We all lined up to meet Kennedy.

Kennedy and Denny jawed for about three minutes. I then got the 15-second hand shake.

John F. Kennedy, the man I had thought would define the political ideal for the rest of my days, was suddenly gone in the senseless violence of a single moment.

Brian, Josh and Elliot (Mattingly) had a good meet.

I did meet Sen. Robert Kennedy, and it taught me something about political charisma.

I'm always toast when I'm lined up versus 5.
