Re Crank Call, September 16: Hosanna, Peter Kurth! At last, a piece about this tawdry, embar rassing, incredible and, yes, SALA CIOUS story with which I can agree 150 percent. I am so tired of watching the TV people salivate over it all (“Tell me, Mrs. X, how did you FEEL when the truck ran over your toddler?”) and just ever so disgusted with their and the rest of the media trying to paint Monica as a victim — although words fail me when I try to describe a grown woman who flashes her thong panties at the President of the United States — and were supposed to sympathize? A reckless, sexually immature man caught by a predatory and imma ture woman, I’d say. They deserve each other. Unfortunately, we don’t deserve either of them. And as for Ken Starr: I am appalled. Vengeance is mine, saith the independent prosecutor. Enough. Enough. — Jody Kebabian S. Burlington TELLING IT LIKE IT IS

Peter Kurth’s column, “Falling Starr” [September 16] is the only articulation of thoughts on Ken Starrs report I’ve read that makes common sense. Instead of being mock-outraged at Clintons behav ior, Congressmen and women and the public-at-large should be really outraged at Ken Starr’s attack and destruction of all our personal lib erties. Only Peter Kurth seems to be telling it like it is. His column

should be put on the Internet so that it can be read by the world, otherwise the United States will be seen as a laughing stock. — Aram Boyajian

Burlington GREAT N O RTHERN EXPO SURE

“The ‘Other’ Burlington?” [September 16] article by Ruth Horowitz was an interesting snap shot of the demographic and polit ical makeup of Wards 4 and 7 (the New North End). I have lived and worked in Burlington’s “Old North End” and moved to Ward 7 last year. I live in an old farm house, try not to mow the yard very often, and don’t own a swim ming pool. As for the “three quiet miles,” that is subject to change depending on the time of day. I refer to our part of town as “North Burlington.” The New North End seems an insult to the Old North End, and South Colchester seems an insult to North Burlington. I am hoping the moniker sticks and people of all political persuasions will start to use North Burlington as an appropriate reference to this part of the city. P.S. I am wondering what a “real” Burlingtonian is, what an “average” Burlingtonian is, and who makes the distinction? — Lisa Winkler

“North” Burlington N O CO UNTRY CRITIC?

I am puzzled as to why Pamela Polston keeps reviewing local country music artists’ work; there

y are reviewers who understand the genre so much better. Her August 12 article on Jamie Lee Thurstons latest, Long Time, No See, seemed merely patroniz ing, but her review of Mark LeGrand and Sarah Munro’s CD, Mischievous Angel, seemed to me to show true ignorance about country music. A long listen to Willie Nelson’s Red Headed Stranger album, along with some tunes by Gram Parsons, might help her get a handle on where LeGrand was coming from. As a long-time country music lover, I can give Polston a hint: Mischievous AngeL, like all good country music, attempts to sort out and clarify complexities. The thing that apparently drove Polston up the wall was what appealed to me the most: how easy it was to listen to. In a culture where more is usually seen as better, complex music can start to be more valued, because there’s more in it to be labeled intellectu ally. But music must be emotive first, or it loses its musicality and becomes just a bunch of notes stuck together. It takes courage as a songwriter to allow the listener a space to hear what they hear with their emotions, and not feel com pelled to identify its validity in any place other than the heart. I feel LeGrand and Munro accomplish this on Mischievous Angel. That what makes it such a wonderful, unusual CD to listen to. So keep listening, Ms. Polston. — Gale Harris Montpelier

1 9 8 4 IS HERE

We the people have the right to know everything. Therefore, Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky must be required to re-enact their affair live and on television before the whole world. And if they resist? Throw them in prison for the rest of their lives, for perjury (failing not only to tell but to show the whole “truth”) and obstruction of “justice” — not justice for them, of course, which we and Congress don’t care about, but our “just” need to know everything about our leaders. And the rest of us? We can cower in our homes like we are doing now, before the Radical Right takeover of our democracy and individual rights through manipulation of the morass of sex ual harassment laws which have arisen in the last 20 years. We can continue to be distracted by dis cussions of Bill Clinton’s character instead of having to think about the issues raised by this Inquisition led by Kenneth Starr the Grand Inquisitor. George Orwell was only ahead of his time; 1984 is now 1998. — Lois Eby Wolcott Letters Policy: SEVEN DAYS wants your rants and raves, in 2 5 0 words or less.

y partner and I left Burlington last week under a cloud of sulphur, a baking, pore clogging miasma that we attributed partly to Indian summer and partly to the poison spewed into the atmosphere by the Republican Congress and its henchmen in the press. It would be churlish of me not to thank my readers for their overwhelmingly favorable response to my last column about the Lewinsky Follies; I don’t know when I’ve writ ten anything that’s generated such praise. But it wasn’t enough to keep me in town. So far, there’s no indication that the overstuffed, over paid, fat-cat perpetrators of this shameless melodrama are listening to a word any of us are saying. I had to get away — but where? We went first to Boston, where I arrived a full week early for a lunch date with my editor at Little, Brown. Don’t ask me how I could have made this mistake. It must have been the bewil dering experience of reading the newspaper headlines, “Nation Transfixed by Clinton Video Testimony,” then searching in vain in the reports that followed for any sign that this was so. True, a lot of people apparently did

from a 1987 interview with Diane Sawyer on “60 Minutes”: “Public media should not contain explicit or implied descriptions of sex acts. O ur society should be purged of the perverts who provide the media with pornographic material while pretending it has some redeeming social value under the public’s ‘right to know.’” Right on, Ken. In the Times, no less a sage than Russell Baker has declared outright that the media are “in cahoots with Kenneth Starr,” adding that “it must be despair of ever destroying Mr. Clinton that has driven the media into their sudden romance with morality. “Media people nowadays are almost all college boys and girls,” Baker observes, “cream of the crop, top of the class. Which also means they don’t have a lot in com mon with all those millions to whom jobs and health insurance are more urgent matters than the unorthodox sexual proclivities of bigtime politicians.” At my brother’s house in Darien, Connecticut, where we fled from Boston with our tails between our legs, the television is going on all by itself in the middle of the night, blabbing away about Clinton, Lewinsky, hair-care products, and St. Francis of Assisi, as my sister-in-law reported the morning after we arrived. “I mean, the TV was

