A few Super Tuesday night notes… 1. It has been fifty years since the first California primary I can remember. 1974 was a midterm year, and the most important race was to determine who would succeed Ronald Reagan as our governor. Mama supported William Matson Roth; a dignified old school liberal. We listened on our battered old Zenith radio (we would not have a television until 1978) as the results came in. Mr. Roth finished fourth in the Democratic primary, well behind a triumphant Jerry Brown.
