SENSITIVE GUY

As you read here a couple months back, Bill Sorrell had the lock on the attorney general job going in. That’s despite the fact he said he was n’t interested when Ho-Ho put Attorney General Jeff Amestoy into a Supreme Court black robe in January. Hey, everybody’s got feelings — Sorrell’s no exception — and he certainly didn’t like being raked over the press coals after being rejected as unqualified by the Judicial Nominating Board despite being Gov. Howard Dean’s pick for Chief Justice. “When the chief justice was named,” explained Billy, “I was just on the tail end of what had been a rather difficult and unpleasant process. The [charges] of cronyism’ and ‘Dean’s pal,’ etc. that were thrown about — that wasn’t much fun,” he said. Sorrell explained his initial public distaste for the A.G.’s post as a sign of the painful time he’d been through — “I mean, how masochistic do you want to be? Okay, put the noose around my neck again. I love this!” But things calmed down, and after a few long dinners to discuss the future with his wife, Mary Alice McKenzie, Billy realized he was the right man for the job. “I’m not going to say what happened in the fall was fun,’ he said, “but I couldn’t be happier today.” Good for him. Politics requires a thick skin, and Billy’s was looking a little thin there for awhile. But the fun won’t last long. The word under the golden dome is, Billy Sorrell’s going to have a challenge in the 1998 Democratic primary from Rep. Thomas Costello of Brattleboro, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. Tommy Guns will by then be the champion o f the DWI legis lation the Senate spit out this year and the House — aka Chairman Costello — has sat on. Next year it’ll have Costello’s fingerprints all over it. Great PR for him and a tough r&ce for Sorrell. Also Mary Alice, wife of Bill, is expected to be a State Senate candidate from Chittenden County next year. Ms. McKenzie is, in the opin ion of many, the best politician in the family. The question is, will the past chairman of the board of Associated Industries of Vermont run as a Democrat or as a Republican? Reefer Madness? — Those conservative Merry Hempsters on the House Agriculture Committee are at it again. Seems Rep. Fred Maslack noticed the coppers have been count ing “ditch weed” in their totals of plants seized in the Marijuana Eradication Program. In fact, only 20 percent of the 25,000 marijuana plants uprooted last year in Vermont was of the potent variety. Chairman Bobby Starr says he’s getting a “mixed signal” from law enforcement on what’s really happening. “Why are we spending the money if only 20 percent of what they con fiscate is real marijuana?” asks Starr. So he’s asked State Auditor Ed Flanagan to do a “fiscal analysis” of the program. Groovy. Vermont’s DEA chief, James Bradley, says ditch weed gets counted because ditch weed is marijuana regardless of the potency. “It’d be cooking the books not to count it,” ays Bradley. Maybe a public taste-testing could settle this one, fellas? Greer Trial — Judge Bill Sessions has ruled that only three reporters — Brian Joyce from Ch. 3,

mm. mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm Marvelous Mike Donoghue from the Freeps and yours truly — can sit in the courtroom when Adriaan Karman, the Dutch snitch in I Holland’s witness protection program, testifies. No sketch artists will be allowed. DEA Agent 1 Rick Carter testified last week that there are contracts out on Karman for ratting out Johann | “The Stutterer” Verhoek, the head of the Amsterdam-based Octopus crime syndicate. The g government wanted the courtroom completely * closed to press and public. For an update on the I trial see “Impossible Victory?” on page 15. Megabricks Update — Downtown Burlington’s | classiest new address — College & Battery — i still has about 15 condominium units unsold. Gerry M ilot’s “Megabricks” is a waterfront beauty. “Boston brownstones meet the ’90s,” is how realtor Carol Dousevicz describes the upscale Tom Cullins-designed landmark. They’d hoped to have everyone moved in by April 1, but construction started two months late, so the target for completion is now August, | maybe September. Two units are already occu pied, says Dousevicz, and every unit has “a degree” of a lake view. Among the many “notables” ready to call Megabricks home is Burlington attorney and former Democratic congressional candidate Jack Long. Mr. Longshot tells Inside Track he hopes to move into his new condo in mid-May. i Long, who did surprisingly well | for a guy shunned by his own g party (19 percent), also says that next time out he doesn’t think he’ll be running under the Democratic Party banner. “I don’t think I can stay in the Democratic party,” says Long. “It’s drifted too far to the left.” He cited two things that have soured him on the “Happy g Days are Here Again” crowd: “no public participation” in the property tax reform propos thatxstablishes aiocal in tax, and the recent fundraising “fiasco” involving party chair man, L’il Stevie Blunder. ■ ■■ One thing’s for sure: Living i I ■ | at Megabricks, Jack ought to be | I able to finance his next statewide race just by going condo-to-condo. Spoiler Talk — Despite it being | pretty early for mayoral cam| paign talk, Democrat Sandy Baird s recent declaration of her f intention to be Burlap’s next mayor has got a lot of jaws flap- 1 ping. Sandy let the cat out of the bag right before Mayor Peter Clavelle’s State of the City g address a couple weeks back. Republican City Councilor Kurt Wright found it interesting, too. He was right there when she gave yours truly the news. And he got | a kick out of Ms. Baird asking if she would end g up being dubbed a “spoiler,” as the last Democratic mayoral candidate was pigeon holed. Let’s see... what was that guy’s name? Mr. Wright tells Inside Track that “as of this | moment” he’d like to run for mayor in 1999, g too. He’s just wondering whether, with two can- * didates already publicly seeking the job, doesn’t 1 that make Peter Clavelle the potential spoiler? Media Notes — WCAX, “Vermont’s Own,” is | about to match W PTZ, “The Champlain Valley’s Leading News Station,” with a full half- ® hour newscast for the early birds at 6:30 a.m. 1 starting Monday. Even J.J. Chioffi will be up | and at ’em for this baby. Hey, it’s war! Meanwhile, W PTZ has a new Vermont bureau chief. Laura Peterson did TV in L.A. and S Sacramento. She’s a UCLA grad. Her hubbie went to Dartmouth and, she says, always wanted | to return to the East. He’s Duane Peterson, assis- 1 tant to the chairman of Ben & Jerry’s. □ WHOM

