Description

A fresh cast of grillers tries its hand, with results entertaining and sometimes

profound. Topics range from sex, to SDI, to foreign policy. Two samples: WFB: "I

think it's difficult to say we're heading towards a new Victorianism unless you suggest that any retreat from excessive libertinage is to head in the direction of Victorianism." ... "Some people laughed it off as a metaphysical romp when ten years ago I said we ought to make Israel our 51st state. Well, it was in part that, but it was in part really an attempt to suggest a transcendent relationship. If we guarantee the security of Israel to the point where people really believe it, then almost in the nature of things aggressions against Israel become unthinkable, any more than they would be against Hawaii."
