I think some of you might find this interesting. I refer to the
assassinations of Abraham lincoln and John F Kennedy:

Both Lincoln and kennedy were concerned with civil rights.
Lincoln was elected president in 1860, and kennedy in 1960.
Both were slain on a Friday, in the presence of their wives.
Both were shot from behind and in the head.
They were both succeeded by Southern Democrats named Johnson, who held seats
in the U. S. Senate.
Andrew Johnson was born in 1808, Lyndon Johnson in 1908.
John Wilkes Booth and Lee Harvey Oswald were both born in '39.
Both presidents lost children while in the White House.
President Lincoln's secretary, whose name was Kennedy, advised him not to go
to the theatre.
Kennedy's secretary, whose name was Lincoln (Evelyn), advised him not to make
the trip to Dallas.
Booth shot Lincoln in a theatre and ran to a warehouse.
Lee Harvey Oswald shot Kennedy from a warehouse and ran to a theatre.
The names Lincoln and Kennedy each contain seven letters.
The names Andrew Johnson and Lyndon Johnson  each contain 13 letters.
Both Johnsons were opposed for reelection by men whose names start with "G".
Both assassins were killed before they could be brought to trial.
Can all the above be coincidental? I can offer no explanations. Mighty
strange is all I can say.

Thanks
