He still delivered a 90-minute speech; the bullet was never removed. President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt escaped an assassination attempt unhurt Feb. 15, 1933, in Miami. On June 4, 1968, candidate Robert F. Kennedy was shot and killed. Candidate George C. Wallace was shot and paralyzed on May 15, 1972. Compiled from Times staff and wires.
