And that is what Chicago is, if we are to believe Old Blue Eyes. And we do! And believe you this, too: On Thursday, October 18, there will be a humdinger of a gala in the Windy City — namely, National Review Institute’s fifth annual William F. Buckley Jr. Prize Dinner, to be held at The Cultural Center in Chicago, and to bestow the Buckley Prize on our esteemed friends, Edwin J. Feulner (Leadership in Political Thought) and Karen Buchwald Wright (for Leadership in Supporting Liberty). Now, especially if you live in the Midwest, we want very much for you to join us at this swell affair, and even possibly to join the gala’s host committee (now in formation). To register as a sponsor, please click here, or contact Alexandra Zimmern Rosenberg by email ([email protected]) or phone (212-849-2858). We’re hoping folks will do that before August 1.
