In Pulling Strings, Kaiser explores the extraordinary career of Melville A.
Clark (1883-1953), a musician, inventor, entrepreneur, community leader, and

Clark's story unfolds in
fascinating detail: a musical encounter with President Wilson, entertaining
President F. D. Roosevelt, a visit to Buckingham Palace to present Princess
Elizabeth with a music box, and the journey of a Clark Irish harp to
Antarctica with Admiral Byrd. "
