Today on The Neil Haley Show, The Total Tutor Neil Haley and Sara Bella will interview Author and Writer David Margolick. We will discuss his latest Washington Post article.
In The Washington Post, David Margolick writes about the flight that carried Robert Kennedy’s body from Los Angeles to New York City 50 years ago of which little information has ever been preserved. That day America’s three most famous widows – Ethel Kennedy, Jacqueline Kennedy and Coretta Scott King – shared a flight over their grieving, wounded, troubled country. What was witnessed that day appears to be the only time throughout the aftermath of Kennedy’s death when the three women actually talked to one another. What they said can only be surmised: none of them wrote about it afterward. Nor did any photographer preserve the moment; there were none aboard the plane. Furthermore only three reporters were aboard that day, and they had been invited as friends, not chroniclers. Only one reporter abroad that flight, Sander Vanocur of NBC News, described what he had seen.
David Margolick is a longtime contributing editor at Vanity Fair, where he writes about culture, the media, and politics. He served as national legal affairs editor at The New York Times, where he wrote the weekly At the Bar column for seven years. He is the author most recently of Strange Fruit: The Biography of a Song. This is his fourth book. He lives in New York City.
