Mr. Brown is a Democrat who takes the part of the small-businessman and doesn't like bureaucracies, be they governmental or corporate. So far (he had been elected just two years earlier) his policies had been effective and popular. As he explains it, the reason had less to do with ideology than with being administratively serious: "We've got mostly all businessmen and -women in our administration and that's why we are stimulated. I think when we get through we'll set up a model operation of how government ought to be challenged and how it ought to be cost effective."
