AFTER WAR, VICTORY?

Donald R. Eggert Rev. Diane Sullivan Stefan Bumbeck

The Pentagon has a scheme brew ing that calls for setting up a provi sional government in which Americans head each of the 23 ministries. In essence, they want to win the peace the way they pushed for war: alone. Most of the world disagrees with this plan. U.S. occupation of post-war Iraq could spell disaster. Major relief organizations believe that it will be difficult or impossi ble to help starving or malnour ished people in a Pentagon-controlled Iraq. Not including the U.N. in post-war planning could heighten tensions between the U.S. and other important allies, not to mention the already heightened anti-American hatred breeding in the Arab world... If this war was about ensuring that Iraqis are fed, clothed, healthy and secure, hundreds of thousands are still in serious jeopardy. If this war was about bringing democracy to the Iraqi people, we haven’t even begun that project. If it was about removing Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction, we haven’t found any. If it was about reducing the threat of terrorism, we’ve done nothing — except perhaps to fan the flames of Muslim fundamentalism. If it was about stabilizing the region, right now there is increased instability. And if it was about bringing the world together to address threats to our security, we’ve clearly done the

opposite. Only if the war was about taking Saddam out of power — and literally nothing else — did this week’s events signal victory. Not only is it way too early to claim victory, but America’s policy of unilateralism should not go unchecked.

Hold on, America. The barbar ians are at the helm. If they have no respect for museums full of cen turies-old illuminated manuscripts, neither can they have respect for the Metropolitan Museum (as they have already shown by slashing funding for education and the arts). Fundamentalists, of course, have an interest in destroying the historical record, which rubs up against their absolutes. Theirs is a close cousin to the barbarism of the Taliban... No one can seriously believe democracy can grow out of com plete waste. Which may contain the answer to the “why?” uttered by so many of us as we read about the devastation in Iraq. Demo cracy. .. is the last thing these barbarians have in mind.

BURNING ISSUE

The burning of books has long been the measure of true bar barism. The illiterate savages who destroy pages containing worlds of learning — literature, science, his torical record, mathematics — know not what they burn. Thus did the U.S. Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld, smile down upon the destruction of Iraq’s insti tutions of culture. While museums Alexis Lathem were ransacked... while schools NEW HAVEN and hospitals were gutted, while the Koranic library and the National Library and Archives C0W-T0WING burned — the U.S. made sure the A recent, well-written article by Ministry of Oil was securely guard Michael Colby regarding the battle ed, surrounded by tanks and hun for small-scale Vermont farmers, in dreds of American troops.

Look how the people are family farm spurred a counterpoint now free, he said.

channel covers the tragedy like it’s the end of the world. But taxpayers should not have to pay to keep them in business, consumers across the country should not have to put up with price-fixing on Vermont dairy products to pay for this archaic lifestyle, and we should not pretend there s something magical about dairy farms. I say, enough is enough! Stop pandering and move on to something that matters. Let’s start subsidizing (with both federal and

much money to subsidize these “family farms”? Dairy farms are not endemic to the Vermont way of life. All Vermont politicians and all of the Vermont media are constant ly sucking up to these families because they think these farmers are the only “real Vermonters.” (They are not.)

AIR RAVES Thank you very much for the arti cle you wrote about Pitz [Quattrone] and WGDR [“Catching Air,” April 9]. It has been a far too rare occurrence that someone takes

the time to expose all of the posi tive attributes of WGDR. More and more, WGDR and stations of its ilk are becoming an endangered species, and I am grateful to Seven Days for reminding folks that there is still radio out there that is fun, outspoken, open to all and, most importantly, alive and kickin’.

I am writing in response to the Seven Days article about our Gratitude Day event at Spirit Dancer Books & Gifts [“scene@,” March 26]. Gratitude Day is a customer appreciation day and not a publici ty event. I was disappointed in the unsolicited and the unkind response from your paper. It was my understanding and expectation that your reporter was there to rep resent your paper’s good will in reporting community events. The comments regarding our aura-viewing equipment were unin

formed and inappropriate. I would point out that this is highly sophis ticated bio-feedback equipment that measures and reproduces, in real time and in color, the electro magnetic field of the body. At the very least, it provides people with an image of their subtle energy bodv and in its higher and best use, provides valuable information to those utilizing any of the healing modalities within the field of vibra tional medicine. It seems an oversight that your reporter focused solely on her indi vidual experience, disregarding that of the hundreds of community members who attended. Gratitude Day is appreciated and looked for ward to by many in the community, and I would love to express my grat itude to those who attended and to the practitioners, readers, presenters and Spirit Dancer staff for their presence and support every year. Lastly, I question how this style of reporting serves your paper, the people and events you report about and the community as a whole.

ookie Republican Gov. Jim Douglas performed his best President Franklin Delano Roosevelt impersonation on Good Friday as he invited one and all to celebrate his first 100 Days o f Progress. The governor’s staff set up a stage and sound system in the Statehouse ceremo nial office and rolled out a big spread of punch and cookies in the Cedar Creek Room. The attendees consisted mainly of Douglas campaign donors, cabinet mem bers and folks on the Guvs personal staff. Joining Douglas on the stage were the leaders o f the Vermont House and Senate. The difference between Douglas in 2003 and Roosevelt in 1933 is that FDR had actually accomplished a great deal in his first 100 days. Meat-and-potato items like the Farm Credit Act and the Nation al Industrial Recovery Act. Jim Douglas’ plate hardly compares. His meat-and-potato issues of reforming Act 60 and the permit process are still in the legislative oven. And health-care reform isn’t even on Jimbo’s to-do list. Republican House Speaker Walter Freed used the occasion to bash the press for not writing glowing stories about his great leadership. Wally, you see, is not known for his communication skills. The antipathy our favorite oil and tobacco dealer has for the press goes way back. It’s a chip on his shoulder he sim ply cannot shake off. Senate president pro tern Peter Welch, a Democrat, followed Freed to the mike. Given the Guv’s public bashing of Senate Ds in the last couple weeks, it was a bit of a surprise to see Welchie par ticipate in the Douglas love-fest. Peter’s diplomatic skills shone brightly, however, as he stressed the need for cooperation and putting the people of Vermont first. And he praised Gov. Jimbo for being a leader who “knows the difference between honest political debate and political rhetoric.” Cute. You see, what Sen. Welch didn’t tell the gathering of Douglas supporters was that the new governor, while knowing the difference, had chosen to go with “political rhetoric,” rather than “honest political debate.” Welch later explained that in a political campaign a candidate speaks thematically. “That’s the poetry of politics,” said Welch. But after the election, the winning candidate for CEO o f Vermont must move into the legislative arena. _ “In the legislature you speak about details and the specifics,” said Welch. “That,” he said, “is the prose o f politics.” O ur new governor “has stayed on the poetry and didn’t sit down to the prose.” Instead of sitting down with the Senate leadership to collaborate on per mit reform, said Welch, Gov. Jimbo went on a speaking tour around the state bash ing Senate Democrats for not passing out a bill that had yet to reach the Senate. Hints o f the coming 2004 campaign can be seen in Douglas’ public threats

that Democrats should pay the price if the legislature does not pass his permit “reform” legislation this year. Last week, Gov. Jimbo told the TV cameras Ver mont voters will have a right to be “upset, unsatisfied and unforgiving” of Welch & Co. if the Guv’s agenda is not adopted. But many are questioning the Guv’s proposal. “We don’t want to sell out the envi ronment,” said Sen. Welch, “and be put in a position to rubber-stamp a bill that at this point is pretty much a mess.” Good point, eh?

Speaking of Permit Reform — The sacred scripture of permit reform is a dubious “study” conducted in 2000 by the Department of Economic Develop ment. The department hired the O ’Neal Group Inc., an out-of-state “brand-iden tity firm” that had earlier done surveys for the Department of Tourism and Marketing. The O ’Neal Report is regularly cited by Gov. Douglas as proof that businesses across Vermont are crying out for permit reform. Really? An examination of the O ’Neal Report indicates that interpretation is in the eye of the beholder. For example, it found a whopping 76 percent of manufacturers of food/apparel/wood products believe the state of Vermont is friendly to business! It also found that high-tech companies love it here and more than 80 percent of them hope to expand in Vermont! And all business sectors cited Ver mont’s quality of life, excellent workforce and “political access” as the three top advantages of doing business in the Green Mountains. In fact, almost two-thirds of hightech businesses say the state is already business-friendly. Rather than permit reform, their top concern is rapidly esca lating health-care costs, an issue the Douglas administration has no plan to address. The O ’Neal Report’s political spin was developed by a carefully selected 20member “working group.” In addition to six state tourism and economic develop ment officials, there were three members of Paul Kaza Associates, a South Bur lington advertising/marketing agency, John O'Kane of IBM, John Kimball of Vermont Gas, and Wayne Roberts of the Lake Champlain Chamber of Commerce. Also on the distinguished panel was Jack McMullen, the Massachusetts mil lionaire who moved to Vermont six years ago to challenge U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy. Is it any wonder all they saw in the data was negativity? For them the glass is always half empty, not half full. A closer look at the over-hyped O ’Neal Report shows Vermont is not nearly as antibusiness as some politicians want you to think. Interesting, eh? IN S ID E T R A C K »

C u rs e s , F o ile d A g a in Joseph Leroy Crouch Jr., 60, managed to elude police for two years after being accused of mur dering his wife in Memphis, Tennessee, but was arrested when he was recognized from television’s “America’s Most Wanted.” After the show mentioned that Crouch liked performing at karaoke bars, Memphis police received dozens of reports from people in Florida, Mississippi and New Orleans who spotted Crouch at karaoke sessions, which he appeared at and organized. The tip that led to his arrest came from a woman in Daytona Beach Shores, Florida, who said that she and her husband met Crouch at a karaoke event, then dined with him at his condo.

O p p o r t u n i t y K n o c k s John Haaga, a Cleveland radiology professor, designed a necktie for men and scarf for women that he said protect against the deadly severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) virus. Haaga, who got the idea from see ing a man on television covering his face with a tie after the Sept. 1 1 , 2001, attack on the World Trade Center, explained that his $40 neckwear has silk on the outside and a special filter inside that provides similar protection to the face mask known as an N95 respirator. Haaga added that he plans to introduce new designs and move manufacturing to the United States from China’s Guangdong province, which also happens to be the

UPLAND SWEET R e a l i t y TV When Dan Rather inter viewed Saddam Hussein for “60 Minutes Two,” CBS translated Hussein’s words ' into English, then hired actor Steve Winfield to speak them in a fake Arabic accent. CBS representative Sandra Genelius insisted that Winfield’s voice was “compatible with the piece.” • Officials in Oklahoma City pulled the plug on a city-run television station that tried to discourage prostitution by airing mug shots of women arrested for solicita tion and their customers. City spokes woman Marsha Ingersoll explained that the scrolling mug shots of streetwalkers actually helped potential customers iden tify prostitutes. “It was almost a promo tional thing for them,” she said. “It was n’t a deterrent at all.”

