February 1968 story for Esquire, "A Hound Dog to the Manor Born." The only reference in
newspaper accounts is in Bob Johnson's July 5 story in the Press-Scimitar, which states: "Elvis
joked about his recent appearance on the Steve Allen show, when he had to restrain some of his
wriggling," but no direct quotation is made.
