Stevens was born in my hometown but grew up down
the road in Davis. His dad was either UC Davis or state
or fed govt affliliated. Can’t recall if Chris attended UCD
or Berkeley but that isn’t hard to find out. Neither school
is going to produce the kind of person associated w/this
narrative but is no hard and fast rule, however. Suspect
he was an idealistic straight shooter although likely on
the more lefty side of politics
Sounds like a typical career civil servant type background.
