As someone who knew Sam Francis pretty well, it both delights and pains me to see how he's finally getting the recognition he deserves in this the second decade after his too-soon departure from this world.
I should note that David Brooks isn't quite right when he describes PJB as Sam's political mentor. In reality, Sam's political mentor was North Carolina Sen. John East. The relationship between Sam and PJB was that of adviser.
Now, as for George Will, it's not any more difficult than the fact that you really can't trust a "conservative" who gets paid so well by the major mainstream media and can afford a very expensive Beltway house.
