428-437 – Richard Brookhiser, long-time journalist for National Review (nationalreview.com) and author of many excellent books on the founding fathers, including his classic Founding Father: Rediscovering George Washington, published back in 1996. Larry Arnn said it's one of – if not – the best book on George Washington ever written. He had his first article published in National Review when he was a sophomore in high school! And he turned down his acceptance to Yale Law School to work for National Review full time, and became the senior editor at 23. Although we now celebrate Washington's Birthday on President's Day, his actual birthday is today, February 22nd. His most recent book is entitled Right Time, Right Place: Coming of Age with William F. Buckley Jr. and the Conservative Movement.
