520    William F. Buckley Jr., was the foremost architect of the 
       conservative movement that swept the American political 
       landscape from the 1960s to the early 2000s. When Buckley 
       launched National Review in 1955, conservatism was a 
       beleaguered, fringe segment of the Republican Party. Three
       decades later Ronald Reagan-who credited National Review 
       with shaping his beliefs-was in the White House. Buckley 
       and his allies devised a new-model conservatism that 
       replaced traditional ideals with a passionate belief in 
       the free market, religious faith, and an aggressive stance
       on foreign policy. Buckley was an eloquent writer and 
       brilliant polemicist whose works are still required texts 
       for conservatives. His TV show Firing Line and his 
       campaign for mayor of New York City made him a celebrity; 
       his wit and zest for combat made conservatism fun. But 
       Buckley was far more than a controversialist. Deploying 
       his uncommon charm, shrewdly building alliances, and 
       refusing to compromise on core principles, he almost 
       single-handedly transformed conservatism from a set of 
       retrograde attitudes into a revolutionary force. 
520    Documents the legacy of a leading architect of the 
       American conservative movement, tracing his 1955 launch of
       the influential "National Review" and his television show 
       "Firing Line," as well as his role in promoting modern 
       values about the free market, religion, and an aggressive 
       foreign policy.
