Glenn Close, former New York Gov. Mario Cuomo and actor ViRhames narrate
"Robert F. Kennedy: A Memoir," which focuses on Kennedy's life from 1952, when
he was an idealistic organizer who ran his brother's rst Senate campaign, to his own
race for the presidency in 1968, which ended with his assassination.

1960s, when he dated a woman whose
parents were Holocaust survivors.
"I talked to her parents about what
happened in Poland during the war,
and that became a very important
experience."
Newfield became a very vocal sup-
porter of Israel and Jews; some years
ago he got into a public feud with
another writer at the Village Voice,
where he was then a columnist, whom

fished in June 1993, accused then-
Mayor David Dinkins and the New
York City Police Department of negli-
gence in the handling of rioting in
Brooklyn following the accidental
death of a black child. These articles
are widely credited with leading to the

"I've written a lot about Martin [_\
Luther King Jr., who was pro-Israel,
and about the contrast there is
between his position and that of black
extremists such as James Baldwin who
had some obsession about Jews and
Israel."
But Newfield also has taken on
Jewish subjects, including a scathing
series of articles in the mid-1970s
about a rabbi who owned a series of
nursing homes where residents were
treated poorly. At that time, he was
accused of being a self-hating Jew.
That isn't the case, says
Bobby Kennedy sitting alongside his

motorcade in 1968. "[Kennedy] went
