Those of us who view this prospect with trepidation can take comfort in the fact that Los Vegas bettors, who are not in business to lose money, will not take any bets on Governor Brown. Though he is lagging behind in the polls (as he was against Know-land in 1958 and Nixon in 1962), they consider him a sure winner. It is a pleasure to be able to report at least one event of heart...
