I greatly admire Buckley. I do not read him much, but I think he is
brilliant. His "down the nose" attitude is, somehow, appealing. When we
lived
in NY, he ran for mayor of NYC. He was a hoot. LBJ made a big deal of
coming
to New York to endorse the Democratic candidate. When asked what he
thought
of this turn of events, he stated the he(Buckley) was relieved, since he
was
worried momentarily thinking Johnson was coming to endorse him!
