1 is the 1001 Arabian Nights, 2 is Teddy Roosevelt 3 is Harun Al Rashid
Roosevelt used to go out at night to catch police officers who were out of their post while he was in NYPD. He was called Harun Al Roosevelt by the papers.
(1) Scheherazade and Shahryar - arabian nights etc, one story of harun al-rashid (3?). (2) Teddy roosevelt. quoting wiki: "Roosevelt, when he was a New York Police Department Commissioner, was called in the local newspapers "Haroun-al-Roosevelt" for his habit of lonely all-night rambles on the streets of Manhattan, surreptitiously catching police officers off their posts. (Harun al-Rashid is said in the 1001 Nights to have wandered Baghdad at night dressed as a merchant in order to observe the lives of his subjects). "
Roosevelt, when he was NYC police commisioner would roam the streets many nights looking at how his officers worked, very similar to Haroun Al Rashid would do in the tales from 1001 Arabian nights as Sheherazade spun them out. This got him the nickname Haroun Al Roosevelt.
