When you think of something positive of President John F. Kennedy -- the first thought that springs to mind is the handling of the Cuban Missile Crisis. When you think of Dr. Martin Luther King, one is reminded of his efforts to get Civil Rights legislation enacted. Both, alas, died long before their time.
When you think of Robert Kennedy --what's the first thing that springs to mind? Sure he was killed --before his time -- but what's his standout issue from his term as Attorney General or as the Senator from New York? (Well he was the inspiration for a federal anti-nepotism law that would prevent future Presidents from selecting their siblings for Cabinet posts.)
This quiz comes in light of the name change of the descriptive Triborough Bridge that connects the boroughs of Manhattan, Queens, and the Bronx in New York to the less informative Robert Kennedy Bridge.
Then again, maybe he did great things, but nothing quickly springs to mind. Nothing other, unfortunately, than his assassination.
