JERK O N WHEELS?
^
While I found myself agreeing with much of what Peter Freyne wrote about bicycling ["The Truth About Cars and Bikes," July 29], I would like to take exception with two of his viewpoints. For one thing, I find it hypocritical, at best, for Mr. Freyne to tout the health benefits of riding a bicycle, and then in the next breath complain about how difficult it is for him to stop and then start at red lights and stop signs. In fact, it is the very act of accelerating from a dead stop that is one of the most healthful aspects of bicycle riding. Instead of treating it like an inconvenience, he should practice accelerating as quickly as he can so as to achieve the greatest possible health benefits from his bicycle riding. V^^" The bottom line here is that bicycles are vehicles, and bicyclists should be required to obey all of the rules of the road, including using lights at night, and not find rationalizations for violating these very rules. ^^^^ ^ Secondly, as a newcomer to Burlington and an avid bicyclist for many years, I find the Bikeway along Lake Champlain to be one of the city's ^ most valuable resources, and, as such, it should be for the use of all, and not limited to just bicyclists. Is Mr. Freyne suggesting that the path should not be ga^ ^ available for use by persons with disabilities? Also, using his reasoning, all bicyclists should be banned from using highways, since they were built specifi^ ^ ^ cally for automobiles, and should not be used for any other wheeled vehicle. No, the problem with walkers and Rollerbladers (and, yes, even bicyclists) on the Bikeway is that there is an appalling lack of consideration for others by those using it. The best ' example of this ip-that people act as if they are the only ones on the path, frequently walking or riding two, three or more abreast without ever looking back to see if they arp obstructing someone else's passage. And Rollerbladers, perhaps you cool dudes and ladies could cut down on the "bladedancing," weaving from side to side, oblivious to your surroundings with your headphones covering your ears, music blasting so loudly I can hear it as I approach, blocking out the sounds of nature, and, yes, the requests of those who wish to pass without suffering lifetime, debilitating injuries. Is a line painted down the middle of the path, with arrows pointing in the appropriate direction, really necessary?

Rollerbladers should find their own place to play, Mr. •• Freyne does little to resolve the conflict between bicyclists and other modes of transportation, but rather goes a long way towards proving that at least one bicyclist in Burlington is indeed a real jerk. 1

Twin fingerprints clearly show that it's a little of both. If you compare palm prints and fingerprints of the Dionne quintuplets (born in 1934, they were the first quints of which all five survived), you find that the broad-brush pattern of lines, whorls, loops, etc., as well as what researchers call "ridge coumSMere quite,similar for the whole crew. Nonetheless each kid had unique prints due to differences in detail.

G O P congressional hopeful Jack Long reports one of his primary opponents is missing in action. Sure enough, M a r k C a n d o n of Rutland was the only statewide candidate not marching Sunday in the Bennington Battle Day Parade. T h e guy must be cocksure confident of victory, or else just not real interested, because Mr. "Cando," as he dubs himself, is spending the week in New Jersey vacationing with the family. Interesting strategy; three weeks before the primary, get out of town. O f course, Mr. C a n d o n appears to be in tighter with the party's high-rollers than Mr. Long. Last Thursday, Vermont's G O P national committeeman, Allen Martin, hosted a fundraiser for Candon at Burlington's Ethan Allen Club. "A pretty good turnout," says Martin. Long takes umbrage at a state party official taking sides in a primary. "I don't think it's appropriate," Long tells Inside Track. H e says he called State Chairman Patrick Garahan and Sara Gear, Vermont's G O P national committeewoman, and "thanked them for remaining neutral." Mr. Martin says he "looked at the candidates that were running and made the decision that Mark Candon is the strongest and best able to beat Bernie Sanders." Guess with Big Al behind you, you can afford to spend a week on the beach. Meanwhile, Bernie Rome, G O P primary contender for governor, was in great form Monday as he christened his Burlington campaign office at the Ethan Allen Shopping Center. Bernie II gave a pep talk to a handful of volunteers. "We're counting on winning the primary," said Rome. H e proudly played his radio spots for the volunteers and clearly delineated his Vermont roots. T h e Sherburne multi-millionaire conceded, "It'll be a challenge to win the general [election]," but he noted two longshots who hit the finish line first, New York Gov. H u g h Carey and Mayor Ed Koch. For a guy who wears the title "native Vermonter" on his sleeve, all Rome's war stories come out of New York, the home turf of Gov. Howard Dean.

t used to be a parking lot for bombers, kept at the ready in case of trouble during the Cold War, and the alleged site of another kind of craft — UFOs. But last weekend the former Loring Air Force base in Limestone, Maine, was the temporary home of the year's largest outdoor concert in North America. One writer had his own strange encounters among some 60,000 Phish fans — and took notes. Here's what he had to say about Lemonwheel. Tuesday, 10 p.m. The rain has finally stopped and now the wind blows around the Air Force base. It whips through the trees outside
my window and flaps the curtains. Not much to block the wind out here; no hills or tall buildings, just a lot of flat open space. My room is on the third floor of an old barracks. The dorm master, Kevin, expects 450 workers by the weekend, every bed taken. "The riggers are on the third floor," he said, handing me the key. "Its gonna be loud." The riggers are the stage builders and have a reputation for partying through the night. So far it's been quiet. A dozen or so riggers sit outside on couches drinking beer and laughing. One of them keeps shouting, "Give me a biscuit! Give me a biscuit!" Even though hundreds of workers are here for the Phish shows, the base seems deserted. The place is creepy — empty runways, giant old hangars with
peeling paint, streets with no cars, abandoned coal yards, tall street lamps casting a yellow glow. The runway itself is two and a half miles long, the stage at the very end. The biggest bombers the Air Force ever produced, the B-36 — built to carry atomic bombs over the Soviet Union — were stationed at Loring, far enough north for a shortcut over the Arctic Circle. From one end of the runway you can't see the other end, just trees and a huge sky, gray and flat. I drove around for a few hours tonight, got lost on the base listening to an oldies station on the radio. Away from the Phish area, I didn't see anyone at all. Wednesday, 11 p.m. Limestone is a few miles from the Air Force base. It's a

