"He told me he was mad at everyone," said his lawyer, Barry Albin. "They asked me what to do, and I said bring him in naked, and that's what they did." U.S. District Judge Kathryn H.

CAMPUS CAPERS Colleges have discovered a troubling side effect of the digital age; Growing numbers of students are becoming addicted to the Internet. As a result, reported The Washington Post, some universities are imposing limits on the time students spend on campus computers. Other colleges are debating whether to monitor the time students spend on computer games and chat rooms, then program a warning to appear on their screens when it gets excessive. "Obviously this is a wonderful tool, and for many students it's perfectly fine," University of Maryland counselor Linda Tipton said. "But
for others, it's becoming a tremendous escape from the pressures of college life. Students can become whomever they want, for as long as they want, and many other things in their lives, like classes, start to suffer."

Hebranko once dropped 700 pounds and became a spokesperson for dietmeister Richard Simmons' Deal-A-Meal program. Simmons said Hebranko had regained the weight because "emotionally, he was not ready to handle the metamorphosis from fat person to nice-looking man." This time he left the hospital two months later, weighing only 500 pounds and claiming he was a "changed man." Able to stand and take a few steps, he announced his first goal on the road to recovery was "to walk around the block." •

Maims Jr., noted that since the incident his client has been "having trouble walking gracefully and elegantly." • When Michael Hebranko, 43, needed to be taken to a New York City hospital in May, construction workers had to knock a 10-by-5-foot hole in the side of his home in Brooklyn to remove the 800-pound man, who had been unable to walk for the past 10 weeks and was confined to a love seat in his living room. He was removed through the hole after being loaded onto a special stretcher usually used to move small whales, then transferred to an ambulance by forklift.

'Street le^K K ? majors, street legs torH the Scott MacPherson describes his musical mission in Burlington. His Saratoga Springs-based company has already signed the Central Vermont band Tokyo Storm Warning — although the details are slightly different than reported last week in the Burlington Free Press. The company will have a regular presence in Burlington through musician-producer-director Martin Guigui, who is now working for CMG Music in Burlington as a freelance talent scout. "Martin has steered us in a couple of directions that might hopefully work out," MacPherson says. "If he found something that was worth a look, I would go up and check it out." CMG — an indie record label and production company — is looking for northeast talent to resell to the majors. "There is just a lot of good talent in Burlington," says MacPherson, who has worked on records for Marshall Tucker,
! | ; ! ! |
Johnny Winter, and Hall &: Oates, among others. "I haven't seen anything I didn't like." As for the Freeps story, "he just got all the facts wrong," MacPherson says. One, anyway. The CMG plan is to release the existing TSW disc, remix and repackage it, and promote it on radio stations nationwide. National distribution through Polygram is still a pipedream.

HAIR TO ETERNITY Continued from the cover Nicholls counts among his close friends the recently-spotted-in-Burlington couple, Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins. He met Sarandon when he was still "Claude," Robbins on the set of The Player. Nicholls has worked with actor/director Robbins on five films, including last year's provocative Dead Man Walking. But if his occupation allows him to hobnob with stars, Nicholls remains down-to-earth — he prefers the slow lane of Vermont and avoids glam events like the Academy Awards. A quartercentury on stage, screen and set, as another friend puts it, "hasn't made his head get big." It's just made his life big. "Allan's problem is, he's too good at everything, and our society doesn't like that," says Altman. "You can't be a good golfer and a good tennis player. Allan is a writer, director, assistant director, producer — and
actors' names, became household words. Nicholls did get his share of press, though. One paper in Toronto (where he'd served some time in college) attempted to establish that Nicholls was really a clean-cut young businessman despite the long hair. "I protest the things I don't like," Nicholls was quoted as stating. "But hippie-wise there are a lot of things I don't buy. There are a lot of plastic things in the hippie movement. Like dirt. I don't like dirt. I don't like livin' in dirt. In fact, I just hate dirt." The neatnik image is corroborated by Nicholls' old friend Brian Greenway, a fellow musician in his post-Hair band, Mashmakhan, back in Montreal. "We had a house together, and he was such a clean person — and an organizer." But Nicholls could also be a party animal. "You never knew what he was going to do next," Greenway says. "He was known to come out on stage in

