Drive to nominate Goldwater reshaped GOP history
An editor's note traces a 1961 to 1964 Republican campaign led by Rita Bree and others to push for a conservative GOP shift. The story highlights that the movement aimed to reform the party, not merely back a single candidate, and that Barry Goldwater eventually did not engage early, announcing his candidacy only in January 1964 amid a broad, long running effort.