small town with a couple of stores and a gas station. Outside of town, potato fields stretch as far as you can see. When the sun sets the fields turn yellow, and then it gets dark quickly. It already feels like fall here. People wear jackets and say that summer is over, the first frost on the way. I walked around for awhile talking to people in town. Every one of them was friendly and cheerful. No one had a bad word to say about the Phish fans from last year. It's like they had a meeting over the winter and decided that business was so good, better not complain to any outsiders. "They're very nice," I heard over and over. "No problems at all." And everyone in Limestone seems to agree that Phish fans don't like meat. It's often the

"We'll be selling a lot of vegetables," said a kid putting up a concession. Word is out that Phish fans don't like pizza, either. "We heard they don't eat much pizza," a waitress said. "So we have a lot of bagels." One guy, sitting on a bench tapping his knee, asked me my name as I walked by, and we got talking. He hadn't heard anything about Phish coming to town. "I don't care for rock 'n' roll too much myself," he said. "I'm a country fan. Enjoy your walk." Along the main drag, a few teenagers drove back and forth in pick-up trucks, speeding up, slowing down. A white school bus pulled into the gas station and some Phish fans piled out, skipping across the road. One of the locals in a red pick-up raced by a few times, revving Continued

VERMONT, NOV 60 >man Productions and BMC '98 compilation, sort of modern rock showcase at the Jonference, Welcome to Vermont, Now Go Home 0_ offers up a mixed message in its tide, but is unambiguous in its pre— < o c a j b u t regional music. As at the BMC, stepliar turf of Burlington-based music is refreshing ion from our friends from the local-music-rules folks at Good Citizen. Tracks from Montreal's Shifter, Boston's Pistola, Rockett Band and Heavens to Murgatroid, for instance, add a more urban edge that makes these ears stand at attention. That's not to say the homies here suffer by comparison. Au contraire, Chin Ho!s "Incoherent," Construction Joes "Elastically," Invisible Jet's "Taxi" and DysFunkShun's "Cliffhanger," in particular, sit tall in the saddle on this ride. Burlington's baby ska band, The Skamaphrodites, make a fine showing — and the only one of the genre — with their "Ballad of Tom Smith" Smokin' Grass, too, stand out for their Middle-Easterninspired "Some Funky Grass," a variation on bluegrass that you'll never hear in Appalachia. New Yorker Kathy Compton contributes a winning hybrid of Americana and urban cool with the jazz-inflected rock of "Ultraviolet," a cut I find the most appealing and original of these 20 entries. Overall, though, nothing disappoints on Welcome to Vermont— I'm not sure we'd tell any of these bands to go home too soon. — PP.

There's only one proactive recourse, people: Register your complaints with Public Works, who say their workers are supposed to clean off only multiples and outdated posters. Freedom of speech can be practiced on the telephone, too.
R.I.P. One light turned out in Vermont's musical community Sunday when Andy Shapiro finally succumbed to cancer. Shapiro, a composer, keyboardist, singer and music teacher at Johnson State, remains an inspiration to the
living. There will be a service for him Thursday, 11 a.m., at the Christian Assembly on Rt.100 between Waterbury and Stowe, followed by music under a tent. Our condolences to his family and many friends.

Even around the dorms people are always looking to see what sort of pass you have. It's a way of sizing each other up how close are you to the band? How much access do you have? gate is the Alert Area compound, where soldiers slept underground, in the "molehole," waiting for the call to climb into their fully gassed B52s and go to war. From the molehole a network of underground tunnels burrows out to the runway. A pilot could roll out of his bed in his windowless room, jog down a tunnel, and pop up beside his plane. The gate to the base opened today and thousands of Phish fans drove through the rows of prison-like fence and along the Alert Area zone. Past the empty lot, the fans turned right, onto the airfield.

It's very strange driving a car on a runway, particularly this runway, one of the longest in the world. It looks like you are heading for the edge of the earth, the concrete and the sky a blurry line on the horizon. I drove the runways all week and never got over the feeling that something very big was above me in the air, waiting to land. Workers that have been here for a couple weeks cruise up and down the airstrip — 70, 80 miles per hour. Big trucks roar down the runway and sound like planes. The airfield isn't the freeway it was a few days ago. Everywhere you go now you have to slow down and show your pass. To go from the dorm to backstage I pass five security
guards. Different people have different passes. Even around the dorms people are always looking to see what sort of pass you have. It's a way of sizing each other up — how close are you to the band? How much access do you have? Friday, midnight Wandered around the campground for a few hours tonight. The most popular place was an RV with disco lights and five or six loudspeakers on tall stands. A guy stood outside the trailer looking very groovy, playing the Jackson 5, James Brown, The Bee Gees. Hundreds of people stopped to dance — people just passing by threw a finger in the air and started to shake. On the edge of the crowd, a guy with a colorful hat shouted, "Bad-ass egg rolls. Come get 'em." He was dancing, too. Through the lights and the crowd a long-bearded guy floated about whispering, "LSD...LSD." He made eye contact with you for a long second, then moved on. You have to watch where you're going around here. Everyone's on the move — skateboards, bikes, Rollerblades, scooters, motorcycles, wheelchairs, even go-carts. A few people travel on stilts. Nobody really watches where they're going. Every so often someone or some group will sit down in the middle of the road and cause a few crashes in the night, and nobody seems to mind. Tomorrow the concert venue opens and Phish will play three sets, starting at four o'clock. For the past two weeks, a crew of sculptors and landscapes from Burlington have been constructing a Japanese garden inside the venue, with a tower, a temple, a rock garden and some thatched huts. There's also a ferris wheel. So far, all this is a secret. Lars-Erik Fisk, a Burlington artist, is in charge of the project. He calls it The Garden of Infinite Pleasantries. In the center of the garden stands a tall tower, very Japanese-looking except that it's constructed of port-a-potties stacked one on top of another — the Portalet Pagoda. About a month ago, Lars explained to me what he was up to. In his apartment he had a small-scale version of the garden. "Rather than just appropriate the design of a Japanese garden," he said, "I wanted to push it into something else. I don't like to say this, but I like to pervert things. I'm taking august

