		Rawson told me that he considered the information I provided in my letter to Ailes as “hearsay” evidence that was theoretical, merely raised questions of possible conspiracies about the OKC bombing case.
		Rawson’s response was that he and Fox did not have the time or the budget to receive, evaluate and incorporate my factual information for the Fox special.
		Rawson repeated that Rawson and Fox would be not be using much if any of my factual information in the Fox special on the OKC bombing because of the time and budget limitation excuse he had used with me the day before.

	Magic Books
		This is a decent enough tale that has some of the characteristics of a Clayton Rawson or John Dickson Carr novel (the presence of a magician and mysterious footprints in the snow recalls Carr's masterful 'Hollow Man', written some years earlier).
		Rawson was himself a magician (he contributed various card and ‘mind reading’ tricks to magic magazines and books – some of which are still used by magicians today) and the novels contain numerous small details that will be recognised by anyone with a knowledge of conjuring.
		Rawson provides compendious footnotes to explain the jargon as well as the history of various magical tricks.

		Since the other poll for Clayton Rawson doesn't work, here's another.
		I think that, after Stout, Rawson is the one most urgently in need of his own section.
		He wasn't prolific, but given how popular Carr is around here, and given Carr's professional and personal relationship with Rawson, I think Rawson merits his own section.

	Amazon.com: The Footprints on the Ceiling (A Crime Classic): Books: Clayton Rawson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Rawson's great idea was that the locked-room mysteries were a sort of magic tricks, so what would be more natural than having a magician as a detective?
		I found this novel very funny, fast-moving and enjoyable to read, as long as you didn't take it very seriously (as the name implies, murderer seems to have left footprints in the ceiling!).
		However, I would recommend this and other Rawson's books (especially to already-mentioned Death from a Top Hat) to all the fans of humoristic locked-room mysteries in the style of John Dickson Carr/Carter Dickson (whose great admirer and friend Rawson was).

		He was editor of EQMM for a while and he may have won an award for that, but if so, it isn't shown....

		Unfortunately this is an example of what Fox News OKC bombing special producer Clayton Rawson very erroneously called "hearsay" when I spoke to him after Rawson was forwarded my letter to Fox CEO Roger Ailes.
		The Fox producer Clayton Rawson dismissed my information about the Secret Service referenced surveillance tape as hearsay.
		Rawson and the other Fox producer, Peter Russo, told me they were relying heavily on their interview with OKC bombing senior FBI case agent Jon Hersley who had told the judge in the Oklahoma state trial of Terry Nichols that the tape referred to in the Secret Service tape log did not exist.

		The Man Who Wouldn't Die is based on No Coffin for the Corpse, a Merlini the Great mystery penned by Clayton Rawson.
		Alas, magician-sleuth Merlini has been reduced to an expository bit role, and the property has been converted into a Michael Shayne series entry.
		More interesting for its supporting cast than its story, The Man Who Wouldn't Die is one of the lesser Michael Shayne mysteries, with Shayne seeming to be arbitrarily inserted in the proceedings.
