A Bridge to Everywhere

"Mr. Paterson, who signed the bill renaming the bridge over the summer, called the renaming 'a fitting tribute to the man and his legacy.' He added, 'Robert F. Kennedy was a champion of social justice and human rights and his spirit is kept alive by his family’s continued commitment to those causes.'
"Mr. Bloomberg cited Robert Caro, Moses’s biographer, and Jack Newfield, the journalist, and mentioned that Tony Bennett, the singer, helped entertain the gathering when Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia dedicated the Triborough Bridge in 1936."
