Collection TitleFiring Line broadcast records
Host
Buckley, William F., Jr.
(1925-2008)
Date CreatedJanuary 19, 1988
Description
This is only the second time that Firing Line has paused to mark the passing of a
favorite guest (the first being the tribute to Allard Lowenstein, #S415). This show
includes delicious excerpts from Mrs. Luce's four Firing Line appearances, and
concludes with Mr. Buckley's eulogy at her memorial Mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral in
Manhattan: "Clare Luce, now at Mepkin finally, is no longer disturbed. It is only we who
are disturbed, Hank Luce above all, and her friends; sad, so sad without her, yet happy for
her, embarked finally, after stooping so many times to pick up so many splinters, on her
way to the Cross."
