1921, 1985 right reason, through his entire series through his latest collection of speeches, let us talk of many things throughout the end of this month. The next three hours mr. Buckley joins to take your calls and questions as we explore his life and writing and politics. Welcome. Thank you very much. This is old and musty. This is what, 49 years old. Yes came out in 1951. He had supposed i calculated to come out on the 250th anniversary and i was coincidental. The picture on the back you remember that . No. What is in the book. The book was an examination from yale was given to the impulses and the closest to which he was exposed having to do with government. It was enthusiasm for government or enthusiasm for lesser government. And also in respect to religion. And what was encouraged with religion that has touched. Faith or skepticism. I concluded in the collective this of impulses and retrospect to the other, should i rattle on or do you want to . I was going to say and became part of a minister. In the section on christianity was christian minded young men and i wanted to tell you that everything you said was prove correct. As which he met the disappearance of the strong Christian Faith was accurately predicted in his knowledge of what one and subsequently happen. You ever figure how many of those books you sold over the last 49 years . It was not an enormous selling, it got a lot of attention. Three reviews which was in deciding which ones to buy. This has been taken back to 100,000. This is mccarthy and his friends, what you did that come out. Exactly. That came out in 1954. And the mccarthy movement and me. In the last year of law school and put out from the cia and you look at 1954, the country was enormous in those parts of the countries that were mobilized on mccarthy on the communist issue. We close the book in september 1953 and as a record in a novel most of his really crazy mistakes wouldve been later in one important exception the book is a very good resour resource. And in fact the publisher, that is why want the book. I want Solid Research on these hearings. They were the great question during that period and when he disappeared in the homage came along. That proved to be the battlefield of which mccarthy. We are going to be talking to the bottom of the hour which is 24 minutes away and then it will be open phones to you for two and half hours as we try to work through the books that you published, here is one called up from liberalism, its a paperback here but what was the purpose of this book when you read it. That was written in 1958 or 59 and what it attempted to do was to distill in the postulates and to hold him up to the scrutiny of events and ask do we move up the reverse in the realism in the infection of our policies which are most successful. Who was he and why the forward . John was a spectacular leftist during the 30s, he is a socialist and a utopian, he came around on that and shock of a huge constituency by becoming conservative, when i suggested it, rather than enthusiastically do so, that was that. You call it jewelers all right and then youre on a scooter. I used to go around on a scooter in this particular photographer shop that and a few others in magazines and the publisher liked it. That book came out as the first of my collections and it was very successful. It happened to come out at a moment when there was a lot of publicity with my exchanges on the political conventions but we had to do with the success. Is a collection of material put in 1958 with a market blend. 41 books, when we went to try to find them we learned you do not even have all 41, or do you . I try to keep a copy that maybe i messed up on one or two. Some of these are yours and some belong to nick who have collected books over the years and some we had. Left and right. Thats a rare book, the second on my collections, that had a long essay that i wrote for the chambers when he died incorporating material which he sent me into a book of his own and it was published in the magazine in a got a fair amount of attention and beyonce, one of many had many reasons of the perfect title for mr. Buckleys book, thats all he engaged in. Would you have written most of your books . Almost all in switzerland except for two or three i have a routine. How long do you stay there . Six or seven weeks. The time that we are talking, you have been back for how long . Ive been back over a year. This time, when did you get back from switzerland. Ten days ago. You rested. Im not rested. I try to get rested. I rode in the New York Times you talk about testosterone and he says that hes using that. That was a good reason. But ever since he used his energy level is completely back to normal, and i said that might be a good thing to investigate. Born in 1925, 74 years old, any time over the 41 books that you enjoy the most . I find writing hard by which i mean im not in the company of those whose look forward to writing, he told me that he had a hard time sleeping, about 3 0e woke up and he got up and went to his desk and got on his typewriter and wrote an essay or something and went back to sleep. I know a few people like that whose need to write can be compared to some people need to eat or take exercise. I dont have that. I do terribly hard sweaty work in irate quickly. And to contract the pain. What you write with. I write on a computer. How long have you done that. Since they existed. What did you do before that. Typewriter i was the editor of my schools paper i had to write an editorial every day and for the first week or two i would write by hand but them back to typewriter which most people do. What typ kind of data you ri. My routine is to start writing at 430 in the afternoon. Can you do your regular work in the morning. Was your wife in switzerland this time around . She broke her leg and 65 so she has not skied since then so i have to do the on my own. Did you ski this time. I had a flu i had a cranky flu that did not immobilize me but made it almost impossible to ski, it withered the limbs, i grew out of it by the time i came back. Its a wonderful book. I was asked by nixon to be a public member of the united nations, 1973 so i did, about two and half months in in order to justify, i wrote about it. So for bibliography, nothing had ever been written about it except the book by my photographer and the brazilian delegation, the reasoning it was such a bore, i wrote the book and i sent it to the new yorker and it was accepted right away, i wish they wouldve published it but they said they would have to delayed by six months. So i pulled it out and published it in the middle of the way. Its a really Interesting Program because it was at the height of the cold war plus the moment where he took over in chile. In the threeday war, it was a pretty exciting time september 1973. I wrote about at the time that it was the most extraordinary deposit about president s of hypocrisy in the history of civilization. Everyone knew that the spokesman from east germany is what he was told to say in the spokesman from saudi arabia would challenge the credentials of israel and how it was used in last 25 years. Everybody refer to each other with the exaggerated difference. And it pretty ugly site. At the same time i recognize that it was expedited in your right to transmit a radio being and stuff like that im not making the suggestion at the time that the United States ought to do, this is much less important now was never ever to vote which i must argue threatened, all of those things it will never help, you lose the vote, you subscribe to the superstition that the democratic process should be listened to even when it is completely far from the truth. Immorality i suggested was taken and people ignored it. Gradually the power accumulated in the council and pretty much rested there. He will be with us for another two hour and 45 minutes. This is called in depth. We dont have a collar, per se, because someone has taken it. Voting on the conservative party ticket. 