I'm often fascinated by uber-footnotes in history; either in pictures (ie. who's the woman in the picture they always show kneeling over the body at Kent State?) or otherwise (ie Raymond Jones - to quote Wikipedia: The Beatles had recorded the 'My Bonnie' single with Tony Sheridan in Germany...Epstein's version of the story was that a customer—Raymond Jones—walked into the NEMS shop and asked Epstein for the "My Bonnie" single, which made Epstein curious about the group.") Who are these people? Has anyone ever interviewed them? That should be a whole book, interviews with these footnote people. There's millions of 'em.
Who's this guy, the kid who's in the famous RFK assassination photo? Cause it looks like the kid who played the young Henry Hill in Goodfellas. Hmm.

On HBO right now is RFK Last Journey. A photographer on RFK's funeral train took 1000 photographs of the people lining the tracks, and then spoke with some of them on the effect RFK's death had on them.
