SACRAMENTO, Calif. - William A. Rusher, 87, a conservative strategist for more than 50 years who helped engineer Barry Goldwater's nomination as the Republican candidate for president in 1964, died Saturday in a nursing facility in San Francisco after a long illness.
Mr. Rusher's influence was felt on decades of U.S. politics, from the 1961 stirrings of the "draft Goldwater" effort to opposing Richard M. Nixon's overtures to China in the 1970s to advising Ronald Reagan's administration in the 1980s.

Mr. Rusher also helped shape the public debate through syndicated columns in newspapers around the country. He spent 31 years as publisher of the National Review, the magazine founded by William F. Buckley Jr. that was a postwar cornerstone of anticommunism and American conservative thought.

"There wasn't an active candidate or a politician who wasn't familiar with his work," said Brian Kennedy, president of the Claremont Institute, a conservative public-policy think tank in Claremont, Calif. Mr. Rusher joined the institute as a distinguished fellow after leaving the National Review in 1988.

This man's name was a dirty word in my house, along with "Hoover", "ThatshitNixon", and "Buckley". Curse words all in a Progressive home...

1. Thanks for nothing, William!

Enjoy your eternity.
