The only thoughts I can finish these days seem to be belated ones. Here I am slightly expanding on a “tweet” of mine in reaction to the news of arch-conservative William F. Buckley passing away.
Mostly fond and polite remembrances were aired across the media.
But in an often included common clip, which I heard it on NPR and others heard or saw elsewhere, was an excerpt from a debate between Buckley and Noam Chomsky on Buckley’s Firing Line program.
