The President's Mystery Plot

Franklin D. Roosevelt

2.5/5 ( ratings)

Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 67-18930

"How can a man disappear with five million dollars in any negotiable form and not be traced? For years I have tried to answer that problem. In every method suggested I have been able to find a flaw. The more you consider the question, the more difficult it becomes. Now---can you tell me how it can be done?" Thus said President Franklin Delano Roosevelt to his good friend Fulton Oursler, then editor of Liberty Magazine. "Suppose," replied Oursler, "that we were to ask the leading writers of the United States to solve this problem. Why could they not collaborate on a mystery story in which your problem is dramatized in the person of a man faced with this predicament?"

The President's famous, joyous laugh responded. "That would be fun! Go ahead. See what you can all do with it."