1965. The republican candidate was full of ideas indistinguishable. So, it was a dramatic location, in part, because there was a newspaper strike. That way, john was equal time. That gave exposure. Routine newspaper accounts were given to them. The opportunity to try to express conservative views on problems. In a sense, i kept insisting he was really a democrat. He became a democrat five years later. The nomination on the republican party. November 1, 1965 from a grateful and devoted soninlaw. New york city, may 1, 1966. What is your philosophy of dedication . I tried to acknowledge people that are important to me personally or professionally. There is a wide variety of this. The business of, you have to mean somebody elses depressing. You find out your forgotten your own mother. It sounds impulsive to who sort of comes to mind when it comes to the dedication. Your mother in law and your wife. Her daughter. When did you meet her . When she was a freshman and i was a sophomore. Then we sort of renewed our courtship i guess it began in vancouver. That was 50 years ago. My collection. Oh, yeah. The first one in my collection in which i asked somebody else to edit. To Read Everything in the last seven years. And so i asked, a junior associate, a biographer to do me the favor of singling out the material. The completed him. I have something with the National Review. Team 55. What is your relationship to it now . I am an editor at large. Never made any money . No. Did that bother you . Only the sense of making money on a school. We are educational primarily. Absorbing an enterprise. You dedicate it. Oh, yeah. The support of the magazine. We differ now. The great thing is notwithstanding the difference. Here it is in the latest issue. Everybody patronize as him. Where does he live . North carolina. Supporters dont like what you are saying . Yes. One company in the society, this may interest you. When the idea of the magazine came up, each was a vietnamese intellectual that would come to him america. Became very close to henry. He became one of the three editors which was the conservative. It had seven teen trustees. There were always disagreeing on such issues. It was his idea. If you have extra people voting, prosper or it may not prosper. It will be on account of people trying to decide the votes. It is extraordinary how tranquil life can be if it is known who makes these decisions. Going out and saying this together or editors. Obviously, quite a bit about that. Five minutes we will go to carls buckley. I notice a comment here between buckley and junior. I just did not proofread that carefully. Why dont you like it. Always a little late. You know, you can do that. Lets say your name is not william buckley. It has an introduction. Does that make him a conservative . No. They can introduce that. It happens with one of my books in the washington post. It was very nice. We have lunch every three months for the last 30 years. All traces of that. Very conservative on certain issues. Ninetyseven. What kind of life does he lead now . He is exactly the same age. He still plays golf. I expect to see him in a couple of weeks. What was firing line, how long did it last. 966. It had been scheduled 1965 with the fact that i was running for mayor disqualified it. It was thought that it would last 15 weeks. The idea was confrontational. It was quite successful. I killed it at the end. 1999. Why did you want to kill him . Because things have to and. Did not die on stage. Letting it and. Also, it was a strain to get it financed. Because the broadcasting stations, they brought everything with a fine line. It had to be provided by us. What is this . I am a catholic, a believing catholic and creeping around. Something that i should realize. Expressing gratitude for it. And to pass along certain points over the years. I wish she would have known it. Sort of a beauty. Had sort of a way, plenty of steel. On the other hand, everybody knew as she dictated as a total southerner. We were brought up in europe and in connecticut. Along 1936, a place in south carolina. That is where they are both buried. He was a texan. If youre watching this program live on april 2, 2000, the noontime hour, the lines are open. If you live in the eastern time zone 202 6241115. If you live west of the mississippi and another book here yes. A page from the old testament. Listing as the lord desires. There is some stuff in that book a book that hasnt quite been published yet. 150,000 words out of a half million. We dont have the actual book everything you have to say is there. Beginning with the speech i gave at yale. Through the speech that i gave in washington. Celebrating the 20th anniversary people find it interesting and amusing. That book was sent by the company for people. It is a wonderful book. Unsurpassed with in the sharpest mind of contemplative conservatism. We made a mistake. A confirmed liberal recommend this collection of speeches and commentary. The conservatives and liberals alike. A national treasurer. Gee whiz. Now, you have a bunch of novels. That book is about general mccarthy. Forty years after writing the first one, it really needs to be extricated. Just got left out in the cross antagonisms in the approach back then. I think it is an effective novel general mccarthy also postwar. It is very important. Im going to go to our audience now. Trying to focus in on books. We have stacked here a whole bunch of novels. On the scale of what you like and not like the best, how many novels have you written . 12. Actually, third teen. Nonfiction, what do you like best . Generally, it is easier to write a novel because there is marginal bully less research. If you decide you are going to write the book in six weeks, you get the research. The temptation to improvise. The killer is coming in the other way. And youve got to, youve got to make it a surprise. If you have a threshold of boredom, which i do, you bore your self. I love him for it. I cannot do that. Any intent to do so cripples me. That means that i like to think we have two hours and 25 minutes to go with mr. Buckley junior. You are our first caller. What can we do for you. It reminds me that i do not think you have written any books of music. I am wondering why you have not done that. Why given your versatility you have not recorded. Could you please answer the questions and also tell us about your relationship. Thank you. I guess, something is wrong. We will try to figure it out. We want to know why you have not written about music. Why you have never recorded. The answer to that is easy. I am not good enough. In fact, i gave the union for five years ago. The anyway, it was recorded. I made so many mistakes. A matter of it was very special terms. A music critic from the journal. At age 15. Going to music concerts. Calling it music mountain. I published every week for a couple of years. Number one, i realize the knowledge of the music was very superficial. Did not have the authority to write about it structurally. Secondly, the problem is some people simply transcend. The beauty of music to writing. Under the circumstances, kind of a barrenness in the ability of self. I think rather depressing. Little rock, arkansas, your next. Good morning. How are you. I am well. Something of an urban legend. You came to town one time to speak. You had stopped at a payphone at the airport and on the way out they had given you the key to the city on the way out. The same person that sell you off came back to the same phone to use it as the key of the city. I just thought that that was wonderful. You had been given the key to the city and you are on the payphone and you left. The seller came back i missed that. That implies the lack of gratitude for whoever gave you the key. Assuming over the years you have been given lots of things, do you make any effort to save them all . No. You are next. Good afternoon. I feel as though you have been a part of my story for the last 35 or 40 years. Back in the late 60s i got a hold of your home address and we corresponded. A real intellectual touchstone for me for years. Writing the various ways for the various places that you have done that. I appreciate what you did. I did have one question. A few moments ago you identified yourself as a believer. Somewhere in the midpoint during my time of connecting with you, i became a christian myself. You use the word believing catholic in a way that you could explain. There are a lot of references to the catholic vote. By that, that is most often meant irish or italians or whatever. In that sense, the word is used without the severity. I attempt to live in the government body by the code. I heard that 18 of catholic, it was a mortal sin. That kind of blessed day sickle attention to the sabbath suggests and informality which i find saddening. We are talking about the 41 books as a minimum. A time. He has not read at the book, obviously. Hi, mr. Buckley. How are you doing. You turned my head around back in 1962 when i was in the service. You probably remember. In any case, i wanted to ask you where the conservatives gain the justification for a certain measure of Public Authority over our conduct but the liberals or the left failed to gain that justification. I think that that is because of the constituency to which the conservatives appeal. By which i mean that conservatives as attempting to revive and accelerate the criteria that merely justifies that are not really as described by a democratic act. It was referred to as the democracy of the dead. The reason that we feel a number of decisions