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.

Answer: William F. Buckley Jr.: Catholic Faith Was Central to His Life


Question: A woman says  Al Franken  pulled her in tightly and put  his  hand on her buttocks in 2010 while posing for a picture at the Minnesota State Fair  the second allegation of improper conduct against the Democrat and first involving  his  time as a senator.
Menz's story comes days after a Los Angeles broadcaster  Leeann Tweeden  accused  Franken  of forcibly kissing her during a 2006 USO tour.  Franken  already faced a Senate ethics investigation over Tweeden's allegation  but the Menz allegation is potentially more damaging for  Franken  because it would be behavior that occurred while  he  was in office.
 Franken   a Democrat  told CNN  he  didn't remember taking the photo with Menz  but said in a statement to the network that  he  feels badly that she felt disrespected.
"I take thousands of photos at the state fair surrounded by hundreds of people  and I certainly don't remember taking this picture "  Franken  told CNN. "I feel badly that Ms. Menz came away from our interaction feeling disrespected."
 Franken 's office did not respond to repeated Associated Press messages seeking comment on the latest allegations.
With the Capitol empty due to Thanksgiving break  reaction to the latest allegations against  Franken  were muted compared to an outcry last week â and Democrats nationally and in Minnesota were silent.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell  a Republican  repeated a statement from Thursday calling for an ethics investigation of  Franken . After publicly denouncing  Franken 's conduct and supporting that investigation last week  no powerful Democrats had spoken out by Monday afternoon about Menz's allegations.
Menz said she told her husband  Jeremy Menz  and father Mark Brown about it right away. Both men affirmed that to CNN. Menz also said she posted the photo with Franken on Facebook on Aug. 27  2010  and when her sister commented on the photo  she replied: "Dude -- Al Franken TOTALLY molested me! Creeper!"
Franken canceled a sold-out book festival appearance scheduled for Monday in Atlanta to speak and promote his book  "Al Franken  Giant of the Senate." He hasn't appeared in public since Tweeden's allegation.

Answer: 2nd woman accuses Sen. Al Franken of inappropriate touching


Question: Media mergers and acquisitions are a hot button topic. And while  Lions Gate Chairman Michael Burns  applauds the recent deal between Disney and Twenty-first Century Fox   he  says not all media deals are created equal.
 Burns  had nothing but good things to say about Disney's more than $52 billion deal with  Fox   arguing the mega-merger serves Lions Gate  a production and distribution company known for such films as the "Hunger Games" series.
"I think the deal is good for us  it certainly validates content  " Burns  said on CNBC's "Fast Money."
Lions Gate  which not only produces films  but has 45 shows on 90 different platforms is diverse enough to survive   Burns  said. And it helps that the big deal will strengthen smaller players  like Hulu  which can then purchase more content from Lions Gate.
It also helps Lions Gate   Burns  said  by reducing competitors in the market.
"I would guess they'll stick to big franchises  the movies they can promote in theme parks "  he  said. "I think the movies will have fewer big  wide releases than the two as separate companies."
When it comes to Time Warner and AT&T  the two companies whose talks have been called "illegal" by the Justice Department   Burns  isn't quite so confident.  He  said  he  worries the deal would give the conglomerate a monopoly  and create incentive to hurt smaller companies.
"What's most important to us is to make sure that we  if approved  are treated fairly. If we're not going to be treated fairly  then of course we would be against it "  Burns  said.
And Lions Gate isn't just sitting idly by.  Burns  said the company has been approached by regulators to give their opinions on the matter.
"We are more than an interested party "  he  added.

Answer:
Lions Gate chairman on AT&T Time Warner: 'We're more than an interested party'
