Muskie Broadcast Backed by Democratic Backers
Sen George McGovern and other Democrats debated a 15 minute unpaid TV spell for Muskie to counter Nixon. Geoffrey Cowan helped organize funds and allies including Lawrence O'Brien and W Averell Harriman to support a national unity committee backing Muskie amid 1968 echoes and San Jose incident fallout. Contributions reached about 50000 dollars through Arnold Picker and United Artists.
