"In clearing so large a place for himself, he left a vacuum no one since has been able to fill. This is the absence so many feel today - adversaries and apostates as well as advocates and admirers. A founder of our world, he speaks to us from a different one, beyond our reach but hovering near, if only we can discover in ourselves the imagination and generosity, the kindness and warmth, that Bill Buckley demonstrated time and again in his long and singular life."
