Barry Goldwater: Western icon with art and river water ties
Barry Goldwater, dead at 89, fused brash Western independence with a sensitive side, photographing Arizona landscapes and supporting art. He chaired the Armed Services Committee, funded Western installations, backed the 1984 Wilderness Act with Morris Udall, and lamented Glen Canyon Dam though his career widened state power and land protection.
