| | Revolt of the Goldwater conservatives - Salon |
 | | Barry Goldwater was the alpha of the conservative movement, his capture of the Republican Party nomination in 1964 prophetic. |
 | | "Barry was always a social liberal," Susan Goldwater Levine, his widow, keeper of the flame, told me at her home, high in the hills above Phoenix, watching a pastel sunset, in 70 degree winter weather. |
