ODD, STRANGE, CURIOUS AND WEIRD BUT TRUE NEWS ITEMS FROM EVERY CORNER OF THE GLOBE HUNKA BURN. ______ _________ __ b__ San Diego police rhaiwd Tammy Jo Garcia, 27, with 25 counts o f arson in the past two years, explaining that fires stimulate her sexually. Two men, identified as Garcias lovers, were also charged, one o f whom admitted starting fires to impress Garcia so she would have sex with him.

mg — and suddenly so* eone fell onto me from above,” Max Dadashvili, 26, told the Yediot Ahronot newspaper- “I fell back with my chair, got a tough blow in the back and lost consciousness.” The jumper got up and was about to walk away when Dadashvili s friends stopped him and called police.

SHORT-SIGHTED Three Ethiopian hijackers, armed with an ax, a fire extin guisher, a bottle o f whiskey . , and something they claimed was a bomb, took over an Ethiopian airliner as it left the capital o f Addis Ababa bound for Kenya. They demanded that the pilot fly to Australia, ignoring his explanation that the plane didn’t have anywhere near enough fuel. Two and one-half hours later, the plane ran out o f fuel and crashed into the Indian Ocean just off a resort beach near Mozambique. Two o f the

hijackers survived the crash, along with 52 other people aboard. ♦ In Owensboro, Kentucky, a Davies County Road Department driver tried to drive a 20-ton dump truck across a bridge with a posted weight limit sign o f three tons. He made it half way across before the bridge collapsed. • Police in Andover, New Jersey, reported that a 47-year-old man and his 38-year-old wife were slighdy injured when they lit a stick o f dynamite inside their car and went to toss it out, only to realize then that they had forgotten to first roil down a window.

ing toward vigilantism? Where is Rick? — Fred G. Hill Burlington FILM FARE In response to William Meisenzahl’s letter (Weekly Mail, January 12), I would like to men tion that independent and foreign cinema is quite alive and well in Burlington Burlington College offers public screenings and semester-long courses which, for a modest “auditing” fee, are open to the general public. Tom Garrett is showing 15 French films in his French Cinema course... Barry Snyder and I are also showing 15 films in our Introduction to Foreign Cinema... In February, Barry Snyder conducted a workshop intensive study of “The Films of Alfred Hitchcock.” This featured a public screening... o f his 1958 masterpiece, Vertigo, preceded by Chuck Jones’ 1955 “Two Scents Worth” with Pepe Le Pew. Twenty-five people attended. The Vermont International Film Foundation presents independent works by Vermonters and out-of-state filmmakers at various showcases. In Rutland last month, we presented short works by Jay Craven, Nora Jacobson and David Giancola in our Touring Filmmakers Series, a collaboration with Vermont Independent Media Artists. This month in St. Johnsbury, John O ’Brien, Robin Lloyd and John Douglas will be showing their work. In April, California filmmaker Rick Goldsmith will present his Academy Awardnominated documentary, Tell the Truth and Run: George Seldes and the American Press, in Woodstock. If all goes as we are planning, there will be a two-day Native American Filmmakers showcase held in Burlington in the middle of May. All o f this is leading up to our fall Film Festival presenting both foreign and indepen dent programs. Mr. Meisenzahl, welcome back to Vermont. We look forward to seeing you at the movies. — Kenneth Peck Charlotte (Kenneth Peck is the chair o f Cinema Studies and Film Production at Burlington College and execu tive director o f the Vermont International Film Foundation)

