A Week Ago Wednesday

The human mind is an organ of infinite complexity and of infinite potentiality. This delicate and mysterious organ, when it is healthy, can create beauty, work miracles, and envision God. But when it is shocked, disturbed, and unbalanced, its capacity for horror and evil is equally limitless.

It is not such a mind our story is concerned. The mind of a woman who lets her imagination run away with terrifying results. Listen, listen then, as Miss Hillary Brooke stars in, a week ago Wednesday, which begins in exactly one minute.

Let's figure out how to become president of the United States without being elected. Oh, it can be done all right. So all you have to do is have a special job in Congress, or be a member of the Cabinet.

Now naturally, you have to meet the other qualifications of age, birth, and residence. The law determining the order of presidential succession specifies that after the vice president comes the speaker of the house followed by the president pro town of the senate then if for any reason these people are no longer available the cabinet members are set up in line to take over the white house duties

the first one is the secretary of state followed by the secretary of the treasury and defense then come the attorney general the postmaster general so on down the line through the secretary's of interior agriculture commerce and labor Then, if that list is used up, the only thing is to have an election.

But so far, the need has never gone beyond the vice presidency. And now, to keep you in. And I had crawled that Wednesday morning. I tried to remember why, but I can't.
