet on that.
... Open mouth, insert foot, echo internationally.