center of the SARS outbreak. • Many Asians have responded to the SARS outbreak by donning designer face masks, which come in a variety of colors, styles and rip-off brand names, including Nike, Burberry, Gucci and Louis Vuitton. “The masks, decorated or not, are becoming a fashion statement,” Hong Kong’s Karen Teoh told the Washington Times. “In fashion-conscious Hong Kong, the unmasked few are often recipi ents of disdainful, disapproving and stinging looks. I wouldn’t be surprised if some people actually feel undressed with out the mask.” H o m e la n d I n s e c u r i t y Federal authorities arrested Russell Lee Ebersole, 43, after his Stephenson, Virginia, com pany was paid more than $700,000 to

provide bomb-detection dogs to govern ment agencies in Washington, D.C., Fresno, California and New York City. Prosecutors charged Ebersole with 26 counts of fraud because the dogs failed to sniff out explosives during tests, includ ing one where 50 tons of TNT, 50 pounds of dynamite and 15 pounds of the powerful explosive C-4 were hidden in three vehicles at a Federal Reserve parking facility. • Arguing that federal officials were showing more concern for cartoon char acters than for Chicago residents, Mayor Richard M. Daley denounced the deci sion to leave Chicago off the list of cities with restricted airspace as the Homeland Security Department moved to protect New York, Washington and Disney amusement parks in California and Florida. Then Daley dispatched bulldoz ers in the middle of the night to tear up the runway at Meigs Field, an airport in the center of the city, later explaining that he acted to prevent a terrorist attack because the airport is “a second’s flight time” from downtown skyscrapers. Critics accused the mayor of playing on people’s fears to pursue his long-stated aim of turning the airport, which runs along the Lake Michigan waterfront, into a public park. F a t P a n ts Japan’s Fuji Spinning Co. has introduced pants that it claims can make people slimmer. WonderSlim sports pants, boxer shorts and girdles are impregnated with seaweed extract and caffeine. The company said that the mix ture is massaged into the skin by the wearer’s movements, then interacts with

the natural chemicals in the wearer’s sweat to melt fat from the hips and but tocks. F o llie s o f P a c if is m Following President Bush’s televised ultimatum to Saddam Hussein, Jody Mason decided to protest Bush’s foreign and domestic poli cies by padlocking himself to a U.S. Department of Energy office in Olympia, Washington. Eighteen hours later, he was informed that he had he mistakenly chained himself to the Washington State Grange building. The Grange is a non profit advocacy group for rural residents. Mason told police that he forgot to bring a key, so they used heavy-duty bolt cut ters to free him, then let him go. The next day, he chained himself to an office building used by a few federal agencies, including the FBI, and was arrested. P r o b le m s o f D e m o c ra c y When India’s Finance Minister Jaswant Singh proposed raising the price of fertilizer, law makers in Parliament’s lower house pro tested by shouting nonstop for four hours. Singh finally withdrew the proposal. • Xochilt Ruvalcaba, 30, ended her tenure as mayor of South Gate, Cali fornia, by hitting Councilman Henry Gonzalez, 67, across the side of his head with a purse, then punching him in the face. The incident occurred after she lost a recall election and tried to bar a resi dent from speaking at a meeting. Gon zalez intervened, and the two struggled. “She’s a good-sized woman,” said Gonzalez, a former mayor who walks with a cane since being shot in the head in 1999. “She can throw a punch.”

ow many people want to stand outside Memorial Auditorium Monday night and picket?” Virtually every hand in the room shoots up. No, the Burlington Profes sional Womens Network is not up in arms about American imperialism in the Middle East. They’re riled up about the sexualized violence of World Wrestling Entertainment, the highest-rated cable program in America three nights a week. “We rarely get to be rabble-rousers,” says Wendy Huff o f Williston, a franchise area manager for the UPS Store and a mother o f two. “But after we saw this video, we were ready to rent a bus.” Turns out they won’t have to go anywhere: W W E’s road show rolls into Burlington on Monday. The video she’s referring to is Wrestling with Manhood: Boys, Bullying and Battering, a documentary produced by the Media Education Foundation that shows the W W E to be an unapologetic promoter of male aggression, misogyny and homophobia. The men are trash-talk ing hulks, the women silicone-enhanced victims. There’s not a single Xena Warrior in the ring. Long gone are the days when Killer Kowalski and Gorgeous George went skin-to-skin. Professional wrestling today is nothing more than a strip show for Neanderthals, complete with hair drag ging, girl-hurling and chest-beating. It’s all fake, o f course — “a soap opera for guys” is the general consensus among young male fans interviewed for the film. The drama, in this case, consists o f mus cle-bound meatheads pummeling scantily clad female playthings, or degrading them by ramming their heads down toilets, covering them with vomit or ordering them to strip. In one segment, the CEO o f WWE, who is a “character” in. the drama, forces a woman to get down on her hands and knees — in a thong — and bark like a dog. In another, a guy beats a woman unconscious and then proceeds to alternately kiss and thrash her while a pair o f manic announcers keeps the audience apprised of the “plot.” “She’s liking it, folks,” they note enthusiastically. “She’s not even aware o f what’s going n on. The BPWN sure is, now that its mem bers have seen the footage. “This is not just sex, it’s humiliation,” says Peg Allen, owner of Appearances. Like her fellow protesters, all but one of whom are female, she’s concerned that this brand of “entertainment” normalizes, justifies and rationalizes men’s violence toward women. O r boys against girls. “Kids can’t go to a strip club, but they can go to this.” She adds, “We’re not saying they don’t have a right to bring their show * here. We’re saying we don’t think it’s good for children.” They hope to spread the word among parents and other concerned citizens through two screenings of the video this week: one on Friday at 7 p.m. in the College Street Congregational Church and the other after the protest Monday, in Burlington City Hall Auditorium at 8 p.m.

The ladies decide against slamming the W W E directly on their protest plac ards. They also shoot down “W hat Women Endure,” “Beating Women is Not Entertainment” and “Bullying on the Television Leads to Bullying on the Playground.” “We want to be proactive,” suggests financial planner Marcia Merrill. For a while it looks as if every one agrees on “Just Say No to Sexual Violence.” One of the women calls over to Russ Martens, boyfriend of 29-yearold BPWN President Andrea Derby, “Give us your perspective on this as a man.” He responds, somewhat embar rassed, “Uh, I don’t watch that crap.” Now there’s a solution.

meets Hitchcock’s The Trouble with Harry. That’s how the Valley News describes Nosey Parker, Tunbridge film maker John O'Brien’s new movie about a couple of wealthy flatlanders who move to Vermont from downcountry. The film had its Vermont premiere in March at the Green Mountain Film Festival and has since moved from the Savoy Theater to Montpelier’s Capital Theater. Last Friday it drew 700 people to the Hopkins Center. Nosey opens this weekend at movie houses in Randolph and Hanover, New Hampshire. The Welden Theater in St. Albans hosts two shows — 4 p.m. on Friday and Saturday — during the Maple Festival. A run at Waitsfield’s Eclipse is on the horizon. The big question is when the farmer-friendly flick will open in Burlington. And where? We’re guessing at a reopened institution in Burlington. “It’s not the Nick anymore,” says Billy Jarvis, whose father Merrill plans to have the Queen City’s sole downtown cinema up and running by the end of May. “We’re having it all redone — new carpets, new concessions, new equipment. It’s the all-new Merrill theater.” . . . The Call o f the Wild, Watership Down, The Secret Garden. Notwithstanding the works of Katherine Paterson, most of the tales told on “Camel’s Hump Radio” originate outside Vermont. But all three stories on Sunday’s show are homegrown, based on true accounts collected by the Vermont Folklife Center. Johnson chil dren’s book author William Jaspersohn narrates The Two Brothers, about siblings separated in Prussia who end up on neighboring farms in the Mad River Valley. Vermont Public Radio commenta tor Willem Lange reads from his book, John and Tom — not to be confused with Steve Goldberg’s death-row play, Don and Tom. And retired Middlebury prof Horace Beck, who gives Lange some serious competition in the raspy voice department, animates The Scrimshaw Ring, a story from his boyhood about a young boy’s hair-raising encounter with a band of pirates. Making waves, indeed. (Z)

THE PUZZLE

• As you can guess from her name, Fickle Fannie is hard to pre dict. Her preferences change from one week to the next. This week, as always, the things she likes (shown in CAPITAL letters) allfollow a secret rule. Can you figure out what it is? (Note: Fickle Fannie likes words. But each week she likes something different about them— how they’re spelled, how they sound, how they look, what they mean, or what’s inside them.) GEORGE ORWELL was hitchhiking in Italy, on the outskirts of Florence. He was picked up by A M IR I BARAKA, who shouted at him for being Caucasian. George's next ride was in a Ford driven by FORD MADOX FORD. Out the window they saw DR. SEUSS riding a unicycle and waving madly. When he got to Florence, George met ELLERY QUEEN for a rum and tonic. At the table next to them sat JAMES HERRIOT petting an African gray parrot. The parrot was trading insults with ROSS MACDONALD, who was bussing tables. The restaurant, called "The Horror," was owned by JOSEPH CONRAD. For dessert the diners had to choose between a gumdrop and an 0. HENRY bar. The entire episode was described in detail by MARK TWAIN in the story "B y George."

T h e r a p y ? t was slow for a Saturday night. The war, it seemed, had dampened everyone’s spirits. Life went on, but no one had been feeling much like making merry come the weekend. The resurgent winter weather hadn’t helped much, either. The many restaurant workers and barkeeps I drive all reported the same story: Business was down. I had just cleared Drew Street on North when a man hailed me from the steps of the Olde Northender Pub. When I moved to Burlington in the late 70s, there were per haps a half-dozen bars along North Street. Now it’s down to this one and T. Rugg’s on the corner of Elmwood.

been a wreck for years. It seems that gun violence decimates the mind and body like nothing else. I flashed on all the war casual ties in Iraq, especially the children. “You got kids to take care of, right?” I con tinued. “You need to see a shrink, man.” “Oh, I’m seeing a shrink all right. Helluva lot of good that’s been.” Poorguy, I thought as we worked our way down Pine Street, passing the bus terminal and the Cheese Oudet and catching the red light at Lakeside Avenue. His life has ground to a halt as a result o f this traumatic event. He seemsfixated on it and can’t move on. I wished I could do something for him. Maybe the file-cabinet sculpture would cheer him up, if only for a minute. It seems to put a smile on the free of everyone who views it. “Hey, buddy,” I said, “have you ever seen the tower on Flynn Avenue that an artist constructed from a stack of about 10 file cabinets?” “Nope,” he replied without enthusiasm. “Well, check it out,” I said, swinging onto Flynn. “It’s just up here about 100 yards.” Just past Howard Mental Health, I pulled in perpendicular to the curb and shone my high beams on the improbable tower of cab inets in various colors. “Kinda reminds ya of the Washington Monument, don’t it?” I mused. “Great,” he said. “All this reminds me of is the fact that my dick has completely stopped performing right since the shooting. “Oh, man,” I said. “Talk about adding insult to injury...” “Just take me to the bar, will ya?” “Sorry, brother,” I replied, and turned back to Pine Street. “You know,” I added, always the helpful cabbie, “you can talk to the shrink about that problem, too.” My seatmate sfbwfy mrned and faced me with a look of utter incredulity, as if I had just suggested we teach a couple cats to play backgammon. He said, “What the hell is a shrink gonna tell me about my dick?” “Well, it can be a mental thing, man, and sometimes talkin’...” I stopped, as I could see that he was still staring at me like I was out of my gourd. “Never mind,” I conceded. “Let’s just get you up to Franny O’s.” “Yes, I agree fully,” he replied with a squeezed smile. “That would be the best thing.” His facetiousness was both humorous and deserved. It served as a much-needed reminder of my Second Rule of Living, which had inexplicably slipped my mind. The First Rule is, never, ever ask a woman when she is due unless she has told you herself she is pregnant. The Second Rule is, any man to whom you’re speaking is, to say the least, not interested in unsolicited “helpful hints” for coping with erectile dys function.®

My seatmate slowly turned and faced me with a look of utter incredulity, as if I had just suggested we teach a couple cats to play backgammon. I pulled into the driveway adjacent to the Pub and the man climbed in next to me. He was short, with an egg-shaped head and neat ly trimmed goatee. His pale face, I could tell, was tailor-made for beard maintenance — there was no demarcation from cheek to chin to neck, just one continuous ovoid surface. Oddly enough, other than his head he wasn’t particularly hefty. “This place is spent,” he remarked as he setded into his seat. “How about Franny O ’s?” “Sounds all right to me,” I said, and we backed out and turned towards the South End. We hadn’t gone a block when the man asked, “D ’ya remember the house break-in and shooting that made the TV and the paper?” “Uh, yeah,” I replied, taken slighdy aback by the seemingly random question as a con versation opener. “About a year ago? Guy gpt shot in the chest in his Burlington apartment in front of his family?” “That’s the one.” “Why do you ask? D ’ya know the guy?” “I ’m the guy.” “Jeez, that’s intense,” I said, the incident coming back to me, something about a drug deal gone awry. I remembered my customer being interviewed by a television reporter and claiming that he had no prior relation ship with the intruders — “I never saw them before in my life.” I got the impression the police never entirely bought the story, though this guy — the shooting victim — did not seem like a criminal mastermind, whatever his involvement or lack thereof. “So, how ya doin’ at this point?” I asked, “like crap,”he replied. “I’m scared all the time that it’s gonna happen again. I can’t ever fall asleep without some heavy boozing.” “Well, that’s not good,” I said. “You must have what they call post-traumatic stress.” I thought of my friend in North Carolina who was wounded in the Vietnam War.

