...some, like Writer Pete Hamill, the unusual family to which both men belong is an American version of the Castle Irish, a hated nobility. To admirers, the Buckleys represent what is good in family life: unselfconscious affection, vitality, devotion to excellence, a felicitous mix of principle and hedonism. The ten Buckley children received a steady stream of good-humored, constructive memoranda from their frequently traveling father, William F.
