SWEETSER NO MODERATE Republican State Senator Susan Sweetser needs to work on her poker face if she plans to continue playing her victim card in her race against U.S. Representative Bernie Sanders. While Sweetser's decade-old story is tragic (and tired), Vermonters will call Sweetser's bluff if she continues to characterize herself as a "moderate" while supporting repeal of the national ban on assault weapons, boot camps for juvenile offenders, elimination of funding for Vermont ETV, the abolition of Vermont's Human Rights Commission, draconian cuts to human services, the anti-choice presidential candidacy of Bob Dole and, as she suggested, the shipping of Vermont inmates to jails in Texas. Sweetser's victim card was enough to get her elected to the Vermont State Senate. For the good of Vermont, let's hope her fraudulent 1996 campaign folds. — Paul Olsen Colchester

NOT SO SWEET Paula Routly's profile of Susan Sweetser could have been written by her campaign manager. You've
gotten the puff piece out of your system. Now, go take a look at her voting record in your Vermont legislature. Helen Riehle may not view Ms. Sweetser as responsible for the appropriations committee votes, but Ms. Sweetser is promoting her leadership role on the committee. Provide the voters with that record and her statements defending her actions. Do some serious investigative reporting to provide voters with facts regarding Ms. Sweetser's allegiance to Newt and Armey. Question her on each and every part of the Contract with America so voters know what she supports. / ' Finally, there is legitimate debate regarding the role Ms. Sweetser has played promoting the "woman as victim" approach to criminal justice. Her position on AIDS testing of accused criminal defendants is a good place to start a critical assessment of her notions of criminal justice. You might also go back and review the debate that took place in the Senate on that bill between Sen. Sweetser and Sen. Susan Bartlett. You may learn something that should be shared with the voters.
The coverage of the race between Bernie Sanders and Susan Sweetser deserves hard work that provides voters with a critical examination of both candidates. Are you up to the challenge? — Ginny McGrath Montpelier OFF THE TRAIL Regarding Mark Trail and his adventures (Seven Days, May 15): The line was, "Can I pet your little otter?" not, "Can I see your little otter?" which is an important distinction. The strip is in our Hall of Shames, along with a fair maiden exclaiming, "Oh, Mark Trail! You're the one with the BIG DOG!" It's important to get these things straight. Hahaha! —Marti Walker Fairfield
RAIN ON OUR PARADE You got us! It certainly would seem that the Delaney campaign dropped the ball in the Vergennes Memorial Day parade when compared to our political comrades. In retrospect, I guess we should have had our legions of smiling, banner-toting supporters alongside the Model A, plastering Vermont's paradegoing youth with campaign stickers. Dennis probably should have been out shaking hands with the curbside voters, enjoying the sun on a day reserved for reflection and remembrance of those Americans who gave so much to our nation. I suppose I should shoulder most of the blame for this one. I told Dennis that he probably should stay in the car, as we had been asked to do — and done — in the Essex, Winooski, Middletown Springs, Bristol and Middlebury parades. Seems that most of the veterans who put on parades in their communities for Memorial Day have a "no politicking" rule, and most don't even allow a campaign sign on the side of the car. To bad for us campaigners, but I guess it really wasn't a day designed with politicians in mind, anyway. In any case, the generous * rating (Inside Track, May 29) for our performance was deserved. I guess when you're doing twice as many parades as your opponents, it's easy to get the rules for each mixed up. Oh, well! I'll have to be sure to get my facts straight come Fourth of July, when we do twice as many parades as JC and Doug again. Hope this letter finds you well and in good spirits. See you on the campaign trail! PS. You really should have been at the parades in Winooski and Middlebury over the weekend and in Barre yesterday. Great crowds and Dennis was warmly received by the vets! Don't feel too bad, though — " John and Doug missed them, too! Give me a call if you need a schedule. — Ryan Hansen Burlington

Dear Cecil, IBM has a new ad out (as seen in the February 26 and March 4 New Yorker) with a remarkable claim. It says an IBM scientist and his colleagues have discovered a way to make an object disintegrate in one place and reappear intact in another. Beam me up, Scotfy! Is this a publicity stunt? Is it true? They say there's a teleport exhibit on their Web page at http://www.ibm.com/news/ls960202.hfml and give a phone number as well. Can't get through. Can you? - Charlene McKee, Orleans, Massachusetts Publicity stunt? You think ad copywriters would ever try a publicity stunt? Next you'll be believing the sun rises in the east. We turn to the ad. (You can't miss it; it's in the, uhr fat issue of the New Yorker edited by Roseanne Barr.) After a bit of nonsense about Margif felling her e-mail pal Seiji she's going to teleport him some goulash, the ad says their plans are "a little premature, but we are working on it. An IBM scientist and his colleagues have discovered a way to make an object disintegrate in one place and reappear intact in another. It sounds like magic. But their breakthrough could affect everything from the future of computers to our knowledge of the cosmos." The IBM Web page refers us to an article entitled, "Teleporfing an Unknown Quantum State via Dual Classical and Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Channels" by Charles Bennett et al. Ideally you want an article like this to start, "Get two D-cell batteries and some string." m i W J • i m . T W l m m . \ E i T f c i l

