Krushchev ordered Nixon assassinated if he beat Kennedy. Yeah, anything is possible. Patton's view on the Russian Commies was well known and got him into more trouble since Russia was an "ally" at the time.

It is interesting to read old WW2 newspapers to see what was being reported at the time. In '43, we were being told that we would be in Germany "for a long time". Guess 63 years is a long time.
