A man who authorities are connecting to an assassination attempt against the former president shows up a LOT in his hometown's newspaper archives. So why did most folks only reference one old story?
Back in the blogging days in the 2000s the News & Record was very aggressive about experimenting with it and finding ways to engage with the community. Even though I was a Winston-Salem resident and subscribed to the Journal, I felt way more engaged with N&R and Greensboro at the time because of their engagement. There was also a robust community of "citizen journalists" in Greensboro at the time, and there was even a conference organized by that community -ConvergeSouth - that still exists but has morphed into more of a business/investor conference in recent years. All that to say, it doesn't surprise me at all that their stuff is much more searchable/findable than other NC newspapers.
If you get hold of Lex Alexander or John Robinson they could probably give you a whole lot of background.

I talked to John! He didn't know, but this likely happened after his time.
