T H E “TABLES” ARE T U R N E D

Whatshould the next governor do that Howard Dean didn’t? I think the same issues still exist — education, coming to grips with the growth of Chittenden County — and the next gover nor should continue to work on these. — Eric Bowker Co-owner, Catam ount Fam ily Center W illiston

We would like people to under stand clearly that the “Tables” rocks and cliffs [“Cliff Notes,” September 5] are part of the Rock Point property owned by the Episcopal Diocese of Vermont. For obvious safety reasons, the Diocese specifically prohibits jumping, div ing and swimming from any of the cliffs and ledges at Rock Point, including the Tables. Members of the community who wish to walk Rock Point’s trails may enter through the main Rock Point gate at Institute Road and request per mission at the Diocesan office dur ing work hours. Those who use the property without a pass are tres passing. In order for the Diocese to maintain its trails and natural areas in a safe and ecologically sound manner, the Diocese has found that it must protect this property from trespassers and prohibited uses. No one should be encouraged to swim, dive or jump from the Tables. — Laurie Broughton

We should be “In This Together.” We, the people, join in asking our Congress and President that we as a country share equally in the costs of the assault against us all. We cannot share the pain of those who lost loved ones, but we can share, together, 100 percent of the financial burden. No family with a lost parent, husband, wife or child should have to struggle with insurers; no one injured should have to have their health insurance or themselves pay, even in part. No victim’s family should have to pay for a funeral. From as simple as those indi

September 18, 2001 It is 9 a.m. on Tuesday morning, September 18, 2001 — exactly one week after the madness rained upon us. Yours truly sits in the same room, in front of the same computer and, just like one week ago, when the horrific mass slaughter of innocents was beamed worldwide, we have a job to do. Life does goes on in spite of it all. It’s been a week of tears and a week of fears. O f despondency and anguish. O f sadness and anger. So affected were people from every walk of life that for a lew days the rudeness and road rage of our daily life suddenly evaporated. People pulled together in mourning and respect. Yours truly has had countless soft-spoken, heart felt conversations on street cor ners from Burlap to Montpeculiar. The honesty of painful words shared between friends and strangers has been a spark of light in the darkness. But as the days passed, some among us inevitably pulled apart, pointed fingers, turned against neighbors, “for eigners” and even fellow Americans. Dozens and dozens of “Inside Track” readers sent gut-wrenching, heart-warming, inspiring e-mails. A tiny hand ful, however, dripped with ugly S Y P E T E partisan hatred. A reader from Grand Isle called on Thursday to scream his bloody anger into the phone. The experience of being targeted by a venomous stranger in the midst of national and personal anguish, unlike any we have ever experienced, was positively sickening. After 48 hours on tenterhooks, fearing a “sec ond wave,” the angry voice of this caller made us wonder if the terrorist madmen foresaw a second wave in which Americans would turn on one another. The gentleman was incensed that yours truly had expressed concern in last week’s painful col umn over the actions of President George W. BUSh during the hours following the terrorist assault on America. We, like many Americans, dearly wanted the comfort and assurance of our President taking charge. We wrote our honest thoughts as the unexplainable was broadcasted live to a shocked world. W hat we witnessed was Air Force One taking Mr. Bush from Florida to Louisiana and then to Nebraska, where the TV footage showed the President’s entourage descending into an underground bunker at a military base. “You liberals,” screamed the caller. “You shouldn’t be allowed to write a column!” The stranger foamed in full attack mode, condemning us as well for writing a recent column “canoniz ing” Vermont Gov. Howard Dean for his 10 years of service. He then suggested yours truly would likely soon be “burning the flag.” As everybody knows, “liberals” were not the only ones expressing similar concerns about the President in the daylight hours of September 11, 2001. The staunchly conservative Boston Herald, in its Wednesday edition, said Mr. Bushs actions “did not inspire confidence.” In his Wednesday column in The New York Times, William Satire, a renowned conservative and former Nixon speech writer, expressed simi lar thoughts: The Secret Service took fu ll charge o f President Bush, who was in Florida, running him secretly around the country making a nervous tape. Even in the first horrified moments, this was never seen as a nuclear attack by a foreign power. Bush should have insisted on coming right back to the Washington area, broadcasting — live and calm — from some secure facility not fa r from the White House. On Wednesday, the day after the attack, the White House said the President had taken the zig-zag route through the heartland because of a

“credible” threat that the Presidents plane was a target of the terrorists. But on Tuesday, neither Safire nor anyone else in the press or public knew of it. All we knew was a great and vicious horror had struck America, and we wanted our leader to take com mand as quickly as possible, to reassure us all and to lead the fight. In the days since, Mr. Bush has regularly stepped up to the plate. He has promised revenge. He has personally visited the sites of the attacks, spoken to the heroic firefighters and rescuers whose actions have done so much to bolster the nation’s spirit. He has promised he will “smoke” the terrorists “out of their holes” and “get them run ning” like prairie dogs. He has spoken of a massive and swift retaliation. Mr. Bush has identified Osama bin Laden, a Saudi Arabian billionaire, as the architect of this barbarism and wants him “dead or alive.” Make no mistake,,we sup port the President in his criti cal hour, in his call to bring those responsible to justice. We pray that wisdom fills his mind, and courage his heart. But we cannot support using America’s military might to enact revenge on thousands of men, women and children just as innocent as those who R F R E Y N E sat at their desks at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, or were buckled in their seats on those fateful flights out of Boston, Newark and Washington on September 11. This is not in any way, shape or form like World War II, Vietnam or Desert Storm. Surely, hell is not about living in fire, but liv ing in fear. And fear is the deadliest weapon in the arsenal of terrorism. “Airport security” we now know to be the greatest oxymoron in the English language. The cat’s out of the bag. Untrained, minimum-wage workers have for the past decade been the last line of defense that gave American air travelers a false sense of security. In the wake of the attack, in the midst of our mourning, we must ask this question: What is it that truly makes America “America?” Yours truly suggests it is not our wealth, our material comforts nor our giant skyscrapers. The stock market may plunge. The twin towers may crumble. But if we lose freedom, we lose the glue that truly binds us. Freedom of thought, freedom of expression, freedom of religion, freedom of the press. If we lose freedom, these maniacal murder ers win big. They may have destroyed a couple of our tallest buildings and murdered thousands, but we cannot allow them to destroy our beloved democracy. For it is because of our freedom that America’s light shines brightest among the nations of the Earth. United we stand. Divided we’ll fall. Thursday’s holier-than-thou caller made us real ize others like him would soon crawl out from under their rocks to use this horror to vilify their fellow Americans. Sure enough, that very evening Rev. Jerry Falwell told a 700 Club TV audience who to blame. “I really believe,” said Rev. Falwell, “that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Way, all of them who have tried to secularize America, I point the finger in their face and say, ‘You helped this happen. Host Pat Robertson replied, “Well, I totally concur, and the problem is, we have adopted that agenda at the highest levels of our government.” Those among us who today are pointing fin gers of blame for the September 11 attack at lib-

Curses, Foiled Again Two women and a man who burglarized a house in Ross County, Ohio, started to make their getaway but backed their Buick into a pond. They decid ed to lighten the car by dum p ing the stolen items — includ ing a microwave oven, television set, braided rug, satellite dish and lockbox — into the water. Homeowner Dorral Cunning ham returned from work and spotted the suspects trying to push their car out of the pond. He was about to help them when he recognized some of the items in the muddy water, so he called the sheriff. When deputies Tammy Brunette and Jason Gannon arrived, the three mud-covered suspects asked them for help. “I think they thought they could pretend like the car had been stuck or they had been in an accident,” Brunette said after arresting the trio, “but it didn’t work.” Cheese Whiz New York artist Cosimo Cavallaro announced plans to cover a house in Powell, Wyoming, inside and out with melted cheese. A Wisconsin company agreed to provide five tons of cheese for the project. • Canada retaliated against a U.S. decision reclassifying breaded cheese sticks as cheese instead of “other food” by effec tively closing the border to U.S.

breaded-cheese stick imports. Oussamah Tamim, a spokesper son with the Department of Foreign Affairs in Ottawa, said Washingtons move subjected southbound shipments of the snack food — a $3-million-ayear business — to tariffs and quotas, thereby impeding the “long-standing free flow ofi cheese sticks” between the two countries. Silver Lining City officials in Notting ham, England, spent $1.5 mil lion to install 215 solar-powered parking meters after studies showed countries in southern Europe that used them had saved a fortune in maintenance costs. Those countries enjoy plenty of sunshine, however, whereas Nottingham’s weather is much gloomier. As a result, more than a quarter of the machines have stopped work ing, providing motorists with free parking. “This is an illthought scheme,” city councilor Sally McNamara told the Daily Telegraph, adding the council has asked the meters’ suppliers to adjust the machines for the dark winter ahead. Failing Grade Five hooded gunmen held up a post office in Athens expecting to make off with 220 million drachmas ($546,400) stashed in two bags. Instead, the

bags they took contained hun dreds of final exams in algebra, Latin and chemistry from three schools on the Ionian island of Zakynthos. The Education Ministry asked the schools to repeat the tests.

Criminal Reservations Thieves in Lagos, Nigeria, have become so brazen they hand-deliver notices alerting intended victims to have money waiting for them to steal when they return. Robbers frequently operate in groups of 50 or more, hitting not just single houses but entire streets. The Associated Press reported in August that a notice was posted on the wall of an apartment complex warning, “We are com ing to Block 31 to rob each flat and no flat will be exempted.” Many tenants fled, but teacher Bolanie Ijikelly prepared an envelope with 650 naira ($5) in it to give to them. The robbers broke through the wall of her apartment with a sledgehammer and carted away her valuables, then ransacked 12 other apart ments before police officers finally chased them off, without making any arrests. ®

t was the first Friday, week one of the new world. I was in my taxi, out on the streets, still trying to make a living. I remember that when the Khmer Rouge took over Cambodia they imposed a new calendar, as if the nation’s history of a few thou sand years had ceased to exist and time was beginning anew. Had the terrorists who acted on September 11 achieved such a time stoppage? It felt that way to me, as if life as I had known it had evaporated, now existing only as a vaguely, if fondly, remem bered dream. I was called to Vermont Transit to take a college stu dent up to the freshmen dorms. Arriving at the bus terminal, I saw a young woman standing to the side, a single backpack slung over her shoulder. Her straw-colored hair was carelessly tied back in a long braid. She looked listless, almost shell-shocked. “Hey, did you phone for the cab?” I called to her, pulling to a stop. She nodded blankly, walked over and got in the front. As we got underway, ascending the hill, she suddenly looked familiar. “Didn’t I take you last Friday?” I asked. “What was it you told me — were you going down to New York City on account of a death in the family?” “Yeah, my grandmother died, and the funeral was last weekend. I was really close with her — it was just horrible. And then the terrorist attack...” A wave of dis tress came over her face. “This is the worst thing that ever hap pened in my life. I’ve had a stomach ache every morning for three days.” “It is a terrible thing,” I • agreed. “When I was a little kid — it must have been third grade — I remember the afternoon our teacher came into the room with tears streaming down her face. She was a beautiful old Irish lady, Mrs. Stroll, with a big bun of reddish-gray hair held aloft with

a couple of ancient silver clips. It’s funny the things you remem ber. Anyway, she told the class that President Kennedy had been shot and killed, and then she broke into sobs. They closed the school and sent us all home. That’s what this feels like now.” I glanced over at the young woman, and saw she was lost in her thoughts, not — or just bare ly — listening to my reminis cence. I didn’t blame her; the events of this week were not like anything. The baby-boomer story that spilled out of me was just me trying to cope, to impose

about.” Ever since the disaster, I’ve been inundated with the televi sion news at home, phone con versations with friends and rela tives, and then the feelings and ideas of the customers I drive in my taxicab. The usual talk of the weather and sports has ceased entirely, replaced by the only event that now seems to matter. What can I offer this pained young woman that won’t just be one more piece of overwhelming information? “Well,” I said, “this is what I’ve noticed. Everyone is going to have their own opinion, which is going to be colored by their personality and upbringing. It’s like the whole coun try is in bereave ment at the same time, just like what you’re going through with the loss of your grand mother. And we all grieve in different ways and at a differ ent pace.” “So who can you believe?” she asked. I could tell she was intently listening to me now — God help her. Her eyes were focused on me like a beam of light. “I think you have to figure it out for yourself It’s okay to lis ten to everyone’s ideas and feel ings — I think that’s all part of the healing that’s going on. But, at the end of the day, you got to come to your own conclusions. Nobody knows where this is all going to lead, but we all have a choice of sticking to our deepest values, and not getting swayed by anger and emotion of others.” We were stopped at the light at Spear Street, just near her dor mitory. I chuckled and asked, “Is this helpful to you in'the least? Am I makin’ any sense? ’Cause, you know, the crack cocaine is wreaking havoc with my coher-

