remembering 1968...

No, this isn't about Hillary. But her reference to RFK brought back the smell and taste of 1968... If you weren't there, it is hard to express what it was like. Vietnam, the draft, civil rights... it felt like the forces of Good and Evil were locked in an epochal battle for the future of mankind. That might seem absurdly naive today, but for sure that is what it felt like. And when RFK was assassinated, coming as soon as it did after MLK was assassinated, and with the shadow of JFK still hovering in the background, a chill passed through the world. The message was clear: if you were inspirational, good, true, and making a difference -- you would be killed.

From that moment on, I have felt on the losing side.

Marc Grossman is the Under Secretary?

One source of endless speculation will be filling in the blanks of unnamed actors in the indictment. I was hoping for Bolton, but CNN is saying that the Undersecretary in the Libby indictment is Marc Grossman.
