This bein' sure nuff the start of a new year and a new decade and all, the major news media are preoccupied with assessing the future.   Not to be outdone, the blue-tail fly hereby examines from a variety of viewpoints the possibilities of what Today's young people are coming to and where they're going.   BUCKY YOUNG
is the Master of Ceremonies---
a hip Ted Mack, you might say. Then again, you might not.
. .dare we say it"Berkeley"and all that it symbolizes.
--William F. Buckley Jr. ("On the Right")
One of Buckley's recent syndicated columns unexpectedly dwelled at length on the grisly atrocities committed in the My Lai massacre. But he then proceeded to blame the slaughter not on the influence of militarism, but on the above.   Underlying Buckley's relentless stream of death wishes (for us, not him), his central fear seems to be what he feels is a kind of mindless depravity on our part.   He sees the Youth of Today as impudently deserting God, Country, Motherhood and Apple Pie and, as part of a frenzied fad, turning to drugs, anarchy and depraved bohemianism. Underneath it all, he seems convinced that our drug-mesmerized minds will be putty in the hands of totalitarian elements (on the left, of course).   You might consider it--if you can take seriously anything coming from someone who, as a teen-ager, is known to have spread a mixture of honey and feathers on pews and placed "obscene" pictures in the prayer books of a church whose minis ter's wife, a real estate agent, sold a home to a Jewish family in Buckley's WASP neighborhood.
