Ok, let’s drop the hedging of bets in the [http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/mdixon.html#update](http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/mdixon.html#update) mailbag article re: Jeane Dixon.  
Jeane Dixon did **not** predict the death of John Kennedy.

Jeane Dixon **did** correctly predict the death of a Democratic president in office after election in 1960. She failed as late as the year of the election to predict that the president would be Kennedy.

And, as the SAB writers correctly note, even a blind you-know-what finds a nut now and again. 😉
