Though Senator Barry Goldwater is often tagged "far right" and "arch" and "ultra conservative" by our fearful, ultra-whited, journalistic sepulchers, he speaks and acts like a splendid classical liberal-one of the few public men producing sense instead of gobbledygook...
Their Student Council President, Howard J. Phillips, was making speeches throughout the East as an arch conservative. the average person, according to an anti-Phillips faction, was thinking of Harvard undergraduates as conservative because Phillips' name and title had been attached to widely distributed conservative pronouncements.
