("A governor's education on death row. Governor Pat Brown ...)
"A governor's education on death row. Governor Pat Brown entered office believing the death penalty was a necessary evil and left office believing it was wrong. The issue of life or death was a powerful challenge to his conscience, as it would be to anyone who is forced to make private moral choices in public office."