SLING BACK Sure, Sling Blade is a rarity, and we need a strong tradition o f films like this, not rarities. So Rick Kisonak and I agree: It’s uncommonly good, but we dis agree on its achievement. In fact, this is the kind o f contrived sim plicity that wins raves from reviewers so starved for opportu nity, they can’t wait just a little longer. Here’s a boy o f about 12 who speaks 10 years older — like a scriptwriter, in fact, out o f touch with childhood. And here’s a man, isolated from normal peo ple all his life, and retarded to boot, who adjusts to society and it to him easier than I’ve yet managed. They both are wise beyond plausibility, sensitive, perceptive, reflective, and, by golly, so is the whole town! All but the villain. One wonders whence come the inmates o f the local psychiatric hospital. Well, as the wisdom piles up, Karl’s IQ can’t help rising 50 points a week; pretty soon he’s able to plan a murder, arrange for his friends to be away, carry it out coldly — and keep our approval and sympathy. O f course, he must go back into the hospital; he’s happier there, and who would want him living next door, anyway? But this is a morally shock ing murder, not like Karl’s first two, done in the passion and confusion of childhood, but the considered choice o f one shown to be a rational adult. No hint that society has ways of handling the problem Karl solves solipsistically. And it comes hard on the heels o f another such: In Absolute Power, Clint Eastwood immo bilizes a Secret Service agent, lectures him, then coldly and unnecessarily kills him. Reasons are given for both, o f course; we must have reasons or accept anarchy. But their validity depends wholly upon sympathy with the protagonist, not on any profounder idea o f justice. Is this a slid-

Dear Cecil, I heard there is a book purporting that Lewis Carroll and a dose associate were actually “Jack the Ripper.” Supposedly done by a scholar, die book examined Carroll’s “Jabberwocky,” daim ing there is a pattern in the nonsense words that reveals such messages as “We killed the whores,” etc. Have you ever heard o f such a theory or book? If so, any ideas o f your own on the sub ject? “Intriguing scholarship” or “skip this sheaf of academic drool and try spinning Gzzy Osbourne LPs backward?” — A.H., Traugott, Austin, Texas Stick with Ozzy, A.H. This drool doesn’t even qualify as academic.

Richard Wallace, author of Jack the Ripper: “Light-hearted Friend" (Gemini Press, 1996), spent “25 years in the data-processing field,” according to his bio — meaning, i dunno, he spent a quarter-century in the basement operat ing the paper shredder. The book proceeds from the following logic: Lewis. Carroll loved anagrams. Anagrams reveal deep truths. Thelines in Carroll’s poetry can be formed into anagrams. Some of these anagrams strike certain crackpots as incriminating. Etgo, Lewis < ^ o !l was Jack the Ripper. For example, Wallace starts with this famous verse from ^Jabberwocky”;

STOWE JOB

| First came the The Burlington Free Press m four-page spectacular on the Ski Capital o f the ® East three weeks ago. A swat team o f the papers i most talented reporters invaded Vermont’s best| known enclave for the well-heeled and pro| duced a multi-color gag job o f Gannett-styie g tidbits and inanities.

