You can catch it (in parts) here.  

I look forward to Vidal's reaction.

They dont make commentators like Buckley anymore.
Rush and Sean and all the others need to learn from Buckley, and  stop using Goeblls as their template

...but I will NOT miss him.

with the likes of the new neocon staff. He expressed grave concerns in '04. Interesting observations on DKos on WFB Jr. being a Georgian; Georgians do not believe in owning property. He also believed that you should face your wife in intercourse so as to engage her fully physically and psychologically as an equal; a primary Buddhist doctrine. I had the pleasure of interviewing him a few years back on background; he was full of ideas like that and on things like the return of the tzar to Russia at the fall of the U.S.S.R. and the role of monarchy as a stabilizing psychological element in government. Look forward to Cavett's commentary at the NYTs.

of people with whom he had disagreements.  If you didn't know your stuff, he would tear you to shreds, but the discussions were always on the merits of the argument rather than trivial stuff or character assassination.  While I didn't often agree with him, his style of debate was always entertaining.

I remember a SCTV skit where they had a program called "The Firing Squad".  The "guest" was Meatloaf (John Candy), who was made to look like an utter fool as Buckley spoke to him in Latin.

The LA Times reports:

Astrophysicist Robert Jastrow, who played a key role in developing NASA's program of lunar and solar system exploration but was much better known as a television commentator who explained space science in clear and understandable language, died Feb. 8 at his home in Arlington, Va., from complications of pneumonia. He was 82.

One of the first staffers at NASA, Jastrow was an early advocate of incorporating science into the fledgling space race, recruiting scientific talent and advocating forcefully for more experimentation.

As the founder and 20-year head of the Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York, he oversaw planning for the Pioneer, Voyager and Galileo space probes, which returned the first good information about other planets in the solar system. The institute also played a key role in research on the use of satellites to study climate and weather on Earth.

Unlike many of his contemporaries, who thought scientists should remain secluded in their laboratories, Jastrow was a frequent guest on CBS and NBC during the missions to the moon, educating millions of Americans about orbital mechanics and the physics of spacecraft, as well as the history of the solar system.

He later hosted more than 100 programs for CBS explaining space and other scientific problems.

"He had a deep sense of the need to interpret science and make it available to the public," said Johns Hopkins University planetary scientist Albert Arking, a former student of Jastrow. "His enthusiasm for science was infectious."
