...foibles, Pat Brown has never yet been one to underrate an opponent or to miss the slightest eddy in the political current. For one thing, Knowland, tied closely to his Senate duties until last month, is now stumping California from border to border and just such stumping won him his senatorial seat over big-name Democrat Will Rogers Jr. in 1946. Knowland lacks Pat Brown's charm, but he knows what he thinks and says what he knows (TIME, Jan. 14, 1957)-and just such a reputation won him the senatorial nomination on both tickets in 1952.

Far from being a doctrinaire ax grinder, he bends over backward to present objective...
...friends and a maid who had once worked for the family told newsmen that they could testify to the truth of Herb's claims. Herb, they said, had told them well in advance of his appearances on the show just which questions he would answer, which he would miss.