Unless you've been living in a cave under Joe's Pond, you know Bernie Sanders is running against Susan Sweetser. But did you know Bernie is also running against one of our three local television stations, WCAX-TV? That's what the Sanderistas are claiming, so let's take a closer look. First off is the fact that C H . 3's founder and president, Stuart "Red" Martin — the "red" refers to hair color, not political persuasion — is a diehard conservative who puts his money where his mouth is. He's already kicked into the Sweetser campaign kitty and has written checks for Republican candidates for decades. Hey, it's a free country, right? But Bernie's campaign director, Jane O'Meara Sanders, cites a host of incidents where Marselis Parsons &C Co. have given The Bern short shrift. Mrs. Sanders says C H . 3 has ignored Vermont's congressman when it comes to his views on the recent defense appropriation, his meeting with Denise Brown, O.J.'s former sister-in-law, on domestic violence issues and his work on raising the minimum wage. They totally blew off his Town Meeting with teens at Montpelier High School — an event covered by the other two television stations. Marselis the Great tells Inside Track that Sanders' teen event was on their roster that day, but something else came up that took precedence. "He was on our dance card," insists Parsons," but unfortunately teachers in Newport decided to strike." Then there was C H . 3's coverage of Sanders' campaign kick-off last week. Reporter Natalie Borrok ran a clip of Bernie refusing to answer her question about not mentioning Sweetser in his remarks. WCAX announced that Sanders had outspent John Carroll in 1994 by $200,000. And Natalie wrapped things up by reporting, "he also refused our request to be a live guest tonight." How could Bernie Sanders, Vermont's "Mr. Television," pass up an offer of free air-time on the tube? "You saw why," replied Jane, " when you watched the six o'clock news." As for not taking questions, Lady Jane reports it was a bit of a set-up. She says the clip aired that night was of Bernie turning down Natalie for a second time. Sanders had already informed her he would not be responding to press questions. Natalie says she hit him up again with the camera rolling "to get it on the record." She declined to discuss her report further, referring questions to Marselis the Great. Jane says the reason OP Bernardo didn't take questions that day was because "we wanted the announcement to be the story — not what C H . 3 wanted [the story] to be. We ran the show that day." Well, not exactly. You see, the press always gets the last licks. "I'm sure Jane Sanders is upset," says Parsons. "Sometimes she has valid criticism, sometimes she doesn't. In this case she doesn't." Jane also charges that C H . 3's report on spending in the 1994 race was "total misinformation." She says Parsons ought to know better, since he has the documents right there at the station showing that the Republican National Committee ponied up for a chunk of Carroll's T V spots. Parsons admits he's "unaware of how much the R N C spent on John Carroll's behalf." He certainly didn't have to go very far to become aware. A check of the "public file" at WCAX-TV indicates that in the last three weeks of the campaign three media buys were made for J.C. totaling $88,927. The form in the WCAX file indicates payment was made by ^^
^^
"Carroll for Congress/Republican National I Committee." § Carroll's media buyer, Joe Colucci of Media g & Marketing Consultants, says the checks from „ the R N C were made out to his firm, not to Carroll for Congress. Colucci. tells Inside Track | he also made buys with R N C money at the | other two stations. Sounds like Jane has a point ^ K on this one. As for declining to appear live on the six f o'clock news, Jane tells Inside Track, "It was our | wedding anniversary and we decided not to « spend it with Marselis." Marselis says he was "disappointed" by 1 Sanders' refusal. "I would have asked him where | the Republicans have been roundly rejected by « the American people. The last decision on that * was the election of 1994, which ushered in the 1 Republican revolution." 1 And that's all we have time for this week on » W G O P - T V Thanks for tuning in. Hope you enjoyed the show. I Susie & Newtie — Gov. Howard Dean unex- f pectedly butted into the congressional race § Monday with the off-the-cuff remark that Ol' Bernardo "is absolutely right. Susan Sweetser's 1 first vote would be for Newt Gingrich for Speaker, and that, for me, is an intolerable situ- | ation. Until she makes a public avowal that she ; will not vote for Newt Gingrich," said Ho-Ho, I "I don't see how Vermonters... can support Susan." Sen. Patrick Leahy added his two cents the follow- j ing day telling Inside Track, "It I really is critical how the Speaker's election comes out. Right now projections are it's a one- or two-vote margin. That's i why Dick Armey came to Vermont, because he's trying to ; protect his leadership position." ! About Political Polls — See that Sam Hemingway story Tuesday about the Free Press poll on the congressional race — "Poll: Sweetser Edges Closer"? No mention of whether the respondents were registered voters or even likely voters. And with the 5 percent margin of error factored in, the Freeps numbers show no change since March. Sweetser even dropped one point. Poll stories are Sam the Sham's forte. Remember the one two weeks before the 1993 mayor's race in which Sam reported Peter Brownell was 15 points behind Peter Clavelle? Remember who won; Speaking of polls, word is that Susie Creamcheese had a poll of her own taken after her "A Star is Born" commercials ran showing her much, much closer to Sanders. Don't count on that one being made public, though. It's designed to help the candidate raise bucks from "the big monied interests," as The Bern would say. Correction — Last weekend on ETV's "Vermont This Week," yours truly mistakenly attributed an erroneous criticism of Sweetser for voting against W I C to State Sen. Elizabeth Ready. Chainsaw Liz got in plenty of Sweetser digs at Bernie's kick-off, but she didn't charge Sweetser with voting against the federal nutrition program for women, infants and children. That one came from Mira Fakinananda, representing the Women's Union. "If I made a mistake, I apologize," says Mira. Right here in River City? — The forces of purity and virtue have succeeded in putting Club Fantasy on the rocks for awhile. But word is, Alumni Theater at Champlain College will be offering something Shaun Cliche was never able to present to his customers — total nudity. Steve Goldberg's new play, The Taboo of Fantasy, opens next Wednesday night. Don't expect the South Burlington blue noses to be there, because Alumni Auditorium is located in the People's Republic of Burlington. •