AND THE BESSIE GOES TO..

Notice anything odd about the Bessies ballot? The most accomplished filmmaker in the state is not in the running. “I think an event that celebrates theater and filmmaker in Vermont is a great idea,” says Jay Craven, whose Where the Rivers Flow North and High Water would have been con tenders. “But I just felt uncomfortable entering into a competition with people who are colleagues and allies.” Although he plans to attend the black-tie event, Craven maintains the Vermont film community is too small for an awards ceremony. “Comparing these films is like apples and oranges. Some have money to spend, some are more overtly popular than others, some are more recently released — there are a lot of variables,” he says. “On the other hand,” he says from the editing room in New York, “It is hard to make a film, and if you get through it, you deserve whatever ayyard they have got to give out.” City Market was a casualty in the the java wars — a case of coffeehouse run aground by too many other espresso oudets. But for years, the popular lunch spot was a social institu tion a place where people met to eat, talk and hang out. In the same location, Avery Rifldn hopes to revive that spirit and add some spice to “Stone Soup,” which will start dishing it out in June, Rifkin, who runs the Olive Branch Bakery at Cheese Traders on Williston Road in South Burlington, is teaming up with for mer Origanum manager 'Tim Elliott to serve “nice food with some funk to it. I have always worked for others. Now I want to do it on my own,” Rifkin says. If his chutzpah is anything like his challah, downtown Burlington is in good hands . . . Another coup for the Fleming Museum. Last week the Burlington museum received accreditation from the American Association of Museums, the fourth museum in Vermont to do so. The stamp of approval will help in fundraising and curatorial efforts. “It is an immediate recognition of credibility,” says Rita Daley of the Fleming. “If someone gives us a piece of work, or we ask to bor row a piece of work, the lenders know it will be handled proper ly.” Other accredited Vermont museums include the Fairbanks Museum in St. Johnsbury, the Bennington Museum and the Fly Fishing Museum in Brattleboro . . . Should there be try-outs for buskers on Church Street? Douglas Bishop would prefer the anxi ety of a one-time audition to the constant wrath of angry mer chants who are sick and tired of his tunes. “Guys like me are the Marketplace,” say lays panflute on Church Street sh * plaining that he i chants thatsfee! days.” The offe; fw a rt*

W hat makes a high school senior choose one pricey college over another? The meteorological circum stances of the campus tour? Dorm decoration? The Kama Sutrastyle graphic on the cover of the college newspaper and accompa nying scholarly review of the Guide to Getting it On? Sign me up. The Vermont Cynic turned some high-ranking heads last week with its graphic cover illustration of a copulating couple. “1 have been told there are a lot of unpleased parties out there,” says news editor Amanda Dupuis, not ing the paper caught “some flack” for its daring depic tion of acrobatic intercourse. She also claims it was one of the best-read issues ever. The expanding readership may have had something to do with the population on cam pus — last weekend the col lege hosted scores of poten tial freshman still undecided between groovie UV and some other less liberated institution. And their parents? “Hopefully their parents will real ize their kids are growing up, and they are going to be out there making their own decisions,” Dupuis offers. Hopefully the rents did not read the poorly reasoned book review, which runs through every position except the one that would have brought readers raz/pleasure — tongue-in-cheek.

