It was two years since the Watts riots, and Mayor Yorty was regularly attacked by his fellow Democrats for the way he handled that situation. But, as Mr. Buckley says, "he is well equipped to fight back." WFB: "Do you consider yourself actively, or negligibly, responsible for the Watts crisis?" SY: "... I wouldn't want to consider myself responsible for the explosion, and neither will I consider myself responsible for the two summers during which Los Angeles has not had an explosion while other cities have had it." The discussion ranges productively from the vagaries of our judicial system, to the possible effects of television in stirring up racial animosities, to the details of how the LAPD handled Watts.
