On the occasion of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, men across Chittenden County are pledging to stand together against violence against women, children, and other men. W E B E L I E V E in the basic h u m a n right for all people to live a life free of violence in their home and communities. We understand that m a n y men continue to violate this right through acts of emotional and physical abuse against women and children in particular, but also against other men, . . : N , and w e recognize that we, as men, have been silent too long. WE, T H E U N D E R S I G N E D , publicly commit ourselves to being non-violent in o u r own lives; to creating loving, nurturing and respectful relationships in our families; to acting as non-violent role models for boys and other men; and to holding each other accountable for violence. We commit ourselves to listening to, learning from, and actively supporting survivors of domestic violence and the organizations that Support them. W E C E L E B R A T E the strength and courage of women, children, and men, w h o have survived abuse, and w e dedicate this pledge to them.

weather transports tion? My ideal warm-weather transportation is... a sailboat.

— Kate Sylvester UVM graduating senior Burlington

DIVERSE P O E T S It's too bad that Cathy Resmer has taken the "Us-Them" tack in her response to the Parini-Pack anthology of New England poetry [Write O n , May 1]. There is and always has been plenty of room for all kinds of writers, and to rank poets by their livelihood is not useful. In fact I recently had a conversation with [Burlington City Arts Director] Doreen Kraft in which we reminisced about the lost and gone old days of the Firehouse open readings, when writers of all persuasions, employments and abilities used happily to present themselves and their work to one another... and to whomever used to wander in from the street. No animus such as displays itself in her use of the phrase "academic poetry industry" manifested itself then. In this spirit of name-calling, let me say that her notion that poets who are teachers are somehow insulated from reality and that their poetry has little to do with real life (i.e., the one lived by the writers she admires) is old, worn-out, unnecessary and stupid. And then, political identity was not, I would guess, a criteri-

on on the basis of which the editors chose the poems included in this anthology. O n e can only regret the omission of poems about Wal-Mart and, especially, about animal psychics, not to mention the underlying racism which resulted in not one single poem about a landscaper of color. T h a t the majority of poets included in the anthology (myself among them, it here needs to be said) are also teachers (again, among them myself) seems to me a good thing. Poetry, like any art, needs to be taught from more than a theoretical point of view. Finally, I might also mention that there is not one of the poets she mentions as having transcended the need for academic credentials who has not been or is not still a teacher. — J o h n Engels Burlington C A R T O O N OFFENSIVE In a time when all Catholics are greatly concerned and troubled by the horrific events now being exposed by the clergy abuse scandal, this "cartoon" [Dug Nap's "Down to Earth," April 24] is hardly funny.

I have looked forward to most issues of Seven Days since the beginning, but that is the last issue which will come to my home unless there is a public apology by Seven Days. This is not the first offensive thing in your paper, but it is surely one of the worst. Child abuse [by the] clergy or the general population is no laughing matter. — Janice Wilkens South Burlington FREED C O N F L I C T E D I'm writing to compliment Peter Freyne on a superb piece of on-the-ground reporting directly tying Speaker Walter Freed to tobacco industry profits [Inside Track, April 3]. Speaker Freed owns as many as four convenience stores that sell tobacco, according to an Associated Press story. T h e store that Peter Freyne reported on is directly over the border from New York and the difference in cigarette taxes between Vermont and New York is currently $1.06 per pack. It's no surprise that cigarette sales are very brisk, as Peter reported.

are selling hundreds of thousands of dollars of cigarettes a year, yet he is voting on and controlling the debate over the a m o u n t of cigarette taxes Vermonters pay. Peter Freyne has documented a clear and compelling conflict of interest. Unfortunately, the Vermont Legislature has some of the weakest conflict-of-interest laws in the country. So for now, Speaker Freed can continue to keep cigarette taxes down and pocket the profits at his convenience stores. — Richard Watts Hinesburg

The Politics of Pot Medical marijuana has clearly been the surprise issue of the 2002 Vermont legislative session. Who would have thought the Republican House that is so conservative on sex and "morality" would be so liberal on grass? As you know, the House adopted a medical marijuana bill that would allow sick and suffering Vermonters legal relief for their pain. They could get a doctor's okay and avoid prosecution by the state of Vermont. Progressive State Rep. David Zuckerman, the lead sponsor, deserves a gold star for his leadership on this one. The Intervale vegetable farmer's intelligent, respectful approach won the day. Farmer Dave built an impressive coalition comprising folks who disagree on«almost everything else.

One example of what the press should not know, he said, was the "behind-closed-doors meetings" he had a few years ago with Robert Schad, the Canadian who brought the big Husky plant to Milton, Vermont. "Had those meetings been public," said the Guv, "and it'd been known that Robert Schad and I were meeting, Husky wouldn't be here today." Really? "People need to have the ability to come to the governor and have private discussions with the governor," he continued. "I don't think that is in the public interest to know. In fact I think it's in the public interest that the public not know." Can't wait until he runs the whole country, eh?

Curses, Foiled Again W h e n a clerk tried to detain a shoplifting suspect at a store in Irondequoit, New York, the woman escaped and fled in a minivan. Police had little trouble identifying the 19-year-old suspect. She left behind her purse and her 7-month-old baby. • A 39-year-old man in the Swedish city of Malmo pried open the elevator doors of a building on his way to break into a basement studio apartment but became trapped once inside because the elevator was designed to lock itself if the doors were opened by force. Desperate to get out, the man ripped out electric cables, smashed windows in the doors and tried to start a fire to set off the alarm and s u m m o n the fire department. His efforts failed, however, and he spent 11 hours trapped in the elevator until maintenance workers discovered him and notified police.

and through two fences while trying to back out of his driveway. Ungerman told Trooper Ron Greasley that the sequence of events began when he hit the accelerator instead of the brake and crashed through the wall of his garage. H e backed up and hit a fence, then kept backing up across the street and hit a neighbor's house. H e continued backing up, crashed through another fence, hit a utility box and smashed into another house. W h e n the homeowner confronted Ungerman and told him he needed to drive forward, Ungerman said he thought he had been going forward. H e then shifted into drive, retraced his route and parked in his driveway. H e was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving.

Tokyo's Daiko Research Office estimates that the field comprises a dozen firms, mainly in Tokyo and Osaka, which earn tens of millions of dollars a year handling hundreds of cases. Complex jobs run as high as $150,000. Wakaresaseya attribute their booming business to Japan's education system and family structure, weaker morality in modern times and new Internet and cell-phone technologies, which make it easier to get involved with strangers but no less difficult to sever ties. "While most people in foreign countries wouldn't think of hiring someone to arrange a breakup, young Japanese these days think they can pay away their problems," Yasuyuki Takase, president of Daiko Research, told the Los Angeles Times.

ell, well. I haven't had so much reader mail since the good old days when Matt Stickney wore dresses to school. You should've seen me then, boys and girls — battling the "Transsexual Menace" all by myself. Great big ogresses with placards and bullhorns, and nothing on my side to fight with but my poor, stumbling pen. And a column whose name ought to alert even the unsophisticated reader to its purpose and intentions. As my dear friend Dr. David Neiweem has been heard to exclaim, "Well, they don't call it Cuddly Call!" Oddly, there seems to be no a n t o n y m for a "crank," which my thesaurus defines successively as an "eccentric," a "fanatic," an "illtempered person" and a "malcontent." W h a t , indeed, could be the opposite of these uncivil characteristics? Euan Bear is right when she says, in last I week's mail, "Kurth is Kurth and he doesn't speak for me. H e speaks for himself." John Patrick Bowles is J also right in saying that it wasn't the Israeli Army that wiped out the refugee IE camps at Sabra and Chatila, but a "Christian-Arab Phalange militia." My mistake. Having first surrounded and blocked exit from the camps, the I D F then promptly opened the gates to the Phalange and did nothing to stop the slaughter that followed. It was on this question of relative culpability that Sharon won his libel actions against Time magazine. H e can bring action against me if he likes, but he can't get blood from a stone.

in the other direction! Trust me. This has nothing to do with whether you believe in God or not. You just scram, skedaddle, and don't look back! Pardon me, it was that bit about Dubya's leadership that deranged me for a minute. " O u r nation must come together to unite," spake the new messiah. "I don't want to get rid of the death penalty, just the death tax." And, at a press conference, when asked what Americans should be looking for, exactly, in suspected terrorists: "You know, if you find a person that you've never seen before getting in a crop-duster that doesn't belong to you, report it..." For those who aren't Newsweek subscribers,

"Our nation must come together to unite," spake i the new messiah. "I don't want to get rid of the death enaltv, iust the death tax."

So enough with the priests, already! I'm sick of these religions and their morals and wars. W h e n Newsweek arrives with a cover story that asks, "What Would Jesus Do?" we're no longer talking about the sexual abuse of minors. And when The Washington Post reports that George Dubya Bush "is God's man at this hour" among Christian fundamentalists, some kind of bell ought to go off in our heads. In deep Christianity, the December resignation of Pat Robertson as president of the Christian Coalition is seen as a kind of beheading of John the Baptist — without the Salome dance — a necessary evil to make room for the real thing. "I think Robertson stepped down because the position has already been filled," says a pious Gary Bauer, Dubya's one-time campaign foe. "There was already a great deal of identification with the president before 9-11 in the world of the Christian right, and the nature of this war is such that it's heightened the sense that a man of G o d is in the White House." A homily currently making the rounds among believers insists, "God knew something we didn't... H e had a knowledge nobody else had: He knew George Bush had the ability to lead in this compelling way." Great. I've got some advice for the next generations, if there are any. Listen carefully: If you ever, ever hear people tell you they've got God on their side, run just as fast as you can

