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./ William F. Buckley Jr. [was] the author of fifty previous works of fiction and nonfiction. The founder and former editor-in-chief of National Review and former host of 'Firing Line,' he was one of the intellectual leaders of the right since the 1950s. He lived in Stamford, Connecticut, and New York City." - Publisher.