ands of back-to-school bargain-hunters have descended on the University Mall. Frazzled moms in loose-cut shorts rifle through racks of ready-to-wear. Self-conscious teens in baggy jeans send sidelong scowls at their own reflections. Junior G.I. Joes, barely out of diapers, fidget in their camouflage. In the food court, suspiciously placid amid all the commotion, a middle-aged woman — her look professional yet soft; dressy yet comfortable — silently surveys the scene. Jule Emerson, a costume designer with credits in theater, dance, television and film, has served as artist-in-residence at Middlebury College since 1990. W h e n she's not assembling stage wardrobes or conducting courses on the history of fashion, Emerson also occasionally lectures on the psychology of clothes. Whether or not we're willing to admit it, Emerson recently told a skeptical audience at Killington that our clothes speak volumes about us. Today Emerson has agreed to meet me at the mall so we can test her premise. O u r mission: to check out attire — on display racks and people's backs — and try to hear what these garments are saying. Right off, she insists that clothes psychology is not her primary area of expertise. Most of Emerson's insights into sartorial psyches come from her work as a professional costumer — a job in which she uses the implicit language of clothes to convey information about the characters w h o wear them. Some performances are easier to costume than others. " W h e n you're designing for a period piece, the audience is much easier to please," she observes. Arrange a bunch of ruffles around an actor's neck and everyone sighs, gorgeous! authentic! august

CLOTHES UP Jule Emerson But try to tackle a contemporary setting and the audience knows too much — even if that knowledge is subconscious. Get it wrong and they think, "I know that character, she's just like Aunt Mildred. No way would Aunt Mildred wear a skirt that short." Get it right and the costumes are so convincing that no one even notices them. "All the hard work involved doesn't show," Emerson sighs. Similarly, spinning yarns about old clothes is easier than decoding the way we dress today. One of Emerson's favorite fashion history examples concerns men's pants. "The switch from knee breeches to long pants came about almost overnight as a direct result of the French Revolution," she explains. Before the Revolution, according to Emerson, the upper-crust set wore short culottes, the fashion we associate with folks like George Washington, while peasants made do with long, loose trousers — a style which earned them the nickname, sans culottes. When the sans culottes stormed the Bastille, the only way for the culotte-clad to escape the peasants' onslaught was to put on their pursuers' pants and try to blend with the crowd. Emerson observes that blending with the crowd also seems the order of the day at the U Mall in South Burlington. "We should have met on Church Street," she moans, scanning passers-by for someone — anyone — wearing something interesting. "Church Street is a much richer visual environment," she says, "about as rich as it gets in Vermont. The U Mall is less hip and happening. It caters more to a middle-American crowd." Though no guillotine threatens shoppers here at the Mall, to Jule Emerson's eye, this homogenous herd dressed in blue, black, beige and white seems as worried about their a u g u s t . 19.-

clothes giving them away as the hunted aristocrats in her story. "People believe they're not concerned with the way they dress. But the truth is, most of us are slavishly devoted to fashion," says Emerson. And the customers at the mall aren't the only ones, she points out. The designer sees this same slavishness at Middlebury, a campus she describes as "very J. Crew," with the ubiquitous backwards
harried mom; fleece overshirts for an outdoorsy image; long, flowered skirts that whisper of Bohemia; preppy white buttondowns; and every possible variety of jeans. Jeans are, of course, a whole story in themselves. The garment that began as rugged work wear and was appropriated by the young in the 1950s has become the universal garb. In the last decade, jeans' appeal

101. Vermont women of a certain age wear their own uniform. "It's the Prairie Girl look — long, shapeless schmattehs built like bags," Emerson notes. Even at this summer's Lilith Fair, an event that purported to promote feminist empowerment, she reports being appalled at how "cloned" the teenage audience was. "I saw maybe a dozen interesting-looking young women, mainly Goths," she remembers. "The rest were all wearing nearly identical skateboarder uniforms: jeans that are baggy, but not too baggy, and those little striped tank tops you see everywhere. To me, it was very Stepford Wives." Emerson finds this uniformity especially unfortunate given the wide range of styles now available, especially for women. To demonstrate her point, she takes me on a quick tour of J.C. Penney's, a store that succeeds by holding firmly to the center and offering something for everyone. In quick succession, we pass tailored suits for young career women; sack-like dresses for the
has broadened further, so to speak, now that "relaxed" cuts make it possible for even the most out-of-shape elder to pull on a pair and still inhale. Nor is this multigenerational trend confined to blue jeans. "Today clothes aren't just unisex, they're also uni-age," Emerson says. Driven by the continuing economic oomph of aging baby boomers, stores like Chico's and Clay's offer a youthful, contemporary style that forgives and flatters aging flab. Like jeans, this look is helping to blur the boundaries between kids' and adults' clothing As Emerson observes, "Older Americans don't have to dress like 'old people' anymore." Given the boomers' continuing hold on youthful styles, the high-profile tattoos and body piercings so common on Church Street — and so strikingly absent at the U Mall — should come as no surprise, Emerson says. "What else is left?" she asks. "Your dad's got an earring, Mom's got a butterfly tattooed on her butt, your uncle's gay. Piercing is like smoking. You need to do something to shock." Continued

