Politician reviews RFK campaign
California politician Jesse Unruh evaluated the campaign of the presidential candidate whom he endorses—Sen. Robert F. Kennedy—and outlined his belief that state government "has a role to play in this country."
Unruh, smartly dressed and quick of wit, has been Speaker of the California State Assembly since 1961, where he gained himself the reputation of being the most powerful state legislative leader in the United States.
"I'm not one of those who think Washington is a greater enemy than Peking, but the state government has got to compete with the federal government," he said.
The federal government has "abandoned hope" that the state governments will attempt to cope with the problems of the inner city, and this trend will continue unless there is "some imaginative action on the part of the states," 46-year-old Nnruh said.
He cited as a good example of

this "imaginative action" the "massive legislation" under consideration in California for the establishment of an agency for job training, rehabilitation and placement of workers.
A man who admits that he "wields more power as speaker than 45 out of the 50 state governors," owes most of this to what has been described as his "driving ambition."
This master politician has accomplished the revamping of the California State Legislature; through his efforts, this branch of the government was given a good staffing system, "decision-making tools," and the 3 to 1 vote of the people of California in 1966 to give the assembly a "free hand in legislative sessions."
"It is difficult to raise money—the McCarthy people sucked up most of the ideological money. The fat cats won't give any to anyone, and many people think the Kennedy's don't need any money, anyway," he laughed.
He shot-down any one-sided views of Kennedy's appeal to the minority groups of America.
Unruh, who supports Sen. Robert F. Kennedy's campaign in California, said, "To be honest, the campaign was a little flat before the Indiana primary."
"The government has to deal
significantly with the problems of all the people before all the people will support the massive spending it takes to deal with the inner city," he said.
Republicans, for example, were dealt with toughly in August of 1963 when they refused to give Unruh the votes he needed for final approval of the state's new budget. He locked them up, using the parliamentary device of "call of the house," which is designed to round up absentees for a vote. After nearly 24 hours in the Sacramento assembly chamber, the balky GOP legislators ransomed themselves with the needed votes.
It was tactics, such as these, which earned Unruh the tag of "Big Daddy," a name which he abhored and managed to slough off along with the sizeable punch and the fat cigars which had helped gain him his backroom politician image.
When asked what he considered the characteristics of a successful legislative leader, he replied with a point-by-point dissection of the parts of his make-up which have led some to consider him the nation's most brilliant politician.
"You have to have a high degree of competitiveness—be very involved,very flexible. You must be able to take a lot of criticism. You must not be an ideologue," he said.

Most girls stuff is just a "Cover-Up"...
but not Pamprin.
Not all girl's stuff "covers up." Here's one product that does more: PAMPRIN.
PAMPRIN makes a woman look and feel better . . . without relying on "camouflage." PAMPRIN is specifically designed to get at a basic cause of pre-menstrual problems. Problems of temporary water-weight gain. That puffy feeling that can make you feel miserable the week before your period. (It's that extra water-weight causing pressure on tissues that makes for headaches and pre-menstrual tension.)
PAMPRIN does what aspirin doesn't. It alleviates the "bloating." So it gets at the cause of the pain. Instead of just covering it up, PAMPRIN makes a woman feel more like a woman. Every day of the month. So every coed can live life a little bit better. Now that PAMPRIN is going to college.
PAMPRIN. It's definitely girl's stuff.
