As per @samtanenhaus: BEST OF ENEMIES is a fine film & should be watched. But should be supplemented with meatier Buckley debates
@brianmdoherty @samtanenhaus Late period WFB not good. A carefully edited "best of" Buckley volume would give Vidal a run for his money

@HeerJeet@samtanenhaus I'm going to doubt that, but I would read a Heer-edited WFB career anthology with careful attention. -
@brianmdoherty@samtanenhaus I'm sure the National Review people would love a Heer-edited WFB anthology.

@HeerJeet@samtanenhaus re: that old piece I did later read many Vidal novels and some WFB; Vidal clearly wins there as well. -
@brianmdoherty@samtanenhaus As@JamesWolcott says, WFB's strength was speed with which he could write, weakness unwillingness to revise.