The trends in tresses? Short and shorten
By Nancy Stearns Bercaw
L
ast year I wrote a "hair piece" in which I described the way my perception of the world changed with cut and color. You may recall that I had three distinct views in three months: the life-of-theparty blonde; the tortured artist with black tresses; and the recalcitrant redhead. But if you are a newcomer to my style, hair I go again. I spent the past nine months in New York, where I felt immense pressure to pay a lot of money to get the kindest cut. After hundreds of dollars and probably six variations on the short blonde theme, I realized that I wasn't going to cut it in Manhattan regardless of my hair. My roots are in Vermont. So now I sport a bleached-blonde, cropped Sharon Stone-style do, reside in Colchester once again, and am feeling much more like myself. My husband, who was in the original Broadway musical, "Hair," wore his locks long from the Summer of Love until this summer, when he traded in George Carlin curls for George Clooney s cut. He looks so clear-headed, like h e d be good in an emergency. But you wouldn't know what an interesting person he is just by looking at him now. You'd just think he was just fashionably shorn.
So how do you change your hair but keep yourself? Does Vogue have a place in Vermont? I asked indigenous stylists for tips on following fashion while living in a state of idiosyncrasy. Peggy Burns, of Stephen & Burns in Burlington and Williston, doesn't see much difference between the Queen City and bigger ones. She says age dictates style more than location. And, she's quick to add, people choose the salon that suits them wherever they are. Stephen & Burns finds that the over-25 market in Vermont wants a professional haircut without sacrificing sex appeal. The younger market, on the other hand, is totally fashion-oriented. "We do a lot of very contemporary styles: geometrical shaping enhanced with color; and bold stripping of the hair," Burns explains. "For men, we're definitely seeing a return to shorter hair. Color is very hot. Men of all ages are playing with color — blonde, bold color." Continued

FEAR AND CLOTHING Continued from page 15 A different kind of shock — as in systems overload — might also explain the numbing conformity Emerson decries. As she puts it, "The ultimate fashion victims are people who are faced with too many choices and don't know what to do, so they buy the whole ensemble right off the mannequin. Because they're afraid to make the wrong choice, they end up putting nothing of themselves into what they wear." An over-abundance of options can be intimidating even for a professional dresser like Emerson. Just how intimidating becomes clear when I invite her to do a quick analysis of the clothes she's wearing. Did a lot of thought go into today's outfit? "It was a very careful choice," Emerson confesses. "If you know too much, the thought of dressing yourself can be overwhelm»
ing. In the end, she had opted for purple platform sandals, a matching rayon T-shirt, and sailor-cut, greenish-taupe slacks in a rayon-silk blend. The intended statement? "Conservative, yet fashion-
able," she replies. She pauses for a moment before touching the demure silver hoop in her ear. These earrings, she admits, are the most conservative she owns, as well as the newest. In fact, Emerson bought them just this morning, at this very mall, in preparation for this very interview. Normally, she sports a bigger, bolder look. Why tone it down today? "I didn't want to scare you," she says. At last I've gotten up my nerve to ask the one question that's been paramount on my mind since our interview began. When I dressed this morning, I was more concerned about feeling comfortable than about what sort of impression my outfit might make. Or so I told myself. Now I wonder what she must make of me in my dowdy blue flowered blouse and my easy-fit Chico's slacks. Emerson declines to comment. "That bad?" I ask with a nervous laugh. "Not at all," she replies with a ready smile. Her denial comes too quickly, and with such firm certainty, that my very worst fears are immediately confirmed. ©

love Men's Health magazine. There. I'm out of the closet, and I'm not ashamed. Sure, I know what some of you are thinking: What self-respecting '90s woman could embrace a publication that runs such enlightened articles as "Turn Your Good Girl Bad" and "How to Wake Up Next to a One-Night Stand?" Or maybe you'll smile and wink knowingly: What redblooded hetero chick wouldn't love all those glossy photo spreads of buff young beefcake in various states of undress, ripped abs and glutes flexed so tightly you could bounce a check on them? Either way, you've got the wrong idea. My affection for Men's Health is driven by pure gender politics — by the realization that this magazine, and a handful of others like it, are leveling the playing field in a way that Ms. can only dream of. With page after page of bulging biceps and Gillette jaws, robust hairlines and silken skin, Men's Health is peddling a standard of male beauty as unforgiving and unrealistic as the female version sold by those dewy-eyed, preteen waifs draped across the covers of Glamour and Elle. And with a variety of helpful features on "Foods That Fight Fat," "Banish Your Potbelly" and "Save Your Hair (Before Its Too Late)," Men's Health is well on its way to making the male species as insane, insecure and irrational about physical appearance as any Cosmo girl. Don't you see, ladies? We've been going about this equality business all wrong. Instead of battling to get society fixated on something besides our breast size, we should have been fighting spandex with spandex. Bra burning was a nice gesture, but the greater justice is in convincing our male counterparts that the key to their happiness lies in a pair of made-for-him Super Shaper Briefs with the optional
"fly-front endowment pad" (as advertised in Men's Journal, $29.95 plus shipping and handling). Make the men as neurotic about the circumference of their waists and the whiteness of their smiles as the women, and at least the burden of vanity and self-loathing will be shared by all. This is precisely what lads' mags like Men's Health are accomplishing. The rugged John Wayne days when men scrubbed their faces with deodorant soap and viewed gray hair and wrinkles as a badge of honor are fading. Last year, international market analyst Euromonitor placed the U.S. men's toiletries market — hair color, skin moisturizer, tooth whiteners, etc. — at $3.5 billion. According to a survey conducted by DYG researchers for Men's Health in November 1996, approximately 20 percent of American men get manicures or pedicures, 18 percent use skin treatments such as masks or mud packs, and 10 percent enjoy professional facials. That same month, Psychology Today reported that a poll by Roper Starch Worldwide showed that "6 percent of men nationwide actually use such traditionally female products as bronzers and foundation to create the illusion of a youthful appearance." What men are putting on their bodies, however, is nothing compared to what they're doing to their bodies: While in the 1980s only an estimated one in 10 plastic surgery patients were men, as of 1996, that ratio had shrunk to one in five. The American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery estimates that nationwide more than 690,000 men had cosmetic procedures performed in '96, the most recent year for which figures are available. And we're not just talking "hair restoration" here, though such procedures do command the lion's share of the male market. We're also seeing an increasing number of men shelling out mucho dinero for august 19 , 1998

