The Emergence of Mankiewicz
Mankiewicz - A forty-seven year old Los Angeles lawyer who was Director of the Peace Corps before he became Bobby Kennedy's press secretary in 1968 - has held various job-titles since the McGovern campaign got underway last year. For a while he was "Press Secretary", then he was called the "Campaign Manager" - but now he appears to feel comfortable with the title of "Political Director". Which hardly matters, because he has become George McGovern's alter ego. There are people filling all the conventional job-slots, but they are essentially front-men. Frank Mankiewicz is to McGovern what John Mitchell is to Nixon - the Man behind the Man.
Two weeks before voting day in New Hampshire, Mankiewicz was telling his friends that he expected McGovern to get 38 percent of the vote. ... When Frank laid this prediction on his friends in the Washington Journalism Establishment, they figured he was merely doing his job - trying to con the press and hopefully drum up a last minute surge for McGovern, the only candidate in '72 presidential race who had any real claim on the residual loyalties of the so-called "Kennedy Machine". ... So Frank Mankiewicz ascended to the Instant-Guru level on the morning of March 8th, when the final New Hampshire tally showed McGovern with 37.5 percent of the Democratic primary vote, and "front-runner" Ed Muskie with only 47 percent.
Remembrance was Frank Mankiewicz,
Town Doctor.
