In this documentary portrait, RFK is shown greeting supporters from the back of a caboose. The location is at the Portland Train Depot, the departure point for the tour. My camera was placed above and over Robert's shoulder to achieve this dramatic view. It was one of the last Whistle Stop Tours ever made in American Presidential Campaigns. During the tour through Oregon City, Harrisburg, Junction City, Corvallis, Albany and Eugene he spoke out strongly about ending the Vietnam War. Following in the footsteps of his brother, President John F. Kennedy, he renounced the unworkable dogmas that held both Russia and the U.S. in seemingly intractable positions. Robert embraced peaceful coexistence in an era of militarism and like his brother was receptive to a standing down from armed rivalry with Russia. As visionaries the Kennedys stood for ideals that could not only lead to peaceful coexistence but transcend the antagonisms generated by opposing social systems.
