  Brown Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Brown Act, officially known as the Ralph M. Brown Act (California Government Code Sections 54950-54963), authored by Ralph M. Brown, a Central Valley assemblyman representing Turlock, was enacted in 1953 by the California State Legislature in an effort to safeguard the public's right to access and participate in government meetings within the State.
The Brown Act, originally a 686 word statute that has grown substantially over the years, was enacted in response to mounting public concerns over informal, undisclosed meetings held by local elected officials which were not in compliance with requirements for advance public notice; instead, they were skirting laws by holding secret 'workshops' and 'study sessions'.
The Brown Act solely applies to California city and county government agencies, boards, and councils, whereas the comparable Bagley-Keane Act mandates open meetings for State government agencies.

 washingtonpost.com: In a Surprise Move, Ralph Brown Is Cut
The move caught many at Redskins Park by surprise because Brown, 25, was signed to a two-year, $1.38 million contract in March after spending the last four seasons with the New York Giants.
Gregg Williams, the Redskins' assistant head coach-defense, said the team released Brown early to give him a better chance to sign with another team, a policy that the Redskins also applied to veteran defensive back Ifeanyi Ohalete and linebacker Kevin Mitchell, who were early cuts.
Brown's departure had more to do with the emergence of young players in the secondary and was not an indictment of Brown's play, Williams said, adding that several teams have contacted the Redskins about Brown in recent days.

It does not, it cannot, capture Ralph's quickness of mind, his insatiable curiosity, his bonhomie: his love of art, of good food, of wine and conversation, which were all of a piece with him.
From Ralph I learned, as from no other, that to effect a common purpose one has to meet foolishness with an open mind, to confront mendacity with dispassion, and to treat even fools and knaves with respect.

 "Blacklists and Other Economic Sanctions"
It is hard to come up with accurate statistics for the number of politically motivated dismissals during the McCarthy period, for both the employers and the people they fired tried to conceal what was happening--the former to protect themselves against charges of violating civil liberties, the latter to obtain future jobs.
Yale Law School professor Ralph Brown, who conducted the most systematic survey of the economic damage of the McCarthy era, estimated that roughly ten thousand people lost their jobs.
Such a figure may be low, as even Brown admits, for it does not include rejected applicants, people who resigned under duress, and the men and women who were ostensibly dismissed for other reasons.
