His Father's Son   [Peter Robinson]

Today on Uncommon Knowledge, Christopher Buckley on William F. Buckley.



The author of the new comic novel, Supreme Courtship, finds himself telling a hilarious tale.  Arriving by train to join his father in sailing out onto Long Island Sound, Christopher discovered that a nor’easter had blown into Connecticut.  Would gale force winds deter WFB?  Of course not.

“Great men,” says Christopher Buckley, “always have up too much canvas.”

Watch.
