For Those Too Young To Remember Bobby Kennedy...



..here are a couple of retrospectives from NEWSWEEK to give you a little more insight into the man:

Please read them. And let me know if you hear of anything on TV that will commemorate his life BEFORE it airs. I want to watch as much of it as I can. If there are DVDs (copyrighted professional DVD's, not knock-offs) available of the program(s), let me know how to order them.

Thanks!

And here's the speech Bobby made (YouTube) in Indianapolis the night Martin Luther King was assassinated. You'll get a great insight into the man by hearing it. It was extremporaneous -- he didn't have time to write or finesse it, yet it's great, like his heart...

I also just today added a couple of YouTube videos to the earliest blog about Bobby (Forty Years and I Still Miss Bobby), earlier this week. Please view those as well...

And, here's Bobby's eulogy, by Edward M Kennedy:

Finally, here is the eulogy again, with a montage of photos illustrating the points being made by Senator Edward Kennedy in the eulogy:
