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.

The World Trade Center towers MUST rise again,
at least as tall as before...or terror has triumphed.

The Morris the Cat campaign began in 1968.

There was a psychic named Maurice Woodruff who fronted a syndicated
show of predictions and celebrity readings during 1969. Robert Q.
Lewis was the co-host.
