Full Disclosure: I am author of a forthcoming book on Rusher

[edit]

Dear fellow Wikipedians,

I am author of a new book on Rusher. I promise to edit impartially and fix this page to the best of my ability, but thought I should make my history clear and open. Thank you. --Dfrisk1962 (talk) 05:30, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for mentioning this up-front. It's not a problem, as long as the sources you provide in the Wikipedia article refer to sources other than your own book! And I imagine that will be easy for you, since if you are writing a book on Rusher, you must have plenty of sources already.
Rusher is an important figure in the conservative movement, and indeed in American political history, and it's good to have his article expanded. He was a key link between the world of intellectual conservatism and the world of politics itself. He helped keep National Review in touch with what was happening in the Goldwater draft, in the Reagan campaigns (especially in 1968), and with Young Americans for Freedom. Without him, NR might have drifted into an almost academic conservatism. So many thanks for your work on this article! — Lawrence King (talk) 14:58, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
