Gus Weill
Gus Weill, Sr. (born March 12, 1933), is an American author living in New York City who is a former public relations specialist originally from Lafayette, Louisiana.
==Background==
Weill graduated in 1955 from Louisiana State University in the state capital of Baton Rouge and then completed United States Army Counter Intelligence School. He was a first lieutenant in the Counter Intelligence Corps in Frankfurt, Germany, until his military discharge in 1957.〔
In 1958, Weill established the first advertising/public relations firm in Baton Rouge. In 1963, he was introduced to Louisiana Public Service Commissioner John McKeithen of Columbia by Judge Edmund Reggie of Crowley, Louisiana, and soon took over the management of McKeithen's successful gubernatorial campaign. From 1964 to 1968, he served as executive secretary to the governor in McKeithen's first term. Considered the "father of modern political public relations in Louisiana," Weill also handled campaigns for three other Louisiana governors, McKeithen's predecessor and successor, Jimmie Davis and Edwin Washington Edwards, and Edwards' successor and second predecessor, David C. Treen. He trained the Democratic strategist James Carville, a mastermind of the election in 1992 of Bill Clinton, then the governor of Arkansas, as U.S. president.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About Gus Weill )〕 He also groomed other public relations specialists, who became his competitors, such as Raymond Strother, manager of the Gary Hart presidential campaign, and Roy Fletcher, affiliated with Patrick J. Buchanan's insurgent Republican campaigns.〔 Weill managed some 350 campaigns. He also promoted the advantages of the Louisiana Superdome domed stadium in New Orleans.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Oral Histories: Gus Weill )〕 Weill convinced McKeithen to implement the state agency, the Council for the Development of French in Louisiana, or CODOFIL, an idea originally proposed by U.S. Representative James Domengeaux of Lafayette.〔
