Notes & Asides

Dear Mr. Buckley:

Being a fairly typical teenager I have recently been struggling with the concept of my mortality. In examining this problem I have determined that I should very much like to meet you before either you or I pass away and would very much enjoy the chance to talk, if only for a brief while, with the figurehead of the conservative movement in America. Furthermore, my subscription to national review is up for renewal and a meeting with you would at least double (maybe even triple) the chances of my re-subscribing. I would be more than happy to fly anywhere (short of Greenwich Village) to meet with you. Even if we do not get to meet I would like you to know that Firing Line does not go unwatched in New Orleans.
