1981 was the year of the assassin's bloodlust. In this Boles.tv live stream highlight, David Boles shares his memories of one bloody year. In 1981, on March 30, President Regan was shot, on May 13, Pope John Paul II was shot, on October 06 of the same year, Anwar Sadat was murdered. Those "up close and personal" assassination attempts, and successes, were not new to the history of the world, but their cluster effect was raw, fresh, and frightening.
