The Los Angeles Times ran this Op-Ed piece by the great Jimmy Breslin on Breslin's reaction to seeing the new Emilio Estevez film, Bobby. Jimmy is uniquely qualified to weigh in on this subject as he was there at the Ambassador hotel that horrible night in 1968. More than there, he was as close as you would ever want to come to this sort of history.
Well worth the read as Breslin captures the chaos of that night and the horrific act that took place in front of him. But he also captures the hope of the earlier part of that evening. He captures the spirit America used to have, before all our heroes were assassinated. Like I said, worth the read.
