- Description
- Episode Description
- As Dr. Tamarkin puts it, "This whole issue of AIDS is so sensitive politically ... it's a lightning rod for a lot of strong opinions because it has to do with seeking pleasure, with sex, with drugs, with a contagious illness for which there is no cure." Mr. Fumento is a serious student of the spread of the disease, and while his findings are far from uncontroversial (he was working on a book to be called The Myth of Heterosexual AIDS), he has the facts and figures in hand for this perhaps surprisingly low-key discussion of a highly emotional topic. Currently there is only a digitized transcript available for this episode.
- 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.
