Buckley resigns from National Review
Christopher Buckley ’75, co-founder of the Yale Daily News magazine and son of conservative icon William F. Buckley Jr. ’50, resigned Saturday from his position as a columnist at National Review, the influential magazine his father founded five years after graduating from Yale.

God is man at Yale---and at the National Review too. Will Buckley retreat to Colombey les Deux Eglises and await the public's call to return to the throne?
