Book Claims Secret Service Changed Presidential Motorcade Route Because of Psychic

The Washington Post reports:
A new book claims the Secret Service once changed a motorcade route -- because of a warning from a psychic. D.C. author Ronald Kessler tells a story in "In the President's Secret Service" about George H.W. Bush's 1992 trip to Enid, Okla. State law enforcement urged agent Norm Jarvis to talk to a psychic who had helped on local cases, he told Kessler. The psychic told Jarvis she'd had a vision of the president being shot as the motorcade neared an overpass. Her vision made little sense -- she saw Bush sitting on the left (he always sat on the right) and wearing an open-neck shirt and light jacket instead of the suit and tie planned for this trip. But then she accurately predicted which airport hangars housed the presidential limo and helicopter.