ALL WORTHWHILE HUMAN KNOWLEDGE

I know you probably don’t know yet, and aren’t too keen on finding out (I quote, “Just don’t ask me to explain ‘Stairway to Heaven”), butjust what is the song “Stairway to Heaven”about? My two favorite songs are “Hotel California”and “Stairway to Heaven. ”You explained HC very well, but S2H remains a mystery. Help! Charlie Kininmonth Sussex, England I’ve been putting this off for 30 years. Time to bite the bullet. But first you must understand that rock lyrics, like the quantum mechanical universe, are subject to a sort of Heisenberg uncertainty principle — that is, we can’t truly know the truth but merely glimpse it, as through a glass darkly, etc. (And no, I’m not reprinting the words to “Stairway to Heaven” — anybody who can’t remember them after more than three decades of steady airplay probably can’t read anyway.) With that caveat out of the way, some theories about the song: (1) It doesn’t mean anythingdThe song was written in 1971, which culturally was pretty much still the ’60s, and you know what that means. According to band lore, Robert Plant composed most of the lyrics in a single day during sessions at Headley Grange, a former poorhouse in Hampshire, England, then being used by rock groups as a rehearsal space and studio. To give you a feel for Plant’s range as a writer, here’s an excerpt from “Black Dog,” which appeared on the same side of Led Zeppelin’s untitled fourth album as “Stairway”: “Hey, hey, baby, when you walk that way, watch your honey drip, can’t keep away./Ah yeah, ah yeah, ah, ah, ah. Ah yeah, ah yeah, ah, ah, ah.” In sum, we’ve got the well-known psychosociochemi cal influences of the era, we’ve got an extremely com pressed compositional time frame, and we’ve got a poeti cal sensibility that, to be objective about it (and believe me, I like “Stairway to Heaven”), probably rates between

2 and 3 millishakespeares. So I think it’s safe to say that what we’re hearing aren’t so much lyrics as the unmediat ed pulsations of the reptile brain. (2) It means something really deep. Browsing on the Web, I find the following commentary, allegedly extract ed from a 1991 Esquire article and attributed to Robert Walser, professor of musicology at UCLA and author of the 1993 book Running With the Devil: Power, Gender, and Madness in Heavy Metal Music. “Musically, ‘Stairway {uses powerful ‘authenticities’ — which are really ideolo gies... We find a set of concepts (that pretty much sum up the central concerns of all philosophy): signs, words, meanings, thoughts, feelings, spirit, reason, wonder, soul, the idea that ‘all are one and one is all.’ “We find a set of vaguely but powerfully evocative symbols: gold, the West, the tune, white light, shadows, paths, a road and the stairway to heaven itself. At the very end, we find some paradoxical self-referentiality: ‘To be a rock and not to roll.’ The words... are resonant, requiring no rigorous study in order to become meaning ful. Like the music, they engage with the fantasies and anxieties of our time; they offer contact with social and metaphysical depth in a world of commodities and mass communication. ‘Stairway to Heaven,’ no less than can onized artistic postmodernism, addresses ‘decentered subjects’ who are striving to find credible experiences of depth and community.” Translation: I have no frickin’ clue. (3) It means whatever you want it to mean. Continuing our peregrinations on the Internet (OK, so I’m not exactly busting my hump this week, but honest ly, can you think of a better place to research this?), we find the following theories: • The lyrics recall the bumbling efforts of one Erma Rees-Gwynn, a divorcee and aspiring contractor, to build a three-story deck — with a stairway leading up from the garden — at the rear of a castle that guitarist Jimmy Pag? owned in Wales. Presumably meant satirically, but one never knows. • When played in reverse the lyrics are a paean to Satan. Que stupido, you say. Compared to what? • It’s about drugs. Just like every other rock song. • Plant had this bimbo girlfriend, see, and she took his Visa card and went to the mall, and got the idea of buying the escalators. Another satire. Unfortunately, that’s about as funny as it gets. • “A bustle in your hedgerow” refers to menstruation, and when taken in conjunction with the reference to “the May Queen” signifies a woman’s coming of age. Plant has denied this, but he’s obviously unfamiliar with semiotics. Have a seat, Bob. We know what you wrote. Now let us explain what you meant. - C E C IL A D A M S

Pants On Fire? — Word from Hospital Hill this week is that the chairman of Fletcher Allen Health Cares board of trustees, Louise McCarren, remains at the helm. This despite the fact that she was caught last week violating one of the most important tenets of the Mary Fanny’s “Statement of Values.” In its Mission Statement, FAHC boldly declares: “We communicate openly and hon estly with the community we serve.” For many Vermonters that statement rings hollow this week. In fact, it’s laughable. Everybody knows that hospi tal management repeatedly lied to state officials about the true cost of the massive Renaissance Project. Everybody knows that Congressman Bernie Sanders and Gov. Jim Douglas demand ed the tarnished trustees step down. Everybody knows that all the sitting trustees left over from the Renaissance Scam did resign in disgrace two months ago. All but McCarren and the dean of the College of Medicine, that is. And everybody who read Seven Days last week knows that Ms. McCarren brazenly lied when asked why one of the newly nominated “clean” trus tees had mysteriously with drawn his nomination at the 1 1 th hour. McCarren said Chittenden bank CEO Paul Perrault made a “personal decision” to withdraw his nomination to the FAHC board. Asked why, she told Seven Days she “concluded” Perrault did so because he real ized it was “in the best inter ests” of the hospital and the bank. Not true. Perrault told us he withdrew his nomination because Mc Carren personally called him and asked him to withdraw. It was a sad moment, a “liar, liar, pants on fire” moment, and McCarren’s pants were smok ing. And the flames ignited the hospital’s policy to “communi cate openly and honestly with the community we serve.” The truth is, hospital watch dogs like Rep. Anne Donahue and State Auditor Elizabeth Ready, among others, had raised questions about the apparent conflict of interest raised by Perrault’s appointment. They noted the Chittenden Bank, Vermont’s largest, is the Master Trustee of the $150 mil lion Renaissance bond issue. In fact, according to hospital offi cials, the Chittenden has been the Master Trustee on all Fletcher Allen bond issues since 1983. And since 1983, they said, the Master Trustee con tract on hospital bond issues has never been put out to bid. Rep. Donahue also pointed out former FAHC Chairman Philip Drumheller, president of the Lane Press, has a seat on the Chittenden Bank board of trustees and has the exact same conflict-of-interest problem.

Mr. Drumheller left the FAHC board in December when his term expired. While he publicly accepted full responsibility for what appears to be the largest financial scan dal in Vermont history, Drum heller held onto his chairman ship until the bitter end. Clearly the powers that be on Hospital Hill never consid ered Drumheller’s Chittenden Bank conflict-of-interest a prob lem. But Mr. Perrault’s suddenly is. In fact, Fletcher Allen con siders Perrault’s conflict serious enough to disqualify him from sitting on the hospital board. Interesting, eh? It gets worse. You’d think by now McCar ren & Co. would get it. You’d think they would realize that the sleazy and deceitful schem ing to build a $356 million Taj Mahal on Hospital Hill had cost Fletcher Allen the trust of the community it serves. You’d think they’d accept the fact that Drumheller’s board flunked Trustees 101. If they didn’t know hospital manage ment was lying to state regula tors about the true cost of the Taj Mahal, they damn well should have. Instead, last Tuesday evening, Fletcher Allen feted its tarnished trustees with a gala farewell reception at Vermont National Golf Club. “Food and drinks were served,” according to

McClellan. Both new and old trustees attended. The hospital spent $1950 for the event, she said. Asked what FAHC was thanking its tarnished trustees for, McClellan replied, “their years of service.” Good grief. Wouldn’t McDonald’s have been more appropriate for that? P.S. As Seven Days goes to press Tuesday, another contro versy has erupted on Hospital Hill. O n Friday, FAHC sum marily fired an R.N. who is a member of the nurses’ union bargaining committee. Marley Skiff (wife of former Champ lain College President Bob Skiff) was recently nominated to the hospital board by Rep. Bernie Sanders and the union. The powers that be ignored her nomination. According to the nurses, Skiff was fired for unspecified “union activities.” FAHC’s McClellan declined to comment, saying it was a personnel matter and therefore confidential. In response, the nurses’ union plans a candlelight vigil Thursday evening outside Interim CEO Ed Colodny’s condominium complex at the foot of College Street. Stay tuned.

Deanwatch 2004 — Just when you thought George W. Bush and his right-wing extremist friends were enjoying smooth sailing, one of the cho sen ones opens his big mouth and says what he really feels.

SEVEN DAYS I april 23-30, 2003 | in s id e t r a c k 17A

This time its Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, chairman of the Republican Conference in the U.S. Senate. Sen. Rick was being interviewed Monday by the Associated Press about a pending Supreme Court case that questions the constitu tionality of the sodomy law in the great state of Texas. Two gay men were arrested and charged with having consensual sex in their own home. Shocking! "If the Supreme Court says that you have the right to con sensual [gay] sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery. You have the right to anything," Santorum told A.P. But Sen. Santorum, a rising Republican star, didn’t stop with homosexuality. He lumped it in with “feminism” and “liberal♦ » ism. "All of those things are anti thetical to a healthy, stable, tra ditional family," Santorum said. Don’t you just love it when conservative Republicans say what they really feel? O ur favorite presidential hopeful was quick to issue a statement expressing his out rage. Said Howard Dean on Tuesday: “That a leader of the Republican *Nury would make such insensitive and divisive comments — comments that are derogatory and meant to harm an entire group o f Americans, their friends and their families — is not only out rageous but deeply offensive. “The silence with which President Bush and the Republican Party leadership have greeted Sen. Santorum’s ' remarks is deafening. It is the same silence that greeted Senator Trent Lott’s offensive remarks in December... Silence is an unacceptable response. By standing up against such divi sive rhetoric —whether one is gay, lesbian, bisexual, or straight —we can begin to achieve the American ideal o f equal rights for all people.” Ho-Ho was just as straight forward in the op-ed piece he wrote last week for Common Dreams — www.common dreams.org — a popular Web Site that posts “News and Views for the Progressive Com m un ity.” Dean made his opposition to what Dubya’s done in Iraq perfectly clear. O ur favorite line: “The next president will need to undo the work of this band of radicals currently con trolling our foreign policy — who view the Middle East as a laboratory for their experiments in democracy-building, where no such traditions exist.” “Band of radicals,” eh? Cool. (7)

R E S N IK Curious New England: The Unconventional Traveler's Guide to Eccentric Destinations, b y J o s e p h A. C itro a n d D iane E. Foulds. U n iv e rs ity P ress o f New E n g lan d , 3 3 4 p a g e s. $ 1 9 .9 5 .

