Revels with a Cause

Living It Up with National Review: A Memoir, by Priscilla L. Buckley (Spence, 247 pp., $27.95)

DURING all those years when Bill Buckley was editor-in-chief of NATIONAL REVIEW and was simultaneously writing his thrice-weekly column, preparing for and taping his weekly Firing Line, and traveling the length and breadth of the country on the lecture circuit, somebody had to be in charge back at 150 East 35th Street. Well, that somebody has finally written down the story of those days, a story that until now had mostly been part of the oral tradition, told to entranced young staffers over lunches and at the ritual Wednesday evening Editorial Drinks.
