When Stan Cassidy, a reporter on The Gazette, is assigned to write a memorial piece on the recently deceased Harold C. Springer--Congressman, Senator, former Ambassador to France, Secretary of Labor, local-boy-made-good--everyone he interviews ends up telling a story about Springer?s best friend, MacAllister Davis.
