From Patrick Adcock:
Cruising Speed by William F. Buckley, Jr. is a diary-style reflection chronicling a week in the life of the notable conservative writer and commentator from November 30 to December 6, 1970. Set against a backdrop of significant historical events, including the ongoing Vietnam War and the political climate of Nixon's presidency, Buckley provides insight into his multifaceted life as an author, editor, and television personality.
