Truman Capote (1924–1984) was never one to shy away from provocation. A case in point is the little game he devised, which he called « Daisy’s International Chain. »
Essentially, it was a vast chain—a network built on the connections linking one person to another. It is said, for instance, that in France, there are on average seven people standing between you and the President of the Republic.
Well, Truman Capote boasted that he could establish just such a chain connecting Cab Calloway to Adolf Hitler…
Here’s one suggestion:
- 1 Cab Calloway to Charlie’s Orchestra;
- 2 Charlie’s Orchestra to Joseph Goebbels;
- 3 Goebbels to Hitler.
Naturally, no one ever verified it. If you feel up to the challenge…
