This review is from: RFK: In His Own Words (Audio Cassette)

This collection of speeches provides a good picture of the man who would be president in 1968. It is an interesting progression of his thoughts on the issues of the day, issues which remain relevant today. In mulling over his words, one is struck by the man's sincerity -- I remember when I was a child, I would say, "Senator Kennedy is for real! He really does care about people!" The man's unusually high level of committment is readily apparent in his words. He was obviously somebody who set and met personal goals throughout his life -- in 1965 he climbed Mt. Kennedy, although he was an acrophobe; in adult life he educated himself in classical literature, thus increasing his knowlege base; he became personally involved with minorities and persons living in poverty and made these issues his own personal quest. He made himself accessible to his constituents and his works today serve as a model of a very committed man. This is something worth having.
