Scott has little political use for Goldwater, is an outspoken moderate Republican. "I was born a conservative," he says, "and have become increasingly liberal. Most of my friends started out as liberals and became conservative." At the Republican Convention, he was floor manager for Bill Scranton and, after Goldwater's nomination, made some sounds about refusing to support Barry...

Richard Nixon spoke out for Goldwater last week at the Michigan Republican Convention, will open a five-week 30-state national speaking tour for him early in October. Pennsylvania's Governor William Scranton will plug the ticket in eight states besides his own in 31 days of speechmaking. Kentucky's Senator Thruston Morton is swinging through at least a dozen states to proclaim his "wholehearted support of Goldwater and Miller...
