The Stone Age was a period of history which began in approximately 2 million B.C. and lasted until 3000 B.C. Its name
was derived from the stone tools and weapons that modern scientists found. This period was divided into the Paleolithic,
Mesolithic, and Neolithic Ages. During the first period, (2 million to 8000 B.C.) the first hatchet and use of fire for
heating and cooking were developed. As a result of the Ice Age, which evolved about 1 million years into the Paleolithic
Age, people were forced to seek shelter in caves, wear clothing, and develop new tools.
During the Mesolithic Age (8000 to 6000 B.C.) people made crude pottery and the first fish hooks, took dogs hunting,
and developed a bow and arrow, which was used until the fourteenth century A.D.
The Neolithic Age (6000 to 3000 B.C.) saw humankind domesticating sheep, goats, pigs, and cattle, being less nomadic
than in previous eras, establishing permanent settlements, and creating governments.

An election year is one in which all four numbers are evenly divisible by four (1944, 1948, etc.) Since 1840, American
presidents elected in years ending in zero have been destined to die in office. William H. Harrison, the man who served
the shortest term, died of pneumonia several weeks after his inauguration. Abraham Lincoln was one of four presidents
who were assassinated. He was elected in 1860, and his untimely death came just five years later.

James A. Garfield, a former Union army general from Ohio, was shot during his first year in office (1881) by a man to
whom he wouldn’t give a job. While in his second term of office (1901), William McKinley, another Ohioan, attended
the Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo, New York. During the reception, he was assassinated while shaking hands
with some of the guests. Three years after his election in 1920, Warren G. Harding died in office. Although it was never
proved, many believe he was poisoned. Franklin D. Roosevelt had been elected four times (1932, 1936, 1940, and
1944), the only man to serve so long a term. He had contracted polio in 1921 and died of the illness in 1945. John F.
Kennedy, the last of the line, was assassinated in 1963, only three years after his election. Will 1980’s candidate suffer
the same fate?
