Today’s Between the Covers podcast is with Steven R. Weisman, editor of Daniel Patrick Moynihan: A Portrait in Letters of an American Visionary. We discuss why Moynihan succeeded as both an intellectual and a politician when so many others have failed, why conservatives both admired him and were aggravated by him, and where he ranks historically among senators. Also, we go over this line, from a letter Moynihan wrote to WFB: “Someone has to tell you, and it might as well be me. You, Bill Buckley, are a conservative, not a right-winger.” Weisman deciphers Moynihan’s meaning.
