Yesterday marked the 35th anniversary of the assasination of Bobby Kennedy. He was shot after winning the 1968 California primary a little after midnight on June 5. He died 35 years ago today. My dad worked with Bobby Kennedy while serving as counsel to Senate subcommittees. (He worked for Sen. Abe Ribicoff (D-CT) in the 60s). And my dad was in the Ambassador Hotel the night he was shot - ready to help elect Kennedy president. He left public service after that and to this day doesn't like to talk about it. And if you knew my dad, you'd know that's saying something. He likes to talk about anything political. I've always wondered how world history, and my family's own history, might be different today if he had survived.

And maybe it's just me, but the lack of news coverage marking this anniversary is outrageous.