There’s just raw emotion, inter spersed with varying degrees of numbness and diversion. “What’s going to happen now?” she turned to me and asked. She had little-kid eyes, beseeching and afraid. Some times I forget how young they are, the college kids, particularly the freshmen. The guys are most ly bigger, and stronger than me, and the women are vivacious and womanly as they stride around town with purpose and intent. But really, they’re only kids, bare ly out of high school, just flown from the protective nest of fami ly and home. “What do you think is gonna happen?” I said. “I have, like, no idea. This dude sitting next to me on the bus kept talking about war, and how it’s now our generation’s chance to prove ourselves. He was sure there was going to be many more attacks like this week. Even worse maybe. I mean, what could be worse? That’s, like, too sick to think

H OW A COUPLE OF VERMONTERS STARTED THE W ORLDS GREATEST NEWSPAPER BY KEVIN J. KELLEY

page 8a ...

espite their acute differences in scale and culture, New York City and Vermont have some visceral and personal connections, as was mournfully demonstrated during the past week. Vermont is a place of refuge for many expatriate New Yorkers, and a sizable number of native Vermonters have taken to Manhattan. The links extend

far back in American history. And included in the chain running from the Green Mountains to Gotham and back again are a few famous figures, as well as some individuals who aren’t historical celebrities but deserve to be. Among those in the latter category are H enry R aymond and G eorge J o nes . Don’t recognize those names? If not, it could be because Vermont and its institutions have inadequately promoted the states ties to the two men who co-founded The New York Times. Generally regarded as the world’s greatest newspaper, the Times is marking its 150th anniversary this week. Vermonters who were able to find a copy of the paper last week will attest that its reputation has only been bur nished by its coverage of the September 11 atrocities and their aftermath. Henry Jarvis Raymond, the Times first editor, gradu ated summa cum laude from the University of Vermont in 1840. He was renowned as a student for his oratorical skill, and it was during his Burlington years that Raymond launched his career in journalism, becoming a regular contributor to Horace Greeley’s New Yorker news paper. Raymond is remembered today at the University of Vermont by a bust in the Memorial Lounge of the Waterman Building. In addition, a brief article about this illustrious alum will appear in the forthcoming edition of a UVM publication. T hat’s it. Nothing else. Green Mountain College, by contrast, makes a big deal of George Jones, Raymond’s business partner, even though Jones never attended the school. GMC and the \xi-Timesxx\zx\ have Poultney roots in common. Born there in 1811, Jones was raised in a house that still stands on the green in East Poultney. And it was at The Northern Spectator, a Poultney-based publication where Greeley also worked, that Jones got his start in newspapering. Green Mountain College, established in 1834, honors Jones by bestowing two annual awards in his name. Both relate to his Welsh ancestry. His father was among the many early-19th century Welsh immigrants who settled in the Slate Valley that runs along both sides of the New York-Vermont border south of Lake Champlain.

he Vermont native and the UVM grad, who was born on a farm in Lima, New York, in 1820, worked together in the 1840s as reporters for Greeley’s next publishing venture, The Tribune, which operated from offices less than a mile from what would become the World Trade Center site. Small world. Jones went on to become a small-scale but successful banker in Albany. Raymond remained in journalism, though he had also developed a yearning for political office. One day, as they walked from Albany across the frozen Hudson River to catch a Manhattan-bound train, the two friends discussed the idea of starting a newspaper that could fill the niche between Greeley’s progressive Tribune and the tawdry, often reactionary papers that oth erwise dominated the rapidly expanding New York news paper market. Jones and Raymond managed to raise about $75,000

for the venture. And so it was that The New-York DailyTimes published Vol. 1, No. 1 on September 18, 1851. The guiding philosophy, enunciated in that four-page inaugural edition, has remained pretty consistent over the past 150 years. “We shall be Conservative,” Raymond wrote, “in all cases where we think Conservatism essential to the public good; and we shall be Radical in everything which may seem to us to require radical treatment, and radical reform. We do not believe that everything in society is either exact ly right, or exactly wrong; what is good we desire to pre serve and improve; what is evil, to exterminate, or

ones was left to lead the Times single-handedly. And he did so commendably for the next 22 years, until his own death in 1891. The most impressive episode of the Jones era — and one of the high points of 19thcentury American journalism, in general — involved the Times’ muckraking exposure of the hyper-corrupt Tweed Ring, headed by New York City’s most notorious mayor.

JONES’PROBITY WAS SUCH THAT HE SPURNED A $5 MILLION BRIBE — SERIOUS MONEY AT THE TIME — TO SNUFF THE TIMES’INVESTIGATION OF TWEED’S THIEVERY. reform... We do not mean to write as if we were in a pas sion, unless that shall really be the case; and we shall make it a point to get into a passion as rarely as possible.” This elegant feat of balance quickly won an apprecia tive audience. The Times’circulation reached 10,000 within two weeks of its birth, and by 1857 had climbed to 40,000. Jones receded into the background, serving as the paper’s business manager, while Raymond became its public face. In addition to editing The New-York DailyTimes, Raymond successfully pursued a political career, elected to the post of New York State Assembly speaker on two different occasions and later winning a seat in the United States Congress. Raymond, a Republican, was also a bona fide friend of Abe Lincoln. It was probably through his White House connections that Raymond was able in 1863 to obtain a supply of rifles and three Gatling guns from the War Department in Washington. He distributed the weapons to the Times’ staff as anti-draft rioting roiled lower Manhattan in the vicinity of the paper’s offices, directly east of City Hall. Times employees were never challenged to make good on Raymond’s orders to fire, if necessary. Raymond also tried to make a mark as a war correspon dent. He covered the First Battle of Bull Run, but initially got the outcome wrong, reporting it as a Union victory. The bon vivant met a scandalous end in 1869 at age

Jones’ probity was such that he spurned a $5 million bribe — serious money at the time — to snuff the Times’ investigation of Tweed’s thievery. The paper fell into economic decline, however, after Jones switched his own — and the Times’— allegiance from the Republican Party prior to the election of 1884. Advertisers and subscribers deserted the paper, leaving it in near-terminal condition at the time of Jones’ death. It was then purchased, at the bargain price of $75,000, by Adolph Ochs, patriarch of the family dynasty that has steered the Times to its current eminence and still con trols it. The New York Times Company today reports annual revenues of $3.5 billion. It owns The Boston Globe and 15 other newspapers around the country as well as eight network-affiliated television stations and two New York City radio stations. Fortune magazine ranked the Times Co. this year as the most-admired publishing enterprise in the United States. During the past 50 years, the Times has won 88 Pulitzer Prizes — far more than any other American newspaper. Its excellence and its inadequacies are displayed to the world 365 days a yean The paper sells more than one mil lion copies on weekdays and close to two million on Sundays. Too bad Raymond and Jones didn’t decide to set up shop in Burlington.®

Best Laid P la n s ... An e-m ail exchange with a World Trade Center architect B y M arc A wodey y father helped build the World Trade Center. The contract went to the architectural firm of Minoru Yamasaki and Associates, where my father worked in the 1960s. He now works with a firm in Florida. Below is an e-mail I sent him late last week, and his reply. As noted, I was writing to let him think about some questions for an article about 9/11. After reading and rereading our cor respondence, I decided the story was written.

D e a r

D a d ,

I am writing to let you know about an article I have been invited to submit to the paper I write art reviews for. Especially here in the Northeast, everyone knows someone who was directly affected by Tuesday. One friend of mine lost three people he knew — two in one of the planes from Boston, and one on the ground. When people ask if 1 and my family are OK, I say, “We were affected in a unique way — my Dad is one of the architects who designed the World Trade Center. I remember seeing the models as a kid. I sort of grew up with the Trade Center.” Everyone who worked on the World Trade Center is probably having the same feelings right now — the pipe fitters, electricians, suppliers, engineers and architects. Many thousands participated in the great achievement that was the World Trade Center. Yo,u were in an elite group, and though yoti must have been one of the junior architects, I am sure your professional investment was as great as any other. On Tuesday you saw the building fail. I cannot imagine how that could have been for you. No one at Yama’s office could have conceived of the inconceivable. But the failure happened. Survivors have said that the impacts of each jet were felt, but the buildings just gently swayed. Even then failure seemed impossible. But, as you said when I called on Tuesday night, “At 1200 degrees steel starts to buckle. We didn’t consider that amount of jet fuel.” You also made an interesting comment that I would like to know more about: “Thank God the stairs worked.” On the CBC, a Canadian survivor described how amazed he was that he could descend from an extreme upper floor, down the stairs beyond the burning floors because he was shielded in the stairwell. Horribly, he was the only one in his office to go down instead of up. Also on TV, a fireman sitting in rubble, hot and dirty, said, “The architects who designed this building should be very proud. There is a lot of void space in the plan. If any one could have survived, we will find them.” So, I am going to interview you... but maybe you can send me a few thoughts in advance. Tell me what went right with the buildings. What was the team like that designed the Trade Center? I’ll also want to ask — why not the jet fuel? Was it hubris? The same question can be asked of all America. In 1969 we put two men on the moon. We had eradicated smallpox, completed the interstate highway system. We had earned the monumentality of the Trade Center. Has any building complex before or since used that much steel? How long did the architects think these towers would last? Much love, Marc >>

grabbed my face, I choked, I became very emotional. I was speechless in disbelief. I was embar rassed. I left the room. I had been watching a large TV in the east conference room of our office with my colleagues. As if anyone was listening, I was quite vocally mumbling things like “they’ve hit it in the third zone above the 78th floor,” “It was designed for the impact of a large passenger plane,” “It will not fall”... Although the room was filled with engineers and architects, nobody really heard me. No one really cared or understood what I was talking about. 7 ig s: • Watching the explosion of the South Tower due to its floors col lapsing was like getting a stake in my heart. Not since we lost your brother Scot in ’92 did I have this feeling. The gasp in the room was very loud. I choked. I left. I called Pene and told her to come get me — I cannot stay here. I’ll just walk home. She counseled me to calm down, stay there. I went back into the conference room. Left the room again, came back, and did the same for much of the day. That day, that morning, a reflection, a memory image occurred that flashed me back to 1963 in what we at MYA called “the New York Room.” Your moth er had called to say Kennedy has been shot. I told Yama. Yama came into the room saying, “the President has been shot, get a TV in here.” Colleagues and I watched the aftermath of a horrible, historyaltering event. We were in the pres ence of a 10-foot tall architectural model of the World Trade Center complex. It was in the process of being studied, as the' tallest build ings in the world. As designers we were very inter ested in how it would work, how it would macroscopically enhance New York and its skyline. How it would enhance life at work, at shopping, at relaxing, at play. We weren’t terribly impressed with the fact that it would also be the largest construction project in history. We just wanted it to work, to work right, to last forever, and for it to be beautiful. The “New York Team,” includ ing Yama, Aaron Schrier, Kip Serota, Dick Knight, Frank Arens, Jerry Karns, Violetta Dumlao, Gunnar Gruzdins, Sewa Barmi and myself, watched Dallas in horror. Among others watching were Bill Ku, Yama’s chief designer. He had hired me as a designer in September 1963. We were all some where under 40. I was 29 then. Mike Pudist and Henry Guthard were there as well, and still at MYA. I hope at least six to eight of us are still around. When we were designing the Project we were quite aware of the B-25 that had cracked into the Empire State Building during World War II. O f consequence, the towers were designed to accommodate the impact of a large jet passenger plane — this was pre-747. However we had no knowledge of the types of fuels and planes that would be used in this day and age. In those early days, the towers

