Buckley, William F., Jr.
(1925-2008)
Date CreatedAugust 20, 1973
Description
A delicious exemplar of the semi-annual occasion on which the floor is turned
over to, as WFB puts it, "several interrogators who may wish to catalyze my wisdom or tax me with my sins." We begin here with Watergate and go back and forth over the whole relation of government to the people. One sample: LH: "Mr. Buckley, you know, you surprise me because you are espousing sort of 19th-century ideals." DW: "I think he surprises even himself." WFB: "I'm not embarrassed by the 19th century. I think some of the most brilliant political insights were born then, unfortunately buried."