The talks were generally about how she was preparing herself for what was next to come.

HIGH ON LIFE, I GUESS Last week in my review of Three Mile Limit’s new CD, Floating Off Somewhere Else, I did just that. Float off somewhere else, that is. I wish I could say it was some pleasant ly mind-altering substance that made me inadver tently rechristen the band Three Mile High (I even joked about the name, fer chrissakes), but I’m afraid it was just overwork, or serious Freudian slip page. Sorry, guys — I’m sure you spent hours and hours coming up with that name, only to have some asleep-at-the-wheel journalist drive it into a ditch. Oh, well, let me make it up to you with a little extra, well-deserved plug: By any name, these acoustic-based rockers are a damn good listen. There.

HO! HO! Burlington alt-rockers Chin Ho!, veter ans of many line-up changes, is on the WAAF “BayState Rocks” shows’ Top-20 playlist. The Boston-area rock station loves “When Everything Explodes,” from Big Heavy Worlds Sonic Tonic. On other fronts, the band heads to the studio this week with Glen Robinson — the Canadian heavy-hitter who’s also produced Envy, Wide Wail, Five Seconds Expired and Never Only Once. If all goes well, the band and Robinson will create a fulllength disc in the fall. Oh, and Chin Ho! is listed on High Times magazine’s Hemp 100 page, which lists happening people, places and things. Number 80 reads ‘“I Wish I Was a Phish Sticker’ by Chin Ho!, a band from Burlington, Vermont. “Just for the record, says vocalist Andrew Smith, “the song is called ‘Sticker’ and is included on Chin Hoi’s 1995 release, Big Crowd, but we appreciate the thought.” Meanwhile, Smith’s other band, (sic), was also noticed by High Times. “Good Drugs and Bad Drugs,” which will appear on the upcoming (sic) debut CD, made the “Pot 10” list — an editorial feature about the top songs or albums dealing with drug issues.

When Haiti’s 10-mem-

Their name is creole for “fire from Africa,” and that’s as good a description as any for this relentlessly vibrant, soulful sound: hand-drum mers and horns meet guitars and the powerhouse vocals of Eddy Francois.

Barbara Kessler has been busy, tour

ing madly and managing to snatch honors from the National Academy of Songwriters, Boston Music Awards and Kerrville Folk Festival. Oh, yeah, she also managed motherhood — a baby girl born right after Christmas. And that was just 1996. But “folk” is too narrow a label for this singersongwriter, who makes an impressive full-band leap with the lush, tough, pop-alt CD Notion (Eastern Front). Kessler returns to Burlington after three years — with band. Fellow Kerrville winner Ellis Paul shares the bill. Burlington Coffeehouse brings ’em to Contois Auditorium this Saturday.

lite, Jamaican stylee, from percussionist Twa Mercer. Neither knocks my socks off, as my grandmother used to say, but it’s hard to pin point specific objections when everything is so darn pleasant. Perhaps its that the dense funk machinations of an excellent rhythm team — Mercer, drummer Phil Carr and bassist Jay Asbury — are nearly overcome by the upfront vocals and a too-democratic mix. I’d like to have heard more than a stormdoud rumble from Asbury, for instance, on the sultry ballad, “Hold On,” one of the album’s strongest tunes. But the 11-song disc, engineered by Joe Egan, jproduced by the band and mixed by J’Kael at Eclipse, has its standouts. | Levin Pfeufer’s airy flute is BNB s flqtaaqifdm ^, ahd Michael Chorney’s too-sparse sax is, as always, a treat — especially his whin51hying solo in,“Sweet Love” and the dreamy-cool intro to ' - , «c___ ___ » r-'k.- d ji ’___ _________ i____e_.i__ I_____

title s now on s a le a t

*la*spread rani

N 1 u t l I (self-released CD) — Nighttime noises, cricket-like, and synth smoothness greet the listener of Burlington musician Steve Boothbys debut CD project, followed by whispers and rainy-night sax from Gus Ziesing. Then a vocalist and drums slip in. The lushly layered and steeply reverbed sound (recorded at Low Tech) is haunt ing, and the song is beautiful except for somewhat strained singing — since 10 people are credited with vocals, I’m not sure who it is, but it’s not one of the three females. The songs tend to blend into each other, as if in a stream of consciousness. In fact, the whole pro duction has a dreamy quality, even when grittier vocals, a Roland set on organ, and a pop-rock feel (“I’m Tired”) kick in. “Silent Airwaves” — parts I, II and III — features stirring guitarwork from one of the six players credited. Boothbys musical sensibility — admittedly influenced by Pink Floyd — is well represented by the title song: slow, stately, melodic, melancholy. Nice harmonies, gentle keyboard wash, wailing outro. “On Broken Ground” has the blaring assertive ness of a march, keyboard set to trumpet, and a poppish chorus bookending high-voiced, hypnotic verses. Just when the overwhelm ing constancy of minor chords and majestic swooshes sets nerves on edge, Boothby settles in with a piano and synth duet — still melan choly, but more elemental —- on “The Final Curtain,” followed by the bluesy “Miss Liberty” and “20th Century Life,” sung, I think, by Kip Meaker.

