The American Nazi Party had sought to march in the predominantly Jewish town of Skokie, Illinois, and finally had been permitted instead to march in a park in Chicago; many people had been surprised-or indeed infuriated-when the ACLU weighed in on behalf of the Nazis. Host and guests, approaching free speech from four quite different directions, shed considerable light on the bases for maintaining free speech and the theories on when it can be justifiably curtailed. One sample: WFB: "Would you defend the right of the American people by constitutional amendment to repeal the Bill of Rights?" AN: "No, because I don't derive my civil-liberties values from the Bill of Rights. I consider it fortunate that the Bill of Rights embodies the civil-liberties values that I hold, but the values come first; the particular instrument come second."
