Ramparts was one of the leading organs of the New Left, primarily known at this time for its attacks on the CIA and on American foreign policy generally. Messrs. Buckley and Scheer wrangle amusingly, though not always productively. WFB: "[Why don't you just say], "Sure, Bertrand Russell's anti-American, but he has a damn good right to be anti-American because during the 1960s we became a highly unlovely country and anybody who was pro-American at that point has an addled wit, to say nothing of an unserviceable moral sense?" Now why don't you say, "Yes, I too am anti-American?" RS: "Because you still haven't defined the term. And the reason I used the term is not because it is a term of my choosing but rather because Russell's critics accused him of being systematically anti-American."