L u th e r K in g

continued from page 11a

were considered to be the tallest at 1350 feet. The clients wanted them to be 100 feet taller than Empire State Building. Ultimately the Trade Center towers finished out at 1368 feet and 1362 feet. The dif ference was due to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (the clients) executive offices. Those were located around the 89th and 90th floors of the South Tower, and had to have 10-foot ceiling heights, as opposed to the 8foot, 8-inch ceiling height in the balance of the towers. Seattle-based structural engi neers Worthington, Skilling, Helle and Jackson designed the structural system of the Trade Center towers. Yama wanted the towers to be as tall, as slender and as graceful as possible. His very close friend, structural engineer John Skilling, came up with a system that made the request possible. Each tower was a tube within a tube. The outer “tube” was a square of 208 feet on each side. The inner “tube” was the tower’s core. It contained elevators, exit stairs, toilets and the building’s mechanical and electrical services. These services were all shafts run ning through the building core, rated to what we call a “4hr fire rat ing.” They were intended to with stand a raging fire for up to four hours. Apparently the shattering and exploding airplanes damaged cladding and fireproofing to the point where Tower 1 stood for one hour, and Tower 2 for 1 3/4 hours before failing. Fortunately and thankfully, the fireproofed shafts, and the core-located stairs, none of which were located within the open office areas, allowed many to exit past the flaming and failing office levels. The core was a rectangle of approximately 90 feet by 150 feet. The truss-supported floors spanned column-free from the inner core to the exterior wall. The exterior wall was a bearing wall, with columns occurring every 3 feet, 4 inches on center — approx imately shoulder width. This allowed room for viewer hand sup port, to give a feeling of ease and security while looking at the world from hundreds of feet and many stories above the street. The Tower’s exterior 3-foot, 4inch-spaced columns become 10 feet between the seventh and ninth levels. This allowed for large glass areas through which the gleaming, 90-foot-high-ceilinged lobby could be viewed from both plaza and Concourse levels. The lobbies were entered through neatly fitted, bright, mirror-finished stainless steel revolving doors. At ground level each tower had approximately the same footprint dimension as the Sears Tower in Chicago. The Sears Tower was 100 feet taller when it was completed, and it contains 102 floors — eight less than the Trade Center. We didn’t realize we were at the tip of a very large iceberg. Since 1963, thousands of persons went on to build the World Trade Center. Tens of thousands worked there daily. Millions have visited. When Pene called that morning to say that the top of one of the Trade Center Towers was in flames, I was struck dumbfounded. Love, D ad®

Millions of people around the world have been held hostage to the policy of nuclear brinkmanship, or mutual assured destruction. The definition of warfare has expanded, along with its destructive potential. Little wonder, then, that many people are now calling for a war like response. How frustrating to have the world’s largest and best-

Reason tells

he attacks on the twin towers and Pentagon have been con demned as acts of war and likened to the assault on Pearl Harbor. But this, at least in my opinion, is to give these crimes and their perpetrators more dignity than they deserve. In war, there is at least a theoretical distinction drawn between civilians and combatants. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, however reprehensible the deed, there was at least a recognizable chain of legal accountability leading up to those who made the fateful decision. And as if in deference to the established rules of “civilized war fare,” political leaders around the world — especially the Arab world — voiced almost universal condem nation of the barbarism in Washington and New York. Whoever carried out these attacks should be punished for their crimes. If the culprits and conspirators can be identified, they should be appre hended and quickly brought to jus tice. But whoever they were, the ter rorists were more like a gang of thugs than like an army at war. They were answerable to no legiti mate authority. They deliberately aimed at innocent civilians. And it’s hard to discern any strategic goal behind their actions. Unfortunately, the understanding of what war is has become blurred over the last century. Covert actions and undercover operations, official secrecy and cloak-and-dagger have become the stock-in-trade of inter national relations. The separation between military and civilian targets

And polls over the past few days show most of the American public ready to inflict revenge, even if innocent people are killed in the process. But this would be to sink to the moral level of the very people responsible for last week’s death and der ruction. Taking revenge on the innocent — to blame any nation or race or religion for the actions of a few twisted souls — would be like organizing a lynch mob and hanging whoever hap pened to be handiest for James’ murder out in Oakland. The man who shot him needs to be behind bars, but obviously taking vengeance on the innocent could only compound the crime. And even the individual who is guilty deserves some basic con sideration. A few days ago, I talked with Sharon on the phone and she expressed concern and compassion for the man who killed James. He couldn’t have been a very happy person, she remarked. Some essential part of his humanity must have been stunted and brutalized early on, enabling him to carry out such a vicious deed and preventing him from feeling close or connected to other people. Who knows what inward demons can drive one man to kill another, or what

desperation induces one to become a suicide bomber? But if a mother can express any degree of sympathy or forgiveness for the man who killed her son, then we can surely resist the spirit of retribution that now threatens to engulf us and draw our world into a war, where indiscriminate violence becomes a daily feature rather than a special report on the TV news. Surely we too can put this tragedy into context and recog nize that the real enemies are all the forces that strip people of their dignity and humanity. The

also where our safety now lies, not in lashing out in anger, not in further isolating ourselves from the family of nations, not in even greater obsession with national security or the abroga tion of civil liberties. Perhaps we need to recall the words of Abraham Lincoln, a man who knew intimately the meaning of war and the costs of war, and who asked: “W hat constitutes the bul wark of our liberty and inde pendence? It is not our frowning battlements, our bristling seacoasts, our army and navy. Our

There is irony in this talk of war. In Korea, we went to war but were careful to call that a police action. In Vietnam, we again went to war and again euphemistically called it a police action. W hat we need now is something like a gen-

a persistent part of our experi ence. It undermines our sense of personal safety. We can take pre ventive measures, but will proba bly never be able to eliminate it entirely. Yet crime, while ugly and vicious, does not have the power to topple our government or overthrow the institutions that support our democratic way of life. Only one thing has the power to do that — namely, war itself.

ontemplating the events of last week, everyone agrees: “There are no words.” It’s a lie; there are noth ing but words. Try these: From the Hebrew Bible: “Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron. Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.” From the Christian Bible: “In flaming fire [take] vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.” From the Koran: “The righteous shall surely dwell in bliss. But the wicked shall burn in Hell-fire upon the Judgement-day: they shall not escape.” From Lauren Kelly, age 5, outside the American embassy in Dublin and quoted in The New York Ti?nes: “Mommy, why are there millions of flowers?” From President George W. Bush: “We’re at war. Those who make war on the United States have chosen their own destruction.” I call my father’s family in Virginia — not “suburban Washington,” but Fredericksburg, deep in rebel, redneck country. Nothing but Civil War graves, monuments and battlefields down there. It’s another lie of the last week -— that this country has never known war on its own shores, never known such terrible loss of life. Never mind all the handguns: 20,000 people shot to death every year and the pundits talk as if we lived in Candyland. ' In 1984 my father married a Moroccan woman. They have two daugh ters, my half-sisters, and all four are prac ticing Muslims. Miriam, the youngest, age

11, answers the phone. “Are you okay?” I ask. “Oh, sure,” she says. She’s very sophis ticated, an American girl. I ask to speak to her sister, age 15. “Are you okay, Sarae?” “Oh, sure. W ell...” She hesitates. “Have they been giving you trouble — have you had troubleT I can’t even say it, because I can’t believe it needs to be said. How is it that I have to ask a 15-year-old girl, as American as I am, if she’s in danger because of her religion? I ask to speak to her mother, ma belle petite mere, as I’ve always called her. When my father and Najat were first “courting” in Morocco, I came over from Spain to act as interpreter. At that time Najat spoke only Arabic and French, and my father is originally from Texas. Like most Americans, he thinks if he speaks English louder people will understand what he’s saying. “Are you okay?” I ask for the third time. My father’s out of town and Najat, at first, is very reserved. “We don’t wear the veil,” she reminds me. “Yes,” I say, “you can pass as Hispanic.” It’s an old joke between us: W hen she first came to this country they lived in El Paso, and she had no end of trouble over her “papers” — were they legitimate, was she a wetback? As we talk, she warms: Her father is ill in Morocco. Parkinson’s. They’ve been trying to get him over here for treatment, but he can’t get a visa. She’s angry now, telling me this: “Boys with bombs can come over anytime, learn to fly, blow up planes...” I once heard her call the king of Morocco “a stu pid old man.” But I’ve never heard her

talk that way about her God. My father gets home the next day and sends an e-mail: “Najat told me of your phone call; she was very elated by it. I attended Friday prayers in our mosque today with no problems. We will be pro ceeding ‘with caution’ for the foreseeable future.”

It needs to be prosecuted as such. The men behind the men who rained havoc on New York and Washington need to be called to account. The heavens need to fall on their heads. They need to bleed. Not next month. Not next week. Now. Who are they? Who cares? Cast a wide enough net, and you’ll catch the fish that need catching.”

Make no mistake about it, as Dubya says — words are the one thing we’ve got plenty of: From Ann Coulter, TV talking head: “We know who the homicidal maniacs are... We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity.”

A friend writes from New York, a dancer: “We are here and coping — doing a little this and a little that to stay busy. Sometimes I can work with focus, other times I am aimless. I keep having moments of weeping and fear. Is this how terrorism eats away at people?

How is it that I have to ask a

From Jerry Falwell: “I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Way — all of them who have tried to, secularize America — I point the finger in their face and say, ‘You helped this happen.’” From The New York Post: “This is war.

“The days are actually harder now. Everyone is on edge. We are ushered in and out of buildings, people snap at each other then immediately apologize. In each face I look at I wonder who close to them has died? The truth is that Hospitals and Opera Houses are the same — healing wounds and giving spiritual nourishment — bandages of the spirit and the flesh.” I hope she’s right. I pray she is. @

to meet everyone else. It’s really a hothouse atmosphere. You can be standing in line behind Clint Eastwood or having lunch next to Jodie Foster.” And the 40 or so motion pic tures, both new independents and older work that is screened as part of a retrospective, tend to be top-drawer. About 25 percent of the schedule is picked up each spring at the Cannes Interna tional Film Festival, the world’s leading cinematic event on the French Riviera. In addition, Pence maintains relationships with individual directors, pro ducers and performers who are likely to choose Telluride to spot light their latest projects. He’s

proud to have hosted numerous world premieres, such as Neil Jordan’s The Crying Game nine years ago, and Billy Bob Thornton’s Sling Blade in 1996. “We can be very selective, tak ing only what we feel meets the standards of excellence,” he points out. “We don’t compromise.” W hen Pence says “we,” he’s including his wife, Stella, and whoever happens to be the “guest director” of the festival that year. Telluride has recruited such diverse people as musician Laurie Anderson or French director Bertrand Tavernier to help choose the films. This year, it was Satanic Verses author and fatwah designee Salman Rushdie.

