MEMORANDUM FOR PETER MICHEL
FROM: PAUL A. LAVRAKAS
SUBJECT: Jim Brown
X hope sobody is operating under the assumption that Jim Brown is
a particularly popular figure in the black community and will, therefore,
be especially valuable is the black vote effort. From what I can figure,
many blacks regard Brown se being arregant and self-centered. Black
women, in particular, are reported to dislihe Brown and recent his
being paired with white wemes in his films (as is his most recent film,
Smothter).
Therefore, it may be counterpreductive to the block vote effort to use
Brown in ade almed at the black community. Brown may be, in fact,
more palatable to whites than to blacks (no is true for people like
Lianci Hampton, and even, to a degree, Sammy Davie).
The above are my own subjective reflections and certainly cannot be
proven in an empirical fashion, Monotheless, I think it is something
worth heeping mind as a potential source of difficulty.
