The assassination of Robert Kennedy - Part 1 — Signs of the Times News

It’s difficult to imagine, today, what Robert Kennedy meant to many in the U.S. in 1968. There is really no parallel that can be drawn with any politician since. …

The country Robert Kennedy sought the presidency of was fractured and, so it seemed to many, on the brink of collapse. …

Every political and social card was up in the air and no one knew where they would land.

And into the middle of this chaos came the younger brother of John Kennedy, affectionately referred to by many as simply Bobby. He had served as Attorney General of the United States in his brother’s administration. During that time, he earned a reputation for being highly intelligent, indefatigable, and unbelievably honest. As one contemporary stated,

“The politicians are half people as a rule or 60% people. The other 40% is some putty that’s trying to please and beg and plead and whine. You can’t even have a drink with them. They’re awful. It’s a bad breed. [Bobby] was almost a whole person, yes, which is a rarity in politics.”

…

… And the powers-that-be were terrified of what might happen if Bobby Kennedy became president.