B
orn in St. Rose, Quebec, Allan Nicholls was the younger of two musical sons. His parents were a songand-dance act who had entertained the troops. A performer himself since age 10, Nicholls enjoyed rock-stardom in Montreal for several years before his American manager suggested auditioning for Hair. His band, J.B. and the Playboys, had several radio hits and had opened for The Rolling Stones and other major acts. But, like most Canadian bands, the Playboys found it impossible to break into the U.S. market — even if they did dress like The Beatles. The Playboys were history by the time Nicholls landed in Hair to make some on his own. The ensemble nature of the musical meant that no one got famous; the lyrics, not the august

a clown suit. He's an all-round entertainer." Now in the band April Wine and living in Montgomery, Vermont — where Nicholls' ex-wife and sons reside — Greenway says talks with his old friend often turn to making music again, but the work schedules of both ensure that won't happen too soon. To get ready, Nicholls is slowly finishing off a section of his basement in which he can play — loud. Old rock 'n' rollers never die, it seems — but they do produce. Nicholls had played music in Nashville, written it for A Perfect Couple and Three Women — the singers included then-upstart Vince Gill — and directed an independent piece for television based on Leonard Cohen songs. Upstairs, beyond his Pottery Barn-appointed rooms in Colchester, hangs evidence of a producer's dream: a gold record. This one happens to be the best-selling soundtrack to Pret-a-Porter (Ready to
Wear), Altman's spoof of the high-fashion world, for which Nicholls was music supervisor. "The record," laments .Altman, "made more money than the film." And if you ask, Nicholls might show you his award from the Vermont Ad Council, for his only Green Mountain project to date: a music video for "Back to the Pyramids." The anti-mall song, produced for the Williston activist group Citizens for Responsible Growth, featured The Fortune Tellers, with whom Nicholls has been known to jam at his favorite Burlington hang-out, Nectar's. "I met him when he was working on Sweet Heart's Dance [a Vermont-made film starring Susan Sarandon and Don Johnson]," says Tellers bassist Mark Ransom. "With all the Hollywood types coming to town, here was this nice friendly guy who didn't seem to think it was any big deal." Continued

When Hair, the American Tribal Love Rock Musical, appears at the Flynn this weekend on its Silver Anniversary tour, you'll be likely to see two or three generations of family members in attendance — together. Contrast this with the first run that shocked Broadway audiences with nudity, street language, warprotesting and psychedelic (as in drugs) orientation in 1968. The hipness of Hair then is nostalgia now, but given the return of tie-dye \; ^ < and other hippie I M M M M B accoutrements, KvflfVfllP ^Osilowerchil- ^ J ^ M g ^ g p dren may not 1 P ^ T T « P a B find the gear or the 'dos at all strange. And, I gi linger or grandparent, you have to admit the music was cool — Hair is the only Broadway show in historv to score five Top 10 hits. ' If you go. heres some other Hair-y trivia to keep in mind: • With 1742 Broadway and another 105 off-Bi oadway perfbrmances, Hair was the 10th longest-running stage show in NewYork^— the seventh longestrunning musical, ^ t l l ^ • By August 1973, 26 million people worldwide had seen Hair — it was performed in 14 lan-
guages. • Hair pioneered the "non-book" musical — one with a theme but no real plot. Hair also introduced rock music to Broadway. • Composer Gak MacDermot won the Drama Desk-Vernon Rice Award for the 1967-68 season for best musical score. • The shows brief and highly overrated nude scene caused it to be banned in some countries.

