	Norris Poulson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Norris Poulson (July 23, 1895 – September 25, 1982) served as mayor of Los Angeles, California from 1953 to 1961, after having been a California state assemblyman and then a member of the United States Congress for eight years.
		The couple arrived in Los Angeles in 1923, with Poulson becoming a certified public accountant through correspondence classes and night school at Southwestern University.
		Poulson's victory in the Los Angeles mayor's race came amid a contentious battle in which his opponent, incumbent mayor, Fletcher Bowron, claimed that the Los Angeles Times wanted to control city government, and by endorsing Poulson, would have a puppet in the mayor's office.

		It was during his reign that Los Angeles went through major changes favored by the Times, including the abandonment of an affordable-public-housing program (a key election issue in 1953) and the displacement of the working-class Latino neighborhoods near downtown.
		Poulson, it turned out, had become a forgotten figure, living in a retirement community in Tustin in Orange County.
		“Dear Norrie,” it began, stating that a group of L.A. power brokers, including Chandler, had decided that Poulson would be their candidate to challenge Bowron.

	Samuel William Yorty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although municipal elections in California are non-partisan, the resources of the party were directed against him when he ran for Mayor of Los Angeles the following year against incumbent Republican Norris Poulson.
		The bitter campaign was marked by Poulson's claim that Yorty was backed by members of organized crime, a comment that caused Yorty to sue Poulson for $3.3 million.
		He railed against "a little ruling clique" of "downtown interests" and promised to revise the city charter, which had become unwieldy with the city's growth from a quiet West Coast town to the third largest metropolis in the country.

	TIME Magazine Archive Article -- A Small Surprise -- Apr. 14, 1961
		The mayor of Los Angeles fulfills mostly ceremonial functions, and in this role, Norris Poulson, 65, an accountant and former Republican Congressman, is an unqualified success.
		He gets to his office promptly at 7:30 a.m., turns to his task with an unfettered spirit, and even his enemies admit that he is a superior civic greeter, ribbon snipper and proclamation signer.
		Poulson led, but his 179,273 votes were nearly 100,000 less than the combined total of his opponents and he was forced into a May 31 runoff election with former Democratic Congressman Sam Yorty, a lawyer and persistent politician who has been out of office since 1954.

		When it comes to making multi-million dollar deals, Mayor Norris Poulson was a novice, relying more on advice and gut feeling than business acumen.
		His high strung, fidgety ineptness is played to the max by Tim Ryan as he shows how Poulson almost blows the deal and eventually has the city giving millions to O'Malley, but getting little in return.
		Every politician has a "yes man" and Poulson's "yes man" is credibly handled by Chad Mathews.

		He toppled a mayor —Norris Poulson—even though he was working for a station owned by the Times-Mirror Company, whose two daily newspapers were backing the incumbent.
		During the primary in 1961, Putnam was pulling for either Sam Yorty, a former assemblyman and congressman, or Pat McGee, a member of the City Council and former assemblyman.
		After Yorty got in the run-off with Poulson, Putnam was his on-air champion.

		Poulson ran for office using the Chavez Ravine controversy as a platform, vowing to stop the housing project and other examples of “un-American” spending.
		After much negotiation, Poulson was able to buy the land taken from Chavez Ravine back from the federal government at a drastically reduced price, with the stipulation that the land be used for a public purpose.

		L.A. Forty years ago, when the Democrats assembled here to nominate John F. Kennedy, Los Angeles was a city on the verge of enormous change.
		Republican Norris Poulson was mayor, a position for which he’d been drafted seven years earlier by a group of powerful local businessmen known as the Committee of 25 — but only after its chairman had assured Poulson that the job would come with a chauffered limousine.
		By 1960, however, the Committee — a formal but unofficial group of banking, insurance, aircraft and law-firm capos who controlled local politics at least partly to maintain the property values of their downtown headquarters — was already starting to look like a relic.