were made even before we were born that, because of the constitution of the United States, the bill of rights. Followup. I wanted to ask, for example, the flagburning constitutional amendment effort, which is a conservative populist type of effort has very little to do with history and yet it seems to be that those that are conservatives have no problem applying the state, but minimum wage upsets them. I am just trying to find out the consistency here. Alleging consistency. Something in the minimum wage. I did not hear it. Having a little bit of trouble with the earpieces here. Did you hear the last of it . Yes. We will move on and take another call. Memphis, tennessee. Go ahead. First time caller. Very long time viewer. Thank you. The mid 1970s. Following your writings, in your book you discussed quite a long time about malcolm. I was just wondering what your relationship with him taught you about your faith and maybe what it could teach the rest of us. Malcolm as you may recall, was brought up a christian and then left the faith. And then rediscovered it. He was reborn. He did so with the most marvelous enthusiasm. He spoke about christianity as one is one may speak about the first time seeing it on broadway that enthusiasm plus its marvelous powers of expressing himself as done in many in a couple of books, we became very close friends. He asked to be, this was the sixth time, a fine line called why i am not a catholic. I said okay. So we did. He had another final period kind of a way in which he had a faith that looked like the face of a clown in a drama. His passion for the relevance of christianity showed through it. It is, by the way, a program that a producer ran every year at christmas time. People seeing it again. A program that they were talking about. Is there a place where they can see the timeline . The television and radio every year on 52nd street. In new york. Yeah. They have 150 of them. And i would like your opinion now and that is the candidacy of Hillary Clinton for senate in new york f8 on if you think that would happen and are you ever planning writing about the Clinton Presidency . What do you think the first three lines of his obituary would read . Thank you for everything you have given us. You really are a great man. It is very nice of you. I appreciate that a lot i wish i knew what i said in 1972 to see any of that survives the time. On the night in new york im not impressed by the notion that mrs. Clinton is an outsider shes a cosmopolitan woman and Bobby Kennedy and mcgovern was forming outsider. Formally an outsider so people who want to vote the other side cannot come up with a better argument than that. That she has a chance. Her husband and his legacy it will take a lot he hasnt spoken and memorable word or memorable thought. Under the circumstances that was under improvisation. But it isnt precipitating a funeral. Gratitude was prompted that we take a lot for granted. I set out to write a book which i did not conclude but what i remember about ortega is the fingerprint of the masked man is a lack of any appreciation and that prompted me to write this book. I came out very explicitly for one year of Service Helping people in hospitals teach children that are illiterate. Helping the environment. Interestingly enough, it was very enthusiastic about the idea of helping this idea materialize which is set to the 22 yearold if you knew international the dont come around. Is pretty much the way the mormons affect their tithing. Ive never been a fan of this but the idea to actually presented at a meeting to say what you think . They said we wont take anybody and that really is a Public Service but then everybody else will do it eventually i very much encourage that idea and they were furious with me the notion to have the ethos backed by government power is resistant. And if it does the work than what do you do . And this is what shed happen. Cspan breckenridge colorado. Caller he will afford for the National Review guide to colleges and universities. The oldest of my six children is preparing to apply for college this year and there has not been a new version but we found it very helpful then but we are wondering if there is a new version or a new edition forthcoming . Or if he can recommend resources . I know there is one planned. It is on the drawing board. The isi has its own and we are governed pretty much by the same criteria. Probably recommend you go there if you want a new version. Cspan minneapolis. Caller i just want to say since the end of the year there has been a void in my life so i hope this program will fill some of that. One time you quoted someone who said that what he had learned could be expressed with a simple quotation jesus loves me this i know for the bible tells me so. That sounds very profound but i dont remember who you were quoting that could you tell me cracks second i thought the best guest you had on firing line was mortimer and unfortunately i havent seen anything about him recently. I havent seen the obituary. How is he doing quick. I know that he is alive. I know that he is not active which is inconceivable given his enormous energy and diligence. It must be he is a little bit incapacitated. Cspan he was here years ago he was 91 he is in his late nineties . I think so. He was always on firing line and he was enormous. And i recommend his book. Cspan when he was here he wrote 45 i remember asking is favorite he said it was how to read a book. That was a surprise bestseller gave him those a name and Financial Independence it was very important to him. I dont remember the quotation. Cspan california your next. Caller dear mr. Buckley please explain your taped introduction to the red hunter you edify joe mccarthy for his bio crippling of this countrys politics but you dont mention the irreparable damage he did to americans so i am conservative but and tell amazingly last evening i admired you greatly. Geewhiz. Thats extraordinary one sentence or lack of it can do to you. The question of the mccarthy damaged is not easy to answer in this book so we came to the conclusion that people from he had named were by no means people with oddly clean records but exactly what he was named by the committee as a conspiracy but the people he that was the most endearing was the anti communist community the damage he did to the anticommunist movement was enormous even today if anybody makes any criticism to say thats a mccarthy type of reasoning. But i dont think there are that many who are not accountable. And then have that inner sense if i come after the kkk and somebody is running and say he belongs to the ku klux klan, klan, the fact it is said about my background. And these hollywood people who defend joe stalin and defend the trials and now seven or eight years later were confronted with it they might have been completely liberated from that kind of temptation. Cspan colored you want to follow up . Caller yes i think that you overlook the trickledown to the levels it went to. People who might have subscribed to our left magazine could and did, by the way i am aware personally lost their jobs. These are not people who endorsed stalin, these were people who were in colleg college, underage, almost, and lost credibility because they questioned less positions. His endowment was to really hurt many people. Many innocent intellectuals i might add who were not making conservatively and young people are thinking liberally. So if what you are saying is that the consequences of defying the social position can be overstressed. The answer is i completely agree with you. When salem started to burn the witches at some point which is a preposterous over consequence. But the effort to suggest this is reflected me for me doesnt talk about the experience proud to say mccarthys asset to shut him up or not prevail. But if somewhere down the line you find a professor who didnt get promoted because of the American Friendship league then the answer is because he voted against title vii and the civil rights. But to reach back and seek to discredit the movement from the correct perspective the big struggle and political history was for our enthusiasm. But she very much influence you have to come out on the side of peace and looking its own way to word socialism et cetera. But around 1940 and 49 with the loss of czechoslovakia and the definition of the bomb in the coming a time traveler is not as easy a way to go but mccarthy screwed things up to go so far as to discredit those distinctions. Cspan bill buckley will be with us for two hours third in a series a product a programs called indepth. He has written 41 books we are talking about some of them. The phone lines are open. Next we go to st. Louis museum on missouri. Caller thank you for this program i really like it is