...that sense of inevitability also makes it an exhilarating read, for rarely since has a politician of such stature embarked on a campaign so genuinely wedded to the concepts of sacrifice and moral empathy. Clarke's day-to-day account of the period from March 1968, when Kennedy announced his run, to June 5, when he was assassinated, superbly documents R.F.K.'s antiwar, antipoverty, anticomplacency platform...
This electronic hoop you have to jump through was invented in 2000 by a team of programmers at Carnegie Mellon University. Somebody at Yahoo! had gone to them, complaining that criminals were taking advantage of Yahoo!

This should be a no brainer for all high schools...