Althea Later — Ding-dong, the witch is dead... Well, not quite, but she has taken a powder. Whether it was a lightning stroke of reality that hit her or heeding the caring advice of friends, Althea Kroger finally made the right move this week by declaring a retreat from the battle she began two years ago. An unpaid leave of absence. Just what the doctor ordered. Althea doesn’t get it, and never has since the day she walked into Superior Court and took the oath o f office from her “mentor,” Associate Justice John Dooley. (No doubt His Royal Plumpness would prefer we forgot that little piece o f judicial history.) With the mighty sword o f righteousness at her side, Althea’s wreaked havoc on the county courthouse and its employees. The former state senator with extraordinary ambition and an extraordinary lack o f common sense stooped to conquer, and in the process destroyed her reputation. Monday Althea stood defiantly at a podium in the middle of the courtroom with her hus band Joseph Kroger, a St. Mike’s religion pro fessor, seated alone in the jury box. Obviously Joe thinks she’s innocent o f everything, but the other jurors — 27 assistant judges and the Judicial Conduct Board — beg to differ. Unfortunately, Joe’s ivory tower expertise has been o f little help. Althea proclaims herself a victim of a “witch hunt.” O f a “lynch mob cli mate.” She claims that Assistant Judge Elizabeth Gretkowski and the Vermont Association of County Judges were out to get her. Althea said Monday she took office with “high hopes.” She painted herself as a reformer with high ethical standards. She want ed to make a name for herself. She has. Reinforcements — Congrats to Mayor Peter Clavelle. Great campaign! The real news, though, is the return o f Tom Smith to the City Council... to keep an eye on Pedro. And the ■ ■ arrival o f a Progressive newcomIB er — Traci Sawyers from Ward 2. Sawyers is one very bright woman. Definite rookie-of-theyear candidate. Great hair, too. mw Secrets Update — Apparently Gov. Howard Dean was afflicted I with a case of “do as I say, not as I do” during his recent appear ance on the PBS television pro gram, “The Editors.” Ho-Ho backed up the refusal o f Press Secretary Stephanie Carter to make public his weekly meeting schedule. What’s he afraid of? Who does the governor o f Vermont meet with on the job? None o f your business, folks. Yours truly asked if he really meant it when he said on the air, “I think an awful lot of the things I do are suitable, we hope, for public coverage, and things that I might rather not have in the press, but I think the public has a legitimate right to know about most of the things I do.” Dean’s Evil Twin emerged. “No. I just said it. I was having fun,” replied Dean mockingly. He tried to laugh it off. Many o f his meetings were “sensitive,” he said. “So I really don’t think,” said Ho-Ho, “it’s your busi ness to know everybody I meet with.” Yours truly requested a partial list, but that got nowhere with the guy who slept in the Lincoln Bedroom. “I think you’re confusing the public’s right to know with your right to know,” said Dean, “and there is a difference.” Interesting notion, but he didn’t elaborate. Obviously he was just blowing smoke on “The Editors.” □

■1 Then last Thursday in a remarkable coinci! dence both o f Vermont’s leading dailies, the | Freeps and the Rutland Herald offered up front| page stories that gallantly attempted to reinvent g Stowe’s image. Both newspapers pulled out all ® the stops to once and for all bury the image of l the old Stowe, the playground o f the rich where If the Mercedes &C Jacuzzi set cavorts in sublime | leisure. Instead, the star writers of both papers » painted the picture o f a new Stowe that is actu®ally a hardscrabble enclave in the Green 1 Mountains populated by automotive grease | monkeys, rusted pickups and needy B&B oper| ators. A quaint town where working-class folks IJ struggle to make ends meet while the wolf howls at the rickety front door. Like you, yours truly was saddened by those | stories. Everybody’s got feelings. Hey, we never | knew o f the great need before. Well, Vermon ters stick together and help their neighbors, right? Stowe needs our help, so here are two suggestions: | 1. Hunger is always the worst affliction o f the poor, so let’s I rally to feed our poor Stowe brethren. In the Old North End l! of Burlington, where yours truly | resides, we could set up food | drop boxes at the mom-and-pop « stores that line North Street. A * box o f pasta here, some dog bis1 cuits there (they have mighty | impressive pedigree pooches in | Stowe, you know). It adds up. g 2. Yeah, I know, Burlap’s already loaded up with sister cities in I Nicaragua, Russia and the | Middle East, but how can we | overlook such a needy town right in our backyard? A Burlington/Stowe Sister City 1 i Project would allow the good| hearted people o f Vermont’s largest city to see the effects of mtheir charity close-up and per1 sonal. Mayor Clavelle, are you listening? We could let our | Stowe neighbors access the | brain trust in the CEDO office. Maybe we could repave their bike path, or upgrade their recreational trail system, i Burlington has the expertise and Stowe has the 1 need. Go for it. Actually, all kidding aside, both newspaper articles were masterful public relations smoke screens. They were thinly veiled e-mails from | the land o f the rich to the lawmakers under the | golden dome. The fact is, in the new postI Dooley’s Revenge world, Stowe’s riches are finally going to be tapped to boost the educa tional quality o f all Vermont kids. The rich are | going to be be forced to share. Is that so evil? The fortunate residents o f the glitterati I Vermont resort with the grandest o f grand lists will have to cough up some cash for towns with I skimpier tax bases and schools that no Stowe | parent would dare send their child to. The two-paycheck working families o f I Vermont suffer in relative silence. Belt-tighten®ing is just another part o f living for them. The poor are generally quiet, except for their profes| sional advocates. But prick the rich just a little | bit and they squeal like stuck pigs. That’s the way it’s always been and it’s not about to change. Nice try, boys. flm ***** ******************** ***** ***** ***** mm mm ***** mm mm mm mm ********** ***** mm mm mm' mm mm mm mm mm

