next is the author of a very important book on william f. buckley junior. they've taught at one of the prestigious universities in the nation. he has written articles for numerous newspapers, magazines, he was a principal spokesman for the 9/11 commission that we are familiar with. and he also served as an advisor to the state department and the defense department in two different presidential administrations. he was also on the republican majority staff in the house that on representative and this is what his book looks like. i want all of you to make sure that you have seen the two because you're going to want to buy at least three. nobody should want to go home without this but last not least is the situation here sitting next to me as both he is waltera native of massachusetts grew up in california. at the stanford university he came back again to become a graduate of harvard university law school. he has served in many functions as an expert on international law and one of the places he served as a place that we are all familiar with in hong kong. he a

william f. buckley believed that you should go forth and proselytize and educate and help young conservatives where you can. i honestly believe, wrote about it in a book i published, the young conservatives tend to come out of college -- if they can keep their heads and wits about them -- they tend to come out of college smarter and better equipped for political fights them really smart young liberal kids. it is not because conservatives are inherently smarter, it is just that the best learning is done through the socratic method, when you have your assumptions question, your first principles questioned, and you have to think it through. you could be the smartest liberal kid on a college campus, and all you will do is hear professors saying things you already agree with. you don't build up -- the edge of the knife gets sharp against friction of the stone. did things go with the flow. living things swim upstream. that is how you build up muscle memory. so conservative kids that can keep their pri

william f buckley was a champion of ideas on the right and kennedy was a champion of ideas where he lived. sometimes on the left, sometimes in the middle. the space program was exciting and it was an exciting scientific idea. i wish we could think of something similar. i think we have something and it is the fight to save our planet, which is not so different from the space effort. there is a photograph of the earth as a fragile blue marble in a dark universe and it reminded people that we have to take care of this place. it would be great to see of bipartisan, global effort with signs and ideas along similar lines. >> in fact, we recently interviewed caroline kennedy and her three kids and therefore john f. kennedy's grandchildren. we asked them about the grandfather and he said, if my grandfather was alive today, he would have taken this idea concept and directed it at the environment. whether it is a company or a country thinks of a really big idea, they call it "a moon shot." he literally brought us the first moonshot. i think we need to do more of that and it seemed unreachable as a

on the recommendation of william f. buckley, hoover presidential library association, now the hoover presidential foundation, contracted with dr. nash to write a multivolume biography of herbert hoover. the three volumes that resulted in the life of herbert hoover , the engineer, the humanitarian of emergencies, remains the most thorough treatment of prisoners life from the president's life from birth through the end of his work in the wilson administration as head of the food administration. he expertly edited hoover's unpublished writings, and the crusade years, herbert hoover's lost memoir. as one of our archivists described george, he is someone who will forget more than i will ever know about herbert hoover. dr. nash is currently working on a study of herbert hoover and franken roosevelt. that's franklin -- and franklin roosevelt. his talk today is entitled the great engineer."

. >> look, you know, if you go back and watch, for instance, william f. buckley's show, "the firing line." he'd have intellectual adversaries, could get very heated and was sharp. one of the things that made those encounters so rich and so interesting, especially to intelligent people is buckley and his guests understood each other well, and so when they were debating they could actually lock horns in a significant way, and there was a chance they, you know, a possibility that one side or the other would be persuaded. we just don't do that anymore. we kind of sit on our separate islands of ideology, and identity, and we sort of lob -- we -- we lob artillery shells at one another without actually a kind of basis of communication. i think that's why many of us feel those of us who are sort of somewhere in the center of politics, that there's something really perverse and wrong with the way that americans speak to one another in my view, culminating in that appalling statement by the president about colin kaepernick. . >> when do you feel this began? somethi

here, in a 1966 intervivew with william f. buckley. >> what it really comes down to is an attempt to establish what has been called a new morality. i really think that's what this thing called the 'american sexual revolution' is really all about. >> brown: hefner launched his company into movies, tv, and clothing. and opened clubs, resorts and casinos crammed with playboy 'bunnies' with rabbit ears and fluffy tails. an expanding empire, but also a rising chorus of critics who saw the playboy fantasy as exploitative and vulgar. in 1963, then 28-year-old feminist gloria steinem briefly worked undercover at the new york playboy club. and published "a bunny's tale," an article that described how the women were overworked and underpaid, the atmosphere rampantly sexist and 'tacky'. feminist blasts never abated, but hefner was unrepentent. >> the suggestion that somehow or other "playboy" exploits women is really a political point of view. the truth of the matter is, we celebrate sexuality and we celebrate the sexuality of the women
