Doug, normally I disapprove of the practice of pasting political stuff into the forum. It should be enough to provide a hyperlink. But as you misstate what the article contains, I will paste in the following excerpt:

Reagan's car pulled up at the Piedmont home of Republican Assemblyman Don Mulford later that summer, and the candidate was ushered inside for a secret meeting.

             Reagan had easily defeated San Francisco Mayor George Christopher in the June 7 GOP primary and was running all out against Brown.

             But he broke from his intense campaign schedule for a two-hour meeting with Mulford, a longtime critic of Kerr and "special contact" of the San Francisco FBI.

             Mulford had summoned to his home several university officials who despised Kerr and had been secretly feeding the FBI internal university information that, they believed, showed
             Kerr not only had tolerated campus dissent but might be subversive himself.

             Among those at the August meeting were Alex Sherriffs, former vice chancellor at Berkeley; Hardin Jones, assistant director of UC's radiation lab; and John Sparrow, associate
             general counsel to the regents.

             Sherriffs, who had bitterly opposed Kerr's handling of the Free Speech Movement, had steadily supplied the FBI with information from personnel files about students and
             professors involved in campus protests.

             Jones had been a paid FBI informant and had helped the FBI set up a network of campus sources to gather allegations that went into FBI reports about campus demonstrations
             and Kerr. He had told the FBI he was working with the Burns committee "towards removing President Kerr." But Jones' claims about campus communism eventually became so
             exaggerated that the bureau began to doubt his credibility and stopped paying him.

             Sparrow had contacted the FBI at Jones' suggestion after becoming disgusted with Kerr's handling of campus unrest. Sparrow confidentially gave information to the FBI -- as well
             as the Burns committee -- about campus unrest.

             In an interview, Sparrow confirmed the meeting and acknowledged he was engaging in partisan activity against Kerr. He said he took the "extraordinary" actions against a member
             of the board he represented because he was concerned about the "welfare" of the university.

             During their meeting at Mulford's, the three men briefed Reagan about "communist efforts to influence the students" at Berkeley. And they told Reagan that Kerr's removal was
             "vital" to the university's future.

             Afterward, Reagan thanked Mulford for "a most interesting meeting.

             "I very much appreciate the help of yourself and your associates in providing the true facts on this matter," Reagan wrote in an Aug. 17 letter.

             A letter from Hoover

             A week later, Hoover gave Reagan's campaign a boost when he endorsed the candidate's proposal to set up a new police training academy.

             On Aug. 20, 1966, Reagan had announced his plan for a new anti-crime academy that would teach "police, sheriff's deputies and other law officers the newest methods in crime
             prevention and solution."

             The academy would be located in Berkeley. And "with Mr. Hoover's help," Reagan said, "such a school could become a sort of FBI academy of California."

             Reagan already had written the director to solicit his help.

             "Because of your long record, not only of successfully fighting crime, but also of developing new techniques and methods, and because you have given the United States a
             crime-fighting force second to none in the world, we are eager to have your aid and advice in this project."

I assume that you innocently misread the article. You are well known as a gentleman, and I believe you would not intentionally misrepresent what you read. Finally, I don't know exactly what to say about the view that Berkeley had to be "cleaned up" because opinions were expressed that you disagree with. I was in Berleley in the 1960's. A lot of very extreme views were expressed. I was often offended. But then, your own views are also extreme. Should they be "cleaned up."
