Questions for CC Goldwater

Interview by DEBORAH SOLOMON

Q: Your grandfather, Barry Goldwater, was both adored and vilified

during his lifetime as the rightest of the right-wing senators. Yet

your new documentary, _Mr. Conservative: Goldwater on Goldwater_,

which will be shown on HBO starting Sept. 18, tries to rehabilitate

him as a kind of liberal compared with today's conservatives.

Q: Hillary Clinton actually campaigned for your grandfather in

1964, when he ran against Lyndon Johnson for president.

A: Hillary was a Goldwater girl. Isn't that hysterical? She passed out

cookies and lemonade at his campaign functions.
