40th anniversary and no documentaries about RFK?
At least I haven't found any after checking the History Channel and History Channel International. Anyone know of any RFK documentaries on tonight?

1. The 40th anniversary is actually on Friday, did you check then?
My wife thought it was today too. I checked, RFK was actually shot on the 5th and died on the 6th.

2. I guess you're right - it was after midnight in CA
I knew he died on the 6th. DAMN IT. My heart still breaks for him. I was only 5 when he was killed - I turned 6 that August, and I really have no memories of him, sadly.

4. I turned 10 that August and I only have vague memories of it happening.
I moved from Connecticut to Florida that year and it was very traumatic at that age. I don't remember much other than that.

5. He's on the cover of a magazine, but I can't remember which one.
I saw it at the grocery store this evening.

The 40th anniversary does seem to be flying under the radar, though.

6. It was Vanity Fair
Great article-revealing that Ethel was very much in supporting his run, and Teddy was very much against it.
