One of the most intriguing mysteries about the assassination of John
F. Kennedy, that darkest of American labyrinths, is why his brother
Robert F. Kennedy apparently did nothing to investigate the crime.
Bobby Kennedy was, after all, not just the attorney general of the
United States at the time of the assassination -- he was his
brother's devoted partner, the man who took on the administration's
most grueling assignments, from civil rights to organized crime to
Cuba, the hottest Cold War flashpoint of its day. But after the burst
of gunfire in downtown Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963, ended this unique
partnership, Bobby Kennedy seemed lost in a fog of grief, refusing to
discuss the assassination with the Warren Commission, and telling
friends he had no heart for an aggressive investigation. "What
difference does it make?" he would say. "It won't bring him back."
But Bobby Kennedy was a complex man, and his years in Washington had
taught him to keep his own counsel and proceed in a subterranean
fashion. What he said in public about Dallas was not the full story.
Privately, RFK -- who had made his name in the 1950s as a relentless
investigator of the underside of American power -- was consumed by
the need to know the real story about his brother's assassination.
This fire seized him on the afternoon of Nov. 22, as soon as FBI
chief J. Edgar Hoover, a bitter political enemy, phoned to say --
almost with pleasure, thought Bobby -- that the president had been
shot. And the question of who killed his brother continued to haunt
Kennedy until the day he too was gunned down, on June 5, 1968.
