  I didn't like him when he was governor of CA when he fired Angela Davis from her teaching profession at UCLA, Ultimately involved with puting her on the on the FBI's Top 10 Most Wanted Criminals list, sparking one of the most intensive manhunts in recent American history.

  I liked him when he signed into law MLK's birthday in 1983 as a federal holiday. Although it took over 15 years to pass, and he signed it under intense political pressure. Other than that he wasn't much for Civil Rights.

  So like the BORG, he was good for some things - LL :)

  As a dub at the time, AND going thru a divorce, I hardly paid attention. But, according to what I read now, he was a prototype of Pres. Bush and not in a good way.
