I absolutely lionize this man. I was lucky enough to have dinner with him twice; the last time just after he bought his “retirement” farm in VT. He was a joy to be around and loved talking about his farm. His “Free To Choose” TV series was required viewing when I was teaching econ. He is missed...
He was/is the BEST spokesman this nation - nay, the world - ever had for free enterprise, freedom, and everything related to those matters. He was eloquent, clear, concise, witty, and never rude. He would be firm and not back down, but I never saw any exchange he had (on video...I never met the man...I’m envious of you, FRiend) where he went ballistic. We could learn a thing or 1200 from him today.
