"'That stain of bloodshed': After King's assasination, RFK calmed an angry crowd with an unforgettable speech", Michael S. Rosenwald, WaPo today:

The following day, RFK gave a speech at the National Press Club in DC, his only presidential campaign "event" of the day, called "The Mindless Menace of Violence": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhANTymDIYk

Listening to the recording yesterday, in the wake of year after year of senseless violence in our country, brought William Faulkner's comment to mind: "The past is never dead. It's not even past."

Romney urges Trump to issue an apology for his Charlottesville remarks

The 2012 GOP presidential nominee and former governor of Massachusetts warned of “an unraveling of our national fabric” if the president doesn’t take “remedial action in the extreme.”

@ WaPo, Aug. 18, one can find paywall-free coverage elsewhere.

He did fine here, mho. But while it works for liberal and national morals in this situation, in the past I see Mormon elder morals haven't always.(is an old WaPo link about his work as a Bishop)
