Edward-C-Banfield-The-Case-of-the-Handcuffed-SheriffBack in June, I wrote of the American Foundation for Continuing Education (AFCE). I noted that Edward C. Banfield had written at least two short stories for this organization, which include:

Edward C. Banfield, “Growing Problem,” (Chicago, IL: American Foundation for Continuing Education, 1959); and

Edward C. Banfield, “The Case of the Blighted City,” (Chicago, IL: American Foundation for Continuing Education, 1959).

Well, Chris DeMuth, former head of the American Enterprise Institute, recently sent me a third Banfield AFCE fiction piece:

Edward C. Banfield, “The Case of the Handcuffed Sheriff,” (Chicago, IL: American Foundation for Continuing Education, 1957).

Thank you, Chris.  Like the other stories, this one has been put in PDF format and may be downloaded freely.