uciano Pavarotti. Aretha Franklin. The Vienna Boys Choir. Nine Inch Nails. No matter what our taste, every one o f us is attracted to the sound of the human voice. Instantly dis tinct from the first hello on the telephone, each is unique, though the accidents of physiology, geography and culture herd us into recog nizable tribes. This week the Music Department o f Middlebury College offers a three-day conference to the campus '77 community and the public that considers, compares1,tfomposes for, and raises in concert, the human voice. “Festival o f the Human Voice II” brings togeth er students and faculty from Bennington, Bard and Dartmouth Colleges as well as Middlebury, and professional composers and performers o f contemporary music. ‘This is really something I want us all to do together — to celebrate the human voice, our universal tool o f expression,” says Middlebury music profes sor and festival producer Su Lian Tan. “Its going to be a wonderful opportunity for young people to see what others are doing, to learn and be with each other.” Granted, this festival is no hootenanny. It kicks off with a lecture by Middlebury music professor George Todd on “The Voice and Electronics.” Other topics bear titles like “Commissioning and Premiering,” by guest profes sional, the New York-based tenor Paul Sperry. “Performance Rights and the Vocal Composer,” in which two ASCAP representatives discuss art and commerce. “Origins

born in Malaysia and studied in the U.S. and London, is uniquely qualified for the sub ject. “I come from such ethnici ty,” she says. “I’ll be talking specifically about Malaysian folk music.” She’ll also be per forming, with two other sopra nos, her own music adapted from the traditions o f her homeland. One presentation which should prove fascinating to a general audience as well as scholars is the lecture-demon stration by the Tuvan singers, Huun-Huur-Tu, which explores the relationship o f vocal music and ecology. The peculiar vocal and instrumental techniques o f these indigenous Siberians are among the world’s oldest — and most closely linked to their surroundings. The imitation o f sounds in nature, or mimesis, is considered to link the musicmaker to the creatures and nat ural forces important to them; in the case o f Tuvans, that would be their domesticated animals, the mountains and plains, and, o f course, light, wind and water. The Tuvans’ best-known vocal style is called “throat

singing,” a sort o f ono matopoeia in which imitations o f natural sounds become music. The purpose of music for the Tuvans, in fact, is to delineate their topography — somewhat like the Australian aborig ines’ song-lines — and as such represents an ani mistic view o f the world. O f course, as life for the Tuvans has changed over the centuries, their indige nous music has shifted — younger members o f the group now listen to tapes o f Western musicians. Ironically, no recordings of their own music are for sale in Tuva. But the instrumenta tion, as it will be demon strated in Middlebury this week, remains strictly native: along with guitar, Jew’s harp, shamans drum and jingles, the Tuvans will be playing a birchbark reed, which imitates the sound o f young deer, duyug (boiled, dried horse hooves clacked together) and xapchyk (a rattle made from sheeps kneebones, inside a bull’s testi cle). “It’s an experience itself just to hear them,” says Tan. Other vocal highlights — though far less exotic than the Tuvans — include the Middlebury College Choir per forming sacred choral music, an opera, Gimpel the Fool, com posed by Middlebury students, and Daron Hagens Vermont premiere o f Heartland Hagen, a nationally known composer and pianist, will also lecture on the marriage o f pop music and operatic techniques in his oneact opera, Vera o f Las Vegas. Tan is exuberant about ral lying students, faculty, com posers, commissioners and the public to the cause celLbre o f vocal music. “I mean this to be a statewide festival,” she con cludes, “to have as many lives as possible transformed by this event.” □ A ll workshops and concerts at the Festival o f the Human Voice II are free and open to the public.

