bobby refusing to say anything against LBJ when he’d be asked by reporters what he thought about his political stances but then doing a whole speech against johnson’s said political stances in another location on a different day

an excerpt of mahler’s ‘adagietto’ from symphony no. 5 led by leonard bernstein and the new york philharmonic recorded in st. patrick’s cathedral on june 8, 1968, the day of bobby’s funeral. (yes it’s the real recording)

days before the funeral, jackie called leonard bernstein to help ethel plan bobby’s funeral. when bernstein told her that women couldn’t sing in the cathedral, jackie said “so what? this is special. this is bobby. they will make an exception.”

finally they settled on mahler. after the funeral, jackie sent him a letter of gratitude, thanking him for his participation:

“when your mahler started to fill (but that is the wrong word — because it was more this sensitive trembling) the cathedral today — i thought it was the most beautiful music i had ever heard. i am so glad i didn’t know it — it was this strange music of all the gods who were crying. and then — if only you could have seen it - it was the time when ethel had thought of the most touching thing — having the littlest nephews and nieces, small children, before that terrifying array of cardinals and gold and gothic vaults, carry all the little vessels for communion up to the high altar, so that they could have some part in the farewell to the uncle they all loved so much. they were so vulnerable — and your music was everything in my heart, of peace and pain and such drowning beauty. you could just close your eyes and be lost in it forever.”

in an interview with jean stein a year later, bernstein shared his thoughts about that day:

it was just a movement from mahler’s fifth, but it’s of particularly poignant intensity, and it’s just exactly the right music for this occasion. even, perhaps, too emotional, or passionate. but somehow nothing could be emotional or passionate enough to express that moment.

and here are the three of them (bobby, jackie, and leonard) at the dining hall of the metropolitan opera house in new york city. april 28 1965.

we can all agree jfk was sexy right?

"When he shall die take him and cut him out into stars and he shall make the face of heaven so fine that all the world will be in love with night and pay no worship to the garish sun."

I have a severe kennedy fixation so I drew my favs 😇

I know it’s a big example of nepotism but like I think it’s cute that bobby was one of jfk’s closest confidants and advisors during his presidency i miss them guys

thinking things society will shun me for

john ‘jack’ f. kennedy participating in a running gag created by a newly married bobby & ethel kennedy. filmed outside their first home as a married couple. very early 1950s.

pretty sure that it’s ethel who jack bumps into, judging by the short, trimmed hair she sported at the time and the clothes, which means it’s definitely bobby who was filming!

JFK nicknamed his sister-in-law, Joan Kennedy, ”The Dish” in 1960.

“Most people don’t know it, but in 1960 that expression was quite a compliment … especially coming from Jack Kennedy.”

Who did he first say the nickname to, Ted?

“No, he said it to me! And then, later, to the Senator.”

I bet he was happy about that?

“Oh yes, quite proud.”

Did you have a favorite brother in law?

“If I did, I wouldn’t tell you. They were so different. There was something about Jack. Both were very nice to me. That’s the important thing, isn’t it?”

robert f kennedy after interrupting his own indiana campaign schedule—humours a very smitten young girl @ an indianapolis daycare in 1968. 😢

“Bye-bye I’ve gotta go now”

“Where are you going?”

“Oh I don’t know, going to speak to some grown ups I think. That’s not nearly as much fun.”

So uhhh… yeah

Crazy how Dean Martin’s whole thing was to be deeply fond and affectionate toward a complete clown ten years his junior until they broke up and then his whole thing became pretending to be drunk all the time. was he okay
