Make gentle the life of this world

the long version

Maxwell Taylor Kennedy read through his father Robert F. Kennedy's speeches, letters, personal journal or daybook, and books about RFK in which his father was quoted to assemble this collection of RFK's ideas. Throughout the 1960s, Robert F. Kennedy kept a daybook or journal in which he recorded ideas or quotations from his reading which appealed to him. Son Maxwell has made selections from this journal, and from his father's letters and speeches, and from books about RFK in which his father was quoted, to assemble this collection which presents the mind and vision of RFK and topics such as the act of living, the American spirit, seeking a better world, the future, being a citizen in a civil society, and more.