Having invent ed “Attention Deficit Disorder” in the first place, they’re now stepping up. the administration o f Prozac and Ritalin, just as the so-called recovery movement has taken the most basic human desires for pleasure, release, excite ment and companionship and lumped them together as a “disease” afflicting 98 percent o f the population, most o f whom, o f course, are still “in denial.” The underlying mes sage o f all self-help groups is this: You are wot okay the way you are.

I say “may or may not” be true because there is no such thing as addiction “science,” and no proof that one model o f treatment is more effective than any other. Some sort o f treatment appears to be o f help when it comes to kicking drugs, and since most treat ment facilities do nothing more than dry out the victim and toss him in a 12-step tank, it can be said that most addicts “recover” on the 12step model. For this the insurance companies pay out thousands o f dollars and all sorts o f people get to write books and be experts. But the only ones who stay “recov ered,” in the end, are the ones who prefer it that way. The others sink or swim, as they always have, as they always will.

ave you ever reached the exit for your office and felt like flooring it to Montreal? Do you spend hours at your desk, daydreaming about evil pranks you’d like to play on your co-workers and boss? Is the most challenging part o f your day smuggling boxes o f paper clips home? Hey, career disenchantment happens to all o f us. When such a wage-earners weltschmerz comes over me, I usually reach for the want ads. Invariably, I sigh at the homogenous “earn $ 1000’s in your home” promises and, Monday morning, return to the

Blossom’s a very shy gorilla — she doesn’t even take her skirt off all the way.” But how do you train for this, I ask? Lessons at Planet Rock? “You don’t — the first time I did it, I was horrified,” Giacherio concedes. “I came back here and said, “Oh, I am doing that again!’ But you get used to it.

And in my travels I’ve discovered actual jobs where underutilized talents are indeed allowed to bear fruit. You just need to know where to look. On the Barre-Montpelier Road, for example, there’s a novelty store by the name of Rubber Bubbles, and within that store lives Blossom, Vermont’s only stripping ape. Blossom is the costume creation of the folks behind the counter, who assume the character to deliver birthday messages to aghast locals. What does it take to make Blossom? “You’ve got to be willing to sell the idea,” explains Rubber Bubbles clerk Janet Giacherio. “The customer

Besides, I can’t wait 26 years for a career opportunity. Before I bid Mr. Gravedigger goodbye, though, I have to ask: Is there one headstone that stands our as his favorite?

Even I can guess the sex of a newborn chicken within two tries or so. I think. I call Hy-Line International, a company based in Pennsylvania that sexes egg-laying chickens for all o f New England.

I emit a sort o f choking sound, and he adds kindly, “It’s not that badL I mean, there are 3600 seconds in an hour, right?

SD : Why aren’t clarinet soloists as sought after as, say, pianists or cellists?

RS: It takes some time for peo ple to know there is an elo quent amount o f literature to be heard and interpreted. I would oftentimes go to orches tras and the people would tell me, “You know, this is the first time we have ever had a clar inet solo.” I am talking about orchestras that have been in existence for half a century. Or they say, “Well, last time we had a clarinet soloist, they played the Mozart Clarinet Concerto and we didn’t know there were any other good clar inet' concertos.” SD : Is that why you are involved

in commissioning works?

RS: That is because music is going to outlive us. To be part o f that — since I’m not a com poser — is very, very exciting. Creating new sound — that is one o f the more miraculous and mysterious things on the planet. It didn’t exist before, and then through the mind of someone, put on paper, it does. It will never cease to exist as long as there are people to play it. SD : True, it is not like a p a in t ing or a book, which you can appreciate alone.

