It starts with "Pilgrimage to a Mountain" about Robert Kennedy's expedition to climb Mount Kennedy in honor of his late brother, President John F. Kennedy. The climb is depicted as a challenging and emotional journey, with Robert Kennedy carrying mementos to place at the summit. Mount Kennedy is a peak in the Saint Elias Mountains within Kluane National Park, in Yukon, Canada. Its first ascent was in 1965 by Robert F. Kennedy, with a party of experienced mountaineers sponsored by the National Geographic Society and led by Jim Whittaker. Upon reaching the peak of the summit, Kennedy left some of his brother's PT-boat tie clips, a copy of his brother's 1961 inaugural address, and a John F. Kennedy medallion. The second part, "Come to the Fair" (5:50) shows the 1964 New York World's Fair, highlighting its exhibits that showcase the past, present, and future. The fair is portrayed as a global event that attracts millions of visitors, offering a wide range of experiences and technological marvels. • 0:30: Introduction of the Screen News Digest as a public service presented by the evening and Sunday Bulletin in Philadelphia. • 1:16: Description of Mount Kennedy, formerly East Hubbard, in the Yukon Territory, Canada. • 1:33: Robert Kennedy's mission to climb Mount Kennedy in honor of John F.