There’s something malevolent and utterly disorienting in the constant jumbling of issues and images on the idiot box. tune in to watch the President squirm, but, as the poHs confirmed, few of them stayed to enjoy it for long. They sighed, they joked, they rolled their eyes. Then Clinton’s approval rat ings went up six points, to the utter consternation of the media elite. According to a New York Times/CBS News Poll, “78 percent of all Americans, and 65 percent of Republicans” (no less) think the video testimony “should never have been released at all.” Meantime, stray quotes from the First Nelly, Kenneth Starr — that Carrie Nation in pants — have been floating around the Internet, including this,

offT she said, “and anyhow we’d been watching CNN. At three in the morning it suddenly came on. It had switched to some Christian channel, and some little priest was talking about St. Francis and stained-glass windows.” My sister-in-law is Southern, from North Carolina, and it’s not the first time she’s detected evil spirits in the hardware. “Last summer it was John Wayne movies,” she reported. “We’d be sound asleep, then bam!— the TV would come on, and it was always John Wayne in Stagecoach.” Like all undeni able facts and trends in American life, my sister-inlaw’s experience will be dis

missed as “anecdotal.” But I think she’s right: There’s something malevolent and utterly disorienting in the constant jumbling of issues and images on the idiot box. We are living in the Tower of Babel, “W ithin the Context of No Context,” as George W.S. Trow explained so brilliantly 15 years ago in his famous essay of that name. Toothpaste, Jeep Cherokees, Pop Tarts, hem orrhoids, natural disasters, hideous murders, wars, plagues, floods and Constitutional crises are all given the same treatment, all weighted with the same sig nificance, all beamed at the same fevered pitch. Call me Cassandra, but I see no happy end to this. Nothing has meaning in the electronic madhouse, noth ing is more important than anything else. The insistence of the money men that they are “only giving the public what it wants” is both a lie and an old song and dance: You could nurse a baby on ice cream and horse manure, but it wouldn’t be any good for the child. And that is what we, as a culture, are expected to ingest — choles terol and dreck. The odious moralist William Bennett asks in his new book, The Death o f Outrage, why Americans aren’t “up in arms” over the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal. He misses the point, of course. There is no differ ence in word, shape or form between President Clinton and Joey Buottafucco. This is the “truth” that television has brought us. As to my sister-in-law, she longs for the days when the nearest thing you saw to an “inappropriate relation ship” were Buddy Ebsen and Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's. She wants to be transported to an earlier time, something she hopes technology will make possible quickly before she sinks in the mire. In the meantime, she’s become a suburban terrorist, driving around Darien in her oldfashioned station wagon and leaving anonymous notes on the windshields of sport util ity vehicles. “ You and your kind are the problem,” she writes, then drives gleefully home to the box that squawks, night and day, around the clock, whether you’ve turned it on or not.

unch with Anthony Scalia and Mario Cuomo? It is hard to imagine two more polarized politicos sharing a meal. Perhaps the most conserv ative justice on the Supreme Court, Scalia is a father of nine who firmly believes Roe vs. Wade is bad law. Former New York governor Cuomo is a quintessential liberal who sup ports gun control and opposes the death penalty. Opposing ideologies are standard operating procedure in Italy. So Burlington neurologist Ken Ciongoli brought Scalia and Cuomo together over lunch, on the theory “they did n’t disagree about anything that mattered.” They ate pasta in a private room at Galileo’s, and

discussed everything from abor tion to the First Amendment. “It was like having lunch with former Chief Justice John Marshall and Thomas Jefferson,” Ciongoli says of the historic meeting two months ago in Washington, D.C. Although both men were wary at first, they were exchanging first names by the time coffee was served. After lunch, Ciongoli recalls, “they embraced and walked out together, arm and arm, like two little old Italian guys.” Ciongoli has a thing for Mediterranean men' — in the ;: ; J .i cultural sense, that is. The 55year-old father of five is to Columbus Day what Vermont horror writer Joe Citro is to

Halloween. When he’s not practicing medicine, Ciongoli is promoting Italian culture and “values” as president of the board o f the National ItalianAmerican Foundation — a nonprofit organization with a $4 million annual budget that funds scholarships and grants, organizes lectures, underwrites trips and honors prominent Italian-Americans in the fields of sports, politics and the arts. Six years ago, the high-rank ing ambassadorial job required Ciongoli to stand in for ailing Joe DiMaggio in his native Sicilian village. Two months ago, it found him convincing Cuomo and Scalia to collabo rate on a chapter in Ciongoli’s next book. Later this month, at

the annual awards dinner, it will bring him face-to-face with Leonardo DiCaprio, Tommy Lasorda, Sophia Loren, Barbara Sinatra and the presidents of Italy and the United States. On a Saturday morning at the Oasis Diner in Burlington, it definitely explains the suit and tie. “He’ll be examining a patient, getting a fax from Cuomo and talking on the phone to Geraldine Ferraro,” Middlebury author Jay Parini says of Ciongoli, with whom he recently co-authored a book of essays entitled, Beyond the Godfather: Italian-American Writers on the Real ItalianAmerican Experience. The dottore brought in the writers,

including novelist Gay Talese and literary theorist Frank Lentriccia. Parini did the editing. “We have opposite politics,” Parini says of his conservative friend, “but we get along very well.” Parini and Ciongoli share a passion for Italian culture. But Ciongoli takes it one espressodose further: From his vantage point, the Roman republic was the best thing that ever hap pened to Western civilization. Christopher Columbus was “a good guy and a visionary humanist.” And that famous line, “all men are created equal,” should have been credit ed to Filippo Mazzei. According to Ciongoli, Thomas Jefferson’s vintner at Monticello was responsible for more than just harvesting grapes. At the slightest provocation, Ciongoli will go off on the virtues of Mediterranean cul ture as if he were running for office. He has statistics to prove that Italian-Americans have the lowest rates of divorce, unem ployment, welfare dependence and incarceration among ethnic groups in the United States. People of Italian descent also get high marks for eating together as a family and keep ing elderly family members at home. For all his ethnic pride, how ever, he insists “balkanizing” is not the goal of his organization. “Seventy-five percent of us marry out,” he says, claiming intermarriage is the best test of tolerance. “But what we give the groups we marry into is a priority of family — not just lip service to it, but sacrifice and self-denial, as opposed to selfaggrandizement. . .Italy doesn’t need a government to know how to behave.” Ciongoli’s “values” are not exactly those defined by the Christian Coalition, although

every mom is definitely at home. He uses the word to mean everything from filial piety and pater familias to good food and inspiring architecture. Simply put, the Italian version of values is a code of principles and behaviors that transcends politics, geography and blood. “To impact America with what we know to be excellent,” he says, “is all we are after.”

ike many of America’s most passionate Italophiles, Ciongoli was not born in the Old Country. His parents, born and raised in Rockyrenowned South Philadelphia, never thought much about being Italian. “It was their hands, their arms, their hair, their food,” he says. “It takes a generation of success, and some free time, to go back and understand who you are and where you came from.” Alfredo Kenneth — the Ciongolis’ only child — had his career planned for him. “From the day that I could under stand, they called me ‘doctor,’” he recalls. Architect might have been a better fit, but Ciongoli didn’t want to disappoint his father, who had to give up a scholarship at the University of Pennsylvia when his own father died unexpectedly. Says Ciongoli, “He wanted to be a doctor. He couldn’t. He wasn’t going to let that happen again.” The first step was St. Joseph’s Prep, where Ciongoli was one of six Italians in a school of 700 mostly IrishCatholic boys. Then it was off to the University of Pennsyl vania — an Ivy League school not too far from home. Like the Roman historian Pliny the Elder, whom Ciongoli quotes from memory, his father believed children should be educated “in the city of their birth.” Culturally, though, Ciongoli was a wannabe WASP — at least initially. He joined a fra ternity with a bunch of guys who were rich enough to spend weekends in Europe. “My clothes weren’t right. My hair wasn’t right. My accent wasn’t exactly right. My attitudes were all wrong,” Ciongoli recalls. But being culturally isolated taught him a lesson that was not covered in med school. “You get hassled,” he says, “and it makes you think about who you are.” It was decades before Ciongoli really embraced his Italian heritage. Like so many immigrant families, his did not look back. He was the first of his clan to visit the homeland — an island off the coast of Naples within view of Mount. Vesuvius. Although he had morphed temporarily from a preppie to a bearded liberal, They knew instantly that I was a family member,” Ciongoli

