For my Buckley/Bozell piece I didn't go enough into how off the rail (sometimes in good ways) Bozell was in 1960s/1970s when he rejected standard Republicanism for open revolt. Started praising Black Power, Irish republicanism & spelling America as Amerika.

As I wrote yesterday, it's easy but mistaken to dismiss Bozell Jr. as a freak or a clown. He was connected to powerful people and his brand of Catholic integralism remains a vital tendency with many adherents.

I'll no doubt return to Bozell in due course but in the meantime this piece gives the main story:https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/bozell-buckley-right-violence/ …

Confess I really didn't know what happened to Bozell, which always seemed odd since he kind of drops out of the NR/Buckley narrative pretty early and yet he spawned a descent of failsons v much part of the movement

Failsons but also, crucially, the TradCath movement and integralism, which has some very high-profile advocates. Bozellism is more popular among Bishops now then when he was alive. Look at their hostility to Biden.
