Mr. Buckley directs the discussion towards illegitimacy and the family, and

Professor Wilson takes it from there, in a vigorous half-hour that goes from the need to

socialize young males ("I can speak with some confidence on this matter because I was a

young male at one time, and I know what my mind was on most of the time") to the

difficulty with political speech ("Political leaders in this country speak to two audiences.

The first audience is the constituency, the people they hope will vote for them, and the

second is that audience of the elite, the media, the intellectuals... And since much of

what the average voter understands about them as candidates is a second-hand reflection

in this two-step flow of influence . . . they hedge their bets. They only speak

enthusiastically when they know the media audience and their voting constituency are in

agreement, such as: Unemployment is bad").
