David's reference is from "The Great Society Subway" in which Schrag claims Kennedy is the first Metropolitan president because he was the first to grow up riding a rail transit system, living in a city etc... So that he had a natural inclination to, and understanding of, urban issues. If you look at the way RFK was able to understand the plight of urban blacks a that time and speak in a way that resonated with them - despite his privileged white upbringing - it seems to carry some weight.
