He gained national attention as the chief counsel of the Senate Labor Rackets Committee from 1957 to 1959, where he publicly challenged Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa over the corrupt practices of the union, and published The Enemy Within, a book about corruption in organized labor.A prominent member of the Kennedy family, Bobby was the campaign manager for his brother John in the 1960 presidential election and was appointed Attorney General during his presidential administration.

#Quote
1The free way of life proposes ends, but it does not prescribe means.
2Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves. What is equally true is that every community gets the kind of law enforcement it insists on.
3Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.
4Progress is a nice word. But change is its motivator. And change has its enemies.
5There are those who look at things the way they are, and ask why... I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?
6Few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total; of all those acts will be written the history of this generation.
7But suppose God is black? What if we go to Heaven and we, all our lives, have treated the Negro as an inferior, and God is there, and we look up and He is not white? What then is our response?
8Let us dedicate ourselves to what the Greeks wrote so many years ago: to tame the savageness of man and make gentle the life of this world.
9I thought they'd get one of us, but Jack, after all he's been through, never worried about it I thought it would be me.
10Now I can go back to being ruthless again.
11I was the seventh of nine children. When you come from that far down you have to struggle to survive.
12If any man claims the Negro should be content... let him say he would willingly change the color of his skin and go to live in the Negro section of a large city. Then and only then has he a right to such a claim.
13Whenever men take the law into their own hands, the loser is the law. And when the law loses, freedom languishes.
14One-fifth of the people are against everything all the time.
15I believe that, as long as there is plenty, poverty is evil.
16What is objectionable, what is dangerous about extremists, is not that they are extreme, but that they are intolerant. The evil is not what they say about their cause, but what they say about their opponents.
17It is not enough to understand, or to see clearly. The future will be shaped in the arena of human activity, by those willing to commit their minds and their bodies to the task.
18All of us might wish at times that we lived in a more tranquil world, but we don't. And if our times are difficult and perplexing, so are they challenging and filled with opportunity.
19People say I am ruthless. I am not ruthless. And if I find the man who is calling me ruthless, I shall destroy him.
20Ultimately, America's answer to the intolerant man is diversity, the very diversity which our heritage of religious freedom has inspired.
21Tragedy is a tool for the living to gain wisdom, not a guide by which to live.
22I've seen despair and hopelessness, and I've seen children who are starving to death in the United States. I mean, not 'I read about children who are starving to death in the United States', but I've seen children who are starving to death in the United States. And, as the reports have said, they will never recover mentally after the age of four.
23I'm tired of chasing people.
#Fact
1He was of Irish descent.
2Wife Ethel was three months pregnant with their daughter Rory Kennedy when he was assassinated.
3When he was a senator he hired Jeff Greenfield as a speechwriter, who stayed until Kennedy was assassinated.
4The R.I.C.O. (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) act of 1970, which has been used to bring about widespread indictments against Organized Crime and the Federal Witness Protection Program is said to have been the brainchild of Robert F. Kennedy when he was the Attorney General.
5Kennedy assassin Sirhan Sirhan is currently awaiting execution on Death Row at San Quentin Prison near San Francisco.
6The hotel in which he was shot, the Los Angeles Ambassador, has since been torn down.
7In 1965, still mourning his brother John's death, he journeyed to Canada to climb Mount Kennedy (on the Alasken-Canadian border) which had been named in his brother's honor. Breaking away from the team of experienced mountain climbers, Kennedy made it to the summit making him the first man ever to reach the top.
8Son of Joseph P. Kennedy and Rose Kennedy.
9Grandson of Congressman John F. Fitzgerald.
10Was portrayed by Steven Culp in Thirteen Days (2000), Linus Roache in RFK (2002), Dave Fraunces in Bobby (2006), and Tim Ransom in A Woman Named Jackie (1991).
11Interred at Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, Virginia, about 100 yards to the left of his brother's grave.
12A wax replica of his head from the defunct Hollywood Wax Museum was auctioned off for a winning bid of $200 during a live auction on eBay on May 11, 2006.
13He once got into a contest with Richard Burton, who greatly admired him, in which they tried to outdo the other by quoting William Shakespeare's sonnets. Both were word-perfect, and Burton was forced to "win" the contest by quoting one of the sonnets backwards, a feat Bobby could not match.
14Became close to actor Warren Beatty during his 1968 campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination. Beatty's relationship with Robert was closer than the one he had with John F. Kennedy while JFK was president. Beatty was particularly valuable in firing up volunteers for such mundane activities as door-to-door canvassing. Bobby was impressed by Beatty's thorough understanding of the issues. After Bobby's assassination in Beatty's hometown of Los Angeles, Beatty became a vocal gun control advocate.
15Died the same day as Randolph Churchill, the only son of Winston Churchill.
16When Kennedy was assassinated at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles on June 5, 1968, it was his friend John Frankenheimer who had personally driven him there that day
17Family friend Andy Williams sang the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" at his funeral
18Was a close friend of Robert Vaughn.
19In stark contrast to his older brother John F. Kennedy's poor health, Robert was a very strong and physically active man who enjoyed hiking and kayaking, among other outdoor activities.
20He harbored strong disdain for Lyndon Johnson, his older brother's vice president [who ultimately took over as president after John's death] and the feeling was mutual.
