Frank Mankiewicz remembers Lyn Nofziger

Click on the title above for a link to a Washington Post column in which Democratic strategist, Frank Mankiewicz ,remembers Lyn Nofziger, Reagan's press secretary who died a few days ago. The best part of the column is when he talks about a debate between then, Senator Robert Kennedy and then, California Governor Ronald Reagan which Mankiewicz and Nofzinger organized on CBS in 1967. Robert Kennedy before the debate though he would destroy Reagan the "B" movie actor. I watched that debate back in 1967 on TV in Coos Bay Oregon and thought Reagan clearly won the debate. Now 39 years later it is nice to know that the Kennedy people agreed with my assessment. After that debate every time someone told me Reagan was a "light weight" I would give the example of that debate to disprove their slander.
