    2 The Board of Visitors 100 Years 1908-2008 Generations of women … Serving the health care needs of the Phoenix community 3 Introduction What an appropriate time to research and write our history! Little did our 16 charter members know, as they visited the isolated tuberculosis patients at St. Luke’s Home, that one hundred years later a group of 180 women bearing the same name, The Board of Visitors, would still be helping those in need. With the sale of St. Luke’s hospital in 1994, The Board of Visitors closed an important chapter of its history. A new chapter began with the members’ continuing commitment to raise and provide funds to support health care needs in the community, true to the mission of The Board of Visi- tors. As we celebrate the 100-year tradition of The Board of Visitors, let us all reflect on what an honor it is to be members of the oldest charitable organization in Metro- politan Phoenix.

  • The President's Conservatives: Richard Nixon and the American Conservative Movement
    ALL THE PRESIDENT'S CONSERVATIVES: RICHARD NIXON AND THE AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE MOVEMENT. David Sarias Rodriguez Department of History University of Sheffield Submitted for the degree of PhD October 2010 ABSTRACT This doctoral dissertation exammes the relationship between the American conservative movement and Richard Nixon between the late 1940s and the Watergate scandal, with a particular emphasis on the latter's presidency. It complements the sizeable bodies ofliterature about both Nixon himself and American conservatism, shedding new light on the former's role in the collapse of the post-1945 liberal consensus. This thesis emphasises the part played by Nixon in the slow march of American conservatism from the political margins in the immediate post-war years to the centre of national politics by the late 1960s. The American conservative movement is treated as a diverse epistemic community made up of six distinct sub-groupings - National Review conservatives, Southern conservatives, classical liberals, neoconservatives, American Enterprise Institute conservatives and the 'Young Turks' of the New Right - which, although philosophically and behaviourally autonomous, remained intimately associated under the overall leadership of the intellectuals who operated from the National Review. Although for nearly three decades Richard Nixon and American conservatives endured each other in a mutually frustrating and yet seemingly unbreakable relationship, Nixon never became a fully-fledged member of the movement. Yet, from the days of Alger Hiss to those of the' Silent Majority', he remained the political actor best able to articulate and manipulate the conservative canon into a populist, electorally successful message. During his presidency, the administration's behaviour played a crucial role - even if not always deliberately - in the momentous transformation of the conservative movement into a more diverse, better-organised, modernised and more efficient political force.

In Reckless Pursuit: Barry Goldwater, A Team of Amateurs and the Rise of Conservatism Department of History, Union College, June 2014 ADVISOR: Andrew J. Morris, Ph.D. Before 1964, Barry Goldwater had never lost an election. In fact, despite being the underdog in both of his U.S. Senate elections in Arizona, in 1952 and 1958, he defied the odds and won. His keen ability for organization, fundraising and strategy was so widely respected that his Republican colleagues appointed the freshman senator to chair their campaign committee in 1955, with conservatives and liberals alike requesting his aid during contentious elections.

  • The Significance and Impact of Women
    THE SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF WOMEN ON THE RISE OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN TWENTIETH CENTURY TEXAS Kristi Throne Strickland, B.B.A., M.A. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2000 APPROVED: Ronald E. Marcello, Major Professor and Chair Donald K. Pickens, Committee Member Randolph B. Campbell, Committee Member Alexandra Leavell, Committee Member Elizabeth Esterchild, Committee Member Richard M. Golden, Chair of the Department of History C. Neal Tate, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Strickland, Kristi Throne, The Significance and Impact of Women on the Rise of the Republican Party in Twentieth Century Texas. Doctor of Philosophy (History), August, 2000, 267 pp., references, 180 titles. During the early twentieth century, the Democratic party dominated the conservative political landscape of Texas. Through the 1920s, members of the Republican party focused on patronage and seemed content to maintain the position of minority party. A growing dissatisfaction with the liberal policies of the New Deal during the 1930s created opportunities for state Republicans to woo dissenting Democrats to their side. With a change of leadership within the state GOP after 1950, the Republicans waged serious campaigns for offices for the first time. Republican men exercised their political yearnings through leadership positions. Women, on the other hand, were shut out of the leadership ranks, and, as a consequence, they chose a traditional female strategy. They organized clubs in order to support the new leadership and rising candidates. Against formidable odds, Republican women acted as foot soldiers and worked diligently to attain their objectives.

  • When 'A Time for Choosing' Became the Time for Reagan by Karl Rove
    When ‘A Time For Choosing’ Became the Time for Reagan By Karl Rove For a speech that launched one of the most consequential political careers in American history, it didn't seem to be a good idea to some people. The race for the White House had only a week left and Gallup had the Republican challenger behind in its latest survey with 36% to the incumbent president’s 64%. The nationally televised half-hour program would divert valuable resources from the challenger’s desperate efforts to get-out-the-vote. The candidate wouldn’t even appear on the program. Instead, a Hollywood actor who had switched parties just a couple of years before would deliver the message. The program was taped before the campaign’s manager and policy director even knew about it – and when they saw the tape, they were aghast: the speech dealt with an issue the campaign wanted to avoid at all costs. But the manager couldn’t cancel it. California friends of the broadcast’s star, led by an oil industry titan, had paid the production and placement costs out of their own pockets. When the candidate personally called and asked the speaker not to let the program be aired, he dodged and weaved. It wasn’t up to him, the star said. It was other people’s money and their decision, not his. Besides, he asked, what was wrong with the message? In the end, Senator Barry Goldwater watched the tape of 53-year old Ronald Reagan’s speech with special attention to the segment on Social Security that his manager and long-time confidant, Denison Kitchel, and campaign policy director, William J.
