FLIP SNIP "Back Talk" in the January 17 issue was unreasoned and condescending in tone toward the work of Andrew Smith and Good Citizen. "Hyperactive," "mania," "the year in screaming musicians"...your day-glo language lit the page afire but in its psychoanalytical miscreancy missed a mark that journalists are expected to aim for. A C D of Burlington bands covering songs by Burlington bands is a creative idea. It's an inclusive project with scope and merit but you dismissed it with, "Great, if you know enough about Black Hairy Tongue...," as if the music wouldn't stand without reference and the C D was not meant for people who might dig music in general. You'd be prudent to wait until the album exists before reviewing it. You might consider basing your opinions on something other than caprice or flippancy. When you finally hear the album you might think it's good. Too bad the people who read your column will miss out because they thought you knew what you were talking about.

LET'S BE FRANK
TRIAL A N D ERROR It is certainly comforting to know that the Vermont Trial Lawyers Association has determined that each and every one of Vermont's trial judges is "competent." But what exactly is it that they are competent to do? Take Judge Amy Davenport. Please. Now Judge Davenport is obviously competent at limiting the overcrowding of Vermont prisons. This should make her extraordinarily popular with the vast majority of Vermonters who consist of either taxpayers or criminals. As evidenced by her sentencing in the Cole Grant case, Judge Davenport has apparently come up with a sure-fire method of keeping our prisons underpopulated. Don't send anyone to jail! Much to her credit, Judge Davenport was not in the least deterred from her prison depopulation mission by the mere fact that Grant instigated a brutal, unprovoked assault causing permanent damage to his victim. The judge's vast judicial experience enabled her to discern that the victim was a white heterosexual male, and, therefore, not the victim of some insidious hate crime. Further, the victim was apparently foolish enough to believe that he had a right to be working on Church Street after midnight. How is that Cole Grant's fault? Finally, Cole Grant is busily pursuing an academic career, and took the fourageous step^ to apologize and promise that he would never do it again. Under those circumstances, how could Judge Davenport have possibly done anything other than free the lad? Kind of makes you wonder what she would have done with Leopold and Loeb.

My question: Why is it customary for males to wash their hands after urination? I never do, which shocks and disgusts some of my guy friends. I bathe daily and wear fresh underpants, so how does my penis get dirty? It's not like I dig ditches with it. However, my hands might get dirty from daily activities. Is it not more sensible then to wash my hands before touching my clean penis? Is post-urination hand-washing a throwback to the bad old days when sex was "dirty" and so, by extension, were sex organs? I'm serious about this. Please advise. - T o m Sharpley, Los Angeles

topic. Some facts: t. The purpose of washing is not to get pee oft your hands. 2. No amount of washing will make you clean. 3. You have to do it, anyway. I've said this before: Your boxer-shorts region - from belly button to midthigh - is crawling with germs known as coliform bacteria. These bacteria originated in your intestine, and some of them are deadly. Remember punji stakes? They were sharpened ,sticks that the Yietcong concealed point up along _ trails and daubed with excrement. If you stepped on one you had a good chance of contracting a fatal infection. Similarly, an otherwise not-so-serious gunshot or knife injury could kill you if it perforated the intestine and allowed coliform bacteria to spread around your abdomen. But you know this (or at least you ought to). What you may not know is that washing will not make the coliform bacteria go away. They're holed up in the pores of your skin and nothing short of sandblasting - certainly not your morning shower - is going to get them out. Showering merely gets rid of the ones that have strayed onto the surface. The bacteria won't do much harm if they stay put, but when you urinate your fingers come in contact with Mister P. long enough for the coliform bacteria in your pores to hop aboard. Your fingers subsequently touch lots ot other infectible items. If you don't wash your hands with soap and water (soap gets rid of the skin oil that the bacteria stick to)...hello, Typhoid Mary. It now dawns on you: Jeez, if merely touching my privates is enough to transmit bacteria, it doesn't matter if I pee or not! Just so. Urine itself is actually fairly sterile. Cecil has read reports of it being used during wartime in poor countries as - I'm not making this up - a sort of battlefield Bactine. (U.S. doctors generally blanch at this.) The lesson to draw from this, however, is not that you can go forth dripping (yuck), but rather that just because you didn't pee on your fingers doesn't mean you can skip washing up. What's the difference between a hydrogen bomb and an atomic bomb?! How lethal are they? Please find out!! - Anonymous I told you not to buy stuff at those Kiev flea markets. The original atomic bomb used nuclear fission, in which big atoms (uranium or plutonium) were split into littler ones in a chain reaction, releasing vast amounts of energy. The hydrogen bomb employs nuclear fusion, in which little atoms (various forms of hydrogen) fuse together to make bigger ones (helium), essentially the same process that occurs in the sun. Fusion bombs are a thousand times more powerful than fission bombs, which are a million times more powerful than chemical ones Wouldn't you be just as happy with, say, a cherry bomb? - CECIL ADAMS Is there something you need to get straight?

