ODD, STRANGE, CURIOUS AND WEIRD BUT TRUE NEWS ITEMS FROM EVERY CORNER OF THE GLOBE Under

Down

Under

A New Zealand town council announced last summer that it was charging more to bury large people. Explaining that the cost of over-sized graves at Poriruas Whenua Tapu cemetery would rise 30 percent, John Seddon, the councils chief executive, dismissed complaints from Pacific Islanders that the surcharge is. unfair because they tend to grow bigger than other people. • Last year the Australian government also declared it wants to bury famous Australians in a national cemetery, then use the cemetery as a tourist attraction. Canberra Tourism Minister Tony De Domenico commented, "I make no bones about the fact that that's going to be one of the results of such a memorial park."

Food tor

Thought

The Food and Drug Administration approved olestra for potato chips, crackers and other snack foods, but required Procter & Gamble to warn users that the fat substitute may cause abdominal cramping and loose stools. • Canada's health ministry informed Eskimos that dangerous pesticides carried to the Arctic from the Third World by wind and ocean currents have contaminated seal and whale blubber, making it unsafe to eat. But the ministry told the natives that they should continue eating it because,

car plowed into a sheriffs office DUI patrol van containing two other drunken-driving suspects.

even contaminated, the blubber is considered at least as healthy as the standard North American diet of processed and junk food.

Driving

British police charged a 65year-old man with driving under the influence after he drove 50 mph the wrong way along a highway for 10 miles. He also had a wheel miss-

*0V from his car. He stopped only when police put a bed of spikes across the highway west of London to puncture his remaining tires, and his car ran into the back of a police car. • Maryland police reported that after James D. Padgette Jr., 35, turned into a parking lot to make a U-turn, his door came open and he fell out, then was run over by his car. He wasn't seriously hurt but reportedly tried to drive away in a car that looked like his but wasn't. The owner called police, who charged Padgette with driving while intoxicated. • El Paso County, Colorado, sheriffs deputies arrested Edward Neidrick, 34, on suspicion of driving under the influence after his

Pythons

The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals requested that the Malaysian news media carry "positive reports" about pythons. The group complained that after news of a 23-foot python killing and trying to swallow a 29-year-old rubber plantation worker in Johor state last September, Malaysians began indiscriminately killing any snakes they encoun^ tered. • In October, monsoon floods in Thailand drove pythons from their holes into city streets. During a three-week period, authorities captured almost 100 pythons around Bangkok, according to the director of the Dusit Zoo, Alongkorn Mahannop, who warned, "The big ones can eat people."

Prime

Timers

After a concerted effort, CBS has succeeded in reaching a younger audience. The BJK&E Media Group reported the median age of the networks viewers dropped from 50 in 1994 to 49 in the last quarter of 1995. Its survey revealed, however, that the shift occurred not because the network is attracting new younger viewers but because it's losing

some of its current older ones. "This," CBS executive vice president David Poltrack commented, "is not what we were hoping for."

People Who Need People To beat a restriction that taxis without passengers cannot enter Bangkok's Don Muang airport, cabbies hire people to pose as departing travelers. The Bangkok Post reported that some phony fares, mostly "jobless teenagers and a few middle-aged men," earn $12 to $16 a day for taking as many as 30 trips.

Tests

Japan's Association of Alcoholic Beverage Retailers approved a measure requiring that the nation's 200,000 vending machines selling alcoholic beverages be replaced by models that require buyers to display identification cards to prove they are of legal age.

Ray

A jamming device to deter mobile telephone users in the Italian parliament was turned off last summer after several lawmakers said they feared for their virility. The device, which uses microwaves to jam the phones, was installed earlier in the year when lower house floor leader Irene Pivetti complained of debates being interrupted by calls. "The rays could influence membranes in the brain and male virility," worried MP Pier Corrado Salino, 63. "I want to make the most of what I ' v e still got." •

When convicted murderer John Albert Taylor demanded to be executed by firing squad rather than lethal injection, explaining, "I don't want to go flipping around like a fish out of water on that table," the switchboard at the Utah corrections department was jammed with calls from people hoping to join the first U.S. firing squad in 19 years.

Excess

After 800-pound Tommy McGruder, 35, nearly died of congestive heart failure and obesity, a diet center in Orange, California, donated its service. In five months on a special diet, McGruder lost 400 pounds, but the loss was so rapid that his skin became loose and cumbersome. In December, surgeons trimmed the excess skin to give him more mobility. The skin, weighing 75 pounds, was donated for transplants and research.

C U T T I N G EDGE In yet another Seven Days triumph of style over substance, Paula Routly manages to heap scorn on the movie Diamond Run without having seen it ("Backtalk," February 14), and thereby confirms what is so lacking in coverage of the arts in Vermont. While David Giancola is bringing Vermont movies to a national and international audience (and, not incidentally, money into the economy), Seven Days prefers to keep its critical distance by having ignored invitations to see it being filmed last August, and by sneering at the fact that it might be (gasp!) commercially viable. Filmmakers such as David Giancola, Jay Craven and John O'Brien involve hundreds of Vermonters in their projects, and are committed to making movies that have a wide appeal, but it serves neither the filmmakers nor their Vermont audience when the media devoted to covering their work either ignores it, or even worse, pre-judges it on insufficient information. I hope that the readers of Seven Days will ignore Ms. Routly's glibness, and go and judge Diamond Run for themselves when it opens in Burlington in the spring. I think that they, and even Ms. Routly, should she swallow her pride, will be pleasantly surprised. — Jeff Haig Burlington Jeff Haig is co-producer <?/Diamond Run

