Pray that Old Hickory's spirit still resides thereabouts, because the new President will need all the help...
...silence, by a second fusillade. Meanwhile, photographs showed "positively, unerringly and incontrovertibly" that there was no movement whatsoever in or around the van during the opening five-shot salvo. In short, the memo concluded, De Guzman's account, which was corroborated by 13 other soldiers under oath, was "nothing but a tall tale, a fabrication from beginning...
