ITEM # 2 |
| Very hard
to find June 1968 copies of Time (6/14/68)
and Newsweek (6/17/68) which cover the
assassination of Robert F. Kennedy on
the cover, in many black & white and
color photographs, and in depth articles
that recount the life of Bobby Kennedy
and the details of his murder by Sirhan
Sirhan. The articles go into detail on
Robert Kennedy's service in the administration
of his brother John F. Kennedy, championing
of civil rights, and his political rise
as he ran for teh presidency he was poised
to win before his assassination on that
fateful day of June 6, 1968. Defeated
by Eugene McCarthy in Oregon, Kennedy
desperately needed to win the California
Presidential primary, and on June 5, 1968
he did. His victory speech at Los Angeles’
Ambassador Hotel ended with the phrase:
“And now, on to Chicago…” Leaving the
building through the hotel’s kitchen area,
Bobby Kennedy was accosted by a Palestinian,
Sirhan Sirhan, who was reputedly angry
with Kennedy because of the Senator’s
support of Israel. Firing at Kennedy,
he felled the Senator with 3 shots including
one to the head, and also hit other bystanders
with gunfire. Senator Robert F. Kennedy
died the next day, and his funeral was
an emotional event that began at St. Patrick’s
Cathedral in New York and culminated in
Arlington Cemetery’s only evening burial.
The Time and Newsweek articles recount
this history, the gunman and his plotting,
and the emotional aftermath of Kennedy's
assassination. Also filled with great
vintage advertising for cars, cigarettes,
early computers (we've included a photo
of an IBM ad which was an early use of
an African American in a major company
national ad), and more, these 2 vintage
news magazines were part of a major estate
consignment exclusive to Collectics from
a major collector of Kennedy memorabilia |
