Buckleys' command of language is simply amazing. Always has been a great read.
Now there's a new kid on the block. His name is Mark Steyn and he's as wordy and witty as Buckley in his prime. Maybe even better, IMHO.
Steyn's great too.
Unfortunately, they too, like us, have their good and bad days. When they're good, they're great. When they're bad...well.
So I can never abandon my critical faculties, never take them as gospel. Work, work, work...it never stops.
