ODD, STRANGE, CURIOUS AND WEIRD BUT TRUE NEWS ITEMS FROM EVERY CORNER OF THE GLOBE SHIRKING-CLASS HEROES Transylvania's mayor, Gheorghe Funar, proposed making the shovel handles of city workers too short to lean on so the workers will get on with their work. •Volkswagen reported it has cut absenteeism in half at its German factories by handdelivering get-well cards to workers who call in sick. Those who are not at home when the cards are delivered are interviewed when they return to work. MODEST PROPOSAL In Augusta, Georgia, singer James Brown announced he is looking for a site for a rhuseum dedicated to himself. "It would be a great thing,'' he explained, "because there s a need for it." LACKING SOUL Ford Motor Co. in the United Kingdom acknowledged that it used a computer to change the of five workers when their picture appeared on the cover of a company brochure. The original photo, which was used on the U.K. Ford Credit Options brochure, showed four blacks and a Sikh in a crowd with 27

whites. Advertising Age reported that when the same photo was used in press and poster ads in Poland, the non-whites were altered because, according to the company, "the U.K. version obviously did not portray the ethnic mix in Poland." The photo was used in Poland until 1994, but then this year the altered ver-

sion was mistakenly used in a new credit brochure distributed in the U.K. Blaming "an administrative error," Ford issued formal apologies and checks for $2400 to four of the non-white workers; the fifth had already left the company. CURE FOR A C00K0UT A federal court in Cleveland ordered the destruction of 16,000 "Stimulator" devices being marketed as a medical product without the required approval of the Food and Drug Administration. The Stimulator, endorsed by daredevil Evel S

Kneivel and sold for $79.80 plus shipping, is advertised as alleviating pain and medical ailments, but, according to Assistant U.S. Attorney Alex Rokakis, "the FDA has determined the device is a gas-grill igniter."

• In the Chinese village of Jiqi, 10 to„ S of dynamite illegally stored in an apartment building exploded, leveling 40 buildings and leaving a 2-1/2-acre crater full of rubble. The resulting inferno killed at least 95 people and injured more than 400. Reports said He Gen, a businessman, owned the dynamite but gave no reason why it was being kept in an apartment building.

BIG BANG THEORIES Oakland police investigating the deaths of two brothers in an explosion and fire said the two men had removed the gas tank \ from a Chevrolet Suburban when one of them opened a side door in the garage. According to police Sgt. Ron Hanson, the sudden rush of a i r either blew t he vapors into a hot water heater or created a chemical mixture that caused the explosion. Three days after the incident, detectives reported hearing a street rumor that someone was offering $3000 for recovery of the gas tank from the wreckage. They checked and found about 200 pounds of marijuana in the tank, leading them to conclude that Jose Guiterrez, 22, and Lionel Guiterrez, 26, had been trying to remove it when they were fatally injured.

• In Orange, California, real estate agent Lorraine Brunskow was making a last inspection of a home she had sold when she discovered a foot-long cylinder in a closet that she said "looked like a little bomb." Her client, a 70-year-old widow, said to just throw it away or use it as a doorstop. Instead, Brunskow tossed it in her trunk. The next day, she showed the object to a co-worker, a former agent for the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, who recognized it as an artillery shell and called police. Jittery authorities wouldn't touch the shell, which was stuffed with two pounds of dynamite and starting to leak, so they used a robotic arm to slide it from Brunskow's trunk into a container. Ordnance experts destroyed the World War I relic

LITTLE BANG THEORIES Bonnie Booth, 38, was hospitalized in Muncie, Indiana, after shooting herself in the foot while using a shotgun to try to remove a callus. "She told investigators she drank a gallon of vodka and two or three beers and tried to shoot the callus off her foot," police Capt. Baird Davis said. "She told officers she had already tried to cut off the callus with a razor, and it didn't work. She was afraid it was getting infected because it hurt real bad." • At an American Legion club bar in Watford City, North Dakota, rancher Robert Mead Jr. complained about the quality of the beer he was served and left. According to witnesses, he returned with a leveraction rifle in one hand and a semiautomatic rifle in the other. Customer Patrick Wagner reported, "He fired a shot into the ceiling and then said, 'Now, bring me a real beer.'" Police were called, and when Officer Keith Braddock arrived, Mead fatally shot him and took two other men hostage for nine hours before walking out at 2:20 a.m. •

NO PANDERING I have been meaning to write for ages (well, the last couple of months) to let you know I love your paper! It's the only newspaper I read cover to cover. Sure, it has an attitude. But what I like is that it doesn't make excuses or pander to the lowest common denominator. The reporting is alive and relevant. Keep up the good work!

RUNNING AGAINST s u s a n

Just when are you going to understand that Bernard Sanders is not running for Congress against Newt Gingrich or Dick Armey? So what that Dick Armey, the Congressional majority leader, came to ^^ Vermont to show his support W ^ for Susan Sweetser, despite their ^ B F differences on choice and minimum wage. All this shows is the level of respect Susan has already garnered in Washington. Look at the radical extremists Sanders has aligned himself with and has appeared in public with. If anyone cited those folks, O' Bernardo would cry "red-baiting." Why the double standard? The fact is that Susan Sweetser has sacrificed much for the sake of Vermont. She has done more than just talk about making Vermont a better place. She has actually succeeded in doing so. Don't expect Washington to change Susan. Expect Susan to change the politics as usual, to be able to bring warring factions together instead of creating an atmosphere of class warfare. j. And Bernardo? Vermont has been very good to him. It has allowed him to live like a king, compared to most Vermonters. Remember, he has been running for statewide office in Vermont since the early '70s. He gets his big money from thousands of fat-cat liberals all over the country. They have allowed him to use Vermont as the platform for his national extremist movement.' And use it he does. We always see him on C-

SPAN, in the well of an empty House, loudly complaining and pointing the finger of blame at every one but himself. If I were him, I'd rather run against anybody but Susan.

— John Ackerson Burlington

FOLLOWING THE TRAIL Three cheers for Ruth Horowitz' sensitive exploration of the allure of "Mark Trail" (Seven Days, May 15). The wholesome protagonist of this 50-year-old strip has many ardent admirers in our state as well. Oh, we know he's clueless about a lot of stuff — as two of his adversaries said while clinking highball glasses in one classic panel: "Besides, this Trail fellow has been in the woods so long he won't know what is going on!" But he can take a bash on the head and a dunk in the water as well as any Johnny-come-lately Marvel superhero, and there's nobody you could better rely on when it's time for someone to run inside a burning marijuana shed. And not a hint that life in the wild might be "nasty, brutish, and short."

