He was an insane driver on very uneven dirt roads. As a 12 year old I was fascinated with their lively arguments about politics. Nixon was still in office and Galbraith said not for long. <br />Buckley was quite an affable man, very engaging, friendly and spontaneous. He didn't seem to have the same logical rigor as JKG, and I frankly thought he did not win any argument with him.tonylearnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15168161576867493109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-84214838759249917582014-08-06T08:13:15.920-04:002014-08-06T08:13:15.920-04:00Well, I finally make it to Singapore where I can a...Well, I finally make it to Singapore where I can access sites that the Great Chinese Firewall blocks.
