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).
