The Puzzler

New Puzzler, 3/21/97: What Do These Famous Men Have In Common?

Ray: What do the following men have in common?

Tom: Who are they?

Ray: Get your pencil and write this down. Last week's puzzler required a pencil and so does this one. Ulysses S. Grant, Rudyard Kipling, Woodrow Wilson, Grover Cleveland, and Calvin Coolidge. Now, I know they're dead.

Tom: I got it! They were all President's of the United States.

Ray: Close. Except for that Wilson guy.
