Bear Trap by Alan E. Nourse, Science Fiction, Fantasy, Adventure 12+

🔖 A great man -- the nation's peacemaker -- had died, and Shandor was at the end of his rope. The chubby man handed him a small envelope. "Apparently he wrote that a long time ago. Told his daughter to send it to Public Information Board immediately in event of his death. Read it." Shandor unfolded the thin paper, and blinked unbelieving:"In event of my death during the next few months, a certain amount of biographical writing will be inevitable. It is my express wish that this writing, in whatever form it may take, be done by Mr. Thomas L. Shandor, staff writer of the Federal Public Information Board. I believe that man alone is qualified to handle this assignment."(Signed) David P. Ingersoll"Secretary of State,United States of America"
