Question: Nine years after  Bill Buckley âs death  reflecting on his Catholic life
William F. Buckley Jr. died nine years ago today. When I announced his death on the website  a stream of e-mails poured in testifying to what an impact he had on people âs  lives by his presence â in print  on television  and in person. Person after person told of the one time they met him  and in each case the story was nearly identical:  Bill  treated them like they were the most important person in the world. Priests and at least one religious sister shared the influence his public Catholicism had on them. Others said that while their own father wasnât in the picture when they were growing up   Bill  was a reliable presence in their lives with wisdom  even if only via Firing Line.
When I interviewed  Bill  for Crisis back in the mid Nineties   he  inspired me with two comments: One  that  he  prayed the Rosary every day. Two  that  he  had had a love affair with Jesus Christ since his childhood  when He answered his prayers about his mother  who was going through a very difficult pregnancy.
Following the interview  I began describing  Bill  as the Saint Paul of the modern conservative movement. Saint Paul because (a)  Bill  was a true believer in  his  faith and philosophy  spreading both wherever  he  traveled; and (b)  he  was an apostle of caritas. âThough I speak with the tongues of men and angels  and have not love  I am no better than a clanging gong or a brass bell.â So many  many acts of charity throughout his life. He proselytized for conservatism for nearly 60 years  sustained by his deep faith.
 Bill  was the opposite of ostentatious in  his  religious observances. But any close friend could see that prayer occupied an important place in the spiritual economy of  his  life. I think  he  would have liked what the novelist Anthony Trollope had to say about such matters. In the late 1850s  Trollope wrote:
I suppose we might cavil over the deflationary phrase âamuse himselfâ â perhaps âengageâ or âoccupyâ would have been better â but in essentials  I think  Bill  would have smiled on Trollopeâs enumeration of duties. And it was the prelude  the recognition that our sojourn here on earth is ineluctably short  be it full of years or  like that of Lessingâs son  numbered in hours only  that distributes weight to the obligations articulated.
Pascal expresses the discomfiting aspect of this humbling recognition  the side that pushes people into graduate seminars in philosophy and the therapistâs couch.  Bill  did not have much time for this allotrope of existential anxiety.  He  recognized  as  he  put it in  his  magnificent account of  his  visit to Lourdes  that âfrom the day of birth  we are on our deathbed.â But if  he  found in it a private inspiration to prayer   he  publicly embraced it as a goad to action and enjoyment  not paralysis.  His  focus was adamantly outward  blissfully with the particularities of  his  latest adventure. Socrates may or may not have been right that âthe unexamined life is not worth living.â  Bill  indisputably demonstrated that the unexamined world just wonât cut it. âThe entertainment committee â  he  liked to say  ânever sleeps.â
Our secular age is unfriendly to Catholics  to religion generally  but the irony is that secularists are often less jubilantly worldly than their Jewish and Christian compatriots. âGod made the world and saw that it was good.â That bulletin from Genesis might have been the motto of  Bill Buckleyâs  life.  He  certainly did everything  he  could to broadcast it among  his  many friends. I have never known a more generous person. I do not mean only materially generous  though Billâs largesse in that department was legendary. I mean spiritually  constitutionally generous as well.
Billâs generosity was perhaps most solicitous in matters touching on religious faith. I think of  his  account  alternately moving and amusing  of the last days of  his  National Review colleague Frank Meyer. In  his  last illness  Meyer struggled with the momentous decision of whether to convert to Catholicism.  Bill  was a tireless emissary between Meyer and various confidants.  Bill  reports that Meyer  from his bed of woe  complained that âthe only remaining intellectual obstacle to his conversion was the collectivist implication lurking in the formulation âthe communion of saintsâ in the Apostlesâ Creed.â Two days before the end  Meyer somehow overcame that final obstacle  partly  I like to think  with the help of Billâs armory of arguments.
Another anecdote: Everyone knows that  Bill  commanded a formidable vocabulary. It was significant  therefore  that he should have telephoned us once in search of a word. âIt means taking pleasure in the misfortune of others â he said to my wife. âSchadenfreude?â she ventured. âThatâs it!â he said and rang off. How perfectly Buckleyesque that he should have forgotten it. It named an emotion that was as foreign to him as joy was native.
