Buckley at High Point College Highlights Conservative Flair
William F Buckley Jr spoke at Memorial Auditorium, High Point College, on freedom from a conservative view. The lecture formed the second in a college series on liberal and conservative thought in American political tradition. Buckley, famed for Firing Line and The National Review, mixed humor with sharp digs at foes while recalling meetings and past political stances. He praised Ronald Reagan yet critiqued his foreign policy realism, and noted Kissinger’s historical role. The talk mingled satire with political critique in a lively campus event.
