>From when Chomsky was invited on Buckley's television show:

WILLIAM F. BUCKLEY, JR.: I rejoice in your disposition to argue the
Vietnam question, especially when I recognize what an act of
self-control this must involve.

NOAM CHOMSKY: It does.

WILLIAM F. BUCKLEY, JR.: Sure.

NOAM CHOMSKY: It really does. I mean, I think that it's the kind of
issue where—

WILLIAM F. BUCKLEY, JR.: And you're doing very well. You're doing very well.

NOAM CHOMSKY: Sometimes I lose my temper. Maybe not tonight.

WILLIAM F. BUCKLEY, JR.: Maybe not tonight, because as you would, I'd
smash you in the goddamn face.

It makes me wonder how often in his life Buckley pulled that one out.
R.I.P. fucker.