(Ed. note: Paula Routly watched the rough cut of Diamond Run, in the company of director David Giancola, before writing about it.) TRAGEDY N O T FUNNY Regarding your "News Quirks": I have previously enjoyed this page, and I think that you intend it to be amusing. But your February 14 edition had two news items about suicide, and one gruesome attempted child fratricide. Headlines made light of these incidents: "All in the Family," "Oops!" and "Shooting Her Mouth Off." This last incident was particularly tragic, involving a young woman's suicide by dynamite. "I can't imagine why your writer thought these items were funny, unless it was just an irresistible opportunity to write some clever headlines. Perhaps it is a reflection of our times that little feeling is shown about violence and personal tragedy. We must fight against this emotional numbness, and make an extra effort to respond to each other with caring. In our own community we have had many suicides, some of them among our children. We cannot afford to ignore the deep despair and loneliness which these people in our midst must feel; we risk losing them,

while becoming a culture in which there is only support for each life, in our media as well as in our interactions with each other. — Amy Handy Burlington TEACH YOUR CHILDREN WELL This Town Meeting Day, Burlington voters will have a rare chance to clearly tell a government body its priorities are wrong. The Burlington School Board wants to raise property taxes $348,000 each year for 10 years, mostly to buy computers, at the same time it plans to reduce the number of teachers. By rejecting the tech tax, voters can tell the Board, 'computers dont teach children; teachers do." Computer literacy is important, but so are many other things: art, music, drama, "the three R's," and more. Teachers can teach all of them, computer knowledge included. A good teacher, whose attention is not divided among too many kids, gives inspiration, guidance, values and knowledge. All the hardware in the world can't replace this human interaction. If we give our kids good teachers, we have given them the firmest possible foundation for later life, whatever it may bring. Would you teach carpentry by working closely with a carpenter, or by throwing open a toolbox and firing the carpenter? Filling our schools with quickly obsolescent things will not give our children a good education, if the teachers are too distracted by large classes and multiple duties to guide and inspire them. The computer industry would be happy to use our schools to generate profits and consumers. That's not what I send my kids to school for. I want them taught to think critically on the basis of a good understanding of the world, to have what a teacher can give them, so that they're never fooled by slick, high-tech sales pitches. This is the lesson the Burlington School Board missed in school. — Seth A. Steinzor Burlington I LIKE MIKE As City Councilor representing Ward 5, Michael Monte has been a force for building consensus and reducing partisan bickering on the Council. He has worked with the State legislators to try to get a better design for the Southern Connector, and he has brought experience and leadership to the planning for our waterfront. I will be voting for the re-election of Michael Monte as a powerful voice for Ward 5 and a much-needed moderating influence on the City Council. — Jim Rader Burlington

Dear Cecil, I've got a question I hope you can answer quickly. Why is it that we associate the heart (the organ) with love, affection, relationships? I'm a writer at an ad agency and I'm working on a Valentine's Day card project. - Paul Schmelzer, via the Internet Damn, late again. Did you have a plan B or are you now on the suppository account? Folks around the world have regarded the heart as the seat of the soul and the center of the emotions since ancient times. Even the most primitive peoples surely noticed that the heart pounded during times of stress, whether from chasing game or pining for a beloved, and they also saw that if you took a spear through it you died. It was only natural to conclude that the heart was the home base of courage, love, the life essence and other good stuff. The Bible says, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul," and similar thoughts can be found in the sacred writings of many religions. By the 16th century B.C. the Egyptians had noticed that the heart was at the center of a network of blood vessels (actually they thought the little tubes were blood-spit-semen-and:Urine vessels, apparently never having investigated too closely), and no doubt this reinforced the source-of-life-and-being concept. Exactly what the heart did in connection with blood circulation remained unclear until the publication of William Harvey's work in 1628, but people have always known it was important. The real mystery is why the heart got all the glory and not the brain. Today most of us have the sense that our inner being lives behind our eyeballs, and while this is partly because we have the benefit of medical knowledge, given the concentration of sense organs in your head it's hard to understand how anybody could imagine that consciousness resided somewhere else. But some did. The ancient Egyptians thought the center of the intellect, memory, wisdom and so on was the heart. They attached no special importance to the brain and thought of it mainly as the source of mucus. (Maybe they spent a lot of time vacationing in the Ozarks.) Likewise some Taoist writings seem to equate heart and mind. Luckily the Greeks got things straightened out. The philosopher and physiologist Alcmaeon, a student of Pythagoras who lived around 500 B.C., declared that the brain was the center of the intellect, and mainstream Western thinkers generally followed his lead. Hot that anybody forgot about the heart. Instead, the familiar head-heart dichotomy developed, with the former being the intellectual HQ and the latter the home of the emotions and physical virtues such as bravery and endurance. The idea of the heart as the center of one's being retained its punch surprisingly late in the day. I'm reminded of Catholic veneration of the Sacred Heart of Jesus - and I don't mean metaphorical heart. I mean one with Sacred Atriums and Sacred Ventricles, and I could swear as a kid in parochial school I saw one with a Sacred Aorta. The deluxe model came wrapped in a crown of thorns with drops of blood. Mrs. Adams wonders why I like horror movies. Babe, says I, the nuns started me young.

