...most articulate new spokesman for the Republican Party's Old Guard is Arizona's handsome U.S. Senator, Barry Morris Goldwater, 51. Individualist Goldwater, boss of four prospering Arizona department stores developed from a business started by a Jewish peddler grandfather, was an Army Air Forces pilot in World War II, now campaigns in a twin-engined Beechcraft, has been twice elected to the Senate in a state with a 2½-to-1 Democratic edge in registration. He is already the half-serious choice of Republicans in South Carolina and Arizona for the G.O.P. presidential nomination, is working...
When Engineer Patty finished his call for "maximum service to Alaska," the board of regents named him to succeed retiring President Terris Moore, a brilliant rescue pilot who (quipped the campus newspaper) "spent more time in the clouds than in the classroom."

Paul knew the inside of jails around the Mediterranean. Before he died, almost certainly as a martyr, he was scourged five...
...shaped First Christian Church, onetime chaplain of the Republican National Committee, who ran for the U.S. Senate in 1950 and lost to Democrat Mike Monroney; when his twin-engined plane crashed into a milk truck at Camp Hill, Pa., also killing his wife Marylouise, 36, and their pilot...
