The son ofLouis Walinsky. Adam is a lawyer who served in the United States Department of Justice and as a speechwriter for Robert F. Kennedy. He had also been the 1970 nominee for New York Attorney General by the Democratic Party. He criti- cized Ira Stoll's efforts toclaim John F. Kennedyas apolitical conservative saying that Kennedy had moved to the Left near the end of his life. The Adam Walinsky Papers focus on his work as a legislative assistant to Senator Robert F. Kennedy from 1965 to 1968. In addition to general legislative matters, Walinsky specialized in foreign affairs and was the main speech writer for the senator. Thematerials in the files reflect these general and specific responsibilities. The bulk of the papers concern public policy issues of the period, and half the materials reflect foreign policy issues (16 boxes) and drafts for speeches (6 boxes). Almost half the foreign policy papers concern Vietnam. The collection contains nearly all of the extant drafts for Robert F. Kennedy's speeches for the period between 1965 and 1968 and the drafts for his 'ToSeek a Newer World. There is also one folder from Walinsky's work with the Department of Justice, 1963-1964; drafts of and correspondence about a manuscript on poverty from 1964; one folder on his work in Senator Kennedy's 1964 campaign; and three folders on me- morial activities for Senator Kennedy.
