Mack White: Lyndon Johnson had sex with Hearst reporter Cassie Mackin, a young pretty, educated blonde
Hi, Robert! As I wrote on my FB post, she did not actually say she was a mistress; I had to put two and two together. Not difficult, but without an outright admission on her part I would be reluctant to name her ... However, if you'd like a name, I can tell you that NBC reporter Cassie Mackin was a paramour of LBJ's.
This was described in one of the oral histories I transcribed; the interview
was with a male colleague of hers.
This would be on file at the LBJ Library. Unfortunately, after all these years,
I can't remember the name of the interviewee, so it would take some research at
the library to find it. And it might still be classified ... It's great hearing
from you, Robert. I've been following your research and am interested in this
new book you co-authored with Roger Stone. Please stay in touch ... Mack

Yes, anything that moved was fair game for Lyndon ... Cassie Mackin covered
his 1960 campaign, which indicates they went way back, before the tryst during
his presidency (described in the oral history).
