— KrisGammon, via AOL You're not'the first person to think of this. Hyperthermia, as its called, is one of the oldest medical treatments in the bdok. Prior to the invention of antibiotics it was the standard therapy 1 for syphilis and many other infections. One obvious drawback: A fever of 108 degrees would not only kill the cancer, it'd stand a good chance of killing the patient. That detail aside, the basic idea is sound. Lab experiments have shown that heating cancer cells to 42 degrees Celsius (107.6 Fahrenheit) kills them and, in addition, enhances the effectiveness of chemo and radiation.

Dear Cecil, If cancer cells are killed at 107 degrees, why don't MDs simply create a fever of 108 degrees in the body instead of pushing chemo and radiation therapy, which create further medicalproblems?

[GREER SHOCKER I

The building is the U.S. District courthouse on Pearl Street in Burlington and, as far as Billy 1 Greer is concerned, the Fat Lady hasn't entered | the building yet, let alone started warming up 1 her vocal chords. I Billy the Kid's lost some weight since taking • up residence at the federal prison in Raybrook, §New York, and he was sporting | a lousy prison haircut Tuesday as | he and his co-defendants took I their places in the courtroom. It ® was a very big day and wives S and kids were in the front row. | Judge William Sessions | rejected the arguments of the g prosecutor, David Kirby, and ^ordered that each of the 12 S members of the jury, which conIvicted Greer & Co. on May 31, | be brought before him one at a _ time to ascertain if juror mis^ conduct tainted the verdict in S the biggest drug trial in | Vermont history That great I extravaganza is scheduled for J December 5. Asked for a reaci tion to the decision, Wavey | Davey gave the standard "no 1 comment." I On June 18 Inside Track broke the news that Juror #1 — i j o h n Baker of Essex Junction — j confirmed he was the brother of | the "Bobby Baker" that the government's star snitch, Michael 1Johnson, testified had done I drug deals with the defendants. Turns out Baker | told the rest of the jury that, too. And he told B them he'd gotten phone calls asking him to go • easy on the boys. And at one point he told his " fellow jurors he couldn't believe he was allowed i o n the jury in the first place. But on his juror questionnaire, Baker | answered "no" to the question about having rela| tives or close friends who'd been accused of a crime. 1 And every single day of that 10-week trial | the judge asked the jury if they'd had "any con| versations with other people or among themselves concerning the.case." And every single day all the members of the i jury said "no". | If Billy the Judge determines there was | "actual bias," he'll toss out the guilty verdicts _ and order a new trial. • Can Billy the Kid be that lucky? i The Jock Shock — It really sunk in Monday | morning when yours truly turned the FM dial | to 106.7 — no Corm and the Coach. It was an empty, Elevator From Hell kind of feeling, s Later Inside Track caught up with Coach 1 Tom Brennan and his attorney, Francis X. | Murray, in City Hall Park following their lunch i at where else? — The Rusty Scuffer. They'd met Monday morning with Mike Bussiere, the i new marketing manager for Burlington | Broadcasters Inc., but with Francis X (no rela| tion to Malcolm) on the clock, the boys weren't I saying anything other than what they had for lunch. Francis X had a cheeseburger and fries. 1 Coach had the soup. Said he's trying to slim | down. | The issue appears to be whether Coach was I "fired" last week when Bussiere told him after h the Wednesday morning show not to come 3 back for the rest of the week. Sources say | Brennan wants to stay on the airwaves. Stay | tuned on that one. I Steve Cormier, as he said on the air, decid® ed to quit. Gave 30 days notice. It was all over i the TV news that night and Corm kept saying, | "It isn't about the money."

I can under the circumstances and completely at ease with my own self-imaee. "Fit the century/' said the designer Valentina Schlee, "Forget the year." Truer words were never spoke. Now, every two weeks or so, I just run the lawn mower OVer my head, and presto! — instant identity, instant "look," instant freedom from deciding what image I want to project. When my friends tell me I've gone "very gay" all of a sudden, I answer that IVe done nothing but reveal myself in my natural condition, and that this is my final statement in the fashion department. I'm in my classical phase. God knows it took me long enough. But IVe reached a point in my life where disguises are no longer necessary. If I have any secrets left from the world, they're a secret to me, too. All this by way of saying that I w o n t be wearing a costume for Halloween — IVe been spooking people enough as i t is. Just as the surest way to make someone uncomfortable in conversation is to look him squarely in the eye when you talk, so the revelation of your true personality, under almost any circumstances; is guaranteed to upset the social balance of power and scatter the meek like so many 10-pins at a bowling afley.

