*National Review is reporting that Priscilla Buckley died this morning at age 90.

 

She lived a long, happy, productive, generous life.

 

The sister of legendary National Review founder William F. Buckley, Priscilla Buckley has been described as the "backbone" of the magazine that came to be the bible of the modern conservative movement in America.

Priscilla Buckley worked largely behind-the-scenes to help make National Review what it is today. She served as managing editor of the magazine for many years but her influence extended far beyond her title as her brother relied heavily on her as he built the National Review empire and fueled the conservative movement to prominence.

She and Bill are reunited...and what a reunion that must be!

O death, where is your sting? O grave, where is your victory?
