Monday was the 90th anniversary of the Sarajevo assassination, the event that sparked (but did not cause) World War One. Though most media were trying to deal with the early transfer of bogus sovereignty to the puppet regime in Iraq, wire services found time to note the anniversary.

On the verge of his departure from National Review, William F. Buckley sends a message to the snotty punks now running his magazine:
