For the next 3 weeks, an exclusive never-before aired interview with Robert F. Kennedy. Conducted by NY Times Columnist Anthony Lewis on December 4, 1964, this interview focuses mainly on civil rights, especially some of the crises that occurred during JFK's presidency, and RFK's tenure as Attorney General. In the last program, we'll hear RFK's thoughts not only on Civil Rights, but also on the FBI, J. Edgar Hoover and RFK's attempts to break up organized crime.
