CREATIVE ACCOUNT , I just wanted to say thank you to Lynda Majarian for the wonderful article she wrote about my brother, Chris Abair [“Poetry Man,” May 24]. It was very well written, inter esting, factual, and I felt like I was right there watching it all happen. I got a little choked up at the end. I think because Lynda somehow con veyed the sincerity with which my brother has taken on this challenge. It means a great deal to him, and to all of us. It was nice to see him be publicly acknowledged. I want to thank her for her ere. ,i‘: ' f-1 ative, complete and kind account of how Chris has worked to keep the Leddy poetry alive. — Carol Leddy Abair Colchester

tirade directed to The Burlington Free Press. Ego is a strange thing. — Stephen A. Jarvis Swanton REELECT CIVIL-UNIONS INCUMBENTS As one who is very proud of our legislature for passing the civilunions bill, I look forward to the November election with hope and determination. Much is at play for our wonderful state. Will we con tinue to be a place where human and civil rights are treated reverent ly, or will we regress toward intoler ance and bigotry? Because so much is at stake, I propose the following guidelines: Every incumbent, regardless of party affiliation, who voted in favor of the civil-unions bill should be reelected, unless they are opposed by a candidate who pledges that she or he would have voted for the bill if the opportunity had arisen. In the latter case, it matters less who is actually elected. Any attempt by religious or homophobic opponents

of the bill to target pro-civil-unions incumbents for defeat, thus creating a sea change in the legislature, must be firmly repudiated by the elec torate. I will only vote for a third-party candidate for the legislature or for statewide office if I can be con vinced that to do so would not be

throwing my vote away. I do not wish to risk splitting the vote of those who think similarly about the important issues of our time and enable the extreme conservatives to win. We must not allow the politics of Ruth Dwyer, Robert Starr and Patrick Garahan to prevail. This is not the time to switch horses in mid-stream. — Michael P. Schaal South Burlington

CORRECTION: Due to an editing error, we misidentified Philip Smith in our story, “Missing Manners?” [May 17]. Smith is an instructor for the New England Culinary Institute and the restaurant manager at Chef’s Table in Montpelier. We’re very sorry we called him a chef. Also, in our story “Feeding Frenzy” [May 24], we said Onion River Co-op memberships were $35 a year. In fact, there is a single, lifetime fee of $35 to join. Our apologies for that error.

Curses, Foiled Again Alexander Guyster, 28, pleaded no contest to grand theft auto in Largo, Florida, after he paid for a $50,000 sports car with a $50 cashiers check. Investigators said Guyster used scissors and glue to add extra zeros. “It was just one of those stupid things that people do,” said Guyster’s attorney, Ronnie Crider.

Captive Audience Police in Kashiwazaki, Japan, charged Nobuyuki Sato, 37, with abducting a nine-year-old school girl and forcing her to live for almost a decade in his room in the home he shared with his mother. Investigators said the mother, now 73, had some inkling that the woman was being held captive but was afraid of her sons violent outbursts. The vic tim, now 19, told police she did not try to flee because she “feared for her life.”

Whom Do You Trust? Edith Simpson, 50, pleaded guilty in Philadelphia to pocket ing more than $3600 in courtimposed fines. Authorities said that while serving as a volunteer overseeing 24 people convicted of underage drinking, she directed them to pay their fines to her.

Bright Ideas Inventor Glen Raymond Harden unveiled the Solar Screen, which gives the user

washboard abs while lounging in the sun. Its transparent sheet cov ers the chest artd filters the sun’s rays to create a tan pattern that mimics a muscular appearance. “I’d defy anybody to look that different after two weeks by any other method,” said Harden, who got the idea after he saw someone who had fallen asleep in the sun wearing a vest and awoke with a pattern on his chest. • Keyware Technologies signed a deal to provide the same software that guards nuclear power plants to 15 Dutch nightclubs hoping to ensure that troublemakers who are asked to leave don’t return. Patrons will be issued ID cards that must be scanned before the person enters the club. At the same time, a computerized reader and camera will make sure the person’s fingerprints and facial features match those of the per son to whom the card was issued. • British researchers Steve Maybank of the University of Reading and David Hogg of the University of Leeds said they have discovered that people contem plating shoplifting, mugging, stealing a car or committing sui cide behave differently from other people; what’s more, their actions can be predicted mathematically. The researchers told New Scientist magazine they plan to incorpo rate their findings into security monitors to identify crimes before they happen. • Several Japanese companies led

