...Pat Roberts, of nearby Kansas, was getting the same earful from voters hit by the drought there. "I just finished up a 31-county listening tour where I made 50 stops," Roberts says. "The number one item of concern was: We're burning up and we need disaster assistance. But the second item of concern was: Are we going to invade Iraq?"

Robert, RFK muses, feared that he "caused" his brother's murder by antagonizing the Mob or the Cubans, even that he subconsciously wished for his brother's death. (All this is hashed out in overwrought "debates"--which take place in R.F.K.'s head--between Roache and Martin Donovan as the ghost of J.F.K.) Did Robert want the presidency for himself? For his family? The standard answer, given here, is that, moved by Vietnam and urban unrest, he grew to want it for all of us. But his transformation feels mechanical, dictated...