I'll spare you the cost of its "Jesus" issue by saying it never answers the question: W h a t would Jesus do? We know that Jesus wept before entering Jerusalem for the last time, and we suspect H e might regard endless acts of violence, vengeance and warfare as fundamentally more sinful than anything to do with sex, sexuality, homosexuality, celibacy, chastity, the gender of His priests, etc. This is, of course, a humanist view of religion, entirely out of touch with the mysteries. I had a great-grand aunt who was a Universalist faith healer, a sort of Victorian Marianne Williamson, but it was a long time ago and it doesn't qualify me to match my brains against the faithful. As Newsweek reports: "Theological arguments are often a wilderness of mirrors: Appeals to Scripture and tradition can be made in the service of completely different points of view." T h e section on " T h e Gay Dilemma" is equally helpful: "If you look at people who are psychologically forced to deny their sexual natures, experts say, you will likely find a subset that will cross the line into abusive behavior — in these cases with the young, who are often the most available and malleable targets." This is a terrible libel against priests and homosexual men. C u t into any "subset" you want and you'll find the same thing. A n d women, look out. Newsweek warns: "Churches are not really democracies — Rome especially — and the Vatican won't hear of factoring in females." For that matter, the Vatican is a sovereign state, and it could be argued that all of its priests, in America or anywhere, have diplomatic immunity. W h y not? If they can give annulments to Princess Caroline, they can do anything. (7)

he bitter legislative struggle currently taking place over the Champion land in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom is creating some strange political bedfellows. Many of the traditional political alliances remain firmly in place: the loggers, for example, are still hugging the Republicans and the environmentalists are hugging the Democrats. But the state's newest major political party, the Progressives, are planting themselves where few thought they would go — advocating logging in an area designated as an ecological preserve. To recap: T h e 133,000 acres of land formerly owned by the Champion Paper Corporation was purchased by a coalition of state, private and corporate interests in 1999 in a well-intentioned effort to preserve the land, guarantee public access to it, and maintain much of it as a working forest. But when the ideals were translated into a working plan, the battle lines were drawn between sports people and

to environmentalists: loggers, who are demanding unfettered access, and the environmentalists, who want to prohibit logging and motorized vehicles on the most ecologically sensitive 10 percent of the land. T h e Progressive Party's figurehead, Anthony Pollina, a candidate for lieutenant governor, stunned many earlier this year when he appeared at a sportsmen's forum and declared his support. Borrowing from the language of the loggers and snowmobilers, Pollina couches his opposition to the state's plan in the terminology of "good government." H e claims the process that led to the preservation easements wasn't open to the public. "While I support the concept of protected wilderness areas," said Pollina, "I'm concerned about how this plan was put in place. We have to do this in an honest and upfront manner." But to supporters of the state's plan to prohibit commercial logging and motorized vehicles in just 12,500 acres, Pollina's reasoning doesn't hold up. "It's just not true that this process wasn't open," declares Representative David Deen, a member of the House's Natural Resources Committee and the conference committee that wrangled countless hours over the plan. "We took testimony, we hired experts, and we held hearings. This process was as open as , any that I've been a part of in the legislature." Earlier this year, Pollina held his own private meeting with the two sides in the Progs' Montpelier headquarters. T h e goal was to draft a compromise between the increasingly bitter foes to ] could build political bridges. It failed.... ^ ^ $ I", I "We've compromised eriough," declaredDeem * "I wanted 22,000 acres protected and to remain wild with old growth, and we cut that nearly in half. We all made compromises and reached an agreement, but now they want to start all over." Pollina and his party, via an a m e n d m e n t introduced by Prog Representative Carina Driscoll of Burlington, have called for a compromise that would allow some logging on the protected land, but only logging that would "benefit wildlife."

"That's just a foot in the door for loggers," said Anne Peterman, director of the Burlington-based Alliance for Social and Ecological Justice. "While they claim this logging benefits wildlife, the truth is it only benefits the edge species like deer and grouse in the short term, while damaging hundreds of other sensitive species in the long run. It's a really old and discredited trick." To many, Pollina's decision to support those working to scuttle the Champion land deal is a sad reminder of Bernie Sanders' approach to environmentalists. "The Progressives are just pandering to Northeast Kingdom voters and taking their liberal base for granted," suggests Randy Koch, the chairman of the Progressive Party's town caucus in Calais. "But what disturbs me most is that Pollina seems to be saying one thing to his liberal supporters and then something else to the loggers and snowmobilers." There's no question the so-called "Bernie Republicans" in the Northeast Kingdom are essential for any statewide Progressive Party victory. Sanders has spent more than a decade confounding political scientists with his appeal among largely conservative voters in the Kingdom. Pollina must be hoping that appeal will rub off on his own electoral c efforts by standing up against state plans for the Champion lands. "There's a high level of resentment among working people that the system isn't working for them," said Democrat Senator Dick McCormack. "And Pollina's trying to do what Bernie did by tapping into that resentment. T h e problem is, Pollina's picked the wrong issue and the wrong enemy." Pollina scoffs at such notions, asking, "When did Dick McCormack become a political consultant?" Pollina's triangulation on the Champion land issue, however, is a far cry from the plainspoken populism the Progressive Party generally offers as an alternative to the two-party political system. O n the one hand he's all for protected areas, but on the other he's planted himself firmly in the camp of those despising anything to do with public ownership and protection of land. Brian Tokar, an author and environmental educator with the Plainfield-based Institute for Social Ecology, believes the problem is less about Pollina than the failure of the state's environmental movement to build an effective grassroots base. It's not surprising that politicians would run to where the action is. - ..: ^ .; r-;• > "Every environmental group in Montpelier is vested almost totally itl working behind the scenes in the legislature," says Tokar. "Which means, ike the property-rights "folks, they don't have a assroots presence, and they're operating completethe whim of the state bureaucracy to determine when they have a victory and when they don't." ->*£- , v ^ , 'J W i t h the legislature set to adjourn iri the next couple of weeks, the issue of the Champion land will be settled soon. There's only one sure outcome: N o one will be entirely happy. ® Michael Colby can be reached at mcolby@ adelphia.org.

Scene. from B Y DONALD M A U R I C E K R E I S

f a picture is worth a thousand words, Above and Beyond tells a big story about development — and the evolution of architecture — in Vermont. Published this year by the American Planning Association, the book is written by Burlingtonbased land-use experts Julie Campoli and Elizabeth Humstone and illustrated with images mostly from aerial photographer Alex MacLean. Above and Beyond is an atypical Vermont picture book, however, because it eschews the traditional postcard scenes and shows the inhabited parts of the Green Mountain State as they really are — ugly.

Rutland. H e has photographed a row of classic 19th-century commercial buildings with street-level storefronts and, overhead, finely crafted brickwork, windows and cornices decorated in the charming styles of that era — Italianate, Greek Revival and French Mansard. Roughly in the

comprise a vibrant downtown streetscape. But the story takes a turn for the worse in the next photograph. MacLean's lens has zoomed across the street to reveal a sprawling, one-story, 75,000square-foot Wal-Mart, separated from Merchants' Row by a vast,

blight, minus the broken windows and graffiti. Providing a broad view, literally, of what has happened to Vermont's land over the past 50 years or so is the objective of Above and Beyond. Since Humstone and Campoli both live in Vermont's largest metrop-

themes in the current relationship of Vermonters to the land: incremental change; urban centers and urban "edges"; fragmentation; the lust for privacy and the resulting pre-eminence of private spaces over the public realm; the phenomenon of bigger-asbetter in both residential and commercial spheres; and the effect of the automobile. T h e book's emphasis on photos may earn it a place on coffee tables, but its discourse certainly will give readers something to talk about while getting caffeinated. In fact, Above and Beyond makes great reading „ for New Englanders who may be weary of foliage, steeples and covered bridges. But the earnest and detailed manifesto that accompanies each photo is hardly cynical. T h e authors have made it

their business to foster a sense of responsibility to Vermont's landscape. Humstone is executive director of the Vermont Forum on Sprawl, and Campoli is a principal in the Burlington-based landscape architecture and planning firm Terra Firma Urban Design. Nobody comes to Vermont, either by birth or migration, with the explicit intention of ruining their surroundings, the authors acknowledge. Their pitch is to get people to notice the unintended consequences of their individual choices. As Jonathan Rauch recently pointed out in the Atlantic Monthly, it's been known since the 1930s that human settlements array themselves in certain predictable mathematical patterns, to which homeowners and even developers are perfectly oblivious. This is

called Zipf's Law, named for the Harvard linguist who also figured out, oddly, that the frequency of words in written English assumes a similar pattern. Essentially, Campoli, H u m stone and MacLean are on a campaign to "repeal" Zipf's Law by getting people to see these patterns and consciously thwart them. "There is often no clear turning point, only a slow evolution" with regard to development, they point out, describing and illustrating how individual decisions create consequences that none of the individual actors intended. Examples: moving a factory out of downtown and near an interstate highway exit; widening commercial thoroughfares; designing a new neighborhood not as part of a village's street grid but as a self-contained enclave; building a dream home on five

acres instead of a half-acre. Above and Beyonds compelling documention of these unintended consequences is no mere restatement of the points made by the classics cited in its bibliography — everything from Jane Holtz Kay's anti-automobile rant Asphalt Nation to Jane Jacobs' fabled 1961 defense of urban street life, The Death and Life of Great American Cities. Anyone can write or talk about these things, but it is quite another to prove them. Above and Beyond offers irrefutable evidence. Consider the series of photographs showing the "progression" of the National Life Insurance C o m p a n y in Montpelier. T h e company has grown through six headquarters, leaving some decent architectural heritage in its wake — including a great Richardson Romanesque

building on State Street, now occupied by the Vermont Agriculture Department. Ultimately, however, the insurance company settled on a bluff far beyond the city center in the isolated, fortresslike office park that is every 1-89 traveler's first glimpse of Vermont's capital city. It is not just this "migration to the edge" with its selfish consumption of undeveloped land that so Outliers Campoli, Humstone and MacLean. T h e y are also concerned about a collective withdrawal from the town square. "As a nation we've become skilled at creating private space, but we've fallen short on creating spaces together," they argue. " O u r dwellings have grown and become more luxurious while our community spaces have shrunk." Successful alternatives to this

trend proved difficult to find and photograph, but Above and Beyond does include the 81-unit condominium complex at the corner of Battery and College streets in Burlington. Designed by Truex Cullins & Partners, the building features a distinctively undulating facade that adds welcome texture and variety to the downtown streetscape. Its lake views and city conveniences were presumably sufficient to convince well-heeled homebuyers to forego their country-estate dreams. T h e authors contrast this project's downtown-revitalizing land-use choice with the paved-paradise that is Shelburne Road. In extolling the virtue of such choices, H u m s t o n e and Campoli can be credited with consistency. Vermont has its share of hypocrites who pontificate against continued on page 13a