Make the men as neurotic about the circumference of their waists and the whiteness of their smiles as the women, and at least the burden of vanity and self-loathing will be shared by all. face peels, liposuction, collagen injections, eyelid lifts, chin tucks and, of course, the real man's answer to breast implants: penile enlargements — now available to increase both length and diameter. Granted, Men's Health and its journalistic cousins — Men's Journal, Details, GQ, etc. — cannot take all the credit for this breakthrough in gender parity. The fashion and glamour industries have perfected the art of creating consumer "needs," and with the women's market pretty much saturated, men have become the obvious target for the purveyors of everything from lip balm to lycra. Meanwhile, advances in august

medical science have made cosmetic surgery a quicker, cleaner option for busy executive — just as the tight fiscal leash of managed care is driving more and more doctors toward this cash-based specialty. Don't have several weeks to recover from a full-blown facelift? No problem. For a few hundred bucks you can get a micro-dermabrasion face peel on your lunch hour. Then there are the underlying social factors. With women growing ever more financially independent, aspiring suitors are discovering that they must bring more to the table than a well-endowed wallet if they expect to win — and keep — the fair maiden. Nor should we
overlook the increased market power of the gay population — in general a more image-conscious lot than straight guys. But perhaps most significant is the ongoing, ungraceful descent into middle age by legions of narcissistic baby boomers. Gone are the days when the elder statesmen of this demographic bulge could see themselves in the relatively youthful faces of those insipid yuppies on "Thirtysomething." Increasingly, boomers are finding they have more in common with the parents of today's TV, movie and sports stars. Everywhere they turn some upstart Gen Xer is flaunting his youthful vitality, threatening boomer dominance on both the social and professional fronts. Don't think even Hollywood didn't shudder when the Oscar for best original screenplay this year went to a couple of guys barely old enough to shave. With whippersnappers looking to steal everything from their jobs to their women, postpubescent men have at long last discovered the terror of losing their springtime radiance. Whatever combo of factors is feeding the frenzy of male vanity, magazines such as Men's Health provide the ideal meeting place for men's insecurities and marketers' greed. Like its more established female counterparts, Men's Health is an affordable, efficient delivery vehicle for the message that physical imperfection, age and an underdeveloped fashion sense are potentially crippling disabilities. And as with women's mags, this cycle of insanity is self-perpetuating: The more men obsess about growing old or unattractive, the more marketers will exploit and expand that fear; the more marketers bombard men with messages about the need to be beautiful, the more they will obsess. Younger and younger men will be sucked into the vortex of self-doubt. Since 1990, Men's Health has seen its paid circulation rise from 250,000 to more than 1.5 million; the magazine estimates that half its 5.3 million readers are under age 35 and 46 percent are married. And while most major magazines have suffered sluggish growth or even a decline in circulation in recent years, during the first half of 1997, Men's Health saw its paid circulation increase 14 percent over its '96 figures. Likewise, its smaller, more outdoorsy relative, Wenner Media's Men's Journal, enjoyed an even bigger jump of 26.5 percent. At this rate, one day soon, that farcical TV commercial featuring men hanging out in bars and whining about having inherited their mothers' thighs will be a reality. Now that's progress. ®

SNOW
PERFORMS SELECTIONS FROM HER C D
SHAMANEYA "The incredible success of Enya and Loreena McKennitt has opened doors for other talented female singers. One new artist well worth attention is Shelley Snow. On her recent release Shamaneya, Snow uses "primal sounds" to express feelings and experiences that seemingly lie beyond words. Her use of elemental sounds and syllables creates an immediate and deeply sacred connection among listeners, regardless of their native languages or cultural backrounds." —BILLBOARD
NEW
AGE
SPOTLIGHT
Utilizing an undercurrent of sophisticated musical arrangements, Shelley's lovely voice floats above, creating songs sounding earthy, sensuous, and whisper-soft. Her use of elemental sounds and syllables gives a kind of raw power to each piece, connecting people across the globe regardless of their own language. Shamaneya is some of the most original creative work of the year, and unlike anything you've ever heard. S H E L L E Y P E R F O R M S A F R E E S H O W AT SUNDAY AUGUST 2 3 R D ,

t's true: Llamas do spit. But truth be told, if you don't send a loogie their way, they're not likely to gob at you. In fact, quite the contrary, argues Linda Wood, proprietor of the Stowe Llama Ranch. "Let's put this constant remark into perspective," says Wood, a llama-loving variation on a "horse whisperer." "Spitting is a social device amongst lamas, it is defensive in nature...it settles disputes without doing harm," Wood adds. "We like to say, 'a well-behaved lama does not spit at a well-behaved human.'"
llamas are one of four species in the genus of lamas that includes alpacas, quanacos and vicunas. Llamas, like alpacas, are a woolly combination of neck and legs that leaves the disconcerting impression of a cross between an ostrich and a

