A propos de cet article

Format is 9.75 inches by 12.5 inches. Illustrated endpapers. [8], 201, [15] pages. Illustrations (More than 250 photographs). DJ worn, torn, chipped in plastic sleeve. Richard Jay Schaap (September 27, 1934 - December 21, 2001) was an American sportswriter, broadcaster, and author. Schaap began work as assistant sports editor of Newsweek. In 1964, he began a thrice-weekly column concerning current events. He became editor of SPORT magazine in 1973. He earned five Emmy Awards, for profiles of Sid Caesar and Tom Waddell, two for reporting, and for writing. In 1988 he began hosting The Sports Reporters on ESPN cable television. He also hosted Schaap One on One on ESPN Classic and a syndicated ESPN Radio program called The Sporting Life with Dick Schaap. He also occasionally served as a substitute anchor for ABC's newscast, World News Now. He co-authored the 1968 best-seller Instant Replay with Jerry Kramer of the Green Bay Packers, and I Can't Wait Until Tomorrow. 'Cause I Get Better-Looking Every Day, the 1969 autobiography of Joe Namath. Other books included a biography of Robert F. Kennedy; .44 (with Jimmy Breslin), a fictionalized account of the hunt for Son of Sam killer David Berkowitz; Turned On, about upper middle-class drug abuse; An Illustrated History of the Olympics, a history of the modern Olympic Games; The Perfect Jump, on the world record-breaking long jump by Bob Beamon in the 1968 Summer Olympics; My Aces, My Faults with Nick Bollettieri; Steinbrenner!; and Bo Knows Bo with Bo Jackson. In R. F. K., author Dick Schaap, former city editor of the New York Hearld Tribune and syndicated columnist, captures and balances the extreme views of Robert Kennedy, analyses the fascination he evokes and the furor he creates, and weighs his status and his future. R. F. K. cuts to the core of Robert Kennedy, and in taut, dramatic prose unmarred by adulation or by enmity, exposes both his strengths and his weaknesses. Robert Francis Kennedy (November 20, 1925 - June 6, 1968), sometimes referred to by the initials RFK and occasionally Bobby, was an American politician and lawyer who served as the 64th United States Attorney General from January 1961 to September 1964, and as a U.S. Senator from New York from January 1965 until his assassination in June 1968. He was, like his brothers John and Edward, a prominent member of the Democratic Party and has come to be viewed by some historians as an icon of modern American liberalism. Kennedy was born into a wealthy, political family in Brookline, Massachusetts. After serving in the U. S. Naval Reserve from 1944 to 1946, Kennedy returned to his studies at Harvard University, graduating in 1948. He received his law degree from the University of Virginia, and was admitted to the Massachusetts bar in 1951. He began his career as a correspondent for The Boston Post and as a lawyer at the Justice Department, but later resigned to manage his brother John's successful campaign for the U.S. Senate in 1952. The following year, he worked as an assistant counsel to the Senate committee chaired by Senator Joseph McCarthy. 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. Kennedy resigned from the committee to conduct his brother's campaign in the 1960 presidential election. He was appointed United States Attorney General after the successful election and served as his brother's closest advisor until his 1963 assassination. His tenure is best known for its advocacy for the civil rights movement, the fight against organized crime and the Mafia, and involvement in U.S. foreign policy related to Cuba.…
