One of the weakness of the documentary on the ‘65 mayoral races is that they fail to mention that the lesson the Buckleys learned in that race (i.e., the appeal of the conservative message to working class and middle class Catholics) laid the groundwork for Jim Buckley’s senatorial win in 1970.
Speaking of Jim Buckley, his brief appearance in doc in the context of Watergate was a reminder of the paradox of brothers, born only a couple years apart and raised together, having such wildly divergent accents (i.e., Bill 10/10 on New England preppy voice scale, with Jim maybe 2/10.)
I understand Henry Kissinger had a brother — no thick German accent — he said he was the one who listened.
