Host Buckley, William F., Jr. (1925-2008)

Description

Combining depth of learning with breadth of experience, Dr. von Habsburg ranges over European integration, decolonialization in Africa, and the gerontocracy in the Soviet Union. One sample from this illuminating hour: OvH: "I very much believe in the Anglo-Saxon system personally, which means that the constitution has to grow slowly. We have committed in Europe, all too frequently, the error of making an intellectual constitution--" WFB: "Like Rousseau's for Poland." OvH: "Exactly, and the result has been catastrophic, while the constitutions which grow naturally, step by step, are those which are the most successful, and I hope this will be our [Europe's] case, too."
