A transition like no other Print this article
News coverage during presidential transitions often uses a split screen. On one side, the new man is sworn in or glad-hands supporters; on the other, the outgoing chief executive makes his forlorn last exit across the White House lawn.
Sometimes, though, history serves up not just scenes that are the unavoidable obverse and reverse of each other but a really dramatic juxtaposition, such as on Jan. 20, 1981, when Iran began releasing 66 American hostages moments after President Ronald Reagan finished his first inaugural address.
We have a similarly striking overlap now, with the unprecedented second impeachment of President Trump coinciding as nearly as possible with Joe Biden taking the oath of office. We capture this astonishing side-by-side on the cover of this week’s magazine, with Trump’s dark shadow falling across the ceremonial start of the new presidency.

OKALHOMA CITY -
Oklahoma City police searched on Monday for the person behind the first shooting of 2021. The victim died on Saturday after being shot in the chest in the front yard of a home near Northeast 23rd Street and Grand Boulevard.
Investigators do not have a suspect but identified the victim as 52-year-old Anita Kay Walker.
The victim s next-door neighbor was shocked the deadly shooting happened in her front yard.
“I just can’t figure who would hurt her,” said Helen Andrews, neighbor. “She didn’t do nothing to nobody, that I know of now.”
Officers found Andrew s neighbor on Saturday collapsed in her front yard.