IT;Da' Fix Was In Plop, plop. Fizz, fizz. O h , what a relief it is! Last Friday, the Vermont Supreme Court released the decision that gets Judge Alden Bryan out from under the heel of a May 1995 Judicial Conduct Board (JCB) ruling that he had made "deceptive and misleading" statements in open court to a reporter (yours truly) in December 1993. At issue was a hearing Bryan moved out of the courtroom and into his office, out of sight of the nosy press. Deception's a no-no for a judge — higher standards and all. T h e JCB called for a "public reprimand," but the stakes were much higher here, folks. Alden Bryan's career was on the line. T h e JCB noted in its findings, "T he Board is concerned that this is the second time that Judge Bryan has been disciplined for not being truthful in a highly public matter." T h e first time occurred when he got caught lying to the jury about television coverage in the Todd Streich rape trial. A second black mark on his record could have meant curtains for Bryan. It would have been tough for the Supremes to merely apply another slap on the wrist. There are only two punishments more severe for Vermont black-robes who get nailed for violating the Canons of Judicial Conduct: suspension and early retirement. So Scaldin' Alden's colleagues on the bench rallied to his cause, both on and off the judicial playing field. Judge Matthew Katz filed an amicus brief with the high court on behalf of the Chittenden County Trial Judges. Judge Jim Crucitti did likewise under the flag of the Vermont Trial Judges Association. But it was the guy I met at the ballpark last summer who opened my eyes as to just how tight a spot Scaldin Alden was in. It was Saturday night, September 9, the final day of the playoffs. T h e Vermont Expos were facing the Watertown Indians. T h e Expos won the first game and forced a second one to determine the champion. It was a rainy, cold night, but they had to get the games in. I was sitting high up under the roof on the thirdbase side. My friends had gone to the john. I was alone when a big hulk of a guy with a baseball cap on his head and a beer in his hand plopped down beside me. It felt like he was sitting on me. He turned, leaned closer, looked me in the eye and said, "You don't want to ruin careers, do you, Peter?" W h a t the hell was this guy talking about? He looked familiar, but I couldn't place him right off. Hey, just another interesting encounter with a regular reader. Being a reporter means having to take some guff in public now and then — it goes with the territory. He repeated himself: "You don't want to ruin careers, Peter. It's not your style, is it?" I asked what the hell was he talking about. "Alden," he replied. H e mentioned that they went back a long way together, that they used to be law partners. Holy mackerel! I realized my new bosom buddy was a baseball fan and a black robe. "I don't want to ruin careers," I told him, and I asked him point-blank what he wanted from me. "Withdraw the complaint," he answered. "It's too late," I replied. " T h e Conduct Board has already ruled on it."

"You can still withdraw it," he insisted. "You don't want to ruin a career, do you?" End of conversation. Judge David Jenkins lifted himself up, walked down the steps and disappeared into the night. O u r chance encounter only confirmed what I'd been hearing from members of the bar — Alden Bryan's butt was on the line. As it turned out, I didn't have to withdraw my complaint. A specially-appointed panel of judges took care of it for me. Joining Associate Justice Denise Johnson on the panel were three of the good ol' boys: former Chief Justice Albert Barney, former Associate Justice Louis Peck and former Superior Court Judge Hilton Dier. Reading their decision to dismiss the complaint, one can't help but feel they had the conclusion ( W H A T EXACTLY WAS T H E D E C I S I O N CALLED?) in hand before they cooked up the intellectual jujitsu to justify it. Essentially this was a case of a judge keeping the public out of a hearing. Bryan achieved that goal by calling a recess and having the attorneys brought into chambers via the backstairs. When I sent in a handwritten note requesting admission, Alden put on the brakes. "Well, Peter Freyne wants to be in here so bad he can't stand it," said Bryan, according to the transcript. "I won't carry this conversation any further, because I don't want to fool with him. And I don't — this isn't the kind of thing we should be talking about in public," he told defense Attorney Jim Murdoch and two deputy states attorneys: Cindy Maguire and Margaret O'Rourke. When Bryan returned to the courtroom, yours truly called him on the fancy footwork. "May I ask the court? I believe that the court officer, Miss White, gave you a note of my request to sit in on the status conference.. .The officer was aware before the hearing of my desire to attend the status conference. I just would like to ask the Court why I was not admitted." In his reply, Bryan pretended he had no idea I wanted to attend until he received the note. "Well, the conference was just about over by the time I received your note," he said. "We only had two or three minutes of wind-up discussions..." T h e Conduct Board ruled that statement was dishonest. They suggested Bryan knew before the hearing took place that yours truly wanted to attend. They found Bryan's words, "did not live up to the standards of integrity required by the Canons of Judicial Conduct." But the Supremes helped Bryan wiggle out of this one. "We find troubling the Board's willingness in this case to recommend disciplinary sanctions based on this implication," they stated in the decision. What's really troubling is that in order to reach that conclusion they had to totally disregard Alden Bryan's sworn testimony at the Board's formal hearing. Under cross-examination by the JCB's lawyer, David Otterman, Alden admitted he knew when he looked down from the bench and saw yours truly in the second row that I was there to cover the hearing, because he knew I had covered the David McKeen trial. He knew there was no other newsworthy case on his two o'clock docket. It wasn't an "implication" the Judicial Conduct Board based its decision on. It was Alden Bryan's own testimony. The Supremes chose to ignore it.

BACK TAL LIVE MAN TALKING: Forget

about Susan Sarandon and Sean Penn. T h e real star of Dead Man Walking is producer Jon Kilik — independent movies don't get made without the guy with the Gold Card. Kilik graduated from the University of Vermont, where he got interested in movies under the tutelage of Frank Manchei. "John was someone who came into class and suddenly got turned on to film," Manchei recalls. In the real world, he worked his way up from a location scout on Susan Sarandon Stardust Memories, to co-producer of Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing, Jungle Fever, Malcolm X and Crooklyn. His latest producing project — Dead Man Walking — is up for an Academy Award. "His life seems to be totally committed to making pictures of quality," Manchei says of Kilik, who "never forgets his old teacher" when he comes through town. He is equally generous with movie-minded grads. Manchei — and Vermont — will get a visit this week, when Kilik blows in for a Sunday lecture at Ira Allen Chapel. He will host a student session on Monday in John Dewey Lounge.

T h e Disciples. T h e Commitments. Even the most devoted-sounding bands break up. But no one expected it to happen to blues goddess Tammy Fletcher just one month after her big gig at the Apollo Theater in Harlem. "I was a little stunned at first, but I am going to keep singing — with new musicians," Fletcher says. Forsaking their common musical mission, T h e Disciples have decided to go their separate ways: Bass player Stacey Starkweather is devoted to the Jazz Mandolin Project. Keyboard player Andy Shapiro will pursue his Jewish gospel thing. Bob Hill "was torn in a million different directions," Fletcher says of her former guitar player. "What it is going to take now is a lot of road trips. I don't know if the band was ready for that." Fletcher is currently auditioning musicians who are, noting a record deal is in the works. "I'm still the big gal, the big voice," she assures. "I'm not going anywhere." Yet.

