The Sixth of June, Part II

This is also the forty third anniversary of Robert F. Kennedy's untimely death back in 1968.

Some will want to remember him as a sneak and a sort of American Cromwell. Others will hopefully recall his battles on behalf of America's poor, his devotion to the cause of civil rights and the ultimate sacrifice of his very life in a bid to end the Viet Nam War.

However, tragedy rules us like a tyrant if we do not let a little whimsy in now and again.
So let me take time today to recall that per Adam West's memoirs "Back to the Batcave" that then Senator Robert F. Kennedy lobbied the producers of the old Batman TV show for a ccameo appearance thereon as an otherwise un-named US Attorney General.
Mere scheduling prevented this whimsical marvel from happening, which is a helluva shame really.
