The conservative moment will never be able to honor William F. Buckley, Jr., enough--he gave it intellectual respectability when before it was people grumbling alone. (And if people don't quit insisting on perfect conservative purity conservatism will consist of people grumbling alone out of power just like 60 years ago.)

Buckley's child Christopher Buckley, another author, wrote very nice piece in, and don't blench, The New York Times. It presents a side of Bill and Pat Buckley that I had never guessed.

I found myself liking this the best of all of his writing.
