11 MR. LINCOLN - cont'd the memory of your past life is blotted out, and you acquire a new parentage and in some cases a new language; but you must realize, what we all realize here, that even the dead have a will to live. Open any grave and you will see how the hair has continued to grow." MR. X. "Well don't worry, I'll take it easy on you and the rest of us here will set up a sort of compromising pragmatic truth chain, so that we all can live again." HEAD COUNSELOR "It is not well that we all live again. If the same baneful ideas are reborn, as Nazism is being reborn today, and creeps into the very fabric of humanity, it is cancerous and dooms all mankind. If you let one who again is destined to leadership survive, he may destroy the world and if you are proven by the Ages as having been right, you may find no place to be reborn: so the checks and balances of your survival are here. The question is...will the world be better if Mr. Lincoln is sent here again. His life cycle is until April 15...today is February 21st...we have roughly a month and a half to decide. (turning to the readers) Are we now ready to proceed?" READERS (unison) "We are ready." HEAD COUNSELOR (to 3rd reader) "Are you ready?" 3RD READER "I request a leave until tomorrow. Malcolm has suffered much...he's tired from his plight and left spent by his death throws and still a bit mystified by his surroundings. Perhaps a day!"