Scene from Above continued from page 11a sprawl and then drive their SUVs to secluded homes on fiveacre subdivisions of what used to be farms or forests. Campoli and Humstone live in bungalow-style homes on small plots in Burlington. Humstone walks a mile to her downtown office; Campoli walks downstairs to hers. MacLean, also a bungalowdweller, lives in a Boston suburb on a somewhat less commendable 1.2-acre plot. "I've been doing research in this field for 15 years, so it's pretty likely that what I learned would rub off on how I live," Campoli reports in an interview. She's not optimistic about most people modifying their behavior in order to help sustain the rural landscape, however. "Just as sprawl is a multi-faceted problem," she continues, "the solution, if it comes at all, will be from a hundred different directions, and through small gestures as well as big ones." For example, while waiting around for something that will make cars impractical, Campoli and her colleagues suggest at least rethinking where automobiles are stored. "Cars can be tucked under and behind buildings," they point out. T h e y credit San Francisco architect Daniel Soloman with having figured out how to do so. However, the authors of Above and Beyond appear to have little hope that architecture will become part of the solution rather than part of the problem. They applaud Wal-Mart for building in downtown Rutland rather than the outskirts, but fail to propose a world in which such blocky monoliths are no longer built. W i t h regard to housing, the authors point out that "highquality design can make higherdensity units attractive," but their proffered idea of such a design is a pseudo-Victorian development on lots — admittedly compact — in Stowe. A similar architecture of false references, Seaside in Florida, was used as the backdrop for the film The Truman Show for good reason: T h e effect is bland, conformist and nostalgic for a village life that never really existed. It's been a half-century since a gig in the San Francisco suburbs inspired folksinger Malvina Reynolds to write a song — later made famous by Pete Seeger — about "little boxes on the hillside, little boxes made of tickytacky." Above and Beyond erases any doubt that ticky-tacky has spread to Vermont fields and hillsides. T h u s it's worth noting that Reynolds and Seeger weren't just singing about sprawl; they were also railing against conformity, lack of imagination and the bad buildings that result. ©

Fans gets trapped up in a sing-a-long Sound of Music

lmost everyone knows the lyrics to at least one song from The Sound of Music. I know a 6-year-old who can even tell the difference between the Mary Martin Broadway soundtrack and the Julie Andrews movie version, which is "inferior" in his opinion. Say what you might about it, The Sound of Music is still a film phenomenon, breaking theater records 35 years after its debut.

PAWS AND REFLECT

What's different these days, though, is that many audience members show up for screenings dressed like nuns. Others come as Brown Paper Packages or Girls in White Dresses, and there's always the odd Doe A Deer. One recent fan was a yellow-lycrasuited guy calling himself Ray, a Drop of Golden Sun. And they all sing at the top of their lungs.

Montreal beginning May 24. Think of it as a family-friendly Rocky Horror Picture Show. "People don't know what to make of it," says Canadian promoter Warren Kotler. "They think, 'Is it a movie, karaoke, or is it a show?'" It's all three, and the combination is a commercial blockbuster. Whether you come in costume, to see the costumes, or just to belt out all those memorable songs, this version of the von Trapp tale seems to have something for everyone. Its popularity has surprised even the original promoters in England. The cinema sensation started in 1999, at London's Prince Charles Cinema, where it was scheduled for an eight-show run. According to press accounts, demand for tickets was so great that the theater's answering machine blew up. Bi-weekly shows are still going on. Elton John bought all the seats in the cinema one night for a private party — wimple required. The Sing-A-Long Sound of Music toured the United Kingdom in 2000, then came to North America, where it has sold out venue after venue. A single show last fall at the Hollywood Bowl drew 18,000. T h e recent run in Toronto drew upwards of 40,000.

T h e evening begins with a parade of costumes and a bestcostume competition. T h e emcee — usually a local entertainment personality — winnows the entrants down to aiound 15, and the winner is chosen according to an "applause-o-meter." T h e emcee then leads the audience through a vocal Warm-up and explains how to use the items in the provided "Magic Moments Pack."

T h e n comes the main event: the original 1965 film in glorious, full-screen Technicolor with subtitled musical numbers — the better to sing along with.

Meaning that's have been created to rout out the when a few drag queens and leather guys — dressed as Nazis, of course — are likely to show up, and the crowd may be more tuned in to innuendos in the film's story. Never mind the falling-in-love part; plenty of sexual tension and dangerous love occur along the way. A Sound of Music persona is not required for attendance, though. Kotler says only about 20 percent of the audience arrives in costume. T h e n again, the other 80 percent might be dressed as "Me, A N a m e I Call Myself."

For example, everyone in the theater receives a swatch of curtain cloth when they come in. At the point in the film where poor Maria, alone in her room, wonde-s how she can clothe the kids, everyone in the audience waves their little piece of fabric and yells, "The curtains, Maria! Use

Word-of-mouth is really what sells this event, and'advance sales in Montreal are picking up as people learn more about it. T h e draw, Kotler believes, is that "the experience harkens back to an easier time in life. It's more like vaudeville than theater or a movie."

In this left-leaning — and politically correct — environment, Griffin's non-condemning portraits of white supremacists challenge the unspoken code of liberalism while pushing the envelope of academic freedom. Critics claim Griffin is an apologist for white supremacists, that he hides his true beliefs behind the screen of academia. But these charges have come mainly from offcampus. Aside from a short piece about his parenting article in the student-run Cynic, Griffin's writings have made barely a ripple at his home institution.

now-defunct e-book subsidiary of Barnes & Noble. His agent had shopped the book around to major publishers, who consistently passed it over. "Nobody said they had political or cultural objections to the book," Griffin recalls. "They just said, 'Nobody's interested in this book." Nevertheless, Fame sprang to life online, ascending to mightywords' number-one slot and holding steady for the rest of the fall. Griffin's book is now available through the vanity press First Books Library. If you're still drawing a blank at the name William Pierce, perhaps you'll recognize his opus. Under the pen name Andrew Macdonald, Pierce wrote The Turner Diaries, a futuristic race-war novel that has served as a primer for the radical

B©©R. ized, most revolutionary neo-Nazi organization in America." In the early '80s, National Alliance members in the Pacific Northwest formed a cell called T h e Order, taking its name from the elite group in The Turner Diaries. T h e y carried out bank robberies and murders, including that of Denver radio talk-show host Allan Berg in 1984. T h e right wing has also embraced Griffin's book about Pierce — as is evident in certain corners of the Internet. Raves have come from www.Ilovewhitefolks. com, and customer reviewers on Amazon.com award it five stars before launching into their own politics. O n e of the latter called Fame a "European American 'must-read' book" that "should be on the top of every patriot's reading

list. Unlike the major media that paint ANY pro-white advocist [sic] as a devilworshipping, homicidal, toothless spewer of race hating nonsense — this book describes the reality and determination behind a man that is a true leader in the Aryan J movement. A man that dares to tell the truth is always feared... Dr. William L. Pierce." O n Pierce's own National Alliance Web site, just above the "Ethnic Cleansing" video game, you can find a description of Griffin's book, with a link to its page on Amazon. "People who read Dr. Griffin's book themselves will understand why New York publishers are afraid of it. It is an extensive, perceptive, objective and easily assimilable synopsis of the National Alliance message, as well as a fair-minded portrait of Dr. Pierce." Griffin does not have a problem with Pierce promoting his book. "That's his call," the professor says. "I live a very private life. I write these things, I get them out. In a way, it's sort of an artist's mentality: I paint a picture, I do it the best I can... Am I proud of this book? Yes. Would I do it again? Yes. Would I think that it's a positive contribution? Yes. D o I think that everybody thinks that? No." Griffin makes no bones about the purpose of his Pierce bio. "It's not a book of advocacy or even a book of analysis or a critique. It's a book of explication," he says. "By looking at someone like Pierce in an anthropological way, you might be able to make more sense of mainstream American life." Professor Robert Nash defends his long-time colleague in the education department and points out the hypocrisy of those who judge him harshly. "As a journalist and participant observer, he is not affirming Pierce's views, but rather he is presenting the ideas and deeds of Pierce and others like him, in order to let his readers draw their own conclusions," Nash opines. "If he were doing exactly this kind of writing on more politically and educationally acceptable figures, there would be no controversy." Griffin also took an "anthropological"

approach in researching the inner educational workings of two families for the article he published in American Renaissance. Both chose to home-school their children in order to shield them from a youth culture that promotes "race mixing" and a school system they believe degrades their Western heritage. Griffin, whose earlier work focused on secondary education and the role of sports in children's lives, says he knew no professional journal would have accepted the piece. "I published very easily until I started to move to the right of center politically," he explains. "I believe there is censorship in America and what we read is managed. M u c h of what we know is not on the basis of direct experience, and one of the things [Fame] is about, tacitly, is the contrast between what I found and what investigative reporters say people are." Like his book on Pierce, Griffin's parenting article is not a polemic, but rather a vehicle for the views of his subjects. To the extent that he espouses an opinion in the story, it's a sense of respect for the parents' discipline and conviction, and the curiosity, intelligence and overall sociability of their children. "I wasn't writing a race article there," says the author. "I was writing an article about people for w h o m race was a central dimension of their life, in their identity... A lot of the people I met as a byproduct of writing this book did not fit the stereotype of what we're told. They were not ignorant, bigoted, hate-filled people who were preoccupied with minorities. I didn't see any of these parents teaching people to be anti-Semitic, or anti-minority. They were trying to ground these kids in their heritage, and I think a lot of people do that, whether it's the Jewish heritage or a political orientation." Chip Berlet, a senior analyst at the Boston-based Political Research Associates, has a different view. "This is a piece of journalism essentially promoting white separatist reality," he asserts. SPLC researcher Mark Potok adds, "This is a piece that nominally is reporting on some people whose views Griffin may

or may not share. I think that in five minutes of reading the piece any intelligent person can see that he is in every way defending and apologizing for these people."

