Man With An Axe
“Barbara Tuchman, “The Historian as Artist”
I agree, though I am no writer, nor a historian. I am a detective. My name is Mulheisen. My initial impulse was to tell this story in the form of a report, a crime report, but for reasons that I hope will become plain, it seemed more appropriate to simply write it up as a story. Maybe by the end of this narrative I'll know what to do with it.
By now I have talked to just about everybody who was involved that is still available and I have thought about ...their versions and this is what I have come up with. I think it is probably as close to the truth as we are likely to come to about what happened to Jimmy Hoffa, the former president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, who disappeared from public view on July 30, 1975.
Though, after all, this is not just an account of the Hoffa affair. Like every story, its true origins are hidden deep in the past. When we stand in the present, confronted with this or that event, and look back, only the most narrow-sighted can see a single or even just a few paths dwindling into the distance.MoreLess
