Description

The second appearance on Firing Line of this feisty, often outrageous (his own word) political leader, covering economics, foreign relations, labor relations, and much more. One sample: WFB: "Are there Australians about whom we should worry who feel that the United States is in any sense acting imperiously in its relations with Australia on the matter of mutual defense?" BH: "William, I think people like you tend to be professional worriers ... but I don't think there's anything for you to be worried about. The fact that you have some people who make stupid noises and have positions which are based on prejudices rather than any intellectual position-well, we've got our share of them, but I don't worry about them and I don't think you should either."
