ODD, STRANGE, CURIOUS AND WEIRD BUT TRUE NEWS ITEMS FROM EVERY CORNER OF THE GLOBE NO SOLO M10 Gondoliers in Venice stopped serenading their customers this spring to protest an order that the singing oarsmen contribute to a state pension fund for entertainers. Fulvio Scarpa, president of the 60member Gondoliers' Association, explained that officials had ruled gondoliers' singing while steering their craft through the city's romantic canals technically makes them freelance musicians. RUFFLED FEATHERS India's social democratic Janata Dal party outraged its opponents in the eastern state of Bihar by capturing parrots and teaching them to recite political slogans at election meetings. The regional Jarkhand Mukti Morcha party demanded that the parrots be released, claiming Dal activists had clipped their wings to prevent them from escaping and starved them to force them to learn the slogans. • Blackbirds in the English town of Gulsborough have learned to imitate the wailing sirens of car alarms.

Mitzi Jean Horton, 31, lifted the lid of the trunk to ask him if her forgery of his check looked authentic. "I said, 'Yeah, sure, and when you gonna...' and she slammed the door shut tight and went on driving," he recalled afterwards. He said he yelled for help until he was hoarse and had given up hope when police opened the trunk and freed him. They had been tipped off by a woman who caught a ride with Horton and heard thumps and shouts from the trunk.

of his car. She struggled for an hour trying to escape, then remembered the cellular phone in her purse. She called a friend, who in turn notified the police. They found the car in a parking lot and arrested the boyfriend. • In Roanoke, Virginia, Vernon Laughon, 84, was locked in his trunk for two days without food or water by his housekeeper, who drove around town pawning his VCR, ring and watch and spending the $140 she stole from his apartment. The only time he saw daylight during his captivity was when

RANK HAS ITS PRIVILEGES Lawmakers in California filed twice as many insurance claims in the past four years as the average motorist, according to the Orange County Register. After reviewing state records, the paper reported that the lawmakers, who receive free cars and free insurance, submitted 163 accident claims during the four-year period, costing taxpayers about $500,000 in damage costs. State Senator Leroy Greene alone caused $61,452 in property and bodily injury damage to other motorists in two collisions that were determined to be his fault. Greene claimed he was distract-

ed by the pressure of difficult bills, explaining, "It was a break in concentration. When I'm going through a legislative session, I'm endlessly trying to cogitate, ruminate and calculate. I'm always on a deadline and always got some problem facing me." RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE Domenico Germano, 32, was sentenced to four years probation and ordered to pay $5433.09 to repair an automated teller machine in Portland, Maine. He admitted firing four shots at the ATM when it balked at his repeated attempts to withdraw cash with his bank card. ILL-SUITED In April, Kevin Jalbert of Milford, Connecticut, filed a lawsuit against Phil Donahue and Mario Thomas, seeking $15,000 to cover medical bills and repairs to his pickup truck stemming from a 1994 accident when he turned to look at the couple's dog and drove into the back of a firetruck. His suit claimed the celebrity couple were negligent in allowing their five-year-old golden retriever to wander away from their Westport home and onto

In 1980, Shepherd had been the investigator into the shotgun deaths of Playmate of the Year Dorothy Stratten (real name Dorothy Hoogstraaten) and her husband Paul Snider. INJUDICIOUS JUDGES When New York police approached a car where they had seen four men place two large duffel bags, the men fled. Police searched the trunk and found 80 pounds of cocaine. The driver confessed in a 40minute videotaped statement that this was one of more than 20 large drug buys she had made in Manhattan. Judge Harold Baer threw out the confession, ruling it stemmed from an unreasonable search since the fact that the police observed four men running away was not unusual. He explained that since residents in the area regard the police as corrupt and abusive, what would have been unusual is if they had not fled. •

FREEWHEELIN' Funny how "Thunder" (Seven Days, Weekly Mail, May 29) discriminates old-time skateboarders from those whippersnapper in-line skaters. Here, I've thought they were all the same bunch of PLYTIs (People a Lot Younger Than I). Ah, the history! Twenty years of skateboarding: 'Mirids me of the rollerskates my friends had back in the '40s. Quiet and not much for acrobatics, but we nailed 'em to boards and had scooters as obnoxiously loud as skateboards. Ah! The arrogance of people on wheels, the noisier, the more so. Ah! The thrill of my first subway ride, of finding something, at last, I could keep my balance on while in motion! Ah, Thunder, you write like the Usenet. — Fred G. Hill Burlington

CLASSICAL BLAST" We appreciated Seven Days giving us a boost with its inclusion of our concert on the "To Do" list (page 15, May 29 issue) and its highlighting of our status as an "all Vermonter" ensemble. That being said, we were dismayed by your reference to the Vermont Symphony Orchestra as a possible "misnomer," and by your related inaccurate claim that 70 percent of the VSO's members are from out of state (the actual number of full-time Vermont residents in the VSO fluctuates from concert to concert). While we hope that our mission to be a professional ensemble staffed by local musicians is one reason the concert-going public will want to hear us play and support us, our aim in not to bash other organizations that do not have a similar mission. It is regrettable that the boost you gave us seemed to come at the expense of another musical organization in the state. Next to VPR, the VSO does more to market and promote classical music than anyone in Vermont; we know you meant well, but beating up on the VSO really does not help us. — Ira Morris Hinesburg

SWEETSER AND FRIENDS In politics, the saying that "you can ajudge a person by the company they keep" rings especially true. Thus, it is no surprise that Susan Sweetser is trying to distance herself from House Majority Leader Dick Armey, who hosted her recent campaign fundraiser. Given John Ackerson's attempt

