BUCKLEY, WILLIAM FRANK, JR.

1925–, American editor, author, and lecturer, b. New York City, grad. Yale, 1946. Buckley is a popular, eloquent, and witty spokesman for the conservative point of view. An editor for The American Mercury (1951–52), he founded (1955) the National Review, which soon became the leading journal of conservativism in the United States. In 1965 he was an unsuccessful candidate for mayor of New York City. He has hosted the television show "Firing Line" since 1966, and writes a syndicated newspaper column. His nonfiction includes God and Man at Yale (1951) and The Unmaking of a Mayor (1966). His novelistic accounts of the adventures of an American spy during the cold war include Saving the Queen (1976) and A Very Private Plot (1994). He also wrote The Redhunter (1999), a largely favorable fictional presentation of Sen. Joseph McCarthy's activities.

See his "autobiography of faith," Nearer, My God (1997); biography by J. Judis (1988).
