Firing Line: William F. Buckley Interviews Allan Bloom (1987)

Immediately after Allan Bloom published The Closing Of The American Mind, everyone wanted a piece of him. Especially TV pundits on the right. Though Bloom himself was a deeply liberal (and gay) author, scholar, and educator, he could see the writing on the wall: the fixation that his "team" had on "democratising" higher education, and its obsession with unworkable notions of abstract "equality" were destroying the culture. And he wanted to stop it.