RESUME: KEEP IT SHORT The Tom Frank piece, "The Exalted Resume," in your June 5 issue was both off the mark and naive. Menus, college catalogues and resumes all have two things in common. First: the eloquence of the pitch is inversely proportional to the quality of the product. Second: just about everyone takes such elaboration with a grain of salt. Consider menus. If a restaurateur wants to charge $10 for a hamburger he will describe same with at least a paragraph in his menu. Whereas for a topquality piece of meat the menu will simply say, "Filet Mignon cooked to order." Consider also college catalogues. If a credit course lacks any real substance, demands little effort or intelligence and no prerequisites, then it will have a description that insinuates that the mystery of the universe will be unlocked to its attendees. Whereas a course of real substance, such as organic chemistry, will be described succinctly and without elaboration. Now let us get to resumes. Assume a student who has graduated from Harvard maxima cum laude, has been the debate team captain, has nine varsity letters from a variety of sports and was awarded two brilliancy prizes while an exchange student at the University of Paris. This student need not write a resume morethan a half-page long to have any worthwhile door opened to him. By contrast, the mediocre student of ordinary intelligence who has lazed his way to a degree will require three or four pages of elaboration to describe himself. Is there any intelligent person left in America who takes seriously the pretentious descriptions contained in menus, college catalogues or resumes? — Raymond Leary Shelburne

{Seven Days, May 29) to character-

ize Armey's visit as a sign of "the level of respect that Susan has

already garnered in Washington," let's take a look at just whose respect Susan has garnered. When speaking about Social Security, Armey said, "I think we're going to have to bite the bullet on Social Security and phase it out over a period of time." In 1985, Armey said he wanted to end government loans to students, calling them, "an income transfer from the working person to the one who looks for the easier route...who chooses not to work their way through school." Armey referred to the Family and Medical Leave Act as "yuppie welfare...a perverse redistribution of income." More recently, Armey said he would oppose an increase in the minimum wage with "every fiber of my being," and that he would work toward its ultimate elimination. These are the words of Dick Armey, not Susan Sweetser. But as the host of Sweetser's first public fundraising event, Armey's record is fair game. We already know that Bernie Sanders stands with the elderly, the poor, working and middle-class families. Vermonters deserve to know who Sweetser stands lor and the type of company she would keep in Congress. — Brian Pine Burlington Letters P o l i c y :

Dear Cecil, I have always laughed at people who, before opening a carbonated drink which has been shaken, tap the top of the can with their finger so that it doesn't explode upon opening. After lengthy arguments, we even performed a semiscientitic experiment by shaking a drink and opening it with and without tapping the top, but with no solid scientific conclusion. We would like to know what you, in your infinite wisdom, think of this. ~ Benjie Balser, Dallas, Texas

This is not a problem that requires infinite wisdom, Benj. This is a problem that requires an IQ above 2, apparently a stretch for some folks these days.

ness, in case Coke physicists had discovered quantum mechanical aspects of beverage carbonation that had previously eluded the notice of science. However, they didn't return my calls. There ate two possible explanations for this: (1) everybody was out in the plant stamping out souvenir Olympic bottles, or (2) Cecil's message was a little too detailed. This is an inherent risk in my business. If you tell some low-level gatekeeper type you have a question about poultry, you may actually get through. Tell them you want to know which end of the egg comes out of the chicken first, and they'll have security trace the call. No matter. First let's consider the matter from a theoretical perspective. Carbonation is produced by forcing carbon dioxide into solution with H2O under pressure. Shake up the can and you create thousands of micro-size bubbles. Each bubble offers a tiny surface where CO2 can rapidly come out of solution, creating the potential for explosive fizzing

should you open the can prematurely. Wait a while though, and the bubbles will float to the top of the can and disappear, and eventually all will be as before.

But suppose you're the impatient type. You tap the can. What, pray tell, is this supposed to accomplish? Are we going to noodge the tiny bubbles to the surface faster, after the manner of herding cows? Right. Are we going to maybe dislodge a few bubbles that have stuck to the sides of the can? Maybe we are, but the difference is slight. Open that baby and you're still going to get a faceful of froth. f-

We confirmed this to our satisfaction out in the Straight Dope Backyard of Science with a half-dozen cans of soda pop. OK, so I didn't replicate my results 50,000 times. I figure if extraordinary claims demand extraordinary evidence, stupid claims demand, well, something a little less rigorous. I should tell you that when I had little Ed broach this issue recently on the Usenet, he heard from a science teacher, among others, who insisted tapping the can really did reduce fizzing and bragged about a classroom demonstration he did to make just this point. No wonder today's youth are going to the dogs, I thought. But to be sure, I called up physicist Jearl Walker, who's written about the physics of beverage carbonation in Scientific American. Jearl, you'll remember, is the guy who used to plunge his hand into a vat of molten lead as a classroom demonstration of the Leidenfrost effect. This makes him either certifiably crazy or a genius - in either case, somebody you want to listen to

with an attitude of respect. Jearl had heard similar claims about the efficacy of tapping and had a similar reaction: These guys are nuts. He said he could only attribute the persistence of the practice to the same suppressed macho ethic that makes people tap the ends of their cigarettes before lighting up. If you want a real solution, try this. It's an implacable fact that a warm can of pop that's all shook up will fizz more than a shaken cold can. If you absolutely must pop the top on that jug of Jolt, stick it in the fridge first. You'll chill the contents and chill the carbonation too, an inevitable consequence of increased gas solubility and Charles's law. - CECIl ADAMS

