I know what Jonah means about a life well-lived, as Billโs certainly was, but itโs still hard to believe thereโll be no more Buckley columns on this weekโs news, and next weekโs and next monthโs, and hard not to feel cheated that we were denied a nonagenarian Buckley sailing on in vigorous health toward his next century. I liked the way Rich put it at the 50th anniversary gala, after the announcement of some highly technical-bureaucratic change in Billโs title or responsibilities: โThis is still Bill Buckleyโs National Review, and it will always be Bill Buckleyโs National Review.โ Just so.
