Sorry for the rerun, but I'm afraid that this post is the best I have to offer to commemorate the 40th anniversary of RFK's assassination.
For those of you seeking actual edification, I can recommend this remembrance from former RFK friend and aide, and this excerpt from a soon-to-be-published book on RFK's 1968 presidential campaign.

I heard Terri Gross talking to a couple of guys last night who were there with Bobby--one of them talked about that feeling, as Bobby announced (a few minutes before the shooting) that he'd won California, that feeling he had that the whole world was about to change. That the presidency was next, and that the Vietnam War would end. And then it was gone with the gunshots. And instead of Bobby, we got Nixon. I had to pull over and cry for a while, pondering that.
I will have to go and listen. Thanks.
That might be the coolest political picture I have seen!
Looks like a must-read book. I didn't have time to read the VF article yet but these pictures are awesome, especially the one above.
the world became a sadder place on 6/6/68... and we have never recovered
