Abstract

New Hope of the Far Right
Marine, Gene | January 27, 1964 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information on Maxwell L. Rafferty, California's new superintendent of Public Instruction. Elected in November, 1962, on a vague but forcefully stated platform shouting for "basic education," Rafferty is obviously significant to those who are primarily concerned with education. He was chosen in the most blatantly partisan contest ever waged for the nominally nonpartisan office and has emerged as a dynamic, popular vote-getter in a state where the rest of the Republican leadership is decimated. But most important is the fact that Rafferty's candidacy and election have demonstrated more clearly than ever the close connection between California's "respectable" and "radical" Right.
