The Humanity of William F. Buckley

Rod Dreher of the Dallas Morning News wrote an article honoring William F. Buckley. In this piece, he describes the kind of man that Buckley was. He writes
On the day Bill died, I asked a leading foreign-policy scholar
what stood out in his mind of the man. Do you know what he said? He mentioned the time he'd introduced his intern to Bill, who was a hero
to the young man. Though the room was full of swells and intellectual potentates, Bill ignored them and talked to the kid for a good long while.
That, reader, is class.
