by Jack Finney ‧ RELEASE DATE: May 1, 1970
A high precision presentation of a remarkable experiment. Simon Morley, an artist with a premium on imagination, is chosen by a group operating on the theory that time is charted by a myriad of details. For weeks he is secluded in an apartment in New York's famous landmark, the Dakota, where he dresses, eats, entertains himself and reads newspapers in the style of the New York of 1894; finally he walks out into the Central Park of that January. Mr. Finney has researched with enthusiasm and the scenes Simon describes have a graphic vitality. And there is a mystery that Simon is determined to solve having to do with a suicide and a cryptic letter that ends ""the sending of this should cause the Destruction by Fire of the entire World.
