Family History
The Smith's were proud of their family tradition. Their ancestors had come to America on the Mayflower. Their line had included Senators, Pastors, and Wall Street wizards.
Now they decided to compile a family history, a legacy for the children. They hired a fine author.
Only one problem arose: how to handle their great-uncle who was executed in the electric chair.
But the author said not to worry; he could handle that section of history tactfully.
When the book appeared, the family turned to the section on Uncle George. There, they read.
"George Smith occupied a chair of applied electronics at an important government institution; he was attached to his position by the strongest of ties. His death came as a real shock."
