CAMPAIGN TACTICS During the 1994 congrt sional race between Sanders and John Carroll someone illegally placed Bernie signs at Carroll headquarters in South Burlington. It was probably just an innocent prank by Sanders supporters. A Carroll volunteer arrived, saw the signs, and started to take them down. Dave Pell of Hinesburg, driving by, observed the signs being removed. Pell drove into the ' parking lot and deliberately (by his own admission) rammed the volunteer's car. Inside the vehicle was the volunteer's teenage daughter. Mr. Pell was arrested and subsequently convicted of careless and negligent driving. In the May 22 Seven Days, a Dave Pell of Hinesburg wrote to warn us to expect nastiness from Sweetser supporters during the upcoming campaign. Could this Dave Pell be the same politically correct moron who deliberately put the life of a child at risk two years ago? — Maurice N. Boisvert South Burlington

NEGATIVE SLANT The out-of-context quote about burning out on the gallery" ("Backtalk," June 5) was unfortunate, as we are, if anything, more excited than ever about our gallery [Furchgott Sourdiffe] as we prepare to move to our new space in the late fall. The gist of my talk with Ms. Routly was that in this business there are many ups and downs: indeed, as I indicated to her, on some days I do feel discouraged, and then the next day* I feel totally exhilarated. The temporarily smaller gallery space we will have after our move is due to the financial constraints of the move itself, and we plan on expanding into a full additional upstairs gallery space in the near future. Despite the sour-grapes-sounding quote Ms. Routly attributed to me, we are very grateful to a supportive and enthusiastic public. It's unfortunate that breaking "news" requires putting such a neg-

FIDDLE-DEE-DEE My initial reaction to seeing The Fiddleheads' Live at Java Love cassette featured in the review section of Seven Days was a positive one. I figured it would be nice to cast some light upon one of Burlington's best "off-beat" groups. Unfortunately, in regular late 20th-century fashion, what could have been a moment of hope turned quickly into a run-of-the-mill put-down. I say "late 20th-century fashion" because it seems that the definition of quality music has been somewhat distorted over the years. Instead of being concerned with content, society at large has become obsessed with technical sound quali-" ty. The Fiddleheads review said absolutely nothing about the content of their songs. That blows my mind. Instead, it focused on the placement of mikes and sound quality exclusively. Call me old-fashioned, but I believe that a music review should focus primarily on, you guessed it, the music. The recording equipment used might be a legitimate secondary concern. Would a book review be a book review if it only evaluated the type of machinery used to print it? Certainly not. The Fiddleheads Live at Java Love is a revolutionary masterpiece. Instead of pumping itself up with studio time and slick recording techniques, the cassette is pure and simple. The "mega lowfi" approach gives it an atmosphere reminiscent of a hazy coffeehouse in Greenwhich Village in the late '60s. Despite the unique backdrop, the strongest aspect of the cassette, by far, is the songwriting. Listen to the songs. Listen to the lyrics. It's the real thing. There's an eloquence and sincerity similar to early Bob Dylan and Arlo Guthrie, a sincerity far too uncommon these days. If for no other reason, The Fiddleheads deserve credit for resisting the juggernaut of technology that has infested every aspect of modern life. Instead, they have chosen to remain true to the lyrics and the song. I'll tell you where to place your mike, because you missed the point entirely. — Matt Newberg Burlington

is one of the mysteries of our age. Admittedly, this is an area where it's unwise to make blanket statements. (Sorry.) It's not like they had the guy under constant surveillance. As one of my high school classmates unwisely asked at the lunch table one day, "What, technically, is the definition of a virgin?" Still, having thus fenced the boundaries of the knowable, we can say that, with the possible exception of one teenage friendship (there's no sign that it became physical), Isaac Newton apparently formed no romantic attachments during his 84 years of life.

covering gravitation," and where would we be without that? Dear Cecil, If the "black boxes" used on aircraft to record voice and flight data are so indestructible, why can't they make the whole plane out of the same stuff? - Terry Surowy, Racine, Wisconsin They must get this question all the time at the National Transportation Safety Board. The guy I talked to didn't miss a beat with the answer: because the intestates aren't wide enough. His point, in case you're new to sarcasm, was that a plane built to blackbox standards would be so heavy you'd have to drive rather than fly it.

Unlike the rest of the aircraft, which is made mostly of light materials such as aluminum and plastic, the cockpit voice recorder and the flight-data recorder are encased in stainless steel boxes roughly 10 inches by 10 inches by five. The steel is maybe a quarter-inch thick, making the boxes so heavy the designers don't even bother enclosing the accompanying electronics. The boxes are lined with a liquid-filled foam bladder encased in plastic that's supposed to protect against the heat of a postcrash fire. Over the years these precautions have proved pretty effective. Investigators got useful data from one recorder that had been immersed in the ocean for seven years. But in another crash in Thailand the recorder landed in a pool of flaming fuel and basically got cooked. One thing the N1SB learned from experience: Be careful where you put these things. Recorders used to be located near the point where the wings joined the fuselage, the theory being that this was the most heavily constructed part of the plane. Problem was, being heavily constructed, the pieces of plane falling on the recorders often crushed them. Now the recorders are put in the tail section so that, assuming your typical crashing plane goes in nose first, the forward part of the airframe absorbs most of the impact. Sitting back there won't help you, though. When a big jet slams into the ground at a couple hundred miles per, the only safe place for humans to be is somewhere else.

