William F. Buckley Jr.: Conservative Icon

Lee Edwards, Makers of American Political Thought Series #4, Heritage Foundation, December 18, 2012.

Excerpt:

William F. Buckley Jr. was the renaissance man of modern American conservatism. He was the founder and editor in chief of National Review, a syndicated columnist, the host of Firing Line (TV’s longest-running weekly public-affairs program), the author of more than 50 books, and a college lecturer for nearly five decades. His mighty stream of words is almost surely unequalled by any other writer of the past 100 years.
