in restless dreams I walked




     Our Bobby Kennedy series concludes with a six-minute You Tube video titled,

Tom Brokaw Reflects On Robert F. Kennedy In California.

     When we watch this one, two striking speeches are heard:  candidate Kennedy on April 4, 1968 in Indianapolis informing a black audience of Martin Luther King's assassination (his announcement is met with screams and cries of shock and sorrow); and at RFK's funeral, Ted Kennedy's memorably moving eulogy -- "saw wrong and tried to right it; saw pain and tried to heal it..."

     In the Indianapolis clip, you almost can't believe it when he calls for "love."  It is astounding to hear.
