Bobby. He went from a cold-blooded streetfighter to tenderly compassionate big brother about as fast as a car goes from 0 to 60. He did the big turnabout. And he stayed there. I often wonder just how far he would have gone, just where he would have taken it if the Nixon Years had been replaced by The Bobby Years. How far we might have gone?
He was killed at the height of his personal and political power. For a man earlier in life always described as ruthless, it was amazing to watch him jump the rails. /jack