by Mitsui & Co. trading house announced they have developed a way of keeping track of forgetful elderly people by combining a satellite-based global positioning system and a cellular phone net work. A transmitter attached to the body or clothing beams the oldster’s coordinates to a local server, which shows concerned relatives who access the system the person’s exact location on a computerized map. • Red Rocket Jeans feature a zip per inside the right-hand pocket that allows discreet probing. Jane magazine reported the jeans’ cre ators, who include a former Calvin Klein model and his part ners, got the idea after noticing women needed to “fashionably access” their man’s private parts while “dancing or mingling.” • William Gorra invented a device that monitors hand wash ing, primarily by doctors and nurses. It includes a sensor that attaches to soap dispensers and a processor and memory chip that retains information about employees. Users enter identifica tion information before washing their hands. The information is available to administrators who want to check how often each worker washed his or her hands. • The Washington Post reported that Libya’s Moammar Khadafy has designed a sleek, five-passen ger automobile to be manufac tured and assembled totally in Libya, a nation with no history

of auto production and little technological infrastructure. Dubbed “Rocket of the Jamahiriya,” the car is Khadafy’s personal contribution to world peace, according to Dukali Megharief, chairman of the Libyan Arab Domestic Investment Co., who noted the design features a bottle-shaped front and rear to deflect colli sions and special safety devices that actively “defend” the car’s passengers. It also boasts a “sun light management” system to enhance its appeal to people in the Middle East.

size was preventing her from find ing work. • Unemployed chef Peter Johnson, 49, enjoys the food at the All in One carry-out in Brighton, England, so much that he had its name and phone num ber tattooed on his forehead. Nasser Bander, the restaurant’s owner, said he would reward the gesture by his best customer, who eats there five times a week, by letting him move to the front of the line whenever he comes in. • Officials at a soup kitchen for the homeless in Sydney, Australia, said their resources are being strained by foreign backpackers looking for cheap meals. Colin Robinson, who oversees the inner-city Matthew Talbot Hostel, said up to 50 backpackers a day were showing up for the one-dollar (US $0.59) meals, adding he fears the situation will worsen when tourists arrive in September for the Olympic Games.

Great Escape James Springette, an American being held in a maxi mum-security prison in Bogota, Colombia, escaped by requesting a new mattress, then wrapping himself in the old one when it was carried away.

Chow Hounds The British government awarded a $160 grant to Amanda Saxon, 32, of Widnes to help her join a weight-loss club. The 390pound woman, who enrolled in a government program aimed at getting jobs for people out of work for a long time, insisted her

ow bad is it? Is it as ugly as the letters to the paper make it sound?” This is what my friends outside Vermont are all asking. That and whether my partner and I are going to apply for a “civil-union” license on July 1. Are we going to “sign up?” (No.) Is there a chance that the new civil-union legislation could be overturned? (Yes.) And should they move here or not? Sorry, I’m stumped on that one. Normally, I’d say to any homosexual: “They’re predicting a gay invasion.’ You might as well prove them right. And don’t forget to bring your agenda!” (If Ellen can get away With these jokes, so can I.) . y But I’ve just seen the lat est issue of Out in the Mountains, “Vermont’s Forum for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered Issues,” and I’m having sec ond thoughts. Today I’d say: “The gay paper is already running advice about prenuptial agreements. Are you sure this is what you want?” Please understand me: I’m a big fan of Out in the Mountains and its editor, Barbara Dozetos. W hat’s more, my sister, Gillian Randall, is a wedding pho tographer who stands to make a lot of money pho tographing civil-union cere monies. But I can’t help feel ing that, despite the euphemisms and the talk about “parties” and “spous es,” we’re all being led like lambs to the slaughter of matrimony. Everyone and his brother is in on the act. Indeed, the June issue of OITM is the paper’s biggest ever, positively crawling with ads from lawyers, accoun tants, realtors, florists, etc. Recommending those crucial prenuptial agreements — are you surprised? — are Susan Murray and Beth Robinson, the same attorneys who rep resented the plaintiffs in Baker vs. State and got us into this mess to begin with. I note that the plaintiffs have recently dropped their suit for full-fledged marriage rights, but lawyers are lawyers. “You’ve hired the caterer,” Murray and Robinson write, “settled on the music and flowers, reserved the date, and sent out the invitations. In planning your civil union,

you haven’t forgotten any thing. “O r have you?” Well, of course, you have. You’ve “forgotten” all the things that aren’t actually written in a marriage con tract, and thus a civil-union contract — and which you won’t find out about until you try to break it. I support ed civil unions when I thought they might be an alternative to marriage. I