The sad truth is that

the more yourself

b a n d ^ g o n s . And this is true no matter wfe^e they foil on the political spectrum. Any nation that can be bamboozled by the Promise Keepers and Seven Years in Tibet all in the same month has surrendered any claim it may once have had to independent thought — indeed, to thought of any kind. Don't bother to contradict me on this — I know what I'm talking about. Two years ago on Halloween, still nervously adapting to an openly gay identity in my home town, I put on my best tuxedo and went down to Pearl's for the annual festivities. When people asked me who I was "supposed to be," I answered brightly, "Julie Andrews in Victor/Victoria." I thought I was being funny. The fact is, I look great in a tuxedo, and that was the only reason I wore it — I didn't want to go home alone. Since everyone else that night was dressed either as a Navy cadet or as Dorothy in Ozy I thought I should at least have won a prize for originality. But I didn't. And I didn't... u m . . . well... you know, either. The sad truth is that the more yourself you actually are, the more you're going to scare people, especially in a gay bar, where the first rule is to make believe you're there for some other reason than the one you are there for. It's the same thing now when I tell people that I'm an "AIDS humorist" — it clears the room in seconds flat. I've recently started a column for POZ magazine, the glossy national forum for HIV information and treatment issues. It's a kind of Glamour for the doomed. I've been given permission to be as irreverent as I like about the grimmest subject I can think of, and it's done me a world of good.

ou might expect something a bit more macabre from the de facto head of horror at the University of Vermont — a sickly pallor, a

writer who, despite emotional problems and a severe drinking problem, managed to churn out a remarkable quantity of prose, poetry and literary criticism before his death at age 40. "There were many Poes," Magistrate attests. "One of them was the horror writer.

THE GURU sweaty handshake, a touch of eyeliner, maybe, refashioned into a contemporary scholarly version of Gomez Addams. And lots of black, of course. But there is nothing even remotely ghoulish about 45year-old Tony Magistrale, who, in a striped polo shirt, acidwashed jeans and white Reeboks, looks more like a drive r's-ed teacher than a worldrenowned gothic guru. But looks can be deceiving, especially among vampire types. Magistrale's works on Flannery O'Connor, Edgar Allen Poe and — gasp — Stephen King have made the English professor a national expert on books that go bump in the night. "The fact is, we have as much in common with the demons as we do with the angels. The medievalists knew that," Magistrale says of his Luiuciial literary bent. "It is when we deny the dark side that we leave ourselves open to being corrupted by it. The gothic' is about making us constantly aware of what happens when people ignore, or do not sufficiently acknowledge, their darkest impulses." There is plenty of pestilence in Dante. But applied to literature, the term "gothic" refers to a style of fiction that popped up 400 years later, in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. A reaction to the Age of Enlightenment, the genre exploded the myth of an ordered universe with dark, supernatural stories focused on forces beyond our control. From Europe, the "gothic" spread to America, where it was willingly contracted by Nathaniel Hawthorne, Herman Melville and especially Edgar Allan Poe. "The gothic has always been about flesh," Magistrale says, " Dracula is about puncturing flesh. Dr. JekylL and Mr. Hyde is about transformative flesh. Flesh is absolutely critical, which is one of the reasons the gothic has always been ballyhooed in academia. It is very much about the physical as well as the psychological." Although he knew his way around a decomposing body, Poe specialized in literary mental cases — no doubt drawing on his own personal experience.

One of them was the philosopher. One of them was the detective. One of them was the hoaxster. One of them was the comic." Between bouts of destitution and instability, Poe managed to invent the modern short story. C. Auguste Dupin, his protagonist in "The Purloined Letter," paved the way for Sherlock Holmes. . But the filmy blue "vulture eye" is what sticks in the minds of readers. Poe's best horror stories were written in first person, according to Magistrale, who co-authored an annotated bibliography of Poe published earlier this year. "His great contribution to the gothic was a psychological edge," Magistrale says, "and making us aware of place, linked to personality." In the claustrophobic "The Cask of Amontillado," for example, "he took the sense of space that is slowly being narrowed in the gothic novel, and narrowed it further. That circumscription of space is absolutely critical to understanding Poe," Magistrale says. He also advanced the notion of a psycho-obsessive narrator. It is hard to read "The Tell-Tale Heart" without thinking of Hannibal the Cannibal in Silence of the Lambs. "Poe's tales thrust even the reluctant reader inside the demented psyches of characters," Magistrale writes in the introduction to the Poe Encyclopedia, "which forces the reader into an uncomfortable intimacy with the characters that is somewhat analagous to the role occupied by the viewer of the horror film. Both audiences are shocked into an awareness of their essential passivity and vulnerability in a dark cosmos."

