This is one of your best pieces and some of your questions posed have my head all awhirl.
Tiny side note: When I played Moon in Tom Stoppard's THE REAL INSPECTOR HOUND, a play about theatre critics, I based my character on Buckley. And with no internet or videos in 1978, I used my recollections of the man from the televised debates and his appearances on THE DICK CAVETT SHOW.
Wow. What a great essay. This makes me want to fly to London right now and see this. As for an essay about Best of Enemies and The Doctor, you are smart enough and brave enough. Do it. I can't wait to read it. Even if I never fly to London to see either of these plays.
I'm headed to London next week and have tickets to see Best of Enemies. Your review is fantastic. I have early memories of the debates, although I was only five. Of course I understood nothing that was said, but the body language of the two men made a huge impression on me. You captured those memories perfectly.
