Pallay was a bit of a shady character. It was said that he had Mafia connections. A stock promoter and investor who had changed his name from Abramson he was often part of George's entourage someone who arranged the tickets knew the right bootleggers. He was the friend who would get the girl for George and then get rid of the girl for George. Pallay was singularly devoted to George and no one had been more vigilant during the final days. Pallay had played a  key role at the hospital during Gershwin's brain surgery having been stationed at a desk just outside the operating theater along with George's agent Arthur Lyons. As the operation progressed the doctors would tell Pallay what was happening and then he would relay the latest update by telephone to the four family members – Lee and Ira and Lee's sister Emily Paley and her husband Lou who had just arrived – waiting on another floor. At first the news seemed good and Pallay informed the family that a cyst the size of a grapefruit had been discovered and excised. This seemed to be good news and the doctors were momentarily optimistic. The news was relayed to the family. Then the surgeons discovered that in fact there remained an embedded tumor. At this point George's brain was swelling uncontrollably. The outlook was grim. This terrible update was relayed by Pallay to the family."

In this instance however it serves as a presentation vehicle for a far more significant association object. New York: Quadrangle / The New York Times Book Co., 1973 unknown
