- Description
- Episode Description
- Mr. Vaughn--who in his best-known TV role, Napoleon Solo on The Man from UNCLE, hunted bad guys on behalf of the United Nations--was on record as saying that "the war in Vietnam cannot be rationalized by moral man." His reasons go back to the Geneva accord of 1954 and the ways in which the United States abetted Ngo Dinh Diem in avoiding elections in 1956. RV: "I don't believe that we can stop the spread of Communism by sacrificing the principles of democracy." An often heated discussion that helps us focus on the whole background to the late-Sixties divisions.
- Series Description
- The television series Firing Line with William F. Buckley Jr. was a venue for debate and discussion on political, social, and philosophical issues with experts of the day. Firing Line broadcasts from 1966 through March 1971 were produced and syndicated by WOR-TV, a commercial station in New York, but some of them were also broadcast on noncommercial television stations. Starting in April 1971, Firing Line broadcasts were produced by the Southern Educational Communications Association, an arm of South Carolina Educational Television.
