at 10 15 The twin stack ship, 722 feet long and weighing 25,000 tonnes, backed into the Hudson River. Passengers on every craft jockeyed for rail position in order to wish Woodrow Wilson Bon Voyage wearing a bear skin coat. The president with his wife joined Captain Edward McCauley Jr on the bridge. Wilson waved his hands and raised his hat to the crowds again and again, an appreciation of the most spectacular send off in New York history. It was difficult to imagine in that moment of purely joyful noise, with thousands of flags and handkerchiefs waving in his honor that he was one of the most polarizing presidents in the nation's history. As one of his earliest supporters, Oklahoma Senator Thomas Pryor, Gore once said Wilson had no friends, Onley, slaves and enemies. Just then, Mrs Kennedy came out of the trauma room. Her face, still spattered with blood, was expressionless. I strode over to her, afraid she might. Faint land is called out. Somebody get a chair for Mrs Kennedy. There were agents and medical staff and policemen all over the place. People running around back and forth in and out of the two trauma rooms.

Mrs. Kennedy stood up and asked, Do you mean he may live? Oh, God, I thought, Please, nobody. Answer her. I saw what happened.