a good chance to get a more intimate knowledge of the authors that you have we appreciate the program. Cspan thinks. Caller mr. Buckley i have heard you talk many times. I havent read any of your books quite frankly because i have a lot of my own to do but i hope you will forgive me for that. But to rattle my cage with the positive at the end of your name i was look at it as to differentiate. My grandfather and myself. So i never thought about putting a, in there. So you talk about your book on christianity and also i am a catholic and i have been writing Different Things on that subject basically on christianity and one of the things it is that published yet but its called the 12 gifts of christmas but basically it is a small permit for christianity and the catechism if you will i appreciate to talk to you directly. In 1982, a lot of allegations were swirling about of the senators it was charged that pat buchanan for instance was anti somatic. It was charged the dartmouth review anti somatic as a result so to explore this point so i did. And with the position that is soft and to be a part of Foreign Policy is extremely important with antisemitism to make those distinctions. A lot of Conservatives Associated but antisemitism was a way of life when i was a freshman at yale they had one jewish member on the faculty and that was the first so so with that position is what i engaged in and it goes over that ground. Cspan athens georgia. Caller i live in georgia and when i was a young student at Northwestern University early 19 sixties i have your but that from liberalism today is the most important book i ever read it was just fabulous to me and and the commemorative edition that came out with the americans spectator and read it again just recently and my wife also was familiar with your family because she has taken your brothers course. She has taken it twice in fact. One of the times i accompanied her to campus and i had the opportunity to meet him. And as you are, delightful and intelligent. Big buckley fans in this house. Cspan what is it that has stayed with you for so long . Basically it was the way he explained earlier in the program it took the tenants of liberalism and held it up to the glare factual realities and then asked the question why not raise ourselves up from this thing that has been proven over and over and continues over and over that these basic tenets are wrong . Cspan hold your question i will show you an ad from this weeks National Review the Buckley School of written expression has a threeday workshop technical and business writing for print on professionals and executives and also christopher buckley, your son presided over by read buckley presided by Kathleen Parker. Who are they . I know how Kathleen Parker got into their. [laughter] one is a nice. John john buckley lives in washington about the time and is the president ial election is a press aid from camp. Christopher is 47. He is a smashing good thing. Cspan only son . Only child. Caller it seems to me from watching television that i do every day the Major Networks abc, nbc and cbs and cnn especially are increasingly liberal in their slant on the news and sometimes just ignoring stories like the recent one of the privacy act that are harmful to their side so my question is do you see this . And if you do what do you think about it . I think its a force of nature because the Community Gets its inspiration but those that are engage in television voted democratic in the last election. I was at yale a professor there were 23 of them do we or truman . One does not have to extract the data of this kind by a large the academic with democrat versus republican. So your opinion can we discuss in a discussion with her . I did i wish i had. As an important philosophical analyst. Her most conspicuous work probably is her coverage of the trial and the banality of the evil. And then to stress a singularity of the holocaust especially one more with the hideous capacity. But i never did run into her she did seem a little bit eccentric. I have not read her exchanges of mccarthy it seems to be published as a book. Caller mr. Buckley. You have been a long term member of the montpelier society which was founded 52 or 53 years ago from hayek and other freemarket intellectuals. It seems to me there are two or three individuals that are critical who are really critical to secure the liberty and civilization that we know of into the 21st century. One of them would be hey i can my opinion one dash hayek in my opinion and you have written essays. I would like to know just how important do you believe hayeks contribution is to us today and especially the young people coming into the 21st century. Montpelier is the alpine peak they rounded up a few free marketers and found in society that hayek was very influential and also as a journalist his book, the road to serfdom what is actually in Readers Digest and then he wrote the constitution liberty in a philosophical case was made. He got the nobel prize not from these accomplishments for technical accomplishments when he taught in london in the thirties. He went to the university of chicago when he became an american and they wouldnt give him a tenured seat. In context it was odd. Cspan he didnt get tenured in chicago . What did he die . 91 . I remember giving a speech at a 76 birthday. Friedman lived forever. Cspan is there anybody else you would put in that category writing in the century that has had an impact . I dont think he was a phd but his economics was enormous rudimentary expression of the free market idea. Cspan california go ahead. Caller i was wondering if mr. Buckley had any comments on gore vidal gave in the famous argument on Television Years ag ago . I wrote a long essay on the guy published in 69. Thats all i will ever say about him. Cspan do you see him anymore . Now. Cspan new york. Caller good morning mr. Buckley. I am a 23 yearold College Student spent a few years abroad and recently i read your book id man at yale and it was on a dusty shelf and i am wondering if you could give me your impression of the destiny of the conservative at Ivy League Institutions and in particular at yale. I was reading the illiberal institute recently and it sounds like the liberal tyranny on campus is these days are all the heightened to a fever pitch. Can you give me your impressions on that . In my experience most universities have a vocal dissent for instance at yale it was called the yale free press it comes out every month with the dartmouth review so in every situation with that expressive words of dissent. Why should they be dissenters rather than acknowledge those folks in the community . I dont think there was a conservative since then but then the general impression that i have the Critical Community tends to gravitate in the direction as liberal and other terms. Cspan out of context at page 111 there is a letter in here to the yale daily news from milligan . I have time to look it up i just saw that. Next lets go to long island. Caller. Cspan no. California go ahead. Caller hello. First i would like to extend hello you do a lot of good for the proliferation of knowledge. Thank you for that i just have a brief question considering his philosophical wisdom the forefathers set of this republican form of government because they know that man could be good but highly distressed and for his pursuit of his own selfinterest i havent read it yet but i will endeavor to tomorrow in the sixties it seemed we strayed from the republic into a democracy. Any sort of wisdom on that trend and how we can turn the boat back to the course we were on . I tend to think that tends to surrender due to usage. People want to be thorough. A republic understands. By a large to the extent there is an agreement on the subject that republicanism and mike democracy acknowledges the limitations of government power and encourages restraint. Cspan according to our producer says that 19 of your books are still in print. Twentyone are outofprint and one only available on audio. What is your sense over the years if it is outofprint can they still get it through the bookstores . Sure. Every now and then somebody will ask for a copy i dont think theres any book you cannot find. Cspan where will your papers be kept . Yale. Cspan you have reconciled with yale after all these years . You dont have to reconcile. There is a repository. Yale is terrific about it. You dont have to take an oath of allegiance to yale. Cspan which library . University library. Cspan long island. Caller mr. Buckley. My feelings on the relationship with stall and is not exactly correct. Prior to world war ii was the fascist government of mussolini and after the war there certainly was an attempt to reconcile the stall and and roosevelt in fact there is a