says, recalling the first of many trips back to Ischia. He now owns a vineyard there that has been in the family for genera tions. Ciongoli credits his own children for the development of his conservative ideology. “Imparting values,” he says, “is when I got into this Italian thing.” And although Burlington is not exactly Little Italy, it appealed to Ciongoli and his wife Barbara when they came north for his medical resi dency. They spent two years in Denmark before Ciongoli returned to head up the Multiple Sclerosis Clinic. On the advice of his wife, who is not Italian-American, he gave up “Al” for “Kenneth.” It was a far cry from South Philly, but Ciongoli found a few kindred Roman souls in the Green Mountains. Years later he helped found the Vermont Italian Cultural Association — a benevolent group of operaloving Italophiles who have learned to steer clear of subjects having to do with politics and religion. Ciongoli still remem bers a “disastrous” session on the subject of feminism that almost tore the organization apart.

maybe 70,” he goes on, describ ing how his Saturday Night Fever moment gave in to a Dolce Vita one. “She opens her purse and says to me, ‘Your lips look dry. Would you like a pear?’ She was the ultimate nur ture^ just like my mother. I thought, boy, what have I been missing? Huge parties, for one thing. The annual bash of the ItalianAmerican Foundation is required schmoozing for a plethora of multi-voweled glit terati in politics and entertain ment. Ciongoli has yukked it up with Frank Sinatra, John Travolta, Sonny Bono, Perry Como, Al Pacino and Yogi Berra. And he has paid Sophia Loren the ultimate compliment by noting her resemblance to — you guessed it — his mama. Some of the biggest wigs on the 50-member board of direc tors are business types. Ciongoli rubs elbows with the chief exec utives of McDonald’s, Brooks Brothers, Barnes & Noble, Saks Fifth Avenue, Honeywell, 3M and the New York Stock Exchange. The largest single donation to the organization came from the American ambassador to Italy, who wrote a personal check on the spot for $500,000.

— K en C iongoli He was still president of the local group when he attended his first meeting of the National Italian-American Foundation in New York. The topic was Hollywood stereotypes of Italian-Americans — a real sore point among high-ranking Mediterraneans. “I went to the bathroom, and guys were three deep combing their hair. I have never seen a guy comb his hair in Vermont. I instantly knew I was home.” “Then I went and sat down in the third row next to this beautiful woman, who was

“They are all like me, trying to get this Italian thing straight,” Ciongoli says with the same fast-talking force he uses to make all his points. But instead of paving his way with money, Ciongoli rose through the ranks of the organization by expressing himself on subjects like excess individualism, which he believes is what ails America. He scored major points by lead ing an initiative to determine why so few Italian-Americans end up in Ivy League colleges. “Affirmative Action was a major reason. We paid the price

o say that today’s sitcom owes a great debt to “The Honeymooners” is hardly a controversial state ment. Saying that today’s sit com and romantic comedy both can be traced back to Shakespeare — his comedies, of course, and A Midsummer's Night’s Dream more than any other — might ruffle a few more feathers. After all, tack ling Shakespeare is synonymous with “serious” theater. Yet it’s difficult for any member of the TV generation to sit through Midsummer without sensing, at least the teeniest bit, that one has seen all this before: Forbidden love. Magical hijinks. Comical romantic mis understandings. It’s somewhere between “Bewitched” and «nr» 1 1hrees> oCompany. )) W ith Shakespeare, though, familiarity can be a good thing, for it offers what many a “seri ous” theater audience so des perately craves: access. The Montpelier-based Lost Nation Theater Company’s current run of A Midsummer Night’s Dream is an artful example. Set in a modern time peri od, the production presents the Bard’s intricate verse through pinstripe-suited patriarchs, barefoot maidens in blue jeans, and psyched-to-get-busy dudes in flannel shirts. Even the mag ical fairies could have been plucked from a New Age spiri tuality workshop. Purists will no doubt bristle at the creative license taken by Lost Nation, but their production actually serves Shakespeare well by highlighting both his genius then and his relevance now — that is, showing that a really good 400-year-old script can still yield a thoroughly modern play. Remarkably few seams appear in this juxtaposition of old verse in new duds — a tes tament to the consistency of this cast. Gus Kaikkonen demonstrates great range as Theseus, ever the father who knows best in a blue-velvet blazer, and later as magical Oberon, the Yanni-tressed architect of the play’s central mischief. Angela Roberts plays opposite Kaikkonen in each role, first as Theseus’ disap proving, nascent-feminist wife Hippolita, and then as Oberon’s match, the languid love-fairy Titania.

intricate verse through pinstripesuited patriarchs, barefoot maidens in blue jeans, and psyched-to-getbusy dudes in flannel shirts. something even less subtle when the romantic comedy transgresses into physical come dy, and Helena must literally flee her suitors’ advances. As Bottom, the man who would upstage the kingdom in Midsummers play-within-aplay, Bents slick persona slides about the stage, creating a clash of grandiose and cheesy that one encounters on used-car lots, game shows and grand jury testimony videotapes. Its perfect for his over-the-top role-within-a-role. Although A Midsummer Night's Dream is widely consid ered Shakespeare’s most popular and accessible work, Lost Nation gives the play added punch through the tasteful musical accompaniment of Kathleen Keenan, lighting by David Schraffenberger and, particularly, Kaikkonen’s innov ative scenic design. Indeed, one may well come away from this production with a more lasting

overall effect is a stage visually inviting for its balance of sets and space. The floor-level thrust adds another degree of intimacy that might be lost were the performance delivered from an elevated stage.

rofessionally, On One Condition, currently run ning at Burlington’s Rhombus Gallery, is on a whole other level. While local play wrights Gregg Alan Bornstein and S. Thomas Yenchko deserve credit for their efforts — as do the individuals responsible for creating such all-too-rare venues for new work by new artists — the value of the play is largely symbolic. As two intelligence opera tives in pursuit of a rare book, Bornstein’s Alexander Bishop and Yenchko’s Francis Noble are primarily concerned with charting the object’s progress. To do this they rely on notori

full of international intrigue and the body count to show for it — sounds interesting. That the intensity of events taking place offstage is not embodied in the characters onstage seri ously undercuts character devel opment. Two cold men encounter a fictional cold world at the start of the play and leave a cold world behind at the end, without having changed much — in the world or in them selves — in the process. To give the benefit of the doubt, this may be a problem of execution, not of imagina tion. In any case, it’s an issue that Yenchko says he and Bornstein have been addressing since opening night. One hopes they’re looking for guidance in the play’s opening scene — a wordless contemplation o f sui cide. If so, there may be hope yet for bona fide drama in this overly expositional work. ®

