Robert Kennedy, Attorney General at that time, is two people to the right of Lady Bird in red. It’s noted that after his brother’s assassination 7 months prior, he never recovered and was basically a shell of a person up until his own assassination. His friends and coworkers said they got the feeling that he blamed himself for his brother’s murder but he never articulated why he felt that way.
