I just found out that Bill Buckley has died. I remember when I first starting reading his columns while I was in my senior year in high school. I had trouble understanding all of what he wrote, but I knew he was right. I always found it easier to read what he wrote than listen to him. His voice always put me off, but he was always courteous on the air. He loved ideas and his enthusiasm was catching.
The Times has an obituary up on their site.
