Bill Cooper Named the Man Who Would Be Blamed 75 Days Before 9/11
Eagar, Arizona, June 2001. A one-legged shortwave broadcaster leans into his microphone and tells his listeners a major attack is coming, and that the man they will be handed to blame is Osama bin Laden. Seventy-five days later the towers fall and the name crosses every network before noon. What almost no one listening could know is that the same government had once handed this man a secret of its own, locked in a safe, and that eight weeks after the towers came down he would be dead in his own front yard.

Joseph McCarthy: The Paper in His Hand
Wheeling, West Virginia, February 1950. A forgotten junior senator holds up a sheet of paper in a hotel banquet room and reads out a number of communists he says are working inside the State Department. He never says the number the same way twice, and there is no recording to pin it down. What almost no one in that room could know is that the proof he was reaching for did exist, sitting in a locked cabinet under a code name, in a file even the President may not have been cleared to read.

The Experiment: America Turns 250
Every great power seems to run out of road near the two hundred and fifty year mark. America reaches that number in 2026, and this year feels flat, the bunting already up and the spirit not arrived. In 1976 the country stood on the same point of the same curve, at the floor of the worst decade most of them had lived through, and then the strangest thing in the record happened. The mood of a whole nation made the steepest climb upward anyone had ever measured, and no one could account for it. This is the pattern, the men who saw it coming, and what it asks of the people alive for the turn.

Clarence Thomas: The Man Who Raised Him
The radio is calling a hurricane up out of the Caribbean. A boy is handed to a grandfather he barely knows, a man with an eighth-grade education, a fuel-oil truck, and one rule: you will have the chance we never got, and you will not lay it down. Years later that boy sits on the Supreme Court. This is the grandfather who made him, and the forty acres of red Georgia clay where he learned to run a furrow straight and true.

Nixon: 3,700 Hours
He wired his own office and recorded thirty-seven hundred hours of himself, the most powerful man in the world taping the evidence that would end his presidency. Why a man builds the machine that will convict him, and what waited on the reels nobody was ever meant to hear.

George Washington: The Four Bullets That Missed
1755, the Monongahela. Twenty-three years old and shaking with fever, George Washington rode straight through an ambush that killed or wounded half the men around him. Two horses shot dead under him. Four musket balls through his coat. Not one through the body. He spent the next forty-four years wondering why the lead found everyone but him.

Tesla: What They Found in Room 3327
January 1943. Nikola Tesla is found dead in a New York hotel room, owing two thousand dollars, while every light in the city runs on his current. By nightfall the government seals the room and carries off eighty trunks of his papers, and hands one young physicist three days to decide whether a lifetime of work is dangerous. This is what he found, and what the file finally said.
