From an era when Republicans were sane. Tom McCall is another Oregon Republican of this era.
I did a profile on McCall for a magazine. Spent a week with him. He told me how much he hated "Yes men" around him, unlike most politicians, and in fact he and his Chief of Staff were always arguing. "He thought I was a communist," McCall told me, "and I thought he was a fascist." McCall also said he was the best Chief of Staff he could've had. What a different era!