GENEROSITY F R O M THE M O U N T A I N T O P Last week we touched on the battle between Bernie Sanders and WGOP-TV, excuse me, WCAX-TV. This week it's come to our attention that the television station's owner, Stuart "Red" Martin, has been a little too generous in his support of Ol' Bernardo's challenger, Susan Sweetser. According to Susie Creamcheese's campaign director, Darcie Johnston, the Sweetser campaign had to return $500 to Red Martin because he exceeded the $2000 limit on individual contributions. Apparently Red just lost track of his campaign donations and completely forgot about an early donation to Sweetser's campaign war chest. Red told Inside Track this week he wants "to chip in as much as I can...I feel I'm doing a public service if we remove Bernie Sanders." . You see, Red's of the opinion that Bernie is responsible for everything that's gone wrong around here in the last 15 years. "We'd have the Southern Connector today if it wasn't for Bernie," charged Red. He claims Bernie went to Washington to get 'em to put the Pine Street Barge Canal site on the Superfund list. Excuse me, your Redness, but yours truly was in the thick of that one; the Pine Street Barge Canal made the first Superfund list because Vermont's Bob Stafford chaired the Senate committee that wrote the federal Superfund law. Stafford was looking for at least one Vermont site to put on the national list in the old "bring home the bacon" style of representation. At the time, the barge canal had been getting a lot of ink in the old Vanguard Press— the timing was perfect for Stafford. Changing the subject, yours truly asked Red about Ch. 3's embarrassing little problem up on top of Mt. Mansfield. You see, that's where the W C A X transmitter is, and it's staffed 24 hours a day. That's also where environmental officials discovered a real stinker of a mess relating to the Ch. 3 mountaintop toilet. "We're practically felons!" joked Red when asked about the matter. The District 5 Environmental Commission has given Ch. 3 until July to come up with a solution to its pollution problem on top of Vermont's highest peak. Red says everything's under control. The station, he says, looked at an incineration system to recycle the waste of transmitter personnel. No shit! The commission ordered Ch. 3 to install an "incinerating toilet." But W C A X Vice-President Peter Martin told Inside Track this week there was a little electrical problem with that solution. Now, he says, the likely solution to Ch. 3's mountaintop pollution will be the installation of a sand filter system. "The question will be," said Peter, "whether or not the agency adopts changes to the environmental protection rules' to allow sand filters." Hey, good luck, guys. We've only got one Mt. Mansfield. GOP Loses a Warrior — H e was the guy Statehouse Democrats loved to hate and he was at the top of the Dems list to unseat in November. But Republican State Sen. Matt Krauss of Barre beat em to the punch last week by announcing he won't seek re-election. Krauss learned his political lessons during two terms in the House during the reign of Speaker Ralph Wright. He put those lessons to use in the Senate, where he was the upper chamber's most conservative member. No one ticked off the Democrats more than Matt Krauss. He was the number-one Senate roadblock on property tax reform, and that did not endear him to the folks back home — Barre has one of the state's

highest property taxes. Matt decided eight years I under the golden dome was enough. The Dems j would have liked the pleasure of kicking his | butt at the polls, but Krauss wouldn't give them the satisfaction. GOP Chairman Bill Cimonetti says he's disappointed Krauss is hanging it up. "He was an effective senator," says Cimonetti. "He was able to hold things together in the g caucus." Bon wyage, Sen. Krauss. i Locally, the GOP is wooing Shelburne Rep. S Tom Little to fill out their dance card for J Chittenden County Senate candidates. Little 1 would be a shoo-in if he went for a seat in the g upper body. But he isn't taking the bait. Wedding Bells? — Now that Republicans on I Capitol Hill have gotten Bill Clinton to sign onto the "Defense of Marriage Act," which pro- § hibits same-sex marriages, we ran it by i Vermont's EO.B. (Friend of Bill), Gov Howard 1 Dean. Calling the bill "a stinky electoral ploy" | Ho-Ho displayed his political savvy by refusing | to touch the issue with a 10 foot pole. "My position," said Dean, "is I have no interest in discussing it. I think it's a silly issue to be talking about. It's electorally driven. I haven't had any mail on it. I think it's mostly for the purpose of writing interesting columns and I don't intend to indulge in a discussion of gay marriages in an election year." Chickadee-dee-dee? .

A L L A R T : Like a kid in a candy shop. That's how it feels to have access to one of the largest private collections of art in the world. Fleming Museum Curator Janie Cohen just got back from Europe, where she worked out a sweet deal with German chocolatier Peter Ludwig. Last year the Fleming got a sampling of his vast Picasso holdings. Next year looks good for Beuys, DeKooning, Christo and Baselitz. Ludwig is not only open to a long-term lending relationship with the Fleming. H e l l let Cohen have her curatorial way with his works, which are scattered around the world in a dozen Ludwig museums. The thirteenth, in Beijing, opens in November. Pop Art. Russian avantgarde. Contemporary Chinese. "He just keeps on buying and keeps on sharing, which is great," Cohen says of the collector, who reportedly vowed to purchase a work of art every day for the rest of his life. And apparendy did. Ludwig was the owner of a Vermont dairy farm when he discovered the Fleming. An honorary degree from the University of Vermont turned his interest to affection. But it was a catalog essay by Janie Cohen that elevated his status to sugar daddy and convinced him to entrust the museum with his priceless Picasso prints — their first viewing in the United States. Ludwig was pleased with Janie Cohen the results, and with the awardwinning catalog now on sale at the Museum of Modern Art. His pop works on paper are the focus of the next big show, scheduled for next fall. In the meantime, Ludwig has offered to send over a smaller show of Picasso portraits by Spanish photographer Roberto Otero. Ludwig saw the exhibit in Cologne and bought the whole thing. Maybe someone could convince him to make a side trip to Shelburne.

POWERS STRUGGLE:

Ron Powers is out. The Pulitzer Prizewinning prof resigned from Middlebury College recently when his wife, Honoree Fleming, was denied tenure. She taught biochemistry using the "socratic method," according to Powers, who faults a "corporatizing trend" at the college for the big dis. Fleming has since been snatched up by Trinity College, where she will chair the Department of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. Until further notice, Powers is working on a new biography and the occasional op-ed piece criticizing his former employer for its "unpopular development plans," including a deal to sell off land for a new Price Chopper on Route 7. Powers sees Wal-Mart in the works.

