Sympc it v U in hi ovtn A packed house at (JSC's Belk Auditorium "entered America's Third Century" Friday night and left with many probably wishing they'd never come. From an educational or informational view, the trip was a dismal failure. Were it not for the extemporaneous, entertaining Buckley repartee, the whole nretentious affair would have been X - a fiasco. Billed in the spirit of the Bicentennial as the Second Annual Virginia and Donald S. Russell International Symposium "with the distinguished participation of Daniel Bell, professor, Harvard University; William F.

Kilpatrick began his newspapt Richmond News Leader, speciali >sium le The Economist, it had as its theme, "Entering America's Third Century." One will never know whether Bell's sudden failure to appear because of illness would have enhanced an otherwise "ho-hum" evening. As it was, the program format was a waste of Buckley's time and considerable talents. Perhaps it was the best of a bad situation. Macrae, in his "clip British" Cambridge accent, had almost metaphysical predictions for America, but on elaboration proved quite adept at submerging in obfuscation the more esoteric parts of his "10 controversial id.1 n propositions. This alone obviated much of Buckley's rebuttal of the so-called controversial points, which were tmecock riMMnl rark Twain at 8:15 p.m. April 20 in ih e.

Macrae had earlier expressed outrage at Stalin's threats to murder his doctors. But clearly Buckley was straining as "defender of the faith," as Russell called him, to find any but the most obscure points to contradict the brash Briton, who has devoted a good -deal of his literary life dissecting the American psyche. Most ot Macrae s crystal balling in America was more benign than shocking and controversial, as he had promised, and replete with a certain naivete. Among his proposals were these ' 'shocking" revelations in America's future: "Economic growth will accelerate instead of decline," "nuclear proliferation," "technological expertise Knrr? Ulli J.

Also, birth control will increase along with manipulation of the human organism. He asserted what many conservatives have been claiming for some time America is declining. The United States' decline in 1975 parallels Britain's decline in 1875, Macrae said, in his urbane manner. The British have admittedly become experts at spotting decay, having been able to observe it at close quarters for more than 100 years.
