When one hears the name Kennedy, most think of JFK or maybe even Jackie. But it was serious young Robert Kennedy who faced off with Jimmy Hoffa and the Teamsters during the Rackets Committee hearings of the late fifties and who during the Cuban Missile Crisis possessed a dissenting voice to which the President was open to listen.
When we think of the 1960’s, we hear JFK’s challenge: “Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.”
RFK took up that gauntlet. He was thirty-six when he became the US Attorney General. At thirty-nine, he was elected US Senator and later started his Presidential campaign. History asks the question, what might have been had he finished the race?
