41 years ago, June 8, 1968, Robert Kennedy's Funeral -- Eulogy delivered by Senator Edward Kennedy. (Transcript and audio of the entire speech at St. Patrick's Cathedral, New York.) A blurry, moving two minutes: "Some men see things as they are and say, "Why?" I dream things that never were and say, "Why not?" The Kennedy brothers, for all their flaws, represented a quality that seems largely missing from today's wealthy: An abiding responsibility towards improving the lives of those who don't share their blessings, a moral and spiritual obligation to use their power to turn compassion into action, to change the world for the better for all. |
