Since 1840, the president elected in every fifth election(multiples of 20) either died or was shot while in office. William Henry Harrison caught cold at his inauguration and died a month later. Abraham Lincoln , elected in1860, was next, Garfield was elected in 1880--up to Reagan, 1980, and, due to miracle of modern medicine, was the first survivor--(his injuries were actually more severe than Garfield's, who was basically killed by the incompetence of his doctors, a point that his assassin used in his defense)--

2000 was the curse year--any thoughts?