When I met  Mr. Buckley   I was a sophomore in college  and even at a distance of all these years  I know that what most struck me about  him  then was what might be called a certain Catholic matter-of-factness: not in the sense of nonchalance in approaching matters of faith  but just the opposite. From  his  lifetime of familiarity with the Lord came an ease of conversation about  Him  and a givenness that  his  life was firmly situated within the context of a lived discipleship in the middle of the Church.
 Father Gerald E. Murray
Bill Buckley  went on pilgrimage to Our Ladyâs shrine in Lourdes a few years before  he  set out on the final pilgrimage to eternity. I was a chaplain on that trip and spent time with  Bill .  He  remarked that at Lourdes  he  felt completely free from the ordinary sense of time and schedules.  He  must have experienced the heavenly sense of Lourdes. When the Blessed Virgin Mary came down to speak with Bernadette Soubirous in 1858  eternity entered into time and left a lasting mark on a faraway corner of France. Time is a measurement of change; eternity is beyond change  for it is the perfection of everything we seek when we pursue the true  the good  and the beautiful.
 Bill  spent  his  lifetime resisting those who impossibly sought to âimmanentize the eschatonâ by violence  deceit  and deception. The eschaton is reserved for the next life. A sweet foretaste  however  is offered when and where God chooses to intervene in human history. Lourdes is such a place  and  Bill  knew by conviction  and now by experience  that Catholicism blesses her children with such joyful experiences of the fundamental truth that God is good. That joy transports us  if only for a moment  out of the limited horizon of daily life. That joy allows us to return to our daily schedule knowing it all has a meaning and higher purpose as we journey to eternity.  Bill Buckley  was a pilgrim who sought and upheld truth and goodness in the great struggle against the 20th centuryâs promoters of lies and evil. We are all in his debt. Requiescat in pace.

Question: "We -LSB- Republicans -RSB- have to win in November 2016 ," Cruz added later in the program . 
Cruz 's father , a pastor , is also expected to help the 44-year-old first-term senator make inroads with these voters . 
Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz , ticking off a litany of President Obama policies he opposes , promised Monday to return to a government by Constitution and "stand for liberty" as he officially announced his 2016 presidential bid . 
Cruz is already a familiar figure on the circuit for presidential hopefuls , having made repeated visits to the early voting states , the big conservative activist conferences and more . 
Cruz , speaking to an energetic crowd of students at Liberty University in Lynchburg , Va. , drew from his background to address his faith and what he sees for the future of the country . 
By announcing what has long been obvious , Cruz triggers a host of accounting and reporting requirements about money he is raising and how he is spending it . 
Cruz continued his pledge by telling the crowd to "imagine a president who says I will honor the Constitution and under no circumstances will Iran be allowed to acquire a nuclear weapon ." 
For his announcement , Cruz bypassed Texas , which he represents in the Senate , as well as early nominating states such as New Hampshire , where Mitt Romney kicked off his own campaign for the GOP nomination in 2012 , and Iowa . 
The son of an American mother and Cuban-born father , Cruz is positioning himself to become potentially the nation 's first Hispanic president . 
While he was born in Canada , two lawyers who represented presidents from both parties at the Supreme Court recently wrote in the Harvard Law Review that they think Cruz meets the constitutional standard to run . 
Cruz spoke on the fifth anniversary of Obama 's health care law -- legislation that prompted Cruz to stand for more than 21 hours in the Senate to denounce it in a marathon speech that delighted his Tea Party constituency and other foes of the law . 
Cheers rose in the hall when Cruz reminded the crowd Monday that Liberty University filed a suit against the law right after its enactment . 
Should he fail to win the nomination or the presidency , Cruz would retain his Senate seat through 2019 . 
Cruz earlier declared his candidacy via a Twitter post early Monday , becoming the first major candidate to officially declare . 
"It 's time to get in there ," Cruz told Fox News ' Sean Hannity Monday night . 
A 30-second video accompanying the tweet featured Cruz speaking over a montage of farm fields , city skylines and American landmarks and symbols , calling on "a new generation of courageous conservatives to help make America great again ." 
