This is an interesting copy of an oddly interesting political book, the eloquent statement of a nearly defunct, liberal, wing of the Republican party. Jacob K. Javits 1904 - 1986 served as United States Senator from New York from 1957 to 1981. In 1964, he refused to support his party's conservative Presidential candidate, Barry Goldwater. The nomination had not yet been secured by Goldwater when Javits published this book, hoping to stem the conservative tide. Throughout his career in Congress, in the House and later in the Senate, Javits was part of a small group of liberal Republicans who were often isolated ideologically from their mainstream Republican colleagues. One scoring method found Javits to be the most liberal Republican to serve in either chamber of Congress between 1937 and 2002. Although he frequently differed with the more conservative members of his party, Javits always maintained that a healthy political party should tolerate diverse opinions among its members. He rejected the idea that either party should reflect only one point of view. Javits thought of himself as a political descendant of Theodore Roosevelt's Progressive Republicanism.
