Sometimes the killer is remembered more than the victims.

Leo Joseph Ryan, Jr. (May 5, 1925 – November 18, 1978) was an American politician of the Democratic Party. He served as a U.S. Representative from the 11th Congressional District of California from 1973 until he was murdered in Guyana by members of the Peoples Temple shortly before the Jonestown Massacre in 1978.

Ryan is the only U.S. congressman to have been killed in the line of duty.
 

A bad day at golf is better than a good day at work.
