Irving Kristol

Irving Kristol, Godfather of Neoconservatism, Is Dead at 89

Irving Kristol, the political commentator who, as much as
anyone, defined modern conservatism and helped revitalize the
Republican Party in the late 1960s and early 1970s,
setting the stage for the Reagan presidency and the years of
conservative dominance that followed, died Friday. He was 89.
