REVIEW VITAL BOOKS! Thank you for publishing my letter concerning the lack of book reviews in Seven Days, and your response (Weekly Mail, September 11). I would like to pursue the subject a bit further. You say that you cover books by and about Vermonters, as if this was the only arbiter of interest for your readers. But, for exam ple, was local author Murray Bookchin’s book, Re-enchanting Humanity, reviewed upon its release? And surely there are general-interest books that you 0 0 0 0 ^ could review that don’t concern Up Vermont exclusively. By doing so you could improve the local awareness of newly published, culturally vital books. For exampie, I recently had to travel to VB&Syjgm Bear Pond Books in Montpelier to get Noam Chomsky’s latest ‘V work and the latest volume by 'W g F Project Censored, because they weren’t available in Burlington. V If these important books had been reviewed in Seven Days, it could have created interest so that local bookstores would have carried them. We all know that you can’t rely on the Free Press to do anything of this sort. It’s sad that an area supposedly so politi cally and culturally aware as Chittenden County is so poorly served by its bookstores and its journals of opinion. A semi regular book column would also perhaps spare • us from .horoscopes, tales of singing Indian thrushes and the other space-wasting fillers in which you indulge. — Christopher Booth Shelburne

A REAL EDUCATION Hey! Hey! Paula! In your article last week on dance at Middlebury College (Seven Days, September 18), were you implying that studying dance was any less real an education for Mark Stuver than other college subjects and disci plines? I would argue that dance is the most real because it reveals and uses intelligence about the whole live body/mind/spirit person. You will find dancers are people who know who they are. — Sharry Underwood Burlington SWEETSER’S GU M SH O E WASTED I could have offered Republican Congressional candidate Susan Sweetser signifi cant savings on the $5000 she reportedly spent to research Rep. Bernie Sanders’ political back ground. If the object was simply to gather infor mation on Rep. Sanders’ voting record, speeches and news articles about him, as the Sweetser

campaign now claims, I would have been happy to do the job at my usual rate of $500 a day and 50 cents a mile (I could complete this assign ment in two days, tops), and I don’t have the liability of moonlighting as a private detective in my spare time like Sweetser’s “researcher.” Moreover, if the charge was merely voting record, speeches and news articles, it would never have occurred to me to call Rep. Sanders’ ex-wifq. Presumably she has little or no informa tion about Rep. Sanders’ voting record or speeches, but perhaps Sweetser’s hired gumshoe misunderstood the assignment. Finally, had I been selected for the job, Sweetser could have “bought Vermont,” as it were, hired locally and saved a bundle in the process. But apparently the Sweetser campaign has plenty of loot to spend on out-of-state detectives. And if Sweetser didn’t know the “researcher” was also a private detective, we can only hope she does a better job of checking potential employees’ credentials in her capacity as legislative representative. To tell you truth, I might be overcharging Sweetser even at a rate of one-fifth the money she spent. Rep. Sanders’ voting record and speeches are a matter of widely published and easily available public record, which anyone can check out in a decent public library. Sweetser and her staff ought to join the information age. Virtually all of the information Sweetser says she was after is now available through the Internet. A day or two poking around the World Wide Web and Sweetser and her staff would have had more information than they could have read between now and her inevitable defeat in November. Perhaps she can spend the next cou ple of years before the next election catching up on current computer technology and spare her self some time, money and embarrassment in her next campaign. — John David Christensen Orleans

backtalk M UCH ADO ABOUT SHAKESPEARE I wish to alert the 2500 patrons of last sum mer’s Unadilla Theatre repertory to a most astonishing theater experience. Lost Nation’s Twelfth Night, now playing at City Hall in Montpelier, is the finest, funniest production of Shakespeare’s comedy I have ever seen. Only Joe Papp’s great gay nineties Much Ado 20 years ago reaches the heights of this production in my book. Twelfth Night is Shakespeare’s broadest, most accessible comedy. Director Ann Harvey has gotten strong performances from every member of her cast. Last night’s audience began laughing with the first line and was still laughing at the final curtain. W hat fun really excellent productions of Shakespeare’s comedies can be! — Bill Blachly East Calais Bill Blachly is the director o f Unadilla Theatre

Dear Cecil, on About , It said uranium is added to the use of uranium in dental porcelain for cosmetic reasons, to make the porcelain more luminous like natural teeth. It was estimated that this use of uranium causes about 2000 cases of cancer per year. I’ve since mentioned this to many dentists, but none of them had ever heard of this. Cecil, I’m counting on you to find out what’s going on here. Preferably before I need more dental work. And while you’re at it, what is the safest dental material? — Pearl E. White, Chicago :I;f f f7if;;S;;7 7 i:iy;:■ -7rLv:■7-'-; You read right, friend — an accomplishment in itself these days. In one of those classic wacky moves, manufacturers once upon a time did put uranium in dental porcelain to give crowns and false teeth that certain glow. Real teeth have natural fluorescence. If you shine a black light on your teeth they gleam a brilliant white. To give dental work the same glow, the use of uranium in dental porcelain was patented in 1942. The timing of this was suspicious. You have to wonder if those Manhattan Project scientists, toiling over crucibles of hot uranium, got to thinking, hey, if this atom-bomb thing flops we can always go into teeth. I should point out that the glow imparted to false teeth by urani um was not in itself a consequence of radioactivity. Uranium merely happens to fluoresce in the presence of UV light. Fluorescence is harmless. Lots of compounds do it. Uraniums advantage was that it would survive the high heat of porcelain manufacture. However, you did have the problem that uranium also emitted radioactivity. In the wake of Hiroshima and Nagasaki it occurred to the dental-ceramics industry that a substance that had destroyed cities might have adverse health effects if used in the mouth. Manufacturers discussed the situation with the Atomic Energy Commission in the 1950s. The debate proceeded along the following lines. On the one hand, putting uranium in people’s mouths might possibly give them cancer and kill them. On the other hand, their teeth looked great. It was an easy call. The industry was given a federal exemption to continue using uranium. In the 1970s some began to wonder if this had been the worlds smartest decision. The amount of uranium used in dental porcelain was small — 0.05 percent by weight in the U.S., 0.1 percent in Germany. Nonetheless the fake teeth bombarded the oral mucosa with radiation that was maybe eight times higher than normal back ground radiation. None of the research I came across mentioned a specific number of cancer deaths, but clearly this was not something you’d do for the health benefits. Theie was also the unavoidable fact that the aesthetic gains achieved using uranium were slight. To see the teeth fluoresce you needed UV light, and, as one study sniffily noted, “UV lamps are used mainly in some discotheques and restaurants” frequented by “only a very small fraction of the population with these types of restorations.” But come on, you’re thinking. If even one guy with fake teeth looked good in a disco, the prospective untimely demise of a whole bunch of other people was surely worth it. Even that advantage turned out to be illusory, however. Though it was claimed that the best uranium compounds replicated the white fluorescence of natural teeth, research showed that some porcelain teeth fluoresced red, violet or bright yellow. In other words, not only were you nuking your gums, but when you opened your mouth you looked like a freaking neon sign. That put the matter over the top. Numerous authorities urged that the use of uranium in dental porcelain be discontinued, and in the mid-1980s the federal exemption was revoked. Most dental porcelain sold today is uranium-free. What’s the safest dental material? One guess; real teeth. Guaranteed against silent horrors unless someone sneaks up and bites you. Brush ’em after every meal, because who knows what the dental industry will think up next? — CECIL ADAMS

