In today’s post I mentioned a compassionate intelligent interview that revealed Robert Kennedy in 1968, during his presidential bid that ended in his assassination. I need to correct one thing. It was David Frost, later Sir David Frost, who interviewed Bobby Kennedy, not Dick Cavett.
I found an interesting blog entry about this interview, on Jackthurston.com
His February 6, 2007 entry is entitled: Do they make politicians like this anymore? It speaks of that same interview I mentioned earlier today.
If you would like to hear that interview, click here. Gentlemanly is the word that comes to mind.
His blog title says it all – Do they make politicians like this anymore?
Kennedy understood back in 1968 that the real America might be more often found in places like Iowa, upstate New York, the small towns away from large frantic centers, where people live quietly while exhibiting courage and compassion. He was looking for the soul of the country, and I suspect, found it in places like the small Appalachian towns he visited in his last years of life.
Enjoy….