M E M O R I A L DAZE: Count one more veteran for Memorial Auditorium. "We are not going to be doing any big presenting next year, and widi that, goes the marketing job," says Doreen Kraft, director of Burlington City Arts. That spells unemployment for Marshall Pierce, who predicts "tough times ahead" for Memorial Auditorium. Kraft has convened yet another group to study the building —- a "20-day drop-dead task force" that includes heavy hitters Bill Truax, Bob Miller, Skip Farrell, Bill Schubart, Andrea Rogers, Chico Lager and Roger Perry. 1 We plan to explore all the options, once and for all," says Kraft, who expects to hear solutions ranging from demolition to a publicprivate partnership. The Burlington City Arts Board is more interested in firming up a future for the Firehouse Gallery — with ice cream out of the picture, the only downtown art space may actually stand a chance. IN BRIEE:

Three Needs lost four points on its first health inspection — one for each canine curled up under the bar. The dogs add to the charm of the place, but apparently some anonymous cat lover complained to the health department. That's grounds for a shutdown if the bar fails to comply. Now you can find the pups whining outside . . . Federal arts dollars are hard to come by these days. That could mean a merger of the Barre Opera House and Onion Rivers Arts Council in Central Vermont. "It is probably going to happen. I don't know when and I'm not sure how," says Diane Manion, acting director of Onion River Arts. Both organizations are looking for permanent leaders right now — along with the Vermont Council on the Arts . . . Speaking of leadership, the National Endowment for the Arts is pretty much broke. But Jane Alexander found a discretionary million to finance a last-ditch initiative chat singles out a dozen sites across the country to identify and foster projects featuring dance artists of regional and national significance.

,here is no greater outing than an HIV diagnosis," Peter Kurth says of his own crystallizing moment seven years ago. "When I found out, the scenery changed." Kurth is a Burlington, author and board member of Vermont CARES. He describes his relatively new role as an AIDS activist like coming out all over again. Kurth was still basking in the success of his internationally acclaimed biography of the Romanov princess Anastasia, perhaps the world's greatest enigma, when he ran headlong into the world's most enigmatic disease. "A friend of mine once said, knowing"you have HIV is like walking in three feet of sand while everyone else walks on the sidewalk," he explains. "It's heroic to go on. But Kurth had found inspiration, and an occupation, by tracing the footsteps of three irresistibly alluring, iconic heroines. "I was reluctant to identify myself with them publicly," he says. "I had privately, but not in terms of their characters — rather in terms of their stories." Anastasia, journalist Dorothy Thompson and dancer Isadora Duncan are the stories of Peter Kurth's life. And HIV, he says, will not be the subject of his death. Anastasia first piqued Kurth's curiosity when he was still a young boy growing up in Burlington. He was fascinated by his mother's reaction to an Ingrid Bergman film about a woman who claimed to be the Russian Grand Duchess. History tells us that Tsar Nicholas II and his striking family were killed in 1918 during the Russian Revolution. Anna Anderson, however, insisted that she survived the slaughter. She spent years in and out of mental hospitals in Germany and was evaluated by emigres of the Russian monarchy scattered across Europe. In 1984, Anna/Anastasia died in Charlottesville, Virginia. She lived long enough to read Kurth's riveting, meticulously researched acknowledgment of her birthright. After his graduation from the University of Vermont in 1976, and a brief marriage, Kurth spent five years uncovering the mystery of Anna Anderson. He learned much about his own mysteries in the process. "Anastasia was my real education," says the now 42year-old writer. Her struggle for identity became a metaphor for his coming-out as a gay man. "She was a desperate creature who spent her entire life saying, 'this is what I am,' and hearing people saying, 'no you're not,'" Kurth says. "The Anastasia mystery is everyone's deepest nightmare come true. It's a mirror everyone can read

into what they want." That mirror also reflects, in some ways, the 20th century "The murder of this family marks the beginning of genocide," Kurth asserts. "The Romanovs were the image of a functional family despite their political stupidity. They put a human face on the suffering of the century, much like Anne Frank. Their deaths ushered in an age when people are expendable even if they are guiltless." Anastasia: The Riddle of Anna Anderson, first published in 1983 and now in its 14th edition, is considered the definitive book on the woman whom Kurth believes was indeed Anastasia Nicolaievna, daughter of Tsar Nicholas II. Both writer and subject found fame through her claim. "I was biographer of the hour for about an hour," he recalls wryly "Suddenly, I had a career if I wanted it." Kurth says he hadn't set out to be a writer; the story drew him to it. And, of course, there was the tantalizing idea that he might be the one to finally verify Anastasia's identity. Anna/Anastasia's struggle encouraged Kurth to be true to himself, to be without secrets. "I have learned that being gay isn't a question of acceptance," he says. "When family and friends said things like, 'We want you to know that this is okay with us,' I began to understand why gays are so angry. Sexuality is not to be approved of or disapproved of. It just is." Kurth has found that being HIV-positive demands that he be "in your face." He's certain that progress is not made by smoothing things over. "If we had waited for understanding," he says, "there wouldn't have been a civil rights revolution." As a client representative to the board of Vermont CARES, Kurth is a voice for the very people the organization was designed to serve. "It is critical that clients are empowered, not disempowered," says Bennett Law, chair of the board. "And Peter is someone they can recognize as sharing their concerns. He can leverage his superior communication skills to make sure their needs are met." Kurth offers his voice to the public as well, through Vermont CARE's First Person Speaker's Bureau, a prevention/education program. According to Law, the image of HIV that still arises for most people isn't in any way associated with their own image. Kurth is willing to be the face of the disease for them. Peter Kurth's HIV diagnosis came while he was finishing his

second biography, about Dorothy Thompson. As the most prominent anti-Nazi in America during the '30s, and the most prolific journalist on the subject, Thompson was wildly controversial. She had lovers of both sexes, in addition to the dubious distinction of being married to the tempestuous novelist Sinclair Lewis. The pair had a summer home, incidentally, in southern Vermont. Thompson struggled as a woman and as a writer. Her lifestyle was considered aberrant, her views eccentric. She tried to warn the world about Hitler and was dubbed a Cassandra. Kurth prefers to call her an inspiration. "She gave me personal and professional confidence," he declares. "Her life was a splendid example — filled with integrity, thoughtful and wellinformed." Kurth admired the fact that Thompson was genuinely concerned about the direction of contemporary society, that she posed difficult questions, under the backdrop of Hitler, about the role of the individual in that society. With the backdrop of HIV, Kurth turned the questions on himself after An American Cassandra: The Life of Dorothy Thompson was published, and critically acclaimed, in 1990. Understandably, Kurth "reacted badly" to his diagnosis.

