"For 50 years, Noam Chomsky, has been America’s Socrates, our public pest with questions that sting. He speaks not to the city square of Athens but to a vast global village in pain and now, it seems, in danger. The world in trouble today still beats a path to Noam Chomsky’s door, if only because he’s been forthright for so long about a whirlwind coming.

Buckley Jr., meeting Chomsky’s icy anger about the war in Vietnam, in 1969. It’s a strange thing about Noam Chomsky: The New York Times calls him 'arguably' the most important public thinker alive, though the paper seldom quotes him, or argues with him, and giant pop-media stars on network television almost never do. ..."
