Description

Mr. Rubin had just published Growing (Up) at 37, and WFB seeks to explore

whether Mr. Rubin has in fact done so, but more generally whether "the disease of the late Sixties [is] something against which most Americans are safely inoculated." In this often uproarious hour, Messrs. Rubin and Rader regret some of the causes they supported then (like the Khmer Rouge) but are unshakably proud that, as Mr. Rubin puts it, "I was part of a generation that risked jail, that risked physical injury ... to oppose a war that was destructive to America." ... WFB: "It does seem to me terribly odd that you should use this forum to say that the Attorney General was wrong to prosecute our guest of honor, Mr. Rubin here, for a crime which he just finished writing a book admitting he committed." DR: "You put your foot in it then, Jerry."
