...Yorker, I am perfectly happy to have the opportunity to vote for Robert Kennedy as a U.S. Senator from New York. Some people forget that the Senate was meant, through longer tenure and fewer members, to serve as a less provincial legislative body than the House of Representatives.

One of the most moving chapters of his long book is devoted to the late Frank Murphy, Roosevelt's Attorney General and later a Supreme Court Justice, whom liberals and conservatives alike dismissed as a hopeless ideologue. In the starry-eyed pursuit of his principles, Murphy occasionally forgot about the real world he was living in. While admitting that Murphy was a "ritualistic liberal...
