Bill Buckley didn't just write and speak about conservative philosophy and causes. He also acted to advance them. One small piece of his immense legacy is his long and ultimately successful legal fight to free radio and TV commentators from forced union membership. As a then junior Staff Attorney at the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, which provided Mr. Buckley's attorneys, I was proud to have played a small part in that important legal battle. And, it was, of course, his National Review that inspired me to get involved in the conservative movement as a college student in the early 1960s.