Governor Howard Dean has had it up to here with his two favorite Democratic critics in the state senate, and he's not pulling his punches. The two in question are Senators Elizabeth Ready of Addison County and Cheryl Rivers of Windsor County. For eight years they've been the upper chamber's unabashed liberals. Along with Sen. Dick McCormack, they lined up with 14 Republicans a couple of weeks ago to throw a major kink into the state's deficit-reduction engine. The "usual suspects," as Dr. Dean has referred to them of late, helped tack an amendment onto the bill that would have wiped out Vermont's $15 million worth of 1995 red ink faster than you could say "presto chango." The amendment called for a halt in the implementation of Ho-Ho's health care reform express. They won't succeed in stopping that train since the House won't buy it, but they have succeeded in mucking up the deficit-reduction timetable — the one Ho-Ho sold Wall Street on in November. Is the Gov upset? Royally ticked off is more like it. So when yours truly asked our beloved governor the other day for an assessment of Ready and Rivers, "no comment" was not in the range of possible answers. "On critical issues like health care," replied HoHo, "they vote with the Republicans. I don't consider Elizabeth to be a Democrat." Say whit? Does that apply to Sen. Rivers, Gov? "Cheryl has a long, distinguished career of trying to do good things for other people," said Dean, "which unfortunately ended when she got into the state senate." Ouch! Before being elecred to the senate in 1988, Rivers was a fixture under the golden dome as a lobbyist for the Vermont Low-Income Advocacy Council. Queen Madeleine was in charge and Rivers was a force. Informed of Ho-Ho's warm and fuzzy comments, Rivers replied "I'm very proud of the work I did then and I'm very proud of the work I've done since I've been in the senate. She said she's been Dean's "strongest supporter" in the senate on transportation issues. "But do I agree with him on everything? No." In an earlier interview Ready had taken the high road in discussing her relations with the state's chief Democrat. She noted she had a "lifelong committment" to issues of social justice. "It's a very, very valid point of view that should be discussed here," she said. "I'm not at war with the Governor," insisted Ready. "These are important issues and they can't be allowed to be brought down to the level of personalities."
One hour later, after Ho-Ho had unofficially cast her out of the Democratic Party, Lizzie's sharp tongue came to the fore. "Some governors," she said, "are like banty roosters running around in a barnyard. They make a lot of noise, but it doesn't amount to much " With the scent of civil war hanging heavy in the Statehouse air, yours truly sought out a peacemaker in the person of Rep. Steve

Howard of Rutland — the chairman of the Vermont Democratic Party. Informed of HoHo's barbed comments, L'il Stevie took a deep breath and said, "The Governor made a mistake. Clearly Senators Ready and Rivers care an awful lot about the issues they bring to the table." The best spin he could put on the mess was to declare "Rivers and Ready are very good Democrats and Governor Dean is a very good Democrat, too." But just what Democratic Party do these characters belong to? Fact is, Mr. Party Chairman hasn't even met with the Big " b Cheese since he won his new title in November by defeating Dean's candidate. It's clear that in Vermont, there's the Democratic Party, a basically left-leaning crowd that votes for Bernie Sanders, and then there's the Howard Dean Party. The Dems vote for him because there's nowhere else to go and Republicans like his breeding. As long as that's the way the state's political landscape stands, the head honcho of the Howard Dean Party can say what he damn well pleases. He's Back — As you read here first a couple weeks back, John Carroll is back on his feet and ready for Round Two of the race for lieutenant governor. J.C. took out a second mortgage through the Landmark Bank of Lebanon, New Hampshire (he says he also qualified for one from the Ledyard Bank of Norwich, but Landmark had better rates). And he's back at work at Banknorth in Burlap. Sure he got bloodied up a little on this one, but they say adversity builds character. Chances are his G O P rival, who jumped in at the first whiff of blood, will fumble and stumble along the trail, too. Don't you love primaries?