CONQUERING CLUTTER

HECK ON WHEELS The title of your May 22 issue explains everything about in-line skating: "Get Out!" That is, get the hell out of my way! Rollerskaters, oh I'm sorry, I mean in-liners, think they own the streets now. When I began skateboarding 10 years ago, there was not a single one of these freakshows annoying me on the road, but now you can't go down the street without seeing one of them. Well, here's some news for you dorks: Skateboarding has been around for 20 more years than in-line skating, so give us some respect and credit. I understand most of us in the skateboarding world aren't corporate skier types and don't "fit in" or have an "acceptable image" like you eight-wheeled chumps, but I'd like to see even one of you try and do a switchstance 360 flip down a flight of stairs (you can't because your feet are attached, ha ha). So next time you see a skateboarder down the street, remember who was here first and show us some respect! Oh, by the way, get some new wardrobes, please!

some debris on the spread he managed about 75 miles northwest of Roswell, New Mexico. The junk included sticks, metallic paper and tape with mysterious writing on if. Total weight: five pounds. The makings of an alien spacecraft? More like the makings of an alien kite. Brazel, probably wouldn't have given the matter much thought, except that 11 days later the first sighting of a "flying saucer" occurred in Washington state. Brazel decided to report his find to the local sheriff, who called the military intelligence office at Roswell army airfield. The military guys didn't know what to make of the stuff they collected from Brazel's ranch. But they'd read about flying saucers like everybody else and, let's face it, after you've been stationed awhile in an isolated outpost you get a little desperate for excitement. They sent out a press release saying they'd found the wreckage of a flying saucer. The army's top brass went nuts. They immediately confiscated the Roswell junk and held a press conference at which they declared it was the remains of a weather balloon. The truth wouldn't come out until years later. In 1947 the government was conducting Project Mogul, an attempt to use high-altitude balloons to defect expected Soviet

fact, contact with one had been lost when it was less than 20 miles away. The clincher: the tape with mysterious writing. According to Charles Moore, a Project Mogul scientist, theradar(effectors had been made during World War II by a company in the New York garment district. When early models proved too flimsy the company did a quick fix by reinforcing the reflectors using tape with stylized flower designs on it. We now fast-forward to the late 1970s.

•Forward March! | Memorial Day marks the official opening of | the political campaign season, and what better ™ venue to check out the marching skills of ® Vermont's notables than the Vergennes I Memorial Day Parade? Admittedly, parade marching really has | nothing much to do with one's ability to hold m public office. There's really no way to tell by the ® way a person walks or waves or smiles how 1 they'll perform as your elected representative. | But parade marching has long been de rigueur I for those who want to be known as our leaders. J;; It's tradition. How were they dressed? Did they 1 come over and shake hands or stand in the | middle of the street like a blob? I You may have noticed that, for the most g part, the Vermont media totally ignores the * presence of politicians in parade coverage. Not I a word about the marching pols made it into | Tuesday's Free Press, and out of our three local | news stations covering the Vergennes Parade, only Ch. 22 noted politicians were even there. II Well, at least one politician. Ch. 22 ran an interview with Susan Sweetser, ignoring all the ' rest, including her opponent. Nice coup! Ch. | 22 also happens to be the only local television station on which Susie Creamcheese hasn't S bought air time for her campaign commercials. | C'mon, Susie, they'd love to run | th«m. Really I As an astute political observer, yours truly couldn't help but take notes and score our presti| gious political leaders as they marched down Vergennes' main I drag. The envelope please! (Pols ® appear in the order in which they marched.) | State Sen. Tom Bahre — The Addison County conservative m wore his very best blue suit with ® a white shirt and red tie. Very i patriotic, wouldn't you say? | Accompanying him was the II mayor of Vergennes, so it was hard to tell if the response wzs 1 directed at Bahre or the mayor, | but it was favorable. We'll give | him * * * . Nice smile, good I wave, great suit. Congressman Bernie Sanders i — Ol' Bernardo marched with | just his wife and chief of staffs ane O'Meara Sanders. Even before you could see him, you » could hear the electricity ripple 1 up the line of viewers. "Here | comes Bernie!" Very well-oiled wave, though a | bit mechanical. First the right hand would wave to people on the left side of the route. Then the 8 left hand would wave to the folks on the right | side. And it was amazing to see whole sections J of the crowd wave back and call out his name. I No campaign signs. Not even a button on his 8 shirt. Everybody knew who he was. The Bern 1 gets our highest score: * * * * * | State Sen. Elizabeth Ready — Liz had a great | gimmick — some dude on stilts walked alongI side her. The Addison County liberal didn't need a sign either; everyone knew her. Many in I the crowd called out to her. A few even shout| ed, "We want property tax reform!" Great | smile, nice wave. Liz gets * * * * . i Doug Racine — The Democratic candidate for 8 lieutenant governor was the first pol in the 1 parade who needed to identify himself with | campaign signs. Dougie had a nice smile and I six supporters marching with him. Wow. Good ® smile, but his wave was a little weak. Unlike the i other party, Racine doesn't have a primary | opponent, so maybe that's why the wave was on | the lite side. Mr. Racine gets * * * . Dennis Delaney — Dennis the Menace just won't learn. Monday's Rutland Herald zinged I him for his performance Sunday in the | Middletown Springs Parade, noting Dennis

"didn't wear out his walking shoes as he drove the parade route in an antique car. Joining Delaney in the car was a large stuffed elephant." g Apparently Delaney, a Republican candig date for lieutenant governor who does have a Jj primary opponent, hadn't read the Herald. He I drove the Vergennes route with the same stuffed j animal and an unidentified male passenger. j Dennis looked like a high school kid in an Z Andy Hardy movie as he cranked the antique ^ horn and waved heartily to the crowd. The only I people we saw wave back were little kids in | their parents' arms, who waved at anything that g moved. One gentleman responded to a thumbsup sign from Delaney by returning an emphatic ® thumbs down. It was obvious the crowd had no § respect for politicians who drove the route and g j the next pol up rammed that point home. Dennis gets all of * and that's being kind. Susan Sweetser — Fasten your seat belts, folks. I If there was anyone you'd expect to ride the route, it'd have to be the red-headed whirlwind of the Vermont Republican Party. For chrissakes, the G.O.P.'s congressional candidate is eight-and-a-half months pregnant! Her entourage was led by a red Lincoln convertible, but Susie Creamchesse wasn't in it. She was walking behind it, smiling and waving like Miss America on the boardwalk. And she was backed up by an entourage of 15 campaign workers and supporters carrying signs proclaiming her support for veterans and dairy farmers. When the parade came to a 20-minute halt — because some turkeys had removed barriers and parked on a corner preventing the fire apparatus from making the turn — Susie worked the crowd up and down on both sides, and there wasn't a Democrat, progressive or independent who could resist her handshake. A lot of folks went home thinking that pregnant lady was really something. Sweetser gets * * * * . John Carroll — Dennis ^ ^ ^ ^ Delaney's opponent came all the • ^ I way from Norwich to walk the I HI I M I W^ J^L WW If • I m.

