Tecumseh's curse or Astrology? Steve M. 20 Year Cycle - Bush or Gore: Whoever Wins, Loses. Letter from a friend: ===== I'm sure you know about the "zero year" curse regarding US presidental elections, but I did some minor research to see how each president died. It's pretty interesting. Is this the result of an American Indian curse on the White House for breaking treaties, or is it that Saturn-Jupiter conjunction that happens every twenty years? US presidents dying in office when elected in the "zero" year (every twenty years since 1840): 1840 -- William Henry Harrison (died of pneumonia after one month in office). 1860 -- Abraham Lincoln (assassinated the first year of his second term in office in 1865). 1880 -- James Garfield (assassinated his first year in office). 1900 -- William McKinley (assassinated his first year in office). 1920 -- Warren Harding (died of a heart attack his second year in office) 1940 -- Franklin D. Roosevelt (died in office of a cerebral hemorrhage in1945). 1960 -- John F. Kennedy (assassinated his third year in office). 1980 -- Ronald Reagan (survived an assassination attempt his first year in office). 2000 -- George W. Bush or Al Gore (?????). Astrologers claim that Reagan survived because the Saturn-Jupiter conjunction was in a "soft" sign, but this time it's the most dangerous one since 1900. Btw, rumor has it that Colin Powell didn't run this year because of the "curse." -------------------------- eGroups Sponsor -------------------------~-~> Create your business web site your way now at Bigstep.com.