gSON OF A PA IN T SA LESM A N Congressman Bernie Sanders is due to hit I the television airwaves with his first campaign ^ spot Wednesday evening on The Bern’s favorite 8 television station — WGOP, sorry, WCAX-TV. | Sanders spent $900 to buy the minute right | before Marselis Parsons and the Ch. 3 News ~ begins. The commercial, shot on film instead of ®video to give it a classier look, paints O f 8 Bernardo as a “Man of the People” — surprise, | surprise! | The 60-second spot contains scenes of Jj Sanders strolling along Church Street as well as i up at Groovy-UV amongst admiring students, | and at work in Washington as chair of the | Progressive Caucus. There’s also a quick look I back at the good old days when he was mayor of Burlington. Bernie’s touted as a guy who 1 “took on developers” and “fought for property | tax reform.” In Washington he “led the fight on | the minimum wage” and was “one of strongest ^ opponents of the Gingrich agenda.” There’s B even a picture of him and President Bill | Clinton together in the W hite House. How | sweet. In the finale Sanders is described as “the son 1 of a paint salesman who’s become one of : America’s most powerful independent voices for j working people.” | There’s not a mention about Susan ' Sweetser. Essentially it’s a posi tive image enhancer-type spot. According to the public file at W GOP-TV (where everyone appears delighted to take O f Bernardo’s money), the spot will air three times this week right before the six o’clock news and twice right before Letterman. Total cost: $3500. Now, with O f Bernardo on the box, the attention turns to Susie Creamcheese. She’s back on the air this week with what her spokesman describes as a “biographical” spot. No men tion of Sanders. But things will likely change and the question is, will Fidel Castro make a cameo appearance in future spots? Can’t wait. By the way, the folks in TV Land aren’t jumping for joy over this election. No one expects Clinton or Bob Dole to pump any money into Vermont — they say Dole’s already written it off. And, gosh and golly, our gubernatorial race is a real barn burner. Not! Ho-Ho can save his money for his U.S. Senate bid down the line. Lite-gov hopeful Doug Racine has already run his door-to-door campaigning spot. A yawner. Carroll should have one out soon. But those two guys don’t have big bucks to spend on television. Sanders v. Sweetser is the big banana as far as TV adverI tising goes. “Big Boys” in Town — For the last six years, 29-year-old Erik Smulson has been the official spokesman for U.S. Sen. Jim Jeffords. But Monday morning the Washington, D.C., native I and Georgetown grad became the official ®spokesman for Republican Congressional I Candidate Susan Sweetser. Said Smulson: “It ' was a personal decision for me.” Erik — whom we got to know two years ago during the lively Jeffords-Backus Senate race — replaces Andrea Zentz, who resigned as | Sweetser’s press secretary two weeks ago on I principle. Smulson’s appointment to Susie I Creamcheese’s campaign jstaff raised a red flag f with Independent Congressman Bernie Sanders, 1 who told reporters last week it made him “uncomfortable” to know that Jeezum Jim, one | of his colleagues in Vermont’s tiny three-man I congressional delegation, was working to defeat ^ him. i “You know, we’re big boys and this is poli

tics,” Smulson told Inside Track when asked about any hard feelings among the Vermont congressional delegation. “The political circles in Vermont are not as vast as they might be in a bigger state.” Alas! Poor little Vermont — a talent-less backwater state requiring expertise from beyond its borders. Thank god Jeezum Jim is willing to share his stable. Smulson said he’s effectively terminated as far as his job as Jeffords’ press secretary goes. No pay, no benefits. “I’m having no contact with Senator Jeffords from this point on,” said Erik. “It’s very important to keep those lines drawn. But this is a personal decision for me. i This is not a concerted effort by Sen. Jeffords.” § Whew! That’s a relief. Regardless of how things come out for Sweetser on election day, Erik assured Inside Track he will return to Washington and his job 1 with Jim Jeffords, pronto. Delaney Update — Dennis Delaney is alive and well following his defeat in the Republican ® lite-governor primary. “I wanted to try and see 8 if I could do a statewide race,” said Dennis. “I didn’t win, but we had a good campaign and we | did well.” That is, if you call losing 2-1 doing » well. To this day Dennis the Menace hasn’t called | John Carroll to congratulate him. Dennis said | that he expressed congratulations and best wish- j es to J.C. when Ch. 3 showed up at his house on primary 1 night. Dennis has taken the semester off from St. Mike’s and g has season tickets for Navy foot- ™ ball at Annapolis, where his son * is a midshipman. He’ll be back. Radar Sighting — Inside g Track’s political early-warning radar screen has been picking i up a new blip on the Vermont f scope of late. At first it was too faint a reading to make a posi- | tive identification, but now the ® signal is getting stronger, and 1 this UFO has been identified. It g belongs to Mr. IDX himself: Richard Tarrant. Richie’s got „ more money than God and ® recently bought the palace in the middle of the Burlington | Country Club from the Society | of St. Edmund. Tarrant’s radar 1 blip is still on the outer edges of ! the scope, but insiders are paint- § ing him as a guy who would g like to be called Senator Tarrant, » as in U.S. Senator. The next opening is in 1998 when St. Patrick’s up for re- S election. Interesting. Busted! — Sunday night’s congressional debate g on Vermont ETV was lively, informative and entertaining. Democrat Jack Long had the best i line, saying there’s one thing Rush Limbaugh’s § said that he agrees with: “We as Americans all g owe Ronald Reagan a debt which we will never be able to repay.” Still, it was not a pretty sight seeing Liberty I Union candidate Peter Diamondstone getting j arrested trying to enter the House chamber. g Will he sue Vermont ETV? we asked. “You bet your sweet ass,” he replied. Media Notes — Ch. 5 reached all the way out § to the Rocky Mountains to find a replacement g on the morning anchor desk for Stephanie Gorin, who’s jumped to the Fox station in Albany. Lori Rothman, a USC grad and Los 1 Angeles native, had been working at a station in g Grand Junction, Colorado. Bon chancd On the video-free radio waves, WDEV news t. director Bobby Kyle departed this week for a marketing job at Bolton Valley. Yep, snow’s com- § ing. Next to step up to the hallowed microphones g of Ken Squires’ Radio Vermont News operation p in Waterbury will be... the envelope, please! Andrea Zentz. Talk about landing on your 1 feet. □ 1