You can take that as a threat. It would be more honest to say that civil unions will tear the state apart if Sheltra has anything to do with it. Everything she says about homosexuality is a lie, and everything she does to oppose the new legislation is an attack on me and peo ple like me. So I have to fight back — how can I not? Still, I resent the confu sion of same-sex love with

I a lre a d y running a d vice about

p renu p tial ag reem en ts. Are you sure this is w h at you w ant?” can’t if they’re only a substi tution for marriage, specially created for “gay and lesbian individuals” when they ought to be for everyone (and when the “GLBTQA” community can’t even agree on what the words gay and lesbian mean). The truth is, I don’t give a hoot about marriage, and I haven’t ever since I got out of one — a marriage I entered sincerely and with the best intentions in what seems like another lifetime, but which no law and no contract could keep from unraveling. Neither could the laws shield “the parties” from pain, ran cor and misunderstanding. This is the nature of the beast, and no prenuptial agreement will protect you from it. On the other hand, I can’t oppose civil unions, either. I’m in an ethical dilemma. Rep. Nancy Sheltra (R-Derby), a woman of such stunning ignorance and mal ice that she makes Anita Bryant and Phyllis Schlafly look like the Olsen twins, has just founded a political action committee in Vermont called “STARS” — “Standing Together and Reclaiming the State” — which has as its goal the election of any and all candidates for public office who will work in Montpelier to overturn civil unions and “the homosexual agenda.” “I believe the cry of the people of the state of Vermont is to bring the state back to some sort of moral sanity,” Sheltra wailed to reporters last week. “This leg islation — it’s reajly going to tear my state apart.”

bourgeois values, customs and laws, and I think an awful lot of time and money have been wasted securing equal access to the divorce courts for people who were, thank you very much, out of that arena. If this makes me a renegade, a traitor to my kind or, as one particularly repellent local lesbian puts it, “a bad queer,” so be it. I’ve been called worse. Some bad news for Sheltra: A recent Rutland Herald- Times A rgus-$/CAXTV poll reveals that most Vermonters don’t regard civil unions as quite the rending issue she does. The new law is preferential and it is bad law, but so is marriage and, for that reason, probably, it will stand. Lest we forget: There’s gold in them thar hills! “Today, here in the tiny shopping Mecca of Manchester, we saw some thing that stopped us dead in our tracks,” writes a^corre spondent on VTPRIDE.net, the on-line mailing list of O IT M ’s parent organization, Mountain Pride Media — “two young lesbian couples holding hands as they walked down the street. “And guess what else they were doing — buying things at the outlet stores and local restaurants! Why, I bet they even bought gas or rented a hotel room! I was so shocked that I found myself staring at them for long seconds before waving like a fool and yelling, ‘Welcome to Vermont!”’ You said it, sister. “Validation” at last — for parking, if nothing else. ®

B y R uth Horowitz f you’re planning to take a sunset sail on Lake Champlain, dress warmly. Either that, or be prepared to pile on the blankets and still spend two hours shivering against your significant other. That’s what the tourist from Virginia is doing, sitting across from me in her brand-new University of Vermont sweat shirt. There are eight of us set ting sail from the Burlington Community Boathouse aboard the Friend Ship. As my 12-yearold son Sam and I settle our selves on the cushioned bench built around the cockpit, the crew prepares for launch. The first mate is Brett Ferry and Nate Moreau is just off his shift as Boathouse Dockmaster. Mike LaVecchia, our round, soft-spo ken captain, takes his place at the helm. Moreau unlashes the last line from the dock and hops aboard. As LaVecchia flicks the engine on, “Ship’s Mate” Gretchen — LaVecchia’s Jack Russell terrier — starts trotting laps around the narrow deck. We’re on our way.