ART MURMER: Finding the Furchgott Sourdiffe Gallery is almost as hard as pronouncing it. But for five years, the custom frame shop has bucked the anti-art trend by hanging original art shows in the Shelburne Shopping Plaza. Next fall, the art shows will stop — at least temporarily —- when the shop moves across the street to a new location on the Village Green. The bad news is, Joan Furchgott is "burned out on the gallery" and wants to take a break from the wine-and-cheese'scene. The good news is that she and husband Brad Sourdiffe will own the new digs — a Victorian venue that is much better suited to exhibiting. "It's the same old story," she says. "So much energy goes into a gallery, and there is not enough real community support for it."

With a Plan out-grossed I Shot Andy Warhollast weekend in Beantown — at least in Kendall Square, where Vermont filmmaker John O'Brien has stepped up his "Spread Fred" campaign with metropolitan mania. Only the Boston Herald turned up its nose at the offbeat Vermont docudrama. Everybody else gave thumbs-up to the "wry little charmer of a comedy," as the Boston Globe described it. T h e Phoenix recommended the movie as a "a needed break from the humorless rapacity of the current Presidential campaign." Heavy. T h e Patriot Ledger was even more enthusiastic, calling 73-yearold Fred Tuttle "the most lovable septuagenarian in the movies since George Burns in The Sunshine Boys'" No cigars yet, though. It's still too early to celebrate, says O'Brien, who spent half his Burlington Nickelodeon profits in one week just advertising the film in Boston. "One false step and it's all over," he adds. So far, so steady.

IN BRIEF: sfo word yet on the new folk host at Vermont Public Radio. The station has received about 20 demo tapes from wannabe deejays, and the "folk music committee" will give them a listen this week. Programming Director Michael Crane will not name names, but we know the contenders include Vermont Symphony Orchestra director Tom Philion, legislative renaissance man Dick McCormack, Burlington musician-reference librarian Robert Resnik, Vermont Coffeehouse organizer Jack Honig and414 folk writer Neil Cleary. The latter's the only one in the bunch with green hair. Stay tuned . . . Fran Stoddard was after an acting part in Letters to My Mother's Early Lovers. But when her part was cut from the script, director Nora Jacobson asked her to consider a larger role — first assistant director. Stoddard, who runs the video lab at Champlain College and co-hosts "Points North" on Vermont ETV, now has herself a serious summer job — "making sure everyone is where they are supposed to be..." T h e dance department at Middlebury College can take a bow. O n e of its graduating seniors, Paul Matteson, won the American Dance Festival award for Outstanding Student Choreograper two weeks ago at the Kennedy Center. Dance prof Penny Campbell describes him as an "intense and electric" mover who spends "as much of his time upside-down as right side up." And he can dance, too . . . Vermont is not known for turning out tap dancers. But the spirited hoofer featured Thursday night at Burlington City Hall by the Discover Jazz Festival got her rhythm in Shelburne. An original member of the Jump Rhythm Jazz Project, Jeannie Hill was last seen on local stages in The Knee Plays — a Robert WilsonDavid Byrne collaboration. The Seattle Weekly described her as a "brilliant tapper and actor" with moves reminiscent of a "nicegirl version of Cyd Charisse." ACID TEST:
The Burlington band Belizbeha used to think big. Now it thinks...Olympic. Next month, the acid-jazzers are going for the gold in Atlanta. But don't look for keyboardist Jeremy Skaller carrying any flaming torches on television. "We are part of the entertainment that the city of Adanta is creating," "FATTIE Skaller says, noting their biggest BUMBALATTI" gig is in nearby Athens, after the Belizbeha soccer finals. "Our contract is rapper not dependent on who wins," adds Skaller. But "we are playing with a Brazilian band, so we kind of hope the Brazilians win.

