I do think that RFK's death has been a wee-bit exaggerated. But that too was a significant event in that it altered the 1968 presidential election.

As one who "was there" RFK's death was shattering. I didn't see him in the same light with JFK and MLK, but he was the representative of the legacy of "Camelot" and his death was a staggering blow to those of us who idealistically hoped that some good could yet come out of the deaths of JFK and MLK. In particular, many of us hoped that he could stem the rising tide of violence.

So, to those of us who were there, his death as significant (and devastating) as the others.

peace and love,
