Buckley offers not so much an ideological evaluation of McCarthy as a portrait of a live character and force of nature--country-boy chicken farmer, charmer, weasel, patriot, bully, loose cannon and for all that, the spokesman for a valid American intuition (fear, if you like).

The personal items found in the library, as well as those recovered from the commons area outside the cafeteria, have been moved to the auditorium for retrieval -- except for the items still being held as evidence in a case that police seem reluctant to close.
