    Got reminded of this movie watched sometime in 1980 or 81, while hearing the news at the US Presidential candidate's rally earlier today. Lest this post be construed as political, will not include any names. Fortunately nothing untoward happened.

        Unsure I saw the movie, but I read the book. P.S. Maybe try "The Dead Zone" next.

                          Thanks for this info. At the time i posted this, i didn't get the info about a person losing his life, and the screaming all around. Just got a text news that the assassination has been averted. And it seemed very similar to The Day of the Jackal. That's what I posted.

                            RE: Science fiction - highly recommend the Expanse series. The author is James S. A. Corey, a pseudonym for a 2-person writing team. It was made into a TV series that started on the SciFi channel and finished either on Amazon Prime or Netflix. Can't remember now. The series was pretty decent. Hewed pretty closely to the books' story lines. The books were really good.

                              Have you read any of the Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells? Very entertaining SciFi, especially in audiobook format.

                                Couldn't recall that when someone mentioned Jackal the other night. Definitely was the one I was looking for though.