Telluride at Dartmouth Friday, Septem ber 21

The festival has a reputation for integrity. Boston Globe critic Jay Carr has written that Telluride is “devoid of the usual deal making fever, resisting buzz in favor of discovery. It’s a movie purist’s delight.” native of Minnesota, Pence discovered Film in 1958, on the heels of Italian neo realism, in the heyday of the French New Wave and just as Satyajit Ray was releasing his wrenching, painterly portraits of life in India; Although a com plete novice, Pence somehow started running the schools Film society while a student at Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh. It was a revelation for him. “When I saw Harold Lloyds The Freshman, I realized that movies need not be brand-new to be great,” he recalls. “I was learn ing on the job. Before then, I had no idea who Eisenstein or Kurosawa were.” After graduation in 1961, Pence became an itinerant entrer preneur by launching his own company, Film Arts Enterprises. “I would rent a print for a month and take it through Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia. I estab lished a circuit of towns that was quite successful because I got things that local exhibitors would

Show and Telluride continued from page 13While an officer stationed for two years at NORAD headquar ters in Colorado Springs — before a one-year stint in Paris — he started a small Denver arthouse theater called The Flick. But after leaving the military in 1967, Pence wound up in New York City, thanks to a job offer from a distribution company, Janus Films. “I helped build their library into a living archive of great classics,” he explains. “We got Bergman, Truffaut, Fellini, Orson Welles.” After 10 years, Pence told his partners he was sick of New York and wanted to move to Denver. Over the next decade, he set up 14 theaters in Western resort

audiences at Toronto and New York are 90 percent local. Twothirds of our people come from all over the country, even though it’s a hard place to get to.” Telluride runs no ads, . depending instead on word of mouth. This year, capacity grew by 35 percent with the addition of a new 500-seat theater, The Galaxy. The festival’s seven other venues include school gymnasiums, a park and a meet ing hall. In the early 1980s, Pence expanded his reach by organizing an additional festival in Santa Fe, New Mexico. “I hoped to create something similar to Telluride, but Santa Fe stayed local and only lasted four years. Also, peo ple there paid too much atten tion to the celebrities.”

he idea for creating a festi val in Colorado can be credited to Jim Card, a curator at the Eastman House in Rochester, New York. “In the spring of 1974, he brought two obscure silent films to play in Aspen and Telluride, where we had a full house. There was noth ing else to do there,” Pence says. “We thought it would only be a one-time event, but then Jim Luddy got involved. He was then director of Pacific Film Archives in Berkeley and the leading world-cinema expert. Jim Card was the expert in silents, until he retired after three or four years. I became the business person in between them.” The first festival had a budget of $8400 and sold 250 tickets. These days, Telluride works with a $2.25 million budget, sells 1200 passes and attracts more than 3000 people. “That’s very small by festival standards,” Pence points out. “Sundance gets 30,000, Cannes 50,000.

By the autumn of 1983, the Pences wanted a change. “By then, our two kids were out of college. We liked New England and Dartmouth offered me a position,” he explains. More recently, the couple moved even further east — to the coastal town of Portsmouth, New Hampshire. “We’re closer to Boston, where there’s more film activity, and we have a great affection for the sea.” Pence programs between 225 and 250 films a year in the Loew^ Auditorium, located below the Hood Museum of Art, and in Spaulding Auditorium at the Hopkins Center. About 16 years ago, he added the best of Telluride to the mix. “It always sells out,” he says. “Like our fes tival audiences, people here love seeing new, still-unreleased work that comes without the weight of garbage that normally travels with it.” *The era of garbage is abhor rent to Pence, who cherishes memories of the time when a new Fellini, Kurosawa or Bergman would entice people to line up around the block at movie theaters. “In the 1960s and ’70s, there were so many more great films. There were masters then. Where are the mas ters today? Maybe I’m a little dis couraged,” he acknowledges, before adding, “but I’m always upbeat.” ®

towns, places such as Sun Valley, '■ Park City, Crested Butte and Vail. He and Stella — married since 1970 — decided to relocate to Telluride, where they restored an old opera house that had been used as a miners’ dance hall. “It had cracked linoleum floors, but we could see the place had once been a jewel,” Pence says. “We ran our theaters, and I still worked for Janus while living in a ranch about an hour outside town, where we rode horses. I think we were pioneers in choos ing that lifestyle.”

This would be my response if I were President: “I am, as I’m sure all of you are, heartsick from the events that have just taken place — the loss, the destruction, the mighty desperation and hatred that must have driven our attackers to act. And I offer my sympathy, my prayers and all the resources and my disposal to aid in the rescue efforts, the healing and the rebuilding that needs to take place both now and for many weeks and years to come. “It is probably also expected that I will apply all the political, technological and military resources at my disposal to uncover exactly who is responsi ble for these events, and deliver unto them a mighty blow. Smite them with the force of my right eous wrath. It is probably expect ed that I will declare all-out war on terrorism, and seek to expose and destroy all the terrorists who threaten the world. “But I have been thinking... you cannot fight a conventional war with a borderless enemy. Witness our failure in Vietnam. Witness the war on drugs. The war on poverty. It is also the case that responding to violence with violence leads to more violence and an escalation of violence. Given the extent of this latest event, it seems that kind of esca lation could be exponential, and that it is expected, and perhaps desired, by those who attacked us. “Note that I said latest event, and not inciting event. This is not the first act of terrorism against us, nor is it a first response to something we have done. This was an eleventh hour act of desperation. “And I tell you, while we Americans are good at a great many things, two things we do v not do well are: 1) take responsi bility for our mistakes and fail ures, and 2) act in the spirit of

wisdom, compassion and loving kindness. Because those are the behaviors of true maturity, aind we are still a young nation — with a young nations sense of invincibility and immortality — not to mention infallibility. Or, rather, we were. We cannot afford that youthful, callous pos¥ turing anymore. “Because while we have given many wonderful things to the world, we have, in many instances, behaved quite badly. We have been noble and greedy, generous and selfish, creative and destructive, and the ability to see, acknowledge and own our con tradictory nature is also a mark of true maturity, and one we must now embrace. “Physics tells us that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. And Tuesday s destruction was a reaction to something — some string of vio lence and injustice for which we are at least partially responsible. Call it physics, call it karma — we are active participants in this cycle of violence. “Maturity means honesty. Maturity means humility. Maturity means apologizing and making amends for our mistakes. It does not mean capitulation, or surrender or approval — let me make that clear. But it means that when we strike back, we do not use more violence, inflict more pain, cause more suffering. We strike back with compassion and a willingness to understand where our responsibility lies. We will do our best to find those responsible, and we will do our best to bring them to justice — because what they did was wrong. “However, we will also be wise enough to take them as our teachers, and learn what has gone wrong. Because clearly, some thing has. When too many peo ple live in unrelenting poverty and neglect and oppression for too long, their despair leads to desperation. The violence against us was an act of desperation and we need to be humble enough to find out why and change the despair to joy. “That is not an easy task. But we have three of the greatest tools at our disposal — tools of which there is an infinite supply: faith, hope and love. And we will use them liberally. We will wage a mighty peace... Our world is too small and far too precious to do otherwise. “There will be time, soon, to talk about the details of responsi bility, but for now, I leave you for now with this: Help each other. Find all the love you can in your heart and use it to help each other. Yes, there is anger and shock and despair. Accept it and treat it with patience and love. Balance it with honesty and compassion. And do your best. That’s all any of us can ask. Do your best. Bless you all.” — Kathryn Blume Charlotte

Myles isn’t an academic; she doesn’t have an MFA or an offi he last time poet Eileen cial university appointment. She’s Myles was in Burlington, not quite a Beat poet, not quite a member of the New York School she had just finished run ning for president. It was 1992,in the tradition of Frank O ’Hara. And she’s not a “slam poet,” after the election, after her 28though she’s reading at Burling state campaign. She performed at ton’s Rhombus Gallery this the Flynn Theatre with the Blue Friday as part of the Burlington Man Group and other artists, together for a “field trip” from Poetry Slam’s fall line-up. Poetry slams are Olympic-style competi New York City performance tions in which poets receive space PS 122. Fifty-one-year-old Myles speaks of her campaign scores and win prizes for their efforts. with the unflagging enthusiasm Myles has long been associat of someone who has discovered a new medium through which to ed with the St. Mark’s Poetry Project in New York, but that communicate an essential mes affiliation is shared by a long list sage. “Running for president gave of diverse talents — Ginsberg, me the opportunity to speak out Patti Smith, Robert Lowell and side my territory as a poet,” she Kathy Acker, to name a few. says over the phone from her Though Myles’ versatility has East Village apartment. In fact, Myles’ career as a poet is remark able in part because she’s an intrepid adventurer, eager to explore unfamiliar territory, to challenge the expectations of her audience. Her poetic career began when she moved to New York from Boston in the early 1970s. She arrived in time to befriend Beat poet and icon Allen Ginsberg and James Schuyler, a New York School poet. Myles gave her first reading in 1974 at CBGB’s, the legendary punk club known for launching The Ramones, among others. As prolific as she is bold, Myles has made her mark pursu kept her from being claimed and promoted by any particular ing a wide variety of literary group, her insistence on main endeavors. These include seven collections of poems, a collection taining her individuality has also of short fiction and a non-fiction kept her from becoming stagnant or irrelevant. Her new work is novel. And she’s a performer — dynamic and vital. Her latest for 20 years she’s traveled around the country reading her work. In book is a non-fiction novel, Cool 1997, she toured with Sister Spit, For You — an account of growing a rowdy San Francisco-based gag up female in the marginal world gle of writer grrrls who celebrate of working-class Boston. The Myles as their irreverent inspira main character, also named tion. So why is she still an under Eileen Myles, follows roughly the same trajectory as the author — ground literary figure? through Catholicism, the death Eileen Myles simply can’t be of her father, a series of truly odd contained by any one poetic jobs in various institutional set school or movement. She crosses tings. Framed around Myles’ boundaries. W hen asked where search for her grandmother’s she fits in the poetic scheme of medical records, the non-linear things, she relates an analogy narrative weaves in and out of about women’s’ basketball. nursing homes, mental institu “There used to be different tions, Catholic schools and seedy rules,” she says. “There used to hotel rooms. be a position called the ‘rover,’ Myles is direct and unflinch and you were the only one who could move around. T hat’s me.” ing when dealing with the dark

ness in the lives she chronicles — particularly in reference to her grandmother, Nellie Riordan Myles, to whom the novel is ded icated. An Irish immigrant who raised seven children before being institutionalized, Nellie Riordan Myles, was “a worker and a breeder,” we are told. “She was cleaning houses all those years. Between immigration and mar riage. And of course during.” Eileen Myles wants to know why her grandmother was sent to the Westborogh State Hospital, but she finds a paltry amount of information about her case, most of it concerning vital statistics rather than personality. “There are lots of strange things in her records,” Myles writes. “A million lapses and pauses like poetry... The feeling is edited away by the

state. I see the tiny ellipses and I just feel numb.” Her informal conversational style has earned Myles a reputa tion as an accessible yet nuanced poet. She invokes that poetic license in Cool for You, abandon ing proper sentence structure and extraneous punctuation, such as quotation marks, in favor of an irreverant intimacy and immedia cy. She expresses outrage, too, realizing that her grandmother has been marginalized as a result of her gender and poverty. “You’re supposed to look at all these absences and feel com plete,” she writes. “You’re sup posed to look at these records like my mother and say, Oh Eileen, there were just so many. Bodies? Women?” The main character experi ences similar frustrations in her own life. Until she is 4, she lives in a room where “There was

