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.

Atthen as now was a star the times, and as a result, they gave tremendous attention to charter reform. I will always believe charter reform succeeded because of what jim newton did. 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
