...this is so, it is unfortunate that the arrogant, pushy, rude, and generally obnoxious minority of the Senator's following made its presence felt. From the booing and harassing of Rockefeller to battles with sergeants at arms, most of the convention personnel found the Goldwaterites at the Cow Palace to be generally intolerable...
...different labels, flavored with everything from cognac (Dr Pepper's Pommac) to coconut milk (Yoo-Hoo's Milkette). Schweppes' Bitter Lemon now accounts for a third of Schweppes' sales in the U.S., though it has only been on the market one year. Even Elsie the Cow is out to milk the market. Borden has just put on the shelves its first soft drink-a milk-laced beverage called Moola-Koola. One reason the soft-drink people are convinced that their boom can only grow is that the biggest group of soft-drinkers are on the verge...
...Cow Palace was no place for Republican moderation. The amendments on extremism and nuclear weapons control lost by huge head counts, with shoulder-to-shoulder phalanxes of Goldwater people rising to vote no. And when the long-and relatively listless-debate on civil rights ended, Morton polled each delegation, got a stunning show of Barry's strength: the amendment was beaten 897 to 409.

That scene's significance lay in the far-reaching fact that in many areas of the U.S. a latent suspicion that the press is sometimes unfair has hardened into a belief that, especially in matters of politics, it is partisan and untrustworthy. To almost all Goldwater's admirers, the press represents the "Eastern establishment" that is out to get Barry. They think primarily of press, radio and television and its influential New York-Washington base; newsmen are viewed as liberals who distort Goldwater's views...
...dislike and suspicion of the press that was displayed in the Cow Palace is by no means entirely unjustified. Segments of the press have sometimes sounded as extremist as any Goldwater extremist. Thus Drew Pearson began a column last week with the observation: "The smell of fascism has been in the air at this convention." Joe Alsop, who opined last March that "no serious Republican politician, even of the most Neanderthal type, any longer takes Goldwater seriously," now declared it a "fact" that "many Goldwater enthusiasts are genuine fanatics, like the majority of his delegates...
