William F. Buckley, who is credited by many for being the center of gravity for the conservative political movement in the US, has died at age 82.
Buckley became famous for his intellectual political writings in his magazine, the National Review. While the source of scorn and frustration to many liberals, he leaves a profound legacy and impact in media.
The AP’s obituary examined the many facets of Buckley’s career: “Editor, columnist, novelist, debater, TV talk show star of ‘Firing Line,’ harpsichordist, trans-oceanic sailor and even a good-natured loser in a New York mayor’s race, Buckley worked at a daunting pace, taking as little as 20 minutes to write a column for his magazine, the National Review.”
