Firing Line with William F. Buckley Jr. "Capital Punishment"

Taped on 04/11/1966. The death penalty was under heavy attack in the courts and public forums, and polls indicated that it was the issue that most sharply divided liberals from conservatives. Buckley and Steve Allen begin by discussing why this should be a touchstone issue, and progress to considerations of whether the death penalty in fact deters, and whether it can be morally defended.