upper-register squeals that are less elements of Webster's musical vocabulary than of his own. But if such modern embellishments take Carter out of character, he makes it work. Fusing the sound of 1930s swing with his own ruggedly elegant 1990s approach, Carter does more than simply recreate the style of a bygone era. He brings the spirit of that era to life.
arly in Kansas City, Robert Altman's new movie about the city's mob bosses and jazz heroes of the 1930s, a group of musicians is gathered at the rowdy Hey Hey Club. This is no lightweight jam session, either, featuring some of the biggest names of the swing era as played by some of the biggest names on the contemporary scene: Josh Redman as Lester Young, Craig Handy as Coleman These days, everybody's Hawkins, Geri Allen as Mary Lou Williams, Don Byron as dealing with the groove Eddie Barefield and Christian McBride as Walter Page. But element of the music or of all the musicians crammed on the bandstand, no one is better suitthe look element of the ed for his role than 27-year-old saxophonist James Carter, playing music. That's fine, but if the part of Ben Webster.
Though taller the spirit isnt there it cerand lankier than Webster, Carter, decked out in a chocolate-colored tainly wont groove or pinstripe suit and a black fedora, possesses all the swaggering charm even look good. of the swing-era saxophonist and more than a hint of his explosive talent. Stepping ihether playing Ben up to the bandstand as pianist Webster in a movie set Allen hammers out a ragged 60 years ago or leading blues, Carter moves into his his own adventurous New Yorksolo with a warm and sensuous based quartet, James Carter is Webster-like wail, rounding out one of the most distinctive his phrases with barroom stutyoung horn players in jazz. His ters and slurs that draw howls muscular playing can swing as of praise from the crowd. As he hard as Sonny Rollins, moan as digs deeper into each verse, seductively as Illinois Jacquet or though, Carter's tone becomes screech as ferociously as Albert harsher and more jagged, puncAyler. Yet the multi-reedist — tuated by startling, rhythmic his main axe is tenor, but reed pops, coarse honks and Carter is an avid instrument

Though James Garter Hiss been watched — and admired —- for nearly a decadeby dedicated jazz musicians and fans, he was a lesserknown in Vermont last year. Thus when he played at Club Metronome at the 1995 Discover Jazz Festival, the roughly 200 people in attei
collector equally fluent on alto, soprano and baritone horns — has digested his myriad influences into a personal style containing a power, grace and emotional intensity all his own. Like Eric Dolphy, whose music fused the precision of bebop with the raw energy of 1960s free jazz, Carter bridges the old and the new, and he does it with such a commanding presence that he's fast emerging as the first true jazz hero of his generation.
"I've been lucky enough to be exposed to the swing era and to the avant-garde, and to my ears they're not all that far apart," says Carter. "There's a common denominator in all of the music — and that's the 'spirit that's at the core of it. These days, everybody's pretty much dealing with the groove element of the music or the look element of the music. That's fine, but if the spirit isn't there it certainly won't groove
Older jazz fans, Bither continues, nected to garters ballad playing and encyclopedic knowledge of jazz traditions. "People were impressed because he showed complete mastery of all these young age. People were In short, Carter blows everyone away. The
or even look good. If you find the spirit in whatever you're playing, the rest will come naturally. T h e spirit's an end in itself." Carter's spirit comes alive on his new album, Conversiri With the Elders (Atlantic), a series of musical dialogues that pairs the young saxophonist with jazz elder statesmen, including trumpeter Harry "Sweets" Edison and tenor saxophonist Buddy Tate (both longtime members of the
C o u n t Basie big band), alto saxophonist Larry Smith, baritone player Hamiet Bluiett, and trumpeter Lester Bowie, with whom Carter frequently tours as a member of Bowie's New York Organ Ensemble. T h e album moves from swing standards to the blues to a scorching Bowie-penned reggae-bop number called "FreeReggaeHighBop." "Jazz is a continuum, and that's what this album is meant

to express," says Carter, speaking with the same cocky assertiveness that comes across in his playing. "Lots of people in the media want to put you in this bag or that bag, classifying and categorizing instead of just dealing with the music. W h e n I play I don't think, 'now I'm going to play a little swing,' or 'now I'm going to play a little bop.' It's all part of the same thing, the same tradition." Unlike many of his tradition-minded jazz peers, however, Carter never sounds like a mere echo of his influences; he makes everything he plays his own. According to "Sweets" Edison, who joins Carter on a rousing version of Lester Young's "Lester Leaps In" and on his own composition, Centerpiece, that quality makes Carter an anomaly on today's scene. T h a t quality also allowed the 80year-old trumpeter and the 26year-old saxophonist to collaborate as equals. "We had a great time in the studio," Edison says. "You see, young or old, it doesn't matter, as long as you come to play and you've got your own original style. That's why James is so great. He's not copying anybody. He has similarities to many of the greats — Lester Young, Ben Webster — but he's not stuck in that mode like so many of the younger players. He's an original." orn in Detroit in 1969, J a m e s Carter is the 'youngest of five children raised by a mother who played piano and violin, and a father who, he says, played "a mean radio." "My father was a very stern critic on what was being played in the house radio-wise," Carter says. "B.B. King was his main cat, but I could wake up on any given day and hear all facets of music — Barry Manilow, Sly Stone or Parliament Funkadelic."

hat is there to say to a 12-year-old who's been diagnosed with a usuallyfatal form of brain cancer? Goopy pieties wouldn't have a positive effect, Alice Trillin realized, because "in a way, kids don't make as big a deal about cancer as grown-ups do. And kids are never, never overly sentimental or sanctimonious." Instead, Trillin decided to strike a tone of cheery honesty, and to impart some heartfelt wisdom in the letter she composed in 1979 to 12-year-old Bruno Navasky. Due in part to her background as a teacher and a producer of children's television programs, Trillin was able to provide credible reassurance while avoiding condescension and insincere bravado. Her most important qualification, however, was that Trillin herself had undergone treatment for a malignant lung tumor discovered three years earlier. The long-ago letter to Bruno was unearthed last summer as Trillin, along with her husband, the short-story writer Calvin Trillin, prepared to volunteer at a camp for children wifh, cancer. She persuaded her } friend,

