Better smile when you say “New Frontier” to an immoderate California Republican. We never did cotton to the phrase, but it is absolute anathema to us now that re apportionment has put a new frontier on every blessed district in the state.
The gerrymander of Massachusetts in 1812 was doubtless a notable political achievement in its day, but it bears the same relationship to the 1961 partition of California as the Wright Brothers’ flight at Kitty Hawk in 1903 does to Alan Shepard’s venture into space this year.
