Many readers already have noted that the New York Times apparently posted an obituary of Mr. Buckley that had not been updated in some time. It read, in part:

He also found time to write 45 books, ranging from sailing odysseys to spy novels to celebrations of his own dashing daily life, and edit five more. Two more books, one a political novel, and the other a history of the magazine called “Cancel Your Own Goddam Subscription” are scheduled to be published in 2007.