Our craft, a 41-foot sloop with a single mast and three sails, comprises the entire fleet of the Whistling Man Schooner Company, a charter sailing oper ation in business since 1996. A two-hour sail on the Friend Ship gives the out-of-town visitor, or local landlubber, a Champ’s-eye view of the Burlington area. Businesses, families and other groups lacking their own armadas can hire the boat and its crew for longer floating feasts — either brown-bagged or ordered through the captain. For ~ LaVecchia and his friends — who keep the boat’s thrice-daily, six-months-a-year sailing sched ule with or without any cus tomers aboard — Whistling Man is a way to play while (mostly) getting paid. The Friend Ship may not be the only rig for rent in the area, but LaVecchia boasts that it is Lake Champlain’s only Coast Guard-certified sailing vessel, and the only for-charter sailboat on the lake that can legally — and comfortably — carry 12. As we motor out of the Burlington harbor, Ferry and Moreau invite Sam to help them hoist the twin jibs and heavy

mainsail. The old-fashioned arrangement of the sails recalls the look of a Friendship Sloop, a type of wooden lobster boat built in Friendship, Maine, in the days before power engines. About 30 years ago, Jarvis Newman, a boat-builder in Southwest Harbor, Maine, restored one of these historic sloops and made a mold of its hull. The Friend Ship is one of several customized crafts formed from that mold. Her hull is fiberglass, but every thing else is gleaming wood, including the massive mast and boom, which are solid, brightly varnished Sitka Cyprus. The original boat Newman restored was called The Dictator — a name that explains the fancy D sewn onto the Friend Ships mainsail. But does this sin ister moniker also account for the red, blood-like droplets appliqued beside the D? T hat’s the million-dollar question pas sengers never fail to ask. “Sometimes I tell people there’s one drop for each person we’ve lost overboard,” LaVecchia admits with a laugh. And how many is that, really? “Just Gretchen,” he replies. “It was a perfectly calm day and she lost

her Footing.” We’re unlikely to see a. man overboard tonight. The winds are blowing gently but steadily from the southwest — just strong enough to give the waves a little kick against the hull, but not so strong to prevent Sam from scampering from stern to bow and back again, checking out every inch of the vessel. At Moreau’s encouragement, he ven tures out to the foredeck, where the two of them face the wind’s full force with their backs against the mast and their legs stretched out along the bowsprit. Meanwhile, Ferry takes a moment to step below to the cabin, which holds the boat’s communication system, its small galley and head, and a generous sup ply of blankets. Just beyond the breakwater, LaVecchia cuts the engine. The noise and rum ble instantly vanish and we all remember why we’re here: the pull of the wind, the rock ing of the waves and, above all, the incredible silence. At this time of day — and of year — ours is the only boat on the water. No hulk ing ferry bear • ing down on us, no wake churning powerboats, no shrieking bathers at the beaches, and no dentist-drill jet skis getting between us, the sky and the water. From our vantage point here on the broadest section of Lake Champlain, Burlington has receded enough so that even the massive facade of Filene’s looks comfortably nestled among the greenery. Clouds cover Mount

Mansfield, but the profile of Camel’s Hump rises familiarly to the south. On the New York side, the Adirondacks present a misty progression of grays. LaVecchia says he can’t remember the exact number of boats he’s owned in his 33 years, but for as long as he can recall, he’s been trading in for a new one every year. He acquired his sea legs as a kid, sailing his fami ly’s dinghies off Sandy Hook and Barnegat at the Jersey shore. As he grew older, he started upgrad ing, hoping one day to own a craft with a cabin he could sleep in. Eventually his interest shifted to wooden boats. “I like the older designs,” he says. “I like working boats.” A job at Burton Snowboards brought LaVecchia to Vermont 12 years ago. But it didn’t take him long to . realize that shredding didn’t, well, float his boat the way sailing did. He shipped out of Burton and got himself a gig crewing for a Charlotte man who was yacht ing to III Florida. The job paid only room and board, but it let him spend the fall moseying down the Inner Coastal Waterway, a system of canals, rivers and bays he’s navigated on his own several times since. “In North Carolina, you get to see every town along the coast,” LaVecchia relates. “One night in Georgia, they hoisted

