mr. lincoln's reelection during the civil war here. >> one other thing will nigeria's former military ruler mohamedu bahari, what defeat will that mean for boko haram? >> in terms of whether bohari will defeat president are goodluck jonathan. whoever wins, if general buhari wins, he has campaigned that he can do a better job. if i wins i think the expectation will be that yes they will ramp up. but i think even if president jonathan is reelected he has also said that yes he is going to fight them even harder. so to me whoever wins i expect the fight to escalate. again because we are getting african help. we hope to get international help. so i think boko haram will not be able to rampage as much as it has been after the elections. >> that's good information. ne good to see you. african analyst and the former executive director of the organization, africa action. ne good to see you. the pilot of a crashed transasia plane are being held as hero. taipei's officials say they navigated it past several high -- ride buildings before it went down. harry fawcett has the story. >> still they bring in

mrs. lincoln. a huge challenge too for all of this was timing out what occurred during that performance of "our american cousin." every account that i would read interviews that some of the actors gave 20, 30, 40 years later. some of them lived into the 1930s, 70 years after the deed. as i read the interviews they would say so-and-so was just coming on from the stage during the milk maid scene. or it was in act 2, scene 1 that i realized something was happening. so all of the actors and stage hands were talking about this in terms of the script. so to get a chronology of the day, i read out loud the script. there are about seven versions. i read it out loud timing, pausing for laughs. and documenting every five minutes what would have been occurring so that i could get a timeline for the night. and it gave me a nice sense of coming and going. finally, by the end of all the research i did, i was able to pin point for each of these people where they were at the moment of the shot and what they were d
