—MARTIN VAN BUREN, THE 8TH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES “WE didn’t plant watercress,” I protested. “Does no one fact-check anymore?” Frank leaned back as he chuckled. “Only you would latch on to that, Casey. It’s not what they’re calling the budding scandal that has me worried. What pulled me down here this morning is the fact that someone thinks a scandal exists, and others are listening.” “Who’s listening?” I demanded. “I saw the article. It was nothing but a jumble of lies printed in a throwaway newspaper that no one reads.” “Someone read it,” he said. Frank Lispon towered about a foot over my five feet seven inches. A man well into his late fifties, he kept in shape. His runner’s body was extra lean and sinewy. In his youth, he’d competed in the five-hundred-meter track and field event and gone all the way to the Olympics. That same winning drive combined with his naturally friendly manner made him an effective press secretary.
