I have to re-read this. Buckley is always so erudite. There's alaso always a word I'd NEVER heard of before: excogitated. I get the meaning but I am going to have to look it up in my mother's 1914 Webster dictionary.
Ya gotta love the guy. There are WAY too few like him.

I also happen to agree with him 100% on this.

My favorite is The Winston Simplified Dictionary... circa 1927.

I missed that one. I've never seen this one either: regicidal

No need to wait. See excogitate online.