route. J.C. had his uniform long-sleeve white shirt with rolled up sleeves. His daughter and a friend carried the Carroll banner and he worked the crowd like a congressman would. Carroll's got the smile, the wave and the handshake. ***

Media Notes — Ch. 5 reporter Gregg Lagerquist is moving up the ladder to W G M E (CBS) in Portland, Maine. Gregg's a top-shelf reporter who's got a bright future in the news biz. He's having a very good year — just got engaged to his sweetheart from college (Carleton, back in his home state of Minnesota.) Speaking of romance, what a tender moment it was last week at the Vermont Business Expo when Eric Allen of the Vermont Cereal Company in Cabot joined Howard Dean at the microphone to sing the praises of QVC, the cable shopping channel. "In our five minutes of fame on QVC," said Eric, "We sold 12,000 pounds of oats... and I also met my wife-to-be at the QVC show." His wife-to-be is AP reporter Anne Wallace, who's been up to her ears in oats ever since. Wedding bells will be ringing June 29. Instead of rice, guests will throw organic oats at the bride and groom. Cool. Also at Ch. 5's Vermont shop, Bureau Chief Mike Richards is departing at the end of the week for a two-month leave of absence. Michael has the unique distinction of being the only cameraman in these parts to run a news bureau. Usually one of the pretty faces in front of the camera calls the shots. Not that Mike doesn't have a pretty face. •

I k got a rival ami shes 24 megs

That's what my boyfriend bought himself the other day — 24 megs of RAM, for over 500 bucks. When I asked if that made him some sort of cyberhottie, he laughed at me like I was someone who'd never seen a flush toilet and said, "One hundred megs. Then you'd be a real stud." My boyfriend is a cybergeek "No, cyberstud. Call me a cyberstud," he insists. He's just one more person in my world who spends a whopping amount of time in front of a computer screen.

what seemed like gallons of Liquid Paper. My thesis was thick, with globs of correction fluid, but it helped me get into a college that was well on its way, even in 1991, to the information highway. I discovered something called "e-mail," which meant I could "chat" via a "modem" with my best friend Hazel for free —- well, okay, for $18,000 a year — for as long as I pleased. I had WordPerfect, so with a flick of my wrist, I could delete entire paragraphs in a nanosecond. Wahoo! Let's hear it for the '90s, 1 thought. I began using that stockpile of Liquid Paper to paint my nails. But weird stuff started happening. Computers were showing up more and more in the news, and cybercrime soon followed.

It wasn't always this way. When I was little the only person I knew with a computer was my wealthy, spoiled, onlychild friend Gabby. She had one of those chunky Commodore 64s with the big orange type and the super-bubbled screen. I hadn't a clue what it was good for, but the fact that she occasionally let me touch the thing made me feel like one hot little shit. Then computers left my life for awhile. Since I have atrocious handwriting, I was foiled to bang out all my school stuff on an ancient, albeit electric, typewriter with no return key and no correction tape. I took a class called "data entry" in high school, which basically involved plugging numbers into some archaic program. I thought the people who were really into computers were total weirdos. I wrote my 30-some-page senior thesis with the "help" of the aforementioned typewriter and

mailing me chain letters and dirty jokes at 4 o'clock in the morning. She got really cynical and opened this cafe at her college called The Negative Space for jaded Gen-Xers. I kind of went a little crazy myself. Long nights of studying in the library were interrupted by the burning desire to check my e-mail every 15 minutes. I had another friend in college who actually dated people she met online — one guy sent her round-trip plane tickets to visit him in the Midwest, and she spent days in bed with a guy from England she had cyberchatted with. I myself never met anyone online, although one boyfriend in college did leave me computer messages about how cute I was. I had no idea what a cyberboy my current beau was when I met him. He was one of a slew of guys who asked me

GREAT EXPECTATIONS Pregnant

he pre-parade pancake breakfast drew plenty of politicians to the Champlain Valley Fairgrounds last Saturday, but only one — in a red, white and blue cardigan — looked like a pregnant vision of the American flag. "There was no way I was getting here at 6:30," Susan Sweetser joked with early-rising Rotarians serving pancakes, bacon and sausage before the annual Memorial Day Parade in Essex Junction. Asked what she craves these days, Sweetser offers with pre-partum enthusiasm and a toothy grin, "food." Sweetser will suck down a lot of maple syrup between now and November. But she needs money, credibility and statewide recognition in order to beat her opponent, incumbent Congressman Bernie Sanders. The Chittenden County legislator has never run for statewide office and is virtually unknown in southern Vermont. Even with national backing, and a stockbroker chairing her finance committee, she will be hard-pressed to outspend Sanders. And much as she shrugs it off, there is the issue of her pregnancy — which some voters will interpret as a feminist badge of courage, others as a glaring judgment error. Similar questions arose last week about her not-so-moderate decision to accept the endorsement of ultra-conservative Congressman Dick Armey, who came to Vermont to talk her up. There are plenty of good things to say about Sweetser — an affable, down-to-earth lawyer-mom who has turned personal tragedy into political capital. She raised a very cool daughter working her way through law school, fought for 10 years to put the man who raped her behind bars, and ran for legislative office to spare other women the same experience. Her family-friendly feminism will definitely cost Sanders some votes in the most populous county in Vermont. Two years ago, Sanders came away from Chittenden County with 2 6 , 8 0 1 votes. Sweetser, who was the top vote-getter among a dozen candidates the same year, brought in 24,439. Last week her early-bird ads hit the networks, promoting a "tough and respected" candidate who can get the job done. But there is no substitute for pressing the flesh, as Sweetser discovered after the may

pancakes and before the parade. "Never heard of her — don't know a thing about her," a Montpelier woman shot back when asked to sign a petition to get Sweetser on the ballot. "I hope by November you will," Sweetser said, taking the opportunity to introduce her family: daughter Ginny and second husband David Sands — her partner, campaign worker and soon-to-be day-care provider. By the time she was done, the woman was signed, sealed and wishing her luck.