CRANK CALL
Continued from page 6 This will be good news for women who want to get some sleep, but it only complicates life for men who are taking Propecia in the first place because they'd like to think of themselves as satyrs, lusted over for their fine heads of hair and ready to "party" with any chick who wanders by. A limp member, as everyone knows, is the worst thing that can happen to the American male; betrayed by Propecia, men are driven straight into the arms of Viagra, which can kill them if they don't take it properly, or if they use it in combination with other medications common to a decomposing frame — blood-thinners, beta blockers, drugs for high blood pressure and, of course, poppers, those sex-enhancing vapors in little brown bottles that you can buy only over the counter, and only at select establishments. If men are the buffoons in this scenario, women are the primary victims of their newly engorged blood vessels and tingling scalps. A more sinister warning attached to Propecia concerns "a specific birth defect" that pregnant women can pass on to their children if they so much as handle the pill.
"The capsules have a special coating that prevents human contact with the active ingredients," Merck declares — unless the pill happens to be "cracked or broken," or gets crunched underfoot by some careless hunk, in which case you'd better not get it on your skin. We all know how men are in the bathroom, unfortunately. What you probably don't know is that the "specific birth defect" associated with Propecia affects male fetuses only. It interferes with the development of their sex organs, leaving them in the company of what "queer theorists" are suddenly calling "intersexuals," with their own support groups, manifestos and lists of demands. Thus does pharmacology collide with culture in the Brave New World. Here's what I know for sure: No babies were deformed in the rush to give me a new head of hair. Come to think of it, I wonder if there isn't some kind of collusion here between the pharmaceutical companies and radical feminists — women, at least, who are tired of lying down on command. If this keeps up, a whole generation of males might be born without penises, and that's enough to get anybody to the drugstore,riest-ccpas? (7) august

LLAMA DRAMA Continuedfrom page 36 morphic spin to the animal s very civilized habit of postprandial siestas. O n a clear, cool day, Wood and I walk into a roomy pasture with impressive views of the Worcester Range. From this vantage point, it's easy to imagine that the llamas would consider their Vermont home the next best thing to the Andes. Curious by nature, the pack of seven takes a break from eating grass, pricks up their large, deer-like ears and make their way toward their visitors. First comes Wellesley, then Ojibway and Sir Chippewa, or Chip, as Wood calls him. Chip's a stud — literally — but he stands out more for his unique Appaloosa coloring than for his status as the dominant male. T h o u g h inquisitive like the rest of his mates, Chip keeps his space, and soon returns to the constant chore of feeding a ruminant digestive track and chewing his cud.
But Rob Roy, an aptly named younger llama with a prodigious thirst belying his genetic background, wants a good whiff of us. Cautiously, Rob puts his face close to mine and lets out a small puff of air. Resisting the urge to pet him — which would be seen

as a threat, cautions Wood — I return the favor. While-this technique won't get you too far in a Stowe watering hole after a day on the slopes, it's the way llamas greet each other, and non-threatening visitors. Though we tend to see lamas as cuddly and ourselves as benign benefactors, lamas intuit humans as predators, Wood says. Like other prey animals born with targets on their back — sheep and rabbits being the best examples — lamas have a strong "flight instinct," and their wide-set eyes aid in detecting approaching danger. Humans and other predators, in contrast, have eyes placed close together — "the better to focus," as a wolf might say. "When you take them to an event and they're in a room full of predators, it's pretty incredible that they show so much trust in the person they're with," says Wood, noting both the intelligence and good nature necessary for them to overcome their intu-

Lamas, unlike some species, won't foul their nest. Instead, they prefer to leave dung in the one place they know by smell. So on the trail, a quick whiff from a tin full of droppings induces the llamas to go in a convenient spot — in some ways, a lesson we would all do well to learn. ® The Stowe Llama and Alpaca Festival, to benefit the North Country Animal League, will be held in the Topnotch Field on the Mountain Road in Stowe, August 22-23, 9 a.m. 5 p. m.

itive fears. As trainable as"dogs, lamas might be at their best as "companions on the trail. Tipping the scales at about 400 pounds, and nearly four feet tall at the withers, lamas are capable of shouldering up to 80 pounds of gear. And unlike time spent with man's other best friend, says Wood, "You can be in nature and not upset what's going on out there." Although the majority of Wood's clients are families with children, and high-brow hikers looking for a unique experience, hunters out West are increasingly turning to the animals for their ability to get into the back country and then carry game out. With typical New England restraint, Vermont's been slower to allow llama use on public land. Though Wood has been welcomed at the Trapp Family Lodge and other destination resorts, the Long Trail is still off-limits to pack animals, including llamas, she reports.

