Impact in Suburbia. The revolution has been a long time brewing. As Cornell Political Scientist Andrew Hacker puts it: "The new conservatism is the result of the democratic process itself; the widening of new opportunities for millions of Americans who have risen to a better location in life and who at all cost want to ensure that they remain there." Accordingly, many Goldwater admirers are middle-class "haves"-a fact that was obvious in the crowds of well-dressed, well-behaved men and matrons who showed up at receptions for their man all over San Francisco...
...more desperate than a temporary Christmastime job with a schlock detective agency. The agency lends him a car, car and cash attract a girl friend, and his upfall is assured. Author Gelber's anteroom to hell has become a shabby little way station on the train ride to suburbia...
...major U.S. political parties over the long haul?

If nothing else, it should serve as a spur to the G.O.P. to work much harder in the big industrial cities...

...sales in the first quarter were the highest in history, rising 7% over last year and 4% over record 1955. Automen no longer consider what is happening in the industry a boom; taking into account a steadily growing population, the growth of multicar families and the steady spread of suburbia, they feel that the industry has reached an era in which 8,000,000 sales will be a normal year. Some automen are already talking about 10 million a year...
