There's a well-known list of seemingly uncanny links between Presidents Kennedy and Lincoln. John Kennedy Jr.'s death adds to it; three of Lincoln's four sons died young, at the ages of 4, 12 and 18. A short and very partial list: Lincoln was elected president in 1860, Kennedy one century later. Lincoln had a secretary named Kennedy, and Kennedy had one named Lincoln. Both men were assassinated while in office. Both assassins used their middle names. One of the assassins fled from a warehouse to a theater, the other went in the opposite direction. The names "Lincoln" and "Kennedy" both have seven letters, and on and on and on.
