Description
Episode Description
More than a year after our last look at the START (Strategic Arms Reduction Talks) negotiations (Firing Line #S795, with Henry Kissinger), and even as the East-West dynamic was being radically recast by events in Germany, Rumania, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and Poland, Mr. Burt gives us a sobering but illuminating insider's view of everything from nuclear proliferation in the Third World, to the stabilizing effect of redundant weapons. RB: "There is, in fact, a kind of second Russian Revolution under way. Remember, at the beginning of the first French Revolution no one would have predicted that 13 years later Napoleon's army would have been marching around Europe." 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.
