    Isn't that crazy? That's (at least) the third presidental/candidate >assassination attempt in my lifetime (Ford, Reagan, now Trump) - where the >hell do we live?

    I often forget about Ford. Wasn't his assassin tied to the Manson Family somehow?

    Yep, that is her. As MRO pointed out, there were actually two attempts on Ford. Weird since he was mostly a caretaker and not very controversial.
