From the Washington Times, quoting Alito:

“When I first became interested in government and politics during the 1960s, the greatest influences on my views were the writings of William F. Buckley Jr., the National Review, and Barry Goldwater’s 1964 campaign,” he said.

This, you may recall, appeared in an August WT piece on John Roberts, now chief justice:

To prepare Mr. Smith for a speech before conservative groups, Judge Roberts said in a Feb. 16, 1982, memo that he reviewed all the issues of National Review, Conservative Digest and Human Events since Mr. Reagan’s inauguration — as well as policy papers put out by the Heritage Foundation “and sundry other tracts.”

At NR’s 50th anniversary dinner, it was revealed (I believe for the first time publicly) that the cool, discerning Chief Roberts is a long-time NR subscriber.
