A saint is someone who has achieved a remote human
possibility. It is impossible to say what that possibility is. I think it has
something to do with the energy of love.
And Robert Vaughn, who was so much more than a suave secret agent. Though that was pretty cool.
A liberal Democrat, Vaughn became passionately opposed to
the Vietnam War while he was making "U.N.C.L.E." and delivered
anti-war speeches at colleges and other venues around the country. He also
debated the war with conservative William F. Buckley on the latter's TV talk
show, "Firing Line."
Vaughn became a friend of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and
campaigned for him during his 1968 run for the presidency. When Kennedy was
assassinated that year, Vaughn was so upset that he moved to England for five
years.