Nicholls had Montreal an< Mashmakhan, which he describes as "original, orchestrated rock — sort of Yes-like without the high voice." Carradine, who'd also performed in Hair\ suggested he come out to L.A. and play Bill, one-third of a folk-rock trio that turns out to be sort of a menage a trots. The movie version, confides Nicholls, was based on a real-life one, in which the cuckolder was John Denver. If the introduction to Altman was unusual — Nashville was considered by some a masterpiece, by others a rambling enigma — it was also propitious. Nicholls had small roles in the esteemed director's next few films, then gradually slipped behind the scenes. "I was a little bored as an actor," he says. "There was a lot of down time, and it rubbed me the wrong way. With assistantdirecting, you're there all the time." Some 20-odd films, television movies and a three-year production stint on "Saturday

For the past five years, Nicholls has joined Larsen at his family vacation spot in — Robert Altman Maine — and organizes things. "He plans the meals," Larsen reveals. "It takes him about a week to unwind and then he's more relaxed." Next week, he adds, they'll be going together, en famille, to see Smashing Hawaiian music, and an exotic Pumpkins in Montreal. drink called the Tropical Itch.

NADER EVADERS
Kellev
T
he current petition campaign to put Ralph Nader on the ballot in Vermont almost certainly won't affect the outcome of the presidential race. But it could have an impact on politics in the Green Mountains — especially at the left end of the spectrum. Signature-gathering on Nader's behalf is proceeding in Vermont without assistance from Congressman Bernie Sanders or from the Progressive Coalition, of which Sanders is the most prominent member. That hands-off posture is termed "disappointing" by a local organizer of the Nader drive. After all, on many key issues Sanders and the Progressives stand much closer to Nader than to President Bill Clinton. Yet Vermont's Independent congressman says he will be voting for Clinton in November. And the PC. evinces no interest in supporting Nader or the progressive

ticks off several policy matters, including abortion rights and entitlement programs, on which he regards Clinton as "clearly preferable."
He's a good friend of mine," Sanders says. He adds, though, that "Nader will get at most 2 or 3 percent of the vote nationally." At least a few individual members of the Progressive Coalition nevertheless plan to include themselves among that 2 or 3 percent. Their refusal to cast a ballot for Clinton reflects a sentiment that may be even more widely shared among liberals and leftists nationwide. A sizable number of progressive-minded voters have been deeply alienated by the president's decision to sign Republican-drafted legislation eliminating the main federal welfare program. They regard Clinton's stand on this issue as a final straw — the ultimate stage in what Nader describes as the president's strategy of "protective imitation" of the Republicans. State Representative Terry Bouricius is one Progressive who says he'll probably vote for Nader. "I regard the choice between Bob Dole and Bill Clinton as so deplorable that
POLITICS
Favor-trading may also be playing a role. George Stephanoupolous, a senior advisor to the president, declared during a recent stopover in Vermont that it is important that Sanders be reelected to Congress. Similarly, leaders of the Democratic National Committee tried hard to discourage Democrat Jack Long from entering Vermont's congressional race, fearing he can only help Republican Susan Sweetser capture the state's lone U.S. House seat. Sanders clearly has made the same calculation in regard to Nader's bid for the presidency. He views the consumer rights activist as a potential spoiler who can only help Dole take over the White House. "I've known and respected Ralph Nader for many years.

Mountain Granite Street Extension, Montpelier (on the river next to Allen Lumber)
one-woman show is the public recognition of the power of women's voices. We women have to write our own history — as people of color and Holocaust survivors do theirs — so that we may claim it, so that it exists, so that it is ours. Paula Plum has returned to Unadilla with two one-woman plays, this year with her own material: a comedy about obsession and a story of the Holocaust. Last year audiences found her mind-bogglingly funny and brilliant. But in this foray into writing her own works, titled Plum Crazy and Memorial, it's unfortunate to find that she incorporates mean-spirited voices of insult from within each female character. It's sadder still that her tribute to Holocaust survivors has a prurient tone and a false happy ending. In Plum Crazy, Plum portrays a gallery of stereotypes garlanded with bright, fake accents and mimed movements. An introverted message-taker at a phone service in New York City is nervous about an allnight shift. ("This is my first graveyard shift... Does that mean I have to take messages for dead people?") To get through the night, she introduces the audience to her clients, whose lives she has followed based on the messages they receive. They appear one by one, and Plum plays them all: a Southern waitress with a heart of gold, an actress desperate for the big-time who binge-purges her nights away; an elderly British dame who calls everyone "dahling"; a French artist who sounds like Edith Piaf run through a shredder.

