...ideological. When asked by reporters in New Hampshire last week whether he was electable, Buchanan found solace in his old mentor. "Nixon and I used to talk," Buchanan recalled. "The argument was that Nixon was unelectable. He said to me, 'We will refute the naysayers by winning.'" That is Pat's logic as well...

...face than deliver a sucker punch. "I have yet to be shown what benefit this would do for the President--or for the rest of us, other than a psychological salve," Buchanan wrote in a July 8, 1971, memo now in the National Archives. After leaving the White House, Pat returned to the typewriter, turning out a syndicated column and establishing an afternoon radio show with liberal Tom Braden that eventually metamorphosed into CNN's Crossfire. Buchanan did his sparring in print and on the air, and in the new era of Shout TV, Pat delivered his blows without guilt...

They listen with radiant, upturned faces. "We can make America the great and good country we grew up in," he says with vibrato in his hoarse and weary voice.

Pat Buchanan and I had known Father McGonigal at Gonzaga College High School in Washington, D.C., in the mid-'50s, when McGonigal was the prefect of discipline there. McGonigal looked like a fire hydrant cased in a black cassock--short and squat, with iron muscle bulges. He radiated punitive rage. One morning he hammered a boy to the classroom floor with his fists and left him there with a concussion, the other boys too terrified to intervene. The Jesuits shipped McGonigal off to southern Maryland...

...Pat Buchanan was Gonzaga class of '56. I suspect that Pat's character is configured like a tree trunk, in a series of concentric rings--that his huge family and his autocratic, combative father formed the core, and that the crucial second ring, shaped in adolescence, was raw, authoritarian Gonzaga, which educated his father and then, in turn, each of the seven Buchanan brothers...
