When Warren Plowright asked his girlfriend to marry him, she said no, that he was too boring, safe and idealistic. That was on his birthday. Three days later he was heading across the country with the FBI and the Mob chasing after him. A villain to some; a hero to many, as the American public listened to updates on the search for him and began to root for him, that he would be able to find the evidence he needed to clear his name and make good and the American Way right again.

Will Stanton entertained America for over fifty years with his humorous short stories and articles, including "There's No Mayonnaise in Ireland" (Reader's Digest, May 1971), that were published in such magazines as Reader's Digest, Woman's Day, Saturday Evening Post, McCalls, New Yorker, Life, Look and Esquire. His poem, "Dandelions", and other works appeared in several anthologies and text books, and his article, "How To Tell a Democrat from a Republican", was read into the Congressional Record. Will's stories have been published in magazines and anthologies worldwide. Will published three books. ONCE UPON A TIME IS ENOUGH is a compilation of satires, hilarious analyses of several of the traditional fairy tales; GOLDEN EVENINGS OF SUMMER, a novel based in the bootleg era of Prohibition, was translated into German, and made into the Disney movie, "Charley and the Angel"; and THE OLD FAMILIAR BOOBY TRAPS OF HOME is a compilation of short stories illustrating the frustrations, chaos and humor of family life.
