There are important differences between the gospel according to Goldwater and that preached by Wallace. Goldwater was, and is, an ideological conservative with rather classic ideas about limiting the activities of Government. While opposing certain civil rights laws, Goldwater never opposed racial integration. He admired conservative intellectuals like William F. Buck ley and Professor Milton Friedman of the University of Chicago. Wallace, while making an essentially emotional appeal, is a functional conservative concerned with such specific issues as segregation and states' rights (but not economy in government; for a Southern Governor, Wallace was a big spender).

...used to be the fairly exclusive pastime of racists and other right-wing extremists. Now it has become a more popular preoccupation. Many people who think that U.S. society is somehow sick tend to blame the court for much of the rise in crime, the loosening of morals, the racial conflict and the general air of permissiveness. Most of those complaints have welled up in the acrimonious debate in the Senate over Lyndon Johnson's nomination of Abe Fortas to become the nation's 15th Chief Justice.

Last week, instead, he was found guilty of manslaughter, and now he faces two to 15 years in prison. Though there were only a few racial outbursts to mark the court's finding, no one in Oakland was taking threats by Black Panthers with anything but seriousness...
Central Casting. There is much that needs to be explained and understood. The Chicago riots were entirely different from uprisings in the ghettos. Those were spontaneous, disorganized, racial. Chicago, in fact, was a formal, prearranged confrontation between the Old and New Politics. Central Casting could have produced no better field marshal for the Old Politics army. Like some 18th century European general, Mayor Daley chose the place of battle, formed his battalions, set his lines of defense, and established his criteria for defeat or victory: there would be no disturbances in the streets of Chicago. The leftist youth leaders...
...general, the attackers tend to be the huskier, more violent criminals who are unable otherwise to achieve masculine pride. They do not think of themselves as homosexuals, believing that they are manly as long as they are the partner who "is aggressive and penetrates." The aggression also has racial overtones. Though Negroes constitute 80% of the prison population, more than half of the attacks by them were against whites...
