Saving Elephants 110 Reaching the Future with Marlo Slayback

Under the leadershipof their first president, a young journalist named William F. Buckley Jr., ISI began mentoring young men and women to become eloquent defenders of the principles of liberty. And they have continued this legacy on to today.
