Generally Peter Kurth [“Crank Call”] and I are on the same wavelength about things. But now I’m tired o f rants about Dubya and California. Peter, you need to get back to skewering the idiots amongst us. You know the type — they think they can get real news from Fox, M SN BC or C N N . A good rant about the couple that brings their sniveling kid to a concert because a ticket is cheaper than a sitter is in order. A rant about the dick less wonders who buy an H 2 and pretend they are A hnold or are cruising for Osama would also be welcome. These idiots are the ones that should be heading to Canada (preferably the Yukon) rather than us sane people! I think there’s enough idiocy near us to fill up your colum n for a while.

VERIFIED AUDITCIRCULATION

VIDEOS ABOUND? I am writing to express my con cern about the large conglomerate encroachment on Essex Junction’s video rental scene. Showtime Video has been a long time element o f the Junction. M any people know that when the weekend is rainy and the children are getting restless, a trip

to Showtime is the perfect cure. Until now. T he Movie Gallery, with its vast corporate funding and cookie-cutter selection o f films, is threatening to remove the privilege o f choice from us. I, for one, would like to see the wonderful collection o f old clas sics, special interest films and for eign titles stay current and avail able. T he Movie Gallery is the third-largest chain o f video stores in the country. It specializes in taking over areas served by momand-pop stores and driving the com petition out o f business. Its Web site claims its m otto is “We will be the dom inant source for video rental in the U.S.” W hile it is fun to rent a Star Trek film and watch the Borg threaten to assimilate the heroes, it is quite another to see this happening to a quality, local, small business. Showtime has always been a good neighbor... I have already heard people say, “Well, th a t’s just the way it is,” and “T here’s nothing I can do about it.” T h at is simply not true. To support local business is to support our own com m u nity. T he money spent at local shops stays in the area. T he profits are not skim m ed out o f our neighborhoods and shipped to some out-of-state corporate

headquarters. We w ould also do well to rem em ber that often when local com petition is destroyed, corporate chains have a captive m arket to set the prices as high as they wish while supplying the same boring H ollywood top 20. Well that’s it. I need to get off my soapbox and go watch Spencer Tracy and Audrey H epburn spar together. After all, I don’t know how much longer I will be able to rent them ...

BUTT HEADS After reading Ken Picard’s article about smoking [“Local M atters,” O ctober 22] it made me realize a few things, one being that smok ing is nothing less than disgust ing, which makes smokers noth ing less than disgusting. There seems to be too much emphasis on the causes and results o f sm oking and not enough blame on the smokers themselves. Smokers knowingly partake in a dirty, disgusting, dangerous activity that offends all non-smokers, [who] happen to be the majority. T hen they have the audacity to com plain because Vermont may w ant to ban sm oking in bars. Banning sm oking in bars will do nothing

less than save lives and improve the health o f thousands. Yet the self-centered, disgusting pigs that are smokers gripe about their rights being infringed upon. Smokers don’t deserve rights. Smokers walk around and use the world as their ashtray. There are thousands o f cig butts on the sidewalk every day, but confront a smoker about it and they blame the “other” smokers. W hich now makes them disgusting liars.

T he public is constantly being bom barded with info detailing all o f the negative effects o f smoking as well as second-hand smoke, which smokers pollute the air with for us decent non-smoking people to choke on, and the prices keep going up on cigs. And yet they keep buying them. W hich now makes them stupid, disgusting liars. It is obvious that continuous ly banning sm oking in more places and raising taxes is not

enough to deter these morons. W hat we need to do is take drastic measures. Insurance companies need to step up to the plate and deny all coverage to smokers. Employee health plans need to deny benefits to smokers. Maybe when smokers start dying an even slower, more painful death that wipes out their bank account and their kids’ inheritance, these stains on society will consider quitting and becom ing decent hum an

beings. Maybe, but I w ouldn’t bet on it.

Melissa Battoe BOLTON

SMOKED OUT Thanks for your article concern ing second-hand smoke from the perspective o f a musician [“Local M atters,” O ctober 22]. I sing in a band in Newport and find that after singing at local bars my lungs feel like they’re literally on fire. My voice is raspy for two days and I have to be careful about scheduling any singing engagements within two days of working at such an establish ment. Hopefully the legislature will begin to take the health and welfare o f all employees who work in bars into consideration as they debate this pending legis lation.

