foreign Buckingham Palace has announced the death of her majesty Queen Elizabeth II when a sovereign is crowned it’s recognized that it’s only temporary and that Crown will someday be worn by the king of kings and Lord of lords Elizabeth II by the grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland Queen head of the Commonwealth Queen of Scots defender of the faith
God sent into the world a unique person neither a philosopher nor a general but a savior with the power to forgive Jesus Christ The Prince of Peace and an anchor in my life when Queen Elizabeth II with crowned the Archbishop of Canterbury laid the crown on her head and here is what he said I give thee Oh gracious lady this Crown to where until he who deserves the right to wear it shall return some people may seem surprised to hear that my father Billy Graham and her majesty Queen Elizabeth II were friends
it’s unlikely after all that American southern evangelist and a British monarch would have anything in common but they did their friendship was built on a shared love for Jesus Christ in belief in God’s word he admired that she spoke publicly about her faith in Jesus Christ he also had a strong connection to the people of the United Kingdom this story reaches back to a time when my father’s Ministry was just beginning at the end of World War II and in his first trip abroad foreign in March of 1946 Billy Graham took the
first ever commercial flight from Chicago to London he and his colleagues were embarking on a missionary trip to Britain and Europe World War II had left the continent in shambles the despair he witnessed made a strong impact on the young preacher London was still a bomb belt shell for the most part and people have not begun to recover it was very difficult very tough it touched my father what he saw what the war had done to Europe it gave him a burden for the people of the UK we didn’t have the itinerary all planned
out we were believing that God would give us wisdom as we followed his leading he wasn’t the program that the world knew at that point he was just a young preacher from North Carolina my father was there to preach the gospel after returning to the states Billy continued to pray for Europe and the friends he’d made there he hoped for an opportunity to go back and share the gospel again almost a decade later an exciting invitation came Billy accepted and a London Crusade was set to begin on March 1 1954. Billy and Ruth Graham made their
journey by ocean liner but just days before they were due to arrive they received some troubling news there was controversy as their mission was about to begin the Press were all over him before the campaign the reactions of the British press were significant a number of the London dailies had been openly antagonistic and hostile foreign my father had made some statements about British politics it made some enemies and of course made a little controversy they had members of parliament there was petitions and others to keep him from
coming the negative press gave Billy and his team deep doubts about whether people would even come to the first meeting and if they did come would they respond to the message I’ve heard Mr Graham say that on the way to the arena he thought to himself well this is entirely now God’s work we’ve done all we can do I imagine he had steal himself to think that nobody would show but as they come into view of hearing aid how there were scores of people and of course the building was filled and they never looked back that
little bit of controversy gave some publicity people didn’t know much about him all of a sudden began to hear about this preacher Billy Graham we have not come here to the city of London for saving we have not come here with any great ideas that we are going to tell you how to do it we haven’t come here to try to reform you we’ve come here at the invitation of these churches to help lead you in a crusade to win men to Jesus Christ and we are here to honor and glorify only one person and that is the man in the glory Jesus Christ
he is the only one that deserves Our Praise and our honor and our Glory we went for six weeks and the Lord began to move in a marvelous way at haringey and we went night after night with people filling every available place it was extended for 12 weeks people realize something’s going on something is stirred in the hearts of people people won’t know more about it and that’s why I think the media went over 12 weeks because the need was there people’s hearts were softened by the preaching of the Gospel a London Crusade highlight for 40 000
children a visit from Roy Rogers King of the Cowboys I’ll never forget the day when they pulled up in front of the little hotel where we were staying and the porter reached down and said Mr Rogers I’ll carry your bag for you he said no trigger will get it they opened up the door and Trigger walks into the lobby of the hotel with Roy and Roy said come on trigger let’s go over to the desk you gotta sign in they had a great big blotter on that desk and Roy put a big stick in in trigger’s mouth and he slobbered all over that blotter and they
went up to the second floor and then the next picture triggers head singing out of that second floor window going yeah and boy the papers carried it and that Saturday we had 40 000 young people fill that Stadium foreign men and women all over the world today are looking for happiness peace security and joy the invitation was very much a part of Bill’s passion you have to choose if you’re ready to do that you can receive him right tonight he often said to us well I had a hard time I didn’t feel I had power in preaching
but when I gave the invitation I Knew by faith that God was going to honor the preaching of his precious word that’s it quickly come on all over the place that lifted your ass hearing aid touched the entire UK nothing like this had ever happened and those kinds of things you say well okay big deal but it was a big deal I can remember someone said we have these 11 12 000 people a night coming together in London what about the rest of England Laura help us to find a way to reach people who can’t come to London to The
