Reagan is safe, then, because his term did not begin in 1980, but 1981.
In fact, no president's term has ever begun in a year divisible by 20, which
is just as well if what Robert DeBenedictis says is true.

Nitpicking aside: It is true that every president *elected* in a year divisible
by 20 has died in office since Harrison, in 1841.  Jefferson (1800) and
Monroe (1820) did not.  Perhaps Reagan should commission a study to find out
what their survival secret was!
