You know it's the end of an era when the one and only @DanCALmatters says he's letting go of his @JerryBrownGov archive. Luckily for all of us it's going to the state library for good keeping. But first, a few highlights. THREAD ⬇️ 
Walters clip, 1977: "The combined result of those policies has been a rapidly increasing dependence by California on low-sulphur crude oil from Indonesia, an authoritarian military dictatorship whose regime has had a lengthy and close business relationship with the elder Brown."
Excerpt of Brown interview transcript, 1974: "What has characterized government in recent years is a certain amount of banality, at the federal level corruption."
Village Voice clip, 1976
Nightline, 1983. History now shows that Brown was right and Ted Koppel was wrong.
Walters clip, 1978: "Brown's early honeymoon with the Legislature has become a mutually suspicious marriage of convenience."
Not dated, but some time after reporters stopped using typewriters but before they started using computers, this is how Walters filed his copy:
WaPo, 1992: "Never known for his grace or charm on the campaign trail, Brown's also never been known as a ladies man away from it."
And yet... 1992:
Sacramento Bee, 1983: retired school janitor buys Brown's car for $3,600
Have fun with all this, @AlexCVassar! Glad to know it will be with you for safe keeping.