ONE STOP I 11 11 mM The new ^ V \r I Hunger Mountain Brings specialty products— and controversy — to the table By Nancy S t e a r n s Bercaw
N
ot too long ago, 1600 members of the Hunger Mountain Co-op were rationing their food from close quarters. Today, the Montpelierbased community-owned cornucopia is a feast for the eyes. The transformation from small store to role model required one radical idea, $2.1 million and three years to bring to the table. Tucked between the river and the railroad, the new Hunger Mountain looks like a supermarket and shops like a gourmet specialty store. You can still get rice and beans, but also organic coffees, gourmet pasta and olive oils from around the world. Some love the high-end offerings and easy-access architecture. Others just want to know why Hunger Mountain sold out. It's more a question of survival, explains George Southworth of the Brattleborobased Northeast Co-operatives — one of the fastest-growing distributors of natural products in the country. Burgeoning mass merchants like Wal-Mart have changed the shopping equation. These one-stop shops have half the operating costs of supermarkets. They also tend to stock their shelves with cheap goods from overseas. The new bottom line is affordable efficiency for families on the go and on a budget. The trickledown effect has turned into something of a downpour. "Supermarkets lost 68 percent of their paper goods business to these large formats. They reacted by lowering prices, but they're still not making any money," Southworth reports. "They started looking for natural foods to distinguish themselves. It puts pressure on co-ops to react accordingly." Critics of the move say Hunger Mountain over-reacted when the members overwhelming voted for a major overhaul. The store scarcely resembles its
funky, crunchy, 1700-squarefoot former self. The revised look is more post-industrial complex meets Euro-barn aesthetic. Its avant-garde aisles are chock full of amenities, including a coffee bar, a meat section and a mega array of personal products. There's also 8000 square feet of shopping space and an abundance of parking spots. But it's what the people
ping experience." The future is here at Hunger Mountain. Although the architecture is disconcerting at first — one member says it doesn't make sense to her body after a lifetime of straight-and-narrow aisles — the arched interior was designed to encourage shoppers' paths to cross and to create communal areas. Tony Bucci interpreted the inside from member suggestions

wanted. The proof is in the profits, which are 10 percent over projection, and in the membership, which has increased by 400 since May. "I think all co-ops are changing. Anything that doesn't can't survive. Each co-op should find its own identity," explains Ned Flinn, Hunger Mountain's general manager. "Commercial supermarkets have done a good job, but the main difference is the ownership issue. Most tend to be owned by foreign corporations with ' profits going out of the country," he continues. "Natural food co-ops were started in the '60s and 70s and are associated with the hippie movement. But a lot of businesses actually were started as co-ops. The fact that the end user is the owner and is in control is the exciting aspect." Southworth, another ardent supporter of the new co-operative order, says that 30 cents of every consumer dollar allocated to food used to be spent on prepared foods. Today it's up to 50 cents. "That's why you see grocery stores with a perimeter of prepared foods, or 'race track' shopping," he says. "Co-ops led the organic charge. Now they're leading in changing the shop-
and temperaments. "The layout is unconventional, like Vermonters, but user-friendly," says the inventive owner of Anthony Bucci Designs. "We need to compete in the marketplace and appeal to the community. We realize we're different." Bucci describes the structure as "an eclectic cross between a traditional post-and-beam Vermont barn and a conventional steel-framed warehouse building." But it's really a nofrills project, he cautions. "The whole interior is just a choice of colors that play off each other, which allows the building to be as it is." The goals were twofold: Make the shopping experience fun and make the merchandise the focal point. The methods were simple: layout and lighting. "Interiors aren't typically integrated with their merchandise. So much money is spent on graphic design for labels and packaging. There is no sense in competing with that," Bucci explains. "We picked black shelves. Products jump out. We're using energy more efficiently, not just lighting blank space." What really makes the store successful, he says, is the combiContinued

