In honor of his birthday, we\'ll hear Jack Webb in a pair of old time radio performances - roles that show off a side of the actor/director\'s persona very different from Sgt. Joe Friday. In "Jack of Clubs" (originally aired on ABC on February 20, 1949), he\'s waterfront shamus\\xa0Pat Novak For Hire. Then, he\'s an unscrupulous private eye who dabbles in crime in "Perfect Alibi" from\\xa0The Whistler (originally aired on CBS on June 12, 1949).
