"A unique and compelling portrait of William F.

When , he reached beyond conservative enclaves, engaging millions of Americans across the political spectrum. Each week on , Buckley and his guests"šÃ„îthe cream of America"šÃ„ôs intellectual class, such as Tom Wolfe, Noam Chomsky, Norman Mailer, Henry Kissinger, and Milton Friedman"šÃ„îdebated the urgent issues of the day, bringing politics, culture, and economics into American living rooms as never before. Buckley himself was an exemplary host; he never appealed to emotion and prejudice; he engaged his guests with a unique and entertaining combination of principle, wit, fact, a truly fearsome vocabulary, and genuine affection for his adversaries.