on hand to review the perform ances at Mondays Vergennes parade. The envelope, please! Bernie Sanders — What a pro! His 11th consecutive Vergennes march. O f Bernardo strolls the route with his wife, Jane Sanders, in casual attire. As congressman, Sanders has shed all o f the awk wardness that at times marked his mayoral career. He was relaxed and in good spirits. Had the time of his life and “loves” his job. Waved with both hands and Hashed a winning smile. Marched without sign or banner. Everybody knows him. A+ D oug Racine — Like Bernie, Dougie had to work through the stiffness. He’s scored poorly in past march reviews because o f ir. This year we witnessed signs of remarkable improvement. Racine projects that clean-cut, boy-nextdoor image. He wore a longsleeved dress shirt and tie. This year, taking past criticism to heart, he actually rolled up his sleeves two turns. His smile was more ebullient this year and he’s really improved his left hand-waving skills. Even looked like he was actually enjoying himself. Wonders never cease. B+ Bill Sorrell — Vermont’s top law enforcement official main tained his FBI-director look. White shirt, red tie, blue blazer. Combine that with the emerging strands o f gray and you have a rather distinguished-looking attor ney general with possibilities of higher office — who knows? General Sorrell had his two kids on duty, carrying a Sorrell banner, and his wife, M ary Alice McKenzie, marched with him. Family values to the hilt. And he told us he’s been working out with wrist weights to improve his wave and avoid carpal-tunnel syn drome. ADeb Markowitz — Talk about family values. Vermont’s little sec retary o f state pulled a little red wagon accompanied by her hus band and two little sprouts. Excellent smile. Good imagery — pulling the wagon. Shows stamina, even if she is giving up one hand as far as waving purposes go. Gets bonus points for originality. A+ Ed Flanagan — Something about a parade brings out a side of our state auditor we don’t usually see. With loosened tie and rolledup sleeves, the former all-Ivy defensive end at Penn turns into an outgoing scat back during marching season. His wave remains a little weak, but nobody works the crowd for handshakes like Mr. Flanagan. It’s as if his political survival (he’s running for the U.S. Senate this year) depends on shaking the hand o f every pres ent and future Vermont voter lin ing the route. Frequently, he fell behind his entourage and had sprint like a rabbit to catch up. The guy is fast. Very fast. That’s why we call him Fast Eddie. A Jan Backus — Attired in her traditional colors o f red and black, Jan o f Arc is, as always, understat ed yet distinguished-looking. With her hubbie, former State Sen. Steve Blodgett, at her side, Backus projects a casual but strong look. She’s calm and confi-

dent. Has all the basics as far as wave skills go. Wonderful smile. However, we are getting a little tired o f the outfit. Time for a change? BElizabeth Ready — Now that the senior senator from Addison County is in her first statewide race, she’s turned into a marching maniac. Chainsaw Liz’ outgoing personality and award-winning smile are perfect for the task. Like they say, if you’ve got it, flaunt it, and she does. However, this year she apparently flaunted it a little too much. Earlier Monday morn ing during the Middlebury parade, Sen. Ready “stepped in a hole,” as she said, and went down in a heap. Fortunately, parades attract a high concentration of EMTs, so she didn’t have to go far for medical attention. By the time she got to Vergennes her ankle had been taped and campaign stickers applied. However, despite her best intentions, Chainsaw opted for a ride on the back of some souped-up little red rig. Showed a lot o f leg, as they say. A lot o f ankle, anyway. A+ Anthony Pollina — The Progressive Party candidate for governor had his kids lugging a pretty snazzy Pollina for Governor banner. Also, he had one of the larger contingents in the march. But Pollyanna’s new to this marching stuff and it showed. For one thing, he only waved with his right hand — a common rookie mistake. You’d expect a Progressive to be good with the left, too, but, no. Also the clothes sucked. A long-sleeved, powder-blue shirt over a T-shirt. That might work for an incumbent, but it looked a bit scruffy for a challenger. CNo-shows for the biggest Memorial Day Parade in Vermont this year were Howard Dean, Ruth Dwyer, Bill Meub and Jim Jeffords. Dwyer’s campaign manager, Kathie Summers, told Seven Days the candidate “has a problem with politicians running for office marching in Memorial Day parades. She thinks it’s a day for the veterans. It’s one thing if you’re an incumbent,” said Summers. We respect Mrs. Dwyer’s opin ion. But we consider politics a noble profession in a democracy. Politicians are vital to the process. And parade season gives voters the opportunity to personally meet and engage those who would lead them. Next up on the marching agenda — this weekend’s Dairy Festival in Enosburg. PS. Along the route, we didn’t hear one word mentioned about the hot topic in media circles — the new civil-unions law — until one parade watcher complained to us that the Ch. 3 reporter on the scene had asked him about it. Indeed, Reporter Caroline Allen was making inquiries along the route, taking the public pulse on the issue. O f the nine interviews aired that evening, seven people either strongly supported civil unions or were neutral. Just two people had concerns. “Believe it or not,” said Marty Resnik of Shelburne, “there are more impor tant issues.” You know something? He’s right. ®

