Hold That Baton

Readers on Ann Coulter: pro and con. Stop stagflation now! Hillary's revenge. Plus more.

(Page 4 of 12)

We shall not see his like again/ Amidst life's endless trial/ But God be thanked for blessing us/ He gave us Buckley for a while.

p>I hope there are typewriters in Heaven. br> -- Mike Showalter br> Austin, Texas /p>

For me, the mere mention or sight of Bill Buckley's name for the past twenty plus years has reflexively conjured fond recollections of my first boss after college, and my first roommate. Both of these guys were extraordinarily conservative, intelligent and humorous, and given as well to a potent touch of irreverence on the side every now and again. They were also WFB acolytes in the extreme.

p>In the end, the very company that Mr. Buckley attracted says about him pretty much all that one needs to know. br> -- Francis M. Hannon, Jr., br> Melrose, Massachusetts /p> p> Most interesting. Leave it to Mr. Tyrrell to his view of the field all on the table. I am comfortable in the proposal Ann Coulter now carries the torch, she is brilliant, she is clearly extremely conservative, and she can take the battle to our political enemies as necessary. His throwing this idea into the debate will simply infuriate the left and even NRO I suspect how appropriate.