here is nothing shy or retiring about 38-year-old Susan Sweetser. She grew up in a

isn't working at National Life, passing laws or kissing babies, Sweetser goes out for musicals. Show tunes waft through her haphazardly decorated splitlevel, where the only thing upscale is the Volvo station wagon in the driveway. Sweetser was outgoing and ail-American in high school, where she played piccolo in the marching band and twirled flags and rifles in the color guard. No silver spoons lurk in her background — Sweetser was the only one of three siblings who finished college. Growing up, both parents were registered Democrats. "I remember my Uncle Kenneth,

ative ones. Sweetser went doorto-door for Gerald Ford when she was 17 — "I can't tell you if it was because I didn't like Jimmy Carter, or what it was," she acknowledges. She left for college the following year, and spent a semester lost at Virginia Tech. Fond memories of Vermont, where her parents had a place, inspired her to transfer to Johnson State College. Academic life was a breeze, but real life, as it turned out, was not. At 19, Sweetser met and married her first husband, Gene, an long-time Vermonter from a "very conservative" family. 'It was at that point my

every year after midnight mass, talking about 'those damn Republicans, " she says with a loud laugh. Sweetser is the sort of woman who can hold her own at a hockey game — and does when her 14-year-old daughter plays center for Essex. "But I think my father talked more of a Republican philosophy," she continues. "Mostly things like helping people to help themselves. Trying to keep taxes low and let people keep more of their money." Not surprisingly, her first political stirrings were conserv-

political feelings solidified," she says. "I knew that I couldn't afford to buy a house when mortgage rates were so high. I couldn't afford to pay for gas when gas cost as much as it did." Th is time Sweetser did make the connection between presidential policies and the state of the economy. "Sometimes," she now concedes, "you have to learn things the hard way."

"working class" town in New Jersey, where "you were either Irish, Italian, Jewish or AfricanAmerican," she says. Her father worked his way up in a bank, from teller to president. For years, Sweetser shared a room with her Irish-born grandmother, who instilled in her "that it was your job to take care of everybody else." A painting of her ancestral home in Ireland hangs prominently in the living room of Sweetser's suburban Essex Junction home, across from an upright piano sporting "Best of Barbra" songbooks.

he "hard way" got harder for Susan Sweetser, in ways she could never have predicted. She was a senior at

cooku

Johnson, and pregnant with her first child, when she was abducted and raped by a deranged Vietnam vet in a small town north of Montpelier. Robert Percy pled insanity, on a post-traumatic defense, but "he never said he didn't do it," Sweetser explains. Out on bail, he raped another woman, who, like Sweetser, ultimately went public to draw attention to the case. The ensuing decade of convictions, appeals and retrials left Sweetser thoroughly disillusioned and, finally, politicized. While the courts were battling it out, Sweetser got her law degree — a plan that predated her ordeal by at least a year. Although she finished fourth in her class at Vermont Law, she remembers the three-year period as the worst in her life. She juggled school, baby and fulltime job with the never-ending stress of knowing her case was not yet settled. To escape, she worked compulsively and dropped down to 102 pounds. When the conviction was overturned and her case came up a second time, "I was angry," Sweetser says. "I knew a lot of things I didn't know the first time around, and challenged a lot of things in the system. It was through that whole process that a lot of the disillusionment built up, and the idea started to form, 'It doesn't have to be like this.'" Politically speaking, going public was the best thing that ever happened to Sweetser. In 1990, the Burlington Free Press did a series of articles on her quest for justice, then continued to cover her lobbying activities on victim right? and bail reform. For a while, she got more press than the governor. Sweetser insists she had no plans to run for office at the time, until her volunteer efforts to pass the bail amendment —- that would give judges more power to hold violent offenders before conviction — proved so difficult. "It was out of frustration that I decided to run for office," she says. "There were things that were impor-

(Another Planet Records, C D ) - T h e

artists formerly known as Slush make their long-awaited indie-label debut with a chest-pounding octet of tunes produced by master board man Glen Robinson. This reviewer was privy only to a cassette version on a boom box, so had to imagine the full sonic impact of the thing. I'd compare that impact favorably to, say, a 747 on take-off. Five Seconds Expired proved its metal-edged prowess — and intelligence — to local mosh mavericks while still a single syllable, with a shedding quartet backing Jeff Howlett's sturm-and-Drano vocals. O n Null, the band veers from the standard grind/gallop/grind of hardcore. Drummer Gary Williams and bassist Sean Varney retain firm control of jagged rhythmic arrangements that could stumble in looser reins, while guitarists Todd Dunn and Josh Cooper sizzle in sync, without grandstanding, throughout. Robinson throws in subtle touches, like the delicate sound of scattering pebbles at the end of the epic "Blowtorch," though he doesn't risk diluting the basic unpretty thrash thing. The title cut is a steamrolling loud piece, with all headbanging requisites firmly in place. But for my money the finale is thing, Howlett demonstrates his baritone more than his angry-young-man howl, and it's a change. Fast and layered with adrenaline-charged guitar noise, "Sick of You" could get a job as the soundtrack for a high-speed car chase. In short, it's a rush. I'd like this song installed in my alarm clock immediately. Five Seconds Expired celebrates this Saturday at Toast. Overcast, Never Only Once and Otis join in.

SOUP SANDWICH. TODAY'S SPECIAL

(Scratch and Sniff,

cassette) — Soup Sandwich's sophomore effort kicks off with the party-hearty "Wild Flower" and doesn't let up 'til it's over. Too bad this energetic burst is only six songs long; otherwise it's a pretty good party. Guitarist John Ravell attacks his guitar with an all-American, threechord insouciance in the garage tradition — especially the rockin' "Five Cent Radio," the Green Day-esque "Lovely Day" and the kick-ass "If I Fell" — and sings his lyrics with unvarnished boyish attitude. Nothin deep about these lyrics, but who cares? Drummer Drew Rubenstein goes the distance with muscular enthusiasm, while bassist Stefan Sanchez anchors the bottom, sometimes doubling the guitar line for a fat, tight sound. Recorded at Low Tech Studio by Gus Ziesing, Todays Special is a satisfying slice of melodic punk-pop. Soup Sandwich is taking a break 'til later this summer, but look for the cassette in selected record stores near you.

"The Circus with Gillian Anderson conducting the Cinema Century Orchestra, live! "A joyous reminder of the rare charm, romance, and fun enjoyed at silent films/' (Los Angeles Reader)

LOW RIDERS Three of the original members of War are waging their own battle — that is, touring sans use of their former band name. Howard Scott, B.B. Dickerson and Harold Brown (can you find them in this 1976 photo from War: Greatest ///>j?)doesn't roll off the tongue quite so quickly, but the California-born trio can still roll out their '70s hits like the swell musicians they are. Some of their current audience was in diapers when songs like "Low Rider," "Cisco Kid," "Why Can't We Be Friends?" and "The Lonely Feeling" topped the charts, and weren't even born when War started as exAnimal Eric Burdon's backing band. These guys did just fine pre- and post-Burdon, but faltered with personnel changes in the '80s. Now they're back — three o f ' e m , anyway — and arrive at Toast for a '70s funk-fest this Thursday. WHAT'S THAT SOUND?