RUSSIAN ROULETTE:

The Cold War may be over, but street musician Sasha Kazachkov felt a draft last Friday night. The Russian folk singer was busted on Church Street by an offduty immigration officer who correctly identified his accordion as a bayan. A permanent resident of Burlington’s Russian Sister City, Yaroslavl, Kazachkov had as city-sanctioned — but not fedapproved - —permit to play music for profit on Church Street. "I didn't really expect Kim to have illegal status, but when he explained, I couldn’t exactly ignore it,” says Inspector Jim Lockwood o f Essex, who was dining with his wife when he heard Kazachkov singing outside. He gave the Russian five bucks for his fine playing, then hauled him down to the station. No doubt his wife was thrilled to end a roman tic evening at the cop shop where Kazachkov got “processed.” Border patrol was similarly psy ched to find a benevolent busker in custody after driving an hour and a half from Swanton. “They were like, ‘Man, you need a hobby,’” says translator Eugene Nikolaev, who plays with Kazachkov in the band The Fags. Despite the fact that Kazachkov has overstayed his visa, Lockwood gave him 30 days to leave the country voluntari ly. So much for sisterly love.

BACKTALK BY

SEVEN DAYS

Nothing like a little comic relief after banging out the budget. U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy is Hollywood-bound this weekend for his biannual Batman fix. The high-ranking Gotham groupie has been wild about the Caped Crusader since childhood. He has done voice-overs for the syndicated cartoon on Fox, wrote the forward to the anthol ogy Batman: The Dark Knight and cycled in costume to the Washington opening of Batman Returns. In Batman Forever, with George Clooney, Uma Thurm an and Arnold Schwarzenegger, the politican had a small walk-on part “at least twice the size of the last one,” he promises — maybe even with a few lines. Leahy may have played a larger role in luring the film crew to Vermont. At his urging, and follow-up from Travel Commissioner Bobbe Maynes, Warner Brothers signed on for six days of stunt work at the Rock o f Ages Quarry in Barre. “I think a big company like that, once they see how friendly Vermonters are, will come back with something else,” Leahy suggests. In February? “Actually, it might be the end of January. Same difference. They’ll freeze their asses off.”

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT:

Will the real Capital Music Group please stand up? O r stop any other company from con fusing us by using its acronym? In the past three days, Seven Days has received two faxes from the former partners of the record label-artist development group with designs on Burlington. And now there are two, each proudly declaring independence on differendy designed C.M .G. letterhead. Producer-engineer Scott MacPherson, of Saratoga Springs, writes he has “severed his relationship with Cameron Eppler, Marvin W olf and M artin Guigui because they seemed com pelled to pursue their own personal agenda without regard to the goals and directions of C.M .G. I had set prior to the their involvement in the company.” Cameron Eppler of W hite River Junction counters in his own missive, “Scott MacPherson has left C.M.G. Music Ltd. to pursue new opportunities,” although none of those appear to be Burlington bands. Everyone who was negotiating contracts with Capital — the Jalapeno Brothers, The Pants, Chad Hollister, Tokyo Storm W arning — are now on board with Eppler, W olf and Guigui. “My fear with Scott was that he would want to engineer my record, and change the way I sound,” says Hollister. Pants manager Dennis Wygmans was also concerned. “He seemed Like somebody who wanted to get in there and do it his way. It is much more heavy-handed than a lot of indie people would want to deal with.” MacPherson says he is still interested in Burlington bands, at least shopping them to other labels. “Ifth ey sign a deal with Cameron and Marvin, good luck. If they don’t, it’s open sea son.” Ready, aim, hire.

FREDHEAD UPDATE:

Vermont filmmaker John O ’Brien finally cashed in on his college connections. The direc to ro f Man With a Plan landed a spot for Fred Tuttle on “Late Night with Conan O ’Brien” — the segment will air Thursday after midnight. The O ’Briens, who are not related, went to Harvard together. Says the filmmaker, “This could be our big break” □

Based in Norfolk, Virginia, First Hospital runs a chain of pri

vately owned psychiatric hospitals and treatment centers. It also specializes in delivering mental health care and substance abuse treatment at lower prices — a hot item for governments and businesses looking to cut health insurance costs. First Hospital donated $2000 to Governor Howard Dean’s 1996 re-election campaign. That’s a hefty gift by

“It’s a fact of life: The peo ple who give the biggest amounts of money tend to get more of what they want out of government than people who don’t give,” said Paul Hendrie of the Center for Responsive Politics. The non-partisan group based in Washington, D.C., tracks money’s influence

in government. “In general, the people who give are making very rational decisions when they’re giving,” added Hendrie. “They expect to get something and usually do get something.” The out-of-state special interests tend to put big money behind these rational decisions.

large health maintenance orga nization that has expressed interest in doing business in Vermont. Anheuser-Busch Companies and The Grand Union Co. were each good for $2000. The United Food and Commercial Workers kicked in $6000. Even Enterprise Rent-A-Car’s politi cal action committee kicked in $1000. The list goes on and on.

