...week, it was at least a much different one. It spoke with the accents of small-town America. Its muscle came no longer from the moneyed influential East, but from the South and the West with their oil and aerospace industries. And, remarkably, although the party is predominantly white, Anglo-Saxon and Protestant, it chose as its candidates Barry Morris Goldwater, 55, who is half-Jewish, and William E.
