In boldy choosing CHANGE, Chris Buckley has simply demonstrated his far superior intellect, breeding, and subtlty than the mental defect plebes like his father, and Roger Kimball. Mr. Buckley;s intelligence is sublime enough to realize that the old obtuse America of pride, simplistic values, and traditional worldview needs to CHANGE. Old war heroes and hockey moms, flagwavers and free marketeers, are utterly droll, gauche, and passé in the new America, the one emerging from the academia halls of Harvard, to the golf courses of Block Island, from the sushi bars of Georgetown, to the spas of South Beach.