ean is hardly bashful about raising this money. He’s been to Chicago to hit up colleagues at the American Medical Association, and to Washington with his palm open to the lobbyists of “Gucci Gulch.” It’s all part of keeping his job. And even Dean admits this money talks. “People who think they’re going to buy a contract or buy some influence are mistaken,” Dean said in an interview on his car phone last week — on the way home from a fundraiser in Rutland. “But they do get access — there’s no question about that. They get me to return their phone calls.” If First Hospital’s Ronald Dozoretz were in Montpelier to watch the leaves turn, for exam ple, you can bet he’d get in for a visit with the governor. That’s not an opportunity the gover nor personally extends to every Vermonter. Dean says donors get only access, not influence. “My poli cy is my policy,” he said. “It’s not going to be affected by campaign donations.” Hendrie of the Center for Responsive Politics said access and influence can be one in the same. Most of the time the art of politics is invisible and incre mental. A deleted word or a comma in a bill, a thought planted in the head of a gover nor — they can make big dif ferences to a lobbyist or special interest group. “Just getting the access is a significant thing,” Hendrie explained. “Elected officials are limited — there are only so many hours in the day and only so many phone calls they can take and only so many visitors they can see. The people who give m oney... have an advan tage that many ordinary citizens

to win another term as governor, 71 percent came from out-ofstate supporters, according to a Seven Days computer analysis of 1123 contributions to the gover nor’s campaign through September 24. The donor list is loaded with money from organized labor — at least $31,000. It also reads like a Yellow Pages of corporate America. Although Vermonters outnumber con tributors in other states by a four-to-one margin, the out-ofstate donations from individu als and corporations are far big ger — and they add up fast. Dean has raised more money from pharmaceutical companies (at least $9000), for example, than he has from all contributors living in Montpelier ($8630), Rutland ($7655), Shelburne ($6365) or South Burlington ($3915). Dean, a physician, also receives healthy support from the health-care industry: $1000 from the American Nurses Association, $1000 from Columbia HomeHealth Inc., $1000 from insurance giant CIGNA and $2000 from United Healthcare Corp., a

Listen for the lyrics and you hear a womar with a Suzanne Vega-esque voice who happens to be a Jewish les bian feminist with a message-ori ented, confessional approach to song-writing. Singer Sonia Rutstein no longer harmonizes with her sister Cindy Frank, wh< left the band to be a full-time mom, but her own voice and vision are a testament to the band’s bold monicker.

TRUE BELI EVER John Stewart fans can be hardcore. Vermont Coffeehouse organizer Jack Honig reports that one woman is flying over from London to see the cult hero next week in Burlington. After all, the man’s been a part of, and made his own, history: He replaced founder Dave Guard to become one of The Kingston Trio, the group that spearheaded the early ’60s folk fever. He penned The Monkees hit, “Daydream Believer.” He scored a film depict ing NASA’s quest to reach the moon; attended and wrote songs for the Freedom marches in Selma, Alabama; accompanied Robert Kennedy during his ill-fated presidential campaign. But Stewart’s accomplishments — and accolades — didnt end with the ’60s. He’s continued to write, record, tour and provide songs to others — like Roseanne Cash, Nancy Griffith, The Beat Farmers, The Four Tops. A folkie-with-a-conscience original, his album, California Bloodlines, was considered by Rolling Stone one of the best 200 records of all time. Find out what all the fuss is about next Tuesday at Contois Auditorium. Chad Hollister opens.

LUCKY STRI KES Reasons to love Let’s Go Bowling: that upful beat, that skin-tight horn section, those fab boy harmonies, that manic organ — and, of course, that perfectly silly band name. Like most ska bands, Californias Lets Go Bowling is more fun than a first-grader’s birthday party, as their second Moon Ska CD, Mr. Twist, deliriously reveals. If you miss their party-on con cert at Toast this Wednesday, don’t say I didn’t warn you. With Cherry Poppin’ Daddies and Reel Big Fish. Bowling shirts not required.

Its something that shouldn’t be minimized.” Establishing a direct link between a campaign contribu tion and a political decision is virtually impossible. And in Dean’s case, there’s even evi dence that the joke is on his contributors: Some give and probably get absolutely nothing in return.

Take the American Gaming Association, which gave $1000 in spite of Dean’s unwavering opposition to casino gambling. Anheuser-Busch gave $2000 even though Dean once pro posed taxing beer to pay for health-care reform. Dean him self says one trucking company gave regularly — until he refused their request to run double-bottom trucks on Vermont highways. The truck ing company stopped giving.

epublicans care most about fiscal matters; Democrats are primarily concerned about social issues. That’s a simplistic view, of course, but in the Chittenden County State Senate race it is possible to distinguish the can didates of the two major parties generally along those lines. Asked to cite the single most important reason they were seeking election, most of the six GOP nominees spoke of controlling the cost of state government and stabilizing or reducing tax rates for business and individuals. The half-dozen Democrats, on the other hand, mainly talked of improving education, reforming the health-care system, and protect ing Vermont’s environment. Some similarities can also be discerned among all 12 con-

tenders for the county’s six Senate seats. W ith an average age of nearly 59, the field is noticeably gray and furrowed. Four of the candidates — three of them Democrats —- are 70 or older, while another is only two years shy of that mark. The youngest aspirant, Republican Kurt Wright, recently turned 40. Wright, an employee at Kerry’s Kwik Stop, is also the only candidate who can be described as having a blue-col lar occupation. The 11 others are either professionals, full time politicians or retired busi ness executives. Five of the candidates — three Democrats, two Republicans — live in Burlington, while three others are South Burlington residents. The field is equally divided Left to right: Jack Barry; Helen Riehle and David Curtis.

Brownell, a supporter of the suggested spending ceiling, argues that better-known candi dates, such as himself, usually achieve their fame by winning elections. “I earned it,” declares the former mayor of Burlington. “A lot of people who complain about high name recognition could also build it for themselves.” Despite the large number of potential free-spenders, the race isn’t shaping up as a financial extravaganza. Most of the pledge refusers say they’re hav ing trouble reaching the sug gested maximum for contribu tions, let alone exceeding it. W ith three incumbents — all of them Republicans — not seeking another term, the out come of the race is difficult to predict. The at-large setup, with all 12 candidates running coun tywide, also gives the contest a lottery-like “pick-six” character. Two of the currently seated

Montpelier. Having received nearly as many votes as Snelling in the Republican primary, Brownell is considered a likely victor in the general election. He enjoys the sort of one-two combina tion — a solid base in liberal Burlington and strong appeal in the conservative suburbs — that Wright may potentially be able to duplicate. The New North End City Councilor is also a familiar figure in the South End, and his reputation as a nemesis of the Progressives could win some votes for Wright in Essex, Shelburne and South Burlington. Democrats David Curtis, Johannah Leddy Donovan and Janet Munt all have sizable bases of support in their home town of Burlington. Each, how ever, faces a formidable chal lenge in suburban and rural

Vermont. He supports public financing of elections — including a new tax to pay for it. A bill that taxed advertising to help finance elections died in the Vermont Legislature this year. Any new campaign finance legislation needs to close — or at least expose — a loophole that allows individual and corporate contributors to skirt a $2000 limit, says Toby Young, a former Vermont House member and lobbyist for Common Cause of Vermont. Political action committees have a $6000 limit.