saying it will not be capitalism and fascism that capitalism and socialism. The original agreement to build the German Economy up to build those reparations they did most of the fighting and dying. And the United States and the conservative dixiecrats voted against the agreement and therefore isolating with this insane cold war lasting 45 years and we are responsible for that in that direction. Are we responsible for the stall and hitler packed . In a way we are because the paranoia of the bolsheviks because of the alignment of the white army led to suppression and with the romanoffs speed. What scruple did stalin have that hitler did not have about human beings . If you equate to stall and no doubt about it. But if you use stalin. That stalin dominated foreignpolicy in the reciprocity of the soviet union between 1924 and his death in 23 and his legacy unfortunately continues those practices it was the renunciation of stalin by khrushchev in 1956 for everything we had always said about the soviet union. Not everything but not to justify. But khrushchev was our opportunity for him to denounce stalin and actually with the flights eisenhower had while examining everything in the soviet union they went to apologize. Instead of apologize he did and the cold war continued. Every chance there was in fact with the burns communique he brought back there was a combination with the dixiecrats i think we pretty much told the russians the capitalists have not agreed to everything and then we can carry the russians and the japanese we could isolate them. 289 bombs were brought into cuba i simply find this a fantasy. What you want me to say about this . Anything in here you remember of note . Do you find you do forget . Sure. My sister. Cspan montana go ahead. Yes. I am on my second reading of the road to serfdom and he was affected somewhat of his close associations with people that were involved with austrian economic theory. How is it in your own writings the austrian theory like by yvonne mrs. Have a relationship . Thank you very much. Is not the enormous amount of attention as a factual list the roads understanding is the Austrian School is more pragmatic by contrast with the british and Chicago School to take data and on the business of what actually happens. So the influence is enormous but as a General Social thinker if hayek exceeds then he says on me this isnt a very good economist but he was saying primarily that he is a man who leads from the archetypes but not all that useful. Cspan how many languages have you learned . I spanish in a little french. Cspan when did you teach spanish . As a sophomore, for four years and also the university of mexico. This is on the most unpleasant and an favorable faces of capitalism i have ever seen. And you write back have you ever seen the face of Ulysses S Grant . And to my dearest mr. Buckley where would you be today if you are puerto rican . Do you remember any of this . No. I would be the propaganda of minute the administration in my classmate at yale. [laughter] otherwise how would we know at this point . Cspan published 1975 and on the back has a note he deserves his reputation as one of the wittiest political satirist writing today is still was stephen wiseman. Is an that the same . It must be. Greetings i really think it is fortuitous i have the privilege to speak with you about the same time because you are both my heroes and have done so much for the edification of america and american dialogue. My question is Whittaker Chambers and alger yes. When did you first believe mr. Chambers and his allegations and why did you want to believe him . Also did you ever meet him and what was your impression and following up with a comment from earlier about the jesus loves me quote i think it was attributed to the late professor karl marx if im not mistaken. Thank you. I thought chambers was correct with the charges made in part i thought there was more authenticity in his face and language in part because it was a horrible possibility by which i mean he we didnt know and how many later we knew there were lives and it struck me as inconceivable that Whittaker Chambers would simply come up to make a charge that preposterous unless grounded in reality. I enjoy your show very much. Two quick questions. I am studying the 64 president ial race and i was told you about nsa about goldwater not being a conservative and a true conservative where would i find that is true or not in your opinion of him . Also the opinion of clinton and history as a president. I never said he was in a conservative i would never say that. But what is correct about goldwater the last ten years of his life he adjusted his position in such a way to say if the Supreme Court says so then i go along this is a different position what he adopted from his book on conservativism. And it has been said it was affected by his wife who died and then remarried i was the master of ceremonies and to give the annual goldwater award. This is the second mrs. Goldwater. She sat down and said who are your heroes . I said your husband and ronald reagan. She sat ally stephenson so i said a case could be made for that but its odd to be hearing from the wife as goldwater as a celebration so what im saying is that when you hear about goldwater those last few years it had to do with those to his belief the Supreme Court with the military presence about abortion and so on. This is james from las vegas. How you doing . Is it true sam tendon house will be your biographer . Yes it is. Caller i enjoyed his book on Whittaker Chambers. Also on gratitude, the plan that you outlined, part of the National Service plan, do you contrast that to with what and with that mr. On and with the Americorps Program to pay these students 20000 a year to quote unquote volunteer. You put your finger on it. Its not what i had in mind that i you this. It is a marketplace transaction so i dont think it is public imagination as the reciprocity by a young liberal or man. When is sam tendon houses book coming out . But then he took six or seven years to write one book ive been working on this a couple of years. Cspan how much of your papers are available . He has access to may papers at yale. And he has access to my right to prohibit. A lot of people access those papers, scholars, but there is always that proviso i must be shown prior to publishing. The enormous life that was just completed of 20 or 30 communications between him and me. None of which i ended up vetoing but if it was entirely personal i would feel a commitment to privacy but what has not been on the corner of any cleveland station for at least 15 years. I thought it was outrageous i just want to say your call leg on your colleague is the man who made my brains think and work. I have never seen a better debater. He change my line on so many issues. It was a terrific program. He is a terrific man. I just adore him. But i notice when you talk about mcgovern you did not call him a communist. Now. Of course not that would be ridiculous. And being a communist means you never have to say youre sorry. All of them die in their bed than ever go around to say how sorry they were because they were not sorry that is one reason the same is true with democrats in this country who have demonstrated want us to destroy the Education System to destroy the Neighborhood School having a union of teachers prepare only union issues so the idea of a striking teacher growing up nobody would had even thought of it but you dont have to say sorry for all the things that you do that are so destructive and horrible and yet, and yet, if you are conservative you are only supposed to be apologizing for things. I notice when you are talking about pat buchanan you did say he had tendencies toward fascis fascism. I did not say that. What did you say . I examined what he said and some of the things he said were anti somatic. Not fascist and then i said i dont think he is i think he is intrigued of the whole narrativ narrative. I never said fascist. Did i say that, brian . If i did i apologize. Caller now you have entire europe edging towards communism and czechoslovakia and other states and poland and they have socialist in every single state. Now this man isnt even elected his party has power so now this man has to resign from the party and we will boycott. He resigned as head of the party i think but whatever it i is, the entire european even this criminal in the white house was making these statements we will not have anything to do with austria. This is outrageous these are the people who talk about democracies democracy which is the real religion of america because of something you have to believe in that doesnt exist and take it on faith in here are these people on wall street is like 37 percent. Wait a minute. s history. We