“The Legend of how Jeff & Paul & Gabe & Ev reunited, bonded and lived happily ever after”

“The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance” : loved the movie, loved even more the hit song by Gene Pitney.

But what I am enjoyed the most, being the wicked cynic that I am, was the reporter tearing up his big big scoop: that the upcoming Vice Presidental candidate, Senator and former Governor Stoddard, actually wasn’t “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance”.

Because upon reflection, he realizes that when the Legend becomes the Fact, its best to print the Legend, not the actual Facts.

The facts may not, in the end, bear out the legend that after Jeff Samuelson reunited with his birth family of Paul, Evelyn and Gabriel Wortman after 40 years, that the whole family blended and bonded and lived happily ever after.

But for now, the media will go along with the gag....