Brother Russia, 1997. 96 minutes. Color. Russian with English subtitles. Directed by Alexei Balabanov

Brother is a violent and darkly funny film set in the fast-paced society of modern Russia. Danila is a young man just released from the army who can't find a job in his provincial home town. He travels to St. Petersburg to visit his older brother Viktor whom he idealizes. Viktor offers him a partnership in the family busi ness. They are assassins for the Chechen mob. Danila is a cool and highly effective killer, but he is also an innocent. He finds the completely amoral world around him confusing and disturbing.

known as “high-intensity dis charge” lights. T hey’re mostly found on high-end, expensive cars these days, and they have a bluish tinge to them. T O M : And from the driver’s point o f view, they’re magnifi cent. Their light pattern is sup posedly the same as standard headlights, but the xenon bulbs deliver bright light all the way to the edges o f the pattern, which means you see more o f the road. RAY: And the xenon light is whiter and brighter — and more like daylight, too. So when you drive with xenon headlights, especially on a real ly dark road, you really do see a lot better. TO M : But there are several things that are creating prob lems for oncom ing drivers. O ne is that they’re not used to these new lights, so people tend to stare at them as they drive by and say, “W hat the ... ?” And, as you say, that leads to the w hite-dot phenom enon.

BOOTHBAY HARBOR, ME:

Safety Administration (N H T SA ), as the eye is uncon sciously drawn to brighter objects. TO M : Some o f the new lights are also incorrectly aimed. It’s bad enough when a conven tional headlight is pointed toward your eyes, but when one o f these babies is o ff kilter, it can really be dangerous to oncom ing drivers. RAY: And according to N H T SA , a major problem is that there are lots o f blue-tint ed knockoffs available in auto parts stores that don’t meet fed eral standards. Those are just as bright, but not as well-focused as the legal xenon lights. TO M : And until the xenon bulbs com e down in price (they’re currently a $500 to $1 ,2 0 0 option on some cars), the cheap knockoffs will proba bly continue to be available. N H T S A has received a pile o f complaints, and police organi zations are trying to com e up with simple guidelines to help them pick out and ticket offenders. RAY: But it doesn’t look like anything is going to stop the xenon onslaught now. Like m ost automotive technology, it’ll work its way down from the Mercedeses and BM W s to the Fords and Chevys in a cou ple o f years. And then maybe w e’ll all have to wear sunglasses

at night. Ah, progress.

Dear Tom and Ray: A friend o f mine has a ’9 6 feep Cherokee two-wheel drive that he took to the dealer recently because o f an ever-so-slight exhaust noise coming from beneath the vehicle. The service department told him that the noise was coming from the muf fler’s “< 'weep hole. ” This hole is supposed to allow moisture to drain from the muffler. I thought I knew quite a bit about auto mobiles, but this is a new one to me. I have a hunch that the local service department people are yanking him around. Can you shed some light on the legitimacy o f the muffler weep hole? — Greg T O M : It’s com pletely legit, Greg. Believe it or not, almost every muffler has a weep hole. And the purpose o f the weep hole is to allow water — a byproduct o f the engine’s com bustion — to escape. That way it w on’t sit there and rot the muffler from the inside. RAY: T hey’re usually inaudible, but som etim es you can hear them if you have a highly developed ear for exhaust nois es. It’s also possible that the guy w ith the awl w ho banged the hole in your friend’s Jeep m ight have been hitting them a

little too hard w ith the ham mer that day. T O M : T h e sim plest test is to compare the car’s sound to another ’96 Cherokee at the dealership. If it sounds the same, the dealer is probably right. RAY: Or, you can help your friend by plugging up the tailpipe w ith a rag. W hen you plug up the end o f the tailpipe, the exhaust will be forced through that little weep hole. A nd it should make a noise alm ost like a low whistle. T O M : T hen, if you also plug up the weep hole (do this before the exhaust system gets hot if you value the skin on your fingers), you’ll be able to tell if there’s a leak anyplace else. RAY: If there is a leak, you’ll be able to hear it and even feel it immediately. A nd if there’s no leak, the car w ill stall because, the engine can’t run if there’s no place for the exhaust to go.