Crusade the sound engineer for ABC radio is sitting there and started to write a sketch of the telephone system in England and was out of that sketch of the telephone relay started there from a specially constructed broadcast Booth engineer Robert Benninghoff transmitted the services from haringey to hundreds of cities and towns overnight the London Crusade became a nationwide Crusade through a relay system of landlines they were linking auditoriums all across that area with these landlines like telephone lines you would see women all
over the world emanating from a central spot all over to auditoriums around the area that had been prepared for his ministry half a million persons shared in the campaign in this manner with many hundreds making decisions for Christ at the close of Mr Graham’s sermon it was an amazing technology at the time and helped to carry the message all across the United Kingdom in many ways it was a life-altering for the church in England and it was a historic watermark for Mr Graham foreign just a year later Billy and his team
returned to Europe this time to Scotland sin for us who knew no sin you must receive Christ by faith as your lord and savior on Good Friday of that year the BBC carried Mr Graham’s preaching live in a really historic television moment it was the second most watched program in BBC history other than the coronation of the queen been receiving we believe that he died we believe that he rose again but that’s not enough to make you a Christian that’s an intellectual thing there must be the receiving that act of
trusting and commitment to Jesus Christ as your Lord and Master and savior the people were Spellbound and the Press was Belmont who was this man who could preach like this uh looking like a film star quite frankly no one had ever seen anything like this not in living memory tonight you can be a Christian I’m going to ask you to get up out of your seat in a moment and stand reverently in front of this platform before the Cross of Christ Her Majesty watched it as did most of the people in the UK at that time he was just a young
preacher I had a great smile and a loud voice and he was animated when he preached and he’s preaching of course the simple word of God Mr Graham always said regardless of who the audience was king queen or commoner that when he preached that the Holy Spirit would take that scripture and drive it supernaturally into the hearts of people educated man uneducated rich or poor you can come a few days after that broadcast Billy received an unexpected visitor an officer of the British royal household had been dispatched by the queen
extending an invitation to preach at Windsor Castle she hosted them and then had my father speak at the chapel and became very close friends as a result of them every time Mr Graham has come to London it seems that her majesty the queen invites him to tea or invite him to preach for her at the Windsor Chapel my mother father had been invited to spend the night at the palace with the royal family and it was a huge honor they were taking a walk queen’s palace there and they happened on what they thought was a gardener
feeding the dogs and they were just noticing the dogs and when the gardener stood up it was actually the Queen She Was Out caring for her corgis and Mr Graham laughed about that the rest of his life she had that marvelous sense of humor with them she was witty very well read very astute on the political situation of the day her majesty also recognized a changing culture that brought with it new challenges when Billy arrived to preach in 1966 not everyone welcomed his message the press for gun influence with Avengers
the accused of using gimmicks and tricks to stir the crowd God loved every one of you God thinks you’re important enough wrong for you have your plans to engage in public debate while you’re here or is it going to be what I think people often do suggest about evangelists but it very often involves talking at people rather than with them the the gospel message is a proclamation I don’t have to convince people the big thing is the work of the spirit of God in their hearts does this mean that your appeal is to the emotion
rather than the intellect I think the gospel appeals to the total man and I think that the greatest need that people have for fulfillment is a true encounter with Christ it was very important that Billy Graham never allowed the criticisms to overshadow his message it’s the gospel that has the impact not me I think the mistake is that people look to me and expect me to accomplish something I’m only a messenger to proclaim a message that I believe has within it the power to change lives for weeks before the first service ever
took place the Press pointed to the invitation hymn just as I am as a gimmick even propaganda the charge greatly concerned Billy Graham Billy called me one day he said Cliff we know that it’s not this emotion of the song it’s the moving of the spirit of God in answer to the prayers of God’s people let’s be prepared not to sing just as I am many of you here tonight are searching for a perfect has been a reason for your existence you don’t know where you came from you don’t know why you’re here you don’t know where you’re going
and there’s an emptiness down inside of you he died on the cross he was made to be sin for us and on that cross he took the hand of God with one of his hands in your hands with the other and he reconciled God and man God well he gave the invitation and he said we’re not going to have any music tonight I’m going to ask you to get up out of your seat and come and stand right here in front then he stepped back he folded his arms and he bowed his head in prayer for the first time in any Crusade invitation the choir piano and organ
