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.
That dust up with Gore Vidal, someone else I admired, is legendary.
Uncomfortable to watch because Buckley allowed himself to be baited by a master and lose his temper.
