They soon experienced a tragedy that was to stay with them always. Four years later, at Camp Meade in Maryland, their first son, Doud Dwight ("Icky"), 3, died of scarlet fever.

Granting an interview to a worshipful young fan (Matthew Cowles), Hathaway utters the pomposity: "You get what you give." And that becomes the text for a murder that is as amusing as it is satisfying...
