According to 20 Days, "The President was stuck in the back of his head, yet the orbital plates of both eye sockets had been cracked by "contre-coup", or transmitted force, the phenomenon which causes breakage at points opposite the point of impact" The photo on p.94 shows a severely cracked skull. Hard to believe any one could survive that, even with modern medical care.

So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in?
