A packed house at (JSC's Belk

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

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

himself in basic affinity with
Joseph Stalin's paranoia towards

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

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.
Among Macrae's other observations:
"Urbanization is about
to end; re-ruralization will begin";
there will be shortages of
everything except population and
pollution. New forms of business
