William F. Buckley Jr. (1925-2008) was many things, but centrally he was one of the great American journalists, whose historic achievement was the creation of National Review. Historians will look to his magazine when they seek to explain much that has happened to the America of our time. While his liberal contemporaries, such as Walter Lippman, explained and defended something that already existed, the reformist Progressive movement and the New Deal, Buckley brought into being something new, something that had no existence before—the modern conservative movement. As Boswell said at the end of his Life of Johnson, he has left a gap which nothing can fill up. http://www.takimag.com/1154/
