We have other things to cover too, and are (Pete Hegseth from Iraq, Andy McCarthy on Fatah and us, Charles Krauthammer on the Times and McCain, and more to come), and will continue to, but I confess that over the last day or so now, I’ve been in WFB mode. Even when reading or talking about something else, I’m being drawn to some great story about someone who viewed Bill Buckley, whom he never met, but who he considered a father figure or a column from one of those who constitutes his legacy. Even when on a radio show to talk about something else (the election), I wind up hearing the host with some heartfelt WFB gush. I love reading and hearing good WFB stories. And there are so many of them.

This morning Peggy Noonan and Bill McGurn drew me in when I had set off to make sure the silly Panama Canal McCain residence story wasn’t still an issue. Both are stirring columns from two great writers and people who get Bill and loved him. Both are over in the web briefing, which is still a collection of WFB links, some of them classic, some of them utilitarian, some of them just downright delightful.

It’s not just Peggy and Bill today, David Brooks and George Will have ones too (check web briefing), and there’s countless more out there I suspect, including new pieces right here on NRO — including Larry Perelman recounting Bill’s last dinner with great love and appreciation, Rich on gratitude and Bill, Mona, Jonah, and Kathleen Parker — and more to come from Christina Galbraith, and a slew of others on his writing (including Jay Nordlinger, Rick Brookhiser, George Weigel, Denis Boyles, and many more), among others today and after.