But in his own journey, Sylvan prefers work ing with art song over opera — an unorthodox but most welcome priority in a perfor mance field not unlike major league sports, where the stars rise like balloons in a Macy’s parade. Sylvan is not shy, bookish or stand-offish in any way — his commitment to music and text, and thus to the art song recital, is driven by a passion ate desire to communicate and engage. “In so much of our world everyone is feeling excluded,” he says in a New York Times interview. “Music is a place for us all to be includ ed.” Sylvan laments a fragment ed society in which it is diffi cult to achieve “a dialogue where common elements are already known.” Least of all, it seems, in an early 19th-centu ry German lieder cycle, sung in the original language with only piano for accompaniment. Sylvan is trying to revive the solo lieder recital, generally a “non-seller” even with the clas sical music crowd. An obstacle course of esoterica, or a musi cal tour of the human soul? “A stranger I came, a stranger I depart again...As I pass by, I write on your gate, ‘Good night,’ so that you may see, I thought of you.” So opens Franz Schubert’s Winterreise song cycle, intro ducing a first-person protago nist with a penchant for — in modern terms -— vagrancy, graffiti and stalking. In fact, every one of the total 24 songs alludes to aimless journeying and loitering. Six cases lead lit erally or metaphorically to “standing silent before her house,” and in three instances the anti-hero inscribes mes sages on the gate, the linden tree, and on ice. He lurks in the woods and on the outskirts of town, travels by night, sleeps in graveyards, shuns society, is manic-depressive, suicidal and delusionary. Schubert’s poet-collaborator Wilhelm Muller sums it all up by declaring in “Courage,” the 22nd song, “If there is no god on earth, we ourselves are

“ I

gods!” It would be a gross injus tice, however, to reduce Winterreise to a vernacular out pouring of post-adolescent angst and mental illness — a predecessor, one might say, to rock ’n’ roll a century later. But the work did address a much more youthful audience than is likely to attend the Lane Series concert on Thursday night. Both Muller and composer Schubert were only 30 at the time they wrote Winterreise, and both were des tined to die young — Muller at 34, Schubert at 31. Schubert typically “pre miered” his songs privately for a circle of progressive-minded friends, and his song cycles are most significant in that they took a simple, folk-like medi um and radicalized it into a romantic art form. The com poser knew he was sick at the time he chose Muller’s lyrics, but whether that implicates his composition is a point of bit ter contention — though Sylvan believes it did. The

didn’t know how to go on.” Many of the pieces written by the composer in his final year are about an inspired inner life, but only in Winterrreise does he express such despair. Schubert himself characterized these songs as “shuddering” {schauerlich) and as having “affected me more than any others.”

An obstacle course of esoterica, or a musical tour of the human soul? Such an intense, and in many ways introversive, song cycle presents a tremendous performance challenge. Not surprisingly, Sylvan’s long-time instrumental partner is no slouch, either: David Breitman brings to the team an equally literate and historically wellinformed musicianship. He and Sylvan began working together over 20 years ago with, in fact, a read-through of Winterrreise. In a Boston Globe interview,

quality of Muller’s poetry is also up for discussion — many feel it is redeemed by Schubert. His dark and brood ing music intensifies the quali ty of tragedy and introspection through manipulating har monies and text-setting. The piano, meanwhile, sets a back ground tone throughout that implies traveling, footsteps and the passage of time. An older audience may be better prepared for the poem’s bleak journey through a frozen, indifferent landscape, with decayed leaves underfoot and a circling raven for com pany. In English it translates to “W inter’s Journey.” Only memories or delusions appear in color, and a bright hearth or window is always observed from an alienated distance. Sylvan’s personal feeling about Winterreise, he has said, is that “in some sense Schubert

Sylvan describes the work as “a cycle about the end of hope.” At the end, the protagonist meets an organ grinder and asks if he would play for his songs: “He staggers bare foot...on the ice, and his little plate stays empty. No one wants to hear him, no one looks at him.” Says Sylvan, “Imagine a composer like Schubert writ ing about a musician that no one hears, no one sees.” The organ grinder is a mad street musician often interpreted as symbol of Death, of total alienation, and thus serves as a meta-commentary on the death or dissolution of music itself. “I don’t know where David and I will be at the end,” the vocalist says of each perfor mance of Winterreise, “except that it will be somewhere frightening.” ®

erek Rawson, 24, has only recently taken up writing poetry, yet, remarkably, he has the voice of a master: clean, clear, self-assured. Seeking a voice, in fact, is a theme central and critical to the poems in the recently published collection of his work, Letter to the Reader with a Knowing Ear. Poetry appeals to Rawson, he relates, because, “it is an excel lent way for me to communicate my deepest feelings. It’s a great freedom.” But his only connec tion to the speaking world — aside from an infectuous laugh and indulgent smile — is a key

Although he is able to under stand speech perfectly and to produce sound, he can’t organize sound into language. He can move his fingers, but can’t direct that movement into writing.

Its good having a mentor, she’s a great support, a great friend and help.” Since that day, Rawson has been practicing “facilitated communication” with Porche. “I was doing a school residen cy,” she says, “when the special coordinator asked me to read a group of poems.

opposite. “I was not able to communicate until the age of 19, so I was able to focus all my ideas,” he relates. “Trust me, I was full to bursting with feelings.” Being “full to bursting” per haps has made Rawson particu larly fit for poetry. He’s philo sophical about his experiences, and about how his unique cir cumstances have affected the person and poet he is. “I have heard a lot,” he explains, “all of my life. And I have had a lot of time to sit back and think. I am a very watchful individual.” Poetry has also helped Rawson become more social. As word of his work has spread, it’s provided an opportunity for him to branch out personally as well as artistically. For instance, he attended the Vermont Arts Council’s Arts Conference ’98, during which Porche read excerpts from Reader with a Knowing Ear. “Truly, it’s been a big kind of help,” he says, “to go places and meet many other people. It’s a treat for me.” Rawson’s hand hovers above

By Rep. Bernie S anders merican taxpayers are being asked by Bill Clinton, Newt Gingrich and corporate America to con tribute $18 billion to expand the functions of the International Monetary Fund. Based on the, track record of the IMF, not only would this infusion of money not improve the currently unstable global situation, but it might even make it worse. Four years ago, when Mexico was in dire economic circumstances, we were pledged by these same people to pro vide billions to the IMF and to bail out the investors and banks who had lost money in that country. We were told that if Mexico went under, the con tagion would spread, and an international economic disaster would occur. Today, despite the IMF money, the Mexican economy is in disastrous condition. Wages are way down, unem ployment and child labor are way up, a massive dislocation in small business and family agriculture has occurred, and the Mexican Congress is now

Taxpayers should just say “no” to the

International Monetary Fund considering a huge bailout of that country’s banking system. But something else has hap pened as a result of the Mexican bailout. The reckless investors learned an important lesson: American taxpayers, through the IMF, would pro tect their loans and invest ments, no matter how stupid or ill-advised these might be. W ith that knowledge in mind, these irresponsible bankers and speculators poured huge sums of money into Asia and Russia. Last year, when Thailand, Indonesia and South Korea suffered economic meltdown, the Clinton administration,

Newt Gingrich and corporate America started chanting their mantra again about the need to bail out these speculators, and the IMF bailed out Asia. Now we have Russia. When communism fell in 1991, the Russian government received the undivided attention and guidance of the IMF and its policy advisors — not to men tion approximately $20 billion in IMF loans over the past seven years. The result? The most significant economic decline of any major nation in modern world history. In Russia today, millions of workers are unpaid, old people do not receive their pensions, and hunger and malnutrition are serious concerns. Russia’s gross domestic product has fall en by at least 50 percent; capi tal investment by 90 percent; and meat and dairy livestock herds by 75 percent. A nation that, despite its inefficient and bureaucratic system, used to be one of the great agricultural and manufacturing producers in the world now imports a majority of its food and pro duces almost nothing. And, as we all know, Russia has recent ly defaulted on its loans. A handful of people in Russia have accumulated bil lions of dollars, much of it ille gally, and have enormous

The BELT BUCKLE CH O PS BUILDER is ready when you are.

