(Scott Johnson) Even as a mindless teen-age liberal I read Bill Buckley's syndicated column in the St. Paul Pioneer Press. I even learned something from it. I looked up the words I didn't understand in the dictionary. Reading Buckley was my preparation for the Verbal portion of the SAT exam. Reading Buckley and looking up the exotic vocabulary he employed might have constituted overpreparation, even back in those somewhat more rigorous days.
