Synopsis: From back cover of 1962 edition: "The future is here with us now, if we only knew how to look for it." Professor August Moe made a promise: "Four days from now, I will enable you to see for one instant of time - no longer - a newspaper of the 10th day of June next year." He kept that promise; he lifted the curtain an inch, so that five people could actually see what happened one year ahead. What were they do with that knowledge?
