...Negro population? I am surprised at your lack of a sense of moral consciousness; or should I be glad that a national publication has had the candor to admit that for all of our 20th century sophisticated internationalism, we are still not that far removed from our caveman ancestry...

The Washington Post's Herblock draws Goldwater with a snarling lip, but says: "I think he's so bad all you have to do is to picture him as he is." Paul Conrad of the Los Angeles Times also claims, "I don't put in any more than I see." What he sees is a jutting jaw and a vacant...