Ever wonder if the prez pays for earphones? And where he tunes in when he folds up his tray table? To a guy named Mike Smiarowski, who's currently getting airtime on Air Force One. Charlotte sound engineer C h u c k Eller recorded the 10-song album last summer for Smear Records —a label name that should give the President pause. "It's an incredible marketing coup," Eller concedes, noting his old band Kilimanjaro also flew the friendly skies. Smiarowski has the "jazz impressions" channel covered, while the others offer "country connection," "softly contemporary" and "flashbacks," featuring Springsteen, Van Morrison and T h e Clash. Nice to know the chief executive can "Rock the Casbah" should he feel the urge.

WRITE ON: T h e 20 best American writers under 40 years of age? The short list will be published by the literary journal Granta this spring.

Thirty-five books later, "we did agree — almost to the author — the titles that we wanted to select," Mosher says. He was particularly impressed with Elizabeth McCracken and Stuart O ' N a n . None of the winners hails from Vermont "Patrick Buchanan is not the only one bringing a message of economic populism to working-class New Englanders," The New York Times & reported last Monday. Novelist Carolyn Chute —- who authored the gritty Beans of Egypt, Maine — is the de facto leader of a grassroots militia group that is taking aim at corporate greed. Literally. Chute has been hosting monthly meetings that urge fellow Mainiacs to take matters into r their own hands. T h e open invitation also suggests that folks come armed to take a "few plugs at our empty dog food can collection." Novel idea. •

VERMONT [MOZART FESTIVAL!

START YOUR ENGINES Wake

up and smell the mosh pit, boys and girls — it's time to ride with Rocketsled. Burlington's answer to Beelzebub headlines an eclectic line-up of noisedudes — including Outer Mongolia, Drain and Toe Tag — at 242 this Friday. Bring your own seat belt.

STRINGS A T T A C H E D Gideon Freudmann quips that he's a classically trained cellist but he tries not to let it get in the way. For the most part he succeeds. If Pablo Casals could hear Freudmann — a.k.a. CelloBop — he'd surely ask to join the band. Recording on Vermont's Gadfly Records, his latest C D is called Cellobotomy, and though it's all instrumental, the song titles alone suggest where Freudmann is coming from: "Nirvana Toast," "Opium Den," "Squids in the Wind," "Rush Hour." Freudmann's as musically gifted as he is witty. His pieces are jazzy, bluesy, folksy, wild, surreal electro-acoustic romps. You really have to be there to understand. There is the Pyralisk in Montpelier Friday night; Vermont Coffeehouse at Vermont Pasta Saturday.

well-wishers, "are you going to get a ring?" W h o needs a ring? My mother never wore one. And hard, shiny rocks leave me cold. Besides, I thought, how could I do Nautilus with a gleaming gem on my hand? Which is what I asked my future mother-in-law as we drove to an appointment with her jeweler in Denver, Colorado. "Amber," she replied, "Think of your engagement ring as a token of the love you'll share forever." Funny — I hadn't thought of it like that. Suddenly, a ring seemed beautiful, symbolic and romantic.

T h e dress code will be simple: wear whatever you want. And when the piper begins, I'll walk down the aisle with John at my side. That's because I don't like the idea of being "given away" from my father to my husband. It's also because the Justice of the Peace conducting this unusual ceremony is my father. But while tradition may not be the word of the wedding day, there are moments when I realize that I'm probably just like every other bride-to-be. My previous inability to say the "m" word — marriage — without laughing hysterically has been replaced by a newfound delight in reciting the "f" word: fiancee. I eagerly discuss with

In place of a rich, sit-down meal, we're opting for a buffet feast of fresh salads, spicy spreads and finger food. Instead of registering at a generic kitchen store, we'll invite guests to "sign up" with our travel agent for the "Extended Honeymoon" fund.

other future brides such mindless details as hotel reservations, rehearsal dinners and catering. Formerly unmoved by television weddings, I recently wept openly when Charlie and Kristin broke off their wedding in "Party of Five" just moments before they were to walk down the aisle. More than anything else, I realize that my decision to get married is in line with an ageold tradition. Not the patriarchal "I now pronounce you Man and Wife" one. I'm talking about my emotions — the same emotions felt by centuries of brides before me. Tradition may be challenged on our wedding day, but the essence of those words — Yes I say yes I will yes— will guide us as it has countless other husbands and wives. Do I feel ready for such a commitment? 1 do. •

t sounds more like a college course than a funky performance space on the cutting edge. But at P.S. 122 — once a functioning New York City public school — the principals are experimental. The little grey schoolhouse that spawned Eric Bogosian, Meredith Monk and Blue Man Group is one of a handful of downtown black-box theaters dedicated to the development of emerging artists. The ones who make it — like the feminist comic "Reno" — often return the favor by joining an alumni "field trip" tour. The next best thing to a night in the East Village, this urban variety show is "too much good work for one stage, in one night," Reno reports.

It's the box-of-chocolates approach to the performing arts — a fast-paced "sampler of the scene," according to Philip Bither, artistic director of the Flynn Theatre. And in this case, every one is a Godiva. Says Bither, "The field trips of the past used to feature lesserknown artists. This one is more like greatest hits." Perhaps the biggest name among this fab foursome is world-renowned dancer and choreographer Molissa Fenley, a

DOWNTOWN ON MAIN STREET!

seven-time National Endowment fellow who grew up in Las Vegas, Nigeria and Spain. Fenley exhibits an eclectic aerobic approach to movement that sets her apart in the world of modern dance. When a recent knee injury put her out of commission, she made a solo piece for her upper body. Regions is likely to show off her sense of sculpture, and those "flattened, hingelike arms" The New York Times likes to rave about. Expect more flailing from Danny Hoch, a polyglot performance artist whose speciality is American ethnicity. An astute observer of human behavior in the tradition of Eric Bogosian, Hoch is also a talented linguist — he pulls off one piece entirely in Spanish. Whether a Polish plumber or fasttalking Latina, he shows how language can be a bridge or a barrier. Hoch will offer excerpts from Some