Media Notes — Alter years of trying, Vermont's boldest and brashest talk-radio host has made it onto the Chittenden County airwaves. "On the Air with Tim Philbin" was picked up Monday by WZBZ-AM. That's 1070 on the dial. He's doing the show 10 a.m.-noon Monday through Friday at the WSYB studios in Rudand. Philbin, who doesn't remember how many votes he did or didn't get in the 1992 congressional race against Ol' Bernardo, loves to come up with nicknames for celebrity pols and press types like Sam "Hemorrhoid" for "Burlington Freaky Press" columnist Sam Hemingway Cover your ears, folks. The Vermont version of Rush Limbaugh is on the screech. The Deal of the Decade? — According to reliable sources, a couple of local developers are in play with the grand scheme of bringing not only a badly needed civic center to Chittenden County, but a minor league icehockey franchise, too. The location — 1150 Hinesburg Road in South Burlington, just south of Lane Press. The 100 acre-plus parcel was purchased last month from the Marble Bank for $537,500. The buyer? "Summer Ice Joint Ventures," 82 Church St., Burlington. That's the H Q for the Mark Neagley Construction Company. Neagley didn't want to say much about the scheme Tuesday. "The deal," he told Inside Track, "is cloaked in all kinds of intrigue." His partner is Staige Davis, the realtor. The late word at deadline is that another unnamed developer is in play for the civic center crown. "It looks like somebody is beating us to the punch," said Davis. | An announcement could come as early as Wednesday. This could be a hot one. •

wrote the book on Nixon. H e drafted the domestic policy section of the official autobiography and received the former president s "most generous acknowledgment." T h e conservative U V M poli sci professor is less charitable with filmmaker Oliver Stone, likening his "abomination" of a docudrama to a "bad version of a Boris KarlofF movie." H e held out for three weeks before submitting to the three-hour portrait of a president some critics have compared to Shakespearean tragedy. "Oliver Stone is to Shakespeare what my basketball skills are to Michael Jordan's," Kaufman suggests. Like most insiders, he ; found fault with the facts, from the implication that Nixon was | involved in the assassination of the Kennedys to his choice of j cocktail. Kaufman says the prez drank martinis — stirred, not ! shaken, like James Bond. " W h y speculate in these areas when | there is enough in the undisputed record to make it interest| ing?" he asks. "Nixon had deep flaws. You didn't have to invent ! them." Kaufman confirms Nixon had a "healthy appetite for ! profanity" without displaying much in the way of emotion — j "I told my wife facetiously he was the kind of man who probaj bly took a bath in a shirt and tie." H e also witnessed firsthand l Nixon's Kennedy obsession. O f all the luminaries he contacted ! on the occasion of his wife's death, Nixon told Kaufman, only ; t h e Kennedys failed to respond. Stone would probably read con; spiracy into that silence. Kaufman chocks up Nixon's reaction to j insecurity, adding "his scorn was really one of unrequited yearn! ing." Kaufmans real beef with Nixon was political. "He was too | liberal," says the "token" conservative, who is now working on a j biography of Henry "Scoop" Jackson. " H e was not a healer. H e ! was unable to transcend the deep divisions in the country — I I am not sure anybody could. H e really didn't have the faith that | the United States was going to endure its time of troubles." | Kaufman had similar doubts about his own ability to sit I through Nixon. His favorite part of the epic bio-pic? "The end." 1

after Reefer Madness, Vermont takes a new look at an old crop — hemp or T H C , and is grown as a bush to promote bud growth. Industrial hemp, on the other hand, grows as a single 10-foot stem in dense plantings, like bamboo "You can smoke it all day," says Wade Torrance of American Hemp Mercantile in Seattle, "and all you get is a headache."
by the state department of agriculture. Within two years, it recommends "fullscale commercial production of industrial hemp."
Hemp Mercantile, which is part-owner of a hemp mill in Hungary. Red tape has not stopped it from growing — sales exploded from $30,000 to $1.5 million in its first two years of operation. "Our first market was every head shop in America," says Torrance. "From there we moved to university stores and ecostores. Now we are getting interest from the big guys: J. Crew recently carried three hemp bags. They said they were linen, but it was our fabric. Adidas makes hemp shoes. Calvin Klein designed some hemp vests. Now we are starting to move into wall and floor coverings — mainstream America."