AMP-READY V ERSIO N S include a pick-up and output jack for connecting to a Mini-Amp or earphone amp. This makes it easy to hear yourself over a recording or metronome or where there is significant background noise.

of your usual instrument. You can also tune to interesting pitch combinations for creating musical grooves. Because the strings are short, weakness and inconsistencies are easy to notice and to target for improvement. Put extra miles on your fingers with the PraxAx and your rhythm hand coordination, precision, and endurance will improve. The rhythm hand generates the sound. For SPEED, TOUCH & TIME use the PraxAx by Twanger.

JA IN A S K Y KNITTING FACTORY RECORDS ~ WAYNE HORVITZ'S

WHAT UP WITH THE HO? Burlington’s Chin Ho! have practically turned into a Boston band without the inconve nience of having to live there. A clever tactic, that. Proof, for one thing, is an increasing number of gigs in the Bay State — more there than here — and for another, their popularity with the folks at Instant Magazine. The Ho! are playing at the publications third birthday party October 17 at Bill’s Bar, with frequent stage-mates Betty GOO and M issing Joe. W hat’s more, they’ve got a track — “So David Kamm Says” — on Instants upcoming compilation CD , a benefit disc (for the Doug Flutie Foundation) with national distribution. O n the home front, Chin Ho! are working on a new C D of their own, due in December. David Kamm says something on that one, too.

HELPING HANDS Anyone coming from the home state of Fred Tuttle probably knows a thing or two about farming

— if only that it’s an occupation with diminishing returns. Okay, maybe the members o f Phish couldn’t milk a cow if you paid them, but they can play music, by jeezum, and they can play it to help save American farms. T hat’s why John, Paul, George...oops! I mean Jon, Trey, Page and Mike will be lending a set to Farm Aid this Saturday, reportedly playing in the last third of the concert, which also features founders Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp and Neil Young. The live broadcast on Country Music Television begins at 6 p.m. Unfortunately for Vermont fans, though, you won’t be able to tune in unless you live in Newport — the only place in the state you can get the country station, according to a service rep at Adelphia Cable.

NOT SO STUPID I wrote recently that Burlington musician Neil Cleary/Stupid Club, now an ex-pat in NYC, has a

track on a Sponic magazine single, a project guided by Robert Pollard of Guided By Voices. Well the record is out in limited distribution, so look for it at your favorite record haunts — Cleary shares the grooves with Pollard under the moniker Nightwalker, as well as Swearing at Motorists and The Figgs. Meanwhile, the swell singersongwriter (who’s beginning to rival the prolific James Kochalka Superstar for most mentions in this column, and I swear neither of them is paying me) says he’s booked time with Peter Katis to work on “what may either become a Sudden Shame single or part of a next, greater release.” Stay tuned . . .

SINGLE TRACKS I had thought the musical mates Mark LeGrand and Sarah Munro were already married, but

noooo...the M ontpelier couple actually tied the knot just last Saturday. Congrats! . . . Due to a miscommunication last week, I erroneously stated that Adam Goldman, owner o f M ontpelier’s new Emerald City Nightclub, was the father of musician/employee Adam Woogmaster. Actually Goldman is only four years older than Woogmaster, hence...well, you do the m ath . . . Talk about all-ages — Robert Resnik and Carol Scrimgeour have one of the funnest regular gigs going: singing to the kiddies at Fletcher Free Library, where Resnik is a reference librarian (he’s also the host o f VPR’s “All the Traditions” folk pro gram) and Scrimgeour is a children’s librarian. This Saturday, the dynamic duo invite one and all to sing along at a release party for their new CD , Like the Birdies Sing. T hat’s tweet . . . Polish your balls and strike up the bands — it’s another W RU V Rock and Bowl party, next Tuesday at Ethan Allan Lanes. W ith Sheila Devine and Knapsack, there’s fun to spare . . . ( 7 )

ZONY MASH, BRAND SPANKIN’ NEW (Knitting Factory Records, CD) — The Hammond B3 organ is a nightmare to lug around, but nothing sounds quite like it. Keyboardist Wayne Horowitz always wanted to do a B3 project, and when he took a weekly gig at Seattle’s OK Hotel and real ized he could leave his instrument there, the weekly gig turned into Zony Mash. Horowitz, a long-time veteran of the New York City Knitting Factory/new music scene, named the combo after a song by legendary New Orleans funk masters The Meters. And the stew that is Zony Mash does contain a large dollop of Meters, as evi denced by tracks “Cadillac Ranch” and “Meet the Zony Mash” on their new release, Brand Spankin' New. Horowitz is joined by Tim Young on guitar, Fred Chalenor on bass and Andy Young on drums, and they form a tight unit, with chops to spare and the sense to know when to spare us the chops. Unlike your typical jazz-funk jam band who play a riff a couple of times before heading off on a journey we may not want to go on, Zony Mash have songs and arrangements, yet improvise freely within this frame. “Slide By,” the open ing track, starts with a little Moog synthesizer space-lab interlude and continues with a Jeff Beck-ish fusion section before dissolving into mosquito-like guitar from Young. The tide cut sounds like something Booker T & the MGs might have done if they were allowed to jazz out past the two-minute format of radio. On “Electric Sand Worm, Horowitz’s noodlings deflate the tense, dark mood set up by the first part of the song — why is it vintage electronica can’t seem to sound anything but comical? This playfulness is another of Zony’s charms. Overachiever Horowitz pro duced and wrote all but one song on Brand Spankin’ New, and talks of adding a marching band project to his already busy schedule — Zony being only one of his several bands. It’s gonna be tough marching with that B3. Zony mashes it up this Wednesday at Higher Ground. Burlington’s Jaina Sky open. — Paul Gibson BRIAN JONESTOWN MASSACRE, STRUNG OUT IN HEAV