riffin's attraction to the ideas of Pierce and other white-rights advocates may stem from his own working-class roots in the American heartland. T h e son of a barber and a homemaker, Griffin hails from St. Paul, Minnesota. H e was the first in his family to graduate from high school, not to mention college. Like many in his generation, he joined the Army as a means of escape. Ironically, the move might have cost him his chance to play professional baseball. A major-league scout found him after he'd signed up. W i t h the help of the G.I. bill, Griffin later earned a Ph.D. at the University of Minnesota. H e got tenure at U V M in 1980. N o w 61, Griffin says his background motivated him to work harder. "I thought I was going to starve," he says. "I hear all this talk about white privilege, and my people have never done anything but cut hair," Griffin says. "I want everybody to realize the promise of America — that means black and white and Asian and Jewish people, and whoever I've left out, but that includes a white boy from rural Vermont." Griffin claims he does not want any child "turned away from his heritage. I don't want him to feel that he has to be deferential or sacrificial to some other group or step aside. I think we're all in the front row in America, all of us, including white people," he adds, "and I don't want to hear anyone trashed." Those who track extremist hate groups in the U.S. are not moved by the professor's reasoning. " T h e point that Griffin never really makes is that Pierce is a Nazi — a genuine Nazi," asserts Potok. H e calls Griffin's book "a movement hagiography." "Here's a guy w h o came out of the American Nazi Party, who talks about the 'temporary unpleasantness' that will follow

his accession to power, and what the man is talking about is the murder of Jews, 'race mixers,' homosexuals, abortionists and G o d knows who else," says Potok. "This is the kind of thing Griffin daintily avoids, wearing his professor's cap." » Griffin intentionally steers clear of terms like "neo-Nazi" and "white supremacist" in The Fame of a Dead Man's Deeds. "I think you get deflected by talking about labels, it's a way to avoid the debate," he says. "If a reader wants to apply those labels, that's great, but I'm not going to start with them." O n e label Griffin does use is "white nationalist," starting with the subhead of his book. While this term has been used for years a m o n g the radical right, some critics, like Vanderbilt University Law professor Carol Swain, consider the expression part of a larger repackaging of white supremacy. "They have taken the multiculturalist argument and appropriated it to their own ends," says Swain, author of the forthcoming book, The New White Nationalism in America. "In a world where you have AfroArnerican, Latino-American and AsianAmerican, Euro-American doesn't sound that odd when you apply some sorts of racial reciprocity to it," she suggests. "Basically, [white nationalists] want to celebrate group pride and self-determination in the same way that minorities are encouraged to do it." An African-American, Swain says several factors have made the times ripe for a new ascendancy of white nationalists. Affirmative action, a disproportionate black-on-white violent crime rate, the rise in non-white immigration and the loss of high-wage jobs d u e to globalization, she argues, are all legitimate grievances that are being addressed mostly by groups on the far right. These factors, she predicts, will contribute to unprecedented racial conflict in America's future. Members of the more sophisticated wing of the white-nationalist movement are not your average Klansmen, Swain fur-

Organizations like Jared Taylor's New Century Foundation or the Council of Conservative Citizens may appeal to white people who would not join what they perceive to be a "hate" group. T h e journal American Renaissance does not engage in name-calling, nor does it espouse violence. Whitenationalist literature is often written in sophisticated language by writers with advanced degrees after their names.

His next book project is a Studs Terkel-styled oral history of ordinary folks — white folks — for w h o m race plays an important part in their identity. H e does not agree, however, with any of the pejoratives that occasionally find their way into his e-mail inbox. His colleague Robert Nash, a n d another member of the education faculty who wished to remain anonymous, concur that Griffin is no bigot. "In an ironic sense, Griffin wants to show multicultural pluralists like myself that we aren't really pluralists if we automatically rule out of order those views that oppose our own taken-for-granted, postmodern, liberal biases," offers Nash.

As a professor, she notes a strained climate of debate on ethnic issues, one in which whites seem reluctant to express their views on race for fear of being excoriated as "racists." Some of Griffin's own ideas echo Swain's point about multiculturalism. As Griffin argues, "You could say, if you were black, 'I identify with my race and I care about my people and I'm going to live my life committed to their well-being and I'm going to join with others," he says. "I don't think it would play very well if you said, 'I'm white, I'm proud of being white, I feel in solidarity with other white people and I'm committed to furthering the well-being of my people. I think that would be labeled as neo-Nazi or racist." Griffin concedes that his work on William Pierce altered his own views. "It has made me more conscious of race from a white perspective," he says. "It

"It's critical that professors have the freedom to explore the issues they want to explore," she says. "The marketplace of ideas is based on that freedom, and the freedom of debate as well. Does that mean I like the ideas that are being presented? No." T h e school has been "a wonderful place," according to Griffin, in his quarter-century at U V M . "There's been no pressure on me to desist or be silent. T h e modern version of McCarthyism does not exist at this university. W h a t I hope a university would be is a place where there's a full spectrum of ideas for students to encounter, and I hope that in some ways I'm contributing to that. "No matter what you believe," Griffin continues, "there's somebody very articulate on the other side, and it's not you and what you believe against the forces of darkness; it's more complicated than that."

om has a loving way of opening up the engine of her plane â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a brief, nondescript but vital task. She flips back the flap in the cowl near the nose and peeks inside, shaking her head at the black grit that has started to encrust the pistons. Someday soon she will have to clean them, as even a surface layer of grime can deteriorate the delicate parts. She checks the gas in the wings for the single droplet of water that could be fatal and surveys the windswept runway, watchful for dangerous spots of brake fluid. In the precise world of avionics, a lone impediment can keep a pilot grounded. And Mom can't stand to stay on the ground.

Mom Every few days, m y mother, Gail Isenberg, takes an N 6 1 5 5 Foxtrot cruising across the Champlain Valley. She bought the small, two-seater, 1974 prop plane last year in a timely business deal and, after fewer than three full years of flight school, she can pilot it on her own.

utes of inspecting every inch of her third child, she ushers m e into the passenger seat. M o m squeezes into the cockpit and grasps the yoke — she forbids m e from calling it a steering wheel — and we fasten our seatbelts and affix our headsets. "Clear prop!" she calls into the empty airstrip, and she slams the door. A few moments later the propeller is spinning, then it vanishes into a circular blur as the engine ignites. After a quick exchange with the control tower — coded gibberish to m e — we taxi onto the runway, facing the distant mountains. T h e pale walls of Burlington International stretch out behind us. "You ready?" she asks, her eyes gleaming. "All set," I say, suddenly

Today I'm flying with m y mother for the first time without an instructor. I watch, feeling a bit useless, as she performs the mysterious pre-flight check.

I hear the voice of the air traffic controller crackle in m y ears: "6155 Foxtrot, zero, one, maintain runway heading, clear for takeoff." We begin to accelerate. I feel the initial force pressing against my chest — and the 6155 Foxtrot is speeding down the tarmac. M y stomach burbles as we climb smoothly into the air. Looking down, I see a black

M o m was buying m e a bouquet back in May 1998 — celebrating the conclusion of my first year of college — and the florist cheerfully convinced her to enter a drawing for a free private flight. Amazingly, she won. She had forgotten that Addison C o u n t y has a small, functional airport, hidden behind a small wood in East Middlebury.

to her husband's influence. She He called a few days later and left a message on the answering machine: "Gail, for obvious reasons, I'm offering you a second flight." As chivalrous as the offer was, Mom was reluctant to fly again, and even less convinced that taking lessons was a wise idea. The expenses were significant: renting the plane, hiring an instructor, and even fueling the engine, at $2.80 a gallon for low-lead, would add up quickly. The Foxtrot, a very small aerobatic plane, takes 22.5 gallons of usable fuel, which lasts fewer than six hours. Costs aside, Mom's time was limited: She had jobs as an adjunct psychology professor and director of psychological services at an institute for the deaf. So she waited until

Still, the so-called "aviatrix" is far from extinct.

Perhaps more important, the men at the airfield have welcomed her from the get-go. The Middlebury airport is tiny, consisting of a single runway and no control tower.

High Mom continued from page 26a their teens, and all of them are male. W h e n she expressed her doubts to Danforth, he sent her a curt e-mail ensuring, "You are as welcome as anyone else." It's a testament to the smallplane community that M o m hasn't confronted antagonism

from her peers. "Without exception," she says, "I've been encouraged from the very beginning." Hanging out at the hangar has inspired her to explore the guts of the airplane. It's also changed her Christmas list — from knitting needles and shoes to screwdrivers and a Leatherman Super Tool. M o m had never really consid-

One Tier Higher Peter Oxford is well read on the history of flight and knows his women pilots. Oxford lives in Cornwall, where my mother also lives, and his house is packed with books about pilots and flight. Given the chance, he'll talk for hours in his calm, deep voice about notable American fliers — not the least of w h o m was his own grandmother, Nancy Hopkins Tier. Tier's epic life could inspire its own H B O miniseries: Born Nancy Hopkins at the turn of the last century, she was a precocious teen-ager who defied convention by taking a solo driving trip from Long Island to California, where her mother lived. Her mother angrily sent her home on the train, but this punishment didn't diminish Tier's enthusiasm. By the mid-1920s, she had become obsessed with airplane engines. "It was a very mechanical age," Oxford remarks. "Airplanes were very exciting, like computers are to us." In 1928, Tier caught the eye of Bob Gross, owner of the Viking Flying Boat Co. and inheritor of the original Kitty Hawk airplane. H e hired Tier to fly the Kitty Hawk, insisting that it was so easy to operate, "even a woman could fly it." Gross' trust in Tier was unprecedented. For several years, she had access to a variety of planes, and in 1930 she was the only woman to enter the Ford Reliability Tour. T h a t same year she flew to Ohio and landed in a rural field belonging to the Glenn family, where Tier met a young John Glenn and may have first encouraged the future astronaut to look skyward. Many of these accomplishments circulated as gossip in various New York society columns — Tier was the niece of celebrity Lady Astor, which drew attention to her escapades. But by the time she became a founding member of the Ninety-Nines, Tier had escaped the condescending sootiight. The excitement of her daring youth faded with* tKeImpression, and she decided "to do the motherly department," as Oxford puts it. She married an affluent loafer named Irving Tier and bore two children. But as war threatened to break out in Europe, President Roosevelt hoped to revamp the Army Air Corps — as the Air Force was then known — and established the Civil Air Patrol to spot German U-boats off the eastern seaboard. Tier enlisted and began training young pilots, who only a few years later would engage enemy fighters over France and the Philippines. "Grandma herself never carried bombs," Oxford says, without irony. 1 ier was an obsessive patriot — she regularly cleaned her Winchester rifle in case of German invasion. After an eventful career of instruction, medical drops and reconnaissance missions, she became the Civil Air Patrols commander for the state of Connecticut. Oxford describes the Civil Air Patrol as a "boy's club... It's an organization that a lot of women support, but this was a pretty groundbreaking thing." Once World War II ended, his grandmother was nostalgic for the old days. Like so many Rosie the Riveter-era women, Tier's career fell by the wayside, and most of her flying became recreational. She went on to win the New England Air Race in 1971, but as oil prices increased and the FAA tightened its regulations, the romance of flying began to fade. In her later years Tier established the International Women's Air & Space Museum in Cleveland, using many contacts, including John Glenn, to broaden the museum's appeal. She continued flying until 1993, when she suffered a stroke that damaged her vision. After a piloting career that spanned 60 years, Tier couldn't entirely let go of the yoke; she continued building model airplanes until her death in 1995. Oxford continues the family flying tradition by repairing small engines at the Middlebury airport and flying his own ultralight. H e rattles off the names of several other women who were important to flight, including Napoleon's balloonist M a d a m e Blanchard, America's first black female pilot Bessie Coleman, and Charles Lindbergh's wife, Anne Morrow Lindbergh, who helped publicize early flight. A casual friend of my mother's, Oxford notes that her plane and his grandmother's weren't very different. " T h e technology [of small prop planes] hasn't really advanced for nearly a century," he says. " T h e two planes are virtually the same thing."