were silent for 30 nights we didn’t have one note of just as I am there was no need for hype gimmicks or techniques oh God I am a sinner I am willing to turn from my sin I receive Christ as Savior in Christ’s name amen my father went to the UK more than any other country when we look at Mr Graham’s history of preaching in the United Kingdom it is remarkable it is decade upon decade Mr Graham had a heart for the United Kingdom my wife and I a few months ago went to Buckingham Palace and I wasn’t sure I
had the right clothes and I asked him now what would I wear on this occasion do I wear striped trousers and cutaway coat of what do I wear they said no just a business suit But be sure it’s blue and not black well I happen to have this suit I’ve got on right now and wore it but I had the right clothes on when I got there nobody turned and stared and said well he’s dressed improperly my wife wasn’t sure what she was to wear so she went and used it as an excuse to get something my father was always very careful when
he met public people especially people in power to guard their privacy but my my father did mention number times she had a great love for the Bible she wanted to study scripture and she just loved the word of God we understood that they would pray together we we know those things what they talked about is not only to the two of them and to the heavenly father on one occasion the queen Was preparing her annual Christmas address to the nation in it she wanted to illustrate a point by tossing a stone into a pond and
watching the ripples expand our daily actions are like those ripples each one makes a difference even the smallest she asked Billy to come and listen to her practice he happily accompanied her to the pond to give his impressions there was a depth of their relationship now at the core of it was a spiritual a common denominator in Jesus Christ I’m always moved by those words in Saint John’s gospel but as many as received him for them gave him power to become the sons of God she understood the gospel found Hope and
courage in the gospel she’d often speak about it especially in her Christmas messages to the people of the Commonwealth Christmas is a Christian Festival which celebrates the birth of the Prince of Peace his simple message of love has been turning the world upside down ever since I draw strength from the message of Hope in the Christian Gospel she never backed down from her faith never she was very bold very steadfast in a world that was changing so quickly around a rare many monarchs might be tempted to go with the
wind and go with the culture of that time she didn’t she stayed very strong with her faith and I think people respected her and loved her for that the teachings of Christ and my own personal accountability before God provide a framework in which I try to lead my life Jesus Christ The Prince of Peace is an inspiration and an anchor in my life he knew rejection hardship and persecution and yet it is Jesus Christ’s generous love and example which has inspired me through good times and bad it is this Simplicity of the
Christmas story that makes it so universally appealing a man whose teachings have been handed down from generation to generation and have been the Bedrock of my faith Queen Elizabeth embraced was the same message proclaimed by her friend Billy Graham Now searching is important searching for purpose and meaning in your life you can be alive right now physically but your soul is dead your spirit is dead and you keep searching for something and you can’t find it you don’t know what it is you can’t find it
in money you can’t find it in drugs you can’t find it in sex you can’t find it in all of these other substitutes you’ll never find what you’re looking for in life till you come to the Cross of Christ and are born again the problem in the world today is sin and the Bible says we have all sinned and come short of the glory of God and that sin separates between you and God so that you don’t have the sense of fulfillment it’s at the cross where our sins were born by Christ he was made to be sin for us he took your
sins and my sins he took my judgment he took the hell that I deserved on that cross now what does god require of you repentance the word repentance simply means to change it means that you’re going in this direction you turn around and start in a New Direction that’s repentance and then you must receive him by faith without faith it’s impossible to please him it means to put total confidence in to put total trust in Christ God loves you he’s interested in you when Christ died on the cross he had the capacity to see you
and he died for you make a new start you can do that tonight bring us O Lord God at our last Awakening into the house and gate of heaven we give thanks to God for Queen Elizabeth’s loyalty to the faith for her unswerving Devotion to the gospel we entrust our sister here departed to thy merciful keeping ensure and certain hope of the Resurrection to eternal life when Christ shall be all in all who died and rose again to save us and now liveth and reigneth with thee and
the Holy Spirit in glory forever as you’ve been watching this program maybe you’ve been asking the question are your sins forgiven are you saved if you died today would God receive you into his presence if you’re not sure you can be sure but it’s just simply praying this prayer just say God I’m a sinner I’m sorry forgive me I want to turn for my sins I believe that Jesus Christ is your son who died for my sins on the cross and I want to put my faith and trust in him follow him as my Lord From This Day Forward Forever
amen if you prayed that prayer call that number right now that’s on the screen we’ve got some people who want to talk to you pray with you but call right now that number that’s on the screen
QQ4 Bob Dylan and Keith Richards have been close friends for nearly 40 years. The friendship began on a live television program in November of 1986 in the 11 seconds after Bob Dylan called Keith Richards music derivative on camera. Keith Richard’s response to that assessment, one sentence said without anger, without performance, with the specific directness of a man who has nothing to prove and knows it made Bob Dylan laugh.