J I M ' S BIG EGO, MORE SONGS ABOUT ME (Tangible Music, CD) — The ego in question would be that of Somerville music-scene legend Jim Infantino. After a couple of releases featuring his solo singer-songwriter thing, though, the man's learned how to share the stage: with John Kiehne on Chapman stick (not to be confused with Chapstick) and drummer Tom Maher. And all three sing. Guess Infantino's ego isn't that big. In fact, we're talking Mr. Tongue-in-Cheek. Infantino has a mighty sense of the absurd, the ironic and the all-fucked-up. From the social commentary of the CD's opener, "Desperate Times," to the more personal tone of its 14th (OK, one song is only 12 seconds long), Infantino puts intelligence, wry humor and an idiosyncratic gift of the gab to good use. Not to mention a warm baritone, decent guitarwork and clever sampling. Not all the songs are about Infantino on the satisfying More Songs About Me. Like the best songs, they're about all of us. Infantino returns to Burlington with Big Ego in tow — opening for fellow Boston-based singer-songwriter Peter Mulvey at Metronome this Saturday.

realize he'd been running in place. The illness wiped him out in more ways than one. "Thank God," he says. "It was so cleansing." To make up for lost funds, Kurth began writing for "shiny magazines" — Vanity Fair, Forbes, Cosmopolitan — about everything from men's fashion to Fergie. He also accepted a commission to create an opulent coffee-table book on the Tsars of Russia. More recently, he wrote the introduction to Burlington writer/artist Eleanor Lanahan's book about the artistic output of her grandmother, Zelda Fitzgerald — another famous, iconic woman. To make up for lost time, Kurth started giving serious thought to the prospect of life as a gay HIV-positive man. Healthy and headstrong, he moved back to Burlington in 1995 and started questioning — Dorothy Thompson style — both the gay agenda and the straight community's sensibilities. If Anastasia gave him the courage to find the truth, then Thompson gave him the strength to speak it. "I had to challenge myself on how many of my ideas were mine because I thought them or because I was told to think

them," he explains. "I'm not politically correct. I don't actually believe the government has been murdering us all these years." Kurth notes that some may view him as right-wing or heretical when he suggests that everyone should be responsible for their own actions. "Yes, the government can help or hurt, but they aren't sticking needles in our arms," he says. "And I don't believe the response [to AIDS] has been slow. It's been going on for 15 years and there has been a huge amount of progress." Kurth hangs tough on other unpopular views as well. Like same-sex marriage. "Why do we want access to an institution that isn't working for anybody?" he asks. "Let's put this energy into laws that protect everybody. Maybe there should be a legal waiting period for all marriages." Isadora Duncan, the subject of Kurth's third biography, still in progress, would surely have agreed. The unconventional "mother of modern dance" performed for President Roosevelt when she was six months pregnant — and unmarried. "She was the flower of this struggle for individuals to fulfill themselves completely and at all levels — spiritually, emotional-

ly, intellectually," Kurth enthuses. "She was relentless in her attention to them and she was ridiculed for her beliefs," he explains. "But when she danced, she was the most beautiful thing anyone had ever seen. And she would say, 'I have only danced my life.'" In some ways Duncan is both a culmination and combination of Kurth's previous literary subjects. "She had the

the other women. "The rhythm of my prose has to match her dancing. There's no film record of it, so I want people to feel like they have seen her dance by reading this book." Duncan's life was fractured by the tragic drowning of her children. At the time of her own infamous death — one of her long scarves caught in the wheel of a convertible and broke her neck — she was a very tortured woman. But Duncan never stopped dancing; her final work was considered genius. Her last words were said to be, "Good-bye friends, I'm going to glory." Kurth relates to Duncan's tragedy through the friends that he has lost. Their stories, too, have a sharp dividing line — before AIDS and after. Kurth plans to write about this particular struggle not through the lives of long-dead famous women, but in "something more autobiographical." "The world looks so different with HIV, but knowing that there are people who went before me is one of the few comforts. I hope I can do that for somebody. I don't regard myself as some great humanitarian," Kurth proclaims. "But I do feel so strongly about these issues that, if I weren't gay, I'd have to be." •

artsville this year. Last fall, funding shortfalls shut down eight-year summer theater veteran White River Theatre Festival and promising newcomer, the Johnson Summer Repertory Theatre. This spring, the Vermont Council on the Arts barely survived funding cuts. Yet here we are in June and the 1996 Vermont summer theater schedule looks — dare I say it? — healthy. How are the state's surviving summer venues making it? Very carefully. Look at this year's crisp new season brochures — filled with crowd-pleasing comedies, musicals, mysteries, classics and popular contemporaries, plus money-saving smallcast shows — and you'll get a quick lesson in theater survival. Most artistic directors are taking no chances. Few are betting that crowds will turn out for new work — perpetuating that catch-22 cycle which keeps experimental forms, controversial subjects, plays by women, minorities or non-Western playwrights off most Vermont stages. As is the case nationwide, today's anti-arts funding climate, combined with audience predilection for "comfort theater," are limiting what we get to see. Make no mistake, I'll be in line for as many Shakespeares, Agatha Christies and fluffy revues as the next gal. But what's most impressive about this year's line-up are the few brave producers who've taken risks to bring us something different. Time will tell if their choices are worth the ticket price, but the following folks deserve a nod for some atypical summer selections. Bread and Puppet Theatre, which stages topical, largerthan-life outdoor extravaganzas. Dorset Theatre Festival, with a quirky new Joan Ackerman comedy, Stanton's Garage, and the moving Pulitzer Prize-winning drama The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-theMoon Marigolds by Paul Zindel. Stephen Goldberg, arguably Vermont's most prolific resident playwright, takes the plunge again with his latest self-produced drama, The Taboo of Fantasy, about community controversy over a strip club. Unadilla Theatre, presenting the world premiere of Plum Crazy, Paula Plum's zany one-

The following are imagined lines of dialogue from actual plays — lines that would bring the plot to a screeching halt if they were uttered. See if you can match the early exit lines with the actual play.

ackpacking is no picnic. But it doesn't have to be Kraft Macaroni and Cheese Dinner, either. As if sleeping on the ground, not showering and being eaten by black flies isn't punishment enough, a lot of backpackers seem to take perverse pleasure in suffering through meals as well.

