A Man in Full

By Ben Domenech

More than any writer, more than any thinker, more than any intellectual, William F. Buckley Jr. made the modern conservative movement what it is today.

There will never be another like him. We mourn losing him with the entire National Review family. Yet we can take comfort in knowing that in this world, he lived a life without equal - and thus could be called home to the next with no regrets.

What I would give to hear whatever witty line he kept in his back pocket for greeting Saint Peter.

RIP.

More below the fold.
