The New York Post reports that Salon founder David Talbot has cinched a deal to write a book about slain Senator Robert F. Kennedy. Talbot tells the Post, “I do have plans to write a book next year, but I won’t be leaving Salon… Can’t give you any details at this point on the book, since my publisher has me muzzled.”
The story offers some background on Talbot’s interest:
Talbot, now in his early 50s, had been a campaign volunteer although he was not old enough to vote in Kennedy’s California primary run during the 1968 Democratic presidential campaign.
Kennedy’s assassination in a Los Angeles hotel kitchen on the night he won the state’s primary in June 1968 had left an indelible mark on the young Talbot.
