...Fountainhead. "I am not unique as a President in having worked with a Congress controlled by the opposition party," said he with a smile as he neared the end of his message, "except that no other President ever did it for quite so long."

If the Democratic Convention should select virtually anybody except Roman Catholic Jack Kennedy, then Catholic Californian Brown, with his 81 convention blue chips, might become attractive as the second man on the ticket. And if any of the presidential candidates had ideas of taking those 81 votes away from him in California's June primary, Favorite Son Pat Brown issued a fair warning: "Then I might to some extent change my position . . .
