Indeed, every president elected in a year ending in 0 has died in
office since 1840:

	1840  W. H. Harrison
	1860* Lincoln
	1880* Garfield
	1900* McKinley
	1920  Harding
	1940  F. D. Roosevelt
	1960* Kennedy

Note that the starred presidents were assasinated, the others died of
natural causes.  Near misses don't count, T. Roosevelt, Truman,
Eisenhower, and Ford all survived serious attempts.

PS: If they taught history decently in elementary schools, all of you
(except perhaps the Canadians) would know all this.