ered buying her own plane until a casual get-together in September 2000 with Danforth and airline pilot Bill Schwartz. They were discussing the economics of recreational flying — j h e price of private lessons was making M o m uneasy. " Schwartz mentioned that he knew of a little plane for sale, a certain 6155 Foxtrot. Danforth remembered it, and suddenly both men were convinced my mother should buy it. For $25,000. At first this seemed outlandish to her — 25 grand is a lot of money even for practicing psychologists. But Danforth and Schwartz enthusiastically pitched it like this: Unlike a car, a plane always appreciates in value, guaranteeing a profit if she ever sold it. To own your plane and pay for space and fuel would eventually be a better deal than renting a plane for every lesson. Plus, once she got her license, she could fly on any clear day and park the Foxtrot in either the Burlington or Middlebury airport.

"I realized it was a good idea," M o m recalls. "And I turned to them and said, 'Byron, Bill, just one favor: Can you help me convince my husband?'"

itting next to M o m in the Foxtrot, I saw clearly that her life has changed dramatically. For years she has worked as a therapist and teacher. She's fluent in American Sign Language and has a bachelor's degree in music — your classic liberal Renaissance woman. Until four years ago, flying was as alien to her as lion hunting, and yet now she has a pilot's license and a plane. Her dog-eared logbook is filled with entries from hundreds of crosscountry hours. By September, M o m hopes to become a certified flight instructor and train others professionally — accepting the fact that flying can no longer be a hobby. Teaching is the best way to finance it. But M o m isn't thinking about any of these things right now, while we're sailing over the lush, flat countryside, passing the slim, silver bar of a jet, watching the sun blaze across Lake Champlain. She must devote all her attention to the wind currents, the clouds ahead and, above all, the little dials that keep her flying straight and safely. "I don't get in a plane and not have a little bit of fear," she confides. "But the rush is so much greater." We head toward the ground, skirting the mountains. As we arc around the Middlebury runway, the branches of pine trees reach up to the Foxtrot's belly. M o m zeroes in on the runway and the asphalt widens like a mouth. She's landing now, feeling the familiar jostle of tires hitting pavement. But even before her plane touches the ground, I can tell M o m is calculating how soon she can take off again. ®

Ms. Deborah L. Markowitz Secretary of State Redstone Building 26 Tcrracc Street, Drawer 09 Montpelier, VT 05609-1101 Dear Ms. Markowitz: It has come to my attention that your state is considering a measure requiring teens to obtain parental consent before piercing their flesh. While I share your revulsion with the stapled skin aesthetic, please be warned: regulating adolescent expression is a treacherous slope. Such a move will likely bear the same results as Tipper Gore's nefarious effort to label music with "explicit lyrics;" a dracenian approach will further the popularity of thai which the legislation seeks to curtail. Not only will your proposed initiative be a boon to out of state piercing palaces, it will quickly inflate the sedition status of freshly perforated teens. One need not look further than the cinema of the 1980s to sec the pitfalls of heavy-handed adult approaches. In Footloose . a young Kevin Bacon locates to a small conservative town and quickly incites his peers into a hedonistic insurgency of dancing and rock and roll. Stephen Kings' Children of the Corn provides another harrowing example of the reckless depravity that indignant teens are capable of when adults go too far. Having barely matured since high school, I can attest that kids thrive on the illusion that they are of an oppressed class. If you really want to keep the noses, lips, eyebrows, and tongues of your state's youth in tact, consider the following. Instruct local and state police to adopt a policy of benign profiling of rebellious teens. Foster this illusion and they'll have little need for vulgar decoration. To really eat their lunches, convince a few good humored high school principals, cops, and other authority figures to get piercings of their own - that will co-opt the fad in a hurry.

Take Burlington's most famous grill cook — Jon Lines of the landmark Oasis Diner on Bank Street. Boy, did he have a smile on his face Sunday morning. "Everybody said it was a wideopen race," said Lines. So he placed his bet based on twolegged, rather than four-legged, animals. Mr. Lines slapped his bet on a 5-13 exacta. An "exacta" is the first two horses across the line, in order. He said he picked War for their pedigrees or past performances, but for their trainers: Lukas.

After 25 years on the G M P board, the last 20 as chairman, Salmon told Seven Days this week he's stepping down. At Thursday's upcoming annual meeting at the Sheraton in South Burlington, we anticipate a colorful, quotable arid education-. al "Last Hurrah" speech to shareholders from one of Vermont's legendary warriors. Dancing with Bernie? — It's t h e

race that few, if any, savvy Vermont politicos have time for — Congressman Bernie Sanders' bid for reelection to a seventh term as Vermont's watchdog in Washington. Since his election to Congress in 1990, Ol' Bernardo has clearly ripened with age. In the early years, the Republican Party sent its best horses against him, but Sanders beat them all, including former G O P rising stars like John Carroll (1994) a n d Susan

Sweetser (1996). Bernie knocked them both out of the Vermont political arena. After Sweetser, the G O P essentially gave up. Unofficially, they've conceded the seat to Bernie for as long as he wants it. In the last election, Bernie scored his biggest landslide to date, a 69.2 percent - 1 8 . 3 percent trouncing of Republican oddball Karen Kerin, a smokyvoiced Royalton rabble-rouser. This time, two Rutland dreamers, Bill Meub a n d Gregory

host- an event at Burlington's . RatJis'son; Hotel from 111 .10 i f p.m.* > ** ... . Campaign Manager Peter Sterling tells us it's called "Dancing and Dialogue with Congressman Bernie Sanders." Admission is free. Donations accepted. There'll be tunes from DJ Joel Najman, unnamed "special" guests and a cash bar. Having had the unique privilege of covering Ol' Bernardo for 20 years, yours truly knows full well that he'll have no problemo with the "dialogue" portion of the evening's festivities. But Bernie Sanders dancing? "He'll do both," Sterling assured us. Now that's worth seeing. Progs Plug Skin Cream? —

Hey, there's a little capitalism in everyone — even Progressives. Besides, we all want to look younger, right? Still, it's quite the shockeroo to find corporate advertising on the recent batch of Progressive Legislative Updates shipped out over the Internet by the Vermont Progressive Party. Each Friday afternoon one of the four Prog lawmakers pumps out a weekly update on the goings-on under the golden dome. The latest one also contained a pitch for the "Secret to Younger-Looking Skin in Weeks!" It's the perfect pitch for a political party top-heavy with aging baby boomers, eh? A click on the link leads Progressive Party members to Victoria Principal's "Secret Advanced Skin Care System" that "helps reverse-visible signs of aging and revitalizes your skin to a youthful glow." Cool. Progressive Party state chair Martha Abbott of Underhill was unaware of the advertising plugs the Progressive Party was pumping out with its political dispatches. The former Burlington city councilor quickly checked into the matter and promptly got back to us. "Apparently," said Ms. Abbott, "it's a function of the list-serve we use. We're looking into it. We're not sure what we think of it... We're not all that excited about." Hate to rub it in. Media Notes — Burlington Free Press environmental reporter and nature columnist Nancy Bazilchuk is heading to Norway. She tells Seven Days her husband has landed a job teaching plant physiology at a leading university there. "We thought it would be fun to live in another country for awhile," said Nancy. They'll be gone two or three years, she said. The Birkenstocks, er, Bazilchuks, are moving to the town of Trondheim, located on a deep fjord just below the Arctic Circle. "We have to load all our worldly goods into a 20-foot shipping container," said Nancy. "It's remarkable how much stuff you accumulate when you've got kids. Can you say tag sale?" Bon voyage/®

THE MUSIC OF

CLASS CLOWN, YOU NEED A HUG (self-released, CD) — In a follow-tip to last year's School's a Circus, Class Clown deliver their first full-length album, You Need a Hug, 13 songs about teen-age boredom and angst. This band of good kids with bad attitudes seems a little more together this time around, and they deliver in punk-pop style, adding 10 new songs to the three that were on their last EE The new songs are pretty catchy. The best tide has to be "While You Were at the Varsity Football Game, I was Smashing a TV. (Based on a True Story)," which is actually about exactly what it says it is. "Be Yourself" is a good independence anthem, which also shows Class Clown stretching in the subject-material department. The songs are all pretty much by-the-numbers third- or fourth-generation punk, but these boys are improving as players, singers and songwriters. I particularly liked "Amnesia" and "The Story of a Lonely Bum," both of which are fun and playful. The holdovers from the last disc are also some of my faves: "Seek and Destroy" and "Light Up Ahead." They fit in well with the newer material. At times the sound is a little generic, but the feeling behind C C s simple tunes is youthful exuberance, keeping the overall feel of the album fresh. Class Clown are going to be local contenders if they keep writing songs at their current pace, and I wouldn't be surprised to see another album by fall. For now, content yourselves with these 13 songs. You Need a Hug is a homeburned, teen-punk primer for energetic, disaffected youth everywhere. The CDR thing only adds to the underground, independent experience. Play this loud — especially if you want to annoy your parents. — Colin Clary RAQ SHED TECH (self-released, CD) — Five years ago, Raq would have been one of the hippest bands in Burlington. With their formulaic jam sound, oblique lyrics and faceless songs, the Burlington quartet would have meshed seamlessly with the noodling being heard at clubs throughout the city. Formerly known as Shadraq, they decided to go for a massive overhaul by dropping the first syllable of their