The tobacco industry and its allies were quick to attack the EPA report as “junk science” and filed suit to have it vacated. They won an important victory in 1998 when a North Carolina federal judge ruled that the EPA had made serious procedural errors and, worse, had “cherry-picked” its data to reach a preor dained conclusion. The EPA has denied this charge and is appeal ing the decision. The controversy over ETS and the EPA report has been marked by accusations of conspiracy, bias and cooked data, so one has to tread carefully. Nonetheless, a few tentative conclu sions can be drawn. The first is that under the most charitable interpretation the EPA’s evidence that ETS is carcinogenic comes perilously close to noise level — you’re not sure if you’re seeing a real effect or just random spikes in the data. The EPA report was based not on original research but on a “meta-analysis” of 11 existing studies; the analysis purported to show that ETS caused a 19 percent increased risk of lung cancer. While this seems like a respectably large number, remember it comes from an epidemio logical study, which attempts to infer causality based on associa

Sure, what the hell, why not insinuate myself into yet another hot-button topic? Then I’ll be ready to take on gun control, abor tion and which are smarter, cats or dogs. Let me begin by saying that I’m allergic to tobacco smoke, and laws against smoking in public places have personally benefit ed me. In principle I don’t have a problem with banning public smoking: It’s an annoyance to nonsmokers and a danger to vul nerable folk such as asthmatics, children and the elderly. All that having been said, the claim that “environmental tobacco smoke’’ (ETS) seriously threatens the health of the general public, and in particular that it causes lung cancer, is unproven at best. There have been scores of studies on the health effects of ETS, but the one you’re probably thinking of was a 1993 report by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which labeled ETS a class-A carcinogen that caused approximately 3000 lung cancer deaths among adult nonsmokers*per year. The EPA report put secondhand smoke on the political front burner once and for all. Countles_s jurisdictions relied on it when they banned public smoking. Today the U.S. has probably the most stringent regulation o f public tobacco use o f any major nation.

tions in the data — circumstantial evidence rather than a smoking gun. Whatever song and dance you may get from the statisticians, skeptical observers prefer to see an increased risk o f at least 100 percent before they consider a relationship to be established beyond reasonable doubt. The tobacco industry claims the EPA had to fudge the numbers just to arrive at 19 percent. For example, in calculating the probabilities, the agency used a “confidence interval” o f 90 percent rather than the more stringent (and in my observation more common) 95 percent. The lower the standard, the more statisti cally significant your results can be made to seem. Tobacco defenders claim that of four major ETS studies completed since the EPA report was released, two found no evidence that ETS increased cancer risk, one found weak evidence, and only one found strong evidence. The EPA’s take on it is that all four studies support its position. Sounds like bluff to me, but read the agency’s response and decide for yourself at www.epa.gov/iaq/ pubs/strsfs.html. Smoking opponents say there’s a scientific consensus in the U.S. that ETS is bad, citing an impressive list o f articles and offi- “ cial pronouncements — for example, a 1998 review in the J o u r n a l o f th e A m e r ic a n M e d ic a l A sso c ia tio n o f 100 studies, 63 o f which found some evidence o f harm from ETS. I agree ETS is harmful, broadly speaking; the question is whether it causes lung cancer and other significant health threats, as the EPA claims. For years the tobacco industry denied any link between active smoking and lung cancer in the face o f overwhelming evidence to the contrary, so you have to wonder when they make the same claim now about passive smoke. Nonetheless, one can’t escape the suspicion that this time the weasels may be right. «

ARIES

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): The communication wars are raging and that’s not necessarily bad. If you’re a flexible and persuasive warrior, your triumphs this week could be leg endary. I predict that gossip guerrillas who’ve undermined your interests will be in retreat, and your credibility as a networking spokesperson will soar. Allah and Jehovah may not be on your side, but the messenger god Mercury definitely is. Invoke his blessing as you speak the simple truths no one else has the courage or clarity to articulate.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): - “We are too sincere, too productive and too realistic,” C a re o f th e S o u l author Thomas Moore writes in the spring issue of P arabola. “We need to enter more fully and more willingly into that realm under the rocks and behind the mirror.” I think this is always good advice, but especially for you Tauruses right now, when you’re on the verge o f going overboard with your beautiful pragmatism. Take this as a too-much-of-a-good-thing warn ing, please. Give yourself permission to indulge in seemingly meaningless reveries. Reply to people’s dull and serious questions with playful n o n sequiturs. Wander down a few paths you have no earthly reason to tread.

