Since 1840, every U.S. president who was declared the winner of a presidential election that took place in a year that ended in a zero has either died in office
of natural causes, or has been shot. Lincoln was shot to death in 1865,
Garfield in 1881, McKinley in 1901, and Kennedy in 1963. Reagan was shot
and seriouisly wounded in 1981.
Harrison died a month after taking office in 1841, of pneumonia, Harding died
of an embolism in 1923, Franklin Roosevelt died of cerebral hemorrhage in
1945.
Reagan came closest to breaking the zero year curse. I disagree vehemently
with Bush and his policies and statements, but, like Nixon did, I hope that Bush leaves office alive and in disgrace.
