Correspondent Jim Axelrod talks with Hamill, and with Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, the eldest daughter of RFK; children’s activist Marian Wright Edelman; and aide Peter Edelman about Kennedy’s fight to address divisions in America, and about the future that might have been.

ART: Jean Dubuffet

Correspondent Serna Altschul tours an exhibition of his collages at New York’s Pace Gallery which reflect a time of deep philosophical exploration towards the end of the artist’s life.
