Bobby Kennedy escorts Jackie Kennedy out of Air Force One with JFK’s coffin. He boarded the plane himself as the stairs were still coming down, hurried past the now-president Lyndon B. Johnson, and embraced Jackie. // “People say he is ruthless and cold. I just think, ‘If they could only know the compassion of that boy.’ He isn’t like the others. I think it was his place in the family, with four girls and being younger than two brothers and so much smaller. He hasn’t got the graciousness they had. He is really very shy, but he has the kindest heart in the world.” - Jackie Kennedy speaking to Dorothy Schiff about Bobby Kennedy.
