Description

Governor Brown, who had succeeded Governor Reagan in 1974, would be up for

re-election in 1978, and our guests are two of those aiming to unseat him. Both are more or less conservative; each is popular in his region. In the event, it was Evelle J. Younger who got the nod and was decisively defeated; but for now both would-be challengers concentrate on the problems of the state under Governor Moonbeam. KM: "I think ... you're going to find that Jerry Brown is extremely vulnerable with the public whether it be the issue of the economy and jobs and the direction the state is going to go economically, whether it be the appointments that he makes to boards and commissions and regulatory bodies ... or just the idea that the people are tired of governing by a mystique rather than by an efficient administration." ... WFB: "If Governor Brown were to rejoin a seminary tomorrow, what would history mark as his primary contribution . . . ?" PW: "Bill, you must be reading my mind. As a matter of fact, I have been telling people that really I am moved by a charitable impulse and that is to restore Jerry Brown to that private contemplative life that he so prizes."
