We have to remember that we are not in charge of making things turn out all right. That’s God’s job. We are just in charge of being faithful. We are just supposed to be faithful. The rest is God’s part. — Fr. Richard John Neuhaus

A thoughtful reflection by @jennfrey at the NYT.
I wrote about the lack of administrative support for the liberal arts in @nytimes. The standard story we hear is that students don't want it. But a darker reality is that even when it wins big with students and donors it loses with those in power.

Mister, when you read Shakespeare, Shakespeare’s not on trial —you are!.—Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, on his high school English professor’s response (with full Boston accent) to a classmate making a “sophomoric, ill-founded” criticism of Hamlet.

The moment men cease to pull against [the Catholic Church] they feel a tug towards it. The moment they cease to shout it down they begin to listen to it with pleasure. The moment they try to be fair to it they begin to be fond of it. —G.K. Chesterton .

It was quite a few years ago when it happened. But, boy, did it make me angry. At the time, I was still Protestant and I was attending a Catholic Mass. The Liturgy of the Eucharist was well underway...

I agree. To the unfamiliar, this presentation seems credible. To the familiar, this presentation warps Buckley into a racist, partisan hack. To say that Buckley gave rise to Trump is akin saying Kennedy gave rise to AOC. No recognition of cultural complexity or political nuance.
It is staggering to see not one mention of Buckley's faith, musical aspirations or gift of friendship with people of all stripes. It's a lost opportunity for a program like @CBSSunday to highlight WFB the cultured man. @costareports, consider reading my book about my friendship.
