RFK was headed to a room beyond the kitchen to give a press
conference. Someone I knew was waiting there to be part of it for a wire service.
That could have been found out by someone waiting. On the videotape of the podium, RFK starts
the other way off after his speech, and one of his staff tells him to turn
around and go toward the kitchen. Evidently RFK may have
thought he was going to another ballroom that could
be accessed from behind the platform. His lone security aide, Bill Barry, was
helping the pregnant Ethel down from the platform and dropped behind the
senator. So he was unprotected except for Thane Eugene Cesar (ahem). The
kitchen was jammed with people. A security nightmare. And someone had
to have planned the press conference and where it was to be held.
