I have a still photo of me interviewing Robert Kennedy (two weeks before he was killed) and we are both the same height; five foot four. They carried a Coke soft drink case with him to put behind the podium. Neither Kennedy or I was bothered by being short. It was my questions for a TV news broadcast and his answers that were important. (For the record, he didn't like my questions!)
I met one of the most macho men in the world, the Grand Prix driver Sterling Moss; Sir Sterling is also 5'4." A lot of Top Gun type military pilots are small men as well.
Somehow, this "little guy" fathered three children from a taller woman. Even so, Stephanopoulos is a jerk. HA
Are you sure you aren’t confusing Robert Kennedy with Martin Luther King? Many resources say Kennedy was 5’9” -5’10”. MLK was 5’6”.