My own brother spent last summer camping solo in the Adirondacks. I joined him one weekend and noticed he didn't look quite right — his skin had this weird greenish pallor and he smelled pretty odd, too. As we set up camp and started dinner, he boasted about climbing all 46 "high peaks" on gorp alone. That same weekend we ran into a guy who had hiked the entire Appalachian Trail fueled by instant potato buds. Now maybe it's v me, but it seems flk^V

that hiking is a whole lot more fun if you sit down to some warm, satisfying tasty dinner at night. And I'm not talking about lugging coolers full of tenderloin, goat cheese and fresh raspberries up the mountain, although under the right circumstances — sherpas — that would definitely be heaven on earth. Dinner in the woods should be something to look forward to, not a date with yet another foil packet of powdered cheese. In those last agonizing miles at the end of the day, let your mind turn to dinner dilemmas: Pasta or rice? Lentils or peas? And don't restrict yourself to dinner. Avid Long Trail hiker Matt Stacey suggests planning a big meal for lunch, which gives you plenty of daylight for clean-up and a nice rest in the middle of the day. Either way, plan one hot meal a day and fill in the gaps with trail food — this is where gorp belongs. Sharon Village, 9 a.m. - 7 p.m. $18. Info, 457-2779.

CAMPING CUISINE

With a little fore|;| thought, it's possible to put out some great food over a little camp stove. I've tried some of those backpackers' freeze-dried dinners — and let's just say I'm glad they're so expensive. The best food to take camping is real food — normal everyday stuff you would actually eat at home. Grains and beans are perfect. They're lightweight, versatile and nutritional dynamos. While a night or two in the woods may not tax your fortitude, you do need to think vitamins if you are out for much longer — or, like my brother, you may emerge from the woods looking like green M&Ms. ROLLING ON A RIVER: And you thought flipping a kayak took coordination. Check out the canoe rolling demo at the sixth annual Canoe and Kayak Festival

The general idea is to cook everything in one pot. Start with the slower-cooking beans, and add things as you go. Don t bother draining the cooking

Beans: Stick with quick-cooking beans like lentils (especially the red ones), split peas and littie navy beans. A great tip is to soak the beans in a water bottle

water — your body probably needs the extra fluid — just season it up and get ready for a thick, soul-warming stew. If you've got your heart set on eating mac and cheese and want to drain the noodles, just save the water, add a few bouillon cubes and seaweed and have a first course of broth. This saves fuel, water and nutrients. Don't worry about measuring or timing, just make plenty. "Food always tastes better outdoors," Stacey says, "and there's never enough of it."

For gourmet grub on the trail, here are some of the basics: Grains: White rice, couscous, bundles of rice noodles, orzo, macaroni — all small and quick-cooking.

Seasoning: Dried herbs, curry, garlic salt, bouillon cubes, chili paste, soup mix, salt, pepper. A good variety of spices means that every meal won't taste the same. Vegetable: Hard vegetables like carrots, potatoes and squash easily last a week. Canned Food: Jeff Wimette, Yellow Dog chef and a Long Trail veteran, swears by small cans of tomato, tuna and chicken. "If you want to eat well," he says, "you've got to be willing to carry a little extra weight."

swimmers squeamish. Here the Lake Champlain monster allegedly lurks, and so do largemouth bass. Smallmouth, on the other hand, prefer colder waters and rocky shorelines. This month's issue of the new Vermont Outdoors Magazine, as well as The Lake Champlain Fishing Guide, published by the Department of Fish and Wildlife, both offer suggestions for locating prime bass habitats throughout Lake Champlain. I was happy to learn that many of these bass waters are more

rod, I resembled a witless parody of Robert Redford's take on A River Runs Through It. I was, in other words, more amusing than threatening to the trout in the stream meandering through the fields around my home. The romantic image I pursued was of a perfectly articulated fly cast through the low-hanging trees sheltering my stream. The reality? Ducking fish hooks and clinging to those limbs as I tried to retrieve one of my precious flies from their grasp. Someone once said that days spent fishing didn't count against one's lifetime allotment. Me, I think I was doing double time for every moment spent with a fly rod. Recently, however, my enthusiasm for the sport has made its comeback. Something about the lengthening days and warmer temperatures, the talk of bass and trout, the waters of lake Champlain sparkling before me. I decided to give fly fishing one more chance. Soon I found myself speaking with local fishing guide services and outfitting stores, all lull of advice on getting started, and how to take advantage of Lake Champlain. I first spoke with Justin Rogers, a Forest Service fisheries biologist, fly casting REEL instructor and fishing guide based in Ripton. Lake Champlain has a "wide range of species," he assured me, that will provide plenty of excitement on a fly rod. Rogers describes Champlain as a "virtually untapped resource" for fisherman — he reserves particular excitement for the potential of smallmouth and largemouth bass. Bass, he says, are "much more aggressive than the more traditional trout" — they will leap with spectacular aerial displays for "bass bugs" on a fly rod. For the beginning fly fisherman, bass make for a better target than the more finicky trout. My advisors suggested searching the shallow weed beds throughout Lake Champlain — the very territory that makes j

easily approached by boat or canoe — and away from those pesky trees. Rhey Plumley helped fill a few gaps in my equipment repertoire. Plumley is manager of Classic Outfitters, a fly fishermen outfitting store in Winooski's Champlain Mill. The store also offers a comprehensive fly fishing school. The essential components of a beginners outfit, he said, would run about $125 to $150. I still had an adequate rod and a healthy selection of flies, so a new reel and some good line, I thought, would prepare me for the task ahead. Plumley talks as readily about ethics and ecology, and