NO PAIN MEDICATION i ON HOSPITAL HILL |
Staff morale up on the hill is in negative numbers these days as Vermont's largest medical shopping mall, Fletcher Allen Health Care, - struggles to keep its act together in this bold new age of health care. FAHC spokesman, Mike Noble, understates the crisis when he says, "There are a lot of dynamics in the world of health care these days. The environment is changing where for years it had been pretty stable." Amen. In Vermont the express train has arrived, and health care is changing week by week. The worry factor is rising. In less than a generation we've gone from | family doctor to an 800 number, leaving folks gj more than a little worried. Our sources say more layoffs are coming up on the hill as the Mary Fanny massages its botj| torn line into recovery RNs will be hit the l hardest. You see, the problem with RNs is, they f cost too much and can easily be replaced with I much cheaper LPNs and nurse aides. C'mon, you don't need a college degree to stick a plastic I doohickey in someone's ear to take their temJ perature, do you? The hospital's underground newsletter | that's anything but underground informed staff last week that, starting this fall, they'll have to payforthe "privilege" of parking (while Mayor Peter Clavelle plans to take the | UHC parking lot off the tax I rolls — good boy!). "The J Setting Sun," as workers call it, in contrast to the in-house "Fletcher Allen Sun," predicts | come October, staff will be los1 ing out on their discounts on the chow line on the first floor. " That cost-cuttirtg measure | is not approved yet," says : Noble. "It's merely one of the suggestions that have come I through. There's no implemen| tation date." Eat up while it's I cheap, gang. Same with free parking for m 1 workers, warns "The Setting * Sun." Officials confirm that free | parking is on the controversial suggestion listforcost savings. 8 Can you say "car pool?" One cost-cutting measure | that's beyond the proposal stage I and already enacted has Mary : Fanny's nurses growling. As of this month, nurses can be sent home without pay "during periods of low census or low activity" for up to 16 hours during a 1 two-week pay period. "What about mortgage j payments and retirement benefits?" asks one nurse who was told recently to go home. According to Phillips Kerr, vice president for i human resources, retirement benefits will be | affected because they're based on actual earnings. Also, on-call staff will likely see a change. Currently an OR nurse on call gets two bucks | an hour and, if called in, is guaranteed four hours at time-and-a-half Kerr says a reduction ; to two guaranteed hours is "under considerai tion. Meanwhile, as more layoffs loom and work 1 hours are reduced, guess what the powers-thatbe have under major renovation? No, not the operating rooms, the emer1 gency room or the maternity unit. Give up? The lobby. We're told it's the biggest joke i on Hospital Hill. Noble defends the renovation J by calling it "customer-driven in terms of con1 gestion." Between the waiting room, the main j entrance and the cafeteria, there's a very bad I jam down there during the day, he notes. On the bright side, Kerr reports that the 1 hospital's use of expensive temporary nurses | hired from national agencies will be down to | zero by the end of the week. One year ago, 30 temps were on duty. Bottom line: The times they are a-changin' ^ ^

Until a year ago he drove a delivery truck for the Gannett-owned Detroit News. Then Gannett and Scripps-Howard, owners of J the Detroit Free Press, decided to play hardball | with the workers. (They already have a joint operating agreement that saves millions.) "They ^ canceled contracts and imposed conditions in July 1995," says Shawn. It's put 2500 newspa- J per people out of work. Between them, Gannett and Scripps-Howard own 130 newspapers. "They shape the way Americans think about 1 labor," Shawn adds. He was in the Green Mountains to thank those Vermonters who sent a truckload of foodstuffs out to the strikers a couple months back, and to ask the locals to call the local Gannett outpost, a.k.a The Burlington Free Press, and render their two-cents worth. "I'd like people to dial their 800 number and use Gannett's dime, 1-800-427-3124, and let them know you're disturbed with the fact § they're trying to bust unions in Detroit." Let's g see now...Jim Carey, the president and publisher and a very charming gentleman, would probably be the best guy to ask for. Can't Have It Both Ways — Politics sure is entertaining. Take Bernie Sanders, for example. On the one hand, he's painting his Republican challenger, Susan Sweetser, as a clone of Newt i Gingrich, a.k.a. Evil Incarnate. § But on the other hand, he's J snuggling up to the ultra-conservative Republican chairman of the House Appropriations Committee to successfully save | the Northeast Dairy Compact from the knives of the Democrats. "In the Congress," says Ol' Bernardo, "that's what you do. J You work with people who have « common interests." Chairman Robert Livingston (R-LA), J notes Bernie, wanted to keep his i bill whole, and within his bill ® was the Northeast Dairy | Compact, which I wanted." The rest is history. g • • Media Notes — Good news 1 ^ ^ from the Big Apple. That's | I where former WPTZ camera- g man Ethan Nelson (beloved off- g j j ^ J r spring of UVM's political guru J UM Garrison Nelson), went to seek fame and fortune a few months 1 ago. Well, bingo! First he landed • B ^ a job as a CBS page working "The David Letterman Show." 1 Then, just last week he was plucked from the aisles to be an assistant to one | of the network's big cheeses — Leslie Stahl of "60 Minutes" fame. Bravo! 1 Believe it or not, the longtime also-ran in | the local TV news race is beefing up its staff. | WVNY recently added a fourth full -time » reporter. Danielle Pelletier is a Lyndon State ^ grad. Starting in July, Ch. 22 will be adding | local news breaks with Danielle on the anchor | desk during "Good Morning America." Wing Nuts, Untie! — Oops, I mean Unite! Often political discourse gets pretty serious and very stuffy. That's why it's crucial to have the | contributions of the Wing Nuts. Take Tom Morse, for example. Mr. Property Rights earned at least two things in his 1994 gubernatorial bid: 15,000 votes (7 percent), and an arrest j recordforbreaching the Ch. 3 parking lot g when he was shut out of a debate slot. Howard Dean was on local talk radio Monday propos- 1 ing taking away the cars of drunk drivers when f Tom-Tom called, all in a dither. What about | property rights? asked Underbill's Mr. Foam Products. Sure enough, cars are property. Mr. 8 Foam also took exception to having a sixmonth license suspension for refusing a breath g test. Violates the Fifth Amendment, he said. Of 1 course, Tom-Tom didn't realize that one's already the law of the land. C'mon, Mr. Foam, 1 please runforgovernor. • g

BANKRUPTCY?
The drafters of our Constitution recognized the importance of a perv asive and comprehensive federal system to deal with unmanageable debts. The United States, under constitutional authority, has established bankruptcy laws designed to permit honest people to expunge their overwhelming debts and maximize a return to their creditors. In order to allow honest folks to become productive members of society and regain a place in the economic cycle, debtors may exempt a base level of property from distribution to creditors as foundation for a "fresh start." Vermont 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. 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 of 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.

