Entry: William F. Buckley Jr. as I Knew Him Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/william_f_buckley_as_i_knew_him#18235 Post contents: Conventional wisdom notwithstanding, not every tragedy requires "closure" - but every love story does. As tough as it was to hear about Buckley's agonizing loneliness after Pat's death, it helped take the sting off hearing the news of his own passing this afternoon. The lovers are reunited; and the universe, so callous and remote as a rule, allows itself a rare moment of benignity. Sent at: 2008 08 08