Continued from page 12 Grand Night for Singing" or "Some Enchanted Evening." A Broadway baby-face, Thade has a cherubic expression, an earnest manner and a big, gorgeous tenor that wraps itself around the much-loved songs of Rodgers & Hammerstein, Jerome Kern, or Lerner 6c Lowe. He introduces some of the songs with interesting tidbits about musical-theater history and how it has become a peculiarly American genre. Its easy to picture Thade in each of the musicals he sings from: the corn-fed hero of Oklahoma tackling "Oh, "What a Beautiful Mornin'" with open arms; the lovestruck Tony from West Side Story; the bad-boy roustabout from Carousel. With none of the frenetic chutzpah of the actor who has to sell a song, this singer is all sincerity, with a bigger-thanlife, sonorous voice. Like somebody's favorite nephew home to entertain the whole neighborhood, Thade's twinkling eyes and broad interpretations melt the room. •

THE IRONY AND THE ECSTASY Vermont

feel like I got run over by a truck today," Dot Helling laughs. Poor truck. This 47-yearold Montpelier lawyer runs 40 miles and bikes 100 in an average weekend. Few people want to drive as far as she trains. Helling is an ultramarathoner with a mission improbable. This September, she and a friend seek to become the first North American women to finish the infamous Earth Journey Vermont Sun Triathlon — a three-day, muscle-defying, mind-blowing, will-powered passage to physical oblivion. To train, she gets maximum support from her sponsors, Onion River Sports and Mad River Canoe. To finish, she needs a two-person crew for medical help and mental health. Here's the plan: On day one, she'll canoe 13 miles in Lake Dunmore and follow it up with a 95-mile bike ride from Bristol to Brandon through^the

Appalachian and Brandon Gaps. On day two, she'll cycle the 168-mile loop from Middlebury through Sherburne pass to Manchester and back. Then, she'll top it off on day three with a 51-mile run. What's the point? "It makes me feel self-sufficient, like I can do anything," says Helling, who has spent the past 16 years doing everything. It all started innocently enough. She took up running to get in better condition for skiing. She picked up the pace in law school because it was an inexpensive and convenient way to exercise. And she hit her stride in 1980 when some friends gave her an application for the torch relay in the Winter Olympics. Helling's selection held as much irony as honor: The torch she helped carry from Virginia to Lake Placid was for her father. "He was one ^ ^ of the top pole vaulters in Germany,", she. explains. "But

Central Vermont Progressives have expressed views similar to Bouricius', says Nader petition organizer Gary Widrick. The Progressive Coalition, however, has not even held a formal discussion of whether support for Nader might be tactically wise as well as politically principled. . Sanders'unmistakable signaling of his own preferences no doubt discourages any move to put PC muscle behind Nader. Alexander Cockburn, a columnist for the left-of-center Nation, recently accused Sanders of having effectively squelched an attempt to run Anthony Pollina as a Progressive-backed candidate for Vermont governor. Sanders, the titular leader of the PC, refused to help his former aide on the grounds that a Progressive bid for governor might divert energies from his own re-election campaign,

This week, for instance, Nader will be formally nominated as the presidential candidate of the California Green Party. Running "a celebrity" for the White House is probably not the right way to go about building a viable progressive party, argues Bouricius.

nation of warm and cool palettes. Natural tones, like Hunger Mountain's choice of olive and rosewood, are more nurturing. Product placement is equally as sensitive. Instead of putting produce first, it's in the middle for easy pickin's. The point is to keep organic veggies from getting crushed under bulk buys. The diverse deli opted for two eight-foot cases instead of one 16-footer in order to split up the vegetarian and meat offerings for the even the most counter-productive members. "I really like what has happened," Bucci observes. "The success of the project is a reflection of the success within the community and the co-op's membership." He points to the comment book, where the members have been forthcoming with compliments, for further evidence. "I've seen where my money has gone," reads one of entries. And the pay-off may be just around the corner. At this rate, Southworth believes, Hunger Mountain could evolve into another Hanover Food Co-op. "They return 3 to 4 percent to their members," he says, "which translates into one free week of shopping per year." !

