RIP: WILLIAM F. BUCKLEY, JR.
Conservative commentator and founder of
National Review William F. Buckley, Jr. has
died at age 82. I read his
God & Man at Yale in college and it proved to be a gateway into intellectual conservatism for me. I was able to interview WFB for my senior thesis in college at the National Review offices, a truly wonderful experience.
Without his founding of
National Review magazine the American political and cultural landscape would have been far different, and likely would not have included Ronald Reagan as President.
He was a towering figure and will be missed.
