Book idea: a group biography of Barry Goldwater's speechwriters/ghostwriters: L. Brent Bozell, Harry Jaffa, and Karl Hess. Each went off in wild directions: Bozell to Francoism and anti-abortion violence, Jaffa to strident homophobia, Hess to anti-war anarchism.

Replying to @HaraldKml
Once in late 1960s Goldwater saw Hess outside capitol building protesting war in full hippy garb. Goldwater: why don't you come around anymore? Hess: your staff might not like that. Goldwater: Piss on them, you're my friend.