An excerpt from Cool For You December 8th was Mary’s feast. I was born on the 9th, the day after. I bumped into her statue and chipped it and then I had to live with that for a couple of years. It made me feel sick every time we took the landing, which was several times a day. Always God, the whole story hanging over our world like a parrot. We were always having to commemorate, to color things in. Holy things. You’d be doing math, a piece of old newsprint with blue equations, and when you finished you could color in Mary. I shot through my m ath... this is maybe second grade, and I had a very large box of Crayolas, perfect for the job, and I colored her robes in white, which was correct, and then I did each tiny bead on her outfit in gold. It looked really good, in fact I was embar rassed. Good on good. So I wrote in little tiny letters at the top of the paper, “Pretty good, huh, teach?” I was pretending to be a public school kid. I passed it in and then I felt really sick. Next day the paper came back with a demand that I show it to my mother. You did such a beautiful job with your coloring and then you write something like this. And not even Sister. Show this to your family. Sure. W hat I did was scribble over my comments. Leaving hers and a big patch of scribbling. Then I showed my mother and told her that when a girl in front of me saw how pretty I colored Mary, she scribbled on mypaper. But I didn’t want to turn her in. So I got in trouble. My mother seemed a little confused, but she could see that I was good. She wasn’t paying attention at all. She signed it dutifully. It was like everyone, nuns, parents, was a routing clerk, checking our little lives off as we sailed by on something, a huge cloud that was bigger than everyone. I brought the paper into class and told the nun that my mother was disgusted by what I wrote and that’s why she scribbled on it. The nun seemed to have forgotten what I was talking about. She was going through menopause, there were seventy kids in the class that year and I was just one of them. I figured I was magic. — Eileen Myles

always light. I was a flower that sipped on light.” But after her sister is born, she has to share a room, as her brother occupies what once was hers. “He was having his perfect boy world where I had my baby world, and now I’m across the hall in the dark with my sister.” Later, she works for a time at the Harvard Coop, where she steals expensive candy and resents her more privileged co-workers. She lands a job at the Fernald School, a home for developmentally disabled young men. While cleaning their bathroom, she asks, “For this I was born? For this I came into the world?” Cool For You is divided into three sections, and these are -

divided into even smaller sec tions. The narrative is broken up in the latter so that the para graphs, interdependent or not, stand on. their own. Each para graph is like one of the thou sands o f tiny dots on a Seurat painting; when you put them all together, you get the picture. It’s a stunning, highly poetic effect. The picture, in this case, underscores Myles’ sense o f alien ation; in the world of contempo rary literature, she’s essentially an insider without an institution. If Myles feels a strong artistic kin ship with anyone lately, it’s with the girls — and boys — from the Sister Spit generation. This group

Myles to Go

ere in Vermont, Myles’ biggest fans can be found among the ranks of the former Poet’s Mimeo Cooperative, an independent writing and publishing collective that had its heyday in the ’70s and ’80s. Several years ago, Bud Lawrence, a local poet and for mer Poet’s Mimeo member, cele brated Myles’ poetry by reading her work as the centerpiece of an open reading. Anna Blackmer, former Poet’s Mimeo poet and now a teacher at Burlington College, organized Myles’ upcoming Burlington appearance in her capacity as lit erary series coordinator at Rhombus. “I love her because she breaks all the rules,” says Blackmer. “She shatters stereo types about poetry, about women, about class, about what you can and can’t do. I also think that one of the reasons I wanted to bring her here is because her work creates a bridge between younger people and older people. I think she does that without los ing an ounce of integrity. She just keeps changing.” Myles will be reading from Cool For You and from a new book of poems, entitled Skies, which will be published this fall by Black Sparrow Press. A second new literary project currently occupying Myles’ attention is another non-fiction novel :— sort of a Cool For You sequel. “My young-writer story,” she offers. In the meantime, she’s curat ing a series for Hall Walls, an art

continued from page 23a of young queer writers has embraced her work in a way that the lesbian-feminist culture of the ’70s and '80s did not. As a poet, Myles has always been very open about her lesbian identity, but she’s more connect ed to St. Mark’s and its straight, male, urban influence than to most of the more ideologically centered feminist academic com munities. In a piece in The Village Voice, Myles writes, “There’s a teeming society of women who identify the post punk third wave of feminism as the beat we re listening to, because, unlike the taboo-laden feminism of my youth, the new lesbian mise-en-scene is a fierce, wildly infectious and inclusive cultural force.” Myles admits that Michelle Tea’s phone call asking her to perform with Sister Spit came at an important moment in her career. Getting older, she says, was difficult because “the youth thing as it impacts on a female life is so severe.” “For example,” she says, “I've always thought that Eileen equals good eyesight. But then you hit 40, and everybody has to get glasses, you can’t see. And it’s likeTOh, I’m not Peter Pan.’ During those years, between 40 and 50, there were many little blows, and then I started under standing they’re not blows, theyre condi tions. And while this is happening to you, the world is smiling at young women. j “It felt like * there were 10 1 years there when I was getting the message at a sub tle but constant level that the cul ture wanted me to go away,” Myles continues. “And then, just when I needed it, * the younger gen- ^ eration started reading me. The younger genera tion kind of j helped me sur vive. I thought, ^ I’m not a cute young girl, but I don’t have to be. The cute young girls are reading me.” But it’s not just the cute young girls who have discovered Myles’ work; both Cool For You and her earlier prose effort, Chelsea Girls, were reviewed in The New York Times. “Myles has an exquisite sense of the border line, where people hide or are transformed according to luck and will,” the Times wrote of Cool For You. Art Forum critic Dennis Cooper noted Myles “has one of the sawiest voices and most restless intellects in contem porary lit — honest, joky, para noid, sentimental, mean, lyrical, tough, you name it.”

Electronic Etiquette What you — and Gary Condit — need to know about surviving media scrutiny ne thing lost in the crum bling of the World Trade Center Towers last week was the country’s interest in Gary Condit. The California congress man has been in the national spotlight since early May, demonstrating a glaring lack of media savvy. His dubious per formance underscores the fact that a tacit code of conduct applies to high-profile personali ties linked to unsavory acts. It’s an electronic etiquette of media do’s and don’ts that have been understood by virtually everyone in this culture since the O .JT Simpson case. When I watched C ondit’s bizarre behavior on ABCs “Prime

Time Live,” I suspected he might simply be refusing to play by 7 these well-known rules. It wasn’t until I listened to his son Chad speak with Larry King four days later that I realized Condit maybe didn’t know them. When King suggested it might have been wise for Chad’s father to be more forthcoming about his relationship with the missing Chandra Levy, the Congressman’s oldest child fumed, “Well, if that’s where we’re at in American history — I have to come here and talk to you, that1the media needs to bd involved in every part of our life if they want to be, when they want to be — then maybe we

ought to, you know, analyze where we’re at.” Duh. It’s too late for scary Gary now, of course. Innocent or guilty, he’s made himself look like a sleazebag and a psycho. And, of course, the country’s focus is elsewhere — at least temporarily. But it occurred to me, as I watched him crash and burn, that perhaps these do’s and don’ts are not yet quite as univer sally understood as I previously believed. So, as a public service, I herewith spell them out once and for all. Hey, you never know when you might find yourself the tar get of media circus-style scrutiny.

1. Spill Your Guts to the Media at Top Speed I don’t care if it’s your local public-access channel or the near est college radio station. The minute people say you may have done something stinky, tell some one, anyone, in the press every thing you know. If history has taught us anything, it’s that stonewalling only makes you look guiltier. “I have never had sexual relations with that woman” didn’t exactly make the whole Monica Lewinsky matter go away, did it? And no affidavits asking people to fib for you. The last thing you want is the appearance of a coverup and the paper trail to prove it. Whatever you have to say, it’s

going to sound loads better com ing from you than from Geraldo. 2. Apologize In the age of Oprah, nothing succeeds like excess followed by a theatrical expression of regret. Drug fiend, drunk, wife beater, philanderer? Getting caught need n’t mean a loss of public approval. Proper groveling and reflection on the appropriate talk of news mag azine show, in fact, can leave a public figure better known and more beloved than ever. Take Danny Bonaduce. Please. The public loves contrition. If Bill Clinton had ’fessed up and sought forgiveness right out of the gate, he’d probably never have

been impeached and forced to leave office. OK, bad example. But you get the idea.

both ways, and you don’t get credit for passing do-it-yourself polygraph tests.

3. Show Emotion Facing the camera and com ing clean are not by themselves enough. It’s amazing how many bright, ultra-successful people fail to realize that. If you want the American public to believe you’re sorry for what you’ve done, or feel pity about some tragedy that’s happened in your life, you can’t just mouth words blankly like a sociopath reading off a cue card. You’ve got to show some sign of human emotion. It didn’t help Condit’s cause, for example, that so much time passed following Levy’s disappear ance before it occurred to him to mention that, oh, yeah, he’s wor ried and misses her greatly.

5. Don’t Parse Words Most Americans probably had never even heard the word “parse.” before the former President start ed playing that whole “it depends on what the definition of ‘is’ is” tournament of verbal dodgeball. Because fellatio isn’t actually sex, he supposedly wasn’t lying when he denied having sexual relations with Lewinsky. Oh, really? Hugh Grant will be thrilled to hear that, given his arrest for paying a woman to perform it on him. Grant’s a damn good public apol ogizes by the way. Clinton and Condit could’ve taken a lesson from him. It’s been a while since, any one’s played quite as Olympian a series of word games as Clinton’s, but Condit and crew have come close this past summer. Admit ting his affair with Levy only after police interviewed him three times was OK because, until then, officers had never come right out and asked him about the possibility. He’s got a million o f ’em. “O ut of a specific request by the Levy fam ily...” — that was a hot one. My favorite, though, came right after the Connie Chung interview, during which the Congressman denied he’d had a yearlong relationship with United Airlines flight attendant Anne Marie Smith, as she publicly has claimed. In a fit of apparent Clinton-era nostalgia, Condit attorney Abbe Lowell actually went on the air to “clarify” his client’s denial and offered that Smith “may have considered her

