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

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.
