Bob Colacello, Vanity Fair, January 2009.

Excerpt:

They called each other “Ducky.” And they died within months of each other, in April 2007 and February 2008, as if William F. Buckley Jr., the famously polysyllabic founder of the modern conservative movement (and of its literary flagship, the National Review), could not go on without Patricia, the equally opinionated social lioness he’d married 57 years earlier. Talking to Nancy Reagan, Henry Kissinger, and the Buckleys’ only child, Christopher, who has been making his own headlines, the author explores the complex connections—political, intellectual, and romantic—behind the ineffably stylish world of Pat and Bill.
