A Book of Irresistible Political Reflections

"Shortly before his death, Evelyn Waugh said of William F. Buckley, Jr., "He has the faculty of interesting you in controversies in which you are not involved. At his best, he reminds me of Belloc. At his second best, of Randolph Churchill."
Here in THE JEWELER'S EYE, he is clearly at his best. He takes on everyone and everything - Bobby Kennedy, sex, Red China, politics, beautification - you name it. But he never loses his poise or lets up in his love affair with the English language."