"There were things about having cancer that I liked," she relates. "I know things now that I could never have known...I am a different person now, different in ways that I like." But Trillin is tactful as well as frank. She reserves for a postscript one realization that she didn't disclose to Bruno at the time. It's framed in the form of an analogy whereby a brave knight — armed with a syringe in Koren's wonderful illustration — conquers a scaly, scary dragon representing cancer. Courageous fighters understand

thing about radiation therapy, the author wryly recalls, was "the awful Muzak they played while they were zapping me." KMlJlfX Similarly, Trillin tells Bruno she was especially irked by hospital test procedures, which proved to be "even worse than surgery." What annoyed her about the tests "was all the time you have to spend in the hall waiting to have them." Emotional candor is one of the letter's most appealing qualities. Trillin isn't afraid to acknowledge "occasionally being very angry that I had to be sick while everyone else I knew was well. After all, I am a reasonably nice person, had always done my best to behave myself, and there were all sorts of awful people wandering around perfectly healthy on these lovely summer days while I had to lie in bed having tubes and needles stuck into me." Trillin excels in describing the absurdity of her fate — and Bruno's — in a way that a 12year-old could surely comprehend. Her understanding of her complicated response to the disease is made manifest near the end of her letter, where she reveals a special secret:

In its original form — color-Xerox sheets glued together — the book was read to children who snuggled around Trillin in a camp cabin bunkbed. The result, Dear Bruno, is available as a standard-format, 32-page clothbound book published by New Press. It is dedicated to the kids at The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp and includes an introduction from the founder of the camp for cancer-ridden children, actor Paul Newman. In the book, Trillin highlights some of the more mundane aspects of cancer treatment. They're the sort of experiences that outsiders — that is, the not-sick — probably wouldn't think worth recording. For example, the worst

THE EXALTED RESUME I
By Tom
Frank
n one corner of a computer room at a certain prestigious business school stands a lone laser printer, apart from the rest. Although it's maintained in immaculate working order, local custom dictates that it be used only on extraordinary occasions. A plaque affixed to its clean gray surface gives the reason: This laser printer, a gift of the class of 1986, is a sacred device, a machine for communicating with the gods, and it is treated with a reverence appropriate to its exalted status. At photocopy shops and graduate seminars around the country, related rituals take place every day, in which students and job-seekers are taught how to approach the inscrutable corporate beings who will admit — or deny — them entry into the ranks of the middle class. They are being instructed in the fine points of a strangely American, strangely religious literary form, in how to best compose what is probably the most intensely wrought piece of writing they will ever do in their lives. They are writing resumes. The resume is never studied as a literary artifact. And yet in the various seminars, advice books, and how-to manuals that surround the form, resumes are as closely contrived
as sonnets, as meaningful as epic poems. Yana Parker, author of The Damn GoodResume Guide, which enjoyed considerable popularity in the 1980s, insists that "Writing a resume is like creating a work of art. Like writing a poem, a haiku." Such sentiments are
Dead, even compares resume writing to sculpting: Your life's accomplishments are "like a block of stone, at which you chip away to reveal the masterwork that has been hiding there all along." The production of resumes may be our society's most valued literary

The true function of the resume is as a sort of prayer, a capitalist loyalty oathy a miraculous device through which the gods who rule our society exact our groveling fealty. not uncommon among resume professionals. Martin Yate, the author of the hugely successful recent advice book, Resumes That Knock 'Em
knows why one person is hired and another ignored? Enter the vast and ever-growing resume industry, which exists to explain, as did Milton, the strange ways of the gods to man. A typical university bookstore offers about 40 titles on resume writing, job hunting, interviewing and the composition of cover letters. Their bright paper covers are emblazoned with boasts about the millions of copies sold, the deadly effectiveness of the advice found within, and assurances that this is the very latest, most updated edition. Nobody really knows the exact size of what is called the "outplacement consulting industry," but we know it's vast: somewhere over $400 million per year. Its potential is perhaps best suggested by a book that not only offers instruction in resume writing, but encourages us to Start Your Own Resume Writing Business. In our business-based civilization, resume texts occupy a quasi-religious position. In the library they are shelved with the basic tracts of capitalist faith, books with titles like Money and How to Make It, Making the Most of Your Life, Pick Your Job — And Land It!, and Successful Polks: How They Win.

It took one year, several pairs of shoes and a chance meeting with an armored tank for Steve Bushey to produce his Vermont Hiking and Biking Map. "I did everything myself," he explains. "Some of the maps that I was given were poorly drawn or misleading. It was clear the map makers didn't go out and explore the terrain they were depicting." This cartographer probably could have used a pith helmet for one of his adventures. "I tried four times to reach Sunny Hollow Park in Colchester. I kept wandering into a neat trail
system on each try," he recalls. "On the third one, I rounded a corner and saw huge tread marks. Then I ran into tank bunkers.