each other," he says. "The two of us would sit in the alley and look at these wonderful Victorian houses and tell ghost stories to each other. We would make up stories about what was going on in those houses." Aunt Katherine was also the first person to introduce Magistrale to Poe, reading her favorite works — "The Tell-Tale Heart" and "The Raven" — in a "wellmodulated voice," as Magistrale puts it. Her influence earned her a dedication in his fourth book of 13, The Dark Descent: Essays Defining Stephen King's Horrorscape. Magistrale also credits the Catholic church for his gothic sensibility. A stint as an altar boy and years of Catholic school, he says, "would have been enough to warp anyone's consciousness." Magistrale was at Allegheny College on a football scholarship when he "crossed the threshold," as he puts it. As a sophomore, he enrolled in a

one. It was a natural transition to Southern gothic and the works of Flannery O'Connor — the subject of Magistrale's doctoral dissertion at Pittsburgh. "Flannery O'Connor was very fond of many of the writers we are talking about, particularly Poe," Magistrale says. Like him, she was particularly interested in the relationship between horror and humor, and how the two "slide in and out of each other," Magistrale says. But like most writers, O'Connor did not exactly advertise the fact she was pro Poe. While French symbolist poets like Baudelaire and Verlaine were singing his praises and translating his works, American literati dismissed Poe as a hack. The perception is that "the horror genre doesn't do what literature is supposed to do, which is uplift," Magistrale says. "But good horror is like tragedy. It's about

made this speech before. But his interest in the literary legacy of Poe is a lot easier to back up than his course on the contemporary writings of Stephen King. Magistrale is one of about four professors in the country teaching the literary canon of the best-selling Mainiac author who once likened his own book to the "literary equivalent of a Big Mac." It may not be easy making a case for Children of the Corn. But Magistrale, who has written or edited five books on King and describes him as "a major American writer," contends his works are not gory potboilers, but complex multilayered examinations of our collective fear. Take Dolores Claiborne, for example. Magistrale has been arguing for years the book belongs in a women's studies course. "One of my favorite critics, Leslie Fiedler, has said when people look back at our era, King is the one they'll be reading," he says. "He has managed to capture the pulse of contemporary American life." It may take a bit more time getting academia to come around. But Magistrale, who was promoted to full professor Continued on page 14 page

" l e a n , believe I'm

going to a city like this without a plan," says bluesman Mark Galbo of his impending move to San Francisco to join his sweetheart. But the Californiaborn man has a plan for how to culminate seven years in Burlington, several of them spent "pointing microphones and plugging people in" at Cactus Cafe's open mike nights. This Thursday he'll be recording a live show — two of 'em, actually, at 9 and 10:30 — for a CD that will serve both as a farewell gift to friends and fans and, he says, "a personal celebration of my time here." The tracks will feature originals and traditional covers, including Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen from his Nebraska period — a favorite of the Cactus staff. Galbos bolstering his acoustic guitar with some other local talent: Jim Pitman (who plays with Jamie Lee & the Ratders) on pedal steel, lap steel and dobro, and Mark LeGrand on electric bass. Chuck Eller will do the honors on the board. While the $11 admission might startle folks used to no-cover open mikes, it's actually a bargain — you get a copy of the CD. "I'm hoping to get support from all the people who know me," says Galbo. "I'm closing a significant chapter of my life."

B'LIZ TRAVELERS As reported on these pages earlier, Belizbeha has been the subject of an on-theroad documentary for the PBS program, "Extreme Close-Up," as "seen" through the eyes of singer Kadiatou Sibi. The show is expected to air next spring. But we're not talking boring "The Real World" shots of the band squabbling over front

seats in the van. Belizbeha has been wailin' on stages up and down the coast, opening for the likes of '80s funk legends Morris Day & the Time and Maceo Parker. They also squeezed in their second appearance on "Breakfast Television" in Toronto — a 5:30 a.m. load-in is not something I'd want on camera. The acid-jazzers head out West by end of year, including a New Years Eve bash in Telluride, and will, uh, penetrate California for the first time. Meanwhile, Charlie's Dream continues to sell and land on radio playlists in the strangest places... Two chances to hobgoblin with B'liz on home turf: this Thursday at Metronome with Fat Mama, and Halloween night at Stowe's Rusty Nail.

