Mysterious Days: 24 May

1952
Obsessive one-up man Anthony Abbott (born Fulton Oursler) dies. His mystery novels featuring New York police commissioner Thatcher Colt usually begin with the word "About" (About the Murder of the Night Club Lady, 1931). He does this so the books will appear first on any library lists (that are sorted by title rather than author, anyway!)