EVENING UNIVERSITY

The Place to Earn Your Degree Iat Night

People, which he performed last year onstage at the Flynn, and from his new work, Evolution of a Homeboy. Homegirl Tyne Giraud also has a Vermont connection. The African-

American composer is a frequent collaborator with Urban Bush Women, and she wrote the score for Conjure Women, the documentary film that played last week in Montpelier. Giraud combines indigenous instruments, from-thegut vocals and cuttingedge drama to create music of the black dias-

pora. Excerpts from her latest music-theater piece, Sugar Tit, will be featured at the Flynn. "The African savannah merges with spirits from the Brazilian rainforest," the City Sun wrote of her songs celebrating "freedom from cultural isolation and oppression." Cultural oppression? Galstyle comic Reno knows them

well. "I don't have the same politics as the world," she offers from a hotel room in Chicago. "Speaking of which, how is Bernie?" Reno makes a living from her stream-of-consciousness. Her schtick is less Lily Tomlin than Lenny Bruce. "I come out and deal with whatever is on my mind," she explains. "And of course I find a way to bring up female genital mutilation every few minutes."

Suddenly, it's easy to imagine "Reno in Rage and Rehab" — her first H B O special filmed at P.S. 122. The second one fell through because she had a fight with her agent. The "streetwise Bette Midler" also blew her big chance with David Letterman. She got cancelled on "Late Night" for refusing to tell a preshow interviewer what she planned to spring on the host. "It's the story of my life," Reno says of the missed opportunity. Don't miss yours. • P . S . 122 F i e l d T r i p s , featuring Danny Hoch, Molissa Fenley, Tyne Giraud and Reno.

ew Hampshire has spoken. Pat Buchanan won with 29 percent of the vote in the Granite State's Republican primary. If historic trends persist, Buchanan will capture the Vermont primary with 39 percent of the Republican vote. Not. Vermont has had an unusual history with presidential primaries. Along with a number of states, Vermont joined the Progressive Era drive to return politics to the people. Vermonters chose to remove the presidential selection process from "politics as usual ": the smoke-filled rooms where party bosses and "kingmakers" cobbled together national tickets wholly unmindful of the wishes of the citizenry. So in the election years of 1916 and 1920, Vermont held presidential preference primaries. Few people bothered to vote, and Vermont's initial experiment with primaries ended. From 1924 through 1972, Vermont held no presidential primaries. But in the election season of 1972, New Hampshire's "firstin-the-nation" primary struck again. It had already derailed the presidential candidacies of incumbent Democratic presidents Harry Truman in 1952 and Lyndon Johnson in 1968. In 1972, New Hampshire's Democratic primary voters seriously wounded the candidacy of U.S. Senator Edmund Muskie of Maine — the 1968 Democratic vice presidential candidate, the party's "front runner," and a neighbor to boot. Muskie had been suckered into reacting to a "dirty trick" planted by Nixon operatives, which contended that Muskie called French Canadians — the state's leading Democratic-voting minority — "Canucks," and that his wife Jane was a foulmouthed, heavy-drinking woman. These charges were repeated in The Manchester

AND THE WINNER IS...

Union Leader,. sometimes known as the "Onion Loader," and they totally discombobulated Senator Muskie. Acting on his own, and oblivious to the advice of others, Muskie rented a flatbed truck and shook his fist — with tears in his eyes — at the Union Leader building. Although Muskie won a plurality of the votes in the primary, his candidacy was mortally wounded by this unmanly "weakness." The undermining of the Muskie candidacy set the "New England Primary" into motion. New Hampshire state law requires that it have the first-inthe-nation primary regardless of when other states vote, but moderate and liberals of both parties hoped that with the other five New England states voting on a common primary day that New Hampshire's — and the Union Leader's — enormous impact could be muffled.

PAT BUCHANAN?

everal factors make it decreasingly weird to view Patrick Buchanan as the possible winner of Vermont's March 5 Republican presidential primary. "As it stands today, Buchanan will take Vermont," flatly predicts Tim Philbin, the Rutland-based talk-radio jock. Philbin may be viewing the scene from a somewhat distorted perspective, given that his audience lists heavily to the starboard side of the political spectrum. But his assessment of Buchanan's potential strength in the Green Mountains is shared by some moderately conservative analysts. "Some of Bernie Sanders' voters will support Buchanan," says Brian Cosgrove, director of the state's Republican Party. Philbin sees the same odd coupling occurring, due to the socialist's and the ultra-conservative's mutual animosity toward transnational corporations and free-trade agreements. In the mid-1980s, after all, more than a few working-class Burlingronians cast votes for both Sanders and Ronald Reagan because of both candidates' populist appeals. A significant portion of Ross Perot's 1992 Vermont vpte could go to Buchanan as well, Philbin suggests. "We might see the emergence of a proBuchanan, cross-party coalition made up of Vermonters with the attitude of I'm mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore." If such a political storm is in fact brewing, State Representative Don Brunelle might be its bellwether. Apparently the lone Buchanan backer in the General Assembly, Brunelle represents working-class Winooski, traditionally a Democratic bastion. He thinks Buchanan will find favor among "low-income and even middle-class people who fear for their jobs on a day-today basis." A Machiavellian element might also make it into the mix. Since Independents and Democrats can take part in the G O P

primary simply by declaring themselves Republicans for a day, it's conceivable that some liberals and Progressives will vote for Buchanan solely in order to deepen the dilemma vexing conservatives. Then there's the fact that primary elections, including Vermont's, often serve as an outlet for protests. Jesse Jackson's strong showing in the state's 1988 Democratic contest might be seen as a harbinger of a Buchanan upwelling this year. "Remember," says Peter

