Has been enjoying Leverage!
Sometimes I really want to smush Nate!
(yes I know this isn’t a picture of Nate….but it’s a nice shot of Timothy Hutton!)
It’s not a picture of Archie Goodwin, either, but we’ll take it here at NWSC!
Happy 125th Birthday to Rex Stout, who was born on December 1, 1886 in Noblesville, Indiana. Thank you for Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin!

Disguise for Murder
- Inspector Cramer: How many people were here today
- Saul Panzer: 219 people between the hours of 2 and 5:30, not all at once. They came and went.
- Inspector Cramer: So Mrs. Carlisle went into the office, why didn't you see that?
- Saul Panzer: I was watching Archie talking to a man. He asked him what his name was, and then he stormed out. It was Malcom Vedder
- Inspector Cramer: How do you know that?
- Saul Panzer: I was working the door.
- Inspector Cramer: You saw him once!
- Saul Panzer: I said, I was working the door.
I’m told that your Stalin, when he was ill several months ago, summoned two likely successors to his side. He also summoned two birds. The first candidate, terrified that the bird would fly free, squeezed the poor creature so tightly that he killed it. The second, seeing the displeasure cloud over Stalin’s face, was so frightened that he hardly held the bird at all, and, of course, it escaped.
“Bring me a bird!” thundered Stalin. He held this bird by the legs and slowly, one by one, plucked each feather of this poor creature from his tiny little body. Stalin then opened his palm and there lay this bird, helpless, naked, shivering. And he looked up, and smiled gently, and said, “You see, this little bird is thankful for the human warmth of my palm.”

You’re suffering from an occupational disease. When an international financier is confronted by a holdup man with a gun, he automatically hands over not only his money and jewelry but also his shirt and pants, because it doesn’t occur to him that a robber might draw the line somewhere.

A taxi pulled up, and three men got out. Two of them were just men whose names I knew and with whose records I was fairly familiar, but the third was Saul Panzer, the one guy I want within hearing the day I get hung on the face of a cliff with jet eagles zooming at me.