havent had currently in the 20th century very very bad people making very good choices democratically but if you add communist they were majority. I dont think theres any obligation to say because a person is not majority it is in the selection but in that case austria its almost embarrassing and humiliating to the links he on we try to fight in ourselves. At the same time austria is where hitler came from. With a heightened sense of activity maybe that is understandable. Cspan you mentioned bill rusher . Publisher of National Review and a syndicated columnist from San Francisco and is 77. Cspan carson city nevada. Caller good morning it looks like you to enjoy each other want to good peas in a pod. [laughter] but i was going to ask what constitutes treason . If you look back at the jewish couple rosenbergs . They gave up the secret of the abomb to russia and they were promptly executed. Now we see the white house and who knows how many secrets of Missile Technology they gave away and they walked this earth free. I was hoping one morning you would be prompted to inspire what constitutes treason. It is for more on for most defined in the constitution to give aid to the enemy. The norm in which they were executed but all that levity anybody who expedited Nuclear Information that treason is most often used so it is loosely worded and using socrates accused of treason accused of misleading and there is a whole literature to focus on how elusive it is given that socrates was given the capital sentence is treasonous activity but on the other hand rather gravely and athens. But anyway treason is defined in the constitution. Cspan you always have a bedpan in your hand. [laughter] read ten a red ink pen. Sometimes i only write in red ink. And there is a reason for that. If you have to do a lot of editing with the newspaper in the magazine as with National Review you dont want to lose markings you are looking at i was used read another used green the other idiosyncrasy i always have Peanut Butter for breakfast. Cspan what time is that between 6 00 oclock and 8 00 oclock. Cspan which formed you eat your Peanut Butter . It must come with toast. It can be an english muffin and there should be a little honey in it and it must also be bettered. Cspan at one every day . Absolutely every day for 30 years. Cspan what started that . Probably a natural attraction. [laughter] i had to focus on rumsfeld he was ahead of the board of trustees they said would you please write a column i said it will write about tuskegee so went to encyclopedia that Peanut Butter was invented by George Washington carver so i wrote a column was that i never endeavored a piece of my entire life but i did the first couple i doubt i shall ever see skippy Peanut Butter and then just like Charlton Heston is not skippy it is planters. That is the best. Then the Unidentified Company says can you taste ours . It is the best it is called redwing. It is the best. That is what i always eat. You cant say give me redwing. You have to find it. There is a store outside the delicatessen. You also had a trip over there . Caller good morning. First thank you for your many contributions to the intellectual and literary life in this country. Second, what thought word you have on the many novels and writings of ayn rand and her legacy in general to philosophy . I have a problem because if we go back a long way. When Atlas Shrugged was published Whittaker Chambers reviewed it in National Review and gave it a scathing review. And as a result ayn rand never consented to be in the same roo room. Had to be preestablished if i was invited. So the division because ayn rand was a materialist and her ambition was to understand the road without transcendence. As a result of that terrible hysterical and examples review of the book wants you to do that. [laughter] how those people for back in 1967. Good afternoon. Ive read your books, airborne in 1976 and racing through paradise, im a sailor. I really enjoyed your books and its an honor to speak to you. Everyone is coming on to you with politics and things but i thought since we gave away the panama canal left the concept will be real estate boom youd long be remembered by what we canal. Please give that some thought. While you are doing that, tell us about the books airborne and five of. Just want to make sure people know our 1975 and i had a wonderful time, so i sailed again and again and across the pacific. I needed to finance the trip. During the time the panama canal took place, after a trip to panama the situation became that. They were asked to go, have to be reminded. Talking about at the time, the days of air travel and globalization, i dont see anything, the fact that the chinese a few years in the traffic, if they had to close up overnight, during that time. Help fund change the track here completely. I thoroughly enjoyed the books you have written mr. Buckley. Any comment on them and how they came about . Let me ask you first about these books, heres the lankford oaks reader, how many have you read . I read for, i havent read the last one, unfortunately. Whos on first. What have you like . Ive been in a similar business for a period of time and i find them very realistic superb and im wondering how mr. Buckley got to writing these books and thank you so much. Thank you. In case you need. These are all available who publishes them ask . And when did you start writing these . 1970, what happened was my editor and two associates wanted to have lunch with me. We had lunch and one of them said have you read a novel recently that you especially enjoyed . I said yes, one by david jack well. He said one of you write a novel . The next day there was a contract and there was a novel published by david. Had to write it in my own time. They said enough is enough and we terminated or they could say go ahead. Three publications. The protagonist goes from episode to episode and the last one, he makes an appearance. Just before the wall comes down. Hes retired. Lets go to el paso, texas next. Good afternoon. Mr. Buckley, im not much older than your son. Back when i was a liberal, a good think you are so charming and used beautiful language because i listened to you for that reason. Unfortunately, i was also very sensitive. I am now, as my children have grown, going to college, a first time degree and those who work in the community, i expect to be out there working and contributing something im interested to know what you think the political social implications are of people my age group as we get older and moved up from liberalism into conservatism, what you think . Locations 14 the patient is not on the line any longer so we will have to get. Obligations, try to understand what the contentions are and try to ask, is this necessary is something done by the government or might it be done by the private sector . Is best run by the federal government or by a smaller unit . I was in minneapolis and we discussed a federal program and we do something about tersely in minneapolis. I ask, what on earth has washington d. C. Done for teaching these kids how to read . With social issues arising,. How many years do you get . , 20, 25. You write them out . Sometimes, sometimes not. Its not the best for you. I like an audience of about 800. Chapel size, easier to handle, i think. Did prefer College Campus . A campus, by and large if you have them in college, they are quite discriminatory. They come to you, they want to hear you for whatever reason. By contrast, a lot of other situations, conventional or whatever, they have to go because theyve subscribed to the series so other audiences are terrific. I think you have more energy in the college age. Its a pleasure to talk with you. I was channel surfing and i saw this and got interested. My views are conservative and what i would like to ask you site your book, what are some other books to read to get the idea and learn more about, how do i put this . To do the cell phones, books by liberals which i can understand the policy of it. Great. The national fuel, they devote themselves to the whole subject of the public scene philosophically economically, constitutionally. There are goals of development and also from time to time, their important books. Given your initial interest, thats the way i would go. What about other books liberalism, what other books would he find the most useful . Which one has philosophy . And all the collections, they are making of a mayor, there is an enormous infusion in making the other decision, is right here. This is a book, what lectures i give, ive been through this. You find yourself in San Francisco. That would be a book of interest to people in the subject. To write about one week in her life, as was the other one. 1971. The caller from california. Good