A wonderful conversation about a man who was himself a favorite Firing Line

guest. Mr. Horne had been named his official biographer--but with the stipulation that

his book not appear until after Macmillan had died, which he had done, at the age of 92,

in late 1986. One sample from Mr. Home: "Macmillan felt passionately about the

Falklands and said he wished he were still there in power. He wrote to Mrs. Thatcher and

said: Can I be of any help, just give you support in the country? Though the country was

not divided as it was over Suez. To his amazement she called him in, and he was there

for two hours. She actually asked him how to run a war and, in fact, took all his

recommendations. He was then 88."
