Art Barker & the Beginning of the SEED
Johnny G:
Segretti wrote it as part of a smear campaign against Muskie - Paul Morrison was simply the name he signed to it - Morrisons was supposedly involved and present when the "remarks" were made. We can't know for sure if he was involved in the seed - Remember, Art wouldn't let anyone know who was there, so unless he was court ordered there would be no way to verify the existence of a Paul Morrison involved at the seed during the time in question.
But the fact is, Segretti wrote it as ppart of Nixons dirty tricks group

Yep, I don't think they ever found "Mr. Paul Morrison of Deerfield Beach, Florida." From what I've read, there's some question as to whether such a person even exists!

What *I'd* really like to know is... what did you mean by this phrase:
"wrote it as a member of the Seed"[/list]
Here's the full post, to jog yer memory:
--- Quote from: "Johnny G" ---Don Segretti wrote the Canook letter. He was part of the Comittee to re-elect the president (CREEP). wrote it as a member of the Seed, can't verify if Art went to Maine or any of that, but that was the story. Segretti took credit for the letter as part of the whole Watergate business.

Sorry If I'm overly dense 'bout something that should be obvious...
Ursus:
--- Quote from: "jgar" ---The reporters name who did the story on the Seed was Fred Francis. I'm sure there is an old copy his archive somewhere. He was a national reporter.
--- End quote ---
Did Muskie visit the Seed because of Francis' story "Seed of Hope?" Or was his visit just another one of those political photo op events, while he happened to be in Florida for other reasons? Was Muskie thought to be more focused on the "plight of our youth" than your average politician?

Ursus,
Segretti was impersonating a member of the seed - didn't mean to imply he was there, poor choice of words on my part.
Seems like he would be a fun guy to have a few beers with - some good stories anyway!
