William F. Buckley. Hey, It's Cultural History

There was an article making the rounds yesterday about some study showing teenagers today have not enough historical or literary education to identify references to their own culture.
I for one am thankful for the term crypto-Nazi, I use it daily.
The exact quote, on national TV, was "Now listen you goddam queer, stop calling me a crypto-Nazi..."
Classic. Buckley v. (Gore) Vidal letting their differences hang out at the '68 Democratic Convention in Chicago. Dates me, I know.
