When speechwriter Karl Hess coined the phrase "Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice; moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue" in 1964, he was a fervent supporter of conservative presidential candidate Barry Goldwater. Within a few years, Hess had become a philosophical anarchist, who was billed as the "Field Marshal of the Revolution" at a radicals' convention. On April 9, 1973, Hess appeared at the University of Arizona's Gallagher Theater and spoke on "Technology, Government and Society." He mourned that the 1964 election was the last chance the country had to stop the growth of the presidency.
