- An Approach to IllegitimacyA14
An Approach to IllegitimacyTaped on Apr 27, 1993 (New York City, NY) As Mr. Buckley points out, the rising rate of illegitimacy (17 per cent among whites currently, 62 per cent among blacks) is an issue not only morally, but also in terms of its fostering other pathologies--crime, illiteracy, drug use. Mr. Blankenhorn is earnest rather than sparkling, but he has a lot to say. "In our interviews we've found the most severe critics of the current welfare system to be the people who are on it. They'll tell you in unequivocal terms that it is a pretty terrible thing, and they'll tell you that one of the terrible things about it is that it's part of a system that effectively keeps men out of family life." Guest(s): 1) Blankenhorn, David. - President of the Institute for American Values http://hoohila.stanford.edu/firingline/programView2.php?programID=1361
