Another anecdote about Kennedy (indirect).
My wife's grandfather, who was a professor in the History department at Stanford had a cardiac arrest. Fortunately he survived, and when he regained consciousness, the doctor tried to assess his mental status.
Doctor: "What's your name?"
Wife's grandfather: "Wayne"
Doctor: "Great. Do you know where you are?"
Wayne: "I'm at the hospital... Stanford hospital"
Doctor: "Yes. Do you know what date it is"
Wayne: *Is pretty close on the date*
Doctor: "Good enough. Who's the President?"
Wayne: "Kennedy"
*puzzled looks from the doctor *
Wayne "Donald Kennedy. You asked me for the president. He's the Stanford president"
Doctor: "Oh! I meant the President of the United States"
Wayne "Oh, that's George Bush, I think"
