Floyd M. Boring at Blair House on Nov. 1, 1950, after the shootout that thwarted an attempt to kill President Harry S Truman.

Floyd M. Boring, a Secret Service agent who guarded five presidents and took part in the gunfight that foiled an attempt by Puerto Rican nationalists to assassinate President Harry S. Truman, died Friday at his home in Silver Spring, Md. He was 92.

His name and pic reminded me of a Daniel Clowes comic…

Pauci intelligunt, multi reprehendunt, & sicut canes ignotos semper allatrant: Few understood, many reprehend, and as dogges barke at those they know not: so doe many condemn and hate the things they understand not.
