Robert F. Kennedy

Robert F. Kennedy (November 20, 1925–June 6, 1968) was a United States Senator from 1965 until his assassination in 1968. Kennedy was one of the first of the new "American Royal Families," families that seemingly have a continuous presence in national politics. Kennedy served as Attorney General under his brother, John F. Kennedy, and Lyndon Baines Johnson after his brother's assassination.

Generally considered a mean cuss, especially while serving as U.S. Attorney General. Underwent an epiphany following Jack's death and became a born-again lefty (or so the legend goes). We now know J. Edgar Hoover had blackmail files on approximately threeve fafillion people, the Kennedy Bros. included, thus 'motivating' RFK (ostensibly his boss) to sign off on some of the harsher decisions.[1]

[edit] Death

Robert Kennedy was making a strong run for the presidency when he was shot dead in a Los Angeles hotel on June 6, 1968.

As with his brother, there is a conspiracy theory concerning his assassination.[2]
