Description
One week after the November 1966 election in California, this panel of journalists discusses the issues and results of the statewide election, in which all but one of the incumbent constitutional officers were voted out of office. The role of television in the election is a frequent discussion item. The panelists are introduced as (1) Earl C. "Squire" Behrens, veteran political writer and political editor, San Francisco Chronicle; (2) De Van L. Shumway, Sacramento News Bureau manager and political correspondent for United Press-International; (3) Nancy Clark, member of the KPIX-TV "The Big News" reproting team and prominent television news commentator; (4) Jack McDowell, noted political observer and political editor, San Francisco Examiner; and (5) Richard C. Bergholz, syndicated columnist and political editor, Los Angeles Times. The panelists are introduced by the moderator, A. Ruric Todd. This is the final program in the "Politics '66" series. Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) sponsored this nonpartisan series of political forums for the thousands of PG&E employees in northern and central California. The series featured candidates for statewide office in California and discussions of leading issues, and was produced in cooperation with the Pacific Service Employees Association, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (Local 1245), and the Engineers and Scientists of California.Additional Descriptive Notes: Sequence: slates begin (00:38), scenes of audience and panelists take their seats on stage (01:44), Todd begins introductions of panelists (03:08), Todd asks first question about similarities to the election of 1958, when most incumbents were also swept out of office (11:45), the first panelist, Behrens, speaks (12:10), first question from the audience (27:34), Todd thanks the panelists and cosponsors (52:32), audience applauds and begins to exit (53:26), end credits (53:43).
