1839 - A Shawnee Indian chief cursed the GREAT WHITE FATHER for violating Indian treaties. That supposedly started the strange cycle of deaths at the White House: Every President elected or re-elected at 20-year cycles died in office from 1840 through 1960.

--1840 - William Henry Harrison - died of pneumonia 30 days after inauguration.

--1860 - Abraham Lincoln - assassinated.

--1880 - James Garfield - assassinated.

--1900 - William McKinley - assassinated.

--1920 - Warren G. Harding - died of mysterious natural causes.

--1940 - Franklin D. Roosevelt - died of a brain hemorrhage in his fourth term.

--1960 - John F. Kennedy - assassinated.

Ronald Reagan, who was first elected in 1980, escaped death after an assassination attempt. Some say that his wife Nancy broke the cycle by consulting with astrologers.
