I always loved Firing Line, especially because unlike any number of interviers (David Frost comes to mind), Buckley always remembered that he was not the star of the interview. He also had a great sense of humor. Once, when he had Alan Ginsburg on, Ginsburg started to do his Krishna chanting. Buckley, looking bemused, waited about 30 seconds, and then cautioned "Mr. Ginsburg, if you continue carrying on like this I may be forced to ask you to read some more of your poetry." Priceless.