It's feast or famine for dance lovers in Vermont, and this week requires a healthy appetite. After runs at the Woolen Mill and Rose Street Bakery, Burlington choreographer Hannah Dennison finally landed a proper dance venue with "nice squishy red seats" at -the Flynn. Her multi-generational company is featured in Running Like Mad With Our Eyes Closed— an abstract work of contemporary dance that has something to do with obfuscation, layers and going backward. "I feel like we are breaking some ground here," Hannah Dennison & Working Ground Dennison says of the Dance Theatre 10-day residency that culminates in full staged performances Thursday and Friday at the Flynn. It's the first time a local artist has been given the same access to the theater as world-class types like Trisha Brown and Liz Lerman. . . Kennet Oberly and Larissa Sintsova have been working in relative obscurity since they came to Vermont. Sintsova was dancing with the Estonian National Ballet when she met her choreographer husband. After four years with the Wolcott Children's Ballet, the couple is heading out in August — to the Fort Wayne Ballet. "We like it here, but financially it has been very, very hard," Oberly says. "It was an agonizing decision. This is a chance to have a more normal life, to return to the profession." Their last concert of Goldberg Variations is Friday at Johnson's Dibden Center for the Arts. It features Sintsova dancing to Bach in sync with a muralist capturing the moment on canvas. Wonder how that will go over in Indiana. . . "The Baryshnikov of Spanish Dance" is booked for the Flynn next year. But if you can't wait to see Maria Benitez and her Teatro Flamenco, get it while it's hot next week at the Hopkins Center. The program includes five formal Spanish dances in the traditional flamenco style. Ole moley.

There is no corporate culture in the craft biz. No health insurance, either. That why two potter types passed a hat 11 years ago and started the Craft Emergency Relief Fund — a national organization that comes to the aid of craftspeople in crisis. Formerly in Massachusetts, the national organization is now based in Montpelier, under the direction of Cornelia Carey, a former staffer at the Vermont Council on the Arts. Carey has been getting a lot of calls from burned-out crafters in the Taos area, but one of the largest emergency funds is reserved for Vermont, thanks to contributing entrepreneurs like Charlie Dooley. The organization writes between 25 and 50 checks a year. That should be some comfort next time you crank up the kiln.
MAYBE-MAYBE:
Yes, yes, it's true. Cafe No No, the coffeehouse hang-out in Burlington's Old North End, is converting from a one-man operation to a Last Elm-style collective cafe. "It's not generating enough money. I thought I was going to have to give it up," says Ken Axelson, who lost two partners since opening the beautifully renovated space last fall. "So people rallied. That is how we are running it right now. I don't know how long it will last." You can help out by saying "yes yes" to the No No dance party next Friday.
ART ATTACK:
Sam Kerson was worried about the ItalianAmerican reaction to his depiction of Chris Columbus "discovering" America. But it was mostly women who bjected to the mural in the state office complex in Waterbury after it went up four years ago. Some state employees found it "sexist" because of the bare-breasted native women. The controversy sparked a larger debate about public art — and art in public — that is likely to flair up again if the state has its way. Last week Kerson got a letter from the state engineer informing him the conference room is being converted into a media center and "we desperately need to free up the wall space upon which your painting is mounted." He gives Kerson three options: cover it, move it or take "It seems like the same y all over again," says Kerson, the mural is not a paintng — it's painted on sheetrock. "It is sort of like vandalism. I don't see the difference between this and hitting a sculpture with a hammer." • j une

humbly recommend that you recognize his contributions." Or maybe it was due to the mayor's wife, whose kindly great-aunt in Livingston-upon-Haverford had provided Christmas figgy puddings to the orphanage for nigh on 67 years. "Do something," she demanded. "It's Auntie Aggie's bloody 80th, for god's sake!" And so her obliging husband the mayor cleared his throat and declared, "Whereas, uh, harrumph, by the powers invested in me, I hereby proclaim this January 11th Of course, the first proclama- • tion may have been nothing of the kind, but who cares? The point is, ^^mrfffl we've got them now. And if procs are [ 1(11 not as subject to public discourse — I ' they figure nonetheless into the quotidian routine of mayorship.

proclamation, if you haven't been
paying attention, is essentially this: an honorific on a piece of paper, an official recognition of, usually, an individual or organization's services or contributions to the community. Some are related to a cause — non-offensive to practically everyone, of course — or a visiting dignitary Sometimes, the accolade is simply for having survived a job, marriage, or life itself for a really, really long time. Most recipients get their own day, maybe a week or month, but on rare occasions someone merits an entire year, to wit: in Burlington, 1996 is the Year of the Hockey Cats, courtesy of Mayor Clavelle. Written in pseudo-legalese to sound impressive, procs generally consist of several paragraphs beginning with "whereas,"stating a series of facts or justifications for the declaration at the end. Here's an example: WHEREAS, both American and Greek citizens share the ideals of democracy and are reflected in the active and productive Greek-American community in Burlington, Vermont; " Which concludes: NOW, THEREFORE, I, Peter Clavelle, Mayor of the City of Burlington, Vermont, do hereby proclaim March 25, 1996 as GREEK INDEPENDENCE DA K And this with no evidence of bribery by baklava. At one time proclamations may have been written by quill on vellum scrolls, neatly rolled up and tied with a ribbon. They may have been presented to the recipient with great pomp and circumstance. Now procs are typically on plain old copy paper — you wouldn't want your tax dollars spent on vellum, would you? — though some are graphic facsimiles of scrolls or diplomas. They're as likely to be penned by the mayor's secretary as the mayor himself. And they're more likely to be sent by mail than accompanied by ceremony and cake. Procs get the official seal of the city of origin and, most importantly, the signature of the mayor. Signing proclamations — as opposed to resolutions, which require a formal action by a city council — is an exclusive privilege of mayors. And while proclamations don't carry the weight of, for instance, the Treaty of Warsaw, or even the School Board minutes, mayors are presciently aware of their sentimental — and hence political — value. Mayor Wennberg cites an example: an 80-year-old woman who was honored with a proclamation for her volunteer work at a surprise birthday party. "Two years later I was invited to her home and the document was framed and hanging on her wall. Those are the best kind."

Wennberg admits that when he first became mayor nearly 10 years ago, he was all fired up about making significant changes in the city and was disdainful of the purely ceremonial aspects. He once explained to an inquiring fifth-grader that being mayor was "60 percent CEO and 40 percent cartoon character."
roclamations, like other aspects of government, are pretty much received by a pitifully ignorant public with apathy. Most people don't even know they exist. But for inquiring minds, a few questions remain. Such as: aside from retirees, public servants, etc., who can get them? Answer: Just about anyone Wennberg now acknowledges that the latter is the best who asks — and the deluge of requests that may folP a r t ' a n d t ^ iat proclamations, ribbon-cuttings and keys low this article will surely prove annoying to our city CO ^ cit^ aren'r s o after alL fathers. But take heed, some are pickier than others.

