Acerca do autor
William Frank Buckley Jr. (November 24, 1925 - February 27, 2008) was an American conservative author and commentator. Born in New York, he spent several years studying in England and France. He served in the Army during World War II, and entered Yale in 1946, where he was chairman of the college paper. He graduated from Yale, with honors, in 1950. His first book, the bestseller God and Man at Yale, was published in 1951, in which he raised the searching question: What are today’s students being taught? He founded National Review magazine in 1955, which had a major impact in stimulating the conservative movement, hosted 1,429 episodes of the television show Firing Line (1966-1999), where he became known for his transatlantic accent and wide vocabulary, and wrote a nationally syndicated newspaper column and numerous spy novels. Barry Morris Goldwater (January 1, 1909 - May 29, 1998) was an American politician and businessman who was a five-term United States Senator from Arizona (1953-65, 1969-87) and the Republican Party’s nominee for President of the United States in the 1964 election. Despite losing the election by a landslide, Goldwater is the politician most often credited for sparking the resurgence of the American conservative political movement in the 1960s. He also had a substantial impact on the libertarian movement.
