September 1, 1993. Hosted by Brian Lamb. Mr. Hitchens discussed the publication of his book, For the Sake of Argument, which is a compendium of articles that he has written. He stated that the purpose of this book was a reply to the widespread notion that society no longer needs critique from the left. He hopes to restore the left as a "very necessary part of the political argument." Articles included in the book were published in various periodicals.
