I have always enjoyed his commentary in Human Events.
Are there any other former YAF'ers out there? I attended the national convention in the summer of 1969[?] in St. Louis.
I met Al Capp at dinner. Capp was embroiled in a defamation of character suit with Joan Baez. He had a cartoon character named Joanie Phony in his Lil Abner comic strip.
Right here, Watchman. Came in right out of "Youth For Goldwater" and met Bill Buckley when I was 15 -- what a thrill! I have many fond memories of reading Stan Evans's columns in NR back in its glory period -- WFB, Rusher, Russell Kirk, Erik von Kuenheldt-Lehddin, James Burnham, Ralph de Toledano (his cool jazz reviews), Frank Meyer, Nika Standon Hazleton -- exciting times, weren't they? I used to man the YAF tables at Penn State, peddling Milton Friedman books and Ronald Reagan buttons. I remember the Al Capp business with Joan Baez. Very entertaining. Other YAFers from back in the day, make yourselves known.
I was in YAF for a few years also. I remember holding a protest outside the IBM building in Chicago one frigid night - I think IBM was doing business with the Commies - and although it was across the street from the Chicago Sun-Times, the paper wouldn't send a reporter over to cover it. A pro ERA demo, with about one-third of the participants we had, made it into the next day's paper. I figured out MSM bias pretty early.
