Miscellany Imitation Is the Sincerest Form of Flattery: Assembly Republicans have been trumpeting their legislative program as an “Agenda of Opportunity” for the last two years, a good public relations phrase. And, like other ideas that have merit, it didn’t go unnoticed by the other side. Senate President Pro Tem David A. Roberti (D-Los Angeles) urged the Legislature to “build an Agenda of Opportunity” for Californians in 1986.
