Time out from the minutiae of the election campaign to consider, as WFB puts it, "the ethics of contemporary democratic practices." A session worthy of its subject. WFB: "During the big debate on the Panama Canal Treaty,... Senator Goldwater was in favor of the treaty but he voted against it. Somebody said to him: 'Why did you vote against it?' 'Well,' he said, 'I had 10,000 telegrams on the subject, and 9,900 were against the treaty.' Now is that a form of expiation that satisfies your criteria of integrity?" SLC: "See, the trouble is, it depends on how Burkean you want to be about representation. I deeply believe in the vision of our representative as the trustee, as the person who we elect because we trust his judgment and we want him to bring his moral capacity and intellect to bear on the problems of the day.... The trouble is that the Goldwater comment reflects what most representatives in fact do, which is very much the opposite."