T H E T O A S T E R S , HARD BAND FOR DEAD (Moon ska Records, CD) — Anyone who can keep up a ska beat for 13 years — besides having a buff cardiovascular system — deserves all the accolades they can get. Especially because the New York ska kings kept the faith through a long spell in which its dizzying back beat fell out of favor — skirting the periphery of alternative rock — and continued populating dance floors with frenzied pogoers. Thanks in part to chief Toaster Robert Hingley, aka Bucket, and his all-ska label called Moon Ska, the music invented in Jamaica in the early '60s and spiked by Brits in the late '70s is back, big-time. If other, younger bands in this third wave stir in punk, metal or hardcore influences, these ska-lywags remain true to the original and Two-Tone styles. There's little chance to catch your breath on Hard Band for Dead— the title comes from Prince Buster's classic tune, "Hard Man Fe Dead," which is covered here. Only the lilting reggae ballad, "Friends," which espouses ska's theme of harmony, and the dancehall-style "Properly" slow the pace. Otherwise, Hard Band is a frenetic skarathon from its insurgent opener, "2-Tone Army" to the whacked piano-driven finale, "Dave Goes Crazy" (think "The Flight of the Bumblebee" on poppers). Hingley's plaintive croon takes the lead over a bad-ass horn section, funky retro organ and occasional rock guitar outbursts. Skatalites vet tenor saxman Lester Sterling guests on the recording and — special bonus! — is currently touring with band. Included are the obligatory nods to spy lore: a cover of Johnny Rivers' "Secret Agent Man" and a fine instrumental version of "Maxwell Smart" — the theme song of the '60s TV show, "Get Smart." A mini-history of ska comprises the lyrics of "Chuck Berry," in which a rippin' piano solo reveals the genre's New Orleans r&b connection. This song is also the subject of the first Toasters music video. For some reason the new CD includes a remake of Hingley's "Talk is Cheap," which first appeared on the 1987 Ska Boom, but the Specials-like romp is far from stale. Indeed, it's hard to find anything disagreeable about this thoroughly upful reminder that racial politics can be fun. But don't take my word for it — drag your butt down to Toast this Thursday and see if you're not a rude boy or girl before you know it. With Spring-Heeled Jack and The Twistoffs.

written that only four acts — The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Bee Gees and Michael Jackson — sold more records than The Drifters did over a quarter-century. Few even last that long in the music biz — god knows The Drifters themselves have had a revolving-door membership — and few acts get a chance to reincarnate as often. In their first burst in the '50s, led initially by Clyde McPhatter, the Atlantic Records darlings scored big with several r&b hits, and were one of the first groups to cross over to white-dominated pop charts. They broke up in 1958, only to be re-organized again with Ben E. King in front. This time around The Drifters achieved legendary status with a string of hits penned by rock/pop songwriters like Leiber and Stoller. After, well, drifting for a bunch of years, die smooth songsters are back, and they're performing beyond the boardwalk — on a Lake Champlain Ferry. Don't count on the original members — most of'em are in music heaven. But with iconic songs like "This Magic Moment," "Save the Last Dance For Me, "On Broadway" and "Up on the Boardwalk," it hardly matters that only second-wave Drifter Cliarlie Thorn*" to lead the new pack. The Drifters arrive — along with some New England Patriots, p c Lnot singing — for a summer cruise -J ^ ^ 1« Boosters. See calendar for details.

UP Once a hot spot, always a hot spot? Not necessarily; look what happened to Hunt's. But Charlotte's historic Old Lantern is back in the entertainment business with the Magic Hat Concert Series, thanks to a collusion between the brewing company and All Points Booking. As square dancers of yore will recall, the 1000-seat Lantern features a gigundo wooden dance floor and great sight lines. What's more, it will offer food catered by Sneakers, a full bar, and a smoking section outdoors. Tickets go on sale this Friday for the Lantern's first date — the gospely, rootsy, New Orleans r&b kings, The Subdudes, and a Cajun feast. Later this summer, look for blues queen Koko Taylor and Nigeria's rhythmic royal highness, King Sunny Ade. Stay tuned for details.

location, Burlington manages to attract more than its share of international dignitaries. In just the past couple of weeks, Peter Clavelle has hosted the mayor of Puerto Cabezas, Nicaragua; the City Council president of Yaroslavl, Russia; and a delegation of local leaders from Albania and Macedonia. The mayors of Arad in Israel and Bethlehem on the West Bank may visit in the fall. The Queen City's physical and cultural charms may be reason enough for tourists to travel here from three continents, but it's unlikely that any of these politicians would have come were it not for Burlington's far-flung Sister City programs. The first such initiative, twinning Burlington with Puerto Cabezas, was launched in 1984 mainly as an expression of local leftists' solidarity with Nicaragua's Sandinista revolution. Progressive ideology likewise motivated the Yaroslavl relationship, begun in 1988 at the instigation of then-Mayor Bernie Sanders. Political activism was again the instigator three years later when links began to be forged between Burlington and Bethlehem. It was a move intended to show support for Palestinian resistance to Israeli rule, but objections from Burlingtonians sympathetic to the other side in the Middle East struggle led to a triplet formation that includes Arad. The political fires have since been banked in Burlington's foreign affairs. The latest sisterly embrace entwines two bodies of water — Lake Champlain and Lake Ohrid in southeastern Europe — rather than a pair of body politics. Scientific exchange for the betterment of both lakes is the primary purpose of the connection with Albania and Macedonia. The new sibling alliance further differs from Burlington's other international affiliations in that it is not directly sponsored by city government. Rather, it is the offspring of the Montpelier-based Institute for Sustainable Communities. Clavelle does serve on that group's board, however, and he pushed for the lake linkup following his visit to Macedonia earlier this year. It's the expansive world view of Burlington's mayor, once a Winooski "river rat," that accounts in part for this small city's active partnerships with faraway places. Clavelle lived and worked for a year in the Caribbean after losing the 1993 mayoral election. He also helped establish an international consulting firm that took him to Gaza and Brazil. The Progressive jet-setter has visited
wmmmm each of Burlington's sister cities at least once, and he clearly enjoys showing foreign pols around town when they pay return visits. Clavelle defends the Sister City programs against accusations of extravagance by noting that they receive a combined total of $6000 in taxpayer funding. But even that amount is too much for some critics; Republican City Councilor Kurt Wright maintains that the
began in the 1950s, a town like Northampton, Massachusetts, would pair off with its namesake in England, while a city with a heavily Irish-American population, such as Boston, would bond with Dublin. Today, however,'the motivation is mainly economic. The rapid increase in recent years — with 1050 places in the United States now partnered with 1900 foreign locales — is due mostly, Baj says, to "the information