4. Don’t Play Games With the Police O.J. wasn’t sure how he got all those cuts on his hand. The Ramseys couldn’t quite find the time to drop by the station to help with the investigation into their daughter’s murder. Condit invites authorities to search his Washington apartment, but not until after he’s had time to have a battalion of Merry Maids sterilize the place and date two of them. The 53-year-old politician was interviewed three times by D.C. police before admitting to his affair with the 24-year-old former intern. Now his whole PR posture is that he’s cooperated with authorities from day one like a good citizen, but just didn’t believe it “gentlemanly” to blab the private details of his sex life to the media. You can’t have it

dealings with Congressman Condit to be a ‘relationship.’ W hat Congressman Condit was trying to say was that, whatever their dealings were, whatever they shared... it wasn’t a relationship. With friends like this guy, who needs political enemies? 6. Don’t Lie About People in Your Past. They Can Go on TV, Too This pretty much speaks for itself. As did all those women who came out of the woodwork to

disappears from your life and .your goal is to deflect suspicion, behave as though you actually liked having them around. 8. Keep the Bizzaro Behavior to a Minimum Got the white-hot spotlight of a media frenzy focused on you? Not the best time to pull a Norman Bates. You had to won der about John Ramsey taking a break the morning he found the body of his slain daughter to col lect and then sit and flip through

gety and evasive? He lost his Capitol Hill support essentially on the basis of that strange perfor mance. W hat did he think he was there to do — offer dating tips? 10. If You’re Going to Find the Real Killer, Mention It Sooner Rather Than Later It was the gruesome punchline to the joke that was the O.J. trial, the assertion by Simpson that he intended to devote the rest of his life to tracking down Nicole’s “real killer.” All leads have sug

And, more recently, “shared” with by Condit. 7. Don’t Engage in Character Assassination Clinton called one of the women who accused him of making sexual advances “unsta ble.” Condit and his pals have tried to portray Smith as a lying opportunist out to get rich and famous at the Congressman’s expense. Yeah, that’s gentlemanly. The worst recent offender in this regard, however, has to be Robert Blake. Murdered under highly suspicious circumstances, his wife was barely in the ground before the actor and his people started leaking stories to the media about her history of pursuing relation ships with famous men and con ning money out of others. This is an important rule: If someone

his mail. Likewise with Condit asking his daughter Cadee to go on “Larry King Live” to tell the world she’s OK with her married dad dating a woman about her age. Not to mention the weird way he blurted out “Chandra and I never had a cross word” before Connie Chung had even gotten a chance to ask whether the two were on good terms the last time they spoke. 9. Don’t Agree to Be Inter viewed About Your Scandal on National TV and Then Suddenly Refuse to Discuss It Millions tuning in? Again, not the best time to do something loony. W hat did Condit accom plish by sitting down with Chung and then robotically refusing to answer questions about his rela tionship with Levy, except to make himself look even more fid

gested that the culprit is an avid golfer, I guess, since the former football great has spent almost every waking hour on the links. T hat’s why I was stunned when, during his Larry King appearance, Condit’s son announced that the family had suddenly established the Chandra Levy Tip Line, an 800 number King had agreed to display periodically throughout the interview. The missing woman’s family and the police department already had toll-free lines up and run ning, of course. Somehow I wish the Congressman had called into theirs with pertinent information early on, rather than stonewalling and then starting up one of his own as a cynical publicity stunt. Talk about too little too late. Addendum: Be good. But, by all means, be prepared, too. ®

SEVEN D AYS

September 19, 2001

Caught in the Air — Burlington Mayor Peter Clavelle was 35,000 feet over Iceland last Tuesday morning when the pilot of the Delta flight from Moscow to New York came on the intercom to tell passengers, “We have a small problem and will be diverting to Dublin, Ireland.” Mr. Clavelle is the chairman of the board of the Montpelierbased Institute for Sustainable Communities (ISC). He had taken vacation time to visit ISC environmental programs under way in Russia. ISC is a highly acclaimed non-government organization founded a decade ago by former Vermont Gov. Madeleine Kunin. Its mission is to provide assistance to the countries of central and eastern Europe in the wake of the momentous fall of communism. Its goal is to help people from Macedonia to Moscow make the transition from dictatorship and environ mental degradation to democra cy and sustainable development. Traveling with Clavelle were Gov. Kunin and ISC Executive Director George Hamilton. Clavelle told Seven Days they figured it was some sort of mechanical problem. But upon landing in Dublin, one passen ger reached his wife via cell phone. He was just filing out of the airplane when he first heard mention of an attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. “Dublin is a wonderful city,” said Clavelle, “but it was very unsettling and unnerving to be away from my wife and family.” They spent three nights in Dublin waiting anxiously for a departure time. 1 “ They’re a very generous people,” said Clavelle of the Irish. He noted that on Friday, the Irish government declared a national day of mourning. “All businesses, all government offices and all pubs,” he said, “were closed for the day.” (Anyone who’s clicked over on the dial to Canadian televi sion is also well aware of the enormous outpouring of grief, sympathy and pro-American unity from millions of Cana dians from small town to big city. Men and women o f good will all around this planet are

the key to our survival.) On Friday the stranded Vermonters Finally reboarded the Delta plane for the flight home. But the aircraft could not land in New York and instead headed for Atlanta. They reached Atlanta, Clavelle said, around 7 p.m. and found Heartsfield Airport in “a state of utter chaos.” The Vermont trav elers were booked on an 8 p.m. flight to Manchester, New Hampshire. But that flight kept getting delayed, he said, until it was finally canceled at 1 a.m on Saturday. The Vermonters headed for an airport motel for a few hours’ rest. They were back at Hearts field in the morning and finally were able to board a flight to Albany, New York. From there, they rented a car and drove the rest of the way home, arriving in Burlington around 8 p.m. Saturday evening. Welcome home! Life Goes On — Born in 1949, yours truly has lived through a few dark moments when Armegeddon felt near: The air raid drills of grammar school, the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Bobby Kennedy,- the invasion of Cambodia and the gunning down of student anti-war demonstrators at Kent State; the kick-off of Desert Storm and the war against Iraq. This one, so fresh and cold, tops them all. But we’ve learned from liv ing through the terrors of yes terday, and we know from histo ry that life does go on. On Monday, Democrats Ed Flanagan and Jeb Spaulding raced to be first to declare their candidacies for state treasurer in the 2002 election. According to Ho-Ho, who was quick to endorse Jeb, Mr. Spaulding orig inally planned on announcing September 11. While it is highly irregular for Vermont politicians to crank up the campaign this early, it was assuring to witness others making plans for the future. On Tuesday, Gov. Dean used his press conference to announce a major commitment to renewable energy. The Gov, who recent touted the need for a new fossil fuel plant in north western Vermont, announced his commitment to a 10-year plan to cover the projected growth in Vermont’s energy demand with renewables like biomass, solar and wind power. A 10-year plan? Yes, Virginia, there is a future. It is late afternoon on Tuesday, September 18, 2001. People are dying of old age. Babies are being born. Candidates are declaring for office. And some jerk nearly ran me over biking home this after noon. We’re getting back to normal. We do have a future. And a purpose — we must learn from this barbarism. Together, we must open our eyes and see. ®

BiSSeX teams up with fellow Kerrville Festival New Folk winners Amy Fairchild (also a ’99 Lilith Fair artist) and Joel Cage Saturday night at the Burlington Coffee house. Fairchild and Cage will also perform live in the studio at The Point Sunday morning on “Crossroads.”

Lucinda. Thank you, people who went to the concert, or any show, parry, wedding, vigil, service or other human congregation this week. And my deepest condolences to all who have lost someone. Speaking of service, I must share something I heard this week, as there is no other place for me to tell it. Simply this: An employee of the Waiting Room was refused ser vice at a gas station in Essex last Tuesday. Why? Because his skin is slightly darker than Anglo skin. In fact, he is Brazilian, but the propri etors of the station apparently took him for Middle Eastern, hence “guilty” by association. This too is blind, irrational hatred, albeit far more subtle than what we wit nessed last week. This is the shame ful dark shadow of the heroic, com passionate human behavior that has also been exhibited. President Bush says now that we must “get ready” for war. I’d say some people are more than ready. But who, or what, is the enemy? To that point, please read Rev. Gary Kowalski’s sermon in this issue. NORTHERN EXPOSURE If the tal ented Ron Sexsmith — who opened for Lucinda Williams last week — is any indication, we should brace ourselves for a batch of young talent coming down from Canada. In fact, coming this week: Sunday at Red Square, three of the country’s brightest rising stars will perform in the first of three month ly “Made in Canada” mini-tours. (They respectfully changed the name from “Blame Canada” after last week’s terrorist attacks in the U.S.) This one brings Dan BryK, Renann and Mia Sheard to town for back-to-back solo sets. Each has graced the cover of Toronto’s N O W magazine and earned props from both critics and fans. Be good neighbors and check ’em out. And speaking of singer-song writers, Burlington’s own Rachel

KEEP ON TICKIN ’ O ur best wishes for a speedy recovery go out to Tim Whiteford, lead singer and guitarist for Burlington’s fa u x Celts The Highland Weavers. The “English patient” had triple bypass heart surgery Tuesday morning. DO GOOD, DEPT. If you’re not a rescue worker and you’ve already given blood, it’s easy to feel helpless in the wake of last week’s terrorist attacks. That’s why the Rusty Nail in Stowe is throwing an “All-American FeelGood Fundraiser” this Friday. Magic Hat’s co-sponsoring, local eateries are kicking in free food, and various businesses are donating prizes to a raffle/auction — all of which will benefit a special organi zation set up for 9/11 needs by the Red Cross and other nonprofits. The biggest prize, ironically, is a round trip for two to New York City. “They thought some people might want to go down to visit fam ily or friends,” explains Rusty Nail owner Bobby Roberts. (O f course, some of us may never want to.fly again.) The groove will be courtesy of Boston-based dance band The Pulse, perennial faves at the club. Rock on, American people. Phis Thursday the Laura Love DUO bring heart-felt — and politi cized — Afro-Celtic tunes to the Unitarian Church in Burlington to benefit the Peace & Justice Center. Finally, the ever-ready battery of the Queen City, Big Heavy World’s Jim Lockridge, has put plans into motion to produce a regional com pilation CD of all genres whose sale would benefit the families o f New York City firemen lost in the World Trace Center collapse. The liner notes, he hopes, will include photos of the participating musicians giv ing blood. More on this as it devel ops. SINGLE TRACKS Those wacky improv comedians The Soapflakes return with some welcome relief this Thursday at Club Metronome. Their theme: “Melodrama

Overdone Your Way” . . . The Flex posse pull an all-nighter this Friday at Higher Ground. Dance till 5 a.m. to Stratosphere Sound System and a host of stylin’ deejay tagteams including Shaman X & Darcie, Pam & Mo7s, Tricky Pat & Cousin Dave and more . . . It’s St. Michael’s College Weekend at 135 Pearl this Friday and Saturday (bring your ID!). DJ Little Martin spins . . . Talk about an unusual venue: Linda Boudreault, the for mer lead singer of Dr. Burma, has a clothes encounter with her CD debut this Sunday afternoon at Champlain Clothing in Burlington . . . Later that night, Homebrew host Kevin Murrihy interviews Sean Altrui and spins his recent release, The Candle Horn Church yard, on the Buzz . . . One band that could step in to fill the void left by the non-touring Phish, at least according to their hometown paper, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, is The Big Wu. Dream on. I mean, good luck! Local jam fans can take their measure this Sunday, when the Wu clan open for The Samples at Higher Ground. (Note: It’s a 7 p.m. show.) . . . Middlebury’s After Dark Music Series kicks off a new season this Friday at the United Methodist Church, and what an opener it is: the mega-talented Darrell Scott and Tim O’Brien (reviewed here last week). Americana fans should not miss it . . . After wowing Vermonters at last summer’s Discover Jazz Festival, Vandermark 5, led by the fiery reedman Ken Vandermark, return to the FlynnSpace for a night of their trademark improv — this Sunday . . . “Uncle Lenny,” a twotime king at Burlington’s annual Drag Ball, is the host of Drag Karaoke (and an open mike) this Saturday at 242 Main. The evening also features a short video screening of a still-untitled documentary on smoking from an outfit called Fresh Attitudes. The all-ages event, spon sored by R.U.1.2.?, is free if you come cross-dressed . . . Philly’s roy alty, The Princes of Babylon, are returning to Burlington — expect funky hip-hop rock stuff at Red Square this Friday . . . Look for some new personnel changes at The Point: Jody Petersen is becoming program director, Greg Hooker will be production director and Mark Miller, the “night guy,” will be music director . . .

