In 1955, when William F. Buckley, Jr. published the first issue of National Review, conservatism stood at the outer margins of intellectual and political respectability. A quarter-century later, Buckley and his conservative movement had moved to the vital center of American political culture. It was an extraordinary progression, and one that can tell us much of what we need to know to make sense of American politics in our time.

It is ironic, in this putatively conservative age, that such a radical social movement as feminism should be so pervasive an influence. It would be difficult to imagine a more revolutionary transformation that could have occurred in our common life than the rearrangement
of relations between the sexes that has developed over the past two decades. What surprises even more is that this transformation should have gone so relatively unopposed and even unremarked.

Last spring I resigned as chairman of the Indiana Advisory Committee
of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. The grounds for estrangement between the commission and its critics were many, but at their heart lay fundamentally different conceptions not merely of where civil-rights policies ought to go but of how they should be defined in the first place.

Arguments about the past are almost always arguments about the present as well. Disputes ostensibly rooted in disagreement as to the nature of historical evidence often turn out to be located instead in conflicting current sensibilities.

Neoconservatism is a movement that, as far as most of its adherents are concerned, would rather not speak its name. If, by now, most neoconservatives have become resigned to the term, that is more in the nature of acceptance of the inevitable than of any positive choice. Not so with Irving Kristol, who has mockingly referred to himself as perhaps "the only living and self-confessed neoconservative, at large or in captivity."

Once upon a time American conservatism was something of an intellectual embarrassment. Yet over the past fifteen years, the pattern of better than half a century has begun to erode.
