Now Colonel, let us take heart from the words of Shakespeare when he has Marc Anthony speak these words at the funeral of Julius Ceasar:

No, I'm not referring to the well-known line,

The evil men do lives after them, the good is oft interred with their bones.

But rather to that brief and telling passage at the end of Marc Anthony's speech:

O judgement! thou art fled to brutish beasts, and men have lost their reason...

History will judge Mr. Kennedy when men have recovered their reason and that judgement will transcend the moment of their emotional outpourings.