Discover Jazz Festival marks the beginning of summer and a week's worth of jammin' in every corner.

In response, the Board of Trustees and President Greene proclaimed that this, along with any discussion of reorganizing the administration of Goddard, is non-negotiable. As reported in Seven Days, The Burlington Free Press, The Times-Argus and The Rutland Herald, demonstrations and protests have taken place, including a Goddard rally for democracy and workers' rights that was attended by such prominent members of the state as Dave Dellinger, Mary Belenky, Chris Wood and Ed Stanick. In addition, a hunger fast was initiated by the college's director of financial aid, Manuel O'Neill, to protest the mistreatment of workers by the current administration. Approximately 20 students and one faculty member joined the fast, which lasted nearly a week. There have been a series of resignations by staff, faculty and board in protest of the direction that the president and the majority of the board are taking

the college. The list, which dates back a year, includes Larry Kressley (board member who resigned immediately after the October board meeting), Steven Shapiro (Dean of Students), Peter Burns (Director of Admissions), Sherri Molleur (Director of Business), and Jamie Klein (Admissions Recruiter and Counselor). However, we must not lose sight of the fact that a core issue underlies the events and disputes taking place between, on the one hand, the college president, board president and some board members and, on the other hand, most of the faculty, staff and students at Goddard. What is this issue? It is whether the college will operate according to democratic principles. Goddard College was originally established as a model of educational democracy. As stated in the "Governance at Goddard College" document, "the founders of Goddard College intentionally placed significant emphasis on the practice and theory of democracy in both academic and operational affairs." In addition, the by-laws of the school mandate that the powers and duties of a trustee are to set forth "the establish-

of democracy and are instead acting autocratically — pushing the college toward a corporate ethos and autocratic governance structure. The suggestion has been made that a democratically elected committee replace the college president and that all board members be elected, thus increasing their accountability to the Goddard community. These and other suggestions, if implemented, would bring Goddard's governance process back in line with the core principles upon which the college was founded. I beseech all board members to reconsider their positions in light of the fundamental issue of self-determination, and to come forward in support of participatory democracy and its application at Goddard. If they continue to stonewall the community's efforts to restore democracy, they very well may be throwing the baby out with the bath water. • Andrew Dinkelaker is the Off-Campus Student Representative to the Goddard Board of Trustees.

It was weeks until I realized that I had competition: a 24inch color monitor, a hard drive and a scanner. Not to mention a CD-ROM. And why do all cyberstuds live on caffeine? He drinks, honest to god, at least five cups of coffee a day, and he thinks eating actual meals is an inconvenient pain in the butt. He makes fun of my modest little Ilex: "Your computer's like a Pinto with broken windows and no muffler," he snorts. He picks at my computer behavior: "Are you saving often? Are you working off the disk or the hard drive?" And on and on. Though I adore him, I would occasionally like to smack him. But it could, I suppose, be worse. One of his housemates,

At least my boyfriend leaves his beloved superfly hard drive to hang out with me in the sun. His computer is his job, not his life. He even wants to live in the country some day. You'd have to get pretty darn far out of Burlington to escape computers. In fact, maybe you can't anymore, anywhere.

Gold Rush. Synchronizing music to action on a screen is an art in itself; conducting for upwards of two-and-a-half hours non-stop is a punishing work-out. The Massachusettsborn Anderson, now 52, has become an expert at both. Coming upon this talent rather serendipitously, she discovered she was "fascinated by anything that moved to music. "It takes hundreds of hours to reconstruct a soundtrack to a film," she said on TV's "Sunday Morning" last year. She referred with a wave of her hand to a complicated "algebraic formula"

were live musicians working overtime, sometimes up to four showings a day, who played in sync with the antics of early film stars. But after around 1930, thousands of these cinematic players found themselves out of work practically overnight. "Talkies" were in; orchestral maneuvers in the dark were out. And along with them, the actual scores of countless films seemed to disappear off the face of the earth. We have Gillian Anderson to thank for finding some of them, languishing in places like the Library of Congress, where she is the music and silent-film specialist. Not only that, the worldrenowned conductor and musicologist has restored close to 20 original scores, among them Ben Hur, Nosferatu, Carmen, Old Ironsides, Parsifal and The Charlie Chaplin's Circus,

. ond — arrived at with the help of her physicist husband. In synchronizing the music to some films, Anderson has discovered that the silents have often been played too fast in modern times. One of these was Charlie Chaplin's The Circus, in which the hero (Chaplin) joins a circus and immediately falls in love with the circus owner's daughter. It is thought by some critics to be one of the funniest movies ever made — and "put together like a Swiss watch," raved one reviewer — though it is also characteristically bittersweet. "Three years ago I was researching the Chaplin family archives and found the score' for the film, Anderson said. She also found scores for The Gold Rush and Woman of Paris. "Chaplin was very knowledgeable about all kinds of music," Anderson noted. Indeed, the "Little Tramp" was a rare comedian who produced, wrote, acted, directed and often composed the soundtracks for his own films. Made in 1928, The Circus was Chaplin's 74th motion picture. Anderson described its score, a collaboration between Chaplin and

Anderson's efforts have nearly single-handedly brought about a renaissance of interest in "silent" films, and the thrilling immediacy of live orchestration has won over even the MTV generation. In 1996, audiences will not likely know the words to the arrangements in The Circus— except perhaps "Blue Skies" — but the music still speaks in its own language. "The hidden, unexpected pleasure of these films," writes Los Angeles film critic Kenneth Turan, "is the way the combination of image, music and personal imagination seduces us into becoming fully interactive partners in the movie experience." • There will be a post-performance discussion with conductor Gillian Anderson in the Flynn Gallery Space. Ending Friday: "Going to the Movies: A Century of Motion Picture Audiences in Northern New England," an exhibit of images and artifacts illustrating how life — and cinema-going — has changed in 100 years. At the Burlington Square Mall Atrium, produced by Northeast Historic Film of Bucksport, Maine.

TRAIL BLAZERS

Why rummers head for the woods: more trees, happier knees

Bv Kevin J .