vision. Alexander's chances look good to John McLaughry, a leader of the Vermont party's libertarian wing and a Steve Forbes backer. "Right now," he says, "I think Alexander will take Vermont." Forbes himself may yet prove attractive to some state Republicans. "It would be foolish of me to say he'll win," acknowledges Forbes organizer Dennis Myrick of St. Johnsbury, "but I do think he'll get support from the civil liberties-type conservatives in the state." Forbes could score among Vermonters of the "leave me alone, get out of my life" mindset, Myrick says. Kelly Not to be dismissed - not yet, anyway — is Richard Lugar, the Indiana senator who so far hasn't been more than a blip on the polling graphs. Lugar plans to throw whatever he's got into the March 5 round of New England primaries, including Vermont's. He'll be spending at least three days in the state, says Lugar organizer Pam Hudson. The retired Essex Junction schoolteacher knew Lugar in college. "He's by far the most honest and experienced candidate," she says. Hudson foresees a big Vermont vote for Lugar, noting, "It wouldn't be the first time this state has gone against all the others." If Dole, Alexander, Forbes and Lugar do compete mainly for the economic-conservative vote, that will leave Buchanan with a virtual lock on the socialissue right-wingers. Under those circumstances, a 30 percent tally by any of the contenders could be enough to win all 12 of Vermont's Republican convention delegates. "Pat starts with a base of about 20 percent wherever he goes," says Laitres, a former Brattleboro-area resident who moved to Keene, New Hampshire, a few months ago. Laitres worked for Buchanan in the New Hampshire primary and, because of his lifelong ties to Vermont, has been assigned the task of helping establish an in-state presence for the former pundit. "The Right to Life movement alone claims 20,000 members in Vermont," notes Laitres. "Second Amendment supporters are pretty strong, too, and Pat's identified as most solidly in support of gun owners' rights." But anti-abortion activists in the state have yet to unite around a single standard-bearer, says Michele Morin, head of the Vermont Right to Life political action committee.

Laitres, who's the closest thing to a Vermont organizer for Buchanan, "you don't have huge turnouts for primaries. It won't take a lot of voters to bring about a victory for Pat." Indeed, state GOP chairman William Cimonetti says he'll be satisfied if 45,000 Vermonters take part in the March 5 primary. That's only about 15 percent of thd state's registered voters. And usually it's the most ideologically committed segments of the electorate that account for most of the turnout on primary day. Also working to Buchanan's advantage are the multiple divisions among mainstream Republicans. It looks as though the moderately conservative vote may be split at least three-and-ahalf ways. Sen. Robert Dole has the endorsement of almost the entire G O P hierarchy in the state. He'll win the primary, claims Dole campaign director George McNeil, because "Vermonters don't like something completely new, untested and untried. As far as we're concerned, the race in this state is between Bob Dole and Pat Buchanan." Lamar Alexander seems to be coming on strong, however. The former Tennessee governor's bid is being abetted by Jack Lindley, an experienced GOP operative who currently serves as Vermont's delegate to the Republican national committee. "Vermonters traditionally give candidates a careful lookingover," says Lindley, "and when they do they'll realize that Lamar is the one conservative with a

ooking for a movie that is just plain fun to watch? Set in a wine-colored, seaside, post-apocalyptic world, The City of Lost Children is an oddball fantasy that works best as a treasure-chest of lush, bizarre visuals. But beware the plot, which is as fanciful and unbelievable as the scenery. At its heart, City seems to explore what it is, and what it means, to dream. Since the film races along its own, often mystifying logic, it often feels, in structure and texture, like a dream itself. Some dreams contain symbolism and meaning, while others are just streams of vivid mental garbage. The City of Lost Children mimics both kinds of dreams — with confusing but aesthetically captivating results. The story revolves around a "dream thief," a scroogish, evil old man called Krank. Krank is a walking genetic disaster, having been created in a test-tube by some long-deserted and sloppy "inventor." Krank was born without a soul and is unable to dream, and thus is aging far too rapidly. To ward off death, he sends hideous, monocled henchmen called Cyclops to kidnap children while they sleep, bring them to a grotesque laboratory on his offshore oil rig, hook them up to labyrinthine machines, and transfer dreams from their minds to his own.

rebellion against selfish, dreamobsessed Krank. Meanwhile, in a nearby seaport town, a roving band of orphans has devised ingenious ways of avoiding the Cyclops. Led by Miette, a beautiful, startlingly magnetic nine-year-old girl, the orphans join forces

Delicatessen, also a cult hit set in some richly imagined, postapocalyptic future. Delicatessen also pushed the envelope on some social mores, holding the edgy honor of being the funniest movie ever made about cannibalism. But in The City of Lost Children, the humor is more whimsical and slapstick, the kind that would appeal readily to children. In the end, The City of Lost Children is a kind of Frenchified compilation ofTerry Gilliam movies. It's got the dreamy, baroque interiors of Baron von Munchausen; the Frankenstein-lab look of Twelve Monkeys, and the rollicking, nonsensical action scenes of Time Bandits. But unlike Gilliam's work, the atmosphere — with its oil-paint sheen and dark, flourishing score by "Twin Peaks" composer Angelo Badalamenti — overwhelms the speedy, helter-skelter narrative. The directors, too, never give the characters sufficient resonance. Otherwise, all the elements are in place to render this movie a sophisticated, surreal, visually spectacular fairy tale about the freedom to dream. •

The City of Lost Children is a kind of Frenchified compilation of Terry Gilliam movies. It's got the dreamy, baroque interiors of Baron von Munchausen; the Frankenstein-lab look of Twelve Monkeys; and the rollicking, nonsensical action scenes of Time Bandits. The only glitch in this setup is that the tots are so frightened by their ordeal that they have nightmares instead of dreams. And so Krank is in a perpetual bad mood. He hollers at his family, a band of test-tube freaks themselves: His mother is a dwarf with the look of a vampire; his six brothers are clones, all played in bumbling homage to Jerry Lewis ; and another brother, Irvin, a know-it-all brain suspended in an aquarium who, when not complaining of migraines, tries to incite a clone

with a kindly, if dim-witted, circus strongman called One. One, who looks like Herman Munster but acts like a mopey Chewbacca, has recently lost his little brother, Denree, to the Cyclops. Miette agrees to help him retrieve Denree, and between the man and the childwoman there develops a distinct sexual frisson that could only happen in a French movie. For their last effort, French directors Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Marc Caro produced

