Cancel Your Own Goddam Subscription by William Buckley Jr

Cancel Your Own Goddam Subscription by William Buckley Jr

National Review has always published letters from readers. In 1965 the magazine decided that certain letters merited different treatment, and William F. Buckley, the editor, began a column called Notes & Asides" in which he personally replied to the most notable and outrageous correspondence. Culled from four decades of the column, Cancel Your Own Goddam Subscription includes exchanges with such well-known figures as Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon, John Kenneth Galbraith, A.M. Rosenthal, Auberon Waugh, Arthur Schlesinger Jr., and many others. There are also hilarious exchanges with ordinary readers, as well as letters from Buckley to various organizations and government agencies. Combative, brilliant, and uproariously funny, Cancel Your Own Goddam Subscription represents Buckley at his mischievous best.

"No attack or criticism from any quarter escapes (Buckley's) attention or fails to draw a riposteOr perhaps he is just someone who has to have the last word on everything." Daily Telegraph"
