Mr. Buckley, editor of National Review, first provoked
public attention by his best-selling book, God and
Man at Yale, published in 1951. In it Mr. Buckley
raised the urgent and searching question: What are
today's students being taught? The book was probably
the most widely reviewed of the year.

As editor of National Review, Mr. Buckley has led
a team of the greatest conservative writers in America,
including Whittaker Chambers, John Chamberlain,
James Burnham, Willmoore Kendall, Max Eastman,
Frank Meyer, and Brent Bozell. The magazine has
sought to revitalize the conservative faith, and in the
three years of its existence has risen to the circulation
level of its influential left-wing counterpart, The New
Republic.

Mr. Buckley is a well-known and challenging
speaker and debater who has lectured widely over
the United States, and on television and radio pro-
grams.

Born in New York in 1925, Mr. Buckley spent years
studying in England and France. He served in the
Army during World War II, and entered Yale in 1946,
where he was chairman of the college paper. He grad-
uated from Yale, with honors, in 1950.
