暗殺40周年記念のテレビ番組（２）

　この番組（Hardball with Chris Matthews MSNBC.TV）に、サーストン・クラークさんが出演しています。
　ノンフィクションの自分の本が映画になるとは想像してなかったのではないでしょうか。

　これはFOX。これにも、クラークさん、ちらりと登場。
　ついでに、1989年に初めてなされたサーハン・サーハンの短いインタビューシーンも見ることができます。
　「私はどんな陰謀の一部にも絶対になってなかった。私は心からあの行動を後悔している。私は若かった、未熟だった」と言ってますね。うーむ、後悔先立たず。

　こっちは、CBSのもの。これにもクラークさんがちょっとだけ登場。（これが噂に聞く、本の販促活動のための過酷なテレビ出演というヤツだろうか。）

　これらを見ると、どうやらクラークさんのRFK理解の鍵は「勇気」ですね。

　これはRFKの長女キャサリンのインタビュー。
　あまりにも彼女が面変わりしているので、びっくりしました。

　投稿者がご親切にもトランスクリプトをつけていました。キャサリンの発言部分だけ、下にコピー。

MY FATHER SAID GET INVOLVED IN POLITICS BECAUSE WE'VE GOT HUGE ISSUES TO RESOLVE. WE'VE GOT A TERRIBLE WAR. WE'VE GOT ISSUES OF DISPARITIES IN WEALTH WHERE THE RICH ARE GETTING RICHER AND THE MIDDLE CLASS IS SUFFERING. THESE ARE POLICY QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT KIND OF COUNTRY WE ARE. ARE WE GOING TO LISTEN?

AS THE OLDEST OF THE KENNEDY GRANDCHILDREN YOU HAVE A SPECIAL RESPONSIBILITY. BE KIND TO OTHERS AND WORK FOR YOUR COUNTRY. LOVE DADDY. AND NOW IF YOU THINK ABOUT THAT AND I'VE BEEN WITH MANY MANY VICTIMS OF CRIME, LOVE AND COMPASSION AND WORKING FOR THE COUNTRY ARE NOT THE FIRST REACTION. PEOPLE ARE OFTEN BITTER AND ANGRY AND REVENGEFUL AND MAD AT THE WORLD AND WHAT HE WAS PASSING ON TO ME WAS A SENSE OF WE HAVE TO LOOK FORWARD. WE HAVE TO BE COMPASSIONATE TOWARD OTHERS AND WE HAVE TO HAVE A SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY.

I REMEMBER AS A LITTLE GIRL WATCHING HIM PRACTICE OVER AND OVER IN FRONT OF THE MIRROR AND HE WAS TREMBLING. I MEAN IT WASN'T EASY. WHEN HE RAN FOR SENATE IN 1964 IT WAS HARD FOR HIM SOMETIMES TO GET OUT HIS SENTENCES AND TO TALK ABOUT WHAT HE WANTED. NOW HE DEFINITELY GOT BETTER. BUT IT WASN'T EASY FOR HIM TO DO.

THE MORE PEOPLE WHO HAVE POWER, THE MORE LIKELY IT IS THAT OUR POLITICS WOULD REFLECT THE COMMON GOOD, NOT JUST THE PRIVATE INTEREST OF THE FEW WHO GET ELECTED.
