Much of what follows was first written over fifty years ago now as a college English class assignment. It was rewritten over a decade ago as one of my articles for this newspaper. At this season of the year, it seems appropriate to tell the story once more.

Between the years of 1952 and 1956, one of the programs on television was an anthology series called the "Four Star Playhouse." Four well-known motion pictures stars took turns playing the lead role in each week's play. One of the plays was called "The Answer," and it starred David Niven. The play aired a few days before Christmas in 1954.