By getting in early -- and at Liberty -- Cruz was hoping to claim ownership of the influential and highly vocal corner of the Republican Party for whom cultural issues are supreme . 
"I 'm ready to stand with you to lead the fight ," Cruz says as the video concludes . 
Cruz , a divisive figure in his own party , is not expected to be the sole GOP contender for long .

Answer: Sen. Ted Cruz announces presidential bid , vows to ` stand for liberty ' . 


Question: Long Artwork Is A Sign Of Peace Lebanese twins  Omar  and Mohamed Kabbani painted " salam " — the Arabic word for peace — in bright green across 82 rooftops in the northern city of Tripoli . NPR ' s Ari Shapiro speaks with  Omar  about the ambitious art project that can only be seen from the sky . ARI SHAPIRO   HOST : In Lebanon   twin brothers welcomed the new year with a work of art nearly a mile long . Mohamed and  Omar Kabbani  are 34 - year - old graffiti artists . They painted the rooftops of more than 80 buildings lime green . Seen from above   the green roofs spell out salam   which means peace in Arabic . The brothers hope it will help change how people think of their home .  OMAR KABBANI  : Whenever they talk about the Middle East or Lebanon   all they think about is extremism and terrorism . By painting a big word   salam   we want to show people that we ' re creative and positive things coming out from the Middle East . I think we made our goal happen . SHAPIRO :  Omar Kabbani  joined us from Lebanon on Skype to explain how  he  and  his  brother Mohamed put this project together . KABBANI : We had this idea almost three years ago   and we wanted to paint a big word that can be seen from space . We chose the northern part of Lebanon   an area - a region called Tripoli . It ' s the second biggest city in Lebanon . There was   like   two fighting militias fighting a small civil war between two areas   and we decided to go up and paint the word salam above this area in particular . We recruited 62 ex - militiamen or ex - fighters . KABBANI : So basically they dropped their guns and they started helping us with painting their own rooftops . SHAPIRO : And I understand some of these buildings had bullet holes . Some of them were uninhabitable . You could really see the signs of the violence in this neighborhood . It was a battle zone . There ' s plenty of bullets . The buildings were on fire . So it was funny but sad at the same moment . Like   when we used to go up to scout   they used to tell us   yeah   I used to sit here and point my sniper rifle . So ... SHAPIRO : Wow . KABBANI : It was like a really true story . Like   people who lived violence and lived   like   war started going up to their rooftop without the fear of being shot . SHAPIRO : I imagine that for some of these fighters who had sat on these rooftops with guns   to come back to those rooftops and paint them bright green to spell out the word peace must have been a very emotional experience . KABBANI : It was very challenging for us . And it was challenging for them . We stayed there for three weeks . Every day   we go up . And you can hear their stories . And you know   like   they are in rock bottom   complete poverty . So whenever someone gives them   like - I don ' t know - a small amount of money   they would go and hold the gun and start shooting . But if the people give them an opportunity to work   they will work . There are   like   really good - hearted people . They want to do something positive . And we used not just bright green paint - regular paint . We used   like - it ' s anti - leakage   and it prevents from - anti - UV also .  SHAPIRO  : Oh   like waterproof and reflecting the sun   so it cools the houses and keeps them dry . So it has - so people were really happy that we ' re in a way fixing the rooftops   you know ?  SHAPIRO  : Has the crew actually seen the finished work of art - because you can really only see it from a drone . There are photographs   but you could be standing on one of these rooftops and not know that it ' s spelling out the word salam . KABBANI : Yeah   of course . When we first briefed them about the project   we showed them what we were painting . And   like   every two days   we flew a drone to show them and for us to see the progress of the work . And of course   we showed them the end results . SHAPIRO : Omar Kabbani   thanks a lot . KABBANI : You ' re welcome . SHAPIRO :  Omar Kabbani     his  brother Mohamed and their crew painted more than 80 rooftops in the Lebanese city of Tripoli to say salam - peace in Arabic .  He  ' s looking forward to Google updating its map images so everyone who searches for the city can see the artwork . ( SOUNDBITE OF TOBACCO ' S " SPIRITS OF PERVERSION ") Copyright © 2018 NPR .
