His early years were spent on the family estate in Sharon, Conn., where he was raised by Mexican household help. His first language was Spanish; he mastered English while attending day school in London. He entered the military shortly before the end of World War II, and then found his way to Yale, from which he graduated in 1950. He worked briefly for the CIA. Buckley is an award-winning author and the acknowledged founding father of modern conservative thought in America. As a syndicated columnist since 1962, the host of TV's Firing Line since 1965, and the editor of National Review for forty-two years.