ing the heavy line considerable distances into the Winooski River, not far from its mouth by Lake Champlain. In less than an hour, I began to grasp what a quality cast is supposed to feel like, and I had no interest in giving Plumley his rod back. Without so much as a hook on the end of my line, I was drawn into the excitement of the sport. I began to see that fly fishing presents a lifelong series of challenges — and endless opportunities to live in the moment. I left Plumley with a muchimproved cast and a great deal more respect for my new sport. W h o knows? Soon I might even try to catch a fish. •

disbelief that inevitably accompany a woman's diagnosis. Entering the exhibit, visitors are immediately faced with Paulette Carr's chilling, bruise-colored sculpture of a bald, grieving woman raking her fingers across her face as she cradles her severed breast at her chest. The work, entitled, "Oh, God, Why Me?!!!" is a gut-wrenching expression of absolute anguish. Betsy Carol Stock Noorzay's powerful mixed-media pieces convey the helplessness, isolation and anonymity too often felt by patients. "Waiting" shows a woman sitting in a wheelchair within the seemingly endless expanse of a hospital corridor that could easily be a factory assembly line. In "Surgery," a naked patient cowers on a table littered with spilled wine glasses while the green-masked medical team hovers above her, knife and fork in hand. Other images address their themes more obliquely. Trees provide an effective motif for many pieces. A soapstone carving by Jill Lion, entitled "How a Double Mastectomy Feels," shows a tree trunk with its limbs sawed flat. "All Roads are Bent" is a handmade book whose covers are slabs of rough composition board with metal wires stapled across it, scarlike. "So you thought growth was good," creator Susan Bohm speculates inside. Christina Cutts Middlebrook turns the tree image around in "The

Felling," a poem included in a videotape by Sherry Thomas-Zon. Describing the ordeal of telling her children about her disease, Middlebrook writes, "The radiologist handed me a chainsaw." Here the cancer patient herself is not the one damaged. Rather, each child who hears the news is another tree cut down. The snarl of the chainsaw, the tolling of the bells, the voices of Middlebrook and the other poets carry to every corner of the gallery. All the artists represented provide written comments on their work and on the act of creating them. A journal asks visitors to enter "Heal1ng Legacles ,"

This week-, Vermonters will have two chances to meet Matuschka. Thursday, the activist photographer will participate in a panel discussion entitled, "Fixing Breast Cancer: An Art Which Crosses the Boundaries/' Mautuschka will be joined by Dr. Winston Lewis, a Burlington clinical psychologist specializing in illness, and associate professor of radiation and oncology Dr. Peter Swift. The panel will be moderated by Virginia SofFa, co-founder of the Burlington-based Breast Cancer Action Group and creator of the Healing ' Legacies Art Registry. Fleming Museum Auditorium, June 13, 7:30 p.m., free and open to the public. The Fleming exhibit will be open for viewing 6:30-7:30. Matuschka will also be a featured presenter at the Joanne Rathgeb Memorial Awards for Activism in Breast Cancer this Friday. The award was created by the family of Rathgeb, who directed, with her husband Donald, the Drama Department at Saint Michael's College and was active in raising awareness of breast cancer until her death last year. Twelve local women will be honored for their contributions, and Matuschka herself will receive a special award. The event includes dinner, dancing and an auction.

turned against you. It probably seems like I've been taunting and admonishing and critiquing you for weeks. Now, for the first time, I can reveal the full story behind my apparent betrayal. The tnith is, sweetheart, I've been immunizing you. You might want to compare what Ive done to a doctor who, in the first year of a baby's life, administers a series of shots designed to build up the child's ability to fight off various diseases. You'll be glad to know your treatment's finished. I'm confident you've been so thoroughly strengthened by my tough love that you won't catch any of the contagious madness that'll be going around in the coming months.

her perspective.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): A "virtuoso" is a talented person who does one

"Joan's Shoes, "like the "Healing Legacies" exhibit as a whole, resonates on several levels. It demonstrates the therapeutic value of art. It is a lasting legacy of its creator. It articulates a personal response to a situation shared by all too many. And, as Durham herself suggests in her accompanying remarks, it also represents an unexpected gift: a work of beauty, born out of damage. •

thing with supernatural skill. The term "versatile virtuoso" makes no sense, really since it implies someone with several stunning talents. And yet I'm tempted to call you exactly that these days. You seem to be demonstrating an almost excessive number of aptitudes. As you revel in your extreme competence, let me sound one warning. Please try to distinguish between awesome displays of skill that impress the hell out of everyone and awesome displays of skill that further your goals, As much as you might feel the urge to juggle chainsaws while balancing a chair on your chin and reciting Hamlets soliloquy — or whatever the equivalent of that might be in your own life — I suggest you stick to more constructive displays.

