I loathed his politics, but was grateful for his mode. There is something to be said about how eloquence and precision are greeted amongst the Right vs. the Left, but I am too tired (and very ill still) to do it today.
I love one of the 1965 photos the Times published with the article. It seems strange for such a conservative to have been so beautiful.

Slashariffic! Just look at Vidal's face. Rowr!
He also had a huge hard-on for my alma mater. An honor SJC could do without, in my opinion, but he was an interesting guy, no question. Also notable that he didn't learn English until age 7. Still, what a blowhard, oy!
RIP, WFB, SOB of the GOP. They could have used more like you in recent years, but that's only a compliment by contrast.
