which was a critical analysis of the faculty at Yale. He continued writing throughout
his life eventually publishing more than 50 other books from novels to history
and politics. Mr. Buckley is best known for his television show, Firing line,
he hosted 1,429 episodes of the show, which became an important program for
debating American politics. Buckley was also recruited by the Central
Intelligence(in-tel-i-juhns) Agency and served in Mexico for nine months in 1951.
