About this listen

Newly reelected and embarking on a national speaking tour, President William McKinley is a busy chief executive—too busy, his staff decides, to meet with a clothier who’s offered to fit the commander in chief with a snazzy piece of outerwear.

Instead, the meeting is rescheduled until after McKinley returns from a brief trip to the Pan American Exposition in Buffalo, NY. Bad idea. Because that clothier's killer addition to POTUS's wardrobe could have life or death consequences for McKinley -- and for the future of the nation. Listen and learn all about it.