I could write a book about the journey o f the red corpuscle from the liver to the brain, I could tell about my night o f love w ith John F Kennedy, Jr., I could fly to the moon unassisted, and still people would ask me, “Is Anastasia alive?”

For an Anastasia biographer, Romanov wannabes are a royal pain Bv Peter Kurth

was playing with the remote late one night last week, hop ing to see some zebras get eaten by lions at the end of a busy day, when suddenly I saw my own face on the Learning Channel, looking very solemn and important and talking about the Romanovs — the Russian royal family executed by Bolsheviks in 1918. O r were they? For the record, this wasn’t the same program that aired earlier in the week on Arts &C Entertainment, on which I had also talked most solemnly and importantly about the Romanovs. Nor was it a repeat of last month’s “Biography” episode, on which I had talked about Rasputin and the Romanovs, or another “Biography” before that, on which I had talked about the Romanovs and Faberge. This was neither NBC’s National Geographic special on the Romanovs, nor the Discovery Channel’s “Last of

the Czars,” nor A & E’s “Nicholas and Alexandra,” nor PBS’s “Anastasia, Dead or Alive?” which originally aired as an episode of “Nova” and is now taught in the public schools with me as its talking head. It wasn’t one of the docu mentaries produced by the BBC, the CBC, “Equinox,” Channel 4, TV-5, “60 Minutes,” “Unsolved Mysteries,” Russian national television, Australian national television, Brazilian national television, or any of the dozen or so cable networks in Germany, France, Italy and Spain to whom I have, over the last few years, talked and talked and talked about the Romanovs. This was a program I didn’t recognize. Oh, it was me, all right. I could tell by the note of passionate conviction in my voice and the way my lip curled when I made sweeping general izations about Russian history — “The Tsar was a very good man but a very weak ruler,” for example, or, “Then along came

the Revolution — boom boom!” But I couldn’t for the life of me remember where the thing had been filmed. My mind was so completely blank that I didn’t even recognize the voice-over narration, which the credits informed me I had written myself. There it was on the screen: “Writer, Peter Kurth.” I was terrified. In a panic, I called my friend Josh Noble, whose job it is to look between my ears from time to time and report if there’s anything miss ing. “Congratulations!” Josh said. “You’re generic. Your patent’s expired. That ought to lower your price.” “It isn’t funny!” I wailed. “Oh, yes, it is,” said Josh. “Just think, at any hour of the day and night, somewhere in the world, somebody’s got insomnia and you’re helping

them get back to sleep.” This isn’t the first time I’ve had to speak to Joshua about his callous disregard for my feelings, but, let’s face it — I have to get a new subject. I’ve been talking about the Romanovs for so long I can barely remember who they were. Last week in these pages, one of my editors suggested that if A&E were a real televi sion network the Russian royal family would have their own sit-com. To me, these days, they’re more like a roach motel. I wandered into their parlor a long time ago and, God help me, I can’t get out. It doesn’t matter what else I do. I could write a book about the journey of the red corpuscle

from the liver to the brain, I could tell about my night of love with John F. Kennedy Jr., I could fly to the moon unassist ed, and still people would ask me, “Is Anastasia alive?” The name Anastasia means “Resurrection,” “She who will rise again.” And again and again and again, if you’ll take my advice. So far this month I’ve had six messages on my answering machine from a lady in New Zealand who needs to talk to me about Anastasia. I mean, she needs to talk to me. It’s a matter of the utmost impor tance, even, if I get her drift, of international concern! Recently I heard from a C ontinued on page 12

