The semi-annual role reversal in which Mr. Buckley is the interrogatee--a
departure from the norm being that the panel is not composed entirely of liberals. The conversation is brisk and entertaining, although there are times when Mr. Green and Mr. Buckley trade volleys of contradictory statistics without any satisfying resolution. Better when the focus is on the moral arena: HP: "... whatever you think about abortion should be your own opinion ..., but the attempt to foist that opinion on the rest of the population would be unfair." WFB: "It's the equivalent of my saying that whatever I believe about civil rights is my business, and if I want to discriminate against people because they are black or because they are Jewish, that's my right. But you say no, it's not your right, because they have rights too.... There is an entire sophisticated culture that says babies have rights too, and they are babies two days before they are born even as they are acknowledgedly babies the day after they are born."