SINGLE TRACKS

Burlington's other fishy band, Guppyboy, got a thumbs-up review in the "Jackpot!" section of CM] magazine — happily from a reviewer the band doesn't even know. Colin Helms dubs Jeffersonville "easy-come-easy-go beauty"... Anyone happen to catch Simon & Garfunkel in Burlington, Vermont, in 1968? According to the October issue of Ice, The CD Authority, the dynamic folk-rock duo recorded three songs live in our fair city — "Overs," "A Most Peculiar Man," and the Everly Brothers' "Bye, Bye Love." These appear among 15 previously unreleased tracks on a new S&G boxed set from Sony Legacy...Whither the future of the Burlington Music Conference? Local musician/entrepreneur Tom Baggott has grabbed, or created, the reins for a bigger, better conference next summer — and is starting a nonprofit called The Burlington Music Mission. Meanwhile, Burlington City Arts is sending out questionnaires to find out what we thought of their conference last month, and how they should proceed with the next one. Does this spell an embarrassment of riches for the music scene...or what? Stay tooned. (7)

UVM's Medical Department serves up lunch-time lectures that are tar from appetizing

EAT YOUR HEART OUT hungry for knowledge, you can relieve the daily grind by throwing some finger food into a brown bag and sampling Thursday's Beaumont Medical History lecture at UVM's College of Medicine. This week's speaker is visiting professor Dr. Robert Johnson, and his talk is guaranteed to be more than mere brain candy. Its juicy title: "Cannibalism: Is It Good Nutrition?" Johnson — who should not be confused with Dr. Robert Johnson, the Burlington knee surgeon — acquired his taste for the topic during the Second World War, when he worked with the Arctic/Desert/ Tropics/Mountain Survival Research Unit of the U.S. Army. "When a problem came up somewhere, we had to solve it," he recalls. "If people were getting frozen feet in the Arctic, we'd go up and discover they didn't have good boots. If

The seasoned physician will also cater to the publics appetite for information about kuru, the variety of spongiform encephalitis contracted by the people of Papua New Guinea, where funeral rituals used to include eating the brains of dead relatives. Johnson will spice up his presentation with slides. Thursdays offering isn't the first Beaumont talk to bite into a gutsy issue. Two years ago, people swarmed into Given Medical Building to hear Dr. Raymond Kuhlmanns lunchhour lecture about a doctor who successfully attacked a patient's leg infection by letting a legion of hungry maggots graze on the putrid flesh. That same year, Lane Series Director Jane Ambrose struck a respon-

EAT YOUR HEART OUT Continued from page 11 doctors as expert witnesses, and Dr. Dieter Grump, who will talk about infectious disease in Kenya on November 13th. Dr. Lester Wallman, who organizes the lectures, says that although the series is open to the general public, its primary purpose is to help medical students become "more rounded" people. Johnsons culinary question seems particularly wellsuited for this purpose. His talk is also unusually apt for inclusion in a series honoring early American medical researcher William Beaumont. Beaumont was an army surgeon in 1822 when a 19-yearold civilian named Alexis St. Martin came under his care. St. Martin had been shot in the stomach, and though Beaumont managed to save his life, he was never able to heal the opening the bullet left in his stomach. The doctor took the patient into his home and gained his consent to conduct a study of the human digestive system, using St. Martin's breached belly as his laboratory. "He'd put different foods in the stomach through the hole, tie a string around them and pull them out to see which ones got digested faster," Wallman explains. "This was revolutionary work. Nothing like it had ever been done so systematically i%itfdrit published his findings in 1833, making his book the first piece of worldclass medical research to come out of the new nation. Though Beaumont was born in Connecticut and conducted his most famous work in Michigan,

Vermonters claim him as a native son because he received his apprenticeship and his license to practice in St. Albans, Wallman says. In his honor, the road running past IJVM's Given Medical Building was named Beaumont Drive. Since 1933, scientists here and elsewhere have been adapting the research method Beaumont stumbled upon serendipitously. At the Department of Animal Sciences at UVM, researchers regularly install "fistulations," or specially designed windows, in the sides of selected steers, according to Senior Research Technician Ray Palmer. These openings are used to collect samples from the steers' stomachs to "get a handle on digestion," Palmer says. You can tell when these experiments are in progress, because you can see the fistulated steers grazing contentedly along Spear Street with their unaltered cousins. They seem completely oblivious to the rubber stoppers that stick into their sides and keep their digestive juices and body heat from leaking out.

