Kennedy Biographer's Portrait Deepens Nixon Era Controversy
The review surveys Arthur Schlesinger Jr.'s Robert Kennedy and His Times, arguing the biographer idolizes RFK while smoothing or ignoring his flaws. It contrasts Schlesinger with critics claiming Kennedy aided cold war actions, wiretapping, and crime fight methods, noting omissions of key events and skepticism about assassination theories. It also notes competing books on RFK and the Kennedy era.