So Vermonters who noted die $2000 contribution to Dean from Financial Innovations Inc. of Providence, Rhode Island, would have no way of knowing that Mark Weiner of Providence, who also gave Dean $2000, is the company’s president. It’s all perfectly legal, but Young says it is suspect, “I do think that one ought to have some principles about where the money is coming from,” she said, “and how it’s getting there.” □

f writer Robert Burton was right when he declared all poets mad, somebody should tip off Nora Mitchell. She’s the Burlington poet whose stable trappings — a career in her field and an established foothold in the literary world — fly in the face of today’s academic downsizing and anti arts sentiments. At 40, she’s a college administrator-teacher with a no-nonsense reputation. Her consistent voice in jour nals around the country, like Sou’wester, Sojourner and Calyx, have earned her praise. Booklist calls her style “like W hitman out of breath” — and made her a Pushcart Prize nominee. Not that success has been easy. As head of Goddard College’s graduate writing pro gram, Mitchell is a veteran of last year’s now infamous bat tles, the outcome of which are a skeleton faculty, programs in peril and the ouster of a con troversial president. Those struggles — which, claims one faculty member, “Nora got us all through” — are enough to make you wonder how Mitchell continues to prove Burton wrong. This week, Mitchell gives us some clues, with the release of her second book, Proofreading the Histories. Through pointed, sensual lan guage, Mitchell reveals a life kept in perspective. W hether relating personal joys or natur al phenomena, her own tragedies or those on a global scale, she displays an intelligent awe of her experiences. There’s a balanced dignity to it all; cel ebrating what the author has — love, a body, safety — while trying to make peace with what she has lost: political innocence, friends to cancer and AIDS, or her mother, to lupus, when Mitchell was five. Never a simple exploration of feelings or why-me musings, this collection is a neatlywrapped package of insights, all tied up and ready to go — to the mind, heart and senses. “I think poems matter in the world,” Mitchell explains while petting her big black

parts of the county, where they are either relatively unknown or seen as urban liberals. Republicans Oliver “Tut” Parmly of Richmond and Joe Zagursky of South Burlington have the opposite problem: strength in some outlying towns and little backing in Burlington. Party-line politics could be a key factor in determining win ners and losers on November 5. Some Republican candidates are stressing the need to maintain GOP control of the State Senate as a counterweight to the House and the governor’s office, both of which are likely Lefi to right: Jan Backus, Joe Zagursky, Kurt Wright, Jean Ankeney, Janet Munt, Barbara Snelling, "Tut" Parmly, Peter

to remain in Democratic hands. Preserving the Republican majority in the Senate may hinge on the party’s ability to retain its 4-2 edge in the Chittenden County delegation. For their part, Democrats argue that reforms favored by many voters — in regard to property taxes and health care, for example — will remain out of reach unless their party erases the G O P’s current 18-12 advantage in the State Senate. Following is a synopsis of each candidate’s positions on selected issues, including wel fare reform and suburban retail development of the Wal-Mart variety:

•D* Jean Ankeney, an unalloyed liberal, says she worked espe cially hard in the 1995 Senate session for a program to ensure that all first-graders would be able to read at their grade level.

She faults a Republican-con trolled committee for blocking the initiative. Ankeney is currently touting a property tax overhaul devised by the League of Women Voters. It would reduce real estate tax rates, as well as the school system’s reliance on that source of revenues, by enabling towns to institute a local income tax. “It does anger me to see the inappropriate size of those stores going up at Taft Corners,” the Williston Democrat says. “It’s almost as though the town has been raped by special interests, although I realize the develop ment is taking place as a result of a local vote.”

•D* Jan Backus rejects “carpet bagger” accusations by noting she lived in Chittenden County for many years before moving

to Windham County, which she represented in the State Senate. Backus also points out, in response to another attack, that she never called for legaliz ing drugs and had instead sug gested during her race against Jeffords that this possibility deserved serious study. “The need for experience and good judgment in the State Senate” are key reasons why voters should support her, Backus says, especially at a time when Washington is devolving power to the states. “We must continue Vermont’s commitment to take care of everybody,” Backus declares, noting she chaired the Senate committee that designed the state’s welfare revisions. “If we’re going to tell recipients they have an obligation to work,” Backus says she argued at that time, “then we have an obligation to provide day care,

transportation and jobs.” The 49-year-old Winooski Democrat does not believe that the county’s environment is deteriorating. The Act 250 process has been significantly improved in recent years, she says, adding that the Act 200 growth-control law has proven “toothless” because it is “under funded.”

•D* Jack Barry’s campaign is focused, he says, “on looking ahead to the 21st century in Vermont, which is when our children and grandchildren will be living most of their lives.” Preserving the state’s environ mental quality will attract “good, clean businesses” that will, in turn, require well-edu cated workers, Barry reasons. Improving and streamlining the school system should take precedence over property tax reform, he argues. Barry favors

comprehensive testing of stu dents and thinks “doing the same with teachers might be a good idea.” The 70-year-old radio per sonality finds the changes in Vermont’s welfare rules to be “compassionate.” Child care must be made readily available to former recipients seeking work, even though its costs are “off the wall.”

•R* Peter Brownell, a former fiscal analyst at General Electric, says he’s looking for ward to a role in recomputing state aid formulas. The 48-yearold technology learning special ist at UVM says property tax reform should be designed to help towns with a small com mercial base, since centers of private employment, such as Burlington and ski resort towns, are receiving “a form of state aid” under the current real estate tax system. Brownell also plans to focus on eliminating what he describes as a “$40 to $50 mil lion state budget deficit” that has been masked by means of fiscal sleight-of-hand. “Emp loyers know they’ll be the ones targeted for higher taxes if spending continues to exceed revenues.” Brownell speaks enthusiasti cally of Burlington-Charlotte commuter rail service. It affords the county “a rare opportunity” to guide development in accor dance with a mass-transit sys tem. Vermont should definitely move ahead with this plan, Brownell says, even though “I don’t see the environment dete riorating significantly in Chittenden County.” •D* David Curtis wants to become a member of the State Senate partly in order to “help restore civility and cooperation” to that body. Some senators seek office mainly “for ideologi cal reasons and have less con cern for serving the people of Vermont,” the 58-year-old Burlington attorney finds. Curtis also intends to resur rect health-care reform efforts. Consumer protections are espe cially needed, he says, citing “the need to preserve the patients’ choice of physician in HM O s.” Pointing to his record as a human-rights advocate and his past service as Defender General, Curtis says, “Vermonters know me in many different roles,” including that of a gay man. In response to a question about his acknowl edged infection with the AIDScausing virus, Curtis notes that he is running for office “based on consultation with my physi cian and family.” He would not have sought a Senate seat if his health did not permit it,'lie says. The 3 percent reduction in welfare benefits enacted by the legislature “may not seem like q c t o j D e r , 2-. , 0 . 9 9,6,

much,” the progressive Democrat says, “but it can make a difference in meeting necessities.” The money should be restored, he says, warning of “the negative impact” on Vermont of even deeper cuts in federal food stamp allotments.

