As Goldwater's son, Barry Goldwater Jr., reminds us, conservatives must present positive answers to national problems, not just condemn them. (Associated Press)

Artist Robert Sutz works on a life mask in his studio on April 28, 2014 in Scottsdale, Ariz. The statue of the late U.S. Sen. Barry Goldwater that will eventually move to the U.S. Capitol is at the center of an artists' feud. A Scottsdale artist has accused the statue's creator of using one of his pieces for the project without giving him credit. Deborah Copenhaver Fellows, of Sonoita, unveiled the 8-foot-tall statue of Goldwater on March 31 at the Arizona Capitol. Sutz says Copenhaver Fellows based her work on a plaster life mask of Goldwater that he made. Copenhaver Fellows has denied the claim, saying she made her own mold for the sculpture.