ON THE HOUSE By Amy
Rubin
W
ith John Guare's 1968 Obie award-winning comedy, The House of Blue Leaves, Theatre Factory takes on its most ambitious project to date. Verbally rich, structurally unconventional and packed with terrifically twisted characters, this play by the author of Six Degrees of Separation demands the most of any cast. Envision a demented Death of a Salesman, in which a family hinges its hopes on a son who is not merely a mediocre boy, but an endearingly insane AWOL soldier who secfetly plans to blow up the Pope. Insanity runs rampant in this tale of Bananas and Artie Schaughnessy, whose respective madness and deluded dreams are destroying their marriage and lives. Guare's brilliance is in his ability to let us reflect on familiar inner struggles — like unfulfilled desire — through implausible situations.

paced and varied Billy, the rest of the cast falls prey to director Candy Peate's over-the-top approach to Guare's complex comedy. The humor in this play is built-in — with wonderfully clever dialogue, leaps between illusionistic and absurdist styles, and a beautifully designed plot. Guare expertly moves his story from quiet to fever-pitched romp and back again. But Peate prefers to crank it up to high from the start, focusing on big movement and mugging with

Nuns, Hollywood big-wigs, military police and psychiatric workers appear at the
Schaughnessy's Queens apartment on the same wacky day. Yet, through all the foolishness, the playwright's theme is ultimately a sober one: desperate people trying to survive their disappointments. As Guare put it, "Everyone in the play is constantly being humiliated by their dreams, their loves, their wants, their best parts." There's a delicate — and difficult — blend of restraint and no-holds-barred physical comedy required here. Jeremy Palmer shows his instinctive understanding of this mix with his balanced interpretation of Ronnie, the assassin son with visions of fame and revenge. Palmer creates this show's finest moments by knowing when to

too little attention to acting basics like character motivation. As a result, we never fully get to know each character, and we're denied much of Guare's poignant exploration of hope and harsh realities. The capable and comedically talented Theresa Dean — who could have been steered toward a multi-layered Bunny — is an underutilized asset in this quick-laugh-oriented production. Even Palmer's fine work is often muddied by the show's frequent frenetic moments, which seem to have been pasted on, rather than allowed to emerge organically. Robin Fawcett's on-target strobed fight choreography — which should have been a show-stopper — loses its punch amid all the other sillv stuff.

and their future employers, teaching the correct attitudes of deference and respect, they sometimes delve into explicitly religious language. Even What Color Is Your Parachute?, the pseudo-cynical job-hunting guide that boasts of sales in the multimillions, includes an appendix on "Religion and Job-Hunting" and informs the reader that "Your life is like a tapestry, being woven by God and history on an enchanted loom." As with many religious works, resume guides begin with an acknowledgment that the reader is a fairly unhappy person. You've fallen from grace somehow: You've either lost your job or you're miserable enough to be looking for a new one. Parachute is far and away the most elaborate in this regard, with an entire chapter explaining "How to Avoid Getting Depressed" and convenient checklists on "sleep problems," "dealing with anger" and "dealing with meaninglessness." But whatever your current state of dejection, finding a job is the answer, and the resume can therefore be described as a device of hope and salvation. Lawrence E. Lensmith, the self-styled "creator of the Executive Class personal marketing product line," describes the resume as "your one chance to sell you to the prospective employer." It is a "magic carpet," in the words of resume advisor Burdette Bostwick, a passage out of your present misery. The "prizes for writing a good resume," Bostwick continues, are the basic prizes of life: "higher income, greater achievement, increased happiness." But while it offers hope to the forlorn, the resume-writing process is also fraught with mystery and fear. At its dark center stands a terrifying but invisible demiurge: the corporate personnel manager who, we are repeatedly warned, needs but a few seconds to cast us into the oblivion of his trusty trash can if our life's work fails to meet his exact criteria. To propagate the myth of this terrible being — whose activities are described in Knock 'Em Dead in terms of slamming doors and with words like "catastrophic" — is the first order of business in the resume advice trade: how to attract his attention, offer what he's looking for, and avoid his wrath. Bostwick even describes this figure's activities in pseudo-scientific terms, claiming to have measured the "20 to 30 seconds" in which an "impression" must be made, or the resume "discarded." Like capitalism itself, the Zeus-like corporation on the other end of the resume process may be a poor judge of people, a tyrant, even, but from his decisions there is simply no appeal. You must learn to appease his strange whims — or else.
To mollify this deity, the literature asserts, a resume must be exactly right. Certain styles work, and others do not. Make one error, and he will banish you without a second thought. As Yate puts it, "trying to do something out of the ordinary with any aspect of your resume is risky business indeed. For every interview door it opens, at least two more may be slammed shut." But what is the correct path to heaven? Alas, the holy texts do not agree. Some say photocopying is OK; others counsel against it. Some insist that personal data like salary, health and place of birth are essential; others strongly advise that they be omitted. Some maintain that a nicely typed resume is adequate; others claim that nothing less than professional typesetting will suffice. Even the spelling of "resume" is the object of considerable dispute. Does it have one accent mark? Two? None?

