Entry: Marvels and Missed Opportunities Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/marvels_and_missed_opportunities#19312 Post contents: have any of you read national review from the 1950s? i lefed through them 20 years ago and was disappointed by the juvenile humour making disparaging references to jews and blacks. buckley craved nothing so much as establishment recognition, from his close personal friendship with teddy kennedy (a frequent guest at gstaad) or his cruel and unfair abandonment of joe sobran. he was happy to make snide cracks at black people only until those whom he thought were his social superiors decided it was outre. read the back copies before seeing how allegedly visionary and principled he was in attacking, say, the already insignificant rednecks of the john birch society. phooey.
