...language purist," says Buckley. "Bad grammar was for him like dirt under the fingernail." Buckley developed his father's respect for words, and used them freely, furiously and all too literally. While attending Millbrook School in New York, he appeared uninvited at a faculty meeting and proceeded to complain about his teachers' politics-too liberal, of course. Even his father felt constrained to admonish him: "I like very much your attitude of having strong convictions, but you will have to learn to be more moderate in the expression of your views and to express them...
Though he resists suggestions that he has become a liberal in any sense, Buckley admits to being "less insistent on rhetorical purity than I was a few years back.

Usually an eloquent backer of the President's Viet Nam policy, the Washington Post was disturbed by his latest comments on the war. "The President's speech and other...
...Maharishi has been sharply criticized by other Indian sages, who complain that his program for spiritual peace without either penance or asceticism contravenes every traditional Hindu belief. His critics are also upset by the Maharishi's claim that the Bhagavad Gita, Hinduism's epic religious poem, has been wrongly interpreted by most previous commentators. The Maharishi contends that its real lesson is that "any man, without having to renounce his way of life, can enjoy the blessings of all these paths" by simply following his own meditative technique...
