This is a superb article by Buckley.

Others who seek to criticize Kennedy worship - in particular Christopher Hitchens - should be forced to read this and see a master at work; command of the facts, easy to read and understand, no ad-hominems, credit and criticism where due.

I thought Buckley was over-the-hill. Apparently I was wrong.

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.