ANOTHER BROTHER Burlington Mayor Peter Clavelle and Puerto Cabezas Mayor Hertado Beker at a recent press conference. city shouldn't spend a penny on such a "non-essential." Clavelle disputes the contention that a mayor must focus exclusively on local matters, like filling potholes, and leave foreign policy to the State Department. " I hese relationships around the world have significantly enriched the lives and broadened the perspective of hundreds of Burlington residents," Clavelle declares. He also points to an economic rationale: "As we move toward a global economy, I believe we must look beyond our borders for trade and development." In this respect, Burlington is no different from hundreds of other jurisdictions around the U.S. that have lately decided to conduct their own foreign relations. Initially, explains Doug Baj, associate director of the Sister City International organization in suburban Washington, American municipalities formed friendships abroad largely for ceremonial or ethnic reasons. When the movement

political and/or ethnic stake in a particular relationship. None of the initiatives would have lasted were it not for the energies of these volunteers — especially given that the Puerto Cabezas, Yaroslavl and Bethlehem-Arad programs each gets a grand total of $2000 a year in city funding. It's this degree of grassroots dedication that makes Burlington unique, in Baj's view. Many cities are sisters in name only, he says, the initial enthusiasm accompanying their avowal of kinship having given way to apathy and estrangement. "The continued high level of activity on Burlington's part is unusual for a city of its size," Baj notes. The oldest of the three initiatives has also experienced the greatest challenges to its survival. Burlington's affiliation with Puerto Cabezas went through a troubled period following the 1990 election defeat of the Sandinistas. Many of the local founding figures abandoned the effort once their political commitment became inoperative. The program's sole tangible undertaking — a tree nursery on land rented from an indigenous community — also encountered serious problems arising partly from the fact that its director was a Vermonter rather than a Nicaraguan. But the connection with Puerto Cabezas has remained intact, bridging a transition from left to right not only in Nicaragua but in Burlington as well. Sister City board member Robin Lloyd notes that "little help was forthcoming from City Hall" during the 1993-95 Republican interregnum presided over by Peter Brownell.

SEVEN DAYS
L i s t
1.0 WRITE OF PASSAGE: William Faulkner already had an agent when he wrote "the writer s only responsibility is to his art." But there is more planning than poetry involved in getting published these days. Wannabe authors learn tricks of the trade at the Dorothy Can field Fisher Writers Conference — all weekend at the Sheraton. 2 , 0 FEED FIRST: Where else can you find sushi, dhal, bagels and pizza under one roof? The Green Mountain Chew Chew serves up affordable samples from dozens of local restaurants at a three-day feeding frenzy on the Burlington Waterfront. Don't miss the maple mega-milkshake. Or the country-flavored rock 'n' roll. 3 • CALLING ALL COWS: Holy Holsteirts. Saturday is Cow Appreciation Day. Vermonters pay homage to the dairy deity at the Billings Farm and Museum in Woodstock. Lacto-tolerant types check out competitive hand-milking, butter churning and other historic activities. BARBERSHOP BABES: You would never know from the poster that the Champlain Echoes is an allfemale ensemble — a barbershop "quartette," minus the mustaches, specializing in high-end harmony. "How the West Was Sung" is the theme of its annual cowgirl concert on Saturday at Colchester High School. Happy Scales. 5 * ONE-HOUSE SCHOOL ROOM: School sucks, but is home any better? Absolutely, according to happy homeschoolers and their satisfied students. The big question is: Does getting all that attention prepare you for real life? Stay-at-home educators compare notes at Burlington College. 6 0 ROLL OVER, BEETHOVEN: You don't need pedigree papers to go for the gold Sunday at Colchester High School. Mutts who can sit, roll over and fetch the Seven Days can also participate in a "fun match" for noncompetitive canines. Bring a leash. And a pooper scoo per. f — P.R.

patio n, t tion. same principles should apply to drama, especially in a play about the politics of stripping. But Steve Goldberg shortchanges the imagination in his one-sided celebration of erotic expression inspired by Club Fantasy and its ongoing battle for bare boobs in the city of South Burlington. In Taboo of Fantasy, Goldberg shines a light on the sticky issue of adult entertainment at the expense of the more alluring shadows around it. The resulting diatribe reduces a very colorful topic to black and white. The story focuses on an exotic dancer fighting a municipal conspiracy to shut down her topless nightclub, Club Ecstasy, by revising to renew her entertainment license. Jessica O'Neill Higgins is a perfect "Angel," and Goldberg would have us

believe the majority of exotic dancers are smart, virtuous single mothers who send T U C A T C D their tips home to their • • •••HI LIV ailing mothers. But aside from her great curves, and a moving soliloquoy about how she got into dancing, the character is essentially flat — a mouthpiece for Goldberg, who gives herstream-of-consciousness speeches with lines like "in the pixels of your vision, in the HOI ISSUE: Jessica O'Neill Higgins and testicles of your creation, in the hope of your erection, I am not — a raving and not-so-convincing caricature of a right-wing ownable." fundamentalist whose unlikely The real conflict in Taboo is vocabulary includes liberal use between city councilors — of the f-word.