name, and Raq was born. Currently the band is composed of Chris Michetti on guitar and vocals, Marc Scortino on keyboards and vocals, bass/vocalist Jay Burwick and drummer Greg Stukey. As is, Raq's debut disc, Shed Tech, has hit the streets half a decade too late. In the early '90s, the jam phenom turned the national media spotlight on Burlington and its hippie Shangri-La of like-minded bands. But enough is enough. Time has past, and the jam revolution has dissolved into dull revivalism and bar-band banality. Hell, even the godfathers themselves have jumped ship. As is, Shed Tech is a paint-by-numbers homage to the less endearing aspects of jam-rock. While the instrumentation is commendable — album highlights are the two instrumental tracks — the hollow production suffo-

cates any spark of inspiration that may fly between the musicians. That said, "Verde Burro" — one of the vocal-free turns — is a playful Latin shuffle with impressive guitar trickery by Michetti. "Hot Wired" has a carefree melodic catchiness, yet the song sounds so much like latter-day Phish that it's impossible to take seriously. Most of the lyrics on Shed Tech revolve around a mixture of semi-veiled drug paeans and the sort of nonsensical stream-of-consciousness that Tom Marshall brought to Phish. "Weakling" finds a sorry sap losing his gal but reveling in the fact that he can "still get high." "Tunnel Vision" takes the album's lyrical weakness to embarrassing lows. Lines such as "When she uncrossed her knees I saw honey bees/and smelled something oh so sweet," and "I put my hands in my pockets and swished my fingers around/out came the chimey boulion (sic)" are just plain sad. Raq may very well be qualified musicians, yet Shed Tech is not likely to usher in a new era of Burlington jam domination. That said, their Wednesday-night residency this month at Nectar's will probably keep the kids twirling. — Ethan Covey RYAN POWER, RYAN POWER {sdt released, CD) — Rarely do albums manage to be both desolate and personal, restrained and ethereal. Burlington multi-

instrumentalist Ryan Power's eponymous debut disc is one such collection — a rainy-day explication of a dark soul and a wistful collection of tender, romantic pop. A sideman extraordinaire, Power's many faces include gigs as the drummer of indie-rockers Rock and Roll Sherpa, and keyboard maestro for shoegazing depressives The Cush. Yet Power's debut disc is a surprisingly solid and vastly original batch of songs. Preceding the release, he was cryptic about the albums details, and for good reason. The disc was a long time coming, with recording beginning in June 2001 and not winding up until January of this year. Still, Ryan Power is devoid of the disjointed feel that often befalls such protracted productions. Credited with writing, performing, producing and engineering all the material, Power gives us a 42-minute uninhibited glance into his mind. Common themes of loneliness, laziness and sorrow thread through these 11 tunes, yet the overall feel is not one of despair. Much like the material of introverted folkie Nick Drake, Powers darkest songs manage to be breezy and listenable. "Sad and Lonely" begins the disc with subtle, jazzy guitar play and Power's yearning tenor. The tune is sparse but not hollow, retaining a soothing, almost loungey feel. "Don't wake up/Do the sad and lonely," Power pleads. "Foreign Devil" continues the theme with the equally oblique lines, "You'd rather hang out with a rock/At least it's not always trying to be some-

thing that it's not." This isn't exactly the kind of stuff to get you pumping on the Stairmaster, but the emotion Power fits into his bare-bones songs compensates for lack of punch. "Foreign Devil" also ups the tempo... a bit. Light drumming kicks things from a crawl to a shuffle. And while most of the songs focus more on ambiance than hooks, Power's Beatleson-Xanax melodies on "Fickle Friend" and the chorus of the bluesy "Little Girlfriend" almost enter the realm of sing-along pop. As a guitarist, Power is constantly innovative — straying from simple strumming and focusing on jazz-based, multi-chord progressions built to mirror

the song's melodies. With solid songwriting and inventive instrumentation, he's crafted a textured, multi-faceted album of pop that is beautiful, intelligent, diary-personal and fascinatingly unique. Highly recommended for a hangover cure. — Ethan Covey

i MICHELLE SHOCKED, DEEP NATURAL (Mighty Sound, CD) — It's been a long time since Michelle Shocked released a complete studio album. But after battling her former label and winning, she's back strong with the first release on her own label. Some things are worth waiting for. I listened to Deep Natural while the rest of my family was at church, and it's debatable who had the more spiritual experience. "Sister Shocked," as she is called in her black congregation, really belts it out in a number of gospelinspired songs. "Joy, joy, joy, hallelujah," she sings. "You can't take my joy from me." Even the environmental activist anthem "Good News" has the feel of an old-time revival. If the intro of organ, big drums and guitar doesn't get you up dancing, there's something wrong with you. This album also throws folk, country, blues, reggae and good old rock 'n' roll into the mix. It's no surprise to find that Shocked now calls New Orleans home, where all these styles blend into a glorious stew. "Litde Billie" starts with a Southern-rock feel, and Shocked hollers like a true believer. As with many songs on this disc, there are touches of brass in all the right places. "I was lost, but now I'm found," she sings on "That's So Amazing," and having seen her introduce these songs recently at Higher Ground, I have to believe it's true. Her intro to "Forgive to Forget" was delivered in true preacher-woman style, and the lyrics continue the message: "The more I forgive, the more I forget. Holding on to the past is my only regret. Let it go, let"it go, let it go.;." Somehow she manages evangelism without seeming didactic. Even in party songs like "Peachfuzz," we hear positive, thoughtful phrases, such as "beauty's in the beholder's eyes." The tempo and tone of these songs alternates between raucous Mardi Gras revelry and quiet, thoughtful deliberations. "Why Do I Get the Feeling?" lulls with a lovely country guitar intro, and gets personal with nearly whispered vocals, while everyone in "Peachfuzz" sings out, "Hail, hail, the gang's all here!" If this is what comes from a strict Mormon upbringing, I may ship my kids off to Utah. Clearly an eclectic life has shaped an enigmatic artist making brilliant music. Stop by Higher Ground this Friday for another taste. — Kirt Zimmer

DISCOVER JAZZ PREVIEW:

Donald Knaack, "The Junkman" June 5, Contois Club at Burlington City Hall

•

Melding classical composition with modern avant-garde, the "Junkman" is the artist most likely to blur the boundaries of "jazz" at the festival next month. A former percussionist for the Louisville Orchestra in the late '60s, Donald Knaack was put to the task of inventing new sounds for a modern composition. He explored junkyards and waste-disposal sites in •search of objects able to produce previously unheard noise. With his selfdescribed "instruments of music," the Junkman began crafting musical pieces that utilized the unique timbres and percussive possibilities of refuse. Now he's committed to using only recycled materials in his works. Knaack's 1998 CD, Junk Music, earned him gigs with acts as disparate as Phish and Eminem. The recording was also nominated for a Grammy as Best Classical Composition. At the Burlington Jazz Festival this year, Knaack will perform a composition he created using exclusively recycled materials from Vermont. Joining him on stage will be drummer Bobby Previte and local turntablist DJ A-Dog. Knaack will also debut the results of a fourweek residency teaching local students about percussion — a jam session with the children and their self-made "playstations." The dumpster diver and his entourage are certain to push the envelope — and entertain — with their unique version of jazz. — Ethan

he present show at the Church and Maple Gallery, entitled "Fig'yer/Form," has very long roots. Recent archaeological evidence suggests that the earlio 30 est depiction of a human form preCO m dates our own species. About 300,000 years ago, a Homo erectus individual, living near what is now the village of Berekhat Ram in the Golan Heights of Syria, picked up a piece of volcanic stone and began scratching into it with a flint tool. A crude "Venus" form, akin to the famous "Venus of Willendorf," was the result. The four Homo sapiens artists at Church and Maple are all much more accomplished than their Paleolithic predecessor, but their subject matter is basically similar. Eric Boyer contours very fine screens into life-sized three-dimensional human forms, and this choice of materials allows both a degree of transparency and very clean shadows that create a dialogue between naturalistic and abstract overlapping rhythms and shapes. "Male Torso," by Eric Boyer His pieces are immediately reminiscent of the classical Greek sculpture we see most paper to produce black-and-white images that often broken off at the neck, without hands or seem to magically emanate from within the brush feet. "Female Torso" and "Male Torso" are both strokes. His eight untitled works include delicate sculptures in the round, suspended in front of hands in various gestures and double exposures of angled white partitions upon which are cast the a posed female figure. In one image the model is sculptures' sinewy shadows. "Daily Ritual" is facing right, lifting her arms and arching her more of a frieze of male and female figures porback; this is superimposed over her torso, oriented trayed side by side.

The four Homo sapiens artists at Church and aple are all much more omnlished than their aleolithic predecessor. but their subject matter is basically similar.

Hanson's contributions here are from his "Mountain House Series," comprising female forms. Many have an amber hue, and the figures are not isolated in space. "Mountain House #12" has a reclining torso, but a vertical ladder of fine lines has been scratched into the emulsion on the right side of the image. The figure is curled into an easy chair. In numbers 22 to 24 she is in yoga positions. Hanson portrays the gracefulness of the nude, as immersed in a contrasting environment of smoky colors and viscous textures that are not always as beautiful as the figure. Jordan Douglas also uses a technique based on photography. He paints emulsion onto watercolor

from her more austere geometric style. They are also an interpretation of the figural theme that contrasts with the nudes — and nude torsos in particular — that dominate the show. Brandt has combined line drawings of Japanese ceremonial women's wigs, called katsura, with wordless, comic-book "thought bubbles," which contrast with the elaborate hair designs. Her implication may be that we often view physical beauty or cosmetic appearances as devoid of intellect. Brandt may also be addressing racist, as well as sexist, stereotypes in this series. If that is her intent, these pieces are the only works in the show with content that is more than skin-deep. ®

The problem with all good things coming to an end is that, after they do, not-so-good things tend to keep on coming. Hollywood Ending isn't a dreadful movie. It's just a dreadful Woody Allen movie. At 66, the director finds himself in the twilight of a brilliant career, his reputation diminished by scandal, his artistic powers diminished by time. Watching Allen's latest film is a bittersweet experience. So many of the trademark touches are there that one can't help but be reminded of richer, more significant work. The black-and-white title sequences, the sophisticated jazz score, the Manhattan locales, the cracks about L.A. culture, the neurotic persona he's inhabited on screen for the better part of 35 years — they're all here, just as they were in Annie Hall, Crimes and Misdemeanors, Hannah and Her Sisters and Manhattan. Well, not just as they were exactly. More like faint echoes. Once again Allen plays a filmmaker. This time he's a down-on-his-luck director who has been reduced to making deodorant commercials. Tea Leoni costars as his ex-wife. She's an executive with a big studio. When a script called The City That Never Sleeps comes along, she goes out on a limb and proposes hiring her former husband because of his legendary love affair with the Big Apple. This doesn't go over so big with her boss, the smoothie for whom she left Allen, but in the end she prevails. Desperate to make a comeback, Allen agrees to take the job despite his reservations about working with his ex and her boyfriend. Just as shooting is about to begin, however, he comes down with a case of psychosomatic blindness. "I can't direct a movie blind," he tells his agent. "Have you seen some of the movies out there?" comes the reply. Next thing you know, Allen's stumbling around the set staring off into space and making disastrous decisions with regard to camera angles, props and scene-blocking, while conspiring to keep his mysterious malady a secret.