on't expect Johnson to come right out and call humans good lunch meat. When asked if he recommends cannibalism from a stricdy nutritional standpoint, he waxes philosophical. "We've got a culture that says cannibalism is wrong," he points out. "There are tribes where it's not wrong." He then goes on to blur the distinction between cannibalism and cannibalizing. "In the medical profession, we're always transfusing blood. Instead of drinking it ourselves, we give it to someone else. We're always

transplanting organs into patients on the grounds' that it will do them good. The medical profession has adopted the practice." That's a strong statement, and one that many may find somewhat hard to swallow. UVM medical ethicist Arthur Kuflik points out that most people make a clear distinction between harvesting an intact organ from one recently deceased person and giving it to another for the same function, and carving Uncle Charlie into chuck roast and chowing him down. Cannibalism is not acceptable as an ongoing practice, Kuflik says, because "it treats people as mere resources." Kuflik is very clear on the question of cannibalism's impact on the soul, at least within Judeo-Christian society. But is eating somebody good for the body? "Near as I can make out," Johnson says, "it has the same properties as beef." That would translate into two to three servings a day to maintain a healthy diet, accord-

ing to U.S. government recommendations. So which parts of people make the best eating? "The muscles," Johnson guesses. "Though soi recommend the liver. It ti tes good and it's easy to cook." And what does human taste like? Johnson's answer to this question may be the most startling finding in his research. Contrary to what you might expect, Johnson concludes that human probably does not taste like chicken. ® Robert Johnson lectures in Hall A, Given Medical Building, at the University of Vermont, October 30 at noon.

"The 'gothic' is about making us constantly aware of what happens when people ignore, or do not sufficiently acknowledge, their darkest impulses." - Tony Magistrale

Kmg, "Mask of the Red Death" and the "Fall of the House of Usher," The Shining is a portrait of a classic, albeit 20thcentury, "Poe-protagonist" who loses his mind in the course of the book. You would think Magistrale chasing demons down so many long dark corridors while looking so, well, preppie. But Magistrale finds gothic literature refreshingly honest. Not just healthy, but crucial, he says. And when he gets too weirded out, he switches over to something light and sweet, "Like the obituaries," he says with a laugh. "My interest has always been " '

he expression on Little

Richard's face says it all. With heavily mascaraed eyes aimed heavenward, a young lovely planting a kiss on his pancaked cheek, he evokes in a giddy instant the almost uncontainable ecstasy that the limelight brings to those who have courted it. As such, his is the perfect image to grace the cover of Heart & Soul: A Celebration of Black Music Style in America 1930-1975, a book conceived and designed by Burlington graphic designer Bill Harvey. In many respects, Little Richard embodies the ideals and urges that propelled black music into the global pop-cultural consciousness: He is at once the sacred — the androgynous angel of gospel — and the profane — the dark agent of the latest "jungle music" hit. Written by selfdescribed "amateur musicologists" Bob Merlis and Davin Sdky, friends of Harvey's who both work in the upper echelons of Warner Bros, in Los Angeles, Heart & Soul testifies — in prose wrapped around more than 400 color images — to the enduring influence of black style on our national identity. With a nod to the deeper roots of black music, the authors pick up the thread somewhere in the 1930s, a time when gospel and blues music prospered in their own right while training an emerging generation of crossover pop talent. This included Little Richard, Sam Cooke and Big Joe Turner, whose 1954 "Shake, Rattle & Roll" — or at least Bill Haley & His Comets' sanitized cover version — virtually marks the dawn of rock 'n' roll. The obvious cultural significance of black music's crossover into white markets notwithstanding, the authors eschew heavy commentary on the changing social, political and economic context within which black music has evolved. Rather, they let the good — and bad —times roll, through smidgens of music history, anecdote, rumor and legend. One of the more bizarre tales shows up in the preface, written by the indefatigable Etta James. A legend herself, the r&b singer recalls an evening october 2 9, 1997

in Macon, Georgia, when a soul-food restaurant refused to admit her pet monkey and she accepted a young fan's offer to look after it while she ate. This "sweetest kid," she would later learn, was a then-unknown James Brown. Heart & Soul is equally strong in the setting-therecord-straight department. Heart

Turns out it was Joe Tex who invented the mike stand trick — later a favorite of James Brown and Mick Jagger — in which the stand is purposely kicked over, then caught onehanded as the singer drops to his knees. And Hank Ballard, not Chubby Checker, invented "The Twist" in 1959. As the authors write, however, the jury is still out on whether the term « i •» soul music originated with Sam Cooke's early gospel group, The Soul Stirrers, or with a vintage 1950s jazz release from Ray Charles and Milt Jackson entitled Soul Brothers. Although Merlis and Seay deny musicexpert status, the book speaks with an authority of a different sort: the ultimate obsessive-compulsive collection of music and related memorabilia belonging to San Francisco-based collector Rico

