Firing Line Friday: What Does PEN Have to Offer?

     In the hopes of encouraging a more civil, and illuminating, discourse, here is another episode of William F. Buckley, Jr.’s “Firing Line”.

     The question of art and oppression, of description or proscription, is long an ongoing question.   Let us look back forty-years ago when Norman Mailer and Kurt Vonnegut, who were raising money for the New York conference of PEN (the international society of poets, essayists, editors, and novelists) discuss with William F. Buckley, Jr. the question of what does PEN have to offer?

     Until next Friday.
