Just to get caught up on this thread...I pretty much agree with
the above, though I'd like to add that Neil has great difficult, it
seems, displaying any of his warmer feelings. Laura being something of
an exception to this, though even there his warmth is more a matter of
contrast to the range of edgy cool to icy fury we usually get. I think
Neil was angry at Willie (whereas I respected Willie more!), I also think
the anger was a way of venting his concern (which makes me respect Neil
less).