^astrology For the week of February 29-March

BY ROB

BREZSNY

ARIES (Mat 21-Apr. 19): It's I a.m., smack in the middle of my work day. Empty tea have more than fortified my synaptical activity. In other words, I'm totally wired. I'm straining to channel your horoscope, but my minds racing so wildly I can't trust it to bring me the truth. (Kind of like you?) I step outside on my porch, hoping the night air will whomp some sense into me. Then, suddenly, a haiku moment: Possum on persimmon tree branch/ Eclipsing dusky drowsy moon!Moves more slowly than I could ever hope to. I slide back into my toasty room, ready to deliver the advice you need this week: A a as if time is your ally, not your adversary. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Food writer Barbara Nachman recently wrote a piece on the discrepancies between the gorgeous photos on the package and the actual food inside. Here's what she wrote about Celestes Pizza-For-One: "What you see: a crisp, thin-crust pizza drizzled with creamy white cheese and studded with 40 plump sausages. What you get: a thin pizza crust hidden under motded pink goo and pocked with 40 tiny meat pellets." I'm bringing this up, Taurus, in hopes of gently preparing you for your week ahead. Incongruities, I'm afraid, will abound. What you'll see: catharsis-rich soap operas. Whar you'll get: meandering shaggy-dog stories.

Here's the only clue I'm at liberty to reveal: The secret you're most ashamed of just happens to be the key to getting the love you've been missing.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): This week is about dealing with your fallibility, your mortality and your unredeemed darkness — if you're brave. But if you're cowardly, this week will be about clinging to your false pride, rationalizing your wrong turns, and running away from the tests your guardian angel desperately wants you to negotiate. I guess it's possible you'll figure out a way to skulk down the middle padi: irresolute waffling, noncommittal paralysis and clever cynicism. Unless you choose the courageous way out, though, next weeks horoscope will be exacdy the same as diis one.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): A few weeks ago, Bosnia's foreign minister invited me to Sarajevo to do some astrological intelligence-gathering. Though flattered, I declined. My Cancerian needs for privacy and self-protection were so monumental that I couldn't bear leaving my house, let alone flying into the middle of a war zone. I'm sure all you other Crabs felt something very similar. Since then, though, the gods of the underworld have finished pushing all my buttons — as I'm sure they have yours. And now my wanderlust is starting to billow — as I'm positive yours will, too. I suggest, therefore, that you embark on an adventure as riotous as the one I'm plotting.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): February 29 is rarer and weirder by far dian Friday die 13th, yet bears little of its superstitious taint. In fact, Leap Year Day has historically been regarded as a special window of opportunity during which women could buck the cultural tradition and propose marriage to men. Calendar expert James Koehnline even goes so far as to suggest that we dub this holiday "Reverse Chivalry Day." Now it so happens that this whole week is an excellent astrological time for you Virgos to turn all sorts of tables and flip all kinds of flops, so I recommend that you celebrate Leap Year Day every day.

The Datinq Game

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): There must have been, more dian 2000 years ago, a magic moment when a burst of inspiration seared through the mind of the emperor Shih Huang-ti, giving him die idea to create die Great Wall of China. Try to imagine, Gemini, that someday there'll come an analogous moment in your own life. And dien dare to hope that diis moment will arrive in die next 10 days. Picture a cosmic opening during which you will glimpse the outlines of a magnificent project that'll motivate you for years to come.

SEVEN DAYS

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Until the 19th century, scientists trumpeted the dogma that meteorites were a myth. It was not possible for rocks to fall from die skies, the experts asserted, and therefore they didn't — even when ordinary folks reported dieydid. Likewise, scientists refused to believe in dinosaurs until the 19th century, despite the fact that what we now call fossils had been found in the earth for all of recorded history. If you surmise I'm drawing a parallel to the way scientists now treat UFOs, you're right. But I'm also asking you Scorpios to prevent your oh-sorational mind from squelching the curious magic diat's erupting in your own personal life. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Cabin fever. Have you got it? If not, get it. Now! You hear me? You have no right to be out gallivanting around to every human zoo in town. So go home. Bake some damn cookies or something. Write in your journal. Find out why the planets are beaming so many hunker-down vibes down on you. You need a nap, homeboys and homegirls. Two, three, many naps. You need to, I don't know, crochet in front of the TV while soaking your feet in epsom salts. You need to play board games until you're so bored you find out what you've been avoiding. Or something. Go homd CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Since the planets have primed you to be a superlearner in the next few weeks, you ought to take advantage. You're going to digest mounds of data at a high rate of speed, so you might as well be very discriminating about what kind of data you put on your plate. I mean, do you want to come out of this phase being an expert on, say, Headier Locklear s health and beauty secrets? Or would you rather double your understanding about a subject that'll make you a sexier, more-highly-paid human dynamo? AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Decide which of the two classified ads below appeals to you most, and treat it as a metaphor for the task you have ahead of you. 1) "Drab, unimaginative company seeks talendess people with no ambitions for a job that performs no useless service for anyone. Interested in wasting your time while drifting aimlessly through life?" (2) "High-octane organization that understands how to play wliile working and work while playing seeks resdess souls for a job diat's rarely boring. Interested in having the privilege and responsibility of reinventing yourself continuously?" PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): National Geographic recently reported on a 101-year-old plant living at a botanical garden in Oxford, England. Though this specimen of Agave femxrhad grown six feet tall since its birth in 1894, it had never once bloomed — until recendy. On a fateful December day in 1994, die greenhouse temperature accidentally exceeded 68 degrees, and in the next two weeks the plant doubled its height. In May, it burst out in flowers for the first time ever. This very true fairy tale is my gift to you this week, Pisces. It reminds me so much of the way a long-dormant part of you is finally blossoming. O © Copyright 1996

The Best of 'Vermont ETV Cooks!'

