JAMES J. KILPATRICK, a leading conservative spokesman, and Karl Hess, a “libertarian of the left,” meet in a colloquy Friday, July 18, at 7 p.m. at the Rappahannock Elementary School in Washington, Va. The purpose of the colloquy is to explore together the possibility that decentralization could provide a solution to energy and pollution problems. This is the sixth in an eight-part weekly series on Solar Energy and the Environment sponsored byNethers Community School of Woodville. Mary Jamieson, chairman of the Library Board of Rappahannock County will be the moderator for the program.
Karl Hess was the principal writer for the 1960 and 1964 Republican national platforms, and Barry Goldwater’s chief speechwriter. He was ghostwriter for Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford, and the founding editor of National Review. In a recent book entitled, “Dear America,” Karl Hess discusses why he evolved from a conservative to a radical. “Only on the American left,” Hess says, “is there active hope for a reconstruction of the traditional American ideals of self-managment, self-responsibility, and a co-operative locally-centered society." Today Karl Hess is a Fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies and the director of Community Technology, a Washington, D. C. program trying to bring science and technology to the people of the Adams Morgan neighborhood in an effort to improve their circumstances and increase their self-sufficiency.
James Jackson Kilpatrick became a copy boy at the age of 12. At the age of 20 he graduated from the University of Missouri School of Journalism.
