Kennedy?","description":"This week at In The Past Lane, the podcast about American history and why it matters, we take a close look at Robert F. Kennedy. Here\u2019s the lineup: 1) First up, it\u2019s a short feature on the basics of the life of RFK. 2) Next, I speak with author Larry Tye about his biography, Bobby Kennedy: The Making of A Liberal Icon&amp;nbsp;(2016, Random House). Tye is the author of many best-selling biographies and he\u2019s at his best in this new look at RFK. One of the myths he\u2019s eager to dispel is the notion that there were two, polar opposite Bobby Kennedys \u2013 the bad boy in the 1950s who worked for Sen. Joseph McCarthy and later waged war on organized labor and the saintly good guy in the mid-1960s who fought for social justice. 3. And we bring you two remarkable audio clips from the 1960s. First, an excerpt from RFK\u2019s 1968 speech, \u201cThe Mindless Menace of Violence\u201d and second, Ted Kennedy\u2019s eulogy for RFK two months later.
