He and co-author journalist and long-time friend Lisa McCubbin were at MSU under IPPSR's sponsorship. They were joined by retired Agent Clint Hill, who bolted onfoot from following the president's car to throwing himself onto the vehicle. He would, in the sad days to follow, guard First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy while guiding her through the transition. Those who attended the lecture and later book signing at Schuler Books & Music called the events compelling and fascinating. Read more about events. Listen to podcasts.