Taboo is still more Goldberg philosophy than anything else: Men are scum, women are beautiful, and if you have a problem with gyrating girls, you are probably a repressed Republican hypocrite. Unfortunately, this subject matter could have made for a really good play, in which fully fleshed-out characters convey the complexities of a timely, compelling issue. But in drama, Goldberg is more zealot than libertarian, more like Frank than Charlie. A little less dogma, and a lot more honesty, would have made Taboo of Fantasy a lot more believable. O

and nurses between Fletcher Allen Health Care and a 1 500bed regional hospital in the Russian city of 600,000 residents. About 20 medical professionals on each side have traveled to their respective Sister City, learning about operating techniques and infection control. Morale, machinery and maintenance at the Yaroslavl facility are in a "generally dismal state," says Rubin, adding that "doctors and nurses there do their best under very difficult circumstances." Another local institution has also had its horizons expanded as a result of a Sister City program. Burlington College now conducts classes for more than 600 teachers and nurses at nine sites in Israel; this international breakthrough was achieved partly by means of contacts through the AradBethlehem affiliation. Fostering Jewish-Muslim understanding — in Vermont as well as in the Middle East — is a key aim of this Sister City relationship. About 10 local residents meet monthly in Burlington's City Hall to discuss both the program itself and recent events in Israel/Palestine. These meetings are sometimes emotionally

charged in the aftermath of one atrocity or another in the Middle East, "but it's at those times that the discussions are especially valuable," says Mousa Ishaq, a Palestinian-American who heads the Burlington committee. Yet another international connection will be established this summer when City Arts director Doreen Kraft travels to Newry in Northern Ireland to explore cultura.1 and educational exchanges. No attempt will be made at this stage to form a full-fledged Sister City relationship, Kraft says, since "there are limits to the number of programs that can be meaningfully supported by a city of our size. Even with the ones in place, I think we're really pushing the community and the mayor's office." Clavelle says he seeks to be frugal in allocating City resources to the various Sister City projects. The time local officials spend on them is not inordinate, he says, noting that each program runs almost entirely on volunteer labor and private contributions. "If these were centralized programs dependent mainly on city government, they would have failed a long time ago," the mayor observes. "They succeed because the people of Burlington work for them to succeed." •

Vermont's court gestures are over the top

olleyball in Vermont? The image of scantily clad, suntanned spikers in the sand is more typically associated with Southern California than the Green Mountain State. But our volleyball-playing population wants you to know they're not pale in comparison. In fact, they've got a thing or two to say about being a good sport and finding your own place in the sun. Thing one: friendly competition. The 460 members of Vermont's Volleyball Association want to get every man, woman and child in on the game. "It's something you can do whether you're a fantastic athlete or not," says tournament director Kathy Davis, adding that
NET GAIN The Vermont Volleyball Association is really going places this year. The summer's remaining tournaments are as follows: June 29-30: Queen City Bash at Oakledge Park, Burlington July 13-14: Okemo Open at Winchester Inn, Ludlow July 27-28: Stowe Classic, Stowe High School Aug. 10-11: Manchester Open at Dana Thompson Memorial Park, Manchester Aug. 31-Sept. 1: Vermont State Championships at Oakledge Park, Burlington

Call 802.879.7734far details. although some people move up the ranks to AA status and play for money, "you're in control of how you approach it." Meet Deby Dahlgren, fantastic athlete. This 37-year-old mom just wanted to get a few digs, but found a part-time gig in the process. These days, when she's not selling stocks for Merrill Lynch, Dahlgren is blocking spikes in tournaments
for Team Nectar. "I've been playing for eight years in Vermont," she says. "I played recreationally before moving here, but I picked up a lot from watching players. And one day I found myself playing with them." Meet Joe Monacella — not your average Joe. "I've been playing about five years," says the 30-year-old employee of Burton Snowboards. "A big part of [the draw] is the competitiveness. Playing hard and playing well." On the other hand, Monacella adds, the games are often simply "a bunch of friends having a good time." Meet Jesse Carpenter, new kid on the block. "I got started after watching beach doubles on television with my step-dad. We ended up going to clinics and buying balls, nets and clothing," Carpenter says. "We just got better and better. It's the greatest sport because it requires a lot of different skills — timing and coordination." Adds the 17-year-old mischievously, "It's also a good way to make old people look bad. And it's a great way to spend your summer outside." Which leads us to thing two: fun in the sun. Once you've developed a taste for volleyball, there are a dozen ways and means to feed it. The volleyball association organizes year-round tournaments throughout the state — sanctioned by the Amateur Volleyball Association — and the results are logged onto the Internet. That's www.planetvolleyball.com. But if you're not ready to dive into the big leagues, or
rush the global net, there's a pick-up game every Wednesday night at Oakledge Park in Burlington. Still, the scene can be a little intimidating. "There's usually anywhere from 10 to 12 nets with players of all

ages, professions and physical condition. Doubles can look like a tough game after you've played with six," Davis says. "Some of us act as 'Ambassador Nets.' We'll invite you in and hitch you up with a partner." Dahlgren and her best friend and doubles partner Chris Smith are part of the welcoming committee. They host impromptu clinics to fine-tune your spike, set and serve. Rick Gouse, head coach of Saint Michael's women's team, and Gregg Davis, assistant coach, are often on hand for free advice as well. And Edz Sturans, University of Vermont's women's coachs, gets in on the act, too. Incidently, Sturans and Gregg Davis own the Dockside Cafe, which has not surprisingly become the unofficial hang-out of the Burlington volleyball crowd.
The crowd, incidentally, is more male than female — 65 to 70 percent are guys. The volleyball association is making a concerted effort to attract more women this year. But considering that none of Vermont's high schools offer women's programs, incoming generations tend to be male-dominated. "According to Volleyball magazine, we're the only state with this problem," Kathy Davis laments. To help generate enthusiasm for their gender, some of the women players have been sporting "Spike Like a Girl" T-shirts, made by Burlington's Team Betty. The Olympic debut of men's and women's beach volleyball this summer will also win a few more recruits. Set yourself up. •

CROSS BOWS According to the brief statement accompanying Ike Krumenacker's exhibit at Burlington's Last Elm Cafe, the young artist is attempting to tap into the Zeitgeist of contemporary being. With this collection of large-scale, multi-media works on paper, however, it's more accurate to say that he is carefully hashing out the contemporary artist's position in the continuum of art history. Refreshingly well-versed in both current theory and art-historical movements, Krumenacker wrestles to reconcile the cool, staid power of minimalism with the exuberance of a more expressive style. Pieces such as his "No. 6" pervert the rigid control of the grid with a kind of out-of-body automatism that include free-form graphite scrawls, recurring heart shapes and excited dollops of bright acrylic paint. In addition, he's cut out large areas in several works; the resulting asymmetry further rebels against the inherent severity of the rectangle. But Krumenacker seems to encounter problems with his work when the balance of styles is up-ended. He occasionally bruises a piece with overworking it, or allows mimimalism's stringent mathematics to constrict it. In
NATURAL MARKET LOWER VILLAGE • S T O W E - 2 5 3 - 4 7 3 3
either case, the viewer is left cold. Interestingly, in his tug-of-war between discipline and liberation Krumenacker has created a dark criss-cross of lines and planes — such in the thickly impastoed "No. 5" — which accidentally approximate the moody multifacets of Braque's Cubism. At his best, as in "No. 6," the artist exhibits mimimalism's restraint, leaving large areas of the graph-paperish grid untouched, and fills only a section of the paper with his trademark interlocking crosses. This more economical approach contrasts with the dense layering of other works, exposing the polarity of Krumenacker's current working process.

