one random woman stopped the assassination of FDR right before he took office, which probably saved the New Deal & prevented Hitler from running the table in Europe, because FDR woulda been replaced by his anti-New Deal isolationist VP

Bonus tangent: That assassination attempt is ALSO the origin of the term "Death Row", as Florida law prohibited prisoners sentenced to death from sharing cells, and Florida already had one prisoner waiting. So the single cell was expanded to a row, and the death cell became death row
