Brown's first move was to freeze hiring of new state employees (12,000 a year) except in emergencies. He said he would soon propose ways to save another $300 million. He suggested that any such saving be added to the surplus in state revenues, expected to amount to $5.3 billion by the end of the fiscal year, and applied to help fill the property-tax void.

As for Watergate, Reston contends that the ruling would probably have enabled agents of the Nixon Administration, conceivably pursuing evidence of the breakin, to march into the Post's offices "in a position to intimidate everybody in command." Whether such a move would have stopped pursuit of the matter is doubtful, but Reston has a point about how a Deep Throat might be intimidated: "If the police can demand access to newspaper files, under court orders which the Government can easily demand, then anybody who differs with the Government will hesitate...