WHICH ONION? I just picked up the O ctober 22 issue o f Seven Days and found a large yellow onion on the cover representing W inooski. It seems that a modern misconception is that the O nion River and W inooski are named after the onions we buy in the grocery store. As your article correctly states, “...th e Abanaki

Winoskitegw means onion land river.” However, the onion that was the namesake o f W inooski and the W inooski River was nam ed after the “leek” onion, not the yellow onion. Yellow onions did not yet grow wild 200 years ago, but the leek did. I hope someone will clear up this longstanding misconcep tion.

FEAR FACTOR Terrorism scares me, but what scares me even more is losing the basic civil liberties that make our country great. O u r national security depends, above all else, on keeping our democracy strong. And there’s no doubt in my m ind that if we give the FBI the power — as we did in the Patriot Act — to m onitor the books we borrow from the library and videos we rent from the video store, then we are weakening our democracy. This is exactly what terrorists w ant us to do. I hope Congress repeals the entire Patriot Act, or at least nixes the worst parts o f it as some congressional Democrats and Republicans have proposed.

uspended Burlington eye doctor David Chase and his wife Brianne Chase were in C hittenden Superior C ourt M onday m orning fighting to hang onto their spa cious Spear Street hacienda. Deborah Brundage, the third former patient of Dr. Chase to file suit for unnecessary cataract surgery, is seeking a writ of attachm ent on Chases Shelburne home before the Chases can transfer the title. The three-hour hearing ended before either the doctor or his wife took the stand. Judge Howard Van Benthuysen indicated a continuation o f the hearing will likely be necessary. Taking the stand M onday was Stephen Green, the whistleblower who put the Chases out o f business and saved God knows how many people from undergoing unnecessary cataract surgery. Last July, state and federal law-enforce m ent officials raided Dr. Chase’s Burlington eye-care clinic. The state charged that Chase had been performing cataract surgery regularly on patients who did not need it. His medical license, was prom ptly suspended. Sources say a federal grand jury is currently looking into the case. Mr. Green was hired in June to be the new business manager at Chase’s clinic. He holds an MBA from Cornell and has 40 years experience in the optical profes sion. H e quickly realized something was very, very wrong. Green told the court he initially interviewed all 12 clinic employ ees. W hen asked what the biggest problem was, he told the court, they unanimously replied, ‘Dr. Chase.’” Green learned o f the doctors unusual testing procedures and his falsifying of patient records. A check o f records going back three years revealed a surprise. Despite the fact that his patient load was dropping, the num ber o f cataract surgeries Dr. Voodoo Eyes performed remained steady. Dr. Chases patient load had dropped from 7000 per year to “close to 4000,” said Green, but the num ber o f cataract surgeries he performed remained level at about 350 operations a year. Three years ago, said Green, one out of 16 patients who went to see the Voodoo Eye D oc ended up getting cataract sur gery. Two years ago it was one in 12, he said. This year the rate had risen to one in 10. “If you have a patient drop-off,” testi fied Green, “and the same num ber o f sur geries are performed, something is wrong.” Green decided to contact the Vermont Medical Practice Board. He said the board had already received one com plaint about Chases cataract propensities back in January. His new information, said Green, sparked the board’s interest. Brundage’s attorney, Mary Kirkpatrick o f Lisman, Webster, Kirkpatrick & Leckerling, PC, told the

judge there was “an atmosphere o f fear and coercion” at Chase’s St. Paul Street clinic. Judge Van Benthuysen asked Green if he had brought his concerns about the good doctor’s unprofessional practices to Dr. Chase or his wife Brianne before con tacting the Medical Practice Board. “I did not,” answered Green. “I felt like I was dealing with a fox guarding hens,” he explained. O ne thing’s for sure. Doc Chase and his philanthropic wife (former board chair at the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts) are going to be spending a lot of time in courtrooms for the foreseeable future.

