Bill Bennett has had some great tributes on his radio show this morning to WFB, from Americans from all walks of life. Rich will be on at 7:30, BTW, and WFB student and friend Charles Kesler after Rich.

In our symposium, WJB wrote, in part:

Today we have a movement of bright lights, but they were illuminated at their origins by Bill and his work. His passing is a reminder to us, not only of the happiness found in good work for good causes, but in the gifts man is capable of bestowing to the world when blessed by God. Bill Buckley was such a man, and it was my blessing to know him.

And Charles remembered his last visit with Bill, earlier this month: “He knew now the weariness that Whittaker Chambers had warned him of decades before. But he did not despair.”