•D* Johannah Leddy Donovan describes property tax reform as her top priority. The League of Women Voters’ proposal “has merit,” she says, urging adop tion of a statewide system as a means of insuring more equi table funding of Vermont’s schools. Having raised six children

“A lot o f people who com plain ab ou t high nam e recognition could also b u ild it fo r themselves. ” — -

ill Vermont, the 52-year-old adult educator worries that “there aren’t enough work opportunities here.” Donovan says the state needs to become “more business-friendly without sacrificing our environmental laws.” Employers should perhaps be given tax credits for hiring former welfare recipients,” the Burlington Democrat suggests, in part because “I don’t think we’ve sufficiently funded pro grams for making the transition from welfare to work.” Big-box development at Taft Corners is “just outrageous,” in Donovan’s opinion. “I hope what’s happening there will at least rejuvenate our determina tion to prevent it from happen ing elsewhere.”

•D* Janet M unt points to her “50-year experience in making health-care programs work” as a key qualification for office. “I can help see to it that Vermonters get better results for their tax dollars,” comments the 73-year-old director emeritus of the Visiting Nurse Association’s maternal and child health unit. Investing additional sums in education and social services “will save the state money in the long term,” Munt argues.

Provision must be made, for example, for “the increasing number of children who arrive at school with mental health problems.” “The state’s economy,” she declares, “will grow only as strong as our children grow.” The scale of development occurring in parts of the county is an indication of “how the teeth have been pulled from Act 250,” the Burlington Democrat declares.

•R* Tut Parmly, a 70-year-old retired General Electric engi neer, also makes education a top concern, though from a very different perspective. Claiming that “a politically cor rect agenda” has infiltrated the public schools, Parmly wants to “restore academics to teaching.” Schools’ involvement in “values clarification” programs “isn’t helping prepare students for jobs,” the Richmond Repub lican says. “Problems with Act 250” are among the reasons why “businesses have a difficult time opening and operating in Vermont.” At the same time, Parmly voices sympathy for “the mom-and-pop stores that are driven out of business by large corporations” that situate franchises in Vermont. Welfare reform has been largely positive in Vermont, Parmly believes, contending that recipients are still eligible for some $40,000 a year in federal^ash payments and bene fits. •R* Helen Riehle says voters should return her to the Senate for a third term on the basis of her “leadership skills and ability to broker consensus on difficult issues.” Reforming the state’s adoption laws and chairing the committee responsible for wel fare revisions are two of her major achievements, the 46year-old South Burlington Republican says. Vermont’s wel fare reform legislation is “more thoughtful and more humane” than the recently enacted feder al law, Riehle believes. If sent back to Montpelier, Riehle plans to scrutinize “a state budget we really can’t afford” due to the “pretty flat” condition of the state’s econo my. •R* Barbara Snelling assures Vermonters she continues to make a “rapid recovery” from the cerebral hemorrhage that nearly killed her earlier this year. She is under “no restric tions whatsoever” from physi cians in regard to physical activ ities. As lieutenant governor, Snelling says, she has demon strated “an ability to work in a bipartisan manner to create leg islation.” Her experience in government would be put to

T hough few artistic interpretations can beat the magnificence o f the view outside, plenty in this exhibit give it a try — Marilyn Ruseckas’ oilpastel and Ann Cady’s oil landscapes stand out for sheer vitality and visionary color; Gilbert Browne’s m iniature etchings at Cambridge, England, and Phyllis D em ong’s “July Peak, ” oil on can palladium -print pho vas by Eleanor Daniels. tographs do so for their richness and clar ity. Dozens o f works here evoke the natureinspired tranquility that is the raison d ’etre o f this show — in fact, some are completely soporific. But oddly enough, two artists whose works do not specifically bow to nature are particularly engaging: David Bumbeck, whose marvelous eso teric prints appropriate medieval female figures, and C hristopher Solbert, whose towering steel sculpture boldly greets visitors at the entrance. — Pamela Polston

arco Boyajian is a “habit ual.” By his own account, that’s a person who goes to the movies regardless of what’s playing. Soft-spoken and bespectacled, the unassuming 38-year-old owner of Showtime Video in Burlington’s Old North End looks like he might have stepped out of a movie himself — a Woody Allen movie, that is. Thin, restless and preppily dressed in a blue Oxford shirt and tan pants, he paces the store straightening the alreadystraight video displays and shyly

stores. Along the way, he continually refined his film knowledge. After clerking at Showtime on Pearl Street five years ago, he moved to Manhattan and worked at Blockbuster stores throughout the city. He then returned for a stint at Showtime on Shelburne Road before taking over his own store last March. Here offbeat and cult favorites are more likely to fill the shelves than multiple copies of the latest Schwarzenegger hit. No one at Blockbuster Video would have the guts to recommend a new Indian

slew of “Director’s Cut” films not avail able on television. He proudly mentions that over 50 laser discs are available at his store. These discs are superior to tapes, he says, because they offer “a better picture, better sound and they frame every thing in wide screen.” For musicals, he’s got everything from The Commitments to Janis and Zoot Suit, starring Edward James Olmos. And there’s the very offbeat Theramin, about one of the strangest instru ments, and its inventor, in music history. “His stuff is quite a bit bet-

evinces a wide-ranging knowl edge of film that has intrigued his customers during the six months he’s been open. “The late ’60s, especially, were the last gasp of old-fash ioned Hollywood,” says the elfin Boyajian, recalling the time his preoccupation with film began — at a summer movie theater on Fire Island. “One of the first films I remember seeing is a movie called The Art o f Love, by Norman Jewison, a contract player at Universal.” But it was actress Elke Sommer who caught his eye and turned him on to movies. His parents helped too. His father worked in television news and docu mentaries; his mother is a film teacher at Columbia University.

movie called God as My Witness and describe it as “a Clint Eastwood Italian Western meets an Elvis Presley movie, Gone With the Wind crossed with Pulp Fiction.” Boyajian is more likely to stock Faces, A Woman Under the Influence and Shadows, by John Cassavetes — “the first inde pendent masterpiece,” accord ing to Boyajian. New releases like Cafe au Lait — described on a poster as “Woody Allen meets Spike Lee in Paris” — co-exist in the same small space with the classic They Were Expendable, the not-so-classic Fair Game, starring Cindy Crawford and a currently popu lar rental, Women from Down Under, Award-winning and Lesbian Shorts from Australia and New Zealand.

