- September 7, 1988
Taped on 09/07/1988. Originally broadcast live, this debate crackles with plenty of substance from start to finish. William F. Buckley leads off for the affirmative by quoting Morton Kondracke to the effect that Michael Dukakis's "foreign policy is pure McGovern." While George McGovern himself leads off for the negative by reviewing U.S.-Soviet relations over the past seventy-five years.
