WM. F. BUCKLEY JR.
I am advised by my conscience that I have not done my duty this season, not until I pay my respects to Adam Clayton Powell Jr. I confess that I need to drag myself to the typewriter to perform the ritual. In days gone by, when the Reverend Powell was a hero to significant members of the Liberal community, it was different. I have expended, in my lifetime, as much first-class indignation on the rascal as on anybody in the world, regardless of race, color, or creed. And it was not, by the way, all that long ago that everyone agreed to hate Adam.
