In 1960 , he took his family to Spain for the first time , making him absent from the Palm Beach decision of Buckley , Goldwater , Russell Kirk , and William Baroody Sr. to freeze out the John Birch Society from the conservative movement . Kirk inferred that Bozell would not have had any reason to be opposed to the decision , but , in fact , he , along with Frank Meyer and William Rusher , protested the exclusion of the Society from the conservative movement . After the failed attempt to draft Goldwater at the 1960 Republican National Convention , Bozell , a strong proponent of a Goldwater candidacy , was disappointed and annoyed by the would-be candidate 's firm endorsement of the moderate Richard Nixon-Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. ticket . In 1962 , addressing an 18,500 strong conservative rally in New York City 's Madison Square Garden , he issued a rhetorical order to the Berlin commander , " Tear down the Berlin Wall , " which would be echoed more famously 25 years later by Ronald Reagan , who exhorted Mikhail Gorbachev to " Tear down this wall ! " In 1964 , Bozell ran for the U.S. House of Representatives from Maryland against Charles Mathias , one of the leaders of the then-influential liberal wing of the Republican Party ; references to the gnostic heresy and to the " arcana of Spanish legitimism " made during his campaign speeches may have contributed to his loss . In 1965 , he moved his family to Spain purportedly because " you breathed the Catholic thing there " and , along with Frederick Wilhelmsen and William Marshner among others , founded the Catholic magazine '' Triumph '' in 1966 which Bozell intended to be a bulwark of Catholic orthodoxy and a sort of '' National Review '' for Catholics . The magazine featured contributions from distinguished names such as Russell Kirk ( a Catholic convert ) , Christopher Dawson , Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn , John Lukacs , Thomas Molnar , Jeffrey Hart , Sir Arnold Lunn , Charles Journet , Rousas John Rushdoony ( a Calvinist ) , and initially received an enthusiastic endorsement by Buckley in the pages of '' National Review ''
