I get one click and nothing, will not start?

I had made a 32-mile trip the night before this. I do not recall it running any differently than before.
I haven't tried turning the crankshaft. Does it matter which direction I turn it? Or just that it will or will not turn?
I intend on getting into it again tomorrow to check all the connections, to make sure that they are all clean and tight. I thought, but I could be wrong.
I believe the click is coming from the starter.

I turned the crankshaft clockwise. I moved fairly easily, I was able to turn it with my ratchet, no breaker bar.
I went back through and made sure all the connections were tight and the connectors were clean, I sanded them to make sure.
I followed the negative battery cable up to the top of the right fender where it was grounded, there were three connections there, so I cleaned them.
I found a fuse under the hood in the bunch on the firewall, passenger side. There was one for the starter, so I pulled it out and sanded it clean with fine sandpaper. It was not burned out, broken.
I got it all back together, got in the car, it fired right up.
Driven it 114 miles this day and made a few stops. It started back up without hesitation and the starting felt strong, not overly so but stronger than it has since I bought the car 2 1/2 to 3 years ago.
Everything has worked out fine.
Also, in another question I had separated the inner CV joint in the drive axle, it went back together with no problem and the car has driven well, once again, the 114 miles I'd driven it this day.
I like me a Le Sabre!
Thanks to you all for your help and guidance, it is very much appreciated! :-)
