Is God and Man at Yale any good if I hate people who go to schools like that but don't share Buckley's political views?

Vidal, he went in with ad hominem slander of Buckley as a cryptofascist. If your adversary has stopped attempting serious logical argument, you have every right to throw shit back.

Is the national review reputable now?