of the resume process may be a poor judge of people, a tyrant even, but from his decisions there is simply no appeal You must learn to appease his strange whims — or else. There is not much of a tradition upon which the quester might fall back: "Resume" seems only to have appeared in American English in the 1960s. Since virtually any aspect of the resume can be the part that gets you the job or leaves you abandoned in the outer darkness, resume authorities offer advice on the most minuscule details. Their books pander endlessly to the superstition of the desperate, including elaborate tables of do's and don'ts, model resumes for every imaginable field, and harrowing, paradoxical lists of pitfalls to avoid: "1. Too long... 2. Too short... 3. Too condensed... 4. Too wordy... 5. Too slick... 6. Too amateurish."* Some texts offer lists of magic words guaranteed to make your prayer to the gods of capitalism more effective, either in the form of "key-
words" that their computers will notice, or in lengthy compilations like Knock 'Em Dead's, list of 180 "action verbs" that are sure to mark you as a selfstarting ass-kicker. One resume product line even offers advice on selecting and affixing a postage stamp to the envelope that will bear your precious text to its destiny. "Avoid using stamps that convey a personal message (love, political or personal preferences, etc.)," it confides, "unless a stamp can be found that aligns with the philosophy or pursuits of the organization applied to." As a self-policing enforcer of capitalist discipline, the resume has a number of highly moralistic aspects. All authorities agree, for example, that in resume-writing you must tell the truth. If you lie about anything — as the occasional news stories concerning youngsters who get Ivy League educations on false pretenses serve to remind — you will be found out and severely punished. Furthermore, you must have always been employed. If your resume has "holes," you can forget it. It doesn't matter whether you were taking care of your ailing aunt or living with the Zapatistas during those six months between IBM and AT&T; you'd better have some proper corporate reference for that period or they'll naturally assume the worst. Finally, in what is perhaps the oddest feature of this utterly self-interested literary style, your motives must not derive from personal ambition. You must be a philanthropist, a dedicated servant of the greater corporate good. This is most painfully obvious in the "objective" section of the resume, where the writer sets forth his or her career plans. However desperate you may be, the standard form is not to declare your desire to have a job or earn a lot of money, but to speak selflessly about how much you want to "contribute to the advancement of my field," "to be a key individual on the management team," or to find a position "where my experience and training can be fully utilized." Resumes may get us jobs, if we send out enough of them, but, as What Color is Your Parachute? maintains, they're hardly as effective as all the energy devoted to them would indicate. Their true function is as a sort of prayer, a capitalist loyalty oath, a miraculous device through which the gods who rule our society exact our groveling fealty. Even when we're angriest at and most disillusioned with the world they have created, we sit down and, sometimes at great expense, write homages to them, declaring ourselves selflessly for whatever management team will take us on. At our time of greatest doubt toward capitalism, through the resume we proclaim our unquestioning faith in the justice of the marketplace, in the inevitability of every product finding its special niche, and in the capitalist myths of opportunity and benevolence. •

Bankruptcy? The drafters of our Constitution recognized the importance o f a pervasive and comprehensive federal system to deal with unmanageable debts. T h e United States, under constitutional authority, has established bankruptcy laws designed to permit honest people to expunge their overwhelming debts and, at the same time, maximize a return to their creditors. In order to allow honest debtors to become productive members o f society and regain a place in the economic cycle, debtors may exempt a base level o f property from distribution to creditors as foundation tor a "fresh start." Vermont debtors may exempt limited interests in a homestead, motor vehicles, professional books, or tools, jewelry, furnishings, bank deposits, retirement accounts, annuities, disability payments and growing crops. Similarly, Vermont debtors may exempt unlimited interests in a wedding ring, certain unmatured life insurance contracts, heating appliances, a refrigerator, a freezer, a cookstove. sewing machines, a cow, two goats, ten sheep, ten chickens (and the feed"to keep the cows, goats, sheep and chickens through the winter) and three swarms o f bees and their hives with their produce in honey. Bankruptcy is not available to everybody and may not expunge all your debts. It offers, however, substantial protection and relief to many Americans. Call for your free consultation and learn more about bankruptcy law and its application to you.

