Joan strolled into the room and sat at his arm, relaxed and confident.

Jesse Jackson suggested, despite a total lack of evidence, that Jordan might have been the first on an assassin's "hit list" of black leaders. Jackson maintained that Jordan's wound was "seemingly well placed by a professional, which is a political statement." He called on the nation's blacks to stay calm. Said Jackson: "We don't want another 1968 [when riots followed King's murder]. We need leadership. We must respond to this...