EN (TVT Records, CD) — With their latest release, The Brian Jones Massacre mounts a one-band “British invasion” from their H Q in merry olde California. Here we have an American band imitating Brits, who were imitating Americans in the first place. From the Jagger-isms punctu ating “Got My Eye on You” to the “Wild Horses”-esque intro to “Maybe Tomorrow,” songwriter/head honcho Anton Newcombe wears his janglophilia on his sleeve. Claiming no good music has come out “since they invented TV in America,” Newcombe mines the late ’60s with a great deal of success, even if it does mean singing “gull” instead of “girl.” Indeed, little more than clean er production separates these tracks from their 1 ancestors. My n am i ( lami »n iiurwa » mis m ca am ana favorite cut, “Go to Hell,” begins the disc with a catchy 12-string \ \ ' ,'/ riff and multi tambourine beat. From there Strung Out in Heaven meanders along with a pleasant, loose, behind-the-beat feel. Hammond organ-dri ven songs like “Love” sound much like the heroin psyche delia of more contemporary Brits, Spacemen 3. This record sounds great — all that organ and 12-string give it a warmth that Newcombe’s mundane lyrics and occasional missteps (e.g., the heavy-handed strings on “Spun”) do little to dampen. Judging from the Massacre’s lengthy history of onstage fights, breakups and self-sabotage, sounds like there’s a good possibility of mayhem as well as fine neoretro rock this Tuesday at Higher Ground. Wide Wail open. Come early for the Kool-Aid pool party. ® — Paul Gibson

For nearly 30 years, Ondekoza— the legendary Demon Drummers— have astounded audiences worldwide with the powerful and breathtaking rhythms of the taiko drum. This exuberant 10-member company performs on giant drums more than six feet tall, as well as on smaller drums, bamboo flutes, and string instruments. High spirits and pulsing drums combine in a dynamic, highly visual traditional art form.

hough the Seven Deadly Sins were all considered to be equally damning, and the Seven Cardinal Virtues were all equally virtu ous, the artists comprising “Pictures: Seven Representational Painters” this m onth at Burlington’s Firehouse Gallery are decided ly unequal. Only one o f them, Ella Brackett, is representa tional in the typical sense o f the term, and only two o f

badly painted, to badly drawn a n d badly painted. Brackett is a representa tional painter because she seems to be primarily con cerned with rendering the world around her in an almost naively realistic manner. She apparently has little concern for interpretation, or abstrac tion. The works present an artists visual universe in very literal terms, and her small interiors o f apartm ent living m ight just as well be snap shots.

them — Brendan Killian and Craig Mooney — are consis tently intriguing painters. The works o f the others range from badly drawn and well painted, to well drawn and

Yet Brackett preserves just enough brushwork to keep the pieces from falling into the realm o f photorealism. H er unsophisticated approach would be quite refreshing if more attention were paid to composition and color. Realism need not be static and, like most o f the artists in this show, Bracketts insensi tivity to materials evident in the drawing, “Self in M irror,” demonstrates that she has yet to develop a hand as skillful as her eye is perceptive. Killian, a painter with more confidence, is a figura tive abstractionist in the tradi tion o f Francis Bacon, and his swirling brushstrokes animate his figures the way exhales ani mate a balloon. “Tom Turkey” is the most clearly Baconesque piece. The skull o f this solitary figure is pulling itself across the canvas, as its nostrils flair like gills. The calm b u t faith fully well-executed sheep and

rams o f the “Response” series highlight Killians paiq't&f^y versatility — the p'ain&ngs are progressively smaller copies of the same ewe, reminiscent o f the Scottish clones o f Dolly the sheep. Each is o f varied intensity and, though the can vas size changes in each, scale and proportion remainjche same. Killian is not yet a creative colorist, and his imagery is somewhat inconsistent — the piece “Prayer I . . . ” is definitely out o f place — but, like Brackett, he’s likely to m ature into a solid artist within several years. Craig M ooney may be there already. His are the m ost consistently good pieces in the show. T he noctur nal landscape “Beausejours” is basically flawless for its genre. Sparse light ema nating from the rural shed reads as fire on snow, and the pool o f light cast by a tall halide lamp is perfectly keyed to imply both quietude and coldness. T he painting “Intellec tuals,” and the sketch for it, are also richly spontaneous. M ooney’s felt-tip study inhab its a page o f L e M o n d e to cre ate a picture plane that sus pends its space unlike any other drawing in this exhibit. T h e gestural and lively sketch creates an Impressionistically dynamic com position to echo the Parisian them e — its high horizon and slashing lines are reiterated in the finished work. M ooney also kept the integrity o f his original sketch by lim iting his palette, a pow erful show o f restraint. His restricted range o f hues is n o t a habit b u t a choice. Such are a few bright spots in “Pictures.” Viewers can decide for themselves if there are any others. Considering the prom inence o f the venue, it’s unfortunate that the seven invited painters are not seven o f Verm ont’s m ost accom plished and m ature artists. (7)

scuba diving,” Wally explains. “You’re in a totally different world. You’re inside the earth, even if it is just the crust.” Wally, a chemist who lives in Bolton, crawled into her first wild cave four years ago. “I’d been to commercial caves, and was anxious to do some exploring on my own,” she recalls. Commercial, or “show,” caving is the sort of experience you can have at places like Carlsbad and Howe Caverns. Commercial caves have steps, lit passageways, guides, boat rides, even under ground gift shops. You’ve got your stalagmites and your sta lactites and your other geewhiz geology. But there isn’t

any challenge. Commercial caving is a tourist activity, not a sport. “W ild” caving, in contrast, is hard, grubby crawling through tight rock tunnels. It’s rappelling into pits, fording subterranean streams, unearthing new chambers, navigating blind mazes and, if you’re lucky, discovering a neat fossil, an unusual fungus or a rock with its own distinguish ing feature. W ild caving is to commercial caving what Expressionist art is to paintby-numbers. “Spelunking,” on the other hand, occupies a dubious posi tion somewhere between com-

BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE: Denise W ally and the author get down. mercial and wild caving. The bastard off-spring o f “speleolo gy” — the proper term for sci entific cave study — “spelunk ing” is what non-initiates call caving. Just spitting the word out makes them feel like insid ers. But to hard-core cavers, the S-word automatically brands any poor slob who utters it a loser, a poser, a mere caver wannabe — someone who’s likely to get hurt, and in the process hurt the whole image o f bone fide caving. As Wally puts it, “Cavers rescue spelunkers.” Besides knowing the right code words, the successful caver needs to be in good shape. Caverns like to play hard-to-get, locating them selves in cliffs and other remote areas that can’t be reached w ithout strenuous effort. Once a cave has been accessed and entered, exploring entails lots o f long-distance stooping, crawling, hoisting, wriggling and other move ments your body never dreamed o f executing before. Size also matters. Vermont Caving Association members use a “squeeze box” — a pair o f two-by-fours fitted with wing-nuts — to determine just how tight a crack they can penetrate. At five-foot two, Wally fits into a seven-and-a-half-inch space. And it’s a good thing, too. If she’d been any larger, she m ight have missed out on her recent experience at Maidstone State Park in the Northeast Kingdom. At one section in the cave, Wally entered the “chest compressor” — a passageway so narrow that she had to suck in her gut, hold her body sideways, keep her feet in the slot, and hold her arms out at her sides. The compressor didn’t just offer Wally an exciting physical chal lenge, it also provided her with an unforgettable wildlife encounter. “It was in the tran sition zone, and there were