Douglas' IBM Strategy — It’s not often you get a hired-gun business lobbyist to agree with Independent Rep. Benue Sanders, Democrat/Progressive Mayor Peter Clavelle and Democrat Peter Shumlin. However, the Douglas adminis tration’s proposal to lower IBM ’s electric bill while raising everyone else’s has done just that. The business lobbyist, who spoke on condition he or she not be identified, has until now been a Jim Douglas supporter. Gov. Douglas is proposing a plan that will lower IBM ’s rate and increase the rate for all other customers. G M P is Vermont’s second-largest electric utility with 80,000 customers. “There’s got to be a better way,” said the business lobbyist. “I don’t think it’s right to make us all pay.” Jimmy D ’s motive is, obviously, to keep IBM happy. Even as a candidate, Gov. Douglas prostrated himself before the altar o f Big Blue. He went to the mat to get the Bush administration to steamroll the Environmental Protection Agency so the controversial Circumferential Highway, a.k.a. The IBM Driveway, could get on the “fast track.” (Given that the state blew the bid process and has to do it again, and that there’s a mega-lawsuit in U.S. District C ourt designed to stop the Circ, just how fast the “fast track” is remains to be seen.) In the last two years IBM has laid off about 2300 workers at its Essex Junction microelectronics campus. Prior to that, Big Blue attem pted to rob its veteran workers o f their pension benefits by intro ducing a so-called “cash balance” pension plan. Vermont Congressman Bernie Sanders led the charge to stop it. It appears Jim m y D is determined to make sure IBM does not close, sell or move offshore on his watch. His latest scheme is to bow to Big Blue’s gripes about the high cost o f electricity in Vermont. H e’s come up with an ingenious plan that will lower IBM ’s electric bill by raising the bills o f all other G M P cus tomers. Brilliant, right? IN S ID E T R A C K »

Congress voted to withhold financing for CAPPS II until the General Accounting Office finishes investigating it. • When letters began appearing in papers around the country from soldiers describing their success in rebuilding Iraq, Gannett News Service found that 11 newspapers published identical letters from different soldiers with the same unit.

Army officials denied know ing anything about the “good news” let ters, which were sent to 500 newspapers, until Lt. Col. Dominic Caraccilo admit ted responsibility for the letter-writing campaign. A subsequent search discov ered that Caraccilo, commander of the 2nd Battalion, 503rd Infantry, is the sin gle most cited soldier in press accounts of the Iraq war. • Law-enforcement agencies have acceler ated using newly authorized powers intended to help them track down and punish terrorists and instead charge peo ple with common crimes. The Justice Department admitted using the USA Patriot Act to crack down on currency smugglers and seize money hidden over seas by suspected bookies, con artists and drug dealers. Subsequently, investigators used the same act to recover $4.5 million from telemarketers accused of tricking elderly U.S. citizens into thinking they had won the Canadian lottery and would receive their winnings as soon as they paid thousands of dollars in income tax.

Another Reason Gary Coleman Isn't California Governor Tall people are paid about $789 an inch more than shorter co workers, according to a study by college professors Timothy Judge and Daniel Cable, who analyzed four large-scale British and American studies detailing the working and personal lives of thou sands of participants from childhood to adulthood. “These findings are troubling in that, with a few exceptions such as

professional basketball, no one could argue that height is an essential ability required for job performance nor a bona fide occupational qualification,” said Judge, a University of Florida manage ment professor, who noted that over a 30-year career, “we re talking about liter ally hundreds of thousands of dollars of earning advantage that a tall person enjoys.”

Avoirdupois Alert Four-hundredpound George Daniels, 61, told the manager of a trailer park in Pasco County, Florida, who found him that he had been trapped in his mobile home for two days after falling through the floor. Eight rescue workers were needed to lift him out of the hole and onto a stretcher. Neighbor Warren Conklin, 80, said he checked on Daniels earlier that day. “I didn’t know he was stuck in there. It looked like he was just sitting there,” he recalled, saying that he asked Daniels if he needed help. “He said, ‘No, no, I’ll get up myself. ” • The rising number of obese patients has prompted the makers of medical equipment to reinforce stretchers to carry the additional weight, adding thicker aluminum frames, bulkier connectors and extra spine supports. The Associated Press reported that the new stretchers could handle 650 pounds instead of the standard 350 to 500 pounds. Ambulance crews are switching to the heavy-duty models to avoid injuries to themselves and patients. Southwest Ambulance, which serves Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona, has also added wider ambu lances that have special hydraulic lifts and shock absorbers specifically to carry the obese. (7)

