God, I loved Watson. I'm about 8 years younger than Lou, so Watson  
helped me make it through high school.

Buckley sold WNCN in 1974. He says he did it for the shareholders.  
When it comes to a conflict between culture and cash, cash always  
wins. I wrote him a letter of complaint, pointing to our common  
history in the Party of the Right. He wrote back pleading economic  
necessity.
