...candidacy of Robert Kennedy is an effrontery to thinking Americans. But it is also much, much more than this. It is a menace to us and to the entire world, free and chained alike. Consumed by an inner hunger, this grotesque shadow of his dedicated and martyred brother aspires to our highest office, the earth's most awesome responsibility.

...What I'm afraid of is that the whites will regard this as an enormous improvement in race relations," he said. This would be a false interpretation, he said, because the riots "are only the outward expression of continuing inner emotions...
