Host Buckley, William F., Jr. (1925-2008)
Date CreatedJanuary 15, 1991
Description

It's not as if Firing Line viewers were being deprived of their Muggeridge fix by his death (in November 1990, at the age of 87). Two of the shows featuring him, "How Does One Find Faith?" and "Do We Need Religion or Religious Institutions?" (#S432 and #S433), had been rebroadcast every year at Christmastime, a tradition that would continue throughout Firing Line's own life. But this masterly redaction brings in Mr. Muggeridge's comments--which are often, as WFB points out in the newly taped introduction, "mischievous"--on much outside the scope of those two sessions. One sample: "I regard liberalism as the great disease of our society, and when I said that people like Mrs. Roosevelt, admirable though they were in intention, would be seen to have done more damage than people like Hitler and Stalin, I meant precisely that."
