   in Palo Alto, Calif., as President Ford made an appearance at Stanford   
   University. Agents seized the weapon but, after a brief evaluation of Ms.   
   Moore, did not deem her a serious threat and released her. Hours later,   
   she bought the .38-caliber gun from a dealer in Danville and fired it at   
   the president the next day in San Francisco.   
      
   Ms. Spieler’s biography of Ms. Moore, “Taking Aim at the President,” was   
   published in 2009. The author was an investigative reporter and writer who   
   had corresponded with Ms. Moore for years.   
      
   In an interview on Thursday, Ms. Spieler said Ms. Moore could be   
   “charming” and give the appearance of a kindly neighbor, “which was why   
   the Secret Service wasn’t looking at her in the crowd that day.”   
      
   Based on the general profile of an assassin, she added, “They were looking   
   for a man, foreign-born, a loner with delusions of grandeur, not a white,   
   middle-aged lady with curly hair.”