BOOKS Tee. According to Harvey, his lifelong friend, Heart & Soul was inspired by a sense that Tee's vast collection simply had to be seen. In bringing this vision to fruition, he initially culled some 600 images — album art, record sleeves, concert photos, sheet music, publicity photos, newspaper ads and magazine covers, many of them extremely rare. The son of a former graphic designer at Elektra Records (who once adorned a Curtis Mayfield album cover with a photograph of Hancock, Vermont, taken by his son), Harvey also worked closely with Gary Chassman, of Burlingtonbased Verve Editions, to develop, package and pitch the book. The visual effects of their labors are captivating, drawing the reader into what comes across as equal parts stylistic history and a flip through one serious record collection. In this respect, Harvey notes, the book may act as a collector's reference, the images offering black music aficionados a glimpse at hard-to-find first editions. Indeed, if Heart & Soul holds greatest appeal for collectors, it is probably because collectors' brains generally have room set aside for the breathless compendium of obscure names, titles, facts and triviata such as comprise even this relatively slender volume. The book's categorical rather than strictly chronological organization, however makes it difficult for the uninitiated to keep track of it all. By the authors' admission, though, Heart & Soul is not a history per se but a "visual adjunct to the very best of soul, r&b,

The mirrored wrecking ball of disco soon swung through black music's glorious house party, sounding the death knell of its golden age.

Continued from page 17 blues and jazz" — a premise that may explain why the book is most engaging when dealing direcdy with the design aspects of black style. In the later chapters, Art &c Soul and Going' Uptown, these images contrast most sharply, and poignantly, with what the text tells us of the black musician's life. Even in the absence of explicit sociopolitical commentary, it is not difficult to find support for the authors' assessment of black culture as "by necessity, oversized and largerthan-life, the liberating expression of an oppressed race." Hence the portentousness of such label names as Duke, Aristocrat and Aladdin, and in the faux aristocracy of artists like Gene "The Duke of Earl" Chandler, Litde Anthony and the Imperials, the Five Royales and assorted other dignitaries. Alas, in hindsight, Heart & Soul makes it clear — as the Afros, lapels and bell-bottoms expanded geometrically in the 1970s — that black style was reaching critical mass. If the photograph of Parliament/ Funkadelic bassist William "Bootsy" Collins, resplendent in multicolored feather crown and star-shaped sunglasses to match his star-shaped bass,

does not suggest that some limit had been reached, then the sheet music photograph for the Cornelius Bros. & Sister Rose's "Don't Ever Be Lonely," clearly must.

Whether black music will rise like a washed-up performer from the a, hes of his own excesses and reclaim lost glory, or whether it ever had or lost it to begin with, are subject to debate —• the stuff of the "scholarly tomes" that Heart & Soul expressly is not. Indeed, perhaps because the book purports neither to raise nor answer such questions, it stands as a compelling, and uniquely vibrant, testimony to the profound influence that a half-century or so of the black experience had, and continues to have, on American life.

ust a few years ago, former Vermont Speaker of the House Ralph Wright bagged a trophy soundbite when he called moose hunting "about as sporting as shooting a parked car." But when the pro-hunting lobby shot back that moose can be more evasive than a politician without polling data, few people were listening. Subsequently, the Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife resurrected the four-day season under a barrage of protests in 1993, and its been the subject of controversy and recriminations ever since. "Does the Green Mountain State consider the moose a wonder of nature and a tourist attraction?" asks a flier distributed by the Green Mountain Animal Defenders, "or does it rather consider the animals to be non-moving targets for slob hunters?" Pretty strong stuff from folks concerned with the feelings of all living creatures. "It's absolutely a pain and suffering issue," says Sharon MacNair, a Green Mountain board member. The hunt isn't about putting food on the table or even managing the states moose herd, she argues. "It's a big-game mentality and the hunters want bragging rights." "To me, it's scary," counters Cedric Alexander, moose management leader for Fish and Wildlife, of hunting opponents who argue for a level playing field. "I think it really demonstrates just how far removed we all have ten from

112 moose were killed by motor vehicles this year, compared with 100 felled by hunters. "We hunt moose because they're a renewable resource," he says. But hunting opponents like MacNair and Jon Schottland, of the Vermont Wildlife Education Network, charge that it's another kind of resource which drives the moose hunt: money. "It's kind of like the fox guarding the hen house here," Schottland says, noting that Fish and Wildlife generates much of its revenue through the sale of licenses — though moose-hunting permits are free, the department raised nearly $90,000 this year running a lottery for the 165 available permits.

