   >A man in the crowd named Leon Czolgosz hoped to assassinate McKinley. He had managed to get close to the presidential podium, but did not fire, uncertain of hitting his target.[202] After hearing a speech by anarchist Emma Goldman in Cleveland, Czolgosz had decided to take action that he believed would advance the cause.
   
   I never knew about this. I don't know what I expected. Emma Goldman, eh? Fancy that

     And this person, you say, this "Goldman", was behind the assassination of a US president? Well, blow me down.

     you're telling me that Emma Goldman, convinced some Polish guy to kill the president, by filling his head with all kinds of radical nonsense? I can scarcely believe it