A Burl Ives for the '90s he's the kind of guy who thinks dweebs, the alphabet, library books and Princess Di's hiccups are fodder for great songs. And hey, who says they aren't? The politically active younger brother of the late folksinger Harry Chapin, Tom graduated from SUNY Pittsburgh, performed for adults over two decades, and finally turned to a shorter audience when his daughters grew old enough to get his jokes. Now his hits get little airplay but lots of time on the car stereo. Chapin plays for all ages Friday at Memorial Auditorium.

Brad Pitt and Jane Austen have in common? They were all on People magazines list of the 25 most intriguing people last year. Never mind the fact that British novelist Jane Austen died 178 years ago: 1995 was a big year for her. Three movies were adapted from her books; each was well-made and acclaimed by audiences and critics alike. What author could ask for more? It's not the first time Austen was brought to life on the silver screen — Pride and Prejudice, starring Lawrence Olivier and Greer Garson, was made in 1940. But Hollywood is newly enamoured. Persuasion, possibly the best of the three Austen-related films released last year, ran briefly at the Nickelodeon and Montpelier's Savoy Theatre. Clueless, which was loosely based on the novel Emma, had a far longer stay. The Golden Globe-winning Sense and Sense and

o David Dorfman, life is a performance. "If we perform every moment that we can," the choreographer says, "we get the most out of life and we're most excited." Acting with conviction in even your most mundane private moments can give you that charge. So can getting up on the Flynn Theatre stage to dance with a member of your family. Thirty-two people eager to do just that turned out for auditions in November, with close relations at their sides. The 21-member troupe Dorfman assembled will dance with his New York-based company in the world premiere of "Familiar Movements" at the Flynn this Saturday night. The 10 family pairs — and one single woman — include couples, parents, children, teens and a pair of "spiritual sisters." They come from the richest and poorest neighborhoods; they include whites, African Americans and Jews; a woman with breast cancer and people in the prime of their lives. And while Dorfman knows that the group has developed a familylike closeness over three intense weeks of rehearsal, he says, "What I hope to do, and I think I am doing, is creating more realistic and tighter bonds between the family members." Th is is the second time
Dorfman has invited ordinary Vermonters to perform for a world premiere. In January 1993, he had 25 local athletes — triathletes, basketball players, skiers, weightlifters and others — leaping and rolling about on stage and telling stories about their lives. The process that produced the 22-minute piece, "Out of Season," launched Dorfman and his company into three years of steady community-based work, recruiting athletes and ere ating the dance anew in nine more cities, including Paris. After that debut, the Flynn wanted Dorfman back. Consulting with the choreographer, Artistic Director Philip Bither applied to the Lila Wallace-
says Bither. "How does one even begin to make up a dance? David has a special gift — anyone who comes in contact with him or his company gets intrigued by the form." Dorfman's inspi-
movements together might begin to break down the preexisting roles inhibiting their intimacy and allow them to explore new ones. "When it's no longer cool to do things with your parents, there's a

rations for the family project were as multi-faceted as the theme itself. During the development of "Out of Season" in Burlington, two participants, a mother and her teenaged daughter, argued about who was going to lift whom. The drama of the mother's refusal to be cast in the familiar role of supporter struck Dorfman as compelling material for dance. Bither and Dorfman thought that helping family members create and learn dance

"Parents feel, 'I want to do something with my child that we're going to walk away from with a new meaning, where we're going to relate to each other in a different way.'" Some grown children have the same impulse. Tom Young brought his mother, a community college administrator from Wolcott, to the audition. "I come from a family where