hundreds o f daddy long-legs,” says Wally. “As we were going through the slot, they started to crawl on our faces. You couldn’t brush them off,” she adds, smiling at the memory. “It tickled.” No m atter how buff or streamlined you are, if you can’t conceive o f using the words “daddy long-legs” and “tickled” in the same sentence, then you’re probably not cav ing material. The sport’s great est challenges are mental. “For a lot o f people, it can be too intense,” Wally points out. Aside from being freaked out by spooky creatures, claus trophobia presents a major obstacle. In Wally’s experience, you can’t really tell whether caves will make you claustro phobic until you’ve tried one. “Some people get inside and they just can’t hack it,” she says. “O thers start looking around and they think it’s so cool that they forget all about being closed in.” Keeping a cool head is a m ust for even the most eager Fred or W ilma Flintstone. W ith no sky or horizon for a frame o f reference, there’s seri ous danger o f getting literally lost in the scenery. Prudent practitioners never travel solo, and they work hard at keeping their bearings. “You walk a lit tle way and you look behind you to see what it looks like,” Wally advises. “You pay atten• » tion. G etting lost isn’t the only caving hazard. Caverns can get flooded, or even cave in. In vertical holes like Weybridge Cave and Cave o f the W inds on top o f M ount Mansfield, where you drop 80 feet before hitting the perm anent ice plug, rappelling and rock climbing pose their own risks. Hypotherm ia is a concern in watery caves. Wally’s favorite location is the wet side o f Gages Cave, in New York’s Schoharie County. “It’s a chal lenging cave to get into,” she

reports, “and it has a lot of neat ‘decorations’ — stalactites and flow stone, which has a ripply, smooth effect, as if water were flowing on it.” But what she likes best about Gages, the cave woman says, is its water. “There’s one section where you’re floating along through a slot with your helmet floating in front o f you and just your face showing,” she explains, closing her hands around her m outh and eyes to demonstrate just how little air space there is. To ward off the bonenum bing effects o f a truly inground pool, a wet suit is cru cial. Wally wears hers beneath her special pink caving cover alls and over her double layer o f moisture-wicking longjohns. A hard hat or helmet is also de rigueur, as cave ceilings are notoriously low, irregular and rock-hard. The caver’s most fundamental piece o f equipm ent is light. Fancy cav ing helmets come with built-in headlamps. O ld miners’ hats, with pre battery carbide lanterns, also work well. Responsible cavers carry back-up lights, and lights to back up their back-up lights. Wally goes one better with a back-up to her back-up light’s back-up. And, like any sensible hiker, she always car ries emergency food and water. “Even though it’s not hot,” she cautions, “you’re sweating a lot. Even the vapor from your breath can suck a lot o f water from your system.” If you’ve got the right atti tude and the appropriate equipm ent, caving is the ticket to an amazing environment, and a way to prove yourself physically and mentally. The appeal is “the challenge,” muses Wally, “and the oddity o f being in a totally different world.” (7)

Because if you do show the addresses — which the sender spent so much time and money finding — it lets any recipient o f the message respond to everyone else. In this case some amusing mes sages passed back and forth about “who knows what’s best for Vermont.” Rule #1: If you’re going to send political spam, don’t embarrass your recipients by sharing their names with the whole world. O u r next thought was, “So who’s sending this spam, any way?” There, right in the

Simply put, it had Jack McMullen written all over it. Rule #2: If you’re going to send political spam, make it be from someone who lives in the state where the race is taking place. Rule #3: Don’t send politi cal spam at all. It doesn’t work; all it does is annoy people. If you’re the first one to do it in your state (and let’s give McMullen credit for that, at least as far as we know), you may get a little “Gee, isn’t that cool” response. But by now you’re more likely to piss peo ple off, which presumably is not your intention. This is not to say that the Internet, the World W ide Web and e-mail don’t have impor tant roles to play in politics. It’s just how politicians use

where people are talking about your issues. It could mean advertising on Web sites specif ic to your area, though that isn’t likely to do much in Vermont, where there is still plenty o f face-to-face contact. At least one pundit is con vinced, however, that the Web is going to make a big differ ence in some election cam paign. Phillip Noble o f Politics O nline said in The N ew York Tim es this year: “We’re going to see the first candidate who won or lost an election on the basis o f the Internet. It’s going to be some 32-year-old first time candidate in a statehouse or city council race who unseats an old white guy who’s been sitting there for 20 years and hasn’t even heard o f the Internet — and he’ll never see it com ing.” Noble is probably right, but our bet is that it won’t happen in Vermont.

them that’s important. Here are a few free tips on what works. 1) Have a Web site. It’s cheap, and it gives you a place to put as much detailed information

as you want about what you stand for and why you’re better than the other guy. Some Web sites are purely informational. Others are updated daily dur ing the campaign, to include pictures o f campaign stops and candidate sound bites. 2) Get people to look at your Web site. Rather than trying to cram a lot o f information on to one itty-bitty brochure, give people the general idea and direct them to the Web site for the details. Put the Web address on all campaign posters, bum per stickers, leaflets, etc. 3) If you update your Web site daily, you may be able to make it interesting enough that peo ple will want to see more. Allow folks to sign up for an email update o f what’s going on with your campaign. The Web isn’t like T V or radio. As much as advertising executives would like you to believe differently, on the Web you’re n o t going to reach out and grab your potential audi ence, cramming your message down their throats whether they like it or not. No, you have to entice them to come to you. T hat could mean creating a presence in newsgroups

Is the Maintenance Claim for Real? D ear Tom a n d Ray, M y fia n b h a n d I are interested in buying a new car. We have been impressed w ith this ye a r’s Chevy M alibu. I am concerned, however, about their boast th a t it w ill not need a tune-up fo r 1 0 0 ,0 0 0 miles. N o t only do they claim th a t the platin u m -tip p ed spark plugs w ill last th a t long, bu t they also claim th a t the engine coolant w ill last fiv e years or 1 5 0 ,0 0 0 miles, the tim in g w ill never need to be adjusted, a n d the autom atic-transm ission flu id w illyycver need changing. Is Chevy fo r real, or are they ju s t setting their customers up fo r more “unscheduled m aintenance” later? — Tom

TOM : That’s a very good question, Tom. As you know, part of this is driven by marketing. Chevy wants to claim that its cars need virtually no maintenance because that appeals to the peo ple who might buy them. After all, who wants to be taking a car in for service every few months, right? So you’re smart to be skeptical. RAY: O n the other hand, advances have been made in a number of areas which do allow you to go longer without maintenance. In the old days, we used to change oil every 500 miles. Now we recommend changing it every 5000 miles, and some people say even that’s too often. And the change is due to advances in engine technology and oil technology. So their claims are not necessarily poppycock. TOM : The answer is that nobody really knows for sure. And we won’t know for sure for another 10 years or so, until a bunch of people like you serve as guinea pigs. My guess is you can follow their maintenance schedule and you’ll probably get away with it, particularly if you only plan to keep the car for 100,000 miles. Any decent car will go 100,000 these days, even without a lot of maintenance. RAY: But if you plan on keeping a car longer than that, I’d take a little more proactive approach to maintenance. If it were my car, I’d change the oil and filter every 5000 miles, the

fuel filter and air filter every 30,000 miles, and the tranmission fluid and coolant every 60,000 miles. And I’d probably “halve” most of their other recommendations. TOM : And as for the spark plugs, if you wait until 100,000 miles before changing them, you’ll never get them out of the cylinder head! It’ll be like they’re welded in. So make sure you have somebody take them out every 30,000 miles or so and — if nothing else — at least admire them.

