  ‘Three major assassinations rocked America in the 1960s. Two of the assassins – Lee Harvey Oswald, the killer of John F. Kennedy, and James Earl Ray, who shot Martin Luther King Jr. – are dead. But Sirhan Sirhan, convicted of killing Robert F. Kennedy 40 years ago in the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, is living out his days in the California state prison at Corcoran.

So, he wears no awe-inspiring robe of virtue with me.” On Hubert Humphrey: “A candidate who needs us and wants our help . . . somebody we control sufficiently.” On Richard Nixon: “My man. He I know for sure knows the facts of life.”‘