years experience collecting wild edibles. The couple dresses alike — in simple jeans and blue work shirts. They have the healthy, timeless glow of people who spend a lot of time outdoors.

to relieve stress. But, like many part-time gardeners, she couldn't keep up, and the weeds took over. Well, Kim figured, "You eat what your garden grows." She discovered the wonders of pigweed —with 10 times as much calcium and magnesium and 50 times as much iron as spinach. More flavor, too. Hook is a true Vermonter raised in the mountain tradition — his family had no phone, and used horses and oxen instead of cars and trucks. Kim and Hook met in New York State and together ran a nursery business before turning their efforts over to full-time
vested from beneath the snow. Hook and Kim collect food 12 months a year, and they cherish Vermont for its variety. They know thousands of plants, each with its own use, flavor and lore. "When we're eating weeds, we're eating well," Kim says detailing the gastronomical and health benefits of wild ginger, milkweed, evening primrose and cattails. To demonstrate how tasty these can be, she snips and offers me a leaf from a standard roadside ox-eye daisy. Its flavor is peppery, sharp and clean — right up there with those pricey mesclun salad mixes. Living off the land agrees with Kim and Hook. They have no phone and few bills, but do follow world events, primarily through Canadian and foreign press. They are active lobbyists on natural resources, fish and game and forest issues. Weed wisdom is their ultimate goal. But when it comes to making a living, their philosophy is flexible. Kim does teach — but she takes no money for lessons. She believes "it's inherently wrong to sell survival knowledge," and that "you should know how to care for and feed yourself." The couple makes money selling wild ginseng — their main cash crop — and by delivering their foraged goods to New England Culinary Institute, which is a regular buyer of wild leeks, morels and other wild edibles. Kim cooks a mean teriyaki-marinated burdock with ginseng trout and fresh fiddleheads. "People have got to know," Hook explains, "There's a lot more to a forest than pulp and logs." •

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): It's shrine-building rime, O Restless One. The kind of shrine I'm talking about is a homemade altar crammed with objects that symbolize your devotion to a specific dream. I feel very strongly that the dream in question should be one you're nowhere near mastering — a vision of the life you want to be living two years from now. Here are a few suggestions aibout what materials to use: rocks on which you've inscribed prayers with felt-tip pens; piles of vegetable seeds or images of eggs; a music CD that captures feelings and ideas you want to cultivate; photos of your newest role model; votive candles carved with your word of power; toys that appeal to both the child and the adult in you; a talisman or curio that energizes the secret that's immobilized you.
TAURUS
(Apr. 20-May 20): Your education may take cur-ious paths in the next few weeks. I would not entirely discount the possibility, for instance, that you could absorb the contents of thick books simply by slipping them under your pillow overnight. Nor would I say it's impossible for you to receive homework from waterfalls and lightning bolts, or to find a new teacher in a convenience store parking lot. Would you be freaked out or thrilled if 1 hinted that you'll soon be invited ro learn a whole new way to learn?
GEMINI (May 21-June20): I'm a connoisseur at attracting and cultivating temptation. More importantly, I understand the difference between good and bad temptation — between the thrilling promises that serve my highest goals and those that play to my neuroses. And when I get a lock on a good temptation, I know how to work it so it drives me wild with smart desire — the best muse of all. I am now telepathically communicating to you all my expertise about temptation. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Picture yourself poised in a threshold. (This shouldn't be too hard, since that's exactly where you are, metaphorically speaking.) Envision this threshold as a transitional space between two strikingly different worlds. The place you're leaving is familiar and protected, if a bit unhealthy. Where you're headed is a hotspot teeming with medicinal agitation. As you linger here expectantly on the threshold, mull over this monster question, which you'll need to answer before busting through: What bond are you willing to break in order to be as innocent as you need to be?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Excuse me. I'm going to have to ask you to answer a few questions. You have the right to remain silent, but I wouldn't advise it. No, you haven't been charged with anything — yet. It's just that karma-purging season has arrived, and it's my duty to alert you to how much of that old psychic gunk you've accumulated. (If 1 were you, I'd start making atonements immediately.) Let's get started. In die past year have you: 1) broken any big promises; 2) longed for more freedom but not worked very hard for it; 3) blamed others for your own failings; 4) fantasized about a different partner while making love; 5) taken anger out on the wrong person; 6) beguiled someone into loving you and then not loved them back; 7) faked an emotion; 8) done any other bad thing?

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Let's talk about power, and about how you can get more power. What works for the other signs of the zodiac may also bring you a measure of success: formulating precise goals, expressing yourself forcefully, generating original ideas, being skilled at manipulating people's emotions. But all those strategies pale compared to the first law of Virgoan empowerment, which is this: Your command and authority and influence will thrive to the degree that you put yourself in service to people and causes that're worthy of your investment. Ask yourself continually, "How can I be of best possible use?" And one day you will rule a kingdom.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): From where I sit, you seem to have gottenfixatedon a sign that's pointing to a sign that's pointing to a sign that's pointing to the place where the object of your dreams used to be. Please stop this pointless obsession now. Not in an hour. Right now. Stop the world, accept the fact that I'm telling you the godawful truth, and take this pledge: "I vow to never again be hypnotized, conned or waylaid by middlemen who claim to have the sole key to my dream."
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You won't like what I have to say if you're a lazy lard-belly or shallow-breathing mind-tripper. The cosmos is begging you to work out, to break lots of sweat, to move and move and move your sweet ass. Why? Well, you'll feel better, of course. But that ain't the half of it. Your aerobic activities are also likely to bring you into close proximity with the kind of twinkling-eyed folks you need more of in your world. A diird bonus is that strenuous exercise will unleash an eruption of smart chemicals in your gray matter. You can't conceive of the brainstorms that await you if you try mountainclimbing, river-rafting, or gymnastic sex.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I rarely spend five hours composing any one sign's horoscope, but this week yours demanded it. Merely drawing up the planetary charts and meditating on the astrological gestalt weren't sufficient. I also cast the runes, consulted the I Ching and pored over my recent dreams. But nothing worked. In desperation, I danced in circles until I got dizzy, fell down and banged my head on the floor. At last, a vision arrived. I saw that you are now being asked to explore the spiritual possibilities of exhaustion. Only when you have worn yourself out failing at every technique that's always worked before will you be graced with a cockeyed deliverance — and a new assignment.

