description: "Richard Paul Pavlick was an American postal worker from New Hampshire who stalked U.S. Senator and U.S. president-elect John F. Kennedy, with the intent of assassinating him. On December 11, 1960, in Palm Beach, Florida, Pavlick positioned himself to carry out the assassination by blowing up Kennedy and himself with dynamite, but delayed the attempt because Kennedy was with his wife Jacqueline and their two young children.\nHe was arrested before he was able to stage another attempt."
