Today in History

November 19, 1955

National Review

The first edition of William F. Buckley's National Review was published on this day in 1955. A former Yale debater and editor of the Yale Daily News, the young Buckley wrote "God and Man at Yale" in 1951 establishing him as a serious intellectual thinker. He raised $300,000 to start National Review which he saw as an opportunity to firmly entrench the intellectual heritage of conservative thought and to marginalize the fringe elements of the conservative movement such as the John Birch Society.
