History's Missed Opportunity: James A. Garfield was a great president, if by "great" one illustrates greatness by doing noble things. Garfield took office in March of 1881. The man was a marvel who could write Latin with one hand and Greek with the other - at the same time! In a cruel twist of Fate, he was shot in July and died three months later. "He didn't have time to accomplish his plans," say the standard histories.
