Note

1. Author's Note: "This play is fiction suggested by facts. That President Harding went camping with Henry Ford and Thomas Edison is fact; their evening 'escape' from the media campsite is fictional. Conversations are fictional, but based on factual events, documented personal philosophies and the political realities of the time" --Mark St. Germain.