Hollywood Ending is not quite a one-joke movie, but the memorable lines are few and far between and only mildly funny. It is, on the other hand, a one-gag movie. The first couple of times Allen's helped onto the set or through some sort of interaction, it's borderline amusing to watch him flail about and bluff his way through. But 90 minutes of this are way too much of a not-so-good thing. Other than this fumbling and bumbling, however, astoundingly little happens here. There's a subplot about the possibility of Allen and Leoni getting back together and another dealing with the director's dysfunctional relationship with his son. That's pretty much it, aside from a handful of semi-stale observations to the effect that superficiality pervades the entertainment business. Now, do we really need Woody Allen for revelations like this? Wasn't he supposed to be working on the meaning of life and death cr the existence of God? When did he become content to crank out "Three's Company-level slapstick and cut-rate cultural criticism? To be fair, the film does have one or two solid laughs. What's not to love about a throwaway line like the one Leoni delivers to her secretary — "Send flowers and a card to Haley Joel Osment. Say 'Congratulations on your Lifetime Achievement Award'"? But such moments of on-the-money inspiration are rare, I'm sorry to say. Most of what Allen does here he's done far better in previous films. Even his masturbation jokes aren't what they once were. 1977: "Hey, don't knock it. It's sex with someone I love." 2002: What I like best is the cuddle time after." Woody Allen's contribution to American cinema is incalculable, but facts must be faced. Unless the filmmaker regains the artistic vision he once possessed, the future holds little for his audience besides wistful disappointment, and little for Allen besides embarrassing imitations of earlier work. And, of course, flowers from Haley Joel for that inevitable Lifetime Achievement Award. ®

playing doctor: Any day now, David Mamet will begin shooting Diary of a Young London Physician. This adaptation of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde allows the screenwriter-director — a Goddard College graduate with a getaway home in central Vermont — to explore the darkest reaches of the Victorian era in Merry Olde England. But he's hardly the first filmmaker to tackle the 1886 Robert Louis Stevenson novella about the dichotomy of the human soul. "At some levels, this story seems to work in every version," observed critic Pauline Kael in her 1982 review David Mamet of a highbrow Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde that had earned actor Frederic March an Oscar half a century earlier. Ten years before that, a 1921 silent movie featured John Barrymore as the research chemist who concocts an elixir that delivers the ultimate split personality. Spencer Tracey, Ingrid Bergman and Lana Turner appeared in a 1940 reincarnation of the classic — complete with Freudian dream sequences — that The New York Times deemed "not so much evil incarnate as ham rampant, more ludicrous than dreadful." For some reason, though, Hollywood could never let this dynamic duo be. Throughout the decades, there have been at least 10 remakes or spinoffs, some even involving werewolves. The most family-oriented of these were The Son of Dr. Jekyll in 1951, The Daughter of Dr. Jekyll in 1957 and Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde in 1971. Talk about Freudian. A particularly bleak psychosexual take on the subject, Mary Reilly, conveyed the perspective of an Irish maid played by Julia Roberts. The 1996 picture was directed by Stephen Frears, who also cast John Malkovich as the good-bad doctor compelled by his lusty inner demon to kill, kill, kill. Given all this checkered history, can Mamet succeed as a cerebral horrormeister? He has chosen Jude Law, the slinky sex-robot in A.I., for the title role, which is now Robert Jekyll, the shy medical resident, rather than Henry Jekyll, the middle-aged mad scientist. Penelope Cruz portrays Leila, an alluring prostitute. Mrs. Mamet — Rebecca Pidgeon, so awful in his recent Heist — is a respectable young widow with a child. In Diary, Britain's oppressive class system of yesteryear motivates the insecure, ambitious Jekyll to develop a potion that liberates his sinister alter-ego. He wants fame and fortune, but instead gets blood and gore. The gore in a Mamet production probably would never rival that of more monster-minded cinematic efforts coming our way in 2003. Wes Craven of Scream fame has a second, as-yet-untitled Jekyll-Hyde project planned. And the comic-book-based League of Extraordinary Gentlemen includes Jekyll and Hyde characters as part of a late-1800s dream-team of characters from great literature, who are fighting some terrible menace on an alternate Earth. One of them is Allan Quartermain (Sean Connery), from King Solomon's Mines, written by H. Rider Haggard the same year as the Stevenson masterpiece. May the best-worst man win.

short takes: In the movie marketing game, cousins Damon and John Hussar keep trying to pitch Blur of Insanity. The low-budget indie with Animal House-style anarchy celebrates campus Cannabis culture, perhaps a fatal flaw in a Just Say No nation. Although shot in the upstate New York town of Ithaca, one of the autobiographical black comedy's tag lines is: "lovingly made by stoned people in Vermont." Writer-director John, 35, lives in Londonderry. The 32-year-old Damon, a former Waitsfield resident now in Connecticut, is the executive producer. Blur got a warm reception from a 1999 test screening at Winooski's Higher Ground. The rest of the planet has been less kind. The Boston Heralds lammed the film, comparing its narrative to the pot plots by Cheech and Chong — which the Hussar boys took as a compliment. Tinseltown moguls were disturbed by the booze, bongs, barely clad babes and ballistics; they probably didn't appreciate a line of Blur dialogue that suggests "there's nothing like being totally wasted with loaded firearms." The negative reaction only intensified after Columbine. "Ours is a long tale of woe," Damon laments. South Park co-creator Trey Parker championed Blur during an alternative festival at Cannes, where the French loved it — but, then again, they adore Mickey Rourke. Although Blur DVDs are selling via the Internet, there's still no deal for distribution in stores. "Howard Stern has promised to promote it," Damon says, "but why waste that opportunity without a distributor in place?" ®

T A M E S KOCHALKA

Dear Cecil, ; Everyone has heard the great American folk legend of Paul Bunyan and Babe the blue ox. But I have heard that Paul Bunyan is nothing more than the invention of a lumber company — a corporate logo no more mythological than Mr. Clean or the Pillsbury Doughboy. I've tried searching this on the Internet, and I've found some sites that claim that the Red River Lumber Company did indeed create the character, whereas others say the company just took the legend and used it in their ads. You seem to be the man who knows his stuff, and I figure if anyone can come up with a definitive answer to this question it's you. — Andrew

Micak

T h e Paul Bunyan tales have been described as "fakelore," or "a slender vein of oral anecdote" embellished by copywriters for low commercial ends. That's putting it a little harshly — the stories are a cut above the usual promotional puffery. Still, there's no denying the truth: Most of the Paul Bunyan yarns, commonly thought of as tall tales spun by loggers during winter evenings in the north woods, were actually the work of inspired hacks. The first Paul Bunyan story to appear in print was " T h e Round River Drive" (research kindly contributed by Straight Dope Science Advisory Board member Bibliophage). In it Paul and the other lumberjacks try to float logs to the sawmill, only to realize after the scenery starts to repeat itself that the river they're using is circular. In 1910 the Detroit News-Tribune published a version of this tale by James MacGillivray, who'd heard it while working at a lumber camp in Michigan a few years earlier. MacGillivray coauthored a versified version that appeared in American Lumberman magazine in 1914.

T h e first two Paul Bunyan pamphlets in 1914 and 1916 enjoyed only modest success, but the third in 1922 was a hit and brought the giant lumberjack international fame. Additional Bunyan pamphlets appeared sporadically until the company went out of business in the 1940s. Red River trademarked a Paul Bunyan image described as looking like "Shirley Temple with a mustache." But neither it nor Laughead ever copyrighted the stories, which were distributed for free.

T h a t same year William B. Laughead wrote and illustrated Introducing Mr. Paul Bunyan of Westwood, California, the first in a series of Paul Bunyan advertising pamphlets for the Red River Lumber Company. T h e firm was headquartered in Minneapolis but by then had moved most of its logging operations to the west coast. Some

O t h e r writers also contributed Bunyan stories. Two collections appeared in 1916, one presenting tales gathered from loggers in five states and British Columbia, the other stories from Oregon. Esther Shephard published a collection in 1924; James Stevens released another in 1925, when Bunyan and Babe were at the height of

of the stories in the pamphlet were based on Bunyan tales Laughead had heard a decade earlier in a lumber camp near Bemidji, Minnesota. A few were based on other logging yarns or Laughead's own experiences, presumably exaggerated. Laughead is credited with naming Babe the blue ox and Johnny Inkslinger, the clerk who has an ink hose connected to his pen.

their fame. Stevens' stories are among the best known in the genre but probably the least faithful to the oral tradition. O n e big change: W h a t were surely ribald tales in the original telling had morphed by the mid-1920s into stories for kids. Scholars have long debated the authenticity of the Bunyan tales. In his 1940 article "Paul Bunyan, Myth or Hoax?" Carleton C. Ames argued that there was little evidence the stories were widely told among loggers before appearing in print. However, interviews with retired lumberjacks turned up good evidence that Paul Bunyan stories had circulated at logging camps in the U.S. and Canada in the 1880s and '90s and possibly earlier. T h e name Bunyan may derive from Bon Jean, a trickster in French Canadian folklore also known as Ti Jean or Petit Jean. But that seems doubtful — for one thing, Petit Jean is petite. W h a t does seem clear is that much of the Paul Bunyan legend was invented by writers who were paid to do so. T h a t may offend the sensibilities of some folklore experts. But speaking on behalf of the underpaid scribblers of the world, I say good for them.

ghost dance "The night I was born," said the young man from Calcutta, "my grandfather died. And ever since my family has blamed me for his death." W h e n husband-wife choreographers Sara Pearson and Patrik Widrig heard these words during a workshop they were conducting in India, the image inspired an ambitious new project. T h e pair's New York-based company brings its concept to life this week in HereAfter, an innovative dance performance that envisions our final days and journey into the afterlife. T h e Burlington show calls on the talents of 14 local dancers and musicians and features video clips of Vermonters musing on dying and death. T h o u g h all this necrosis may seem a little macabre, Pearson and Widrig approach their dark topic with h u m o r and energy. T h e Swiss newspaper Neue Ziircher Zeitung has called the work "American dance theater at its funniest and most poignant." In other words, a killer show.

