Showdown at the Not-So-OK Corral

Good, wide-ranging discussion. I don't know if it was intentional or not, but I noticed Steve said he would offer more analysis of the Buckley book "in due course" -- one of WFB's most often-used phrases.

Yes, it was intentional, insofar as I have been using that Buckley phrase for years, having picked it up from Firing Line and his columns.

I'll have a long review of the Tanenhaus bio coming out shortly--hopefully the next few days. Watch for updates on my Substack, "Political Questions." I'll be sure to make a big announcement there.

Two Great Americans back when TV was TV. lol

Extremely well done. I commented on X that he gives short shrift to Catholicism and wonder if goes into WFB's love of music at all. Without in-depth examination of those two aspects of his life, a reader will not get a sense of WFB.