This conflict of interest not only undermines the scientific validity of "official" moose population counts, Schottland adds, but it promotes "an aggressive hunt" that may ultimately kill the moose that lays the golden egg. Ask any business person in the Northeast Kingdom that relies on and they'll tell you vis"Where

Still, the sight of majestic moose as road kill, and the presence of scores of ^ moose in Essex County, lead Lund to " believe that Fish and Wildlife reestab^ lished moose hunting at the right time. ~ Lund has a plan for our excursion. We're to go to the heart of moose £ country — countless acres of wilder-< ness between Victory and Island Pond that he calls "the Big Woods." The current moose population, whatever its actual number, has rebounded strongly in the new growth in woods clear-cut by Champion International. The Champion land lies between Bull Mountain, where, legend has it, two farmers killed a bull then covered nine miles through thick woods before downing his mate. But if that cow had been half as fast as the one that dashes in front of Lund's truck on the Victory Road, those old farmers never would have had a chance. Perhaps a little disturbed that moose are jumping out of the woods before he can even do any work, Lund reveals his opinion of the female of the species: "The only thing homelier, I think, is a camel." Bulls, he acknowledges, are a different story. Whether it's the velvety racks — a half-dozen of north to search for the truth, and try to which are displayed on his barn back find out just how hard it is to shoot a home — or their sheer size, tourists moose.

oodie last three decades, Lois Foley has been one of Vermont's most versatile painters. She knows how to experiment and discover meaningful directions in her work; she has the courage to follow her instincts and break new ground within her personal aesthetic. Her works have been exhibited in Europe, and are part of many collec-

NOW WHO'S LAUGHING? Adirondack artist Fred Morgan (1913-1994) would surely get a chuckle out of the retrospective of his charming carved and % painted dioramas, currently at the Vermont Folklife Center in Middlebury. A lifelong "tinkerer" and natural recycler, Morgan began creating miniature scenes related to the doings in his hometown — including his own 50-year avocation as tuba player in the local brass band. A video affords viewers a glimpse into Morgans workshop in Norwood, New York. Right, the mixed-media assemblage which gave | this show its name. . -

Oct. 30 - Nov. 5

ARICS

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): I suppose you could dress up as a vampire or ghost or devil this Halloween. T h a t might be spooky in an ennervated, Hallmark-card kind of way. But if you'd really like to scare the living crap out of y o u r s e l f — and thereby harvest a cathartic purification — I r e c o m m e n d a more visceral approach to invoking fear. To d o that, select an image f r o m a terrifying nightmare, and use that as inspiration for your costume. But wait! Don't stop there. Add a comical touch. For instance, say you're going to dress u p as a dream you had of a naif-crocodile, half-hippopotamus monster with the face o f your boss. Finish off your look with a diaper, or a bubble-blowing pipe, or a striped stovepipe hat like that worn by the Dr. Seuss character Cat in the Hat.

TAURUS

(Apr. 2 0 - M a y 20): Don't rule out rubber dresses, strap-on sex toys or a trip to the relationship counselor this Halloween season. Be willing to experiment with togetherness, whether that means washing each other's hair while listening to Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech, or else writing poems o n each other's bodies with felttip markers while singing "Amazing Grace." May I also suggest that the two of you go to the costume ball as H o - H o , the two-headed hooker?

GCMINI

(May 21-June 20): I t s the time of year w h e n you have most power to change yourself. Let's use color therapy to take advantage of this. First of all, avoid using yellow in your Halloween costume. Yellow boosts mental agility, and your brain is already so mercurial that it can barely keep u p with itself. Stay away f r o m blue, Blue stimulates free association, a n d you're such a master

BY ROB BREZSNY+f

of free association that you sometimes become a featureless mush. Violet, on the other h a n d , would be fabulous; it'll calm and deepen you. Try greens, too; they'll influence your intellect in the direction of grounded fertility and away f r o m sterile abstractions. Can you think of a disguise that employs these two colors? H o w about a king or queen wearing royal purple and flashing wads of good old American dollars?

