Dear God, in a very few days the President will be killed. I see his casket coming into the White House. I hope that Kay Halle reaches him in time to tell him not to make that Texas trip."" These words were spoken by Mrs. Dixon five days before the assassination of President Kennedy, an event Mrs. Dixon had actually predicted years earlier: ""a blue-eyed President elected in 1960 will be assassinated""... Parade Magazine March 11, 1956. Mrs. Dixon's story is as remarkable as her talent. A mature, gentle, extremely religious woman who helps her husband sell real estate in private life, Mrs. Dixon has fulfilled a gypsy fortune teller's forecast by becoming a world-renowned seeress and the famed political prognosticator of Washington, D.C. Her numerous predictions include: the name of Kennedy's assassin; Teddy Kennedy's accident; Gandhi's assassination; Dag Hammarskjold and Carole Lombard's deaths by plane; Marilyn Monroe's suicide; Sinatra's son's kidnapping; the partition of India; China's adoption of Communism; DeGaulle's competitive France; the Soviet Sputnik; and President FDR's death. The last prediction occurred when she was called into conference with Roosevelt in 1944. She mentioned at that time that we would eventually be allied with Germany and Russia against Red China; our next great foreign problem would be Africa, and that racial problems would dominate the domestic scene in the 1960's...Astounding, amazing, unnerving. Mrs. Montgomery uses a crystal ball but we don't need one. This contemporary Cassandra should tantalize and magnetize.