Kellev

et off the track and onto the trail, Dot Helling urges recreational runners. Weekend joggers would probably be wise to follow her advice — if not necessarily her example. When she isn't practicing law in Montpelier, Helling is often out running trails — and running... and running. She's twice completed the annual Western States Ultra-Marathon, a punishing and literally life-threatening 100-mile race across some particularly treacherous stretches of California's High Sierras. Helling also frequently runs on trails in Vermont. Last year, she fell and broke her leg while on a wilderness jaunt in the Northeast Kingdom. "Trail running is a great experience,'1 Helling insists without a hint of irony. She says even the most non-competitive runner can benefit, psychically as well as physically, by switching now and then from an asphalt to a dirt surface. "It's much quieter, more spiritual" in the woods than on the street, Helling notes. An increasing number of runners seem to be reaching the same conclusion. Abby Frost, director of the summer program at the Catamount Family Center, reports a steady rise in participants in the trail races held there every Tuesday evening from late May until late August. Three or four years ago, only a few people would attempt the five-kilometer course; this summer, Frost anticipates that up to 30 racers

The Vermont Institute of Natural Science will release 15 of the previously injured birds, having nursing them back to healdi. In addition to the raptor release and nature walks, a day at VINS lets you commune with reptiles, rurtles and other birds, too. Vermont Raptor Center, VINS. Woodstock. 1 p.m. Free. Info, 457*2779.

Outers

Catamount's hills and loping through its woodlands even when no race is scheduled. The Williston facility may be better known as a mountain biking or cross-country skiing destination, but it always welcomes runners as well. That word is gradually getting out among the shoulderof-the-road set. At least for now, however, trail-running at Catamount remains "one of the best-kept secrets in Chittenden County," confides Zoe Erdman, a regular at the Tuesday evening contests. The 39-year-old former marathoner says taking to the trails is "a wonderful change of pace. For one thing, it's usually cooler in the woods in the sum»

mer.

Like many other runners, Erdman doesn't enjoy exercising in close proximity to motor vehicles. And as the Burlington area steadily suburbanizes, carfree routes are getting harder to find. The sprouting of housing tracts also means "a lot of people can no longer just head out their back door," notes Frost, "so they come to places like Catamount where trespassing

initely easier on your knees," says Helling, who's well qualified to assess the relative merits of all types of terrain. "It's also a better overall workout for your leg muscles." O n trails, Helling points out, runners must constantly change the angle of their stride. "A lot of people who got into running 10, 15 or 20 years ago have gotten injured," adds Rick Blount, public relations coordinator for the University of Vermont's College of Medicine. "Now they're looking for softer paths that won't give their bodies such a beating." Off-road running does pose its own set of hazards, concedes Blount, a cross-country competitor in high school and college. Growing up in an arid part of Washington state, Blount sometimes had to leap over rattlesnakes as he trained in the wilderness. "You're definitely more in the moment running on a trail than on a flat stretch of road," adds Erdman. "You've got to watch where you're going." Focusing on every footfall "can detract from the nature part of the experience," says Bill

Hollow cross-country ski trail from Jonesville to the Camel's H u m p Nordic Center. Some trails are clearly more accommodating than others. For comparatively safe and certifiably scenic running, Blount recommends Red Rocks Park in South Burlington, Macrae Farm in Colchester (part of the Winooski Valley Park District), and the Ethan Allen Homestead in the Intervale. "Especially," he adds, "when the wildflowers are in bloom.' •

The experts assure us that organization can be a powerful tool to reduce stress, realize personal fulfillment and' maintain a home in which even your in-laws would feel comfortable. It's also big business. As a dysfunction, disorganization occupies a secure niche on self-help book racks. Tucked among the volumes on sobriety, sleeplessness and separation anxiety are dozens of manuals with titles like Taming the Paper Tiger,; Organizing for the Creative Person and File, Don't Pile. And in case you overindulge, there's an antidote called Too Perfect: When Being in Control Gets Out of Control According to these books, your life and the spaces in which you live it can fall into disorganization for a variety of reasons. It could be your inability to part with those 55 snow globes you inherited from Uncle Sidney. Perhaps it's your reluctance to toss that brochure for the Novosibirsk time-share. Or it may be that you've simply never established an official space in which to keep your stuff. Sound familiar? Not to worry.

CONQUERING CLUTTER All Oscar and no Felixf Learn how to put stuff away tographs, kids' art, collectibles, compostables, prospects for the afterlife, or whatever, in order. The first step, of course, is to admit that you have an organization problem. The unpaid property-tax bill that's been hidden beneath the slice of toast beside the can of motor oil on your bathroom sink since last March is trying to tell you something. Listen to it. Step two is to begin with one well-defined, manageable area. If you're too disorganized to even decide which corner to tackle, you should be seeking professional help and not wasting your time reading alternative newspapers. The next step is the hardest:

— your dentures, say — go into Bag A. Bag B is for the stuff you hardly ever use but can't get rid of, like that Tom Jones album your Aunt Hilda asks to hear during her annual visit for leafpeeping and outlet shopping. Use Bag C for things someone else could use: last summer's beach read, last lifetime's 10speed bike. Those leftover nachos (or was it cottage cheese?) with the interesting green fuzz definitely belong in Bag D. Step four represents the intellectual zenith of the entire exercise: giving your possessions room assignments. This is

tricky; take one wrong turn now Your life and the spaces in and you'll be back up to your elbows which you live it can fall into in moldy nachos faster than you can say "anal disorganization for a variety retention." Place objects according to use: of reasons. It could be your rubber spatulas with egg beater inability to part with those blades; the staple remover near the stapler; Rush 55 snow globes you inherited Limbaugh's The Way Things Ought from Uncle Sidney. to Be beside the toilet.

Holders). Are you sick of carrying your kitchen scraps to your backyard composter one orange rind at a time? The "Compostart" — a plastic bucket with an airtight lid and cutely illustrated instructions in French and English — sells for $26.50 at Simply Better. For $9.50 more, you can add a green metal bracket and proudly display your refuse on the wall. Among clutter-busting commodities, wall-mounting rules. Set your keys down on a horizontal surface and you're in danger of inaugurating a disorganized pile. Pick up a resin-cast fish head with its lower lip designed to hold your keys in mid-air ($9.50 at ^ Frog Hollow), drive it ^ into your wall, and —5 you're driving a wooden ^ stake straight into the 5 heart of chaos. ^ Some organization^ enhancing goods help ^ you organize informa^ tion. Filofax provides forms for tracking everything from phone numbers to menstrual cycles ($3.50 at Initially Yours, plus $65 for the leather notebook that holds them). Some products compress several functions in a single tool. The Nature Company carries the $7.50 Snacpac, plastic cutlery in a yellow case with built-in salt and pepper dispensers. The lower level of Pier 1 is crammed — neatly, of course — with holders for everything from pencils to undies, clean or dirty. Other products combat clutter simply by being small. Elevenninety-five may sound like a lot for an edition of Audubon's Birds of America that measures a mere 2 x 2 inches (available at Chassman and Bern). But can you really put a price on the space you'll save on your coffee table? Once you've rounded up all the necessary goodies, you'll need to put everything away. You've had your fun. Now it's time to actually take the garbage out, cart your old bike down to Recycle North, and hang your keys on their fish. And if you still don't know where to put that Tom Jones album, just take a deep breath and see how much you can squeeze into your trusty junk drawer. Even neatniks need one of those. •

WRITE-BRAINED For Chip

Haggerty?