inglehandedly, Steven Spielberg's audacious Saving Private Ryan has turned everyone's attention back to not only World War II, but to what was once a real workhorse of commercial cinema: the war film. Filmmakers have always found rich possibilities, commercial and otherwise, in the subject of war, but after the Vietnam War the options seemed reduced — to the point that the war film itself nearly disappeared.
Saving Private Ryan is built upon a faith that there are distinctions to be made in the case of World War II. That
war's futility and horror. Saving Private Ryan is a singular achievement, but it's one that recalls those of a number of previous war films. First and foremost among them is Louis Milestone's 1930 version of Erich Maria Remarque's World War I classic, All Quiet on the Western Front. Both films reflect a sense of higher purpose in conception and realization — in the first case a product of the movie's literary lineage, and in the second a reflection of Spielberg's maturation as a filmmaker. This, combined with his position of power in the industry, makes him one of the most important and interesting filmmakers of the late

very forefront of battle, Huston's documentary bears precise witness to the horrifying reality of what it means to move against an entrenched and armed enemy. So much so that the film was originally suppressed as too strong for general consumption, and was not released to the public until the last year of the war — and then in a censored version. The words of critic James Agee, an early advocate of that film, could be lifted from his 1945 review and directly applied to Ryan. "No war film I have seen," he wrote, "has been quite so attentive to the heaviness of casualties, and to the number of yards gained or lost, in such an action; none has so levelly watched and implied what it meant, in such full and complex terms — in military terms; in terms of the men who were doing the fighting; in terms of the villagers; and of their village; and of the surrounding country; and of the natural world; and of human existence and hope." In terms of structure and storyline, Saving Private Ryan most closely resembles is A Walk in the Sun, also directed by Milestone, and completed in the last year of World War II. Almost identical to Ryan, A Walk opens on the faces of infantrymen aboard a landing

craft at the start of a beach assault — Italy instead of France — and who subsequently are given the charge to proceed inland on a mission to locate and destroy an enemy outpost. There's a weariness about the film, and an intentional understatement characteristic of late war movies — The Story of G.I. Joe and John Ford's highly recommended They Were Expendable, both from 1946, are other examples — that distinguish it from earlier works in the combat film genre. In A Walk in the Sun, this is combined with a conscious attempt at mythmaking, exemplified by the faux-folk ballad played over shots of the soldiers walking down the road. That mix lends the film a

audiovisual field. People have spoken of the result as "realism," which implies "a kind of objectivity. But properly speaking the effect is, in both cases, really a kind of impressionism — that is, the evocation of the subjective experience of battle. In achieving that effect, Spielberg and his cameraman Janusz Kaminski used as their model the footage of actual combat cameramen, including famous shots of the D-day invasion by Life photographer Robert Capa. In that regard, one of the films that Ryan most strongly recalls is John Huston's unforgettable The Battle of San Pietro, which records a regiment's efforts to capture a 700-year-old village in Italy's Liri Valley. Built around footage gathered at the

singular flavor. A Walk in the Sun represents a key point in the transition to a new, post-war form of the W W II combat film, a genre that has been closely investigated by film scholars. Although Ryan is not, by definition, a formula film, it is interesting to note the lingering generic elements in its makeup. Principal among these is the idea of a precisely articulated group of men who are given a specific objective, and a certain dramatic conflict arising between them and the officer in charge, whose responsibilities separate him from the group, and who carries an unsupportable psychological burden. Generic, too, are the "last stand" elements of its closing action, particularly the pointed reference to the final building in their planned retreat as "the Alamo." Undoubtedly, Saving Private Ryan is part of a stillrelevant tradition of films, even as it transcends it. For viewers whose interest in that tradition has been revived by Ryan, a wealth of films awaits on video. (7) Videos courtesy ofWaterfront Video in Burlington.

into the territory of the unconscious." Other than an interest in dreams, there seems to be little connection between the works of the two artists, who share an exhibit space this month at Burlington's Doll-Andstadt Gallery. Fredericks describes her efforts as "poetic attempts" to visualize a "duality where divine essence seems to be at odds with a material world." Her solid structural approach to the picture plane, combined with a dark and earthy palette, makes her works seem like moody Monets. And indeed there is poetry in her paint. The boats in "Quiet" float like waterlilies on a small sea of acrylic and mixed-media textures. "The Leaving, the Arriving II" possesses a subtle mystery generated by an ambiguous portrayal of...fallen sails? A tarpaulin? The draped form is rendered with just enough naturalism to cre-

gold leaf on its brightly hued surface. Fredericks is a confident weaver of lines, and in this painting her lines are freestanding details. They are neither delineation nor description, but a world unto themselves. Unreconstructed surrealist Lynn Imperatore has written that "I am not motivated to make a work if I know what it will look like before I begin." Considering the illustrative affectations of her attempts at drawing, and the formulaic quality of her use of black, white, gray and accents of color, such a statement seems a bit hollow. These works are eminently predictable. "Nightmare Escape" features one of Imperatore's hallmark moon-faced children in striped pajamas, flying through a forest of stark trees. The vapid child flies over a group of three figures struggling through the forest floor, in a dream-like sequence that
to rehashing overworked Surrealist motifs. "Paris Water Dream" has a few interesting passages at the top of the canvas, where Imperatore has indicated architectural elements, but one of those pancake-faced figures muddles the edgy desolation. Imperatore appears to be trying to create a Maurice Sendak-meets-Kathe Kollwitz kind of universe, but, despite the flying figures, her efforts never seem to get off the ground. (7)

