Frank Mankiewicz, a writer and Democratic political strategist who was Senator Robert F. Kennedy’s press secretary, directed Senator George S. McGovern’s losing 1972 presidential campaign and for six years was the president of National Public Radio, died Thursday at a hospital in Washington. He was 90.
The cause was heart failure, said Adam Clymer, a former New York Times reporter who is the spokesman for the family. Mr. Mankiewicz had been in the hospital’s intensive care unit for more than three weeks receiving treatment for heart and lung problems, Mr. Clymer said.
A scion of Hollywood, the son of Herman J. Mankiewicz, who wrote “Citizen Kane,” and the nephew of Joseph L. Mankiewicz, who directed “All About Eve,” he grew up with an Algonquin West round table in his Beverly Hills household, regaled by movie stars, famous writers and comedians like the Marx Brothers.

Didn’t know he ran NPR. Shocker. Anyway, RIP.
I think I need to get me a family spokesman. Must be all the rage now.
Bush said to Cheney, “There’s Adam Clymer, major-league @#$hole from the New York Times.” Cheney responded, “Oh yeah, he is, big time.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Clymer
I didn’t even know it was called The Robert F Kennedy Bridge.
.
ditto RFK Stadium in Washington, DC.
We can express great sadness that RFK was assassinated, while still questioning his impact on history, and whether he deserves to have public places named in his honor, in my opinion. One doesn’t exclude the other.
His most memorable statement.
“He did not have sex with that woman, Miss Monroe.”
I think they only passed the law within the last year or two.Coming into NYC via I-95 one sees many signs for the bridge...some say "RFK Bridge" and others (the older ones) still say "Triboro Bridge" (New Yorkers can't even spell "borough").
Could have been worse. Who'd want to drive over the Ted Kennedy Bridge?
Although I've lived within an hour of Chappaquiddick since Mary Jo met her slow and painful death I never made it down there to see an ugly bit of history.I've read that they tore it down years ago so it's an opportunity missed.
Trying to give a shi’ite about a dead Democrat...really trying......