GEMINI

I Wonder if their vibes will rub off on me as I - ^ strive to craft the perfect oracle for you? I hope not. I’d like to be inno cent and fresh for you — uninflu enced by any traditions, venerable or otherwise.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): My current feeling about you was cap tured eloquently by the exasperated mother I heard scolding her little son today as he sprawled on the floor of the post office and sulked. She could have been speaking for me to you when she said, “You’re being very naughty. If you don’t tell me what’s wrong, I’m not going to buy you a doughnut.” You see, Cancerian, I’m confident that your other allies and I could help you deal with whatever dif ficult emotions you’re harboring. But how can we do that if you won’t even tell us what’s wrong?! It’s time to vent, my dears, not to brood and mope.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t you think maybe it’s time to begin writing your autobiography? Some spoilsports might claim you’re too young for such a hubris-tempting effort, but I would disagree. In light o f how heroically you’re living through turning point after turning point — most o f them requiring you to sort through a tan gled mess o f decay mixed with splen dor — I’d say you’re in just the right state of mind to survey your fate from the mountaintop perspective. As a test o f your readiness, let’s have you do a brief run-through. Take out three pieces o f paper and write a kamikaze version o f the story o f your life.

gantly? Could any other tribe have cozied up to the taboos with so much no-nonsense pragmatism? It is my duty, however, to let you know that the time has now come to return from the frontiers and begin building a new empire that incorporates all you’ve learned. Let’s hope that you can smuggle back some of the light ning you scored on your travels.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I’m sorry you had to go and lose your mind, Libra. But take consolation in the fact that the process of finding it again is turning out to be extremely entertaining and educational. Your problems are more fascinating than they’ve been in many moons, and your sins are so original they may soon evolve into virtues. If I were you, I’d do everything I could to extend this exploratory phase another couple weeks. Who knows what rich data you’ll collect if you continue your on-the-edge experiments?

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Theoretically, you could find out where a hurricane is likely ro come ashore, then go there and camp on the beach. Theoretically, you could glide into a bar, scout around for the person whose face has the most pain etched in it, and ask that person to come home with you. Theoretically, you could decide which unresolved event in your past has brought you the most torment, then obsess on it until you stir up a world-class depres sion. But please refrain from this kind o f self-disrespect, Scorpio. Figure out where the hurricane will strike, sure, but then steer clear of it. Or cruise into a bar, but pick out a generous, well-adjusted face. And instead of hurting yourself with self-adminis tered black magic, dwell on memories of your most successful fun.

SAGITTARIUS

PISCES

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): You’ve probably heard how the managers of some convenience stores blast classical music from loud speakers to discourage rowdy teenagers from loitering in the park ing lot. Some colleges are now bor rowing this strategy. In his weekly column “This Is True,” Randy Cassingham reports that Eastern Connecticut State University has forced problem students to listen to opera. The plan has backfired in a few cases, however, when the unruly kids find they absolutely love the weird music they’d never have been exposed to if left to their own devices. I predict an analogous development in your own life, Capricorn. A socalled “punishment” will bring you surprising enrichment.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Jinxes smashed! Bewitchments undone! Wounds soothed! I know this may be hard to believe, Aquarius, but you are now the living embodi ment o f a lucky charm. At no other time in recent memory have you had

RIGHT I DO! Especially when I’ve got an oracle to write for ocean ically emotional Pisceans who are in the midst of a most beautiful and uplift ing spiritual emergency. And especial ly when those Fishy Folks are having lucid dreams while wide awake and picking up so many vivid telepathic messages that it’d be insane for them to believe the material world is the only reality there is. ®

But when a limit ed-time sale on my favorite soda farced me to cancel once more, he got sulky, and hasn ’t called since. I’m not try ing to blow him efr, but I’m afraid he’s gotten that impression.
