Four decades of William F. Buckley Jr.'s famous (and
infamous) wit in a volume that will be the political gift
book of the season. Who knew that William F. Buckley Jr., the quintessential
conservative, invented the blog decades before the World
Wide Web came into existence? National Review, like nearly
all magazines, has always published letters from readers. In
1967 the magazine decided that certain letters merited
different treatment, and Buckley, the editor, began a column
called "Notes & Asides," in which he personally answered the
most notable and outrageous letters. The selections in this book, culled from four decades of
these columns, include exchanges with such figures as Ronald
Reagan, Eric Sevareid, Richard Nixon, A. M. Rosenthal,
Auberon Waugh, John Kenneth Galbraith, and Arthur
Schlesinger Jr. There are also hilarious exchanges with
ordinary readers, as well as letters from Buckley to various
organizations and government agencies.