Friday, September 21st • 7pm Bill Storandt & Outbound: Finding a Man, Sailing an Ocean Graced with an unusually apt title that embraces both the gay concept of coming out and the nautical term for leaving port, this compelling memoir weaves Bill Storandt’s tentative coming out during the late 1960’s & 1970’s with a jaunty account of an Atlantic Ocean crossing with his life partner, Brian, in the early ’ 1980’s. His long journey even brought him here to Vermont, where he lived in a geodesic dome. We’re excited to welcome Bill to The Book Rack and hope that you will join us.

THE DISMEMBERMENT PLAN, CHANGE (DeSoto Records, CD) — On their latest and fourth full-length album, Change, Washington D.C.’s The Dismemberment Plan manage to pull off a nifty trick: 11 songs so subtly challenging as to seem natural and normal. A little mellower than previous efforts, the D-Plan reins in the chaos a bit, favoring song and melody primarily and then wrapping the product in complex’, toe-tappy, syncopated drum rhythms that could make your head spin. Well-crafted funky and smooth bass lines complement guitars that alternate between staccato notes and arpeggios, frenetic strumming and churning chords. The band is very tight and the spot-on lyrics are delivered dry, with equal parts urgency and nonchalance. All in all it’s a heady mix of the best ^progressive indie-rock on the emo/funk tip. O f course, there’s also the obligatory new-wave keyboard action here, too, for extra flavor. Change is so easy to listen to that you almost won’t really realize how good these songs are until the whole album sinks in. By the third listen or so you should begin to pick a few favorites. I’ve got a bunch. “Come Home” and “Automatic” stand out early, probably because they are very low-key, reminding me a little of the last Hum album. When I feel the rock and pop meld ing into one, I’ve got to recommend “Following Through” and “Superpowers.” Then, of course, there’s the frantic “Pay For the Piano,” which feels a bit more like the D-Plan of yore. This record is listener-friendly and catchy, without having a single traditional pop song. “Time Bomb” is a gem, too. I’m most often caught by the moments when the music almost disappears, leaving vocalist Travis Morrison’s stark lines out there — “Once again the politics of common sense: you do and I don’t,” from “Automatic,” is a good exam ple. Then again, he sounds just as powerful when the band’s at full swell, like when the chorus to “Following Through” kicks in: “I can do it any where with anyone at anytime, don’t you forget this is my life and it’s going to be good, don’t you know.” So many parts end up stuck in your head. For a band that mixes so much together — punk, r&b, indie-rock, jazz, emo, funk — they’re incredibly hard to describe or pin down, and incredibly good. Your best bet for getting the full impact of The Dismemberment Plan would be to,/ go to see them live this Thursday night at Higher Ground in Winooski, with The Cancer Conspiracy and Carrigan. Highly recommended. Change is a good thing — and a great album. — Colin Clary

DAVE CARTER AND TRACY GRAMMAR, DRUM HAT BUDDHA (Signature Sounds, CD) — Let’s fight the temptation to compare Dave Carter and Tracy Grammar to D ave c a r t e r & t r a c t g r a m m e r either Richard and Linda Thomp son or to the Thompsons’ direct descendents, Clive Gregson and Christine Collister. The temptation in this case is strong, as with both of the aforementioned duos the drum hat buddha male member of the team con tributed brilliant songwriting while the woman’s irresistible voice and heartfelt delivery took the material and polished it like a gem. There certainly are similarities. Carter is the songwriter for all the material on his and Grammar’s third album, Drum Hat Buddha, and within these 12 songs he crafts some modern classics in the tradition of brilliant contemporaries like Lyle Lovett and Tom Russell. Grammer is more than a pretty voice, by the way — she also shines as a violinist, and isn’t too shabby on mandolin and guitar. Even though Carter is the chief songwriter, the lead vocals on Drum Hat Buddha are shared equally between the partners and, except for one case, the two sing lead on alternating songs and often harmonize on the choruses. This makes it sound as if they’re singing back and forth to each other throughout the album. Their harmonies sound as natural as breathing. The menu includes quiet ballads like “The Power and the Glory,” a number of catchy tunes sung by Grammar that seem custom-made for The Point (“236-6132,” “Ordinary Town”) and one of the best road songs (“Highway 80, She’s a Mighty Good Road”) I’ve heard since Taj Mahal cut “Six Days on the Road.” All the cuts on the disc are written, arranged and recorded with care and insight, and are easy to listen to. Dave Carter and Tracy Grammar will perform live this Friday at the Unitarian Church in Montpelier, courtesy of Live Art. — Robert Resnik

Dear Cecil, Has anyone ever actually faked his own death and assumed another identity? I am speaking o f public figures like Elvis, Hojfa and the like, not the ordinary insurance scam. I know there are lotsa theories out there, like JFK and Elvis and Hoffa on a desert island having a hoot and so forth, but what’s the straight dope? — Dan Bennett As always, I consulted the Straight Dope Science Advisory Board and got this reply from Czarcasm: “'What, you mean besides Elvis, Hoffa and JFK?” These guys are a million laughs. Right off the bat I can’t think of anybody famous who disappeared and assumed another identity permanently (I assume you’re not interested in Nazi-or other war crimi nals), but I know of a few who did so briefly. I’ve already told the story of mystery writer Agatha Christie, who dis appeared for 11 days in 1926. After her car was found abandoned, 15,000 volunteers searched the countryside. Turns out she’d checked into a health spa under an assumed name. Why was never made clear, but her hus band had been cheating on her publicly and maybe she just flipped out. Anyway, she returned home, divorced the lying son of a bitch and lived reasonably happily ever after. Curiously, another celebrity also vanished earlier in 1926 — maybe that’s where Christie got the idea. The desaparecida was Aimee Semple McPherson, a radio evan gelist whose eloquence and showbiz flair drew thousands to

her Los Angeles temple every week. When not giving ser mons, “Sister Aimee” liked to swim. On May 18, leaving her secretary on the beach, she swam out into the ocean and didn’t come back. There was a huge uproar. A massive search failed to turn up the body. The newspapers churned out extras as 1,0,000 followers kept vigil on the shore. Rumors swirled. Some said she hadn’t drowned but had been eaten by a sea monster; others said the whole thing was a publicity stunt. She was sighted more times than Elvis — 16 times in one day, in locations all over the country. The coroner refused to issue a death certificate. On June 20, McPherson’s mother received a ransom note from “the Avengers” demanding $500,000. Three days later the evangelist showed up in Agua Prieta, Mexico, just across the border from Douglas, Arizona. She told a bizarre story. She had been wading in the surf when a couple lured her into their car with a story about a dying child. She was chloroformed, driven to a two-room shack in the desert, and held there by two men and a woman. A few days later the men left, then the woman announced she was going into town for supplies. McPherson cut her bonds on the jagged lid of a five-gallon syrup can. Once free, she walked across the desert for 17 hours before collapsing inside the gate of a house. But the story was fishy. The shack she’d described could not be found. Despite her supposedly lengthy trek, she was not dehydrated or sunburned, and her dress showed no signs of sweat. Her shoes weren’t scuffed or worn except that she had somehow contrived to get grass stains on them in the desert. She was wearing a watch given to her by her mother that she hadn’t taken to the beach, and so on. The cops searched halfheartedly for the kidnappers while hundreds of reporters tried to figure out what McPherson had really been up to. Soon it was reported that she had spent 10 days in the seaside resort town of Carmel, California, with Kenneth Ormiston, her radio engineer, with whom she was thought to be having an affair. A grand jury hearing on the kidnapping turned into an interrogation of McPherson. A woman claimed she had

been bribed by McPherson and her mother to say that she, not the evangelist, had been with Ormiston in Carmel. Despite McPherson’s protestations that she was an inno cent victim, she was indicted for obstruction of justice, along with Ormiston and others. The story filled the news papers for months and became an embarrassment for Los Angeles civic leaders. William Randolph Heart’s Examiner reported that the district attorney was dropping the charges. The DA declared he was doing no such thing but finally took the hint, saying the evidence was too confused to permit prosecution. What really happened? The story doesn’t make sense any way you look at it. The kidnapping yarn was silly, but if all she wanted was a tryst with Ormiston there were a dozen easier ways to have one than faking an abduction. I’ve yet to hear a persuasive account of the whole mess. McPherson returned to preaching but remained a contro versial figure for the rest of her life, dying of a sedative overdose in 1944. Could a famous person successfully fake a disappearance with today’s tabloids on the case? Maybe Hoffa et al. pulled it off, but I say fat chance. — CECIL ADAMS

The ladder in “Thaw” points to the leaves but does not quite reach them.

he pairing'of Galen Cheney and Axel Stohlberg at Church & Maple Gallery was a very good choice. While their techniques are generally quite different, there are some composi tional similarities in their works. Neither paints with a shouting palette; both use colors that command attention with a whisper. While each is primarily an abstractionist, both allow lit eral elements to have a place in their works — a range of new pieces that includes few repeats. Perhaps most impor tantly, Cheney and Stohlberg are equally strong painters. Stohlberg has 15 pieces in the show, including drawings, paintings and mixed-media works. Several are among the abstract landscapes that appeared in his large exhibit at City Center in Montpelier, but they’re certainly worth seeing again. “Clouds 2” is composed from three large shapes — two above the hori zon, one below. That’s enough to imply a landscape, and Stohlberg never does more than imply any object. The oval in upper left can be described as blue with a green line around it, but such a description would overlook the layered depth of the blue, and the shifting weight of the line. Paint and pastel build Stohlberg’s fields.

in both the boys and Reeves, inspiring him to get his act together as he gets the team to the top of its game. The ragtag squad is full of endearing and highly colorful characters. It’s heartwarming, as always, to watch as perennial losers discover self-confidence, as a lost soul finds redemption and underdogs gain on the favorites as the championships approach. The story’s an unabashed catalogue of feel-good cliches, but, just when things seem like they couldn’t get more Disneyesque, our young heroes experience a terrible loss as the result of senseless violence. Not since Bambi’s mother perished in that cartoon blaze has a family film gotten this dark this suddenly. Just as the goofball sunniness of the story’s first two acts offered a welcome break from the cloud hanging over everything and everyone this past week, the shared solemnity pervading the picture’s final scenes eerily mirrors the country’s current mood. It seems somewhat absurd to point to a movie like this as any sort of metaphor for the tragedy the nation is process ing, but all the elements are here: Great things are achieved when people of disparate backgrounds put aside differences and work together; violence strikes without warning or meaning; loss is followed by shock, then anger, then reflection and holding the whole thing together. Baseball is the great American metaphor itself: In the end, play must resume. Life must go on. You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll experience anxiety and hope for the future of the civilized world. That’s probably more than I would have said for this betterthan-average formula fest had I seen it a month ago, and perhaps if I’d seen The Glass House or The Closet this past weekend I would have found provocative subtexts and resonance in them, too. Who can say? I do know that smiles have been hard to come by this week. Hardball has an emergency supply, should you find yourself in need of one. ®

A cornball, button-pushing Bad News Bears rehash that hauls out every heartstring-pulling trick in the book, the new Keanu Reeves vehicle Hardball might have bordered on the embarrassing any other week end, but, in the wake of recent events, strikes precisely the right lightweight note. Reeves scruffs himself up to play a down-and-out Chicago gambling addict. He’s bet his way into a cor ner as the film begins, owing thousands to a menacing thug known only as The Barber, as well as the owner of his neighborhood watering hole. Loyalty to his late father keeps the bar owner at bay — just barely — and a yuppie friend who works at a swank financial firm offers him a way out of his other debt: If Keanu will take over as coach of his Little League team while he’s out of town on business, the pal will pay him $500 a week under the table. At first the prospect of working with a bunch of peewees from one of the Windy City’s poorest pro jects sounds only marginally preferable to having his thumbs broken. When Reeves drags himself into the dugout for the team’s first practice, he echoes the reluctant coach Tom Hanks played in A League o f Their Own. Only this time it isn’t the disgruntled manager but his players who talk trash and swear like sailors. A motley, instantly likable crew, the group is all ghetto bravado and very little talent. As soon as Reeves bans interplayer dissing on the field and dis covers the Walkman-wearing pitching phenom right under his nose, though, the team’s play begins to improve dramatically. Two of his best players are permitted to take part only on the condition that their coach ensure they play by the rules at school, too — and that’s where the story’s love interest comes in. Diane Lane costars as a well-intentioned teacher who brings out the best

They can’t all be classics. In fact, what we’ve Igot for you this week are scenes from four pictures that barely even registered in the public conscious ness and did so-so business at best. They came and went faster than you can say “straight to video.” Your job is to convince us they are gone but not forgotten.