Bv Nancy S t e a r n s Bercaw

hen Chip Haggerty gets tired of writing in one of his journals, he can just go to sleep in it. But for the reader, his work is an eye-opening experience. Haggerty's "sleeping bag diary" took first prize at last year's South End Art Hop in Burlington. It's a book that begs to be judged by its cover, but whose contents beg to differ. The outside literally is a sleeping bag. The sheets inside are literature. And the whole thing is shrouded in Haggerty's own brand of irony. The 41-year-old was "a typical writer guy" with piles of manuscripts in the closet until an act of rebellion turned his prose into a con. "I had a perfectly nice life," he says with a smile. "Now I'm a tortured artist." And a very prolific one. Haggerty, who makes his living as a waiter, spends up to five hours a day holed up in his Morrisville farmhouse writing whatever comes to mind on whatever is close at hand. It took nine months to fill the sleeping bag, and now he turns

"Write from your own experience but make it up," reads an entry in his book satirizing the "tweedy literary scene."

To draw attention to his ^ work, Haggerty started reading £ from "The Palm Tree Papers" at art shows. Since then, his monologues have become an acerbic art form of their own. "I dread the idea of being a performance artist, but I'm doing it anyway," he proclaims. "It's so traumatic." Dressed in a long coat and a pair of Freudian slippers, or sometimes flippers, Haggerty tells his stories with the aid of a "few silly props" — like opera glasses fashioned from a hockey stick and spare car parts. "The theory is to evoke the thought process," he explains. "I like getting ideas and doing them regardless of whether they make official sense." just wants to be read all over. Haggerty, a native of New York, stopped making sense 15 years ago when he opted for an kebobs of their high-brow art anonymous life in Vermont history books.

May 30-June 6 j ARICS (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): What do | you get when you combine the ardor | of a nymphomaniac with the art of | gathering useful information? An j. infomaniac. That's what I advise you j to be this week. Like a hungry spy. i Like a curious child. Like a i muckraking journalist. You need more I data, my friend, and you need it bad. | What you don't know could start to | hurt you unless you act fast. I hope j you realize this means you've got to suspend your pretty theories for awhile. Being an opinionated know-itall would interfere with your ability to locate the surprises you so richly need. | TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): I'll j sometimes have a dream which seems | meaningless or utterly obscure when I j first wake up, but which days later I i realize was a brilliantly condensed | insight into what I most need to i change about my life. You may not | remember your dreams much, so this j might not happen to you. But have | you ever had a waking experience ! comparable to what I described? 1 j predict that you will this week. You j may draw a blank when you're in the | middle of it, but later it'll barrage you | with chewy clues that can help solve : the toughest questions of 1996.

By the way, if anyone complains, tell them your astrologer told you that rabid boasting will be as healing a treat for'your soul as confessing your sins. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don't neglect to take your seasick pills this week. The waves will often be higher than your boat, and though I don't expect you to capsize, I do anticipate a wobbly ride. I also urge you to wear your most waterproof clothes, because you're sure to get drenched. And by the way, don't even think about backing out of the journey. In case you forgot, you have a very good reason to venture into the rough waters. There's a special fish waiting out there with your name on it. If you snag it, it'll assuage your hunger for months. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): If there are any budding Leo saviors or heroes or leaders out there, the next two weeks will be prime time to explode onto the scene. Whatever you've learned while pulling off miracles for your lonesome self are now ripe to be applied to the puzzles that are paralyzing your gang. Ahhh — but do you have it in you to be that generous? There's the rub. Can you figure out an angle that'll motivate you to do good deeds for people who may never be able to pay you back in kind? VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It's understandable that we psychologists with padiology. O u r

BY ROB BREZSNY+*

situation's similar to lawyers' relationship with crime: We'd be out of a job if people weren't so messed up. As a result, though, we're often at a loss when we have to relate to somebody — like you — who's so damn healthy I mean, just look at you: staying in touch with all your semi-conscious feelings, taking total responsibility for your actions, and making nothing but brave decisions. I hope you don't mind, then, if I just compliment you on your dynamite attitude, and move on to the fascinating sickos who really need me. (P.S. Please forgive my pathological fear of being bored by contentment, and don't let it taint your respect for your own contentment.) LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Having a family or tribe that cares for you gives you many advantages. But it has drawbacks, too. Like for instance: It's a bitch to always be among folks who think they have you all figured out. I mean, how the hell can you risk the ticklish moves that are necessary to reach your potential if everyone's applauding you for being just the way you are? What I'm driving at, Libra, is this: While I don't think you should exile yourself permanently from your close-knit circle, I do believe you need a break. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I'm in awe of the way you spur your allies to gain access to their dormant talents. I love your ability to shock people whore acting like machines into becoming aware of what it means to

be vividly alive. I adore your knack for coaxing the hidden truth to the surface even when it doesn't serve your immediate goals. Of course, other folks who aren't as intrepid as myself may fear you and avoid you because of these very traits — which currently happen to be in full bloom. I advise you, therefore, to hang out mostly with people who like their medicine very strong. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): There you stand. Alone together at last. Your clothes fall to the ground and you gaze at each other with tenderness — or is it quizzicalness? A wave of lust washes over you — mixed with a shocking pinch of scary vulnerability. You're brimming with all the feelings you want to spill — and yet somehow they seem dwarfed buy the hundreds of questions that are nagging at the back of your brain. What the hell's going on? Are you coming or going, or coming and going at the same time? Shhhh. Don't try to force any conclusions just yet, baby. Act as if you have all the time in the world to spend on figuring out this intimacy thing. And don't you dare fake a single emotion. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): National Geographies John L. Eliot reports that when die leaves of certain plants are chewed by a foraging insect, they produce chemicals that make the bug feel falsely sated. I compare this to an experience you'll have this week. A nourishing source you've been feasting on won't want you to feed there

anymore, and will, without actually pushing you away, try to get you to leave — very possibly by making you feel falsely sated. What should you do? If it were me, I'd depart tout de suite. I hate to be where I'm not wanted. But for all I know, it may be in your interest to keep snacking until you're actually kicked out. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Just because you're having symptoms like morning sickness and the urge to eat toothpaste doesn't necessarily mean you're with child. They may, however, indicate that you're in the awkward first stages of a metaphorical pregnancy. A newly conceived little brainchild may be gestating even as we speak, unleashing hormonal changes that'll rouse some rather curious feelings in the early going. Of course, you have permission to use what I've said here to drum up sympathy for yourself. Make sure everyone knows that I expect you to be treated with the deference befitting a person in your delicate condition. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Spend as little time as possible trying to push boulders up mountainsides with your nose. Don't even think about struggling to learn a foreign language while organizing your photo collection, riding your exercisc bike, and cooking for a party of 12. Instead, concentrate on taking long walks to nowhere in particular, or playing nonsense games with children, or daydreaming about a movie based on the story of your life. Your best decisions will bubble up spontaneously while you're lounging around feeling "no guilt for doing absolutely nothing. •