RS: Ultimately, it needs the lis tener. There is a satisfaction of playing with one another, but finally you want to share it with people. You can make great desserts, but you want other people to enjoy them. SD : Speaking o f listeners, how do you fe e l about the outlook fo r classical music? I know you do a lot o f work in the schools.

RS: I certainly see a lot o f young people going into music. There is no dearth o f enthusiasm, or talent. Not just in America, but all over. So that’s a good sign. SD : Are you concerned about getting younger audiences?

They are right with you. This is what they do themselves. They are inventing, they are creating, they are relating to their peers. They are full of imagination. And that’s what music does. It allows you to be full o f imagination. It gives you that impetus, to dream. SD : W hat do you listen to, say, when you are riding in your car?

RS: The Mazurati brothers. SD : You don’t mean the car guys?

RS: Yeah, they are so funny. I listen to ... lots of things. What I don’t listen to is overly repeti tive pop music... My dad, when I was growing up, always said, “Well, listen to this or that singer.” For him, it was Frank Sinatra, or Ella Fitzgerald, or Joe Williams. It wasn’t my stuff, but I could appreciate what was happen ing. So I flip the dial, and I try to pick out something that is saying something to me. But if all else fails, you just put on some Mozart.

clothing have been neatly replaced with beetles — seems merely amusing. In the two-dimensional realm, David Powell’s four con tributions are the most appeal ing. The elements o f images, color, art-history references and seamless coilaging technique are outstanding, and the finished products manage both beauty and humor. “The Greenbean Ambassador” juxtaposes a Renaissance painting with a modern dish o f greenbeans and bacon, and “The Artist in His Studio,” plays on Courbet and modern abstraction, among other things. In the hands o f a trained painter, manipulating formal artistic values may be the whole point of the exercise. Such is the case with both Georgia Myer and Sumru Tekin, who ply two- and three-dimensional surfaces, respectively, focusing primarily on the nuances o f tex ture and the subtle grace of minimal color. Two works with quiet charm are the fanciful, minia ture paper “birdhouse” with a cozy — and electrically lit — interior, by Diane Gabriel, and Kim Bartell’s Day o f the Dead-

style skeleton covered by orangish glass and framed with bright blue slabs o f wood. If there is a bottom to this collage spectrum, it is anchored by Heloise Williams’ carelessly created “Fungi (Mystical Night Swamp),” which, despite its cryptic name, is simply a bad, unframed hotel-art landscape whose back is scrawled and painted upon in ragtag fashion.

A long thread wrapping and dangling from one end com pletes its seedy impression — and perhaps that was the point. In any case, the work is uninviting o f further specula tion. “Some Assembly Required” is perhaps the Firehouse’s most democratic exhibit to date, encompassing the good, the bad, and the truly ugly. □

A t that place Rolfing is sometimes intense but not painful. Rolfing that errs in the first direction may hurt. Rolfing that errs in the second direction may feel good but sacrifice results.

By far the best treatment for most illnesses, says Brown, is the “home” remedy. “People don’t under stand that if they are sick they need to stay home,” says Brown. “We all need to give ourselves permis sion to do that.” Traditional medicines and natural remedies can be used together most effectively, says Brown, when combined with preventative checkups with naturo pathic and medical doctors. “If you want to travel in both worlds you should have a practitioner in both worlds who knows you when you’re well,” Brown says. “We do that for our cars and our animals, but we don’t do that for our selves.” □