nergy-regulation policy is daunting stuff. Aside from a few industry lobbyists, die hard policy wonks and stout-hearted activists, most people — including journal ists — don’t know squat about how electrici ty is controlled beyond flicking a light switch on and off. As long as our computers boot up on command and the monthly elec tric bill has fewer digits than a zip code, most of us don’t know and don’t care who’s keeping an eye on the juice. Thankfully, that arcane chore falls to the Vermont Public Service Board, a thr«emember, quasi-judicial body whose job it is to ensure that Vermonters get reliable elec-

b ill. tricity service at a fair and reasonable price. Basically, nothing happens to the state’s util ity rates without their say-so. One can only wonder what the Board will have to say about the deal brokered recently between the Department of Public Service and Green Mountain Power, which supplies electricity to some 88,000 Vermont customers. The two entities just signed a Memorandum of Understanding that says, in effect, GMP will not raise its rates in 2004. However, rates will go up by 1.9 per cent in January 2005 and by another 0.9 percent a year later — pending approval by the Public Service Board, which is now reviewing the deal. According to GMP, these are modest increases that will cost the aver age residential customer about $1.50 more in 2005 and 80 cents more in 2006. The last GMP rate hike was in 2001. W hat’s raising eyebrows, however, is a special contract that’s been linked to the deal on behalf of IBM. The arrangement is called an Economic Development Agreement, or EDA. Back to the mid-1990s, a number of large manufacturers around the state entered into EDAs, which offer lower-priced power as an incentive for new companies to relo cate to Vermont, or for existing companies to expand their operations, both of which theoretically fuel job growth. Economic Development Agreements typ ically last two or three years, during which time these companies buy energy at a lower price, but only for those sectors of their business that reflect new growth. So, for example, when IBM set up a new produc tion line to manufacture an expanded mem ory chip, the company could purchase cheaper power just for that part of its facili ty. W hen the EDA expired, IBM could renegotiate the deal, but only if it had added more plant capacity. In other words, no new economic development, no agreement. Hence the name. But although IBM hasn’t added any new operations, the Department of Public Service is apparendy willing to renew the company’s current EDA when it expires at the end of December. And some folks want to know why. “W hen I got [the case file] and read it, my eyes popped,” says Rep. Tony Klein (D-Montpelier), a former ener

gy-industry lobbyist. “An £DA js for eco nomic expansion. It’s not for maintaining the status quo. IBM is not expanding, it’s contracting. That’s a big change in policy.” Another underlying principle of an EDA is that the cost of providing that cheaper energy is not borne by other ratepayers. So when large customers get the discounted rate — and IBM is by far the largest, con suming more than one-fourth of GM P’s electricity and contributing 17 percent to its total revenues — presumably IBM’s expand ed operations benefit all GMP customers. Those additional revenues contribute to GM P’s fixed costs, offset future rate increas es and so on. It’s supposed to be a win-win situation all around. Not this time. Now it appears that other GMP customers are being asked to subsidize IBM’s electric bill. During a Sept. 30 prehearing conference on the matter, Public Service Board Chairman Michael Dworkin raised this point to GM P’s attorney, Donald Rendall, Jr. “I think I heard you just say that the special contract with IBM is dependent upon your ability to raise rates for all cus tomers,” Dworkin said. “I would phrase it differently,” said Rendall. . % ^ “I heard you phrase it differently,” Dworkin replied, “but I think that’s the con tent of what I heard.” Dworkin went on to say that while most rate hikes take effect 30 to 45 days after they’re approved, “I think it’s beyond any precedent that I know of to approve a rate increase that would take effect a few years in the future.” Dworkin even questioned whether the Board has the authority to do so. But GMP spokesperson Dorothy Schnure denies that this deal is a subsidy for IBM. “The whole point of this is really to help the economy of the state,” Schnure says. “It benefits all our customers and makes them more financially stable.” W hat’s this deal worth to Big Blue? According to Klein, somewhere in the neighborhood of $8 to $9 million. IBM puts the figure much lower, at about $500,000 to $700,000 per year. Meanwhile, the proposed rate hike for other GMP cus tomers would amount to about $10 million, according to Klein. No one is alleging that the parties to this deal did anything illegal or unethical. As Klein puts it, “GMP is not the bad guy. IBM is not the bad guy. If we believe that it’s in the best public interest for all Vermonters to help IBM out — and maybe we do — that’s a decision that should be made by the Legislature. That’s not a deci sion that should be made in rate cases.” And, he adds, that burden shouldn’t be borne by GM P’s customers alone but by all Vermonters. Historically, Vermont has denied requests from businesses, schools, hospitals, police departments, farmers, the poor and other worthy recipients to subsidize their energy rates, all in the interest of fairness. If the Department of Public Service is going to depart from that tradition, the discussion should take place in the open. In language we can all understand. ®

