 Photos of William F. Buckley at the 92nd Street Y in 1974, 2001 with Jeff Greenfield and a group shot featuring Katie Couric, novelist Walter Mosley, Congressman Barney Frank, writer Roger Rosenblatt and the Y's own Susan Engel in 2000.
Current National Review editor Rich Lowry writes on the passing of William F. Buckley, founder of the magazine and, by all accounts, today's conservative movement: As I think I saw someone write in the last day or so, his attitude to life was, "always forward." One of the reasons he was so captivating to his friends is that he always gave them the sense that if they would lash themselves to him, they'd be in for the ride of a lifetime...I have a hard time imagining editing National Review without Bill Buckley to read it, and send us memos about what he liked and what he didn't. Now I'll always wonder. Buckley appeared at the Y seven times from 1974 to 2001. Lowry will be making his first this Sunday with Jeff Greenfield. Always forward.
First, a look back to Buckley's April 2001 talk with Jeff Greenfield at the Y. In the audio clip below they talk about George W. Bush's first 100 days as President and the oratory skills of leaders.
