We have raised $5,900, from 54 selfless friends, since 9:00 a.m., which was when we announced this wrap-up-the-Webathon effort to raise $10,000 to bankroll the NR Summer Intern program. Many thanks to you for pitching in. One contribution from Zachary included this sweet note:

I don’t have a lot to give, but I can’t let another webathon go by without contributing as much as I can. National Review has been a consistent voice of conservative wisdom and intellectual depth in my family since before I was born. May it always continue to be so. Thanks to all of you for keeping this beautiful little ship sailing for almost sixty years.
P.S. Consider my gift five Alexander Hamiltons, not two Andrew Jacksons and a Harriet Tubman.
P.P.S. A special thanks to whoever convinced David French to come aboard full time. That person deserves a raise.

Yes Z-Man you are right, especially on the double-p-s: David is something special. Terrific brain matched with terrific writing skills. Do you too feel that way? Well, maybe you could show it by sending a little token of appreciation to Bill Buckley’s magazine and website, right here.
