In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.
-Franklin D. Roosevelt
From second link:
Blumberg called it a contemporary historical novel, and it centered on his belief that Neil Bush - son of President George H.W. Bush - and his wife Sharon were co-conspirators in John Hinckley's attempt to assassinate President Ronald Reagan in 1981.
George Bush was vice president at the time, and would have become president if Reagan had been killed. Blumberg based his belief in part on reports that Hinckley's brother Scott knew Neil Bush - indeed, that they were scheduled to have dinner together the night after the assassination attempt - and that the media covered it up.
Thanks, Maggie.