Then made Bob Dylan go quiet. then made Bob Dylan say two words that people who know Bob Dylan say he almost never said to anyone. This is the story of those 11 seconds and the 40 years that followed them. The program was a live music interview special broadcast on an American network on the evening of November 3rd, 1986. The format was simple.
Two musicians, a host, an hour of conversation about music and the state of it. The producers had assembled the pairing of Bob Dylan and Keith Richards with the specific calculation of television producers who understand that two people with equally strong and potentially incompatible views about what music is and what it should do will produce better television than two people who agree about everything.
The calculation was correct, though not in the way the producers had anticipated. Bob Dylan was 45 years old in November of 1986. Bob Dylan had released Empire Burlesque the previous year and had been on the road for most of the intervening period as part of the True Confessions tour with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
Bob Dylan was in November of 1986 in one of the most prolific and restless phases of a career that had consisted almost entirely of prolific and restless phases. A career that had moved through folk, rock, country, gospel, and back again, that had been declared finished at least six times by the music press, and at each time continued with the serene indifference of a river to the opinions of people standing on its banks.
Bob Dylan had been redefining what music could be. Since 1962, Bob Dylan had invented and reinvented himself so many times that reinvention had become his defining characteristic, not in the superficial sense of a performer changing costumes, but in the deeper sense of a musician who had never allowed his work to settle into a form that could be anticipated or categorized from the outside.
Bob Dylan understood influence and originality and the relationship between them better than almost anyone alive in 1986. Bob Dylan had spent 24 years thinking carefully and specifically about where music came from and where music was going and what it meant that those two things were always in constant conversation with each other.
Keith Richards was 42 years old in November of 1986. Keith Richards had been playing guitar professionally since 1962. Keith Richards had built a career on a foundation of American blues and rhythm and blues. A foundation that Keith Richards had studied with the systematic devotion of someone who understood that the tradition he was building on was not incidental to the music he was making, but essential to it.
that you could not understand what Keith Richards did without understanding where Keith Richards had come from and what Keith Richards had been listening to since he was a teenager in Dartford with American Import Records and a secondhand guitar and no teacher except the recordings themselves. Keith Richards had never pretended otherwise. Keith Richards had in fact spent considerable energy across his career making the lineage explicit, naming the artists, citing the recordings, insisting on the acknowledgement of influence that the mainstream music
industry had a long history of suppressing or ignoring or crediting to the wrong people. If anything, Keith Richards was more transparent about his sources than most musicians of his generation. Keith Richards had always said openly that the Rolling Stones came directly from the blues, that Muddy Waters and Robert Johnson and the specific tradition of the Mississippi Delta were not background influences, but foundational ones.
The music Keith Richards made was in direct and sustained conversation with that tradition, something Keith Richards considered not a limitation, but a responsibility and a form of respect. The interview had been running for 8 minutes when the host asked Bob Dylan about the current state of rock and roll.
Bob Dylan answered with the density and the indirection that characterized Bob Dylan’s responses to direct questions, turning the question over, approaching it from an unexpected angle, finding his way to what he actually thought through a series of observations that moved like a river rather than a road. Bob Dylan was not a straightforward interview subject.
Bob Dylan had been asked about rock and roll in hundreds of interviews across 24 years and had developed the habit of treating the question as an invitation to think out loud rather than a request for a prepared position. The producer Gerald Sherman said afterward that in the first 8 minutes of the interview, he had been slightly anxious, not because anything was going wrong, but because nothing was going anywhere in particular yet.
