Robert Kennedy on the campaign trail , 1968. Had he not been assassinated (while leading the polls) and gone on to become president, then who knows what the world would look like today? Robert united several generations of Americans. Nixon–who won essentially by default–was to become the most divisive president up to that time…many consider the double assassination of the Kennedy brothers as a key turning point in modern history…not just for America but for the whole world.
