| NEWS IN BRIEF: CNN's `Firing Line' comes to Rice University for taping |
|
William F. Buckley Jr. brings his "Firing Line" program to Rice University
today, and the public is invited to the taping of a two-hour debate and two
half-hour shows on a first-come basis.
The debate topic is "Resolved: Environmentalists have gone too far, too fast." Former CNN "Crossfire" personality Michael Kinsley will moderate the arguments among eight participants, including Buckley, Senator Larry Craig (R-Idaho), former California Governor Jerry Brown, Sierra Club director Carl Pope and others. Following the debate, Buckley and Kinsley will face questions on any topic from a panel of Rice undergraduates for one half-hour program, then take the challenges of law students from Dallas and Houston for the final half hour. The three programs will be taped in Stude Concert Hall of Alice Patt Brown Hall. Parking will be available in the stadium lot adjacent to the building. Public seating for the 2 p.m. debate will be from 1:30 p.m. to 1:45 p.m., with no one allowed in or out of the hall until the conclusion of taping at 4 p.m. Seating for the two half-hour-long programs will be from 4 p.m. to 4:10 p.m. and from 4:40 p.m. to 4:50 p.m., respectively. For more information, call the Public Affairs Office of Rice at (713)831-4700, ext. 102, or send e-mail to firingline@rice.edu .