hile doing.library research on a description in the New Testament of St. John surviving on “locusts and honey” in the desert, I stumbled on a well-worn reference work called The Book o f Miracles. Even more spectacu lar than the descriptions of marvelous wonders — the tyrant Theodoric being lectured about his evil deeds by a cooked fish head he had been served for dinner, for instance — is the index: Miracles are classified In categories like “food multiplied,” “resurrection of the dead” and “passing through fire unscathed.” The collected miracles are magnified by their proximity to a litany of spookily similar wonders. Vermont folklorist Joe Citro and journalist Diane Foulds have created their own book of miracles. Curious New England is a tour guide, a refer ence book and a pleasure read. The authors have traipsed all over the region compiling points of interest far beyond the scope covered by normal travel guides. The resulting collection of “eccentric destinations” is organized by state and covers everything from odd geology (the petrified coral reef at Isle LaMotte, VT) and megalomania (“Lord” Timothy Dexter’s shenanigans in Newburyport, Mass., and Chester, N.H.) to bottomless kitsch (a museum of umbrella covers in Peaks Island, ME). How many people in New England remember — or ever knew — that during World War II camps for captured German prisoners-of-war were set up in the wilds of northern Maine and New Hampshire? This is where you can find out about it all. We used an old librarians’ trick for evaluating reference resources and looked up items with which we were already familiar to check the accuracy of the descriptions. The greater Burlington area is well represented, with nine entries. These examples will give you some idea of what the authors were attracted to when creating Curious New England: 1. The granite marker on Perkins Pier dedicated to Champ. The entry includes a short history of Champ sightings, and some helpful hints on where you might look in case you are interested in spotting the monster yourself; 2. The flying monkeys that were

originally made for the Emerald City of Oz waterbed store (the entry doesn’t include this bit of trivia) and now perch on top of Union Station in Burlington; 3. The rhinoceros head that appears to be smashing through the second floor of the building housing Conant Custom Brass on Pine Street; 4. The whale tails originally on disnear the Randolph exit of the

ming hole as a “Killer Gorge” may seem a bit over the top, but when you think about it, the statistics do tell the tale. No mention of the cool rock for mations. Each short entry — there are more than 250 in all — includes handy instructions on how to find the place or thing, a schedule of hours of opera tion, any admission charges and some invaluable tips to help the reader safely

How m any people in N ew England rem em b er that during World W ar II cam p s for captured G erm an prisoners-of-w ar w ere set up in the wilds of northern M aine and N ew H am pshire? Interstate and now relocated to South Burlington, complete with an interest ing side fact about an Essex Junction couple who offer Lake Champlain “whale watching” tours because so many out-of-staters have requested them from the state tourist office; 5. A fossilized beluga whale skeleton discovered in Charlotte in 1849 dis played at the Perkins Museum of Geology at UVM; 6. The Brautigan Library, a reposi tory of unpublished books conceived by local businessman Todd Lockwood in the 1990s and now at the Fletcher Free Library; 7. The Museum of Kitsch Art locat ed in Williams Hall at UVM; 8. Another UVM possession: a 373page journal kept by 19th-century Vermont physician Henry Janes describing the most “interesting” med ical cases — with photographs — that he encountered while treating Union soldiers injured at Gettysburg; and 9. Huntington Gorge, included because of the 18 drownings that have occurred there since 1950. The description of this popular local swim

afid successfully find the spot. These include: handicap accessibility; whether the spot is a private or a sacred site; the local rattlesnake popu lation; and — as in the case of the Gungywamp Bronze Age ruins in Groton, Conn. — whether it’s neces sary to write the owners at least a month in advance to schedule a visit. Good to know; you don’t want to drive 175 miles only to discover that the gates are locked on Tuesdays. Curious New England provides a valuable catalog of many wacky, inter esting places and things that may not still exist 100 years from now. They all deserve to be remembered. Although the book already has a fine subject index, for the next printing I would suggest a “category” index as well. This would allow fans of, say, stone mega liths or tacky advertising or Native American sites to zero in on their own specialties and make the book even more fun. As it is, Curious New England makes me want to jump into the car right now and embark on a long, strange road trip guided by Citro and Foulds. (Z)

Two for the K, let me just state first off that it feels a little wrong to praise a play that por trays psychotic killers as lovable cra zies. But praise I must. Stephen Goldberg’s Don and Tom, half of a double bill that just closed at City Hall following an earlier run at 135 Pearl, is laugh-out-loud funny and often startling in its brazenness — especially when compared to the other play, Goldbergs Hollywood. It’s highly unlikely that two homi cidal maniacs — Don (Aaron Masi), who raped and murdered a little girl, and Tom (Paul J. Soychak), who killed his parents — would wind up as death-row roomies. But writer-direc tor Goldberg leaves no doubt from the start that we are in an absurd universe. If the killers are crazy, so are the overthe-top authority figures who lord it over them, including a cowboy-hatwearing priest and Tom’s abusive father — both played with gusto by the versatile John D. Alexander. Masi and Soychak are a cockeyed comic duo, a demented Mutt and Jeff in orange prison jumpsuits. With his dazed glare and bursts of chipmunkish energy, Soychak suggests a wilder

Wally Cox. Masi is disarmingly funny whether complimenting his fellow murderer (“You look like a suffocation guy to me”) or spinning loony fan tasies of piloting a private airline where Hillary Clinton does in-flight lap dances for the crew. When the two finally receive their simultaneous lethal injections, it puts a whole new spin on good chemistry. Does this speedy romp through patricide, rape, religion and capital punishment mean to suggest that our system of treating the criminally insane is itself a form of insanity? Maybe, but you don’t have to get the message to enjoy the flight. Hollywood, on the other hand, winds up getting grounded by the very cliches it mocks. This is ironic, because other than a pair of aggres sively vapid TV entertainment-news hosts, the characters in Hollywood seem meant to be more “realistic” than those in Don and Tom, albeit real fig ures operating amidst the unrealities of the movie industry. But if we accept the premise, we start to wonder about the particulars. If a character’s supposed to be a once-

SOYCHAK famous actress, not to mention the wife of Hollywood’s most successful movie mogul, how is it that just any schlub can interrupt her lunch and thrust a screenplay at her? The schlub turns out to be a two-faced operator, so how is it he’s such a babe-in-thewoods when it comes to rewrites and dealmaking? And are we really sup posed to believe the mogul when he tells his wife he got Arthur Miller to write a screenplay for her? Headscratchers like these keep interrupting

our willingness to buy the plot’s some times entertaining twists and turns. If we do buy anything in Holly wood, it’s because of the actors, in par ticular Dennis McSorley as an unapologetic asshole of a producer. The play’s most enjoyable scenes are those between McSorley and Peter Freyne as the private detective he hires to spy on his wife and the screen writer. Not that these scenes are par ticularly credible, either, but for a while there’s the pleasure of watching

actors rifling off one another and rev eling in the playwrights skill at off-kil ter conversation — a skill seen to much better effect in Don and Tom.

Gordon Porterfield's Snow, which received its world premiere this month at Lost Nation Theater, is a sweet, gentle piece of writing — as gentle, you might say, as a snowfall. But at times it also seems as long as the win ter we’ve just endured. The basic premise is this: Claire, a prim but perky young Baltimore librarian, has invited herself up one snowy evening to the apartment of Stephen, a shy library patron she’s been eyeing for weeks. Before long we discover that she’s a former nun and he has a painful secret that’s kept him in and out of mental institutions. Eventually we learn why she left the convent, and why he has attempted suicide. They do a lot of talking over two acts to reach an outcome that seems predetermined before the first act is over: Girl wants boy, girl will get boy, boy will feel better. That said, much of the talk is engrossing, thanks to the playwright and the performers, and to the sensi tive direction of Kim Bent, Lost Nation’s co-producing artistic director.

Porterfield gets just right the precise vocabulary and sprightly humor of the formerly cloistered convent girl. Courtney Bell, as Claire, carries off her ornate elocutions with ease. She’s physically adept, too, springing into action with an inventive recreation of the Battle of Orleans (starring one of Claire’s favorite saints, Joan of Arc). As Stephen, Jon L. Egging — in an

Sometimes, though, Snow walks a tightrope of a different kind, threaten ing to topple over into the land of cutesy-poo. My inner cynic kept send ing up alerts: Oh, no, she’s not going to give him a teddy bear! Oh, no, she’s not going to ask him to snuggle! But then self-aware Claire cuts through the cutesiness with a barb. “A victim of excessive devotion,” she calls the bear.

one potentially touching moment, Claire recalls how hungry she was for physical warmth after her father died, and how that hunger led her to reach out to a fellow novitiate. We want her to reveal more, but Bell, and Porter field, only let us in so far. Even though Claire says she’s scared, we agree with Stephen when he replies, “You don’t seem to be.”

Does this speedy romp through patricide, rape, religion and capital punishment m ean to suggest that our system of treating the criminally insane is itself a form of insanity? exquisitely calibrated performance — speaks in a style that’s both halting and exact, as if he’s walking a conver sational tightrope where saying the wrong word could send him toppling into the abyss. One speech in particu lar, where he relives a horrific child hood memory, is written and acted with breathtaking attention to detail. At times there is no talk at all — such as when the couple makes its first tender, tentative attempts at a kiss — and these are perhaps the most elo quent of all.

Claire’s also onto herself when it comes to talking too much. “I’m a verbal Niagara Falls,” she says, and you forgive her. It’s not as easy to for give in the second act, when she apol ogizes again. But there’s a deeper problem here. It’s not just that Claire talks too much; it’s that we don’t see what’s driving the talk. Bell is an appealing actress, but as we learn more about her character’s life and see just how obsessed she has become with this stranger, a more dis turbing need seems to be at work. In

Stephen, on the other hand, does n’t think he’ll ever not be scared. And Claire is so blithely confident that the play seems imbalanced. Rather than two walking wounded reaching out to heal one another, we see a latter-day saint taking a lost boy under her wing. And by gosh, by the end of the play — after they’ve had sex — he tells her he’s not scared anymore. Somehow, I can’t believe that even a saint could turn around a lifetime of fear in just one night. That’s the stuff of miracle plays. (?)

V e rm o n t College, M o n tp elier, A p ril 2 7 , 4 p .m .

n March 27, 2002, a Palestinian militant walked into a public Passover seder in the Israeli seaside town of Netanya with 22 pounds of explosives strapped to his body. In an instant, he killed 29 people and injured more than 100 others. It was the deadliest bombing since the Palestinian uprising began in September 2000. To most Israelis, this vicious attack was just one more reason for Israel to keep its troops stationed in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. But to Stav Adivi, a Reserve Major in the Israel Defense Forces who is visiting Vermont this week, it was a tragic reminder of why his country needs to withdraw from the Palestinian territories — and why he refuses to serve there any more. This year, as Jews everywhere celebrat ed Passover, the holiday marking their lib eration from slavery and their return to the Promised Land, Adivi has been living in a self-imposed exile. For the last six months he’s been in North Carolina with his wife, a computer expert beginning a three-year work assignment in the United States. But Adivi’s exile status isn’t just geographic. His actions have also made him an outsider in Israeli mainstream soci ety. Adivi is the highest-ranking military officer to refuse to serve in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, the territories occupied by Israel during the 1967 war. In February 2002, Adivi joined hundreds of other reservists and active soldiers who signed a public declaration stating their unwilling ness to “continue to fight beyond the 1967 borders in order to dominate, expel, starve and humiliate an entire people.” In the last year, 1095 other Israeli soldiers have signed their names to this “Com batants’ Letter.” Like the other members of Ometz LeSarev (“The Courage to Refuse”), Adivi has risked his military and civilian careers, ostracism from family and friends, and prison time to oppose an occupation he believes is illegal, immoral and unjust. He argues that, far from promoting Israel’s safety and well-being, the oppression of Palestinians within their own territories actually weakens Israel’s security and fuels the ongoing spiral of hatred and violence against innocent civilians on both sides. For the last six months Adivi has been traveling the United States in an effort to convince Americans — particularly American Jews — that the best way to promote peace in the Middle East is by getting Israel out of the Occupied Territories. This week Adivi brings his message to Burlington and Montpelier. Adivi is by no means anti-Israel. He firmly believes in the principles of Zion ism and the right of the State of Israel to exist and to defend itself from its enemies. “I want always to contribute my share to the army, to the country,” he says in a thick Israeli accent during a phone inter view with Seven Days. “But after the year of the Intifada when the Camp David talks collapsed, we didn’t know what to think, all the peace lovers in Israel.”

