Herschel Connor introduces the program and the guest Earl Faircloth, attorney general of the state of Florida (1965-1971), and the interviewer Jack Detweiler.   He also says that the program is produced by Radio Center of the University of Florida in cooperation with the Altrusa Club of Gainesville. In answer to what the biggest problems facing the state in the next ten years Faircloth mentions the need for a top flight educational system and the necessity to fight organized crime.  Faircloth talks about the attorney general's role in fighting organized crime.  Faircloth also gives a long reply to the question Detweiler asks about the three major areas in which Faircloth is interested (education, crime, and conservation) and why he is including conservation.  Faircloth also mentions the (Ted) Randall - (Jerry) Thomas Bill and its ramifications.
