Mata Hari was executed for being a spy by a French firing squad on Oct. 15, 1917.

She refused a blindfold and blew a kiss to the men taking her life.

Presidential Candidate, Senator John F. Kennedy, talking to his brother and campaign manager, Robert F. Kennedy, in a hotel room in Los Angeles during the Democratic National Convention in July 1960

Taken by John Loengard, this photo shows a moment between the two brothers where John was telling Robert about his pick for VP.

Loengard explains:

I was doing a story on Bobby Kennedy. The morning after Jack was nominated, we went up to his room. The brothers talked very quietly, and Jack told Bobby he wasn’t going to choose [labor union leader] Walter Reuther for Vice President. . . . I waited outside for Bobby to come out. When he did, he was furious. We were walking back down the stairs, and Bobby was hitting his hand like this, saying ‘Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t.’ You know, he really hated [Lyndon] Johnson.
