it's the later bobby kennedy, called "the good bobby." bobby was, the good the dominant personality and the one who was running for president and who would have made, i think, one of the great presidents, and is not accidental that barack obama, and i think hillary clinton, look as their role models more than any politicians in american history to bobby kennedy being the one they want to model themselves after. i would like to say one last inng -- bill green introducing me joked that i had written books on very strange named including on a guy superman. i wrote a biography of superman, and i would like to just present this shirt to build green. it is -- i won't make you put it on tonight.

bobby kennedy was attorney general and treat lbj very poorly when he was vice-president. they did not like each other. that is a euphemism. they hated eve other. just despised each other. johnson becomes president when president kennedy is assassinated. bobby kennedy is still his attorney general for a period of time but the friction is very tense between them. interestingly, if you go back and look into the archives, bobby kennedy even then was giving private historical interviews to the kennedy library, not be released for many years, and he starts riffing on lyndon johnson and can't stop. this is back in 1964. an animal, not even a human. this horrible, horrible guy. while he was doing that, he was still trying to maneuver himself as johnson roz vice presidential running mate in 19684. lbj gave very seisorsing you thought for hitting on the tim for burn won't. her as afraid if nelson rockefeller got the rescue nomination for president, he would have to reach out to kennedy supporters and would put him on the ticket. once barry gold water got the national mission, johns

bobby kennedy was not there in chicago mccarthy wise. there is a story in the book that really happened. mccarthy said people brought their signs to the convention hall and had them stored in the lockers but through some accident the national guard made all of the signs unusual one -- unusable. there was a story i did not know until i research the book and really had not been written about very much. once johnson dropped out his poll numbers shot up 50% in one day unprecedented nobody had this type of crime. and that was sacrificing into soonest johnson saw that why do i need to get out of the race? lyndon johnson behind the scenes? coming up to the convention was plotting to work it out to get a draft because humphrey was a weak candidate he thought eugene mccarthy was a fluke and johnson was getting pressure. it was almost set up. johnson had mere daily invite him to chicago for his birthday party he wasn't going to the convention but going to the birthday party to announce he was going to russia soviet union as the first president to

i was an 11-year-old, out in oregon, and bobby kennedy as we affectionately referred to him was camign my state. he was going very quickly from community to community, delivering speeches and n one high school -- in one high school after another. and my grade school 6th grade teacher announced that he was going to give a speech at my high school, except i was only in 6th grade and i had never set foot in the halls of that high school. he was going to give a speech talked to my father andy father was a mechanic. he worked very hard. he was often in the evening quite happy to settle in, watch the national news, read the newspaper and reflect on the news of the day, and so i came to him, and i said i understand robert kennedy's giving a speech, and we could go see him. and my father said it's the end of the day, son, and i just don't feel like going out again. and at that moment, i wish so much that i had said i think i will go down to that high school, find my way down to that high school i have never been to and see him speak, but i didn't. it is one of the things i have regretted all m

bobby was raised in a family that recognized the privileges it had. the advantages it has had from its history, its affluence, it's connections. but also recognize that with all extraad was an responsility, a sizable responsibility to use those advantages to help others, and that, too, is something that as -- is wortalof us thinking about. whether it was the fight for civil rights, championing the poor, and destitute, living in third world conditions in apple asia, the mississippi delta, challenging south africa's students to chat -- stand up against apartheid, or organizing , his life was dedicated to helping others. when our nation seemed poised on the brink of tearing itself apart, there was bobby kennedy, preaching a message of love, of wisdom, and compassion to one another. . message of reunification a message of reconciliation. this, his efforts to take that vision, that vion of wisdom and compassion and reconciliation to the presidency, never happened, because that opportunity was cut short by an assassin's bullet. that happened just after bobb

bobbi kristina would never know a normal childhood. >> ultimately, you know, whitney and bobby made the. there's only so much anyone else can do. >> would you ever have fathomed you would lose whitney and then three years later lose bobbi kristina? >> it was really, really difficult. i always said if she were 17 years old, we could have gotten her and put her in our home to be with us. but she was 18. >> reporter: like her mother, 22-year-old bobbi kristina would be found facedown in a bathtub. and later died. the singer also had a complicated relationship with mom sissy, a famous gospel singer who groomed her daughter from an early age. in one intimate moment, we see their love and closeness. >> whitney never forgot who to call on when she needed them. she would always address, i need my mother. so when the chips were down, oh, yeah, she called for her mom. >> reporter: one of whitney's closest confidants was creative director robby crawford, a woman her family wanted whitney to avoid at all costs. what was her relationship with robin? >> what i saw in whitney and robin were two best f

give us a story about bobby.'re the last word. >> a great story that hasn't been known, marian wright edelman told me about it. that is when she was working with dr. king shortly before his ath to try to figure out how best to spotlight the problems of poverty in america, they had no idea how to carry that forward. she went to robert kennedy who said you have to bring poor people to washington because it's essential for our leaders to see the lives being led by the less fortunate among us. so that concept for the poor people's march is due in part to robert kennedy. >> what do you think of that? >> that's pretty amazing to think that he had the foresight to know that he hado see people to make them real for the nation. i think that's an idea that we see kind of repeated over and over again in a lot of protests i've covered you have to see african-american kids to care about them. >> life you have to experience it. >> i agree. i think he was of a special breed of a politician, of a leader who recognizes that it's