Even in Israel’s ubiquitous military cul ture, no one could brand Adivi a coward or a draft dodger. The 46-year-old deco rated officer enlisted in the army when he was 18. At 20, he enrolled in Israel’s equivalent of West Point. For 12 years he served as a communications officer in a tank brigade, including six months on the Lebanese border and eight months in the Sinai Desert. During his 24 years as an army reservist, he’s been to both the Gaza Strip and the West Bank several times. But when Adivi received a phone call last year ordering him to relocate his sol diers to a military checkpoint in the Jordan Valley, he said no. His refusal was greeted with a “Don’t ask, don’t tell” response. “She said, ‘The line is not very good. I cannot hear you. I understand that you are ill and cannot come,”’ Adivi recalls. “She did not want to mess with » me. Adivi was lucky. Not all Israeli military commanders turn a blind eye to such insubordination. At least 200 soldiers have been imprisoned for refusing to serve in the Occupied Territories. Currently, 1 1 are serving jail time — five reservists and six active soldiers. Still, the military has been very reluctant to court-martial reservists, especially officers, preferring instead the more subtle coercion of a disciplinary pro cedure. The reason? During a court-mar tial, a soldier is represented by an attorney who might try to argue that the occupa tion is illegal, that the treatment of Palestinian civilians violates the military’s code of ethics and international law, and so on. Moreover, a court-martial is open to the press, while a disciplinary hearing is not. But Adivi’s refusal was not without consequences. At the time, he was the head of the business and industry school at Afula North College, a position from which he has since resigned. “My employ er was a friend of Likud [Israel’s ruling conservative party] so I kept it a secret. I never discussed this,” he says. “And I hoped he would never see the Web site or the ads in the newspapers because I didn’t want my workplace to know. It was not easy for me.” Nor did Adivi discuss his refusal with his fellow officers. Israeli law, which allows conscientious objection for women, makes no similar accommodation for men. Male conscientious objectors are often subjected to humiliation and vindictive behavior, even forced to choose between prison time and a consultation with a mental-health officer. By and large, Adivi s family has sup ported his decision, though he had a falling out with an uncle who helped raise him. “The general sentiment in Israel was very much against us,” Adivi recalls. “We were accused of being traitors. Further more, we were traitors at a time of war.” One prominent Israeli rabbi even suggest ed that all the refuseniks be court-mar tialed and sentenced to the death penalty. “The important thing was, we made a lot of noise,” says Adivi. “We got a lot of

media, both for us and against us. Most of it against us.” It’s important to understand why the Combatants’ Letter was so incendiary. At the time, Israelis were suffering through the “year of shock,” when suicide bomb ings were occurring at unprecedented lev els. Just weeks after the letter was pub lished, the Passover bombing in Netanya occurred. Israel’s peace movement, which had once been able to draw tens of thou sands of protestors into the streets, had all but disappeared into the shadows. Opponents of the refusenik movement —r and there are many in Israel — claim that conscientious objectors represent only a tiny fraction o f Israel’s total fighting forces. But Adivi says those numbers belie a much deeper opposition within the mili tary. “For every refusenik who comes out of the closet and signs the public petition, there are another 20 soldiers who find a way not to do their service in the West Bank and Gaza Strip,” he says. Some get notes from their doctors saying they are too sick to serve. Others, Adivi notes, pur chase plane tickets and conveniently leave the country before receiving their orders. “People are finding their ways,” he says simply. Adivi emphasizes that in no way does he condone the violence being perpetrated by the Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorist groups. Nevertheless, he believes Israel’s efforts to defend some 200 Jewish settle ments with 3000 miles of roads between them have put the nation in an untenable position. Military checkpoints and road blocks, he says, only make the lives of Palestinians intolerable by denying them such basic human rights as the ability to earn a living, attend school, vote, seek adequate medical care, etc., he says. “The Israeli army has turned the West Bank and Gaza Strip into a huge prison where three and a half million Palestinians are jailed. This is something that the human being should not do. And we decided not to do it.” Thus far, Adivi’s message has been well received by American audiences, even those who disagree with his position. Though most o f his presentations have not been before mainstream Jewish groups, that’s beginning to change. “The problem is, during the last few years the tradidonal belief was that the Jewish com munity here should support the present prime minister of Israel, no matter what his beliefs and deeds are,” says Adivi. “Therefore, criticism o f Israel is something that you don’t do in public.” Another problem, he believes, is that many Americans either don’t understand or choose to ignore the complexities of the crisis. “Many American people love Israel,

“The Israeli army has turned the West Bank and Gaza Strip into a huge prison where three and a half million Palestinians are jailed. This is something that the human being should not do. And we decided not to do it.” STAY and I’m happy they love Israel,” he says. “But mass media tend to tell stories as black and white. So the people think it’s black and white and the president thinks it’s black and white. The picture is a lot more colorful.” Adivi hopes American Jews will engage in a more spirited debate about the Occupation, in part because they have the political clout to influence Congress and the W hite House to pressure Israel. Ulti mately, he hopes Israel’s supporters in the United States will recognize that support ing an end to the Occupation is neither anti-Semitic nor anti-Israel. And perhaps, when it’s time for Adivi and his wife to return to their homeland in three years, the situation between Israelis and Pal estinians will have improved, he says. “That’s our blueprint for peace.” ®

You can’t complain to Bill McKibben about an unseasonably cold spring. Fifteen years ago, at age 27, the former New Yorker writer launched an exhaustive investigation of global warming that con vinced him humanity — more specifically, human ambition — was having a catastrophic effect on the Earths climate. The resulting best-seller, The End o f Nature, was an eloquent, urgent call to environmental action. Translated into 20 languages, the book established the young Harvard alum as an eco-Cassandra, a prophet of civilization-changing dangers most people would rather not face. “I’ve spent the intervening 15 years alternately being completely horrified that what I said was happening in fact was, and — true confession — feeling slightly vindi cated with each passing horrible, hot year,’’ says 42-yearold McKibben, who is now a visiting scholar at Middlebury College. His new book, Enough, calls attention to a threat even more insidious than a hole in the ozone layer. Subtitled Staying Human in an Engineered Age, the book examines technologies, particularly genetic manipulation, that have the potential to irrevocably alter our kind. McKibben passionately suggests that unless they’re restricted, advances which permit us to eliminate hereditary diseases like hemophilia and cystic fibrosis will also pave the way for a booming market in genetic “enhancements.” Parents will be able to “program” their kids not only to be healthy, but also happy, thin, smart — even musical, obedient or pious. “W hat will you have done to your newborn when you have installed into the nucleus of every one of her billion cells a purchased code that will pump out proteins designed to change her?” he asks rhetorically in Enough. “You will have robbed her of the last possible chance of understanding her life.” While McKibben thoroughly examines what it means to be mortal, he asserts that the alteration of human hard wiring amounts to a form of species suicide. > >

Bill McKibben adds to his literary eco-arsenal with a new book on bioengineering

by paula routly Like The End o f Nature, Enough is an impassioned and well-researched warning about human domination. “Unlike global warming, though, this genie is not out of the botde,” McKibben writes of human germline engineering, a procedure in which embryos can be customized. That fact justifies the tide o f the book, and its ultimate prescription of self-restraint. Arguing that we already live sufficiently long, and well, he writes, “We have reached a point of great comfort and ease relative to the past. The real question is whether, having reached that point, we want to trade it in for something essential ly unknown... Is it possible to say enough?” As a writer and thinker, McKibben is drawn to what he calls threshold issues — “things that are so big that if you step past a certain point everything changes” — and he is uniquely equipped to take them on. The son of a newspaper man, he has the reporting skills to decipher the science and the writing flair to make the results entertaining and understandable. Despite 21 pages o f footnotes, Enough never feels academic. In a rare, immodest moment, McKibben concedes, “I’m pret ty good at synthesizing a lot of stuff from a lot of places and seeing patterns in it.” But it’s in the philosophy, psychology and theology departments which Mc Kibben really excels. N ot too many writers are chosen for inclusion in “best science”

ou can trace the intellectual journey — and the personal evolution — of Bill McKibben through the books he’s written since The End o f Nature. The Age o f Missing Information (1992) is a meditation on the negative impact of tele vision. Maybe One (1998) argues for onechild families — he and his wife, writer Sue Halpern, have a 10-year-old daughter. Long-Distance: The Year o f Living Strenuously (2000) is the literary account of a mid-life crisis. It documents the painful process resulting from McKibben’s decision — approaching 40 — to get in the best shape of his life. Enough reflects more mature concerns, such as parental control, mortality and what constitutes a good life. “I couldn’t have written this book when I was 27,” McKibben says. “My interaction with the natural world, the external world, had ripened to some degree by the time I was 27. But my interaction with the internal 'f world had — only since being married, having a child, watching my father die — reached some level where I can think about these questions.” In some ways, McKibben seems older than he is. A former high-school debater, he eschews slang for a more thoughtful, formal way of speaking. You can imagine him holding his own with “Mr. Shawn,” ash e still refers to the former editor of The New Yorker, or planting crops along side Amish farmers, an experience he

journalist before he went to Harvard. There he found a place at the university’s hard hitting daily — initially as a reporter cover ing Cambridge and, in his senior year, as the paper’s editor. “My major was theoreti cally political science — government, they call it there. But all I did there was work 14 hours a day on The Crimson, for four years.” Some of the editor’s work found its way to William Shawn at The New Yorker mag azine. He telephoned McKibben, who promptly hung up on him. “I thought it was someone teasing,” he says. Six months later, Shawn called again and offered Mc Kibben a job. McKibben came to The New Yorker at age 21 and stayed five years, during which he wrote approximately 400 anonymous “Talk of the Town” pieces. The research, which is archived in three binders in his Middlebury office, took him to strange places all over New York. Writing short and byline-free on all kinds of subjects was “liberating,” McKibben recalls. Although he was younger than everyone else on staff, he says, “it was the only place I’ve felt comfortable working.” McKibben quit his job the day Shawn was fired. Pretty soon he was doing longer pieces, with bylines, for The New Yorker, The New York Review o f Books and The New York Times. Then his first book made him an instant celebrity in environmental science circles. He would have preferred a

the bustle of Manhattan for the virtual isolation of Johnsburg, population 200. McKibben thrived, dividing his days between writing, time in the woods and civic involvement. He was treasurer of the Garnet Lake Fire Department and a Sunday school teacher at the Johnsburg United Methodist Church. From that side of the lake, he confess es, Vermonters looked like Saab-driving, cappuccino-sipping yuppies. But when Middlebury College extended a visitingscholar offer, McKibben and Halpern decided to see for themselves. They promptly fell in love with Addison County. “It’s like living in a Richard Scarry book — this little tiny compact area. You go from the spine of the Green Mountains, at like 3500 feet, down to sea level at Lake Champlain in 15, 16 miles. In between, there’s every kind of ecosys tem, there’s every kind of community.” They settled in Ripton, which is almost wild enough to feel like the Adirondacks. Although he has no teaching duties at Middlebury, McKibben fits right in amidst boundary-breaking profs like John Elder, an environmentalist who cur rently chairs the English department. McKibben occupies Elder’s former, Adirondacks-facing office for the year. “It’s one of the reasons I came,” he says of the view. The other was to write Enough, which has pretty much consumed him for the

