...resembles a jack-in-the-box out of the box, his long, gangling figure springing about beneath a jolly mop of brown hair. Best is his voice, which he uses like a virtuoso, rasping out some lines, snarling others like Burgess Meredith, or shooting up into a terribly British falsetto a la Rex Harrison.

Phelan describes him as something of an embarrassment to his five low-profile colleagues. "Sometimes he would burst into falsetto song, dance alone to music in public places or suddenly begin to imitate a horse neighing or a dog barking," writes Phelan. A onetime high school football player, Waldron has three children. A fourth drowned last summer in the Bahamas...
