"Case of Need, A"
 
1975
Larry Mystery
1
 

A sort of female Larry attempts to cheat on a test, but is caught when Larry finds a flaw in her alibi.

A very weak story, turning as it does on somebody knowing the names of three men who served as FDR’s vice president. I can believe that somebody who was in their twenties during Roosevelt’s administration might remember something like that, and I can believe that someone like Larry might know a bit of trivia like that (or Nancy Gilroy), but I do think it’s rather unfair to expect the average reader to be up on veep trivia like that.
