TL;dr: pre-1965, as long as the Birch Society was politically useful, Buckley walked a tightrope: Robert Welch nutty but ordinary Birchers good people. 1965 break triggered by the John Birch Society coming out against the Vietnam war (admittedly on freaky grounds).

Has Buckley ever given an account of why and on what date he supposedly left the CIA after being recruited in 1951 and reporting to E. Howard Hunt in Mexico City?
