Brown are being re- his grandson, Edwin B. a professor of law at the University of Utah. In these revealing memoirs, Brown recounts his troubled youth and physically abusive father, his courship and career as a successful lawyer, the devastating death of his oldest son during World War II, and his trying years as a Mormon leader. He also discloses his liberal views on birth control, Fir-mag- high-rankin- leased in Salt Lake City. The memoirs shed light on the inner workings of the Mormon hierarchy. "An Abundant Life: The Memoirs of Hugh E. Brown," published by Signature Books, contains the autobiography of g Brown, a liberal Democrat and member of the First Presidency of the Mormon church from 1961 to 1970, one of the most controversial decades of Mormon history. They were dictated to and edited by life-lon- e, marital sexual relations, divorce, political extremism, science, intellectualism, and race relations.

In fact, Firmage contends, 'I believe without the slightest doubt that his position on blacks and the priesthood was the matter that ment." For example, he suggests that this was the case when Mormon leaders denied full led to his removal from the new First Presidency in 1970." This policy was officially changed in 1978, almost three years after Brown's death. "I personally believe," Firmage concludes, "we as a church were poorer without President Brown and his sensitivity on social and moral issues in the First Presidency." Brown favored birth control, discouraged attempts to circumscribe sexual activity be- tween married couples, en- guidelines for divorce, and ad- couraged more liberal vocated free thought.
