I dunno if Gore Vidal qualifies as a Republican?
"Palimpsest" made me aware of how little I knew of the subtleties of US system.
My father visited the US when Goldwater was campaigning; it must have been against LBJ. He brought back a couple of bottles of Goldwater which lived on the bar for a decade or so. This was the time of "None Dare Call It Treason", which lived around the house too. Yet Barry Goldwater was just the beginning of the beginning of this. No?