His “collection itself is not as much an insult to one’s intelligence as the vast majority of stores,” the customer says. Alyx Lyons, an employee at the Onion River Co-op, concurs. “He knows a lot about alternative films, and he’s seen them.” Not surprisingly, Boyajian finds plenty of filmic fault with Hollywood. Since the early ’80s — the era of smashes like Road Warrior and 48 Hrs. — Hollywood movies have had “all the humanity squeezed out of them,” Boyajian contends. “A new genre has developed with no emotional connection.” In his own way, the filmmeister tries to re-establish that connection, one customer at a C ontinued on page 2 4

ARI€S

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Thinking of getting hitched? O f signing on the bottom line? O f marrying your fortunes to those of a new tribe, guide or accomplice? It’s not a totally outlandish notion, though I wish you would let your alliance ripen a little before going all the way. Perhaps you would consider a trial marriage — a shortduration bond which would give you the chance to simulate foreverness without actually pledging your eternal soul. Promise me that you’ll at least whip up the equivalent of a prenuptial agreement, complete with a provision that neither of you will ever blame the other for anything. T A U R U S (Apr. 20-May 20): Research by neurophysiologists suggests that singing at the top of your lungs helps flush metabolic wastes from your cerebrum. I mention this because the astrological time is ripe for a full-scale attack on dirt, decay and debris, and there’d be no better way to start than with a good, thorough brainwashing. So please, by all means, belt out all your favorite oldies in the shower or car or karaoke bar. T hat should prime you to clean the hell out of the rest of your life. G C M I N I (May 21-June 20): Harvest time may be almost over in much o f the Northern Hemisphere. But there are still some blooms that are just now reaching their peak of ripeness and fullness. Pumpkins, apples and walnuts are, to me, among the most beautiful bounties — along with the tribe known as G em ijiif j ^ , sweet and pleasing to the eye, you folks are ready to be plucked, CANCCR (June 21-July 22): WhUe

you’re in the most crab-like phase of your cycle, I thought you’d like more crabby lessons. 1) Crabs are skilled at scavenging for food. (You’ve sometimes got to be creative and adaptable when it comes to nourishing yourself.) 2) Crabs are expert at masking and camouflage. (Be proud of the fact that you’re a master of disguise. It’s an important facet of your self-protective strategy, and allows you to be as complex as you need to be when oversimplistic people try to practice their gross reductivism.) 3) Crabs are smarter than they appear to the casual observer; some are even considered tool-users. (In some ways it’s a drawback that people underestimate your intelligence; but you can also use it to your advantage, especially now.) L € C (July 23-Aug. 22): You’re quite likely to come down with a case of the blithering blathers this week. I don’t want to invoke the pejorative phrase “verbal diarrhea,” because I don’t think your symptoms will ever get that bad; and besides, I don’t want to inhibit your fluency one whit. In fact I’d love to see you express yourself to the max and beyond, even if you sloppily surpass your limit now and then. N othing would be better for your soul than to let slip all the best-kept secrets that have no business being hoarded any more. V I R G O (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Warning: This weeks horoscope contains scatological references that may offend those o f you who aren’t doing what you’re supposed to be doing.

Drop everything and attend to the first signs that domestic bliss is beginning to unravel. If you dawdle, you may find yourself in a position as compromising as the one I did. A Q U A R I U S (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Is happiness really nothing more than the relative absence o f pain? If so, you’ve probably had a big taste of it lately. But if you’ve got the gall to pursue a more consuming bliss, I advise you to do it now. Add some peachy minty chocolatey spikes to your vanilla comfort. Try the roller coaster, not just the merry-goround. Yes, I know you may worry that by asking for more you’ll risk losing what you’ve already scored. But this is one week when the astrological powers-that-be will work hard to help you exceed boundaries that are no longer necessary. P I S C C S (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Recently a friend of mine found herself, to her shock, locked in a lovers’ quarrel. She and her companion rarely clash, yet there they were squirming in bed after midnight, obsessively clinging to an argument that barely made sense. During a lull, they noticed that the wind outside had grown from a mere bellow into a shrieking, banging howl. Alarmed by its violence, they turned on the radio, where they discovered that Hurricane Fran had come closer than expected. Their ire instantly dissipated; their angry trance broke. , d been ■ channeling They saw they’ the storm, inappropriately translating the elemental force into their personal drama.

you’ve been forced to spend your playtime. None of the above, however, should be construed as giving you the right to cast aspersions at innocent bystanders. S A G I T T A R I U S (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Once upon a time I was politically correct. Now a more apt description of my beliefs might be politically cracked. Not that I’ve renounced my vividly leftist ideals. Jesse Jackson and Ralph Nader are still my heroes. It’s just that five years ago I vowed I would try hard not to dehumanize the people I disagree with; that I’d strive to understand why they feel the way they do even if they wouldn’t think of returning the favor. I highly recommend this approach to you, by the way. Not simply because it’d be a nice thing to do, but because it would be very pragmatic. Consensus-building will be far more important than being right in the next few weeks. Leading your tribe out of the wilderness will be much more fun than arguing in the swamp. C A P R I C O R N (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Recently, I violated a long-standing vow and purchased a domestic accoutrement from a cable TV shopping channel. Now I am the humiliated owner of a material possession I desperately do not need: an elegant .ironwork toothbrush caddy. My only excuse is that the mood in my home had grown distinctly messy. T hat’s what A „—

refined to do the work fate has assigned you, stop reading now. I apologize in advance for telling the truth. The gross fact of the matter, Virgo, is that the task ahead of you bears a certain resemblance to polishing a turd. I know that seems impossible, but if anyone can do it, you can. Proceed with caution, bemusement and your usual alacrity. L I B R A (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In honor of the comic yet noble vibes infusing you (and sometimes confusing you) during your birthday season, I’m turning this horoscope over to two of my favorite Librans, Mahatma Gandhi and Groucho Marx — both born October 3. Take it away, Mahatma. 1) “The only tyrant I accept in this world is the still voice within.” 2) “Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it.” 3) “I believe in equality for everyone, except reporters and photographers.” And now for Groucho. 1) “A child of five could understand this. Fetch me a child of five.” 2) “I don’t care to belong to a club that accepts people like me as members.” 3) “The secret o f success is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake those, you’ve got it made.” S C O R P I O (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Because of your rather taxing astrological aspects, you’ve been given Official Permission to hurl a stack of dishes against a wall. In , addition, you’re granted a poetic license to fling rocks towards heaven, darts at pictures of your nemeses, pies into 'rrx,,r rvarn and curses at