McKibben’s willingness to pose what he calls “the deepest, juiciest” queries sets his books apart from straight science or nature essay. It’s not enough for him to introduce the inhabitants o f a genetically engineered future — the clones, cyborgs, designer children and robots. He gets into their heads. “This material really does force you to get deep into these questions of what it means to be a human being that for the most part we’ve written off: W ho am I? Who are we? W hat are we about?” Mc Kibben explains, acknowledging that Enough was more emotionally taxing to write than The End o f Nature. “People dis cuss them as airy irrelevancies, but clearly they’re raised anew by these technologies in ways that demand we get back to thinking about them — quickly. It’s the largest questions considered in their largest way that tend somehow not to get tackled.”

recalls in Enough. Tall and lean, he comes across as a well-meaning square — mod est, polite and earnest. He says he’s relieved to have missed the ’60s. You get the distinct impression he’s never inhaled. McKibben was born in Palo Alto, California, but grew up in Lexington, Massachusetts, where “It never occurred to me that having an oppositional, contrary soul was all that unusual,” he says. His summer job was directing tourists to the historic town green, on which villagers had confronted the British in the first skir mish of the Revolutionary War. The site took on added symbolism during the Vietnam War, when John Kerry and a group o f veterans petitioned the town for permission to protest there for a night. Their request was denied. “So hundreds of people in town, including my father, stayed all night with them and got arrest ed,” says McKibben. “That probably made an impression on me.” So, apparendy, did his fathers vocation — he was a business editor at The Boston Globe. McKibben was already a working

more activist response to The End o f Nature. McKibben recently got himself arrested with the head of Greenpeace call ing attention to global warming on Capitol Hill. He drives a hybrid car. “It’s been a good education. Even with all sorts of good people working on this problem, we’ve made essentially no progress — just because it’s so enormous.” McKibben is attracted to uphill battles. Otherwise he wouldn’t take on topics like environmental degradation, rampant con sumerism and loss of meaning in the modern world. But he isn’t all doom and gloom, as evidenced in his most optimistic book, Hope, Human and W ild (1995), which looks at three locales around the globe that are bucking those trends. Among them are the Adirondacks — what McKibben calls the““white-hot center of ecological restoration in the world. It’s the one place in the world that has gone from brown to green in the last century.” McKibben practices what he preaches. So in 1986, he and Halpern decided to move to the Adirondacks. The family left

past three years. Two reviews turned up on the day of our interview. The Los Angeles Times raved; The New York Times Book Review was not convinced. But the date had a significance greater than the vicissi tudes of literary criticism: It was the 50th anniversary of the published report in which James Watson and Francis Crick unveiled the structure of DNA. Just as the scientists who split the atom failed to envi sion Hiroshima, Iraq or North Korea, no one imagined that better understanding life could so quickly come to threaten it.

hen he wrote The End ofNature, Mc-Kibben devoted five or six pages to the advent of genetically modified organisms. “At the time, it seemed, compared to global warming, this was some ways off,” McKibben recalls. “Five years after that was published, half the corn and soybean fields in this country were planted with genetically modified

organisms. There is not a prod uct you can get in the super market, probably, that doesn’t have GMOs in it.” The same exponential phe nomenon is at work in human genetic engineering — McKibben compares it to the rapid development and public acceptance of computers and cell phones. W hat motivated Enough was knowing, as he puts it, that “altering the genome is essentially the end point of the whole genomic revolution.” He was also inspired — and alarmed — by a landmark arti cle in Wired magazine authored by the chief scientist at Suit Microsystems. After stating his techie credentials, Bill Joy sug-

He pairs science and “Seinfeld,” reporting and activism. gested a veritable bah on human genetic research, advanced robotics and nan otechnology, the next step in miniaturization whereby atoms can be rearranged to create materials. Joy claimed that all three technologies present a clear and present danger to society because of their ability to self-replicate. McKibben interprets Joy, “Tailored germs could spread; robots could build more of themselves,” and nanobots that could be deployed to do chores, or even create matter, could work up an appetite for oxygen or some other precious material upon which traditional life depends. McKibben expands on that vision, imagining armies of invisible “assemblers” dusting the house, featherless chickens and mind-uploading. Every “advancement” is documented, and the anecdotes are great. McKibben spent hours interviewing scientists for Enough, and they become interesting as characters. He tracked down Rael in Quebec before the cult leader claimed to have produced the first human clone. He catches Watson making numerous eugenics-friendly comments, such as, “It’s not much fun being around dumb people,” and “W hen you interview fat people, you feel bad, because you know you’re not going to hire them .” Another scientist, Robert Lanza, has a letter in the April 27 New York Times Book Review that claims McKibben misquoted him when he reported Lanza say-

SEVEN DAYS I april 23-30, 2003 I fe a tu re 27 A

ing, “W ere close to being able to add 20 or 30 points to your baby’s IQ .” Ultimately, though, McKibben goes much deeper. He is less interested in “how new technologies might physically overwhelm us than in about what it will mean to be human once we start doing these kinds of things.” To introduce this idea, he starts the book with a personal sports anecdote: his own experience running a marathon. “No one needs to run in the twenty-first century. Running is an outlet for spirit, for find ing out who you are, no more mandatory than art or m usic... Its significance depends on the limitations and wonders o f our bodies as we have known them. W hy would you sign up for a marathon if it was a test of the alterations some embry ologist had made in you, and in a million others? If 3 hours and 20 minutes was your spec? McKibben uses the personal to get philosophical. And he draws from a deep well of knowledge to make all the con nections he can, including ref erences to myth, literature and popular culture. He pairs sci ence and “Seinfeld,” reporting and activism. Noting some of the odd alliances that have formed around genetic engi neering, McKibben suggests a political solution to the prob lem. A discussion, at the very least. “If people actually sit down, think about this, and decide as a democracy that what we want to do is have engineered chil dren, then OK. I think it’s the worst idea there ever was, but that will be all right. It’s that it might happen without that process of democratic decision making that is really sad for me to contemplate.” McKibben admits that his findings can be dispiriting. Writing books helps. “It’s somewhat cathartic,” he con cedes, “to unload it on every body else.” He also finds com fort in physical exertion, espe cially outdoors. He ran the Boston Marathon on Monday. This summer he’s walking from Ripton to Johnsburg. “There’s something useful for me about being able to get out, often, into the woods. I just think it reminds me that the world is somewhat intact and going about its business.” This unusually frigid winter, in particular, was encouraging — although McKibben doesn’t believe we’re likely to see too many more like it. “Today was the 1 22nd day o f cross-country skiing for me,” he reports, as April snow begins to fall out side his open office window. He’s still happy to see the white stuff. “That means I skied one day in three this year. Even for me, that’s almost enough.” (7)

Best of the Rest

da Louise Huxtable, the dean of American architecture critics, declared six years ago that our nation was in “near-total architec tural retreat.” In her book The Unreal America, the former New York Times critic complained of a pervasive “architecture of STORY facile illusion, of image over substance, of DONALD artifice over art.” MAURICE Huxtable was railing against KREIS “Disneyfication” and fakery — Michael Graves using the Seven Dwarves to sup IMAGES port a pediment, the faux Sphinx at a hotel GARY HALL in Las Vegas, the false nostalgia of instant “neo-traditional” communities like Seaside, Florida, as seen in the movie The Truman 1-89 r e s t sto p Show. a n d t o u r i s t c e n te r, Six years later, the retreat continues, at W illisto n , least in Vermont. This is the ineluctable d e s ig n e d by conclusion to be drawn from the fact that M ichael W isn ie w sk i. a pair of imitation barns along Interstate 8 9 — the rest area in Williston — was recently proclaimed one of the best new buildings in Vermont by the states chapter of the American Institute of Architects in its annual awards for excellence. “Think of opera,” suggests Michael Wisniewski, having been warned in advance that this critic shares Huxtable’s proclivities. It took the Burlington archi tect more than a decade to shepherd his design for the new restrooms and tourist information centers through the review and construction process. So he might be forgiven for comparing the experience to hours of shrieking Wagnerian Valkyries. But Wisniewski actually is making a different point: that many operas achieve musical greatness despite truly goofy libret tos. So, too, with a contemporary public building designed to look like a barn, according to the architect, the “story” might be ridiculous, but there is still an opportunity to achieve Mozartean elegance * in the structure, the attention to detail and the use of materials. There is a little Mozart here, though more would be welcome. That composers genius was to achieve a kind of soaring, lyrical melodic beauty using forms and concepts invented by earlier composers. Their architectural equivalent would be icons like Louis Sullivan, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and, more recendy, Frank Gehry. Sullivan helped ignite modern architec ture a century ago by proclaiming that form must follow function. At the 1-89 rest stops, it does. Wisniewskis buildings are designed with three distinct modules: a big, church-like barn for the information center, a low pavilion containing the bath rooms, and a second, smaller barn-like structure housing mechanical facilities. Alas, form forgets function when it comes to the cupolas, which are vestigial. Though windowed and opened to below, they do not function as nighttime beacons as

Wisniewski had hoped. Nor do they venti late, as cupolas do on real barns. In fact, ugly metal exhaust chimneys stand next to the cupola of each mechanical module. A generation after Sullivan, van der Rohe proclaimed on behalf of modern architecture, “God is in the details.” The Miesian deity would approve of Wis niewski’s public restrooms, particularly in comparison to their dismal, demolished predecessors at the site. The floor tiles are perfectly aligned with the wall tiling, as opposed to the more typical random juxta position. A band of multicolored tiles just above eye level adds a splash of life, and

clerestory windows high over the sinks admit ample natural light. (Unfortunately, the trough-like sinks appear to have been specified out of a catalog of prison fix tures.) And there are three rather than two restrooms. The middle one can be opened when another is being cleaned, or when a whole busload of bloated bladders descends at once. Gehry s Guggenheim Annex in Bilbao, Spain, has famously advanced the progress of architecture, with its wild shapes encased in racy titanium shingles. The forms of Wisniewskis project are as tradi tional as Gehry s are sculptural, but at least Wisniew-ski and his clients — the Vermont Agency of Transportation and the states Department of Buildings and General Services — share Gehry’s commit ment to using innovative and high-quality materials. Few visitors will notice that the beams supporting the roof are high-tech gluelaminated wood, but such cost-saving measures are what make pleasantly soaring spaces possible when building taxpayerfunded structures. Plus, these laminated

beams are likely to maintain their sleek veneer without developing the cracks typical of traditional timber framing. The cedar-clad walls of the buildings are generously punctuated with large rectangu lar windows that evoke the glass “curtain walls” of Park Avenue skyscrapers more than the rural vernacular. O r do they? “I love it when old barns are peeling away,” Wisniewski says, referring to the decaying process that often leaves whole walls of these crumbling structures exposed. To create this sense of “peeling,” the ground-level windows spanning the western facade of both buildings are slightly recessed

