The above article from the New York Times shows a mourning Mrs. Kennedy at the Arlington National Cemetary. This is a good example of the large media coverage and magnitude of the assassination of RFK. At a time in which our country was undergoing great changes and conflict it was a huge loss of a popular candidate.