morning. Good morning. Its an honor. Would you please comment on the writings of Malachi Martin in particular, his novel, winthrop house, i understood in the interview i heard with him that stated that model was 70 factual. Thank you. In encounter with that was interrupted. An ex priest but i thought he went a little over and i have read the last halfdozen of his books. It doesnt involve laws, its one of those i simply dont know but i dont think of him as having a reliable one. Three our indepth program, our signature series started about four months ago. This is the first of every month from noon to three east coast time. Where we . Austin, texas. Hello. Ive enjoyed these book programs so much. Mr. Buckley, ive known books tremendously. Ive seen you and i loved that. I guess that the economy is ive only read nonfiction and i loved it. Im not sure i could sit down and read fiction not having read the nonfiction. I wanted to ask you, speaking about mccarthy, was born in 43 so i didnt have a good clear picture of him except the snippets of the films they show of the congressional hearings and i think im going to read that because the people who criticize you for writing the book are the same as one the defendant and to this day the wonderful fellow that was misunderstood and yet weight, the majority of the people were on the so it would e the same with them. Thats the impression you get when you say, when you hear people say well, hes writing the book about this no good and weve heard them say well, you misunderstood. I thought it was wonderful where they explained it to people who only got historical snippets here and there and i like to hear finally when history is somewhat resolved and we get a better picture, im not too against the correctness. Thats good, hope at all. Over drive was about a week in my life of ten years later, 1980. Is a dog in there . You recognize any of those people . My driver there. Anyway, a scene of the movements, traveling across country to a place in new york and all the baggage that went into the thank you for sharing today. Youve written your major failing expenses, have your acquired lessons impacted you particularly in concerns with risk taking, enterprise and conservatism . Its a good question. He reflects on certain things in the past including a couple that see, the extent of which the seagoing experience comes in handy in all aspects of life is not an interesting. Its probably true its extremely useful in the flipside of life if youre out there and have nowhere to go you have to stay up all night, you got to do it. You can live many years not facing that kind of extremity so useful experience . The answer is yes, it is. How long was it . 60 feet. How many on board with you . Ten. Was the longest period of time to see . The longest stretch was 1950 miles, 14 days. Did you ever think you wouldnt make it . No. We ran into a hurricane the bermuda that was a very experience. It could have been a bad situation. Are you in those situations . Very easy question because with fatigue, we survived the first hurricane and there were six of us on board and all the sudden, we thought we were at the bermuda and another storm came and nobody would eat. Thats sign, wouldnt wash the dishes so on board, you could revise things which you got to know going that direction, everybody is demoralized simultaneously. Anyone with ingenuitys tends to dissipate. Hi, im a fan of a long time. Interested in the 4000 books diverting been thinking of the future and wonder if you might right of the free speech been taken away. We cant say this or that and im a reader of history and they were pretty loud and boisterous a few years ago and now we dont have it anymore. Thats all i want to say. There a lot of complaints about political correctness, the stamping out of impulses, often juvenile impulses. Impulses nonetheless, making it risky, you must do this or its a serious abridgment of freedom of expression. New york city. My name, im calling from new york city. An interested weather you have read john cornyn wells, hitlers pope and what you think of his major thesis is and purchase growing more monarchical and the position during the second world war. Theres accumulation, but there are things that he didnt do, thats a vexing question. The author of it is a senior he took only references to the pope in the New York Times in 1948. It was an extraordinary nation of tribute to what the book did to try to take the situation and he did a whole lot more. Mr. Buckley, in the late 70s, early 80s, you responded the wall street journal with a brief letter about a reporter who had a Family Business and you stated, you said attorneys were handling things but you couldnt comment. Your last sentence was in case you are interested in the news over here, he described a woman had been raped by a monkey twice and you said i know just how she feels. [laughter] im curious about is perhaps you have done this simile in your books, id love to hear an account of the. If you have a huge article to contend with and not much space to do it in, plus legal restraints, you just have to manage as best you can. Nobody else ever complained how they had been treated. Im sure you havent done any, as some people do. This one particular professor, hes mad i didnt shut the other i seeking a position on that so in these exchanges it puts you single out, i have a reputation of being short in an unfair way. Where was this photograph . My office. Where it is located . That was on 95th street,. When was it . Its what in one of my collections, and in this particular one, 1965, 72, whos that . A daughter of a friend who died. This was 1959. Studio city, california. Good morning. Good afternoon to you. Wanted to ask about your writing the first wanted to say he totally kick but your awesome. You will. I wanted to make a note because you successfully defended the anticommunist activities the country has to do to survive. I thought was interesting last week we had the Academy Awards and last year, there was always liberal uproar over giving an award because he had the courage as an american immigrant to oppose communism and this year, the same Academy Committee gave an honorary oscar to the polish director for opposing the city communism but not having the luxury of doing it in manhattan. Why is it that one year the liberals got so upset that they defend him and gets an award by the academy and he opposed communism but then nobody this year said a peep about an actual victim of communism was given the award by no less than jane fonda . People who are mad at him were mad at him because he testified through a congressional committee. Am i correct . So this is what they were mad at him for. The was that story and some people stayed in the seats. They gave him an ovation when they gave him the award. And 31 books, which one or two or three sold the most . Its hard to keep track of sales, four or five were selections in the bookclub, its hard to count. Just by the feel of it you have made a living only on writing books . Oya. Would you have lived the same lifestyle . Didnt have your column, National Review, has been lucrative . Not really. No. Another color. I just want to say first of all, how indebted someone like i am to you and National Review. I got my conservatism from your early writings, you are like a computer with all the links in those days. You get a name, you look up other writings and publications, a great deal of formula in my opinion. I have two quick questions. The first has to do any of your opinions changing over the course of your writings . Do you think with all the new Internet Services that publication and dissemination of ideas change . The omnipresence of data, of news have some affect, this communication, the number of messages given, would like to think it would turn people on who have stopped writing because its tempting. When i met the mayor, i was in favor of continuing to outlaw drugs and i change that position. Because i dont have an enthusiasm for drugs but the world against them was not working. The casualties of the war was obtained, the casualties of the drugs themselves. This book, taxes and welfare in there, other things. Program for the 70s. The phase four questions, that would be widely discussed. Something useful about them. Education and crime. Or the others . Let me see, crime, education, welfare and taxation. Taxation. Theres nothing in there that is biased, i would say. In the New York Times, he agreed with about half of it which is not bad. Good afternoon. Question for mr. Buckley. First in light of the response a few moments ago regarding his solvable change on drugs, i want to know what he thinks of the Libertarian Movement in this country and second, has read a book called the perfect storm . I have read the