D ear Tom a n d Ray, I have a ’9 1 Chevy S -1 0 pickup. Is it okay to spray the w ater hose on the engine to keep it clean o f road dust? — Grant

RAY: Sure. Don’t forget that whenever you drive in the rain, water gets splashed up from underneath the truck and comes pouring in through the front grille anyway, so a little water is not going to hurt anything. TOM : Electrical connections can get wet, but the important ones are all “weather packed,” to keep water out. So unless you’re unlucky, or use high-pressure steam, you shouldn’t have any problems. RAY: I would recommend, however, just to be on the safe side, that you do your hosing when the engine is cold so none of the hot com ponents crack. That way, the worst that will happen is that one of your elecrical components or relays will get wet and will prevent the truck from starting until it dries out a few hours (or a day) later. TOM : And that may be a good thing, Grant. If you spray the engine on a Satruday morning just before you’re about to leave for your mother-in-law’s house, you might luck out and prevent it from starting all weekend.

Well hello, Nick. Uh.Jt’s a funny thing running into you like this.

What I mean is, it’s not very often that I have the opportunity to see my son’s gym teacher naked...not to mention running laps inside of a crowded grocery store.

Tell you what, Johnson...you quit smoking your way, and I’ll do it mine. Besides, I’m not naked— I’m wearing a nicotine patch.

Well what do you know...? I had no idea they made those babies in a “thong” style.

The S

Dope

A frie n d to ld me about a wom an who h ad a tum or rem ovedfrom her ovary (or som ething in th a t area), a n d the tum or h ad h air a n d teeth. She was young a n d I think a virgin, so this couldn't have been the beginnings o f a baby. H ave you heard o f this happening, or is my frie n d p u llin g my leg? . .v j, — M elGag, via A O L

All together now: Ewwwwww. No, the tumor wasn’t the beginnings of a baby. But yeah, it might have had hair and teeth. Dunno about you, but this ranks way up there on the list of things I could stand not to know. On the other hand, if you can stand to read about Bill Clinton’s cigar, you can certain ly stand to read about this. The tumor we’re talking about here is called a ter atoma. At one time teratomas (which are usually benign) were thought to originate in some sort of embryonic or quasi-embryonic cell gone wrong. But most experts now consider them a type of germ-cell tumor — in this case a tumor involving an egg. Though the egg is unfertilized, tumor-driven cell division results in a lot of the same stuff you see in a developing fetus, including cartilage, bone, teeth, hair, brain tissue, and sometimes even bowel, skull, vertebrae and eyes. It’s all chaotically arranged and bears no resemblance to an actual embryo. Nonetheless, since larger teratomas can weigh several pounds...well, I suppose all cancer is pret ty weird. But this kind is weirder than most. D ear Cecil, Why is cheddar cheese orange? D o they color it th at way, or is it p a rt o f the cheese-ifying process? I know th at cheese is made from m ilk, bu t I don’t think th a t I could make the m ilk in my fridge turn orange, no m atter how long I left it in there. W hat’s up? — C.J. Snell, Albuquerque, N ew M exico

It’s orange because they dye it orange. You knew this, o f course. The question is, why orange as opposed to, say, a nice taupe? As near as cheese historians can make out, the practice originated many years ago in England. Milk contains varying amounts of beta-carotene, the yel

low-orange stuff found in carrots and other vegetables. Milk from pasture-fed cows has higher beta-carotene levels in the spring and summer, when the cows are munching on fresh grass, and lower levels during the fall and winter, when they’re eating hay; thus the natural color of the cheese varies over the course of a year. So cheese makers began adding coloring agents. Nowadays the most common of these is annatto, a yellow-red dye made from the seeds of a tree of the same name. Dyeing the cheese eliminated seasonal color fluctuations and also played to the fact (or anyway the belief) that spring/summer milk had a higher butterfat content than the fall/winter kind and thus produced more flavorful cheese. Figuring if yellow = good, orange = better, some cheese makers began ladling in the annatto in double handfuls, producing cheese that looked like something you’d want to carve into a jack-o’-lantern. In recent years some smaller operations have rebelled and stopped using colorants. Be forewarned — according to one cheese-making text, uncolored cheese is a “sordid, unap petizing melange o f dirty yellow.” But at least its real. A related question: W hat’s the deal with so-called process cheese and cheese spreads such as the infamous Velveeta? They’re not completely synthetic, as some believe; rather, they’re made by mixing and heating nat ural cheeses and emulsifiers, producing a “homogenous plastic mass.” (I am quoting from my cheese book, you understand.) While we gourmands may sniff at such stuff, it does have the advantages o f uniformity, long shelf life, and comparatively low production cost, no small achievement in a world where many are glad to have any cheese at all.

Try this: Put your self inside the skin o f your Libran friends; imagine, as they do, that there’s joy and value in seeing both sides o f every story.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-M ay 20): In the G reek m yth, Perseus resolved to kill M edusa, a m onster so hideous that all w ho looked upon her face were turneerto a e trt stone. To help Perseus out, the goddess A thena gave him a burnished shield whose surface shone like a m irror. W ith it he avoided gaz ing directly at the snake-haired one, focusing instead on her reflection as he sneaked up and pounced. I m en tion this tale, Taurus, n o t because I th in k you’ll be facing anything remotely as dangerous as M edusa. But I do suspect you’ll have encoun ters w ith distinctly unbeautiful influ ences, and I hope th at you’ll approach them w ith as m uch stealth and strategy as our hero.

But I urge you — in fact I dare you — to explore the burning, itch ing, healing bliss available outside the niches into w hich everyone wants you to stuff yourself.

Dear Lola, I'm a healthy, welladjusted, divorced man who occasionally enjoys dressing in drag. My ex wife knows and u n d er stands. My 13-year-cld daughter, "NiTia," spends occasional weekends with me, and until last week, she thought I was storing the dresses te r a triend. Last time Nina visited, however, an acquaintance cuted me to Nina. The peer girl was speechless, and I was completely tongue-tied. We’ve spoken on the phone since, but haven't mentioned The Incident. Nina's next visit is approaching, and I'm terrified. How should I handle this situation? - Out in Cdexx Dear Cut, With the same honesty and love you display in yo u r letter. Though this acquaintance had no business opening your closet door, you should consider this an opportu nity to stop hiding and lying with y o u r daughter, and to teach her an im portant lessen in toler ance. First, by all means, speak to y c u r ex-wife. Then prepare fo r a visit that may be painful, but will ultimately lead to a much closer relationship with Nina. And ju s t think of the fun y o u ’ll have, as she gets older, borrowing each other's outfits! love