THE PUZZLE •

As you can guess from her name, Fickle Fannie is hard to pre

dict. Her preferences change from one week to the next. This week, as always, the things she likes (shown in CAPITAL letters) allfollow a secret rule. Can you figure out what it is? (Note: Fickle Fannie likes words. But each week she likes something different about them — how they're spelled, how they sound, how they look, what they mean or what’s inside them.)

Fannie got nailed by a cop for rolling through a STOP SIGN at 1 mile an hour. She loves to dine on TOMATO AND MOZZARELLA with basil. For dessert she can eat an entire gallon of CHERRY VANILLA ICE CREAM. In her closet Fannie has a big box filled with five thousand CANDY CANES. COCA-COLA SIGNS seem to excite her more than the soft drink itself. In the drugstore she'll stare vacantly at a BOX OF COLGATE TOOTHPASTE. She sometimes wipes her mouth just to see LIPSTICK ON KLEENEX. Flying to Geneva is made more fascinating because of the SW ISSA IR LOGO. The STRIPES ON THE AMERICAN FLAG make Fannie all giddy. So do the FLAGS OF PERU, POLAND, MONACO, IN DO N ESIA AND JAPAN.

he tourists arriving in Vermont without a hotel reservation had blithely stumbled into the perfect storm: peak foliage colors occur ring on a Columbus holiday weekend pre ceded by a steady week of warm, sunny weather. These two leaf peepers I had just picked up at the train station didn’t know what they were in for. Neither did I, actually. “So beautiful,” the woman said as we got underway. She was a handsome woman, with short black hair softly framing her face. “We have nothing like this in Sao Paulo.

What impressed me about this couple was that they appeared entirely unruffled by this vexing development... If I was in their shoes, I'd be thoroughly freaked out. These trees are taking your breath away. Is that how you say?” “You bet,” I replied ^That’s exactly how you say. The foliage is breathtaking this time of year. W hat hotel did you folks say you were headed to?” “We didn’t,” the woman answered. A man — the other half of this twosome — sat beside her smiling broadly, and I got the sense he didn’t speak English. “Take us please to a nice hotel in Burlington,” she continued. “We just come up like an adven ture. Our friends we visit in New York said it is beautiful in Vermont now. You pick a hotel for us, OK?” “Oh, jeez,” I said out loud. “I hate to tell you this, but it’s gonna be very, very difficult to find a hotel room tonight. This is the big weekend for foliage tours, and I just don’t know.” In the rearview mirror I watched the woman translate my pessimistic message into Portuguese. The man waved his hand, like he was brushing it off. He then said something back. “My husband thinks there must be room somewhere, so let’s try some hotels if it is OK with you.” “Absolutely,” I replied, and we headed for Williston Road. O ur first stop was the Ho-Hum. No luck. Next, the Ethan Allen. Nope. Then the Comfort Inn. Nada. “It’s not looking real good,” I said, stat ing the obvious. “W hat do you want to do?” “How about that Holiday Inn?” the woman said, pointing down the road. “W hy not?” I replied, and we pulled to the entrance, got out and walked in. The young man behind the front desk just shook his head. “There’s nothing,” he said. “I mean, in the whole state, and we’ve called everywhere. We’ve been sending peo ple to Plattsburgh; that’s how crazy it is tonight.” I turned to my couple and explained what the guy had just said. “I can take you to Plattsburgh,” I said. “It’s really up to you, but it might be your best option. Honestly, I’m not trying to hustle a fare here; it’s super-busy tonight in Burlington. But if you