For the week of January 25 - 31
BY ROB BREZSNY ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): It'll be a good week to tattle on big bullies who're feigning innocence, or to fight arrogant bozos who think its cool to scapegoat underdogs, or to outwit manipulative powermongers who've gotten away with their bullshit for for too long. On the other hand, it won't be such a good week to scream at a bumbling clerk, or to blame your mommy for your messes, or to punch yourself out for some miniscule mistake. Catch my drift? Aim your anger at a righteous cause, or don't aim it at all. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): As I meditate on your immediate future, I'm reminded of John Ashberry's comment on the poetry of Kenneth Koch. "As you listen to him," Ashberry mused, "you will begin to realize that you are escaping to what you should never have been allowed to escape from." This is exactly the kind of experience I wish for you in the weeks ahead. As you follow a whimsy that seems at first to be talcing you far afield, I hope you find you're headed towards a place that feels like home. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): A Gemini reader from New Haven recently called the Real Astrology hotline to bitch. "I appreciate the fact that you're trying to teach us all how to become little Buddhas," Robert Mannheim began, "and that you're not just programming us to become bigger badder narcissists, like most other astrology columnists. But please, Dr. Brezsny, can't you clue us in on some shortcuts? I don't want to have to work so damn hard to become a genius of love." I'm pleased to inform you, Robert — as well as all my other Gemini readers — that your wish is about to be granted. During the next few weeks there'll be almost no contradiction between your drive to become more holy, wise and compassionate, and your lust for more fun, pleasure and adventure.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Many years ago, on a bleak January morning, I unexpectedly found my fortune. While waiting in the food stamp office for my monthly allotment, I picked up the local weekly rag and turned to the help-wanted section. "Horoscope columnist needed, $15 a week," it said. My first reaction was feb. As a proud practitioner of the ancient art of astrology, I'd always despised horoscope columns for the way they pandered to the most superstitious instincts in people. On second thought, I mused, why don't I make a stab at revolutionizing the genre? So I dashed off my first masterpiece and submitted it. The rest is herstory. Why am I telling you this tale, fellow Cancerian? Because I believe the next three weeks could be the time you unexpectedly find your fortune. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Do you have a twin your parents never told you about? If so, you'll find out about it this week. Is there a secret about your sex life or romantic history that you'd hate to have revealed? If so, zillions of people will soon hear about it on a talk show or at a gossip fest. Is there a person you've had an unrequited or covert crush on for years? If so, this is prime time to make your move. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Dumpster Dave prays to die dumpster gods to find the half-rotted food and other discarded materials he needs to stay alive. Predawn Paul prays to the outlaw gods as he prowls the suburban streets before the sun comes up, hoping to beat the garbage collectors to the rich pickings of old bottles, cans and newspapers. And Astrologer Rob beseeches the planetary gods to help Virgos to compost love's little failures into fertilizer, preparing romance fof a" greenhouse growth cycle in March. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Researchers say the average woman falls in love 4.6 times in her life; the average man 5.3 times. I think you're about to rack up one of those .6 or .3 times. It'll be sort of like love, but then again not exactly. It may turn out to be a situation where the two of you sleep together but don't boink, or else boink all the time but never have anything to say to each other. And that's the best-case scenario. In a less-than-best case, you might be seriously tempted to try a fling with a married tease or total wacko. I say proceed with caution and humor. Consider having the equivalent of a pre-nuptial agreement every step of the way, from before the initial exchange of phone numbers to before the first kiss. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I would love to see the breakthroughs you'd experience if you spent this week fasting, keeping perfect silence and meditating for 10 hours at a stretch. Realistically, though, very few of you have the luxury of working that hard on behalf of your immortal soul. So I'll suggest the next best thing: Cut down on the doughnuts, try to minimize small talk and pray for a half hour at a stretch as often as possible. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): With the Sun, Mars and Uranus crowding into your House of Discernment, the featured organ of the week has to be your nose. I realize this might sound ridiculous, but I'm quite serious: You're most likely to make discriminating choices if you let your sniffer be your guide. If it smells good, follow it. If it stinks, or even if it's got a slightly weird tang, turn away. That old saw, "follow your nose," has never been more useful. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): When I was slaving away as a ditchdigger in Durham, North Carolina, many years ago, I never imagined I'd one day be working for myself at a dream job. When I was busting my butt at the^ post office in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, way back when, I'd have scoffed if you'd predicted that once upon a time I'd be gazing out of my home office towards the gorgeous hills of Marin County, getting paid to combine my loves of astrology and poetry. When I was harvesting syrup from maple trees in Plainfield, Vermont, or driving an ice cream truck in North Philly, or scrubbing dishes in Santa Cruz, California, I couldn't conceive that one day I'd be telling you Capricorns this: If a lazy latebloomer like me could create such a fabulous work situation, there's no rea son a willful powerhouse like you can't. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I believe you'll have more beginners luck this week than you've had in decades — possibly even since your last incarnation. And that ain't all. You can also expect to have, in ridiculous abundance, both furious curiosity and ferocious precociousness. On top of that, you'll be overflowing with insatiable spontaneity, incisive innocence and a tactless talent for speaking the truth that hurts so good. In short, Aquarius, you will be the very embodiment of mirthful unpredictability — a veritable whirling dervish of mischievous wisdom. If I had to choose a mascot for you, it would be a Buddhist elf. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): In his Zen in English Literature, R. H. Blyth sums up your current situation well when he asks: "You are going to swat a fly; it comes and sits on the flyswatter itself; what will you do?" Here's what I would do if I were you, Pisces. I'd go eat a warm chocolate cake and read a trashy novel. Or I'd call a secret crush's answering machine, disguise my voice and whisper, "I love you more than I love caffeine." In other words, Pisces, I'd do anything but worry about swatting that fly.