ARIES

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): An | Aries reader recently wrote to complain that I’m too tough on Aries and too lenient with Scorpios. I was amazed at this feedback, for two reasons. First, I don’t make this stuff up! My goal is to objectively report the mood and tenor o f the planetary forces. Even more to the point, I truly | love all the signs equally. Differently but equally. I’ve spent years in passionate meditation striving to overcome any personal biases I might have had when I started this job. I’ll admit that I’ve been less than effusive in the praise and blessings I’ve sent your way recently. But that’s because I’m mirroring the teaching that Saturn has been asking you to master, namely: Greater freedom can come to you only through more stringent self-discipline. (Apr. 20-May 20):

j Throughout European history, the dragon was most often a symbol of monstrous power and danger. In China, though, the mythical beast has | sometimes been regarded as helpful and lucky; in ancient times it was even the symbol o f the emperor. In both cultures, the dragon has been j portrayed as the guardian o f fabulous treasure. All thes^m eanings apply, I believe, to the dragonish force you ! n°w face, f

CANCER (June 21-July 22): As usual, I’ll be wearing a Veil on March 8, International Women’s Day.

We Crabs are, after all, the most sensitive males o f the zodiac; if we don’t do it, it may not get done. (Besides, astrological forces are egging us on.) You guys might also choose to give women the gift of your deep and luxurious listening (suppressing your macho urge to interrupt them every 20 seconds). O r you can let your favorite females know you’re committed to cheering them on as they zero in closer to what they really want to do with their lives. As for you Cancerian women; You now have the

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I heard meditation teacher Jack Kornfield espouse a wonderfully efficient method for dealing with negative and unwanted thoughts.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You Centaurs are more likely to be motivated by a clear, hot picture in your mind than a soft, moist feeling in your bones. This week’ll be different, though. Gurgling emotions will be the engine o f more than a few decisions. You’ll experience firsthand the wisdom of French philosopher Blaise Pascal, who said “The heart has its reasons, which reason does not know.”

know that must sound crazy. I mean, let’s face it, there are fewer Scorpio saints than any other sign, and if you’re a typical Scorpio you have as much hope of achieving a state of sweet purity and unabashed benevolence as a pregnant cow does of appearing in a Calvin Klein ad. Nevertheless, for the first time ever, I dreamed last night that your head was surrounded by a glistening, pulsating halo. And current astrological aspects seem to confirm that the dream was accurate.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I’ve never thought o f a solar eclipse as an inherently bad omen. O n the contrary, it can have a cleansing effect on moldy old karma. Occasionly, I’ve even seen it purge the accumulated dross and dregs of months of unconsciously made decisions. So what should we make o f the total eclipse that’ll be electrifying your house of relationships this weekend? I believe it’ll be a perfect moment for you to scour away tired old approaches to partnership, and make way for a revolutionary new dispensation.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I know the old superstition says that if your palm itches, you’re about to receive unexpected money. But what does it mean if, while I’m meditating on you, prickly tickles erupt in my palm? As is my style, I choose to believe the best: that there’ll soon be a surge in your cash flow. O f course, my interpretation is also influenced by the fact that four planets are about to convene a big blowout in your House o f Loot.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): This’ll be a successful, even blissful week if you pounce on unexpected turning points the instant they show up. They may be ripe for only a very brief time, though, so don’t be coy and don’t procrastinate. And what exactly will be the nature o f these pregnant moments?

Dear Lola, I ju st read a recent issue cft Utne R eader in which an author suggest ed that we consult philosophers instead oft psychologists ftor cu r problems. I wondered what you think and which category you ftall into, exactly. Is love a philosophical question or a psychological condition? — Curious in Calais Dear Curious, I think the problem is deftinitives. Ift we have to subscribe to one d iscipline and one theorist therein, we miss cut on a whole world oft delicious dichotomy. By locking only through the myopic eyes oft Freud you lose sight oft Foucault, you c a n ’t always cut-logic your problems and you c a n ’t necessarily deconstruct them into oblivion. Our dilemmas make us hum an: "I have problems therefore I am. ” My “model” is to stop recovering and start discovering, embrace what makes you weak a n d what makes you strong. Put them in a blender and then paint your canvas. Sc, I guess that would make me an artist. And it makes love one, too. With love,
