5. Incredible that this was also an ex temp speech under great duress.

He spoke from the heart, having discarded the speech he was to give, and having been informed only minutes earlier of the Memphis tragedy.

I had spent a day with RFK in suburban Philly one week earlier (the day after LBJ's abdication), and had spoken with MLK in Cleveland the day before he was shot. God what a time that was.

Please don't talk to me about "lone nut assassins." That whole deal was the orchestrated destruction of liberalism.