CANCCR (June 21-July 22): T h e rest of the world may feel a sense of smoldering gloom as the days grow shorter and nights longer, but many of you Cancerians have either already contracted a case of spring fever, or will any m i n u t e now. Halloween should serve as your perfect excuse to celebrate the licentious urges that this delightful affliction is unleashing. You men might consider dressing u p as D o n Juan or the horny goat-god Pan. You w o m e n could take your inspiration f r o m the Bacchae w o m e n , Mae West or a H i n d u slut goddess. LCO (July 23-Aug. 22): 1 think you should disguise yourself as a root this Halloween. You know, the subterranean part of a plant that sucks u p nourishment f r o m the soil and provides anchorage and support. A giant beet costume would be very hip, or maybe you could have lots of turnips and parsnips and onions hanging all over you. A n o t h e r way t o fulfill the assignment is by going as a different kinci of root: as one of f o u r ancestors, for instance, or as the person you were 15 years ago, or as whatever symbolizes the essential core of your life.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Be hard to impress but easy to love this week, Virgo. Be a peaceful warrior w h o gobbles u p challenges, not a sensible clock-watcher making endless lists of things to do. And if you have the slightest resistance to what I just suggested, use the anything-goes Halloween spirit to nudge you ever the edge. G o to costume parties disguised as a pushy Aries, or a live-for-today rock star, or a greedy S O B with too m u c h power: whatever it takes to snap you out of your tendency to ask for too little. LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): W h y d o you Librans have a reputation as the most passive-aggressive of all the signs? Probably because m a n y of you, in your maniacal drive to foster harmony, suppress your dark side so relendessly that it has to p o p out in subtle, backhanded forms. Halloween offers you a ripe opportunity to address this problem, however. By dressing u p and dramatizing your less attractive qualities, you could perform an act of magic that'll reduce your subconscious need to cover them u p with a polite veneer. May I suggest, then, that you costume yourself as one (or even all!) of the Seven Deadly Sins this spook season? Choose f r o m pride, covetousness, lust, envy, gluttony, anger or sloth.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Let's consider the word "hallelujah." It's derived f r o m a Hebrew term meaning "praise the Lord," and is used to express great joy, t r i u m p h and gratitude. All the astrological aspects tell m e you'll have a b u n d a n t reason to

utter this exclamation in the next few weeks. To aid and abet the cosmic benevolence that's now conspiring in your behalf, I suggest you choose a Halloween costume that encourages you to shout "hallelujah!" You could be a midwife, perhaps, or a brilliant inventor or successful explorer or championship athlete.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec. 21): Whenever I've meditated on what your destiny will be during Halloween week, I keep getting psychic visions of you playing chess with the devil. (Though once I saw you and him engaged in a fiery game of n u d e volleyball.) What's it mean? M y educated guess is that there's a m a j o r confrontation brewing secretly in your subconscious depths. A n d what should you d o about it? Here's one suggestion: G e t a friend to coordinate his Halloween costume with you. He'll go as the devil, and will always have a chess board and pieces ready to set up; you can be t h e quixotic but embattled knight eager to test your m e t d e — again and again and again if necessary. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Please repeat the following question after me: "Are you ready to learn t h e alpha-through-omega levels of sensual divinity f r o m a dragon master?" N o w say it five m o r e times until you've made it your own. This provocative invitation is your personal magic spell this Halloween season. Utter it frequently to any juicy soul w h o looks receptive, preferably while you're garbed in a costume that identifies you as an enthralling dragon master. T h u s will you advertise y o u r talent for comingling the pleasures of heaven a n d

earth, and thus will you challenge the Scorpio tribe for sacred sexual supremacy.

AQUARIUS

a an. 20-Feb. 18): There's n o question in m y m i n d that you should dress u p as a revolutionary this Halloween. W i t h Jupiter and Uranus n o w conspiring to overthrow every reality you've ever believed in, it makes a hell of a lot of crazy sense to go with the freaking flow. W h i c h toppler of paradigms will you choose to model yourself after? Terence McKenna? Burma's A u n g Suu Kyii? M o t h e r Teresa? Mikhail Gorbachev? Martin Luther King? Land-mine activist Jody Williams? T h e person you'd be if you were only a little braver than you are now?

PIS CCS (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): For Halloween I urge you to invoke the pilgrimage you're going to take someday. You know, the holy adventure which will reveal the missing clues your fate has withheld forever; the vision quest that will unleash the buried desires you've never quite been able to understand. C o s t u m e yourself as a Moslem headed for Mecca, or a 13th-century French m o n k destined for Jerusalem, or a shaman's apprentice seeking a sign f r o m your animal ally.

Dear Lola, My girlfr iend has an incredible

appetite tier sex.

We have sex on average three times a day and sometimes as much as six. She wants more...even

when I

am sore. In public places often embarrasses

she

me by

pulling out my penis and sometimes tries to perform fellatio on m e a t

concerts

a n d movie theaters.

If I

don't give her what she

wants. I'm afraid she'll look

for fulfillment elsewhere, even though she says she'd never leave due to the size of

my penis. Is there an avera g e number of times to have sex per day? Is my girlfriend a nympho? What's the test? Any

advice?

— Oversatisfied

and Sore

Dear Over-imaginative

Bore.

Oops! Did I misread signature?

your

My mistake!

Guess I m u s t have been daydreaming there for a minute. According to my calculations,

the average

num-

ber of times per day for having sex is

approximately

.4285714. The best test I know of for being a nymphomaniac ia to read a letter like yours and see if you want to have sex with the author. If the answer is yes, you'd probably do it with

anyone. My advice to you? Do us all a favor and save your sophomoric for your frat

fantasies

brothers.

With love,

Jjola