CITY HAL L * * Al Pacino's a big-city mayor, John Cusack's his loyal, idealistic aide. When scandal knocks on the door, the two have different ideas about how to answer it. Sumptuous, but predictable and borderline silly in places. BEFORE AND A F T E R * * * * Meryl Streep takes another trip to thriller country with this drama about a small-town doctor whose life is turned upside down when her teenage son's accused of murdering his girlfriend and then disappears. Turns out he was invited to New York to be a guest on "The Ricki Lake Show." Just kidding. Liam Neeson co-stars. RUMBLE IN THE B R O N X * * * Hong Kong action legend Jackie Chan stars here as a cop who travels to New York for a wedding and vows to save a beautiful woman he meets there from a gang of bikers who are bothering her in a big way. UNFORGETTABLE * * Linda Fiorentino is reteamed with Last Seduction director John Dahl for the sci-fi story of a scientist who invents the means to transfer one person's memories into another person's mind. Ray Liotta co-stars as a widower on the trail of his wife's killer. Intriguing premise. But formulaic writing makes this one less than memorable. MR . WRONG** Ellen DeGeneres takes her act to the big screen with this one-joke twist on the whole crazy stranger genre. Bill While You Were Sleeping (and I was) Pullman plays her bad date. Wisely, DeGeneres didn't quit diat day job. HAPPY GILMORE** The first of the year's upcoming glut of golf movies, the latest from SNLs Adam Sandler concerns a loveable putz (get it?) who turns out to be a genius on the links. MUPPET TREASURE I S L A N D * * * A warm and literally fuzzy adaptation of the Robert Louis Stevenson classic, with Tim Curry as Long John Silver. Directed by Jim Henson's son Brian. MAN WITH A P L A N * * * * Vermont filmmaker John {Vermont is For Lovers) O'Brien's latest effort features an actual dairy farmer named Fred Turtle who, finding himself unable to pay his taxes, decides on a new career: Congressman. A wonderfully whimsical mix of fact and fiction. DEAD MAN WALKING*** Sean Penn and Susan Sarandon star in die true story of a nun and the serial killer she comes to know and care for on death row. From Bob Roberts director Tim Robbins. BROKEN ARROW* John Travolta goes ballistic in this story of a jet pilot (Christian Slater) who tries to save the world when his old buddy snaps and hijacks a nuclear warhead. So lame you'll wish the theater had ejector seats. LEAVING LAS V E G A S * * * After a series of embarrassing bonehead comedies, Nicolas Cage has evidently decided to regroup and shore up his reputation as an intense dramatic actor. W h a t better than this bleak tale of the relationship shared by an abused call girl (Elisabeth Shue) and a suicidal alcoholic to get that process started? Cage won a Golden Globe for his performance.

John Malkovich gives a performance of impressive CROWD John Malkovich tries to have restraint and power as the ailing physician who, trying , ... . . . . J .. . c J r LII -J N employee "relations withJ Julia Roberts. r J to rind a cure for his malady, accidentally concocts a formula with addictive, transforming properties. As interpreted by Frears, the change isn't so much from good to evil as from leashed to unleashed — from control to a state of heightened, unchecked appetite. A hunger that extends beyond the pleasures of the flesh to the intoxication of blood. Of course, it would be difficult to keep a figure like Hyde from being interesting. The real achievement in Mary Reilly is with the title character. As conceived by Martin, scripted by Christopher Hampton and evocatively brought to life by Roberts, Mary is the product of what we would call a dysfunctional family — in Stevenson's time it would have been called horror. Monstrosity. Perhaps the most fascinating aspect of this understated production, so entrancing on many levels, is the psychology of this character, the parallels between the cruelties inflicted on her by a father whom "drink made a different man" and those inflicted upon an unsuspecting city by the transmogrified Mr. Hyde. Through the limitless London fog you can almost hear Oprah warning Roberts that the attraction she feels toward her boss is really a self-destructive product of her unresolved feelings for her father. The picture fires on all pistons: the art direction is dreamlike, Hampton's dialogue is 95 percent clunkerfree, the acting's first rate — even the normaH^bnnecessary Glenn Close makes remarkable a marginal part. But most exemplary is Frears' direction. His shrewdly economical use of violent imagery and special effects offers definitive proof that less can be unncrvingly mon;. A horror film as ambient and unconventional in its own way as Eraserhead or Picnic at Hanging Rock, Mary Reilly eschews run-of-the-mill chills, giving viewers inste.ad that rarest thrill: the feeling of seeing something for the first time. With source material a full century old, that's a fairly nifty trick.

UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL Michelle Pfeiffer's a novice T V reporter, Robert Redford a veteran producer. Together they make beautiful news coverage in the latest from Fried Green Tomatoes director Jon Avnet. DOWN P E R I S C O P E M*A *S*H meets "McHale's Navy" in this comedy about an irreverent officer assigned to a rusted-out joke of a submarine. Major League's David Ward is at the helm. THE CITY OF LOST CHILDREN From French filmmakers Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Marc Caro (Delicatessen) comes a phantasmagorical tale of a mad scientist, children who dream, and a half-witted circus strongman. See review this issue, page 21.

Directed by Wayne Wang, Paul Auster

It's a festival of comfort food a s local h o m e cooks w a r m u p your winter with their favorite recipes in a delicious live special.

MARY R E I L L Y * * * * Hard to believe the intellect behind Muppet Treasure Island is the same one at the heart of Stephen (The Grifters, Dangerous Liaisons) Frears' ethereal exercise in gothic minimalism, Mary Reilly. Based on the 1990 novel by Valerie Martin, the film retells Robert Louis Stevenson's classic story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde from the perspective of the households chambermaid, played here with surprising credibility by Julia Roberts.