Even in the land of Peter Schumann, “Appel D A ir”sounds like a dramatic departure from the traditional puppet show. A man dreams a world in which he interacts with a wealth of “found” objects — pulleys, a camp stove, lamps, a radio, a birdcage with a miniature airplane “living” inside of it. “If, in a classic puppet show, it is the hinged puppets which finish up by becoming actors,” writes the Geneva Tribune, “here the man animates the inanimate to survive his own solitude and his fear of the human world.” Add spoken lines by Laurie Anderson, and you've come a long way from Punch and Judy.

sOUnd AdviCe out riggin g Boat books tend to list on the manly side, from Moby Dick to The Perfect Storm. But Outbound is a little different. It’s about a trans-Atlantic sailboat crossing that doubles as a journey of sexual self-discovery. Instead of coming about, author Bill Storandt comes out — appropriately enough — on a boat called Clarity that was designed and built in Williston. Hear about the luffing and the loving at a book-signing within miles of his old home in Westford.

burger buster Good thing there’s no McDonald’s in Montpelier. Ag activist Jose Bove ransacked one two years ago in France. The Parisian-turned-sheep farmer takes exception to what he called “the multinationals of foul food” — specifically, the corporate takeover of the world’s food sup ply and its negative impacts on small farmers, rural communi ties, local cultures, the environ ment, food quality and food security. Kindred spirits Anthony Pollina, Dave Dellinger, Grace Paley and Brian Tokar join him at a rally titled “The .World is Not for Sale: Reclaiming Our Food and Our Future.” By the way, it was in Montpellier — France — that Bove turned himself in to police. •

screen savers The Movie Club of Burlington normally meets every other Wednesday at a theater near you. But this week the group is giving summer one last shot with a tail-gate party at the drive-in. About 90 cineastes get regular e-mails from Kyle Sowles, who organizes the biweekly outings. The selection process is entirely demo cratic, which means someone is always disappointed. Not this weekend, though. “People will be able to choose from four movies,” Sowles says. “That’s the beauty.” Kinda does a number on the post-show discussion, though.

war of the words “I was a coward. I went to war,” Tim O ’Brien once said. That same irony pervaded his National Book Award-winning take on Vietnam: Going After Cacciato.

Along with excerpts, expect to get his read on the recent terrorist attacks in Washington, D.C., and New York City at a literary event for the whole community. Tim O’Brien Reading.

Sure thing. From now on think of me as a sort of an omnipotent, all-seeing superhero with yourself as my boy wonder sidekick.

Just don’t ask to drive the “Godmobilej’ all right? I’ve seen the way you drive.

I can see you haven’t lost your sense of humor, Lord.

Also...no leotards, please. Your legs are not my best handiwork, I’m sorry to say.

SEVEN DAYS

page

^^ByRobBrezsny*

ARIES

(Mar. 2 1 -Apr. 19): If I advised you to use your libido to conquer evil, would you even know what the hell I’m talking about? Most o f the time, I’m afraid, your urges to be wild and pursue pleasure are divorced from your longings for truth and beauty and goodness. But now is a perfect time to change all that. Cosmic forces are conspiring to lead' you into situations where you can stir up rowdy bliss through service to righteous causes and worthy people.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-M ay 20): Road crews have been reinventing the main artery through my hometown. Bored senseless as I inch along in my car, I give my fantasy life ample play. Cranky-looking workers in ratty Tshirts are actually bodhisattvas in dis guise. Vats o f smoking asphalt become alchemical cauldrons cooking up a magical paving material that will sweeten the thoughts o f everyone who passes over the new road surface. Today I got a fresh inspiration as I contemplated the “ Bump Ahead” signs, which warn o f upcoming pro tuberances. What if there were a psy chic equivalent? What if God gave us a “ Bump Ahead” sign any time we were approaching a gnarly knob in the path ahead, prompting us to slow down and relax? If He could do it, He’d do it for you soon.

GEMINI

(May 21-Ju n e 20): Saturn has been in your sign since last April, and will continue to be there till June 2003. Some traditional astrologers, who regard the ringed planet as a dour agent o f limitation, might try to scare you silly with dark premonitions o f sacrifice and shrink age. Because my teachers have taught me to see Saturn as the archetype o f the Great Mother, I take a different tack. I say that if you cooperate with Her, She’ll give birth to the re a l you. She’ll strip you o f flaky, flighty ten dencies and free you to be your skill ful, versatile self without fear o f squandering your energy on low-pri

ority goals. With Saturn as your divine mentor, you will become the gorgeous connector you were born to be, unhampered by dead-end yearn ings and false ideas about yourself.

offers scientific arguments to support 17th-century French mathematician Blaise Pascal’s belief that “the heart has its reasons which reason knows nothing of.” You might want to glean a few pearls from Damasio’s book, Virgo. His ideas will come in handy soon, when you’ll have to convince doubters (including yourself) that you’ve tapped into emotional intelli gence you’re normally blind to.

CANCER

(June 2 1 -July 22): I know you pretty well, Cancerian. I’m a Crab myself. And I’m guessing that right about now your self-protec tive urges are in overdrive. Certainly one solution is simply to surrender to the fantasy o f hiding your tender heart behind an impenetrable fortress. If you choose to go in that direction, you might want to buy yourself an armored fighting vehicle from a mili tary surplus seller. I hear there are good prices on World War II tanks these days. Check out this Web site: www.olive-drab.com. But I’ll also invite you to contemplate less extreme approaches. The point o f guarding your sensitive psyche, after all, is to keep it in prime shape to receive visitors who’ll treat it with reverence and respect.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): This week’s equinox marks the most balanced time o f the year. The length o f the days and nights are equal and the possibility for human beings to be rational and objective is at a peak. Unlike the spring equinox, which launches the fiery, impulsive astrolog ical month o f Aries, the late September crux begins with Libra, the sign whose members are most skilled at creating harmony and grace. What does this all bode for you per sonally? First, you’ll find it easier to be yourself than usual. Second, you’ll feel more at home in the world. Third, you’ll have cosmic assistance if you make your approach to balance feel more passionate and less likely to anesthetize you.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): Studies show that people who don’t read the daily newspaper or watch T V news have 35 percent fewer negative thoughts. Since your potential prob lem this week has to do entirely with hallucinated fears and nothing to do with actual demoralizing events, I hope You’ll heed these data. Let the other kids call you an escapist Pollyanna. I’ll think o f you as a wise and happy soul-master who knows the value o f disciplining your percep tual intake and nurturing your imagi nation. (P.S.: To eliminate another 30 percent, avoid cynics who talk trash and bring out the worst in you.)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 2 1): “ I’ve told you a million times not to exaggerate, Scorpio. I really get antsy when you refuse to be patient. If you don’t stop berating yourself, I’m going to have to cut you down to size. I’m sick and tired o f you empha sizing the dark side o f everything. I swear I’ll lose my freaking temper and do something stupid if you don’t stop making disguised threats.” [Editor’s note: The previous rant has been a public service announcement designed to alert you to the possibili ty that the gap between your good side and your bad side is in danger of

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In his book D escartes’ Error, neurologist Antonio Damasio refutes the lie that our feelings are unreliable guides. He

becoming a little too wide in the coming weeks.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 2 1): I’ll understand if you don’t feel up to accepting the glam orous but risky assignment I have _to offer you; stay comfy and have a nice life, no hard feelings. If, on the other hand, you brashly agree to engage your higher destiny, I promise that your higher destiny will turn you into a force o f nature. The fun could be legendary, but the responsibility awe some. Your title might be “ Hurricane o f Love.” Your technique would be “creative destruction.” Your goal would be to lovingly demolish the outmoded beliefs and structures that are subtly undermining your most soulful dreams.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22Jan. 19): If you happen to see a man dressed in an emerald velvet cloak bordered by eagle feathers, and he is typing madly on a laptop computer with T he W a ll S tree t J o u rn a l by his side, I suggest you glide over and whisper this coded question in his right ear: “ Lone w olf or social butter fly?” If he says, “lone butterfly,” leave him and immediately contact the seven people who would be most helpful in extending your web o f allies. If on the other hand the busi nessman-shaman mutters “social wolf,” leave him and immediately for mulate a daring plan to refurbish your web o f allies.

about yourself; it could be an outrageous boast or an amazed urst o f gratitude for the won der and mystery o f you. The third poem will be in the form o f a conversation with the divine presence you feel closest to. I suggest that initially you don’t write down any o f these lyrical cries o f the heart. Rather, speak or chant them aloud while walking, with your only audi ence the trees and sky and animals.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Think back to your first descent into the abyss many years ago. You were a raw rookie at the time, and didn’t have many skills to help you negoti ate the dark, dank regions. It was no surprise that you came back touchy and scarred. But in each stint in the underworld since then, you’ve gained more proficiency at remembering who you are even when you feel lost. In fact, I believe that somewhere along the way you passed a crucial threshold. During your next visit below, I suspect you will not only feel a minimum o f pain; you will also dis cover uncanny pleasures that will sharpen your mythic vision and enrich your creative passion. Congratulations on the upgrade! You can call Rob Broxsny, day or night for your

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Even if you believe you don’t have a poetic bone in your body, I urge you to compose three poems in the coming week. The gods will be happy if you do. One poem should be a love letter to the person who most captivates your imagination. A second should be a song o f praise

Dear Lola, My lover hat a dirty sock fetish. He asks me to wear the same pair of socks for several days in a row and to bring them to him when they're good and dirty. I’ve been more than glad to comply with his wishes, and at first found it rather endearing to watch him sniff the dirty socks, then roll them over his face and along his naked body. The first few times he did this, the socks served as teasers, and once he got good and excited, he turned to me. Lately, however, he’s ignored me altogether, making love to my socks from start to finish. I’m beginning to suspect that he’s only interested in me as a provider of dirty socks. What should I do? Unshed in Underhill Dear Unshed, Put your foot down. Tell him his "socks sex’’ is leaving you in the lurch, and that you demand equal time. Make it clear that if he’s only interest ed in hanky-panky with anklets, he can find someone else to be his hosiery whore. If he does n ’t toe the line, hoof it. Love,
