I know, I think sometimes people forget that when they think of Ted Kennedy, that on those dark days while the nation and its citizens mourned the losses of John and Robert, no one could be more in grief and sadness than Teddy who adored his brothers. He put on a brave front to led on the family legacy, to be the father to his own children and to his nieces and nephews. That cannot have been easy to go through.

@@rr7firefly Oswald's political ideals remained with him up to the moment of his death and there is convincing evidence to support this. It was inevitable that someone as politically motivated as Oswald would eventually reveal his political self that tragic weekend. A man like Oswald needed a stage to show the world he was a true revolutionary. But he did not do this by confessing. Instead he showed his commitment to his ideals by a clenched fist salute, a symbol of left-wing radicalism, as he was paraded around the Dallas police station. There are at least two published photos of Oswald giving this gesture. The most famous photograph showing Oswald’s clenched-fist salute was first identified by Jean Davison in her excellent book about Oswald’s motives, Oswald's Game (1983). The photo was taken by an AP photographer. The second photo has been overlooked by most researchers and appeared in the UPI/American Heritage book Four Days (1964). The caption for the UPI photo reads, “...Oswald shakes his fist at reporters inside police headquarters...”, an unlikely description of Oswald's actions. Most JFK conspiracy advocates have assumed that Oswald was merely showing the photographers his manacled hands. But there is a definite clenched-fist salute portrayed on both occasions. He repeated this gesture as he lay dying in the ambulance. According to Dallas policeman Billy Combest, he made a “definite clenched fist”. Some conspiracists have dismissed this vital piece of evidence claiming that a clenched-fist salute did not come into vogue until the late 1960’s. However, communists and left-wing militant groups have used the salute since the 1930’s - in the political elections in Germany in 1930 and in Spain during that period.

It's fascinating to imagine how televised things 60 years ago when 60 years ago at any other time would've meant only oral recollections/written records. The kids from the 60's are in their 50s. Truely a bygone era and in memory of all those people who died since this video was made.

I was too young to remember this stuff. I was about a year and two weeks old during this. But, I remember all the somber talks about the Kennedy's as a little boy. The pain and depression lasted a long time. It's never been the same country afterward. I remember when John Lennon was shot, thinking it was no big deal because of how normal shootings of important or famous people had always seemed to me. There's really something wrong here.

That train and the people who stood along that track, waiting hours, just to be there in the moment it passed by……..RFK transcended race, status, and political party. We lost something the day he died, just as we did when JFK died, and Lincoln, MLK….all the great change makers. I imagine those great men, stood waiting to lead him home.

Roger Mudd famously helped sink Ted Kennedy’s White House ambitions by simply asking why the senator wanted to be president, leaving the candidate flustered. Mudd reported on some of the biggest stories in Washington during the 1960s and 1970s. He covered the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, the Watergate scandal, and the resignation of President Richard Nixon in 1974. But he was best known for his interview with Kennedy in 1979 in an hour-long profile of the prominent liberal senator from Massachusetts. The interview was held as Kennedy prepared to announce his bid to challenge Democratic President Jimmy Carter for the party’s 1980 presidential nomination. What happened during Roger Mudd's interview with Ted Kennedy? Kennedy appeared awkward and unsure through much of the famous interview. But he was totally flummoxed when Mudd posed a simple, straightforward question: "Why do you want to be president?" The senator’s halting, rambling reply was later seen as pivotal to dooming his presidential prospects. Carter defeated Kennedy for the nomination before losing the general election to Republican Ronald Reagan.

At least two of the documents outline some of the Kennedy administration’s policy and actions toward Cuban dictator Fidel Castro. According to a 1975 document simply titled “CASTRO,” the CIA was involved in assassination plots against Castro as early as late 1959 and early 1960, even during preparations for the Bay of Pigs. In 1962, a proposal was put forward called “Operation Bounty,” which would create “a system of financial rewards…for killing or delivering alive known Communists.” As part of the operation, leaflets were to be distributed via air to Cuba, including one announcing “a .02¢ reward for the delivery of Castro.” The low amount was restricted to Castro himself, and was reportedly meant to “denigrate” the Cuban leader. Another potential plan, according to another 1975 report, involved getting poison botulism pills to “organized crime figures,” who would then pass them to their Cuban contacts in the hopes of reaching someone close to Castro. The same document also includes an FBI memo stating that Robert Kennedy told the agency that the CIA had hired an intermediary to approach Mafia boss Sam Giancana offering to pay him to hire someone to kill Castro.
