Eddie Chapman is a gay dog. International society intellectuals like Director John Huston admire his mind, and blondes his wire-and-whipcord body. He can keep a pub in fits of laughter or a softly lit drawing room at hushed attention. He is Mayfair's favorite criminal ("I'd like you to meet Eddie Chapman, my smuggler friend.

...With Christmas approaching, the 3,000-grave Henno Memorial Pets Cemetery at Glen Ellen, Calif., prepared for its gayest season of the year. The Henno cemetery's clients maintain a high degree of active pet-remembrance: one departed dog is interred on an innerspring mattress, a good many other animals, birds & snakes are buried in infants' caskets and have granite or marble headstones with such inscriptions as "Resting on the Trail" and "Our Baby Girl."