The interview had the feeling of two conversations happening simultaneously. Bob Dylan’s internal one and the external one visible to the cameras. And Gerald Sherman was not certain in those first eight minutes that the two conversations would converge into something. Bob Dylan talked about influence. Bob Dylan talked about originality.
Bob Dylan talked about the difference between music that absorbed a tradition and transformed it and music that absorbed a tradition and reproduced it. And then Bob Dylan made his assessment. And then Bob Dylan said with the precision of a man making a musical assessment rather than a personal judgment that the Rolling Stones work, and Bob Dylan was specific, naming Keith Richards as the guitarist whose approach he was discussing was derivative in a way that Bob Dylan found limiting.
Bob Dylan said it without hostility. Bob Dylan said it as a technical observation about the relationship between source material and the work that came from it. Bob Dylan said that Keith Richards played the blues the way the blues had already been played, rather than using the blues as a starting point for something that had not yet been played.
Keith Richards had been listening to this with the specific attention Keith Richards gave to things being said about music by people who knew music. Keith Richards did not interrupt. Keith Richards did not shift in his chair or display any of the visible signals of a person preparing a defensive response. Keith Richards listened to Bob Dylan’s complete observation all the way to its conclusion without interrupting and without displaying any visible signal of preparing a response.
Then Keith Richards said one sentence. The sentence was not a rebuttal. The sentence did not defend Keith Richards music or argue for its originality or challenge Bob Dylan’s characterization of what the blues meant in the context of rock and roll. The sentence was something else entirely, something that required a specific kind of confidence to say.
The confidence of a person who has spent long enough thinking about the same things as the person they are talking to that they can locate the exact point where their thinking diverges and say something useful about that point rather than simply defending their own position. The sentence acknowledged everything Bob Dylan had said, the assessment, the distinction Bob Dylan was drawing, the specific musical concern underlying the observation, and then turned it 90°.
Keith Richards took Bob Dylan’s own framework, the one Bob Dylan had used to analyze Keith Richards relationship to the blues tradition, and applied it back to Bob Dylan’s work with the same precision Bob Dylan had used to apply it to Keith Richards. Spare aimed. The sentence asked Bob Dylan something about Bob Dylan’s own music, about the relationship between Bob Dylan’s sources and Bob Dylan’s output that Bob Dylan had not been asked on television before.
The sentence did not attack. The sentence illuminated. Bob Dylan laughed. The laugh was not the polite laugh of someone responding to a joke. The laugh was the involuntary laugh of someone who has been genuinely surprised. The specific kind of surprise that a person of exceptional intelligence experiences when someone else’s intelligence exceeds their expectations.
Bob Dylan laughed for 4 seconds. Then Bob Dylan stopped laughing. Then Bob Dylan was quiet for 3 seconds in the way that Bob Dylan was quiet when Bob Dylan was thinking rather than performing thought. Then Bob Dylan said, “You’re right.” The producer in the booth, a man named Gerald Sherman, who had been working in television for 14 years, said afterward that in 14 years of live television production, he had never heard Bob Dylan say those two words in a public forum.
Gerald Sherman said he had worked with Bob Dylan on two previous occasions and had observed Bob Dylan in numerous other contexts and that you’re right was not a phrase that Bob Dylan deployed easily or often because Bob Dylan had spent 24 years being right about music in ways that other people eventually caught up with. And the experience of being right ahead of everyone else does not generally produce a man who says you’re right readily when someone else makes a point.
The host of the program, a journalist named Patricia Wells, who had been interviewing musicians for 12 years, said afterward that the 11 seconds between Bob Dylan’s assessment and Bob Dylan saying, “You’re right,” were the most extraordinary 11 seconds of television she had been present for. Patricia Wells said that what she witnessed in those 11 seconds was not a debate or a confrontation or a celebrity exchange of competing opinions.
Patricia Wells said what she witnessed was one musician recognizing another musician as an equal, which was in the specific context of Bob Dylan in 1986, not something that happened in public very often. The interview continued for another 42 minutes after those 11 seconds. The conversation between Bob Dylan and Keith Richards in the remaining 42 minutes was described by everyone who watched it as fundamentally different from the first 8 minutes.
