Robert Francis Kennedy was born on November 20, 1925, in Brookline, Massachusetts. He was the seventh child in the closely-knit family of Joseph P. and Rose Kennedy. The family was very competitive in everything from scholastics to touch football. Robert, also known as Bobby, was not as athletic as the rest of his siblings nor was his academics level as high as theirs either. Bobby was considered the runt of the Kennedy litter. Bobby learned at an early age to strive for his absolute best. It has been said of him that nearly everything seemed an uphill battle. Robert Kennedy's childhood had been difficult; trying to find his place within his large lively family had been hard at times. Bobby always struggled to keep up. He had a lot to look up to with his father being an ambassador and his older brothers were very brilliant and athletic. The whole family was prestigious at that. As he made his way through his professional life he was to face the same p

The following day was June 4...Election Day. A day off, at least until late afternoon when sample precinct reports from California would come in. So the Kennedy's decided to spend the night and the next day at John Frankenheimer's beach house in Malibu with six of their children.

Mankiewicz urged him to hurry saying that a more-than-capacity crowd of 1800 were waiting. Kennedy turned to where Ethel, pregnant with their 11th child was resting. "Ready?" he asked. "Ready!" she answered, rising brightly. (Lewis)

On the Sunday before the California primary, Kennedy had appeared before groups in the hotel, and addressed other wild and enthusiastic supporters in the green and flowery East gardens. It was during this period that he rejected, and then heatedly dismissed the protection of the Los Angeles Police Department.

Who really killed Bobby still remains a mystery today. And as for Sirhan...he is still locked up behind bars to this day. The final chapter of Robert Kennedy's life, perhaps even a prediction, might be found in the poem by his favorite poet Aeschylus that he was fond of quoting:

When both CBS and NBC forecast that Kennedy was winning the California primary election over Senator Eugene McCarthy, press officer Frank Mankiewicz rushed in to Kennedy's bedroom where he was hunched on the edge of the bed, tired, edgy, looking small and vulnerable. His son David kissed him on the cheek and sat down close to his father.

He returned to the hotel shortly after 7 P.M. to his Royal Suite accommodations to find them filled with 100 of his staff, some privileged reporters and other hangers-on. Several television, radio, and newspaper interviews with the Senator followed while they all watched the returns on television.

Kennedy went to Harvard University but his studies were interrupted by the second world war. In November 1944, he joined the United States Navy but the war finished before he was called into action. He returned to Harvard and graduated in 1948. Three years later he received his law degree from the University of Virginia Law School.
