According to multiple sources, when asked what made his brother so different, Robert usually said "well, he just stayed with mother TOO long."
Is there a trend here? Robert, by all accounts, is a stand-up guy, a straight arrow and a real gentleman. His little brother was an assassin.
I was watching the movie "RFK Must Die" the other night, and it contains an interview with Sirhan Sirhan's big brother. He came across as a thoroughly likeable, level-headed family man. His little brother was an assassin.
I have to admit that I don't know a whole lot about Edwin Booth, except that he was a Unionist, saved the life of Robert Lincoln on a railway platform a short time before the assassination of father Abraham, and founded the Players' Club. His little brother was, of course, an assassin.
Just sayin'