" It was the weirdest welcome home I'd ever had. After three long years trying to sell bottled soda at various places in the heart of the African jungle (I lost all hope of making a success of soda sales when Watusi tribesmen started using the Seven-Ups for sacrifices to a god with a name that made me think of a favorite cartoon character), I had returned to the scene of my youth. The city heat reminded me of the Congo's unrelenting temperatures. But I was home. A minute or so after I had begun to ring the bell, Stella turned to ask me where the boys are. Joe, Melvin and Howard were my older brothers, who had taken over the rent-controlled apartment when my parents mysteriously vanished one Easter afternoon. I stared at the unanswered door, which read K-9. Through the open window I could see only a torn curtain and, in the shadows beyond it, an unfamiliar figure. As the tenant came into focus, I watched him pump up the volume on his radio to its highest setting, detonating a blast of scratchy Ragtime music. Between the barking noises he began to make, I swear I heard the chilling words, "Booniruble the Destroyer says hello!""

LAST WEEK'S WINNERS I LAST WEEK'S ANSWERS JENNIFER GREEN TONY GALBRAITH BRIAN TORSTENSON Bill SNYDER LANDONFAKE BOB SIMMONDS PENNY PARADIS JANET MARGOLIN BETTY NELSON CLAIRE RATRY

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE * * SPY HARD * * Of course, the latest Leslie Nielsen parody package bites big-time. After all, this instantly forgettable rip-off of the Zucker brothers (AirplaneI, Police Squad!) formula was not only helmed by Rick Friedberg, a guy who makes TV commercials for a living, but written by his 24-yearold son and his college roommate. A lackluster amalgam of gags and sketches, only 60 percent of which pertain to the spy genre, this dysfunctional family project beats the same dead horse ("There's something Fve got to do at the airport!" "What's that?" "A really big place where planes land and take off.") for an hour and a half while offering none of the haywire unpredictability that electrified its source material. CRUISE CONTROL Tom Sure, you gotta love Leslie, and I'm glad he's still finding work after conceptualized, produced O.J. blew the chances for another Naked Gun installment. Nonetheless, and starred in the this is a movie that's not just unnecessary, but downright redundant. As with everything else about Spy Hard, the brothers did it better and did it biggest Memorial weekend money-maker ever. . long before. If you want to watch a Zucker-style send-up of spy movies, watch the masters at work: They'd already been there and done that way back in 1984 when they made Top Secret. Infinitely more difficult to explain is the disappointing Mission: Impossible. Based on the CBS series of the '60s, the project would appear to have everything going for it: Brian De Palma, one of the medium's most distinctive stylists, directs. Robert Towne co-wrote the script. He won an Academy Award for his work on Chinatown, generally considered one of the finest films ever made. Tom Cruise's face is in virtually every frame. With all that and the latest digital imaging effects at ^ their disposal, the movie-makers raised expectations that the second of the summer's big guns £ doesn't even begin to fulfill. ^ ^ ^ ^ The story's a rather tepid business involving the search for a mole within an intelligence organization and, as critics from coast to coast have pointed out, suffers due to the absence of verifiable baddies, a condition which persists into the film's final moments. Cruise is suspected of being the double agent and comes up wth a wacky plan to break into CIA headquarters to lift top-secret data that will vindicate him. The only real moments of suspense in the picture arise from this high-risk heist. That aside, I found this an unexpectedly dull ride, Cruise's performance surprisingly uneven, Townes script uncharacteristically disposable, and De Palmas direction a sad reminder of all we've been missing since his heyday in the late '70s. First Twister, and now this big-screen blow-out. Finding a picture worthy of summer blockbuster status is turning out to be the most impossible mission of all.

DRAGONHEART Who's the most expensive performer in the history of film? Nope, not Stallone, not Jim Carrey. Its Draco, a $22 million computer-generated dragon who sounds suspiciouly like Sean Connery. Dennis Quaid co-stars with the 18' x 43' special effect playing a knight who befriends the beast, the last of his kind. EDDIE Did Sunset Park leave you wanting more? You're in luck (and probably in need of therapy, if you don't mind my saying so). What are the odds of another movie about a plucky female basketball coach coming along so quickly? Well, they're just about as good as the chances Whoopi Goldberg's will be around any longer than Rhea Perlman's. Who greenlights this nuttiness, anyway? THE A R R I V A L Get set for an invasion of angry alien movies this summer. First but least is the Charlie Sheen-anchored saga of a goateed radio astronomer who picks up on plans to take over the world. From the literary genius who gave us Waterworld.

SHORTS

T W I S T E R * * Only two films in human history have hit the $100 million mark faster than Jan De Bont's computer-generated tale of competing tornado chasers. Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton play second fiddle to the overrated special effects. ANNE FRANK REMEMBERED ( NR) Jon {Scbmdler) Blair, an award-winning British filmmaker, made this chronicle of the Frank family to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the young diarist's death. Kenneth Branagh and Glenn Close narrate. FLIPPER** Will The King of the Sea (remember the TV theme song?) reign at the box office? Elijah Wood and Paul Hogan are paired in the Free Willy-reminiscent saga of a boy, a mammal and an evil toxin-spewing corporation. THE PALLBEARER ( NR) David Schwimmer makes his big-screen debut in this romantic comedy about a young man who helps out at the funeral of a friend he can't remember. Gwyneth Paltrow co-stars as the girl he can't forget. With Barbara Hershey. THE C RA F T * * Carrie meets Clueless in this story of a high-school misfit who joins a coven of MTV-generation witches. A N T O N I A ' S L I N E Willeke van Ammelrooy has won wide praise for her centerpiece performance in this story about a commune for free-spirited women.