EXTREME MEASURES**** Director M ichael Apted just shot up a couple o f notches in m y book. N o t only has he fashioned an > unexpectedly effective medical thriller, hes managed to do so in spite o f casting the globes most annoy ing actor. Hugh Grant stars as a young doctor on the fast track. He’s just been awarded a fellowship, and his brilliant career is a foregone conclusion — that is, until he starts asking questionas about a hoitteless patient who exhibited bizarre Symptoms before he suddenly died and disappeared. All at once, everyone around him seems to be part o f a sinister conspiracy, and it isn’t long before the golden boy’s lost his job and the police are on his trail. . -

As countless TV-magazine reports have informed us, what real-life doctors do in this situation is move to a new town and practice under a false name. In conspiracy thrillers, however, they always stick around to crack the case, as though they minored in Police Training at college. That’s exactly what Grant does here, reaming up with some homeless g^iys, uncovering a subterranean society of the dis enfranchised and, ultimately, unmasking the mad scientist behind a plot to use street people as lab rats. JUST WHAT THE DOCTOR ORDERED The wormlike, over-mannered and fussily coiffed Grant Squidlike Brit Hugh Grant attempts is dragged through a cesspool of a subway catacombs, to inject some testosterone into h is f smacked around, and even fired upon, but that’s not why I liked this film.

There are several riveting moments, and a lot of funny ones, too, in this uncommonly well-written picture. The direction is snappy, and Danny Elfman’s music pumps up the spookiness. Apted’s menacing medical thriller works despite its terminally milquetoast lead, and that makes the measures he took more than extreme. It makes them heroic.

While you're savoring the paragraphs below, keep an eye open for the titles of 15 motion pictures which we've woven into the literature... The wedding wasn't going real well. "Who's that girl I saw you singing Barbra Streisand songs to downstairs, ratboy?" my fiancee was yelling at the top of her lungs. Sybil had just completed her regal procession and joined me at the front of the church when, without warning, she started cracking up. "I'm marrying the wrong man!" she shrieked, turning to face our 200 guests. "I have nothing in common with

"Today is the first day of the rest of your life" plaques, which came clattering down off the wall. Then she yanked the wedding ring out of my hand, took off her high heels and screamed, "Real men know how to treat a lady like me!" So do psychia trists..." my best man started to say in my defense, but before he could finish his sentence, Sybil mooned our friends and family, revealing a large Harley Davidson tat too I had never seen before, yelled, "I'm off to Brazil!" and ran barefoot into the street, singing the "meow, meow, meow" song from that cat-food commercial. That's when her father stood up, came over to me and said, "Don't feel too badly. You're the third man she's done that to." © 1996 Rick Kisonak

1996

The third time is definitely not the charm for this latest update of Akira Kurosawas 1961 masterpiece, :e, Yojimbo (A Fistful of Dollars was far superior). But it is an interesting and occasionally diverting experi ment. \ Bruce Willis is the Man With No Name this time, a hired gun on the lam and en route, it goes with out saying, to Mexico. In the entire history of the Western, the gangster film and film noir, has even one person ever made the decision to lay low in Canada? Anyway, the story is set .in the ’30s, though the dust-blown Texas town Willis pulls into one after noon is straight out of a John Ford cow classic. The tumbleweeds tumble down dirt streets. The sun bakes the paint off Dodge-reminiscent facades. And all the decent folk have fled, leaving the dried-up hole to a pair of duelling gangs who manage to operate flourishing boodegging empires even though there’s only one saloon in town. Willis initially stops by for gas and a breather, but when some hoods advise him to keep moving and trash his vintage ride, he unpacks his circa ’90s automatic and pumps lead into the offending thugs. Which immediately gets him hired by the other side and kicks off a game of mercenary ping-pong, which escalates as he switches his allegiance back and forth to the highest bidder. Director Waiter (48 Hrs.) Hill has seen better days, though he’s made worse films (Another 48 Hrs). Willis is enigmatic and combustible. The camerawork evokes a cool High Noon-metts- White Heatatmosphfere. Ry Cooder's score is:spiffy. The weak link is the writing. Though d& town is bloated with antiso cial individuals, not a single one is interesting or original. Christopher Walken phones in his performance as the town’s most pitiless killer, and both the Irish and Italian gang bosses are routine ethnic caricatures. The biggest mistake: When a man-of-few-words finally speaks, its vital that he have something to say. Willis is limited to dialogue that never transcends low-grade noir. Last Man Standing has its moments, but it would’ve been a lot more fun if those anomalous guns were the only thing he shot off.

p R e vie w s THE GLIMMER MAN The gimmick in the latest from humorless Steven Seagal (aside from a dorky

Nehru jacket)? Humor. This time around he’s a detective teamed with — are you sitting down? — a reluctant, ill-matched partner played by Keenan Ivory Wayans, Seagal’s studio is promoting this as the action star’s entry into comedy. Evidently, no one there caught his directorial debut, On Deadly Ground. MIGHT DUCKS 3 He’s written screenplays. He’s directed on a bigtime Hollywood set. Who would’ve guessed Emilio Estevez would end up best remembered for this lowbrow hockey comedy franchise? This time around the Ducks take on a snooty prep school. BIG NIGHT Campbell Scott and Stanley Tucci co-direct this low-budget, high-calorie saga about a family-run Italian restaurant in 1950’s New Jersey. Isabella Rossellini co-stars. KANSAS C I T Y Looks like the Savoy’s as close as Robert Altman’s ode to the ’30s, gangsters and jazz is going to get to Burlington. Harry Belafonte heads an ensemble cast. Joshua Redman and Craig Handy jam their period parts off.

— Dressed her regrets in Essex Dear Regrets, Adolescence is one big dress rehearsal in which we all try on dihherent personae her size. And it’s often not until early adulthood that we realize we picked the wrong one. I am not the same person now as I was in high school — nor do I have the same sexual identity. Incidentally, I never wear skirts or dresses (or carry a purse), because I think they all interrupt the natural lines oh the body. But ih the dress hits, wear it. your choice oh apparel, however, will not determine your sexuality, you can stop yourselh from spending $200 on a gown, but you can’t stop yourselh from being gay. But ih you don’t want to call attention to yourselh, leave the hrock on the rack. Our hriend at BHS hound that making a statement makes a ruckus. Freedom oh expression, as he discovered, does have its costs.