and sitting there with bobby in the car. bobby was sitting with dick goodman.going to have to promise him secretary of state. these guys were sitting there talking jut like we are now. every day alive, none of us see this coming. that's why i write about it and thing about it, what was it like when they're alive? because we know what it's like when they're dead. that's the thing to remember that they were once alive and once great leaders. >> joe, how would bobby kennedy's hopes and dreams hold up today? >> well, i think they still do hold up well today. you know, i remember, one of my first memories of any political or historic event was the morning that bobby kennedy was assassinated. i was 5 years old. i was in the suburbs of atlanta georgia, we were driving to vacation bible school. i heard it on the radio. and i watched my grandmom watch in horror, the news across the tv. that said his words inspired me as a teenager. his actions in cape town, indianapol indianapolis, the extraordinary campaign in 1968. you know, i've spent my life reading and studying and

and i -- >> mccarthy and bobby kennedy were not pals. didn't know who the other man was, but i had hoped there was someone better. i couldn't name him right offhand at the time. >> my father didn't like mccarthy. he thought mccarthy was effete. he couldn't picture mccarthy at a cuban missile crisis. >> eugene mccarthy was basically a one-issue candidate. he was a peace candidate. but kennedy had a broader vision in terms of what's happening in the cities, what's happening around race and the issues of poverty. >> we want kennedy! we want kennedy! >> we cannot separate ourselves no matter where we live from the problems and the troubles and the difficulties that face the whole of the united states. >> ladies and gentlemen, the vice president and the next president of the united states, hubert h. humphrey. >> i shall seek the nomination of the democratic party. >> when humphrey came in as a candidate, he was regarded as a johnson surrogate. >> i will run on the record of the johnson/humphrey administrations, but i will not rest on it. >> a

but it is not bobby robson's fault.people forget is he managed at barcelona, in holland and porto, in portugal, where he won titles and metjose mourinho, who became his assistant and was in shot constantly. whatever happened to him! it is terrific. it is about the relationships, that he had as a manager, perhaps the most famous with was his relationship with a footballer called gazza. paul gascoigne. sound guy. i call him daft as a brush, and he was. daft as a brush, yeah, he can be that. so i had to wait until he was absolutely ready, until we felt we could really rely on him. he says if you play well, i'm going to pick you for the world cup. commentator: gascoigne! thank you very much. set up three and scored one. and i always remember him — "that was fantastic. " going to spend two hours tomorrow with him, to try and restore a bit of confidence, you know, he's lacking in confidence, isn't he, the boy. do you have to be an absolute football lover to enjoy this or does it tell you lots of things about the man you didn'

bobby kennedy evolved. a once fearless advocate for joseph mccarthy, he ends up becoming a serious and considered in principled defender of an advocate for racial justitice, but not withot consternation, not without contradiction, not without complication. his relationship to martin luther king junior, for instance, is quite interesting because after that death that i gin with, after the funeral i begin with the we remember that bobby kennedy spoke in indianapolis bravely about the death of king. he announced to those black people in the hood what had gone on against the advice of his advisers who said it is going to be tough. at are going to the ghetto this particular moment at the death of their foremost figure, it could be really treacherous for you and very careless. he went on anyhow. gril u speech - -- he gave a brilliant speech.

and there were people carrying sign saying "we love you, bob bobby," "goodbye, bobby."rain to stop. i wanted to continue on that train dreaming and hoping some way and somehow that we could have someone like bobby kennedy again. he gave people hope. he inspired the best of us. >> what i love about that, and i remember watching on tv. what grips me about it today is what's lost. the african american people in philadelphia where i grew up with 20,000 people at 30 street station singing spontaneously the battle hymn of the republic. and then those poor whites and people who live along train tracks tend to be poor people. and poor whites, they were poor as dirt some of them, saluting him almost religiously. that combination, that coalition seems to be in tatters right now. >> if somehow we can restore the dreams, the hopes and aspiration of bobby kennedy, we can make america what america should be again. the capacity to live together as brothers and sisters. can we all live in the same house, the american house? >> don't go anywhere, congressman. please stay with us forever

you can look at bobby kennedy's life.o april 4, 1968, martin luther king assassinated, bobby kennedy said he wanted to go into the center of indianapolis. the police said no,'t ther 's too dangerous. he said i'm going, that's where i need to be. the cops said there was going to be rioting, we'll drive you to the edge of the neighborhood, we won't go in, bobby kennedy went in and he mdifference. there s rioting in about 100 cities that night, indianapolis went to sleep peacefully because mike int this was a man who suffered such incredible who lost brothers, who lost sisters and when he sad there and said i understand you lost a friend, it a brother, let's come together. peleelie him. >> joe, you just touched on one of the core aspects of robert kennedy, both his life and his career as a politician. people get authenticity. they get it. almost always they get it and the discussion about the train. i was on that train and i can remember almost every moment of that trip on that train vividly as if it occurred this morning. i

after he was shot, bobby clung to life for about 26 hours.who worked for bobby kennedy and loved bobby kennedy had to make the most painful announcement that any presidential campaign press secretary has ever had to make. >> i have short -- i have a short announcement to read. which i will read at this time. senator robert francis kennedy died at 1:44 a.m. today june 6th, 1968. with senator kennedy at the time of his death were his wife ethel, his sisters mrs. steven smith, mrs. patricia law ford, his brother-in-law steven smith, his sister-in-law, mrs. john f. kennedy. he was 42 years old. thank you. >> i was in high school in boston then and i remember everyone still fighting back tears. hours later when on the evening news that night nbc's chet huntley said this. >> a little before 1:00 this afternoon pacific time, senator kennedy's body was taken to los angeles international airport in with relatives and close associates. at 1:28 p.m. the white house airplane took off bearing the body of kennedy. even as the great jet wheeled out over the
