Talk:Everett Dirksen

There is probably some wiggle room in his death. He didn't die directly from the cancer, but from pneumonia contracted after the tumor was removed. However, I argue that since he underwent the operation because of the cancer, so the cancer does play a role in his death. But he could conceivably be under any infectious disease category in addition to the cancer. TR 20:20, November 7, 2010 (UTC)
