Wouldn't you know that a story with "man" in the title was written by one of only two women who wrote an X Minus One story, Evelyn Smith (Katherine MacLean is the other). Mr. Sergei Schnay (my guess at the spelling) is told that he will be the new ruler but first has to kill the old ruler, Lord Kip. Sounds like a reasonable request. He was told this by a man with a "prognosticator". All people know the prognosticator is not wrong, so hail their new leader. Leadership is best determined by not qualifications but by destiny. Destiny must run its course. But of course, to be a good story, there has to be a surprise ending. (from "The Critical X Minus One" by Jim Fanisher)
Credits (Goldin): Evelyn Smith (author), Wendell Holmes, William Redfield, Santos Ortega, Raymond Edward Johnson, Bob Hastings, Ernest Kinoy (adaptor), Leona Powers, Radcliff Hall (announcer), Daniel Sutter (director), William Welch (producer)
