You know the truism about conservatives coming to Washington to
do good and staying to do well? For once the cliche fits: My real
payoff comes tonight when I attend National Review's 50th
anniversary gala. It will be held at a magical location downtown,
the National Building Museum. I heard Bill Buckley speak there a
year or two ago at the Intercollegiate Studies Institute's own 50th
anniversary dinner. Tonight will be even finer. Any event Buckley
heads is a coronation. Who else could have turned conservatism into
a magnificent celebration of life?