WORK In a state known for hav-
ing a gazillion fine artists and craftmakers, Sabra Field ranks as one of the best-known. The East Barnard printmaker, whose work has graced a postage stamp (the Vermont Bicentennial, 1987) and a hot-air balloon, is beloved by tourists and natives alike for her hand-pulled woodblock prints of bucolic Vermont. The technique — well-suited to the iconic, glorified pastoralism Field favors — inherently demands simplified images, solid expanses of color, minimal detail — and hard work. In less competent hands woodblock is, well, blocky. But Field manages, through exquisite cutting and many painstaking steps, to add layer upon layer of vibrant color and more nuance than one would think possible, especially in her large-scale, arcadian landscapes. She also has a painterly eye for composition, evidenced not only in her "lay of the land" but in the smaller, Japanese-inspired vignettes, like a bluebird on a blossom-laden branch, or the neat meander of a brook or newly plowed field. Though Vermont's undulating hillsides virtually define Field's ouevre, in fact she's interpreted rural Italy — check

\
newest member ot the San Francisco Giants, a center-fielder whose lifetime batting average is eclipsed only by the 40-pius million the team has spent to sign him. He is also the Figure De Niro's character idolizes most in all the world, an athlete whom he believes embodies the quest for purity and perfection. He aspires to the same in his job as a salesman of frightening hunting knives. For the first third of the movie, Scott rips off Death of a Salesman, and we watch as De Niro eventually gets the heave-ho from .1 manager a fraction of his age. Next we're treated to a wholesale plundering of The King of Comedy. De Niro retreats into a fantasy world with Snipes at its center. Inevitably, a la Rupert Pupkin, he invades the celebrity's space and commits a kidnapping. The films final act is a sick and manipulative amalgam of elements lifted from Taxi Driver, Cape Fear and half a dozen second-rate suspense thrillers. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a dark, weird, violent or twisted motion picture as much as the nexr guy. But, like anything else, there's a right way and a wrong way to do these things. With its puerile excuse for character development, its flimsy psychological underpinnings and, worst of all, the unfortunate uses to which young children are put in its so-called plot, The Fan is not just a shabby film that cannibalizes several superior ones — its a downright distasteful experience. Scott figured the combination of a beserk De Niro and major league baseball would hit one out of the park. Instead, the film drifts foul quickly and stays there.

T R A I N S P O T T I N G * * * One of the most talked-about pictures of the year, the latest from Danny Shallow Grave Boyle offers the existential adventures of a band of Scottish junkies. B O R D E L L O OF B L O O D ( N R ) If stuff like this doesn't signal the end of summer (or civilization, for that matter), I don't know what does. Dennis Miller co-stars with Corey Feldman in the second installment of the Tales From the Crypt series — a From Dusk Til Dawn-reminiscent busines about a vampirerun cathouse. EMMA ( N R ) Believe it or not, this is the story that inspired last year's Clueless. Jane Austen's 1816 novel concerns an upper-class girl who loves to play Cupid. Gwyneth Paltrow stars. H O U S E A R R E S T { N R ) Jamie Lee Curtis and Kevin Pollak play a divorcing couple whose kids hold them hostage in an effort to make them reconcile. E S C A P E FROM L . A . * * W e Ve been blown away by tornados, nearly wiped out by aliens and flashed by Demi Moore. What other natural (or in Demi's case, au nature1} disasters could summer still have in store? How about an earthquake so colossal it turns the city of Los Angeles into an island overrun by criminals and forces outlaw hero Snake (Kurt Russell) Plissken out of retirement. John Carpenter directs this sequel to his 1981 sci-fi classic. T I N C U P ( N R ) The latest from Ron {Bull Durham) Shelton pairs Kevin Costner as a small town driving range pro with Don Johnson in the role of his more successful rival. Costner attempts to win both the U.S. Open and the heart of Johnson's love interest, Rene Russo. A L A S K A ( N R ) From director Fraser C. Heston comes a film that's been described as "Cliffhanger for kids." Two young people brave the frozen (is there any other kind?) tundra to rescue their stranded father, played by Dirk Benedict. C H A I N R E A C T I O N * * Keanu Reeves follows the no-go Johnny Mnemonic and the no-show Feeling Minnesota with this action-F/X package from the director of The Fugitive. Reeves plays a lab machinist on the run after being framed for the murder of a scientist, but I've seen better-written, more exciting edge-of-your-seat stuff on Mister Rogers.

