Former US President Woodrow Wilson is reported to be seriously ill with a digestive disorder.
Here is his most-recent photo, when he was taken out for a birthday drive four weeks ago:
Today, Wilson’s condition deteriorates rapidly. He tells his doctors and wife that he is “ready” to die. “I’m a broken machine,” he says.
His family and wife keep constant vigil at his bedside, expecting death at any moment.

Thank God he didn’t run for a 3rd term. We’ve returned to normalcy and are moving on with the nation in better hands! Hopefully it won’t take 100 years to undo the massive expansion of administrative power Wilson launched. Keep Cool with Coolidge!
