Re: TODAY IS A SOMBER ANNIVERSARY IN THE LINCOLN PRESIDENCY

Yes, it is true they don't always get that close to the President, but doggone if they dont think of another way.  With the shooting of Kennedy, It was done from a distance, but I believe Gerald Ford was shot was fairly close as was Reagan.  McKinley was shot up close in the abdomen at the Worlds Fair Exposition.

Re: TODAY IS A SOMBER ANNIVERSARY IN THE LINCOLN PRESIDENCY

Sadly true, @shoekitty--  evil can sometimes be fiendishly cunning.  At least we know of a number of failed nefarious attempts to get close to Chief Executives in recent decades, for which we can be grateful.
