He founded National Review magazine in 1955, which had a major impact in stimulating the conservative movement; hosted 1,429 episodes of the television show Firing Line (1966–1999), where he became known for his transatlantic accent and wide vocabulary; and wrote a nationally syndicated newspaper column along with numerous spy novels. George H. Nash, a historian of the modern American conservative movement, said Buckley was "arguably the most important public intellectual in the United States in the past half century… For an entire generation, he was the preeminent voice of American conservatism and its first great ecumenical figure." Buckley's primary contribution to politics was a fusion of traditional American political conservatism with laissez-faire economic theory and anti-communism, laying groundwork for the new American conservatism of presidential candidate Barry Goldwater and President Ronald Reagan, both Republicans. Former Senate Republican leader Bob Dole said "Buckley lighted the fire". Buckley wrote God and Man at Yale (1951) and more than fifty other books on writing, speaking, history, politics, and sailing, including a series of novels featuring CIA agent Blackford Oakes. Buckley referred to himself as either a libertarian or conservative. More

The National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence (NSCAI) was an independent commission of the United States of America established in 2018 to make recommendations to the President and Congress to "advance the development of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and associated technologies to comprehensively address the national security and defense needs of the United States". It issued its final report in March 2021, saying that the U.S. is not sufficiently prepared to defend or compete against China in the AI era. The report's recommendations include: dramatically increasing non-defense federal spending on AI research and development, doubling every year from $2 billion in 2022, to $32 billion in 2026. That would bring it up to a level similar to spending on biomedical research creation of a Digital Corps to bring skilled tech workers into government; founding of a Digital Service Academy: an accredited university providing subsidized education in exchange for a commitment to work for a time in government include civil rights and civil liberty reports for new AI systems or major updates to existing systems; expanding allocations of employment-based green cards, and giving them to every AI Ph.D. graduate from an accredited U.S. university; reforming the acquisition management system Department of Defense to make it faster and easier to introduce new technologies.

Some pencil underlining and marginal marks. Scuff inside from cover. DJ has some wear and soiling. Distributed by the American Jewish Alternatives to Zionism, Inc.

The authors argue that Zionism is a principal obstacle to peace. Roselle Tekiner received academic degrees from the University of Chicago (BA), Columbia University (MA), and the City of New York Graduate Center (Ph.D), and taught at Hunter College, Fairleigh Dickinson University, New College, and Eckerd College.

She and Sami owned the Bremen House on East 86th Street and the German News Company. In 1973, Roselle Tekiner moved to Sarasota, Florida, where she met Rabbi Elmer Berger, a leader in the U.S. anti-Zionist movement.

She and Berger, champions of Palestinian rights, wrote extensively on citizenship and nationality in Israel. Their scholarly papers and correspondence are archived in the Rare Book and Manuscript Library, Columbia University. Roselle Tekiner's life is chronicled in her memoir, Go Laughing. More
