I watched his debate with Chomsky from the 60's, I believe. A total gentleman he was. I found it odd that he was referring to America as 'us'. I always thought he was from GB. I looked his article up on Wikipedia and it said that he was born to american parents and was raised in the states. Is this correct? The guy tore Chomsky from limb to limb all while wearing a wink and a warm smile. Great orator/debator.

Am still amazed to find out that he wasn't English.

Aha gotcha'. Gotta' love that.

I also notice that he had a tendency to threaten to punch people in the face on air. Again, gotta love that. Peace.

Buckley wasn't a limey, but he was raised there.

That's where he got his dental habits.