f you thumb through any edition of Vermont Life, listen to politicians constantly extol the state as “a special place,” or read one of The Burlington Free Press exercises in boosterism, you’d be hard-pressed to agree that Vermont undervalues itself. But that’s exactly the claim staked by Glenn Andres, a pro fessor of art history at Middlebury College. Vermont, he maintains, is a seldomopened treasure chest filled with historical riches of great significance to a nation that knows little about the Green Mountain State. Until recently, Andres adds, Vermont’s varied and well-doc umented past has been general ly ignored, even by the state’s own educational institutions. They have failed to closely examine local annals, believing, perhaps, that the endeavor would be seen as “somehow too parochial or regional, too insignificant to be important to the larger scheme of things.” Andres aims to explode that misconception in a talk next week at the University of Vermont. He’s also collaborat ing on the Vermont volume in a forthcoming Oxford University Press series on the architectural histories of all 50 states. In arguing that Vermont has let its glories go uncelebrated, Andres notes that he’s speaking of scholarly research pursuits, not narcissistic features in news papers or the puffery of pander ing pols. He cites several exam ples in support of his thesis, beginning with the ParkMcCullough Museum in Bennington. Andres describes this little-known site as “one of the earliest French Second Empire mansions” in the United States. “It’s of Newport, Rhode Island, quality,” he adds. Along with its original fur nishings, the museum contains a unique collection of 19thcentury photographs by Carlton Watkins, who recorded Yosemite and other wonders of the West. Housed there, too, are historical papers relating to the Park and McCullough fami lies, both of which produced governors of Vermont. Despite its architectural appeal and impressive holdings, the museum is having difficulty meeting its budget. “Nobody knows about it,” Andres explains. In his estimation, this is a prime case of the state not being sufficiently aware of its own amazing attics. “Vermont has the greatest

diversity of historic architecture of any state in the U.S.,” Andres flatly declares. And this legacy remains largely intact because, for much of the 20th century, the state floundered in economic backwaters. “The pressure to tear things down was not as strong here as elsewhere,” Andres points k t\f* OUt Preservation ^ I x L of its past endows Vermont with unique resources. One architec tural historian has observed, Andres reports, that St. Johnsbury may contain the most remarkable grouping of Victorian structures in the east ern United States. He also cites the example of “an entire feder al-style village” in Castleton. As for Burlington, “it’s unusual for

unusual building in Massa chusetts. Andres will be calling atten tion to other noteworthy ele ments of Middlebury’s architec tural heritage during a pair of guided walks on May 10 and May 29. The first focuses on Victorian homes; the sec ond on the vil lage’s commercial buildings. Local sources clearly have a lot to offer, Andres concludes. He learned that les son in the late 1960s while writing his Princeton dissertation on the Villa Medici in Rome. That was long before “local history began to be taken seriously by serious historians,” he notes. Historical documentation regarding crucial aspects of the

ry‘

Closer to the Middlebury campus where he has taught for the past 27 years, Andres points to St. Stephen’s Church, which, he says, deserves national recog nition as one of the earliest Gothic Revival structures in the country. The church was built in Middlebury in 1826-27 “because of a confluence of forces that reveal a lot about that time.” Middlebury imagined itself locked in an economic rivalry with Lowell, Massachusetts, which in those years was regarded as the leading industri al city in the U.S. Mills built along Otter Creek, in accor dance with blueprints smuggled out of Scotland, were making Middlebury a prosperous man ufacturing center. Civic pride spurred the local elite to finance construction of a church just as grand as one erected in Lowell a year earlier. And the model on which Middlebury based its own church was considered the most.

villa’s design were unavailable in the Italian capital, Andres recalls. A circuitous search eventually led him to the Tuscan hill town of Montepulciano. There, in the provinces, were the volumes Andres had sought — along with local architectural splen dors that, at the time, remained virtually undiscovered by out siders. “Very often,” Andres observes, “it’s the little places that can fill the gaps in the big picture.” With its “treasure trove of Americana,” Vermont can per form this function for the United States. First, though, it must become more cognizant of its own resources. The University of Vermont and other institutions are beginning to pay attention to the state’s past, Andres finds. UVM, for instance, will soon be offering a minor in Vermont Studies. There are financial incen tives for honoring and publiciz ing sites such as the ParkMcCullough Museum, he adds.

VO IC EO FG O D D AR D Continued from page 7 laughing aloud at what life had come up with. I hadn’t seen Lucille faceto-face in months, so inter viewing her for Seven Days would also give me a chance to see how she was doing, I thought. We set a date for the following week. It was hard to pick a day in advance, since she didn’t know from day to day how she’d be feeling, but we tentatively agreed to Tuesday, April 8. As we spoke on the phone, it was easy for me to forget that Lucille was dying — she radiated comforting reality like a small sun. Its just that quali ty that made her so calm in the face of what she knew was coming. “Some days are better than others,” she said before we hung up — “but they’re all good.” In the days prior to the interview, I called one of Lucille’s friends — Jane Sanders, Goddard’s provost and a candidate for the newly vacated presidency. Sanders was effusive in her praise for Lucille’s wisdom and bravery. “When I was considering whether to submit my applica tion to the college presidency, I knew I had to go and talk to her,” Sanders said. “And she

