Given that this guy stopped being a serious economist sometime in the early 70s and started being an ideologue who made his fortune giving speeches, it's no wonder that he'd be pretty good at public speaking given that's basically what his career was until his death. I think part of the reason for the clarity is that because these folks grew up without great audio production, they were forced to enunciate as clearly as possible, both on the radio and on stage. It's also why it's hard for me to watch old films and take the characters seriously. Nobody actually talked like that.