ARICS (Mar. 21-
f
1 V 3 BY ROB BREZSNY
1 Apr. 19): I f l were | your kahuna, I'd prescribe herbs to build your immune system. I'd advise you to | meditate on three images that I represent your ultimate desires. I'd have you dance inside a red chalk circle while chanting "love creates j me." Most of all, Aries, i f l were | responsibleforyour health and well| being, I'd do everything in my power to get you to take more | responsibilityforpumping up your j own health and well-being. | TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): I ; thought of you all day yesterday. At j 6 a.m. I was atop Haleakala, Maui's | dormant volcano. The gorgeous rainbow splendor of the sunrise as it splashed onto the crater reminded me of the gorgeous panoramic | visions you'll soon be blessed with. I j spent the next few hours coasting j downhill on a mountain bike. The j low-level endorphin rush that I burbled in meforthose 38 miles | called to mind the ease and grace | that'll be streaming your way in the l weeks ahead. As I meditated on how | hard I've worked this year, and how ; much I deserved all this pleasure, I ; realized the exact same thing can be i said about you.
Pisces (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): I'm on
my annual Oracular Scavenger Hunt, traveling around trolling for fresh metaphors to fuel my auguries. Just now, while basking on a Hawaiian beach and sipping some sweet goo, I turned my thoughts to your horoscope. "Send me a sign, O Neptune," I prayed in the direction of the sea. As if in reply, I overheard the folks next to me discussing Hawaii's average yearly rainfall. They said that Honolulu registers 24 inches, while the Manoa Valley, just five miles away, gets over 12 feet. I immediately intuited that you're in a predicament that resembles a spot halfway between those two places. In one direction, there's barely enough moisture— that is to say, intimacy and emotion; in the other, there's so much as to be maybe too much.
GCMINI (May 21-June 20): In old
j Hawaii, families periodically carried i out the hdoponopono, or "setting ; relationships right." In his book ; Hawaiian Religion and Magic, Scott Cunningham describes this as a "prayerful family conference designed to discuss problems, find their root causes, solve them, and forgive all concerned." Given the fact that you're currently at a crossroads in your domestic history, I recommend such a ritual. Your tribes reactive, unsacred style of addressing its difficulties needs m o r e soul.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): The flight attendant on the morning jaunt from San Francisco to Hawaii told me she was scheduled to spend an hour in Honolulu and then
you have to do
and love.

+ J 11 my astrological ^^ B r rec ^oning, you • • • • • • • • • • • J P need a place like Maui right now —a sanctuary where you can hide out for a while and lick your wounds; or a temporary place of exile where you can pretend the rest of the world — and maybe your pas.t, too — doesn't exist. You may not have to go as far as Maui to find your escape hatch, Capricorn. But find it you must. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): There's a cynical, wise-ass voice deep inside me that's trying to taint my Hawaiian sojourn with comments like "Paradise sucks!" Even the pollyanna in me has to admit that it ain't easy coming up with my usual razor-sharp insights when my senses are ceaselessly barraged with pristine waterfalls, intoxicating smells and dazzling sunsets. Still, I'm grateful for a sabbatical from my usual addiction to struggle. Luckily for you, you'll have no such problem getting your brain to work at peak efficiency. The twisty tests and trials due in the next month will build your character (and intelligence!) more than in the past six months combined.