really got down to it with me — she’s worked under every president Goddard’s ever had, and she’s seen what it did to some o f them. “She was really honest about it,” Sanders continued. “You only need to meet her to know that she’s a beautiful, amazing person.” When I mentioned “On Death and Dying,” Sanders became solemn. “It’s an incredible experience for everyone involved,” she said slowly, “but I wonder whether she’ll have the strength to finish it out. She’s getting worse, you know.” I hadn’t. Dot Lemieux, a co-worker and friend of Lucille’s, gave me the same warning when I called her for advice on what sort of flowers to bring. “You should know she won’t care what kind they are,” Lemieux said. Then a troubled note entered her voice. “You go see her soon,” she cautioned, and would say no more. Now I was worried. Things were starting to sound more serious than Lucille had been letting on. I spent the weekend before the interview convinc ing myself that everyone was exaggerating, that I would do a good job representing the “voice of Goddard” on one of her final messages. It was a real

shock, therefore, when I got a phone call Monday from a friend. Her voice was tight. I would not get my interview. I wouldn’t even get to say good-bye.

he wake was more than a gathering; it was an inva sion. People overflowed the funeral home. Even so, it was hard to comprehend how many lives Lucille touched. Her family alone numbers in the dozens, from a sister who bears a striking resemblance to her to a two-week-old greatgranddaughter, her eighth. Lucille’s youngest son, Dean, greeted us warmly arid with an undeniably familiar smile on his face. He shook his head, bewildered. “Mom had a lot of friends,” he said simply. No one was really sure what to say — it was like attending the wake of a presi dent. Lucille was too much an institution to slip away quietly — though she would have protested such a fuss. I left the wake unfulfilled and confused. This is just the sort of thing I would have gone to Lucille to seek help with. And I did, in a way, by watching videotapes of the last few class es she taught before her death. The classes digressed easily and regularly, as Lucille talked with equal candor about her

fall on your face,” she told them. “Do it often enough and you’ll learn to get back up.” I couldn’t help but think of all the times she’d told me pretty much the same thing, when I fell behind in my studies, or when anger or shortsightedness led me to overreach myself. “Do what you need to,” she once said, “and you’ll get by. Do what you should, and you’ll be happy.” Sarah Comeau, a student and friend of Lucille’s, had the unenviable task of replacing her for a time when Lucille had first become ill. “It can’t be done,” she admitted. “I could answer the phones and shuffle papers, but people were coming by nonstop. They just wanted to check in with her, get advice, tell her how their day was. It felt awful, because Lucille has helped me, too. She helped everyone.” Towards the end of the last tape, a student asked Lucille if she regretted what she was leaving behind. “I’m not leav ing anything; I’m giving it to you,” she replied. “You guys keep it. I’ll be watching to make sure you do. I’ve left my mark, and it’s good. My life on earth was not empty.” With that she leaned back, and her face crinkled into a smile. □

recent past and her childhood. “Before we married, my hus band used to take me to local dances,” she recalled. Someone asked whether the dances were chaperoned. “Oh, yeah,” Lucille drawled slyly, “but they . didn’t work so good.” Lucille lost that same hus band five years ago, after 49 years of marriage, to a stroke. “It was hard,” she said, think-

IMPOSSIBLE VICTORY? W ill the ju ry in the Billy Greer trial believe the informants or be —

Bv Peter Frevne

ermont’s biggest drug con spiracy trial resumes in federal court in Burlington today, and it may be weeks before the prosecution rests. It now appears the jury won’t get the case for deliberations until late May or even early June. The federal court schedule has allotted just four days per week to the case, Tuesdays through Fridays. This week an extra day was lost due to Passover, and next week presid ing Judge William Sessions will be in New York City at the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals for three days. Billy Greer of South Burlington and Stephen Hutchins of Colchester are fac ing life without parole for their roles in masterminding a drug smuggling and drug dealing enterprise from 1980 to 1993. Their three co-defendants are facing 10-20 years if found

They’re hoping for “The Impossible Victory.” That’s the name given to a major drug case in South Florida that ended 18 months ago with a not-guilty verdict to a 16-count Kalina, who represents Greer, regularly focuses federal indictment.