Seven Days It looks good on you!

sOUnd laugh track Suppose you sit down with your mother to have a little chat about the F-word. O r your uncle says grace, thanking his lucky stars for fossil fuels and sweatshops. No, it's not "The Osbournes." These are some of the scenarios spelled out in the dry ditties of Lou and Peter Berryman, a couple of quick-witted satirical singers from Wisconsin. Hailed as the Tom Lehrer and Anna Russel of Middle America, the Berrymans have filled two songbooks with tunes that call for old-timey guitar chords and intermittent yodeling. Move over, MTV.

scene® BURLINGTON CITY HALL PARK, 12:30-5:30 P.M. SATURDAY, MAY 4. Jeff Bechter was once at a Million Marijuana March where people did more than just sit around listening to music and speeches. "We actually did march," said the Vermont sec-' retary of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws. "And then we surrounded the federal building. It was actually pretty cool." That was Cleveland. Here in Burlington, no one was doing more than sort of strolling around in the sunshine on Saturday afternoon. But that didn't seem to bother the 50 or 60 souls in City Hall Park any more than the fact that their numbers were considerably short of a million. At mid-afternoon, the weather was just about ideal for lying around and listening to the gelatinous pulse of the Channel 2 Dub Band. Former Grassroots Party chair Denny Lane was supposed to get up and introduce the next speaker, but he was too busy holding forth about his recent defection from the Libertarian Party. "Grassroots has flaky leadership," he said. Back in the good old days, before the "psychopaths" took over, Lane added, the pot party didn't confine its platform to repealing prohibition. Decriminalizing reefer isn't just about recreation, Lane wanted to explain. If we grew hemp for fuel, he pointed out, "We wouldn't need foreign oil from sheiks who sit on their gold toilets. Everything that's currently made from petroleum could be made from polymerized hemp. We could burn cannabis in the McNeil Plant. It can be used for food, fuel, fiber and medicine." At little later, neurologist Joe McSherry took the stage to talk about medicinal marijuana. "Tell your state senators to light a fire under Dick Sears," he urged. Then he tried to lead a chant. "Seer Sears, seer Sears, seer Sears." But the crowd was more receptive to Ken Lawless, a white-haired bard who scraped on a washboard a couple times and meandered through some original compositions. "The grass is always greener if it's Acapulco Gold," Lawless sang, "Church bells chime, bong, bong. Our 420 song goes up in smoke." Though Lawless' lyrics extolled the sweet smell of doobies, the cigarettes burning in City Hall Park were the filtered variety, and the air mostly smelled like dog shit and stale beer. To catch a whiff of ganja, you had to walk over to Church Street. — Ruth Horowitz

SEVEN DAYS

page39a^

ARIES

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): It won't be easy to distinguish the rich clues from the misleading trivia, Aries. You'll have to be a perceptive detective as well as a good listener. With the help of www.uselessfacts. net, I've devised a test that will train and tone your mind for the challenge. Of the following truths, only three can serve as metaphors to help you live a happier, fuller life in the coming days. Which are they? 1. Toupees for dogs are sold in Japan. 2. The first American flags were made of hemp. 3. Two wrongs don't make a right, but three rights equal a left. 4. About 0.7 percent of the world's population is currently drunk. 5. Buzz Aldrin was the first man to wet his pants on the moon. 6. You're more likely to be attacked by a cow than a shark. 7. The Saguaro cactus doesn't grow branches until it's over 70 years old.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): "Life is for most of us one long postponement," wrote Henry Miller. "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans," observed John Lennon. "Kids have the good sense to choose one lollipop today over three lollipops tomorrow," said New Age author Wayne Dyer. I hope these three quotes make you feel itchy and repentant, Taurus. I hope they fire you up with an urge to be disloyal to the crippling religion of Dutiful Procrastination. Be here now, baby. Cultivate a voracious appetite for freewheeling spontaneity.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): "I know the way you can get/When you have not had a drink of Love," begins a poem by the ecstatic Sufi poet Hafiz (rendered by Daniel Ladinsky). "Your face hardens/Your sweet muscles cramp/Children become concerned/About a strange look that appears in your eyes/Which even begins to worry your own mirror. I send this out to you as a tender warning and a gentle prod, Gemini.

{AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-

Please, please, pretty please, go hunt down a drink of Love that will at least begin to quench your longing. Hint: If you're fixated on thinking that it has to come from a romantic or sexual encounter, it will elude you.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): In the coming weeks, I bet you'll be tempted to straddle the fine line between charisma and BS, between creativity and Takery, between dreaming up wildly useful innovations with your fertile imagination and just making stuff up to get your way. Having received this warning from me, however, maybe you'll be conscientious about staying on the brighter side. Every time you tell a little fib in order to make room for a great truth, you'll do so with impeccable integrity. Whenever you pretend to know and be things you haven't actually perfected yet, you'll be picking up tips that will eventually make you an authentic master. L E O (July 23-Aug. 22): Many pro baseball players now have theme songs. As home run king Barry Bonds strides to the plate, stadium loudspeakers reverberate with Dr. Dre's "Next Episode." Seattle's Bret Boone favors "Elevation," by U2, and Atlanta's Andruw Jones prefers "Last Resort," by Papa Roach. This is an excellent idea for all of us nonballplayers to adopt — especially you Leos as you head into the heart of your personal High Ambition Season. Even if you've had a personal anthem in the past, it's time to . find a fresh one that embodies the attitude you want to bring to your new success cycle. A bit of advice: Steer away from tormented rants like Pink's "Missundaztood," and head in the direction of declarations of independence like India.Arie's

"Video" or Mary J. Blige's "No More Drama."

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Behind your back, your imaginary friend is plotting with your inner child to overthrow your guilty conscience. And that's not all, Virgo. Your future self has time-traveled into the past to enlist the spirits of your ancestors in a conspiracy to unlock your sleeping genius. But wait! There's more. The superhero you used to fantasize about being when you felt most helpless has been brought to life by the mad scientist in your psyches basement. Sounds like fun to me!

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Some of your cohorts have been acting so 20th century lately; they've been trying to get away with antiquated ways of thinking that are irrelevant in the face of the future shock we're all wrestling with. If I were you, I'd *ask those folks to snap out of their trances immediately. Where you're going, you can't afford to be collaborating with anyone who ignores wake-up calls. You've got innovators to meet and shapeshifters to learn from.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The black water of Rio Negro and the yellowish brown water of Rio Solimoes converge near the Brazilian city of Manaus. For a few miles they refuse to blend, flowing side by side as if intent on maintaining their autonomy. This two-toned phenomenon happens to be the official beginning of one of the world's longest and sexiest rivers, the Amazon. I hereby name it your official metaphor of the moment, Scorpio. Will the unmingled flows in your life eventually mix, as the Amazon's do? Or will they

remain separate indefinitely? That depends: What do you want?

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I have a personal opinion about which side is more at fault in the conflict between Israel and Palestine, but so what? To express it might give me the satisfaction of letting you know who I am, but it would contribute nothing to the only important issue, which is: how to stop the killing and foster a lasting peace. Amazingly, a similar principle is at work in your own sphere: As long as blame dominates the discussion, as long as everyone is attached to the correctness of their analysis, then the smartest solution is impossible to even imagine. Serve love, Sagittarius, not vindication.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): This week brings Turn Beauty Inside Out Day. How to celebrate? Ridicule the epidemic compulsion to worship physically attractive people. Boycott magazines that use pretty faces to sell their useless information. Spit at airbrushed photos of celebrities who have parlayed extensive cosmetic surgery and a squadron of stylists to create the illusion of outward perfection. Once you have all that healthy rebellion out of the way, Capricorn, enjoy Turn Beauty Inside Out Day in a more constructive manner. You might start by organizing an Inner Beauty Contest among your cohorts. The funny thing is, you'll probably win. The astrological omens agree with what my magic mirror is telling me: Right now, you are the fairest of them all. You're psychologically gorgeous, spiritually lovely, and ethically ravishing.

fFeb. 18): I don't usually encourpge acquisitive behavior. The f f ? - current astrological omens, however, suggest that you deserve a special dispensation — //(and it's a big i f ) you're motivated by your soul's hunger, not your egos greed. Find a way to pull that off, Aquarius, and you'll you have license to gather up a huge cache of goodies. Actually, it shouldn't be too hard to do just that, since the available treasures have little appeal to your need for status and a lot of appeal to your longing for meaning. Your nickname for the foreseeable future: Honey Collector.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): On an episode of the kids' TV show "Even Stevens," overachieving teenager Ren decides she needs to display more school spirit by joining the pep squad. It'll look good on her resume when it comes time to apply for college. Unfortunately, peppiness doesn't come naturally to Ren. The head cheerleader has to lecture her on improving her attitude, admonishing her to "reach deep down inside and find your Perky Place." There are far more profound reasons for you to follow this same advice right now, Pisces. You can't imagine how important it is for you to practice being devoutly cheerful, sublimely upbeat and fiercely optimistic.

apart and now he tells me he loves me and wants to take things "slow" — except cur sex li$e can't go fast enough. Hew can things be slew yet fast? Hew can I get him to see that things need to be all o r nothing? I'm 29 with two beys and ready to settle down. Am I crazy fjcr hanging en? Am I being

used?
