"I like all," said Jackie.

"Just so I'm busy. I guess if I had to make a choice I'd say I like the theater least because it's so confining and so repetitious.

He wore slacks and a sports jacket, snappy, but not gaudy, and a carnation in his buttonhole. That carnation reminded me of his role as Minnesota Fats In "The Hustler," the cool, sartorially Immaculate pool player with th dead pan expression and the boutonniere.
