In THIS issue, Chandler Whipple presents as
fiction the beautiful and moving story of
Abraham Lincoln's last evening in the White
House on April Ia just rs years ago.
The story reminds us of an unsolved mys-
terry Have you noticed the old painted clocks
that hang over watchmakers' shops? In most
cases, you'll find the painted hands pointing
to exactly the same hour - l8 minutes past 8.
Why? Does anyone know the answer? There's
tradition among watchmakers that the
painted hands commemorate the exact mo-
ment of Abraham Linooln's assassination.
BUT - Booths fatal shot was fired at
1920 PM on April Ia, 1865. and Lincoln died
between 7:2O and 7:25 the next morning. So
the mystery still remains: What happened at
8:l8?" It's haunting question. When we get
the right answer, we'll print it in this column.

National Issues: Sudden shifts
