ETA: It didn't sink in with me until I gave the link for June 6 that this show was to open (and the NYTimes article makes it sound like it was maybe only going to be open for one day) on the 40th anniversary of the assassination of Bobby Kennedy. He died 40 years ago today, but he was shot 40 years ago yesterday. I'm thinking that wasn't a coincidence.

The 40th anniversary of his assassination has been discussed for the past week in the media. It reminds us of what happens when there is a threat of change.

It is really interesting that someone would say that candidates shouldn't have SS protection, in light of the assassination of public figures.

Yes, I've heard some good stories on it, and it has taken me back to remembering watching his funeral on TV. I just hadn't put the pieces together as far as this story went.

'Course, some would say that Hillary Clinton brought Kennedy's assassination up first.
