When I was in high school, around 1972, I carried about Buckley’ book Quotations from Chairman Bill.
I miss Buckley... and don’t get me started on what has happened to his magazine :-(
I used to watch Firing Line religiously... my sister was amazed that anyone could sit through such boring nonsense...lol I sometimes pull an old one up on youtube and watch it... and the old shows at the convention with Gore Vidal were really something.