want to go, I’ll charge you a hundred bucks plus the cost of the ferry.” More Portuguese ensued. What impressed me about this couple was that they appeared entirely unruffled by this vex ing development, even cheerful. If I was in their shoes, I’d be thoroughly freaked out, ready for a Quaalude. Maybe life in Brazil, I mused, makes people this mellow. On the ferry ride to New York, the three of us talked with much animation. It turned out they both practiced law in Brazil, he a criminal defense lawyer of some repute. The perfect job, I thought, for a guy brimming with self-confidence. At Gus’ Red Hots we took the turn onto Route 9 and the lineup o f ’50s-era hotels. At every one we passed the “no vacancy” sign was ablaze. I began to get a sinking feeling about this New York option. At an Econo Lodge near Plattsburgh State College, we received the dreaded news from the frontdesk clerk: “There’s not an available hotel or B&B room anywhere in the North Country tonight. We’ve been sending tourists to Albany. Sorry.” I turned to face my Brazilians and said, “Do you know the English word ‘fiasco?’” “Yes, I do,” the woman replied, and pro ceeded to talk with her mate. “Is the Burlington Airport terminal open all night?” she asked me. “Yeah, I think it is,” I said. “Well, take us back there. We stay over until the morning and pick up our car at the car rental. For that we do have a reserva tion.” At this point, my level of frustration was heading off the chart, and I felt terrible about taking these people on a wild goose chase. Amazingly enough, however, my cus tomers’ equanimity appeared unshaken. “Hey, I’m so sorry,” I said. “I’m stunned the hotels are booked up on this side of the lake as well. And, of course, I won’t charge you anything extra for the return trip to the airport.” Back in B-town the man suddenly spoke up. His wife then said to me, “He thinks maybe we try the Holiday Inn again. We need a room for tomorrow night also. M aybe...” When we walked up to the front desk, the reservation guy looked at us sheepishly. “You didn’t go to Plattsburgh, did you?” “We sure did,” I replied. “Oh my gosh, these tourists have been through the mill! Let’s see if we can make it right. I think I can round up a couple of cots and set these folks up in an empty function room for the night. How’s that sound?” The woman’s face lit up, as did her hus band’s when she gave him the word. They both laughed. I glanced at a clock on the wall and realized the three of us had been ori this journey for nearly four hours. The woman tugged on my jacket sleeve and said, “He says, ‘That was not too bad; it just took a little bit of a ride.’” I shook my head and chuckled, so relieved at their apparent lack of ire over the entire fandango. I said, “In Vermont we call that ‘taking the long way ’round the barn.’ I guess tonight we went clear around the whole farm!” ®

Dear Cecil, Did John F. Kennedy really write Profiles in Courage? I read there were rumors at the time o f its publication that it had been ghostwritten, and that the Kennedy family later conceded as much. Recently I visited Amazon.com and was surprised to see online reviews posted by readers praising the president for his fine writing. Is there any consensus about Profiles in Courage and who the real author isI . — Kevin West Los Angeles Yes, there’s a consensus about Profiles in Courage (1956), which established JFK’s intellectual credentials and helped make him a credible presidential candidate. We’ll get to that. Yes, we know who did most of the heavy lifting for the book — we’ll get to that, too. The principal controversy, apparently, has been what to call the curious process by which the book came to be. Even Garry Wills, a Kennedy critic, writes that JFK was the author of the book in the sense that he “authorized” it. Come now. Kennedy con ceived the book and supervised its production, but did little offthe research and writing. If you or I were discovered doing the same for a sophomore term paper in sociology, we’d get an E The idea for the book — a study of heroic U.S. senators — came to Kennedy in 1954, when he was a first-term sena tor himself. Initially he imagined it as a magazine article, but during a long convalescence after a couple back operations he decided to make it into a book. His chief assistant on the project was his speechwriter Ted Sorensen, often described as his alter ego. (Remember the bit about “Ask not what your country can do for you”? Sorenson was in on that one.) The recuperating Kennedy sent Sorensen a steady stream of notes and dictation, requested books, asked that memos be prepared and so on. Sorensen worked virtually full-time on the project for six months, sometimes 12 hours a day. He coordinated the work and drafted many chapters. Others also made contributions, most importantly Georgetown University history professor Jules Davids. The book was published on January 1, 1956, to lavish

