With correct link:Garry Wills pens a reflective piece on his longtime association with William Buckley, his political oppositehttp://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200907/william-buckley. Some interesting stuff here and gives further insight into Buckley, coming on the heels of Christopher Buckley's book on his mom and dad that is out now. I've always thought that Buckley would have been fun to hang out with. I read a piece once where it talked about how he hosted hellacious parties where he would stock the bar with cases of hard liquor, along with one or two bottles of white wine for the pantywaists attending. He'd invite everyone--conservatives, liberals, bidness men, actors, etc. and then watch them tank up and the sparks fly. Wish I could have made one.

Don't see a link to the article. As a general rule, I disagree with most everything Garry Wills has to say. We'll see about this one.
Corrected.
