        @BeschlossDC @WilliamsCollege So today was a tragic day in 1881.-Garfield Killed. Will Nov. 22 - JFK's death -be so forgotten in 133 years?

        @marclamb Probably not, although by that time we may have a better-reasoned perspective on our most-overrated president.

        @SethGrimes Most over-rated? That would be Reagan, our greatest con-artist last century... @marclamb

        @Toncuz @SethGrimes In fairness, Cold War began to end while he was president (Bush 1 actually handled it). So Reagan got credit.

        @marclamb Cold War effectively ended in 1983 when Soviets chief export, oil, collapsed while spending billions in Afghanistan @SethGrimes
