Buckley, William F(rank), Jr.
born Nov. 24, 1925, New York, N.Y., U.S.

U.S. writer and editor.

He attended Yale University, where he was chairman of the Yale Daily News. In 1955 founded the National Review; as editor in chief, he used the journal as a forum for his conservative views. His column "On the Right" was syndicated in 1962 and eventually appeared in more than 200 newspapers. From 1966 he hosted Firing Line, a weekly television interview program in which he often employed his wit and debating skills against ideological opponents. His books include God and Man at Yale (1951), Rumbles Left and Right (1963), and a series of spy novels.