book, its a wonderful book. And terrifying. Also, his capacity in getting life to a storm is memorable. The first question hes not on the air, im just trying to remember his question. Mr. Buckley, in your genus wisdom, could you elaborate more on intervention and have you ever thought about writing books on that . Ive read the book in which the subject is raised. I think it was a miracle that has no reason to expect one. Which i will be doing at the end of this month, you mustnt expect for it to work but it wrong to suppose that it cant happen. Divine intervention is an attribute of the godhead. I would not commit myself to do what he wants to do but i never expect that he will. Why are you going . Offender once before and its a big devotional exercise. Its two or three days in which you are vigorously exposed to people feeling the bond of hope. People pray and they come from all over the world and statistically, 52 certified miracles, i mean they actually withstand but its memorable. Nobody in my experience, leaves without feeling better. How long will you stay there . Three days. Its a pleasure, mr. Buckley. Tragedy and hope is written by carrie quigley, have you read it . No. Have you heard of the author . I have, indeed. The Georgetown Professor . Thats correct. I find it interesting because some of the information historically points to conservative issues, in my opinion, then liberal issues and that was just my question, if you could expand on carol quigley, i just picked up the book and read it. Im sorry, i cant. You have an email that came in today. Please comment on the intellectual memoir of john lucas confessions of an original center, his criticisms of conservatives that they ban their faculty during the reagan years. His distancing from the National Review and self identification as a reactionary. Enlighten us about the dissolvable differences between you. I havent read that particular book but i am aware of the criticism. A big piece in the national interest, don luke tends to have a position to whether he considers to be anticommunist conventions. Hes a very original guy. Hes got to be a pretty good individual to satisfy him. I know you were friends with lowenstein, wonder if you would visit how you knew him and how he became popular. I knew him when he was a law school at yale. Teaching spanish. He is very active in the federalist movement. I didnt get to experience him until 1968. In the chicago convention, he behaved he was elected. He was so appeasing, a marvelous sense of humor that in the urging his election, how can i engage in this . When he was assassinated. I asked one of the editors, he was the ambassador to Human Rights Committee in geneva toward the end and he had a terrible preacher who, he was deranged. He had a sense he had to go, i cant remember which, just truly loved that. 1980 . The last half hour. How are you doing . Are you going to make it . [laughter] thank you very much. This is quite an honor. Youre one of my heroes also, not to be delegate to hero worship but in any case, if i could mention back to the gentleman you are talking about how he thought maybe you were deathly insulting people, i would say most people probably havent written back to you about the insults only because the dont quite recognize them because of your eloquent when they are given. I would remind one instance i can recollect was with a debate i think you had the active cloud, i forget his name, dennis weaver, one of the most beautiful eloquent responses, i forget what it was about, i cant remember the discussion. My question is, everybody seems to use these terms when we talk, maybe even when you use the term conservative and its almost as if its a verb rather than adjective, it seems to be the conservative as to be put in context, a conservative communist or conservative socialist would be certainly at the end of the spectrum from conservative constitutionalist, it seems like conservative is almost given the definition in and of itself completely devoid from context. Could you answer that . Thats a wonderful question. What i remember most keenly is a little line in the New York Times about 35 years ago, use the word conservative communist meaning the most conservative, its become so preponderant in order to, and the implication, a marvelous collision of those two words against the importation of a conservative. Conservatives, the word is used properly even though it distracting. The conservative socialist in that particular conclave, came out against the proposal of mr. Harrison. A moderate publican, moderate democrat, meaning more towards the enter but to define the word in chicago, very shy guy and he was pressed to find conservatism. He said he cant do it. Well, conservatism a paradigm toward the continuum of approximation. Hello. Good morning, gentlemen. William buckley. Good morning. Mr. Buckley, over five decades now about my favorite ghost including abraham lincoln, winston churchill, eleanor roosevelt. Still, we have you. This is my concern. I was able to read before, in preschool, i was reading level five. Would you consider my advanced ability to read hereditary or natural intelligence, who encouraged me to read . Children have been in pure rise, please comment on the present state of affairs in the United States of america and how do my if you wait until five, you lose part of your memory. I dont know if this is true or not but she said it so impressively, i have a terrible memory dump wondering, was a six or seven before i could read . I dont know. But its probably true very early, as this lady did, it is disastrous, a terrible time in reading literacy. Is came out in 1996, the lexicon, wonderful words for the inquisitive word lover. Go ahead. Its a pleasure to talk to you. Ive heard you describe yourself as a dilute just that i havent heard must and having you promote taxation and his theories and im wondering why that is the case. Mostly because im beatendown by my right wing intellectual friends, they almost always find something wrong im talking about the capacity to increase capital and labor but none to increase land. Since wealth is the function, land will affect would be if you have a parking lot in the building next to it, the tax on the parking lot should be same as the tax on the building because you shouldnt encourage land disfiguration. A fund of situations where the theory would be applicable which he was in the 20s and 30s but he was on the. Im going to ask you about this book, i am fascinated. In going to see if you can pronounce the weird word, the fear of having Peanut Butter stuck to the roof of your mouth. Is it just . I think so. The first time we were both members of the televised panel discussing words. The moderator asked me what the word was, i felt smoke, an entire paragraph from the political economist, henry george. Did you write all of these in the book . Was taken from the text. Thats the whole idea from the book, take words that have been used and supply the complex in which it was used. What is the word for the fear of having Peanut Butter stuck to the roof of your mouth . Phobia. What you had to learn it after eating Peanut Butter 40 years ago. [laughter] and never had the. Memphis. Its a pleasure to talk to you. Ive been a tremendous fan for all these years. I read a lot of your fiction and nonfiction. It seems in overdrive or one of the books about your weeks, you made mention of the fact that you are, you have considered the issue of the 17th as the author of the shakespeare. What is your position on this . I was influenced by who wrote a book on it, how to get around the fact that he died in zero seven, zero six and romeo and he appeared two or three or four years later. Now the estimation, there being out, however, logical case is very striking, interrupting you. No, so many cameras around me, its not. Other contemporary pallets in 1972 and sophie wilkins. Shes a great famous translator, she lives in the columbia area. The book is once again another collection and articles i wrote have braille and columns and some of those from the magazine. Denver. Im going to send his comment from contemporary female writers, notably for sticking rights and National Review and also, i like his comments on the writings and tell you. Thank you. They are both brilliant writers. She said i could never understand why the consider controller terry confinement as a punishment. The iconic one is devastating. She somehow takes a position others might feel it because its so shocking. Involving everything. Its a convincing tenacity. He asked if he would ask king to do one of these programs. Did you remember her saying that . He did ask her and she sent a letter saying absolutely under no circumstances will i ever even consider being on your program. Absolutely.
