In 1965, a great queer Black American writer debated a smug repugnant (but hyper-articulate) bigot at the Cambridge Union.  This play recreates that debate.  Try not to let Buckley creep you out too much.  On second thought, be sure to get creeped out by him.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Sidecar:  pour 1-1/2 oz. Brandy, 1 oz. Cointreau, and 1/2 oz. lemon juice into an ice-filled cocktail shaker.  Shake.  Strain into a chilled Martini glass or coupe.  I'll leave it up to you whether to rim the glass with sugar first.
