A second installment on Panama and the Canal, this one with the man whom General Omar Torrijos had appointed as head of state. In terms of intellectual substance, we get the idea right from the outset that we should not expect too much ("I first of all want to thank the American people for being nice and letting me go into their living rooms through this television set"). But it is fun watching WFB try to drag a straight answer out of his guest: WFB: "Well, let me try to put it differently. Archbishop McGrath, your archbishop, wrote an article in which he said that an example of American exploitation of the treaty is that it created military installations for which it paid money at a far lesser rate than, for instance, it pays money to Spain for its installations. So my question is whether you endorse that analysis of Archbishop McGrath's." DL: "Please, he's our spiritual leader, thank the Lord." WFB: "He's not only your spiritual leader." DL: "He's my very good friend." WFB: "He's my friend too, I hope. But he's also somebody who's perfectly prepared to concern himself with secular matters, isn't he?" DL: "There you go getting deep on me again. What's wrong with you?"
