In this alternate history, George Washington becomes Lord President George I of the United States in 1789, and this action changes the course of world development: the monarchies of Europe and the New World are never displaced, but evolve into parliamentary democracies.

The true story of the 1960 attempted assassination of President-elect John F. Kennedy. The Secret Service called this one of the closest calls any president experienced. Read about the attempt, the assassin, and the constitutional what-ifs. Covered-up at the time the story can now be told.
