Heavenly diction.

In response to William F. Buckley's death, you write, "Let's pray they have a dictionary in Heaven" ("The Week," March 24). With respect, the Lord God has no need of one--he invented them. Did he not call his eternally begotten son "the Word"? Mr. Buckley will matriculate in vocabulary lessons of an even higher order.
