My Brother Became President

When Robert Kennedy was Attorney General he was reported to greet new young lawyers entering the Department with the following message: "This may appear to be a large organization, but when you do something well, I will hear about it and it will go on your record. I want you to recall that I was recently a lowly worker in the Justice Department myself, but that I now serve as Attorney General, due to perseverance, long hours, hard work, and the fact that my brother became President of the United States…not necessarily in that order.
