   The charset issue will not let me quote.   
      
   My father got a copy of HtBaJM back in the late '60s,   
   and I (unwisely,my parents told me later) showed it to   
   his Jewish mother.   
      
   She insisted it was inaccurate,   
   and as an example selected a line of dialogue   
   that she had used on me repeatedly,dismissing   
   the idea that she had ever used it.   
      
   Greenburg and his cats were featured some years   
   afterward in a New York (magazine) pictorial of   
   various persons of some renown and their felines.   
   According to Greenburg,youngest cat Maurice,who   
   was in the foreground of the photo,was the key   
   force in family decisions.   
      
   It struck me as I composed this that he might have   
   named the cat in reference to AIG/Starr tycoon   
   Maurice H. Greenberg (I don't think Morris the   
   9 Lives cat was a thing yet at this point).   
   But quote possibly not.
