President Barack Obama strode into a room thick with humanity, a broad bank of cameras dominating the back and at least a score of photographers, mini-ladders in tow, ringing the side reserved for standing-room only observers.

“Consider this a symbol of an offer that’s coming”, Kerr said as he presented Obama with the jersey and the president demonstrated his shooting form.
Kerr’s father, Malcolm, was only 54 years old when he was shot and killed in 1984 by gunmen in Lebanon, where he served as president of the American University of Beirut.
