President Bush ordered flags be flown at half staff (not half mass) for 30 days in honor of the late President Gerald R. Ford.

Read a newspaper, for heaven's sake.
How could any American watching television, listening to radio, or reading the front page headlines of their newspaper NOT know that President Ford died?
and incidentally, it is "half-mast", not "half mass "