Weinberg and Albert Krieger certainly played its part. According to “The Impossible Victory” by Jim DeFede in New Times maga zine, “the government called informant after informant — each more sleazy than the last — all of whom testified against Falcon and Magluta in hopes of having their prison terms reduced.” The blueprint used in the Miami case appears quite simi lar to the blueprint adopted by Acting U.S Attorney David Kirby and his partner, Assistant U.S. Attorney Gary Shattuck. Martin Weinberg calls it “a blueprint that has been used very effectively by prosecutors since 1987 to gain convictions, which is to simply throw at the jury every prisoner-informant who provides them with infor mation that damages the defen dant. And they hope the jury is going to say, it must be true. Continued on page 16

sion, two original characters — The Baker and his Wife — tie everything together. A spell has made them childless, and the witch sends them on a quest to undo the magic. The totems they seek just happen to be “the cow as white as milk, the cape as red as blood, the hair as yel low as corn, the slipper as pure as gold.” Guess who? Lyric’s production seems to have slid from the pages of a handsome picture book. The woods is represented by a shift ing latticework of trees. The row of cottages — Cinderella’s, Jack’s, the Baker’s — connects

1hat would happen if the princes and peasants of Grimm’s fairy tales crossed paths in the communal woods, each one’s story line walloping the other? This is the premise of the musical created by Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine, and staged last weekend by Lyric Theatre. Complete with intricate melodies and lyrics that careen through surprising puns and rhymes, Into the Woods represents somewhat of a departure for Lyric. There’s a smaller cast than usual, less hummable tunes, and a subtext There s a smaller Carl Jung and Bruno Bettelheim could curl up and cast than usual, less take a nap in. The play seizes on the things held most dear by our hummable tunes, familiar storybook friends, like Jack’s cow, Red Ridinghood’s and a subtext Carl granny and basket of snacks, and a Prince’s elusive love object. The characters are sent Jung and Bruno spinning into each other in var ious parts of the forest, where Bettelheim could their most treasured objects are stolen, lost, found, evaded, killed and restored. curl up and take a But it is basically a story about parents and children. nap in.

We were able to create not just reasonable doubt but to prove perjury.” Such has been the case so far in the Greer/Hutchins trial. Like tag team wrestlers, the defense team o f Bob Kalina, Mark Kaplan, Brad Stetler, Michael Maley and Mark Keller have worked collectively to tear apart the informants’ credibility. Needless to say, they are well aware of the Miami case. Kalina, who represents page

Greer, regularly focuses on the illegal drug use of the informants. He draws a large chart before the jury and in detail sketches out the witnesses’ regular and usually excessive use of marijuana, hashish, cocaine and LSD. He also details their alcohoi abuse. It’s not a very pretty picture.

wheels, but is nearly life-sized. A similar detail is the Prince’s steed, an adult-sized hobby horse: All who ride it wear dig nified expressions, which makes it both credible and hilarious. Like the besotted lovers and fairies of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, the characters meet with chaos as they go through the paces of their individual quests. There are subterranean murmurs of unrest, however, highlighted by some definitely un-stalwart behavior. For the Baker and his Wife, it’s clear that infertility makes them des perate, willing to steal and con-

In the second act, the play wright inserts a communal threat — the giant’s wife, seek ing revenge and stomping out villagers. The new plot seems tacked on, messagey and, in this production, under-rehearsed. There are some false starts and a despon dent tone — not much of a surprise, given the death toll. Still, the Lyric company soldiers on. Cinderella comes into her own, forming a little emer gency nuclear family with the Baker and his baby, joined by orphans Red Ridinghood and Jack.

witness stand, Johnson testified he wasn’t sure if the bruises were visible, claiming he hadn’t had the opportunity to look in a mirror. And, he said, he couldn't recall if he had told the Americans about the beating, contradicting his previous testi mony. Another tactic used regular ly by the defense is to hammer home this point: the lives of the witnesses are in the hands o f the government lawyers lis tening attentively from the prosecution table, “The government holds the keys to you getting less than 10 years in jail,” Kalina asked Peryea Friday afternoon. “Correct?”

The ho|>? is that, as was the case In South Florida, the Burlington jury will be so turned, off by the ./ governments witnesses, they’ll ' return a verdict that will be the second “impossible victory” in a major federal drug case. The government, however, is count ing on achieving a very possible victory that reflects the out come of the vast majority of federal drug cases — “guilty.” □

if greater emphasis is placed on cultural tourism. “W ith proper education and promo tion, people will beat a path to our door because of the splendors inside our borders.” Vermont must also ward off threats to its heritage, Andreis warns. N ot long ago, he found a flyer in his Salisbury mailbox from a company that specializes in the refurbishing, resale — and removal — of old Vermont barns. Several architecturally significant farm structures from Vermon t can now be seen on eastern Long Island and other non-Vermont * locales, where they are as out of context as the London Bridge is in Arizona. Wal-Mart and other mega stores pose a different kind of threat to Vermont’s identity, the historian warns. “The danger here is what they’ll do to our communities,” says Andres. “If we allow homoge nization to occur, we’ll have lost what is distinctively Vermont.” □