FILM QUIZ
FROM DUSK TILL DAWN * * * * I'll be honest: I would ve bet on Mike and LisaMarie bouncing grandchildren on their knees one of these years before I would have given Quentin Tarantinos preposterous, rejected five-year-old script about Mexican vampires a chance for success, but From Dusk Till Dawn is a foil-throttle, hospital-strength bizarro blast. Tarantino and George Clooney play brothers on the lam from the law. They're both thieves; Quentins also the surrealest sex offender you're ever likely to see. En route to Mexico they kidnap BLOOD B R O T H E R S Clooney and Tarantino make a Harvey Keitel and his two kids and commandeer vampire movie that doesn't bite. the family's RV. Director Robert {Desperado) Rodriguez could've made an entire movie out of the run they make tor the border and the dynamic that develops between the hoods and their hostages. I would not have complained. But the fun has barely begun. Once safely on the other side, Clooney decides that one and all are going to celebrate with tequila and strippers at a club cdled the Titty Twister. Tarantino must have been on some pretty serious medication the day he dreamt this rathole up. Wall to wall with bikers, topless dancers and bouncers from beyond the grave, this httlelounge makes that mtergalactic watering hole in Wars look like Sunday at a small town Beano hall I he final third of the film consists of nothing less than the weirdest bar fight in movie history. Tarantino plays with genres the way a genetic biologist screws around with C o d s building blocks and, in the process is just as likely to bnng something new and mutant to life - in this case a gleefully twisted fusion of buddy picture, road movie, crime drama and cheesy grade-B splatter film. He may get on your nerves every now and then as an actor, and Lord knows he frequently gives the impres s.on of having left his towering genius behind in his hotel room when he appears on late-night talk shows Scriptwriting, however, is something few people can do with the ingenuity and bravado of the Q-man He u u , ° f n a r r a r StrUCtUre r° exhiiarating effect even in a tossed-off monolith of nonsense like this, his dialogue is usually 14-carat. Its a measure of just how powerful Tarantinos magic is that for die 120 minutes .r took Dusk to turn to Dawn, I found even the overexposed Clooney unsurpassably good company

Likewise in tobacco-growing Kentucky, where the governor convened a task force to study the feasibility of industrial hemp production, "it was almost as emotional as abortion," says Sara McNulty. McNulty did the research for the report that ultimately put an end to the investigation of industrial hemp as an agricultural commodity. "The drug thing was very important here," she explains, noting Kentucky's marijuana laws are more severe than the federal ones. In her concluding

remarks, she wrote, "Legal prohibition of cannabis cultivation is the overriding obstacle to reintroduction of fiber hemp production in Kentucky. Significant progress on agronomics, marketing, or infrastructure development is unlikely... unless legal issues are resolved. Legislative action would be required at both the state and federal level. Such consideration would likely receive strong diverse reactions from both private and public sectors." In many ways, Vermont is ideally positioned to consider industrial hemp legislation — the issue is as practical as it is progressive, which makes it as appealing to independentthinking conservatives as it is to Phish fans. Maslack is the ideal spokesperson for the hemp bill — a 37-year-old quarry worker who talks about "leveling the playing field" and refers to countries like Hungary and Romania as "former Iron Curtain countries." He sees the hemp issue not so much as an environmental issue, as one of states' rights and economic self-sufficiency. And he understands, as most hemp activists now do, that regular farmers are the best hope for hemp. "It made my life a whole lot easier," he says of the resolution passed in Continued

hat may bring us a little closer to amber waves of hemp. But even in Vermont, those fields could very well be fenced and posted with armed guards. Regardless of how the Legislature rules, federal drug laws will still prevail over any test plots of industrial cannabis. Uncle Sam still considers fiber hemp a controlled substance in the same class as heroine or crack cocaine
