California casualties swoop down dead with more speed and color and frequency than any other state's: Upton Sinclair, Helen Gahagan Douglas, Goodwin Knight, William Knowland, Pierre Salinger, and of course, Richard Nixon in 1962. It was Jerry Brown's father, cheerful stumbly Pat Brown who beat Nixon for the governorship that year, only to lose to Ronald Reagan the next time around. There is no security in California politics-Pat Brown says that he "rubbed his hands in glee" at the thought of running against the "fading, aging actor." Perhaps that is why the young Brown, with...
...Crap!" cries Scheer. "That guy never reads a book. He's a politician. He's...he's..." Silence on the other end of the phone for a moment. "He's Sam Huntington! He's Pat Moynihan!"

Last week, in his maiden appearance, Scranton proved the two alike in at least one respect. By the time a Security Council Middle East debate had ended, the man who was a Nixon troubleshooter in the Middle East in 1968 and put the word evenhanded into the lexicon of U.S. Arab-Israeli diplomacy, had, like Moynihan, provided surprises for everybody, including Secretary of State Henry Kissinger...
