McKinley's assassination was the one that really changed the world. Incidentally, did you know that one of Lincoln's sons was present at three separate assassinations? From http://civil-liberties.com/factoids/july4_02.htm:

"Robert Todd Lincoln, son of Abe Lincoln, was present at the assassinations of three Presidents: his father's, President Garfield's and President McKinley's. After the last shooting, he refused to attend any State affairs. He would not have been present at these events if it hadn't been for the brother of John Wilkes Booth, who saved his life years earlier. "

"McKinley's assassination was the one that really changed the world."

Astute observation!