I m u s t a d m i t t h a t I used to look u p o n this sporr disapprovingly. But over rhe years I've noticed your cranium has grown harder a n d stronger. T h i s time you m a y actually be able to pulverize your targets. A n d I must say they really d o need demolishing.
GCMINI
(May 2 1 - J u n e 20): T h e easy part is walking o n a path. T h e hard part is finding the Right Path to walk on. I m e n t i o n this, G e m i n i , because you've always been so antsy t o attend to the easy part that you've neglected t h e hard part. As a result, you may as well have been p u t t i n g in a t h o u s a n d miles on a treadmill at the gym. T h e m o n t h of June, however, is prime t i m e to change all that. T h e curious thing is that the Right Path for you m i g h t be right only for you, and for no one else in t h e world. In other words, t h e Right Path m i g h t not even exist until you m a k e it. Bushwhacking, anyone?
CANCCR (June 21-July 22): T h e time has c o m e for your last couple performances at the Theater of Your Worst Fears. Congratulations. It's been a great run. M a n y audience members have c o m m e n t e d they haven't been so terrified by a mere show since Stephen King's last frightfest. I'd like to c o m p l i m e n t you o n h o w realistic you m a d e all that m a y h e m look. Your acting skills have been truly Oscar-worthy. So what are you planning to d o now that you won't be working yourself u p into an hysterical frenzy every single day? I can't imagine h o w you're going to adjust to life w i t h o u t chronic crises (even if they were mostly masquerades and fictions). But I guess you don't have to worry about all that quite yet. G e t out there and m a k e these finales the performances of your life. L€C (July 23-Aug. 22): T i m e for a check-in. H o w are you progressing on die fulfillment of that prophecy I m a d e for you last fall? I m e a n die o n e about this being the year you'll move closer than ever before to finding (or better yet, creating) your dream job? If you're on schedule, you should be at least halfway there by now. T h e goal should be in sight, and your levels of self-discipine should be cranked u p to record levels. If for some reason this isn't the case, the next two weeks are an ideal time to play catch-up.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I'm sure you k n o w what I'm talking about when I refer t o T h e Gossip T h a t Refused to Die. Sorry to b r i n g u p this infernal subject, but I t h o u g h t you should know: There's never been a better time for you to scour away that moldy stain on your reputation. All you have to d o is perform a highly visible good deed which outshouts, contradicts, or otherwise neutralizes the alleged bad deeds. For best results, wear white and carry a rose.
LIBRA
(Sept. 2 3 - O c t . 22); Fresh n e w spiritual sects are e r u p t i n g weekly. A recent article in Tongues of Flame magazine states there Ve already been over 3 0 this year. I've personally enjoyed visiting the Temple of Charismatic Asthmatics and the Polyester Pagoda of the Palpitating Pulpit, b o d i of which just opened for business in the Bay Area. I h o p e this explosion of religious f r e e d o m inspires you to design your own h o m e m a d e d e n o m i n a t i o n . It's die ideal asrrological m o m e n t to d o so. I m e a n w h y try to stuff yourself into a fossilized d o g m a cobbled together thousands of years ago when you can concoct a perfectlytailored creed using your favorite parts f r o m every sacred tradition you ever heard of 1
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): If you're an athlete, this is definitely not a good week to h e a d - b u t t a referee or umpire. If you have certain resemblances to M a d Max, and hate to drive anywhere but the fast lane, you'll be wise to frequent the slow lane for a change. If you're a fan of fast food, I highly r e c o m m e n d you put a priority on avoiding undercooked meat. If you're a spy, you can be sure that the crucial fact you're most likely to miss will be h i d d e n in plain sight. O n a lighter note, if there's even an o u n c e of saintliness in you, this'H be a great time to rack u p brownie points with G o d . SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 2 2 - D e c . 21): Since you seem to enjoy m a k i n g things so soggy and overheated and labyrinthine for yourself lately, I'll help you d o it even better. I'll predict that you're a b o u t to s u b m a r i n e deeper than ever before into a watery abyss of mysteries that'll give you the hottest, wettest, most c o n f o u n d i n g thrills possible. (Which'll no d o u b t boost your emotional I Q by at least 20 points.) Bye-bye. See you in a couple weeks. Better batten down the hatches of your dream boat. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): According to the calendar I live by, it's time for you C t p r i c o r n s to celebrate a holiday k n o w n as G e t Rid of Your Guilt Week. For the next 168 hours you're invited to purge, flush, and extinguish all the regret and self-reproach that n o longer serve you. For best results, begin by m a k i n g a list of each source of your o u t w o r n remorse. Next, c o m p o s e an a t o n e m e n t and give a gift t o each person o n that list w h o m you've wronged. T h e n write a love letter and give a gift to yourself, forgiving yourself of your sins. Finaily, b u r n the list. AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): W e l c o m e to die Kundalini Pledge Drive, lover! Call 4 1 5 / 9 9 5 - 2 6 7 0 n o w and tell us h o w m a n y h o u r s you're going to make love w i t h o u t losing your concentration, h o w deep you're going to look into your lovers' eyes until you see the b i r d i of galaxies e r u p t i n g therein, h o w ingeniously you're going to work to m a k e y o u r compassion a n d lust flow f r o m the same primal reflex. Use your imagination, beautiful. Surprise us. Tell us the idiosyncratic tricks you use t o stoke the old kundalini. Share y o u r stories about h o w you craft and cultivate it, swirl and billow it, uncoil it long and slow and sweet. •
PISCCS (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Hi, class. Today we'll talk about t h e A l a m o a n d its relation to your life. History books often glamorize the story of the Alamo, in which 182 Texan soldiers fought off 6 0 0 0 Mexican troops for two weeks. W h a t they rarely ment^pn is that t h e "heroic" Texans were in part fighting to preserve slavery in Texas. T h i s is just o n e of countless discrepancies between the myths we've always been taught a b o u t t h e past a n d what actually h a p p e n e d . Now, class, who'd like t o apply this way of t h i n k i n g to their o w n personal histories? R e m e m b e r some of the mythic stories of y o u r early life. H o w m i g h t each o n e be a disguise or.gloss for a m o r e raw truth? Forget all you t h i n k you k n o w about it, a n d examine it afresh. • @ Copyriglu m 6 June
