Days of civil unrest in the U.S. over the death of George Floyd. We have a conversion. We talk RFK in '68, Edgar Allen Poe, Piketty's examination of economic inequality, James Baldwin, James Fenimore Copper, the political and spiritual path of Simone Weil and why Roman always returns to the humor of George Carlin. Please note: video of RFK speaking in Indianapolis the night MLK was killed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2kWIa8wSC0
