The last URL you sent us. So it must be that guide. Thanks to eBey for 
saving my life !

I know that comedy album; I've seen it several times at the flea 
market, here, in the old days. I found the cover unattractive, and I 
discovered Jonathan Winters, instead. As unattractive, perhaps, but 
very funny (in my opinion).

So you're interested by that album, not because it's supposed to make 
you laugh, but because it's about a president who had a violent death, 
isn't it ? If you happen to find a comedy album about Ike or Truman, 
you won't stop by ? The tragedy aspect is  'the main ingredient' ? Just 
curious.
