The amazing career of Ferdinand Demara, "The Great Impostor"
Ferdinand Demara earned his reputation as the Great Impostor: For over 22 years he criss-crossed the country, posing as everything from an auditor to a zoologist and stealing a succession of identities to fool his employers. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll review Demara's motivation, morality, and techniques -- and the charismatic spell he seemed to cast over others.
We'll also make Big Ben strike 13 and puzzle over a movie watcher's cat.
