The Style Of Barry Goldwater
Clean. Neat. Rather sharp. Square? Only a little. Somebody should post some pictures. I've seen a nice one of him wearing a club collar.

Not what I had in mind. Forget the stereotypes.

There, now, isn't that better? The only problem with contemplating Barry is, the Democratic Party riposte to his campaign slogan will keep running through my head.
"In your guts, you know he's nuts".

Could be.
Rarely seen a picture of him looking anything but immaculate.
If only he'd kept a little quieter about nuclear issues.
Blame JFK for LBJ?

Has anyone seen the documentary on Goldwater produced by his granddaughter?

Re: The Style Of Barry Goldwater
Most photographs I've ever seen of Goldwater have him looking like the chairman of a large corporation. Is it an Ivy League look? Or is it just well-bred, well-dressed, conservative American look? Either will do. Either should have some appeal for many on here, providing they can drive multiple images of John, Bobby and Teddy Kennedy out of their minds for a split second.

Re: The Style Of Barry Goldwater
Not to mention Camelot, The Bay of Pigs, the face-off with the Soviets... I know all about this, Dennis... Thank God for LBJ, LeMay, Tet and The Great Society, huh? I'm talking about the way the guy knotted his tie, not whether he enjoyed uranium in his prune juice, fucking Texan cheerleaders or joining Edgar Hoover in panties and high heels...

Lyndon Johnson, of course, really did look like a cow-poke!

Re: The Style Of Barry Goldwater
wasnt there a story about him telling some savile row tailor "Make muh look lahk an Anglish Diplo-mat" ?
Exposing his genitals in official cabinet meetings did set an excellent precedent for later Democratic chief executives.

Politicians aside, I always loved the late Peter Boyle. A pinko if ever there was one.

Re: The Style Of Barry Goldwater
There is a clip of a telephone conversation between LBJ and his tailor, with the President ordering several pairs of trousers. Hilarious. Especially the part where he considers to have shirts made out of the same material.

Re: The Style Of Barry Goldwater
I have to own up to being an ex-Labour neo-con (the only difference between David Miliband and I in that respect is he remains a Labour neo-con), without necessarily being a hawk. Don't ask me why, I was very taken with Oliver North; and the trick at my seat of learning was to carry a copy of 'The Hunt For Red October' to tutorials on Henry James or Melville being conducted by our (wholly affable) resident Marxist.
