Here's mine from Robert F. Kennedy: A Memoir by Jack Newfield:
What his romanticism did was provide an emotional ballast for his pragmaticism, to give it a humanist thrust. It was what made him different from more detached and conservative friends, like Robert McNamara, Byron White, or Theodore Sorensen. Kennedy identified with people, not data, or institutions, or theories. Poverty was a specific black face to him, not a manila folder full of statistics.

I find anything about the Kennedy dynasty intriguing.

ReplyDeleteHmm, pretty detailed. I've never read anything on the Kennedy's - esp not a bio.

Good teaser! I'm not big on biographies or memoirs, but the Kennedys were certainly one of the great American Dynasties. Thanks for stopping by my blog today!
