Yesterday’s post, an article concerning the fears of decline surrounding an influx of vulgarity to the staid Bahamas enclave of Lyford Cay, occasioned today’s rig, a belated memorial to William F. Buckley, Jr., in which his death is described as an ascendancy to that great Lyford Cay Club in the sky ...

I’ve put off getting this out, but for Iowa it’s the last minute now. A few weeks ago, George F. Will was asked if he thought voters would ultimately consolidate around Mitt Romney. Will, who has himself pointedly remarked on Romney’s historical pliability on the issues, answered yes, that it was ha ...

A lot of wit, wisdom and political theater. As for Vidal, I find him a fascinating character, first-rate essayist, second-rate writer ( A Thirsty Evil?), but I don’t follow his thinking to his grimmer vision of America, the empire. He has been condemning it for well over 40 years now, and he’s still ...

My late friend, Phil, was imperious. He lived out the cliche, “looking down his nose” at people.
