It is a tremendous pleasure to introduce a dear friend of mine, jim newton, who is the author of a splendid new biography, justice for all earl warren and the nation he made. Jim is a reporter and bureau chief at the Los Angeles Times. I first became familiar with his writing in the 1990s when he was the lead reporter for the l. A.

A few years ago, he mentioned to me he was planning on taking time off to do a biography of earl warren. I thought it was a great idea, and that i
