Legacy Journal: William F. Buckley
Section:
Politics
Summary:
William F. Buckley, Jr and John F. Kennedy both visited Eugene and the University of Oregon in 1959-60. Both were impressive men to those of us who were young sophomores and unsophisticated, small town country rubes. We knew we has seen the elephant.
Main:
We did read the newspaper and watch B&W TV so were were aware of the that writer Buckley was tilting the windmills of Godless Yale University. Kennedy was preparing his bold move from the Senate to the White House.
Both were tall, tanned, elegant, articulate, and to the manor born. The Ivy League was part of their shared pedigree.
WFB’s UofO forum was the Fishbowl in the Student Union where he spoke without notes in patrician tones about what, I do not recall. But his style was memorable. His tailored suit was without a crease, the knot of his tire was just right, his posture and diction were perfect, his message was cool, clear and logical.
JFK’s college appearance was a quick Q&A with a small campus group gathered at the cramped studio of the campus radio station.