The host, Patricia Wells, who had been conducting music interviews for 12 years and understood the difference between the performance of conversation and actual conversation, said that at approximately the 9-minute mark, something shifted in the studio. That the formal interview, architecture dissolved, and what replaced it was something less structured and more genuine.
Bob Dylan and Keith Richards talked about influence and originality and the blues and what it meant to build on a tradition without being consumed by it. They talked about specific recordings and specific musicians with the specificity of two people who had spent their entire adult lives thinking about these things and rarely found another person who had thought about them with equivalent care.
They talked about where music came from and where music was going and whether those two questions were actually one question or two. Patricia Wells said afterward that she had asked approximately four questions in the remaining 42 minutes because Bob Dylan and Keith Richards did not require questions. They required only a room and a camera and the shared understanding that what they were saying together was worth recording carefully.
She said it was the best interview she had ever conducted and that she had conducted the smallest part of it. After the program, Bob Dylan and Keith Richards were in the corridor outside the studio when the host Patricia Wells passed them. Patricia Wells said she did not stop because she did not want to interrupt.
She observed them for approximately 30 seconds from a distance. She said they were talking with the ease of people who had known each other for years rather than people who had met for the first time 2 hours earlier. She said that something had shifted between them during the broadcast that the broadcast had made permanent rather than temporary.
She continued down the corridor and did not look back. She said in her account of that evening that she had decided in that moment not to interrupt the conversation because some conversations are more valuable than any question a journalist might ask and that the conversation she had observed for 30 seconds in the corridor outside the studio was one of them.
She had been a music journalist for 12 years. She recognized the difference. Bob Dylan and Keith Richards have maintained their friendship across four decades. They have appeared together at various events, most significantly at the concert for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995, where people who were present described them as inseparable for most of the evening, occupying the same corner of the backstage area and talking with the concentrated attention of people who only have a limited amount of time together and intend to use it
well. Bob Dylan has spoken about Keith Richards in interviews with the specific thoughtful care that Bob Dylan reserves for musicians whose work Bob Dylan considers genuinely important rather than merely culturally prominent. Keith Richards has spoken about Bob Dylan in similar terms with the specific respect of someone who recognizes in another person a commitment to music that goes deeper than career.
Neither Bob Dylan nor Keith Richards has made a public statement specifically about how the friendship began or about the November 1986 interview. Bob Dylan has not mentioned the 11 seconds. Keith Richards has not mentioned the sentence. The interview exists in the archive. The 11 seconds are there. The laugh is there. The two words are there.
What is also there for anyone who watches the interview from its beginning and pays attention to the shift that happens at the 9-minute mark is the specific moment when two people who thought they were appearing on a television program discovered they were actually talking to each other. What Keith Richards said in that one sentence has never been officially reported.
The people who were in the studio that evening, Gerald Sherman, Patricia Wells, the floor crew, the two camera operators, the makeup artist who was watching from the side of the set, have described the sentence in consistent terms. They have described its effect. They have described Bob Dylan’s laugh and Bob Dylan’s silence and Bob Dylan’s two words.
They have not repeated the sentence itself in the specific understanding that the sentence was said between two musicians on a television program and that its power resided in the specific context of that exchange and would not survive removal from it intact. What can be said is this. Keith Richards said something to Bob Dylan about Bob Dylan’s music that used Bob Dylan’s own observation about Keith Richards as its starting point and arrived somewhere that Bob Dylan had not anticipated.
Keith Richards turned Bob Dylan’s assessment 90° and showed Bob Dylan something about the music they had both spent their lives making that Bob Dylan recognized immediately as true. And Bob Dylan said, “You’re right.” Two words said by Bob Dylan in public on live television in 1986 to Keith Richards in response to a single sentence Keith Richards had said about music.
Two words that Gerald Sherman, who had worked with Bob Dylan on two previous occasions, said he had never heard Bob Dylan say in a public forum. Two words that Patricia Wells, who had been interviewing musicians for 12 years, said were the most significant two words she had heard in those 12 years. Not because of their content, but because of who said them and what it cost to say them and what it meant that Keith Richards had produced them in 11 seconds from a conversation that began with Bob Dylan calling Keith Richards’s music derivative. And Keith Richards and
Bob Dylan have been close friends for nearly 40 years. The sentence did its work in 11 seconds on the evening of November 3rd, 1986. The work has been ongoing ever since.
