Dear Mr. Buckley,

Perhaps it has never occurred to you, but most people do not tune in to Firing Line to hear your inane opinions and tedious talk, but, rather, we tune in to hear your guests. You do, as a rule, have some extraordinarily interesting guests. We all look forward to the times you realize you are outclassed and are content to be quiet and listen. I want to protest your boorish behavior toward Miss Jessica Mitford in your last show. You interrupted her every time she tried to develop a line of thought, badgered her over trivia, and left me with a feeling of annoyance at you and sympathy for her.
