Minutes later, the Senator was at the controls of a trim twin-jet Air Force T-39 cabin job, climbed to 45,000 ft., and headed for Washington. Reluctantly, he gave the stick to his copilot and took a seat in the cabin to chat with a newsman about "this President thing...
...Real Choice. Goldwater has plenty going for him-entirely aside from Rockefeller's remarriage and the problems confronting other G.O.P. possibilities. At 54, with a trim build (6 ft., 185 Ibs.), a bronzed face, silver hair and a man's-man personality, he is one of the most attractive politicians in the U.S. today. He has earned for himself a label as Mr. Conservative.

...life down on the farm (on the banks of the Rock River) is not exactly typical of his customers' way of life. He and his wife raise 130 Arabian horses, love to ride and sail, get away to Europe for at least two months almost every year. A trim and distinguished-looking man who likes expensive suits and first-class living, Hewitt collects art and is hipped on architecture. The company's new headquarters, designed by the late architect Eero Saarinen, is a striking seven-story steel-and-glass building set on a lake-gouged out by tractors...
