...Goldwater brand of politics proved surprisingly popular, especially back home. Running for re-election in 1958 against Democrat McFarland, Goldwater breezed in by a comfortable 35,000 votes and, in a generally disastrous Republican year, returned to Washington as the fair-haired boy of U.S. conservatism. Inevitably, a boomlet began for a Goldwater place on the 1960 Republican national ticket-and Barry did little to stunt its growth. "If I were offered the vice-presidential spot on the ticket," he told newsmen at a 1959 press conference in Columbus, Ohio, "I'd have to have marijuana in my veins...
Your account in today's CRIMSON of my remarks before the Harvard-Radcliffe World Federalists last night puts me in a very bad position by crediting me with the expression of an idea which was originally proposed by Dr. Ross A. McFarland, Professor of Environmental Health and Safety at the Harvard School of Public Health...

We all live here, all help one another. Why shouldn't we go to school together...
Ideological leader of the new Republican group was popular Department Store Owner Barry Goldwater, a 40-year-old in 1949 when he led a Good Government reform slate to take over a rickety Phoenix city government. Three years later he upset Senate Majority Leader Ernest McFarland in a Senate race, beat him again in 1958. Kansas-born John Rhodes, who learned about Phoenix as a World War II pilot, became in 1952 the first Republican to win an Arizona seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. By 1958, Republican Paul Fannin, backed by such businesslike young Republicans as Dave Murdock...
