I met Buckley, did an event with him in college. I was the co-organizer, had a nice pic with him. (He said of me and my co-organizers that we were living proof that an “intelligent conservative” was not an oxymoron. I had to look up oxymoron after that!)

Anyway, Bill told me that he did those kinds of speeches to subsidize NR, that it could not make it on circulations.

I’m sure that is true to the nth degree today.

Bill [Buckley] told me that he did those kinds of speeches to subsidize NR, that it could not make it on circulations.

Is that still true today? Or rather, was that still true before they decided to commit suicide with the Trump issue?

Do any of you have the time to track down who is funding them?