PIc t U r E s sHoRTs rating scale: pRevIEwS DEAD MAN ON CAMPUS Tom Everett Scott (That Thing You Do) and Mark-Paul Gosselaar are teamed in this sophomoric-sounding saga about freshman who concoct a screwball scheme for raising their grades.
WRONGFULLY ACCUSED Braveheart,
The Fugitive and The Big Sleep are just a few of the movies spoofed in the latest from Leslie Nielsen. Richard Crenna co-stars.
New on vSDEo THE APOSTLE**** Robert Duvall wrote, directed, produced - and snagged a Best Actor Oscar nomination - for his electrifying performance in this richly textured look at the rise and fall of a Southern Pentecostal preacher. Farrah Fawcett and Miranda Richardson costar.
KUNDUN (NR)
Melissa (E.T.) Mathison wrote and Martin Scorsese directed 1997's second look at the saga of the 14th Dalai Lama. This time the story of the religious leader's life is told without the help of Brad Pitt, and only through 1959, the year he fled Tibet for India.
AIR BUD: GOLDEN RECEIVER (NR) Kevin Zegers returns for the continuing adventures of everyone's favorite sportshound. This rime around, the fuzzy family fun involves the dog's foray into football SNAKE EYES CNR) The latest from Brian De Palm a stars Nicolas Cage as an Atlantic City cop with just two hours to figure out who assassinated the Secretary of Defense in the middle of a sold-out boxing match. With Gary Sinise and John Heard. SAVING PRIVATE RYAN*** Tom Hanks, Man Damon, Ed Burns and Tom Sizemore are teamed for Steven Spielberg's unflinching meditation on the horror of battle. THE MASK OF ZORRO** 1 / 2 Anthony Hopkins plays a middle-aged swashbuckler who passes professional secrets on to ZoiTO-m-craimttg Antonio Banderas. Martin {Golden-Eye) THE PARENT TRAP (NR) From the

that breathed new life into his failing career: A la Nutty Professor, the comedian stars here in an update of another family-friendly classic Albert Brooks, Chris Rock, Norm Macdonald, Paul Reubens and other comics provide the voices for a menagerie of wisecracking animals. Betty {Private Parts) Thomas directs.
FiLMQuIZ cosponsored by carburs restaurant & lounge
ARMAGEDDON** The forecast for July calls for testosterone. Lots and lots of testosterone. In advance of noisy, routine-looking acrion packages like Lethal Weapon 4, Mark ofZorro and The Negotiator, comes the latest from Jerry {Top Gun, Crimson Tide) Bruckheimer •— the noisty, routine-looking story of a bunch of ultra-macho space cowboys who try to stop an oncoming comet from wiping out the world. Bruce Willis, Ben Affleck, Will Patton and Steve Buscemi star. Michael {Bad Boys) Bay directs. THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY*** There may be something about Mary, but there's nothing about this movie that's worth buying a ticket to see, since almost all the films funny stuff is available for free in its previews. Ben Stiller plays a one-time nerd who can't get over a high school crush on Cameron Diaz. From the folks who brought you Dumb and Dumber. MADELINE (NR) Frances McDonnand and Hatty Jones star in this adaptation of Ludwig Bemeiman's beloved children's book about a mischievous French schoolgirl. With Nigel Hawthorne. THE HORSE WHISPERER (NR) Robert Redford is back in the saddle again as both star and director of the big-screen version of Nicholas Evans' best-seller about a trainer who changes the life of a young girl injuricd in a riding accident. With Scarlett Johansson and Kristin Scott Thomas. TITANIC (NR) Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, Billy Zane and Kathy Bates are among the big names on board James Cameron's monumental look at modern history's most famous disaster. A PERFECT MURDER (NR) Andrew Davis directs this update of the Hitchcock classic, Dial M For Murder. Michael Douglas plays a jealousy-crazed husband who arranges for his wife to be killed by the very man with whom she is having an affair. Gwyneth Pal trow and Viggo Mortensen co-star. GODZILLA**1 I'm sorry, but, from what I've seen, the $120 million event movie of the summer looks like little more than The Lost World on steroids: The lean, muscular giant reptiles, that familiar dino-roar, the bull-in-a-chinashop romp through the streets of New York. Oh, I see the difference — Matthew Broderick plays the

They can't all be classics. In fact, what we've got for you this week are scenes from four pictures that barely even registered in the public consciousness and did so-so business at best. Your job is to convince us they are gone but not forgotten.

H 2 0** Its central character may be a guy named Michael Myers, but my guess is this latest installment in the Halloween series will prove less than shagedelic. From the writer behind those inexplicably popular Scream movies. With Jamie Lee Curtis and Adam Arkin. HOW STELLA GOT HER GROOVE BACK CNR) Angela Bassett andWhoopi Goldberg are teamed for the screen adaptation of the 1996 Terry McMillan best-seller about a woman who falls for a man half her age. FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS — (NR) Monty Python alum Terry Gilliam might seem a very strange choice to direct this big-screen adaptation, but then, what isn't very strange when it comes to Hunter Thompson's paranoid psycho-circus of a novel? Johnny Depp stars as the father of gonzo Journalism. With Benicio D d Toro and Gary Busey. THE NEGOTIATOR*** Samuel L. Jackson plays a police negotiator who starts taking hostages when he finds himself framed for murder. Kevin Spacey co-stars as a bank president who breaks into his own vault after being accused of embezzlement. With David Morse as an insurance company clerk < . who steals a whole bunch of paper clips in response to getting accused of pilferage. Just kidding. Well, except about that first one. Tim's the plot, believe it or not.

Feminist in Fair Haven Dear Feminist, Get a life, girl. The whole point of fantasies is that they allow us to visit areas of cur subconscious that we wouldn't dare — or even want — to explore in our real lives. If you need to know why you can't get off on the image of Jesse Helms spanking your bare butt with six-inch stilettos, go see a shrink. Otherwise, relax, lie back, and enjoy whatever sordid movies your mind wants to play.

Dear Lola, I am appalled by the content of my sexual fantasies. As a devoted feminist and human rights activist, I abhor violence and powerbased interpersonal dynamics. I am fortunate to be in a loving, egalitarian relationship. But whenever I strive for sexual satisfaction — with or without my partner — I find myself imagining despicable scenes of dominance and submission. How can I bring my fantasy life into harmony with my political convictions?
