Even though he lost to Lyndon B. Johnson in a landslide, Barry Goldwater's failed 1964 presidential run is increasingly seen by conservatives as a major turning point of twentieth-century politics. Without Goldwater to pave the way, there likely would have been no Reagan or Bush administrations, and perhaps no Clinton administration either.

J. William Middendorf II served in the Nixon, Ford, and Reagan administrations as Secretary of the Navy, Ambassador to The Netherlands, U.S. Representative to the Organization of American States, and U.S. Representative to the European Community. He is a founding member, with William F. Buckley Jr., of the American Conservative Union and a board member of the Heritage Foundation. He lives in Rhode Island.
