> [@gkster](#): > > @Bullitt I subbed Benazir Bhutto for 5. Ninoy Aquino, who was a Senator and Governor but not a head of state. His wife and son became heads of state but fortunately they were not assassinated or executed. Oh yes, right! Aquino was campaigning for the Presidency when he was gunned down, but he was not the Pres at that time. Thank you, @gkster. ---
