Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. served as both a United States Senator and ambassador to the United Nations, becoming one of the Republican Party’s most influential foreign policy voices during the Cold War era. Barry Goldwater was the Republican presidential nominee in 1964 and a defining figure of modern American conservatism. Thomas E. Dewey twice ran for President of the United States and served as Governor of New York, while Al Smith became the first Catholic major-party presidential nominee in 1928. Everett Dirksen was one of the most powerful Senate leaders of the mid-twentieth century and played a major role in the passage of landmark civil rights legislation.