F au x tractors as

Since a splendid panorama of the Green Mountains lies to the east of the buildings, all this glass also reflects the radical notion — at least in the genre of highway rest stops — that visi tors might enjoy checking out a glorious view while passing through. This is ultimately more valuable than a sly homage to entropy. One thing that must be said about icons of “form follows function,” glass-and-steel modernism is that humor and whimsy were not their muse. Le Corbusier designed “liv ing machines” instead o f houses, expecting people to comply with his scientific notions of habitation. The post-modernism of the 1980s and ’90s, which Huxtable rails against as cheap and superficial, can also be regard ed as an effort to throw a little life at all this stolid principle. Having run its course, post-modernism has left a pleasant penumbra: In Prague there is a Frank Gehry building nicknamed “Fred and Ginger” because it resembles a dancing couple. In Williston, Wisniewski and Vermont landscape architect Keith Wagner custom-designed picnic tables to look like tractors, with paving stones laid

into the ground so as to suggest the path each tractor has plowed. A series of raised furrows, crowned with apple trees, extends the farming allusion while serving as a barri er between the picnickers and the highway. An optimist who is familiar with archi tecture will see the ghost of Charles Moore at work. Moore was a restless spirit and sure ly a modernist. In 1965, his famous Sea Ranch condominium on the California coast gave American architecture an iconic example of how abstract forms — especially when clad in weathered natural wood — can seem to grow naturally out of a stun ning landscape. Moore took his inspiration from local agricultural buildings, just as Wisniewski does. Faux tractors as picnic tables in Williston, to say nothing of information counters engi neered to resemble combine harvesters, are pleasingly ridiculous. The trouble is that architecture has moved on, even from the place Huxtable found so disturbing in 1997. Back with a vengeance is the notion that architecture can innovate and that new buildings need not resemble old ones. Witness the recent decision in New York to eschew a skeletal replica of the destroyed World Trade Center in favor of Daniel Libeskind s garden of bold new forms grow ing out of the subterranean “bathtub” left behind after 9/11. Even in staid New England, there is widespread affection for the new Simmons Hall dormitory at MIT in Cambridge. There, architect Steven Holl ignored the neo-classical milieu and created a daring structure that resembles a kitchen sponge on end. Something like that — a building form the leaf-peepers would really remember upon their return home — could have hap pened along the interstate in Williston. “My very first proposal was two parallel curved stone walls that rose out of the ground and contained all of the service spaces and bath rooms,” Wisniewski recalls. “This primal form penetrated and ran through a flatroofed glass-box envelope for all the public space before exiting and diving back into the ground. Kind of an unholy marriage between Robert Frosts “Mending Wall” and your friendly Texaco Service station. ” W hy wasn’t this intriguing concept exe cuted? “The silence was profound when it was presented,” the architect says. “Sadly, the model is long gone; only the memory remains.” Wisniewski’s creation still amounts to a pleasant pee in fantasyland, the triumph of an idealized image of Vermont conjured for tourists. But critics cannot be blamed for preferring architecture that “engages and reveals necessity and beauty in the language of our time,” as Huxtable put it. Let’s hope for some of that in next year’s crop of award-winning Vermont designs. ®

almost single-handedly turned pop radio on to the sound of female folk-rock, and is one of the

most respected artists of the singer-songwriter scene. From her early crossover hits "Luka" and 'T om 's Diner," to her recent album Songs in Red and Gray, Vega has remained at the top of her game. This spring, A&M records will release the career-spanning Retrospective collection. Vega heads to Higher Ground this Sunday. Jack Hardy opens.

reviewth is VIC DONOVAN, WHERE DO I GO NOW? (Self-released, CD) The 11 tracks on Vic Donovan's debut CD, Where Do I Go Now? show off his versatility as a songwriter, and also his ability to deliver everything from sensitive "acoustic guitar and vocal" introspection to full-blown rockin' honky tonk. He particularly shows off the introspection stuff on the catchy title track. The Vermonter is backed up on his musi cal showcase by the Bigdogband, consisting of Jim Webber on guitar, drummer Ken Najarian and harmonica player Steve Romprey. In addition, Donovan has utilized some talented out-of-town friends on extra guitar and saxophone on selected tracks. Listening to Where Do I Go Now certain ly suggests Vic Donovan and Bigdogband are probably something to see live. Keep a lookout for the CD release parties. ROBERT RESNIK

PAUL BRILL, SISTERS (Self-released, CD) New York-based singer-songwriter Paul Brill has a knack for writing soaring, emotional, country-tinged pop songs. On Sisters, he adds a little sparkle to this formula with pedal steel guitar, a crackling rhythm section and even the occa sional horn. The material sits solidly in the lighter side of the Americana camp, a bouncy bliss that's equal parts weepy ballads and rambunctious rockers. In all. Brill sounds similar to The Jayhawks or The Wallflowers. However, where those groups kick out a somewhat gritty rock, Brill sticks closer to polished pop. "B egin at the End" starts things off with a dancing fiddle and loping country punch. Brill backs himself with high harmonies that sound much like head Jawhawk Gary Louris. "M acon" shuffles along with pedal steel, strings and horns. On "Blue Blanket," Brill takes things down a notch, accentuating his acoustic guitar and longing vocals with touches of pedal steel and cello. While Sisters explores no new territory in its dissection of country and pop, it's an engaging listen. Brill performs an early show this Saturday at Club Metronome, and later that night at Radio Bean. ETHAN COVEY

KIMYA DAWSON, I'M SORRY THAT SOME TIM ES I'M M EAN (Rough Trade, CD) The antifolk scene, once associated with political artists of the '80s such as Billy Bragg, has seen a resurgence in recent years. The new face of antifolk features the talents of singer-song writers who don't quite fit alongside the folk masses: young, hip, urban performers raised on punk and alternative rock. With New York as its base, antifolk has been bringing an artsy edge to the cozy comfort of folk. One half of oddball pop duo The Moldy Peaches, Kimya Dawson is one of this scene's newest stars. Spinning tunes filled with strummed acoustic guitars and an equally direct lyrical style, Dawson's songs are hummable little ditties that conceal a darker world of abuse and pain. I'm Sony That Sometimes I'm Mean, Dawson's first solo effort following the Peaches' extend ed hiatus, is 47 minutes of low-fi but surprisingly highbrow folk-pop. Drawling along in her trademark soft, monotone voice, Dawson fills her songs with brainy wordplay and winning cou plets that demand the listener pay attention to what's happening within the subtle, non-confrontational songs. "Trump Style" opens the disc with a chugging guitar and the sound of chirp ing birds. Dawson drops into folk mode with a traditional traveling, card-playing persona singing, "If. I don't take to the highway/I'm gonna lose my head." "You don't have money or a place/Or a pretty-pretty face," she continues, "B u t you're an ace/And that beats most every thing." "Reminders of Then" is a touching depression tale wound around a delicate flowery melody. "Everything's Alright" is a stream-of-consciousness, talking-blues-style cut that flows into a chorus with Dawson tenderly wondering, "W hy do I always pretend/I can spoon a guy/And still be his friend/I always wind up/Crushed out in the end/And it makes me crazy." However, Dawson always juxtaposes her serious and/or corny contemplation with humorous nuggets, such as "Dolly Parton/Was really smart when/She said/'It's not my head that's broken/It's my heart.'" Dawson also delves into stark moments of commentary on child abuse and disaffected youth. "Rocks With Holes" is a touching tale of a dreaming, confused child. "Hold My Hand," with its background sample of the fuzzy sound of a shower, is a downright chilling story of abuse and the incompetence of social workers. Yet Dawson never sounds preachy, merely recounting the facts in a bruised tone, heavy with an obvious hurt. All in all, Dawson has succeeded admirably in her first post-Peaches effort. With a charming ly childlike and powerfully simple songwriting style, she is well suited to her post as queen of antifolk. Dawson appears Tuesday at Higher Ground with The Butchies and The So So's.

CALL TO ARTISTS

Studio Place Arts in Barre seeks artists to participate in "Fun & Games," an

E X H IB IT "Hudson River School Landscapes," from the St. Johnsbury Athenaeum. Cerf Gallery, Middlebury College Museum of Art. summer. ARTW ORK

Asher Durand, "Landscape with Rocks"

he Middlebury College Museum of Art currently has seven more masterpieces on display than usual — landscapes on loan from the St. Johnsbury Athenaeum while it undergoes renovations. These mid-19th-century treasures of the Northeast Kingdom will be in Addison County for safekeeping, and viewing, through the summer. It's nice that they weren't just tossed into a vault. The seven works are by six o f the most important American painters of their era: John Frederic Kensett (1 8161872); William Hart (1 8 2 3 -1 8 9 4 ); Jervis McEntee (1 8 2 8 -1 8 9 1 ); Asher B. Durand (1 7 9 6 -1 8 8 6 ); Thomas Moran (18 3 7 -1 9 2 6 ); and Jasper Cropsey (1 823-1900). All these artists are iden tified with the Hudson River School, a movement that was extremely influen tial and popular in its day htif ^ jtiw T T tends to be overlooked. Durand is arguably the best known of the group. His “Landscape with Rocks” from 1859 contains good examples of what he is known for — the coarse details of nature. It has crag gy roots, stones and a jumbled cow path tumbling down to a placid creek. McEntee's 1871 “Woods of Asshokan, Catskills” is also the intimate view of a creek bed. But while Durand focused on visual texture, McEntee was more concerned with color. He captured the creek in autumn, which enabled him to play with a warmer palette o f reds, orange and sienna. The forms are soft er and more delicate than those in Durand's work. McEntee's leaves seem just about ready to fall. Thomas Moran was born in England and is clearly influenced by English landscape painting, especially the work of Turner. Moran's “An Autumn Afternoon” from 1878 has a

o f this group, particularly in the sketchy details behind his foliage. The works by Kensett and Hart represent the Luminist style, a subcat egory of the Hudson River School. Their pieces capture light in a manner that presages the Impressionistic paint ings from later in the century. Kensett traveled to Europe with Durand in the late 1840s and may have been exposed to some o f the ideas about nature and

The scene is in early autumn, so ample dark greenery remains. Jasper Cropsey painted with no such murkiness. “Autumn Woods,” his 1875 rendition of fall — a popular subject — is crystal-clear in the fore ground. The sfumato o f Cropsey's aeri al perspective is comparatively restrained. His piece also contains some o f the most exquisite brushwork

society that led to the Barbizon School, which flowered in France just a few years later. Luminist painters relied on shifts in value and worked with earthy, natura listic hues. Kensett is also interesting because he made many sketching trips to Vermont and New Hampshire. His 1850 “Landscape, Village in the Dis tance” may actually be the view of a road leading to Rutland. William Hart's 1870 “Autumn Morning” and 1873 “Summer, Passing Showers” both have focal points in their compositions midway between

foreground and horizon. Unlike most Hudson River paintings, these are insu lar rather than expansive. “Summer Showers” is almost somber compared to the rest of the Athenaeum group. Hudson River School paintings are romantic idealizations of the American wilderness, but most of the paintings were actually produced in New York City studios. Artists would generally travel and sketch in summer and fall, then hunker down in their studios to paint all winter. That was exacdy the sort of approach American and Euro pean Impressionists objected to a gener ation later. One piece in the Athenaeum's col lection was probably too big to safely move. It's an 1867 Hudson River School painting that fetched the high est price ever paid for a piece of American art up until that time. Albert Bierstadt's 10-by- 15-foot can vas “Domes of Yosemite” originally cost an astounding $25,0 0 0 . But history has been unkind to the Hudson River School. The same year Bierstadt painted “Domes,” Edouard Manet in Paris produced “The Exe cution of Emperor Maximilian I.” Today Manet's monumental work is considered one o f the most important in the canon of Western art, while “The Domes of Yosemite” is known primarily as the biggest painting in Caledonia County. ®

