They're all attached, for better and for worse, and they want Robert to join...
Unfortunately, it is difficult to hold steadily to such a circumspect view. Farrakhan can enter our dreams, good and bad. Of course, there was another leader of a march on Washington who once spoke of a dream he had. If it had come true, Farrakhan would not be a concern to anyone...