FILM QUIZ MAKING FACES Time once again for

leaItemas a io ordered the murder ol

grabbed by an unsuspecting college student en route to a Mexican vacation resort to meet his girl friend’s parents for the first time. Bland newcomer Andy Comeau plays the student. Kristy Swansor the love of his life. And if you didn’t know you were in trouble back there at the airport, here’s an entertainment omen you can’t miss: Her parents are played by Dyan Cannon and George Hamiltor What is this, “Love American Style?” “The Love Boat?” Whatever hope one might’ve had that the oh-so-kooky premise would yield equally outre laughs abandoned once and for all as soon as Comeau and company settle in at their south-of-the-border hotel. The minute the kid discovers what he’s got in his bag and decides to keep the mix-up secret from his girlfriend’s mother and father, the film degenerates into a tiresome, utterly cartoonlike serii of sketches in which various people keep almost finding out about the heads. This is the kind of gaj that, in the hands of an inventive writer, might make for a few moments of fun. Eight Heads writerdirector Tom Schulman displays almost no inventiveness, however, but attempts to stretch the gag out for nearly two hours. Aside from a couple of sarcastic asides courtesy of David Spade in a minor role, the film has almost no comic bite —• much less the sort of dark wit you might expect from a story with so black

our famous facial amalgam in which we fuse portions of two well-known per sonalities into one complete stranger. Guess who?

ARIES

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): I >med dreamt that money suddenly sprouted on a tree outside your home. Large denomination leaves were swaying there in the breeze, ripe and ready to pick. Only trouble was, you were nowhere in the vicinity. You’d gone down to the liquor store to buy 20 lottery tickets. After that you stopped in at a bingo game for a while, then entered a sweepstakes at the record store, and finally headed over to the race track to waste some cash Betting on the horses. Meanwhile, a crowd had gathered at your money tree and plucked it clean. Dream interpretation: Don’t be waiting at the bus station when your ship comes in.

Taking her feet in his hands, the healer proceeded to massage just that part o f her body for the next half hour. Amazingly, she was cured, and checked out o f the hospital the next day. The moral o f the story, Gemini: To turn your upcoming spiritual emergency into a spiritual emergence, be very good to the part o f you that anchors you to the earth.

believe that the next few weeks will be such a time.

astrological destiny it makes perfect sense. As you take inventory o f which influences you want to keep in your life and which you don’t, I suggest you borrow my six-year-old daughter Zoe’s rating system. To those things you like, squeal “YUM!” To those that feel irrelevant, ambiguous or just plain gross, snarl “YUCK!”

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Comedian Ellen DeGeneres is by no means the only Aquarian who’s found the courage to lay bare the whole truth and nothing but the truth about herself. Last weekend my Aquarian cousin Ruth, who has often given us the impression that she’s aligned with the principles o f feminism, confessed that she’s actually a Republican!

Love .

co m u ew n

Dear Lola, Please define great sex. My friends and I were talking about cur own per sonal experiences and then tried to create a working definition. In the process, we also discovered that we have remarkably dif ferent desires. And then we were wonder ing how we developed them. Why do we like what we like? — Ponderous in Plattsburgh Dear Ponderous, Great sex can only be defined by the ones — or twos having it. As you found out, what you like has nothing to do with your friends' fetishes, your desires are the culmination of your sexual, spiri tual and secular experiences. Great sex, in my opinion, requires all three. Not that a meaningless, raucous romp doesn't have its merits. But by adding love, le petit mort becomes larger than life. —

With love,

Jala

It’s a ride, not a race. The A ID S Ride is about commitment, not speed. You set your own pace, so you can ride as quickly or as leisurely as you like. And it’s for anyone who wants to get off the sidelines o f life and grow. Riders o f all ages, from all walks o f life, will bicycle three days through some of the most spectacular scenery in Am erica It will raise millions o f dollars for A ID S services in Boston, and leave you a changed person.

No way, I could never do that, could I? The Ride is not easy.. .nothing this gratifying is. It’s demanding and challenging.. .and you can do it! Thousands o f people have proven it The Ride is your chance to stop thinking and start acting.. .to stop wishing for change and start doing something to create it It’s about setting a goal and proving you can meet it And through the organized training rides we offer throughout the year; your strength, stamina and confidence will build.

Taking action has never mattered more. In any cause there are remarkable people who give o f themselves to make a difference. They’re defined by courage and nobility, risk and sacrifice... not hoping for easy answers. Easy doesn’t cut it when A ID S is the leading killer o f people ages 25-44.