Getting 21 people to agree on any task can

be difficult, but "wOrd wOrks" found a way. In the exhibit at Burlington's Flynndog (through June 1), text is the common thread holding an eclectic group of artists together. Maps, poems and even personal ads are intertwined in collage, photography and paint to produce meaning. Each work varies in size and medium, but calm colors and a linear presentation down the long hallway gallery make it easy to navigate through the numerous pieces. If you visit, plan on giving yourself plenty of time to read as well as look. Pictured work by Alice Eckles. PH O T O : MATTHEW T H O R S E N

s this oddly titled import worth your time? Only if you’re interested in see ing the most unapologetically feel good, English-produced, coming-ofage, ethnic sports comedy ever made. An irresistible feast of a film, Bend I t Like Beckham stars Parminder Nagra as a London teenager struggling to bring herself and her future into focus while navigating the parallel worlds occupied by hip young friends and firmly traditional Indian parents. With her older sister’s wedding just days away, the young woman finds herself on the family sidelines sharing her innermost thoughts with the poster on her bedroom wall of British soccer superstar and personal god David Beckham. Most of these thoughts revolve around her passion for the sport, her stunning aptitude for it and the wish that her talent might be put to better use than kicking circles around local boys at pickup games in the park. Two impassable realities stand between Nagra and the fulfillment of her dreams, however. First, the school she attends doesn’t offer a program for girls. And, second, her mother and father are old-fashioned Sikhs who believe a woman’s place is in the home, not on the home team. And then one afternoon another wunderkind jogs into her life, bringing

good tidings from the other side of town. Keira Knightly — who looks like the product of a highly successful attempt to crossbreed Winona Ryder with Cameron Diaz — costars as a student at a slighdy more upscale school, which boasts not only a firstrate women’s soccer program but a sensitive, twinkle-eyed Irishman (Jonathan Rhys-Meyers) as its coach. Knightly recognizes her new friend’s physical genius and brings her along for a tryout even though doing so may jeopardize both her own stand? ing as the team’s star player and her special relationship with Rhys-Meyers. The two aren’t quite an item — that would violate school rules — but it’s evident each has a simmering crush on the other. That’s one o f the things that make this film such a disorientingly joyful experience. The people who populate it are likable and well intentioned. Hollywood filmmakers operat ing on the principle that every picture needs a bad guy should take note. Director and cowriter Gurinder (W hat’s Cooking?) Chadha juggles the conventions of multiple genres experdy, giving each a new spin and, in the process, producing a movie that’s more than the sum of its parts. Nagra is a screen presence with whom it’s easy to empathize. She’s sweet, smart, funny and hell on a football field. Ten min

utes in she’ll have you under her spell, hoping her parents won’t discover she’s playing behind their backs, and rooting for her to get her shot at the big time. As an ethnic comedy, Bend It Like Beckham is everything M y Big Fat Greek Wedding wasn’t (I watched the runaway Nia Vardalos hit again this weekend just so I could make the comparison.) There’s nothing sitcomready here, no rim-shot observations or stereotype-driven jokes. The por trait of traditional Indian life Chadha provides manages to mine laughs from characters without resorting to making them laughable. Even the whole will-she-or-won’tshe-make-it-to-the-big-game device is handled with such wit and warmth, you notice yourself ever nearer the edge of your seat even though you couldn’t be clearer about the outcome if you were reading the script. It’s easy to understand why Bend It has become a phenomenon in Britain, and difficult to fathom why Fox has dragged its feet getting the film into wide release in the States. Perhaps the powers that be worry American audi ences won’t know what to make of a teen film that doesn’t play by the rules. But its considerable charm, of course, arises precisely from the way the pic ture doesn’t merely bend but breaks them. (?)

ast week held many disappointments: In Iraq, U.S. occupation forces secured the oil but did nothing to save the art treas ures of an ancient civilization. And, although it seems trivial by comparison, I was dismayed to learn that A Mighty Wind probably will not reach the Burlington area any time soon. Not to diminish the tragedy in the Persian Gulf, these days we need all the wit we can get. I particularly crave the kind of character-driven comedies direct ed by Christopher Guest, who also stars in this tale of old folkies reuniting after three decades. Despite stellar reviews in New York and other major cities where it opened Wednesday, the mockumentary is not on the agenda in the near future for either Cinema 9 or Merrill’s Showcase. I advise other laugh-deprived cineastes to prepare for the eventual arrival of W ind by either revisiting — or experienc ing for the first time — Guest’s Waiting

(2000). They are, respectively, about an amateur theatrical in a small Missouri town and a dog championship competi tion in Philadelphia. You can rent This Is Spinal Tap, as well. The 1984 release had Rob Reiner at the helm, but Guest is one of the leads, along with Michael McKean and Harry Shearer. Then, the actors employed British accents and long locks to play a trio of heavy-metal rockers once known chiefly as “England’s loudest band.” In their W ind incarnation, the lads — all veterans of “Saturday Night Live” — por tray balding Americans who performed together as The Folksmen in the 1960s. While W ind offers the first on-screen regrouping of Guest, McKean and Shearer in 14 years, the film is equally notable for bringing back the east that gives Guffman and Show such deadpan hilarity: co-writer Eugene Levy, Catherine O ’Hara, Parker Posey and Fred Willard. In the new satire, Levy and O ’Hara appear as Mitch and Mickey, a daft for mer folk music duo. Best in Show pres ents the two Canadian “SCTV” alumni

as a canine-fancying couple, Gerry and Cookie Fleck. Whenever they’re paired, it’s a match made in humor heaven. Most mainstream movies work too hard to tickle our funny bones; the thespians involved virtually wink at the audi ence. Primarily improvising, the members of Guest’s ensemble deliver their lines with absolute sincerity. And his affection for them manages to shine through every absurd thing they’re asked do in the name of art.

You may never have heard of Maurice Rapf, a Norwich resident who died last Tuesday at age 8 8 . After being blacklisted as a studio screenwriter in 1947, he began a second career teaching film stud ies at Dartmouth College more than a quarter-century ago. Rapf was Hollywood royalty. His father Harry co-founded MGM in 1924 with Louis B. Mayer and Irving Thalberg. Ten years later, as a Dartmouth College junior, Maurice spent a summer studying in the Soviet Union, and a visit to Berlin convinced him that Marxism was the only means to defeat the Nazis. The idealistic Rapf soon joined the Communist Party back home in Cali fornia. That choice would turn into an occupational hazard when the Red Scare ruled show business in the late 1940s and 1950s. Earlier, playwright Lillian Heilman had recruited Rapf to help establish the Writers Guild of America. He was on a staff of scribes for several Disney anima tions, including the controversial A Song of the South — denounced by the NAACP in 1946 for promoting racial stereotypes. His fellow wordsmiths on other projects were often luminaries-tobe: Budd Schulberg and F. Scott Fitz gerald with Winter Carnival in 1939, and Ring Lardner Jr. with Brotherhood of Man in 1945. Unable to find jobs during the McCarthy era, Rapf left the West Coast. Hired by Dartmouth in 1966, he reset tled his family just across the Connec ticut River. Although he turned his atten tion to education, the Tinseltown expa triate also found a sideline as a movie critic for Family Circle and Life maga zines. Rapf later assumed the roles of profes sor emeritus and author — he penned the autobiographical Back Lot: Growing Up W ith the Movies in 1999 and A ll

About the Movies: A Handbook For the Movie-Loving Layman in 2000. In 1987 Rapf was invited to Burlington by what is now called the Vermont International Film Festival, an annual showcase for topical motion pic tures. He participated in a panel discus sion about the Hollywood blacklist, a smear campaign that had irrevocably altered the course of his own life. (Z)

Gas prices got you down? Take a break from your daily commute and join the Lake Champlain Committee, Chittenden County Transportation Authority, The Point - 104.7 FM, Seven Days and Local Motion in an Earth-friendly Event

Curb Your Car D ay Friday, M ay 2 What:

A day to curb your car -- carpool, walk, bicycle, rollerblade, telecommute or take the bus instead of driving solo. To play a part -- just leave it parked!

Why:

Cars are a major source of air pollution. Many pollutants in Lake Champlain are linked to auto emissions. The average car in the Lake Champlain Basin travels 17,000 miles and emits 935lbs of pollution into the air each year

Who:

You! Please join in and reduce the number of cars on the road May 4.

How:

Simply call the Lake Champlain Committee (LCC) at (802) 6 5 8 -1 4 1 4 to register, OR mail, fax (802 658-1405) or email (lcc@lakechamplaincommittee.org) a completed copy of the form below to LCC by April 30. By registering, you will be eligible for great prizes!

Three hundred and sixty-five days a year we pretty much take our commutes for granted. We climb into our cars in the morning, make the drive, park the car, and then repeat the whole process again in the evening, rarely stopping to consider that our daily ritual has global impact, namely pollution. Please join LCC, CCTA, The Point, 10% Challenge, Local Motion and area businesses and agencies in Curb Your Car Day on Friday, May 2nd. The event is an opportunity for everyone to help reduce air and water pollution for a day by commuting in a low-impact way. If you register with the form below LCC will calculate your pollution savings and you'll have a chance to win one of the great prizes we've lined up for the event. Of course, everyone will win since we all breathe the air and drink the water!

Listen to The Point -- 104.7 FM - on Friday, May 2nd to hear regular updates on the amount of pollution we've prevented!

FRIDAY 25

RE-PETE PERFOR MANCE Pete Sutherland is about as close to folk royalty as one can be in Green Mountain circles. Last year, a rollicking retrospective of the Monkton fiddler/guitarist's reper toire — performed with a flock of Vermont's finest acoustic ambas sadors — attracted a capacity crowd to the lovingly restored Vergennes Opera House. For round two, Sutherland has dug up his Yankee roots and composed a bunch of brand-new ballads, fid dle ditties and shape-note hymnodies, throwing in some bluegrass burners and gospel stompers for good measure. The beloved troubadour and former VOH artistic director says he reserves a special place in his heart for the "gem of a small town opera house," adding, "It's the vibe and the acoustics of it that really spark your imagination and your creativity." The welltraveled Waldo & Woodhead deliv er their trademark mayhem the following night.

Others might suggest that such concerns are about as absurd as suspecting J. K. Rowling of peddling witchcraft. According to the kids who showed up at Borders to listen to a reading of Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are, roar ing, gnashing teeth, rolling eyes and bearing claws are just what kids do.

LIFE AND DEATH MATTERS David Kaczynski will perhaps always be linked to the plight of his brother Ted: The "Unabomber" was sentenced to four life terms for killing three people and injuring dozens more in the mail-bomb drama that terrorized the nation in the mid-'90s. But the understated upstate New Yorker emerged from the traumatic experience as an advocate for the mental ly ill and opponent of capital punish ment. Now the executive director of New Yorkers Against the Death Penalty, David Kaczynski offers his insights on "restora tive justice" and helps the innovative Vermont Dismas House in its mission to ease ex-cons back into the community.

ALLEGRO IN THE FAMILY Alisa Weilerstein was drawn to the cello at age 2, perhaps because it was a painted Rice Krispies box with a toothbrush for the end pin. Nowadays, the notable 20-year-old bows a noble-voiced, 1696 Matteo Goffriller. She's also graced the hallowed Carnegie Hall stage and released her owtfsolo blbum on EMI Classics. The Columbia University history major's impressive resume makes sense when the family portrait is revealed. Violinist Donald and pianist Vivian, long a dynamic duo in their own right, are the proud mom and pop who nurtured their prodigious daughter along the way. The family practice makes its case with a program of Haydn, Ives and Schubert's great "Trio in B Flat."

PORN TO BE WILD With a libidinous affinity for lesbian lap dances, titillating stripteases and bawdy, cleavage-filled burlesque, The Princesses of Porn are not your typical song-and-dance troupe. Throw in their three "official escorts," The Dukes of Dykedom, and the highfemme and butch-drag bunch from Boston are sure to "wet" the prissiest of appe tites. Still, the campy cabaret is more PG-13 than XXX; members include a certified sex educator, after all — with a bent on bending gender and exploring "queer sexu ality in all its varied forms." The pussy-obsessed posse, formed four years ago, is looking forward to their first Queen City encounter, says founder Amie Evans, a.k.a. Princess Amie. "It'll be a really fun and interactive night of femme power and dragking struts that will get folks warmed up for their own private after-hours perfor mances."

LO LA

t h e lo v e c o u n s e lo r Dear Lola, I'm dating a guy who belongs to a church that teaches wank ing off is a sin. I believe that pulling one's own chain is a nor mal and even healthy activity. Though I don't believe in God, I do believe that if God did exist s/h e would not have given us the ability to find pleasure in pumping the flesh if said activity were merely a ticket to Hell. Furthermore, although my boyfriend and I are not sexually active, I fear that when we do become intimate, his religion's prudish preachings will make our love life one big yawn. How can I convince him that he's being handed a load of theological crap and ensure our future happiness? Randy in Rutland Dear Randy, You may not be able to. Differences in religious outlook need not necessarily doom a couple. But in your case the gap seems pretty wide, its focus fairly fundamental. The influence of your company may eventually rub off on him, but your argu ments won't likely bring him around. And the worst thing you can do is continue in this relationship waiting for him to con vert. Pull out before it's too late. Love, Lola