CANCER (Ju ne 21-July 22): I guess you've got the "hundred years of solitude" routine down pretty well. By now some of your friends and associates are probably thinking about reporting you as a missing person. You're way, way beyond the point of being a riddle wrapped inside a conundrum. I'm fantasizing that you've made yourself so indecipherable that you'll have to hire a professional code-breaker jusr to explain you to yourself once you gecready to become visible again. And it is that time — to become visible again. You've squeezed all the learning experiences you possibly can out of your disappearance. So please return to us. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Well, beauty and truth fans, here it is: the expose of the year; the trick ending of the century; die strangest happiness of the millenium. You're about to unlock the inside story behind the inside story behind the inside story. Start gasping now so you can build up to the breathtaking climax when the old link is cut to make way for an even more ultimate symbiosis.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Once upon a time, on a night when a thousand beautiful lies came true, your fears threatened to abandon you. "What?!" you protested. "And leave me bereft of my motivating force?!" And so your fears hovered there — half-gone, half-clinging to you. Just then a mysterious envoy arrived and slipped you a golden apple — which you took just one bite of and cast aside. Alas, had you eaten it all, you would have acquired the courage to drive your fears away. That was then. This is now. This week, finally, the legend resumes. Another mysterious envoy is ready to bring you another golden apple — but only if you can prove you intend to devour the whole thing this time. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Mirthful shock! Welcome breakdown! Laughing words will be heard from afar, delivering you from a "necessary" evil! Lucid manias! Deathless gazes! Long-lost stories told by strange voices will free you from business that should never have been yours in the first place! Mysterious wishes zooming in from the frontiers! Fresh memories and once-forbidden pleasures bubbling up from below! Secrets of your past will soon begin to reinvigorate the quest of a lifetime! SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Scorpio poet Ezra Pound toiled at the same long poem for $0 years, even during his 12-year stay at a mental hospital. The 20th century's most influential painter, Scorpio Pablo Picasso, began his innovative career at age 14 and was still experimenting with new forms of expression more than 70 years later. Scorpio actress Demi Moore rode her bicycle 24 miles one day when she was nine months pregnant. These three Scorpio artists exemplify the prodigious, brilliantly dogged spirit which you, I predict, will embody this week. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Last night I had my recurring dream of going bonkers and trying to eat broken glass. Only this dream was different than all the previous times. Three Sagittarian friends intervened. Risking personal injury, these samaritans snatched the shards out of my hand and flung them out of reach. When I later came to my senses, I was embarrassed and grateful. As the dream ended, I handed each Sagittarius a check for 1000 dollars. Dream interpretation: This is a harbinger of your week ahead. Every time you remove a thorn from a lion's paw or a burr from a companion's soft underbelly, you'll be generously rewarded. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In honor of your graduation from the third level of hell, I'll quote Albert Einstein. "The significant problems we face," he said, "cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them." In other words, the very purpose of your problems — their gift to you — is to trick you into outgrowing them. But you knew that, right? Which is why I predict you'll be able to earn full credit for the second and first levels of hell without actually having to take classes there.

AQUARIUS () an. 20-Feb. 18): Please write the following on a piece of paper and keep it under your pillow. "I (put your name here], do solemnly swear on this day [put date here] that I will devote myself for a period of one week to finding out what I desire most. No other thought will be more uppermost in my mind. No other concern, not even sleep or food, shall divert me from hunting down every last clue, every shred of inspiration, that might assist me in my beautiful obsession to find out what or who deserves my most voracious passion."

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): If you watch late-night TV, you know you can go cross-country skiing without leaving the comfort of your home. If you spend much time online, you've probably developed some nice, clean, sexy relationships with faceless entities in cyberspace. These are not necessarily bad things. However, from an astrological point of view, this week would not be a good time to overindulge in them, or in any experiences that are more than half-pretend. I urge you to cut back, at least temporarily, on simulations, surrogates, and one-dimensional substitutes — not just from the land of TV and the Internet, but from everywhere. •

What at this point could possibly be more bogus news than another slambang, monster-budget, pea- brained summer blockbuster with lots of eye-popping digital special effects? One without any eye-popping effects, of course. Sean Connery and Nicolas Cage star in this curiously low-watt action package about a mismatched pair who sneak into Alcatraz to diffuse a crisis. Sean's a former inmate who broke out. Cage plays an FBI scientist specializing in poison gasses. Ed. Harris goes through the psycho motions again this time as a disgruntled career soldier who feels the government mistreated some of the troops who served under him in Operation Desert Storm. He decides to take as hostages a group of tourists visiting the infamous prison and aims a missile filled with a deadly toxin at the city of San Francisco. Demanding the usual millions, Harris gives the Pentagon a matter of hours to come up with the cash, and that means a race against the clock for our heroes, who must break into the heavily guarded fortress and make the mandatory transition from wisecracking adversaries to the best of buddies without a second to spare. The story offers few surprises, fewer thrills and virtually no memorable action sequences. Fueled exclusively by the. force of its stars' charisma, The Rock could qualify for FDA classification as a sleep aid if it weren't for Connery's bearing, Cage's intensity and the forgettable but constantly cranked soundtrack. The direction by Michael (Bad Boys) Bay is as fresh as a bag of week-old bagels, and the script has about as many holes. In fact, the picture is to Cage's suddenly golden career precisely what Broken Wind— I mean Arrow— was to John Travoltas: a reminder of the need to exercise caution while maximizing cachet. ,

BURLINGTON • 216 Lake St.

D R A G O N H E A D * * Who's the most expensive performer in the history of film? Nope, not Stallone, not Jim Carrey. It's Draco, a $22 million computer-generated dragon who sounds suspiciously like Scan Connery. Dennis Quaid co-stars with the 18' x 43' special effect playing a knight who befriends the beast, the last of his kind. THE PHANTOM ( NR) Back-from-the-dead producer Robert Evans may be out of work again soon. He should have heeded the mounting evidence (Tank Girl, Barb Wire, The Shadow, etc.) that audiences have reached superhero overload and are unlikely to welcome this update of the 1930s comic strip with particularly open arms. Billy Zane pulls on the purple tights. I SHOT ANDY WARHOL ( NR) Lili Taylor won the Special Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival for her performance as psycho playwright Valerie Solanas in this highly acclaimed account from director Mary Harron. MISSION: I M P 0 S S I B L E * * Though not particularly accomplished, Brian De Palma's Mission unseated Twister at the top of the box-office standings, and is likely to hover in the general vicinity iMfil, let's say, Independence Day. Tom Cruise presides over this update of the '60s TV series. S P Y H A R D * * Along with all those other reasons to loathe O.J. is the fact that he singlehandedly killed any chance of another Naked Gun sequel. For a second there I worried that Parody Master General Leslie Nielsen might be out of work, but thankfully he stumbled onto this send-up of the secret agent genre. THE C E L L U L O I D CLOSET ( N R ) Acclaimed documentary compiling a history of homosexuality in the movies. Produced and directed by the team of Robert Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman, based on the book by Vito Russo and narrated by Lily Tomlin. E D D I E ( N R ) 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? Weil, 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? 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. 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 WW/y-reminiscent saga of a boy, a mammal and an evil, toxin-spewing corporation.