22-Dec.21): While working as a letter carrier for the post office a few years ago, I learned a thing or two about emerging unmauled from encounters with snarling dogs. And as you approach a climactic showdown with your own inner bitch, I'd like to share my wisdom. 1) Avoid eye contact. 2) Don't scream. 3) Hum a lullabye. 4) Try to use your telepathic powers to convince the beast to settle down. 5) Have a gift or bribe handy. 6) If all else fails, do imitations of Groucho Marx or the Three Stooges.

SEVEN DAYS
(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): What are you supposed to do when jealous friends or passive-aggressive associates pull the magic flying carpet out from under you? Jump right back on — that's my expert answer. Don't waste any energy feeling humiliated or plotting revenge. Just scramble aboard again and resume your preparations for take-off. If the offending parties seem to be gearing up to mess with you once more, defuse their energy by agreeing with everything they say. Then, just when they've relaxed because they think they have you cowed, blast off and zip away.
PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Good news, emotion-lovers. Just in time for your own personal Summer of Love, you've been approved to experience five brand new, all-electric feelings. Many of those you'll have to choose from are so original they don't even have names yet. I'll take a stab at identifying a few so you'll be able to recognize them if they drop in unexpectedly: fierce tenderness...thrilling stability...bashful bravery...aggressive vulnerability...grateful guilt...wise spontaneity...and much, much more... • © Copyright 1996

FILM QUIZ
Review THE CABLE GUY
***
Yes, he got $20 million to play a superneedy, lisping sociopath. And if you doubt for a minute that Jim Carrey was worth every penny, consider these facts: The role was originally set to be played by Chris Farley, who ultimately bowed out due to scheduling conflicts. In its opening weekend, The Cable Guy connected to the tune of nearly $21 million. If my math-is correct, that means the picture had already outgrossed Black Sheep before Carrey turned in for the night on Saturday. JAMES BONDING Broderick isn't And, speaking of grossing people out: It is perhaps no accicable-ready for what happens to his dent that — while flamboyantly disturbed — Carrey's character l i f e when he and Carrey connect. in this film never once communicates by means of a body cavity, and the script includes not a single potty joke. The comic chose the role of a demented cable installer who stalks a customer (Matthew Broderick) because he believed the story's dark shadings offered a starting point for his exodus out of laughland and into more credible thespian territory a la Tom Hanks and Robin Williams. Or, at any rate, that's the official line from the Columbia publicity department. The truth is, The Cable Guy is about as sinister as a John Denver song, and the comedy is trademark Carrey all the way. As directed by Ben (Reality Bites) Stiller, the picture provides a welcome parody of crazy-stranger movies, shrewdly tipping its hat to the mother of the genre, Play Misty for Me, in an early scene. Carrey demonstrates once more that his ability to morf into astonishing cartoons of his own creation is apparently inexhaustible. Neither as hyperbolic as the Ace Ventura films, nor as goodheartedly hysterical as Dumb and Dumber, the latest from the $20 million man will nonetheless prove one of the years funniest films, and the bill for his services a bargain at twice the price
Above are photos of six of the best-known actresses in the business. Their faces are umistakeable, but less recognizable, perhaps, is what five of these six performers have in common professionally. What we'd like from you this week is the name of the star who doesn't belong, along with the reason why.

THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME From directors Kirk Wise and Gary Trousdale — the guys who gave us Beauty and the Beast— comes this animated and amazingly similar story, loosely extrapolated from the 1831 novel by Victor Hugo. Tom Hulce provides the voice of the loveable young outcast, Demi Moore speaks for the babe of his dreams and Jason Alexander yucks it up as a wisecracking gargoyle. Hey, what's that spinning sound coming from Hugo's grave? ERASER What would summer be without big-screen explosions, car wrecks, gunfights and, of course, Arnold Schwarzenegger? Quiter certainly. More fun, maybe. Something tells me it won't be all that long before this expensive ($90 million) but generic testosterone fest concerning rival witness-protection agents goes into hiding.

SHORTS
THE ROCK** Who says the movies are a young persons game? Sean Connery is 65 and he's in two of the biggest films in theaters this summer. In The Rock, he wears a bad wig as a bad guy who once escaped from Alcatraz. He's badly needed by the FBI, which wants help breaking back in because a badly deranged Ed Harris has seized control of the place. From the director of Bad Boys and co-starring Nicolas Cage, whose services Disney secured for a cool pre-Oscar $4 million. Not bad. JANE EYRE (NR) Franco Zeffirelli, that human Cliff Note, adds Charlotte Bronte s classic to his cinematic syllabus, which includes Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet. William Hurt, Anna Paquin and Charlotte Gainsbourg star. WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE ( N R ) Todd {Fear, Anxiety and Depression) Solondz took the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance this year for this portrait of an 11-year-old suburban misfit, which he both wrote and directed. Heather Matarazzo stars. DRAGONHEART** Who's the most expensive performer in the history of film? Nope, not Stallone, not Jim Carrey. Its Draco, a $22 million computer-generated dragon who sounds suspiciously like Sean Connery. Dennis Quaid co-stars with the 18' x 43' special effect playing a knight who befriends the beast, the last of his kind. THE P H AN TOM ( N R) 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. MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE** Though not particularly accomplished, Brian De Pal mas Mission unseated Twister at the top of the box-office standings, and is likely to hover in the general vicinity until, let's say, Independence Day. Tom Cruise presides over this update of the '60s TV series. EDDI E* did Sunset Park leave you wanting more? You're in luck (and probably in need of therapy, if you don't mind my saying so). What are the odds of another movie about a plucky female basketball coach coming along so quickly? Well, they're just about as good as the chances Whoopi Goldberg's will be around any longer than Rhea Perlmans. Who greenlights this nuttiness, anyway? TWI STER** 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. r a t i n g
