Lifted Eyebrow. Buckley is everywhere in evidence these days. He writes a thrice-weekly column, "On the Right," that is carried by 205 papers. If an editor decides he needs a conservative for proper balance on the editorial page, he turns to Buckley. "He makes other conservative columnists look like guys with grey hair and dandruff," says Atlanta Journal Editor Jack Spalding. Buckley also publishes National Review, a fortnightly magazine of opinion (circ. 94,000) that manages to make conservative thought easy to read and even-at times-entertaining...
Violently Inflamed. Buckley has a fondness for far-out analogy. Last spring, when John Kenneth Galbraith appeared at a picket line of striking television employees in order to show that he would not cross it, Buckley wrote in his column: "It was a nostalgic demonstration of an old faith, rather as if Marlene Dietrich, emulating the Victorian ladies of yesteryear, were to faint upon hearing an obscenity." Buckley summed up the attitude of Texas Republicans facing the approaching presidential election: "The dilemma is how to be, at once, both a winner and a Republican. That...

Very large on campus (Torch Honor Society, Fence Club, Elizabethan Club, Skull and Bones), he became chairman of the Yale Daily News in his junior year and used its editorial column to disseminate his heterodox views...
...understood the viciousness of the creed-nor have they forgotten or forgiven. If there has been a thaw in the Soviet Union, there is no way of telling from the Review. The publication denounces the nuclear test-ban treaty as a sellout to the Russians; Burnham writes a column on foreign affairs called "The Third World War"-the Review has no doubt that it has begun. Not long ago, Buckley urged the U.S. to bomb China's nuclear installations-once due warning had been given so that civilians could be evacuated...
...free enterprise, National Review gets precious few ads. The captains of industry that it celebrates are reluctant to return the favor, largely because the magazine does not reach enough readers to suit them; profits take precedence over ideology. Besides, Buckley is not a totally reliable supporter. In one breathtaking column for the Review, he managed to equate Henry Ford's divorce with the suicides of Publisher Philip Graham and Stephen Ward, Christine Keeler's keeper. All were men, wrote Buckley "wanting in the stuff of spiritual survival." Ford yanked its advertising. BOAC, on the other hand...
