Presented are four short stories. The first is entitled The Constitutional Convention, How Political Parties and No Term Limits Shattered the Dreams of the Founders. It describes the Revolutionary Period through an interview with John Dickinson, a real person who was a lawyer, plantation owner, and politician. After declining to sign the Declaration of Independence, Mr. Dickinson wrote the Articles of Confederation, was a delegate to the Constitutional Convention, and signed the Constitution. Mr. Dickinson warns that because of political parties and the lack of term limits, the country has the potential to change from a nation of independent, free thinkers into one of men who would exalt party over service and reap great profits from selling influence.The second story, Pocahontas, Her Legend or Her Life as a Peacemaker, asks the question: Should we recognize Pocahontas for her legend, saving the life of Captain John Smith, or for her accomplishments as the peacemaker between her Native American tribe and the English.In the third story, The Case of the Clever Chemist, a young man is employed as a house boy for a rich family. The family has a young daughter. He becomes a successful chemist. When the daughter is accused of murdering her father, she contacts the chemist to help her.In the fourth story, The Heist, an assistant curator has his museum borrow a valuable Monet painting for a lecture. He meets the painting’s authenticator, a beautiful young lady. When the Monet is stolen, the female FBI agent sets out to prove that the authenticator is the perpetrator. The curator unravels the mystery to prove otherwise.
