...Hayley lets out of the bag is a Siamese. Male. Blue-eyed. Seal point. She calls him "D.C." which means "darn cat" but nonetheless has a nice bureaucratic ring to it.

They are interested because he came home wearing a wristwatch, which may have been slipped around his neck by a kidnaped lady bank teller (Grayson Hall).

On the phone (and he was seldom off it) he was equally effective. Hubert Humphrey once complained that the only way he could resist Johnson's hypnotic persuasiveness was by not answering...
...Then, 23 years ago, he wrote a one-act, 65-minute postlude to that play; Hughie is a kind of Iceman's ice cube. But O'Neill was a stage animal to the theater born, and even his minor efforts are brushes with the lion's paw...
