Nothing could have demonstrated the President's need for current caution in public appearances more clearly than the astonishing ease with which Sally Moore?apparently reluctant but almost suicidally driven?maneuvered into a position from which she came so close to killing Ford. Tragedy was averted largely because another somewhat disturbed individual, but one impelled toward protection rather than destruction, casually drifted into the same crowd and wound up pressed beside Moore for nearly two hours. The street-side convergence of three people?the potential assassin, disabled Marine Veteran Oliver Sipple and Ford?showed how thin are the strands...
Trod Softly. The family's caution was understandable. "The S.L.A. was reading the Examiner as the voice of the Hearsts, and Patty's life hung in the balance," says William Randolph Hearst III, 26, her cousin and an Examiner reporter.

Shortly after Fromme had pointed her loaded pistol at Ford, the Secret Service got a call from a manufacturer of "protective clothing." He offered to show some safety products for the President.

...weakening them to the point of failure. A minor quake-contained between the locked areas-should result, relieving the dangerous stresses in the immediate vicinity. By repeating the procedure, the scientists could eventually relieve strains over a wide area. Other scientists feel that such experiments should be undertaken with caution, lest they trigger a large quake. Raleigh is more hopeful. In theory, he says, relatively continuous movement over the entire length of the San Andreas Fault could be maintained-and major earthquakes prevented-with a system of some 500 three-mile-deep holes evenly spaced along the fault.
