June 7, 1968: ".the tragedy of this past week doesn't leave much room for happiness, particularly to one who was such a good friend of Bob Kennedy. I know how much he admired you, and I know of you great respect and admiration for him. His death is a great loss not only to his personal friends and family but to our country. Despite all that the columnists and others had to say, the relationships between Bob Kennedy and myself were good and friendly. This you know as one of his close friends."

It's not only sad -- in many ways it's pathetic ." Mar. 27, 1974: "I saw you on television Sunday. Your performace was superb. Your message was needed.
