RIP, Bill Buckley
From Kathryn Lopez at the Corner:
I’m devastated to report that our dear friend, mentor, leader, and founder William F. Buckley Jr., died overnight in his study in Stamford, Connecticut.
After year of illness, he died while at work; if he had been given a choice on how to depart this world, I suspect that would have been exactly it. At home, still devoted to the war of ideas.
….. our fervent prayer that we continue to do WFB’s life’s work justice.
I’ll second that.

UPDATE: Buckley’s obituary at NRO, which will surely saturate us in a positive way in the next few days, is here.
UPDATE 2: Michelle Malkin (of course) and AllahPundit at Hot Air are all over it. The AP story at Breitbart also has several good links in the left frame.
