Photograph article dated September 21, 1962 partially reads "Richard Nixon not only is thoroughly acquainted with state issues, he knows more about the state administration than does Gov. Edmund G. Brown. That's the aggressive, and admittedly prejudiced, view of one of Nixon's leading California tutors, GOP State Central Committee chairman Caspar W. Weinberger."
