he
              Conscience of a Conservative "was our
new
              testament," Pat Buchanan has said. "It
contained the
              core beliefs of our political faith, it
told us why we
              had failed, what we must do. We read it,
memorized
              it, quoted it.... For those of us
wandering in the arid
              desert of Eisenhower Republicanism, it
hit like a rifle
              shot." The book was especially popular
on college
              campuses. In the early sixties one could
find
              Goldwater badges and clubs at
universities across
              the country. Expressing the sense of
rebellion that
              Goldwater's book helped inspire, one
student
              conservative explained the phenomenon:
"You walk
              around with your Goldwater button, and
you feel
              that thrill of treason."
