...WHICH party does he belong to?" The whispered question came from Painter Marion Pike as she arrived for the first sitting with Ronald Reagan. It seemed odd that she should ask, in the midst of the heated California political campaign, but so far as the cover was concerned, the answer really did not matter. In selecting the cover subject in any given campaign situation, TIME'S editors consider party affiliation a more or less incidental matter. The decision depends largely on which candidate has introduced a new and interesting element into the political picture. In the 1966 California gubernatorial...
...knows better than the grass-roots conservationists the value of having a believer in the Governor's chair." One quip had it that the real reason for her trip was "to beautify Pat Brown"-who needs all the help he can get in his race with Republican Ronald Reagan...

Since then, many Democratic voters who supported Los Angeles Mayor Sam Yorty in the Democratic primary have been trickling back to the Brown fold. As a result, the latest California Poll shows that Reagan now holds only a hairsbreadth lead, 46% to 43%. A more direct popularity test came last week when both candidates and the usual panoply of show-biz celebrities rode in a parade commemorating Los Angeles...
