William Buckley

I did my report on the death of William F. Buckley. Buckley died in his home in Stamford Conn. at the age of 82. Buckley was the host for the television program, "Firing Line". He also founded the magazine National Review. He also managed to write over 50 book. His greatest achievement was making conservatism as a system of ideas. President Bush said that Buckley “brought conservative thought into the political mainstream, and helped lay the intellectual foundation for America’s victory in the Cold War.” The most intriguing thing I've learned about Buckley, or rather something that made me think, was that many people compared his tongue to that of an anteaters.
