First Bill Buckley now Bill Safire. Two of the few remaining intelligent conservatives within the space of so short at time.

Meanwhile the movement they both were so identified with - the movement they both tried to defend from the criminals and kooks - continues to implode. Isn't life wonderful?

Noticed WikiSource has a copy since gov docs are public domain.
