For this reason alone, the article deserves to be archived in your Evernote files. The article also provides a reasonable summary of the influence of the JBS on the conservative movement, especially in the 1960's.

The author is a professor. He says that he keeps a poster of the Goldwater campaign on his office wall at the university.

I have several reasons for keeping a half-century-old "Goldwater for President" poster on a wall of my university office. It serves as a reminder of youthful political passion (I turned thirteen the day before Lyndon Johnson crushed the Arizona senator at the polls), and it pays tribute to the plainspoken candidate's libertarian anti-Communism. It also, I suppose, offers my own bit of micro-aggression toward those colleagues–which would be all of them–who find Goldwater's world view, if they know it, even more abhorrent than antique.