praise. It became a best-seller and in 1957 was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for biography. It established Kennedy, till then considered promising but lacking in gravitas, as one of the Democratic Party’s leading lights, setting the stage for his presidential nomination in 1960. But doubts about the book’s authorship surfaced early. In December 1957 syndicated columnist Drew Pearson, interviewed on TV by Mike Wallace, said, “Jack Kennedy is... the only man in history that I know who won a Pulitzer Prize on a book which was ghostwritten for him.” Outraged, Kennedy hired lawyer Clark Clifford, who collectedithe senator’s handwritten notes and rounded up state ments from people who said they’d seen Jiim working on the book, then persuaded Wallace’s bosses at ABC to read a retraction on the air. Kennedy made no secret of Sorensen’s involvement in Profiles, crediting him in the preface as “my research associ ate,” and likewise acknowledged the contributions of Davids and others. But he insisted that he was the book’s author and bristled even at teasing suggestions to the contrary. Sorensen and other Kennedy loyalists backed him up then and have done so since. The most thorough analysis of who did what has come from historian Herbert Parmet in Jack: The Struggles o f John F. Kennedy (1980). Parmet interviewed the participants and reviewed a crateful of papers in the Kennedy Library. He found that Kennedy contributed some notes, mostly on John Quincy Adams, but little that made it into the fin ished product. “There is no evidence of a Kennedy draft for the overwhelming bulk of the book,” Parmet writes. While “the choices, message and tone of the volume are unmistak ably Kennedy’s,” the actual work was “left to committee labor.” The “literary craftsmanship [was] clearly Sorensen’s, and he gave the book both the drama and flow that made for readability.” Parmet, like everyone else, shrinks from say ing Sorensen was the book’s ghostwriter, but clearly he was. On a related subject, did JFK’s dad, Joseph P. Kennedy, twist arms to get his son the Pulitzer, as some believe? Parmet finds no smoking gun. True, Profiles wasn’t among the books recommended to the Pulitzer committee by its judges, a pair of expert reviewers, so when the rather slim volume came out of nowhere and trumped some seriously weighty scholarship, people got suspicious. (Supposedly Profiles won because someone on the committee said his 12year-old grandson liked it.) New York Times columnist Arthur Krock, a friend of Joe Kennedy’s, boasted that he had lobbied hard for the book, but Krock’s partisanship was well-known and the committee members were distinguished newspaper folk, not easily swayed. Parmet harrumphs that it would have been unlike Joe P. to let an opportunity slip, but who knows? We do know this: JFK, not for the first or last time, got credit he didn’t deserve. CECIL ADAMS

Mr. Sanders doesn’t think so. “I am not enthusiastic about asking ordinary people, middleclass people, to have to pay more in their electric bills when it is quite as high as it is right now,” said O f Bernardo this week. “T hat would not be a deal that I would have negotiated.” But Bernie, if we don’t kiss IBM ’s butt the mega corporation might say “Screw you, Vermont. We’re leaving!” C ’mon, we’ve got to help ’em out, right? “If we’re going to give IBM something,” said Sanders, “then IBM is going to have to tell us for sure what they’re going to give us in return.” There’s nothing in the Douglas deal, he noted, that commits IBM to maintaining a certain num ber of employees for the foreseeable future. “If I give you something, I want something in return,” said O f Bernardo. “And that is strong guarantees that there’ll be decentpaying jobs in IBM for the indef inite future.” Sanders’ comments and those of the business lobbyist were echoed Tuesday by Burlington Mayor Peter Clavelle, declared candidate for governor in 2004. Mayor Moonie just returned M onday from a week-long trip to Japan paid for by the Montpelierbased Institute for Sustainable Communities (www.iscvt.org). Clavelle told Seven Days he | understood V e r m ^ t’s systerh o f regulating electric rates to be “cost-based.” A few years ago an effort to lower electric bills for senior citizens or others living on fixed incomes fizzled, said Clavelle, because the state said it couldn’t be done. Now, if IBM can get a break on its electric bills, he asked, does that mean UVM should get one, too, to keep tuition low for Vermont students? O r what about lowering the electric rate at the Mary Fanny to keep health care costs under control? “It’s a very slippery slope,” said Mayor Moonie. “W here do you draw the lines?” If Mayor Clavelle were gover nor, he said he would not support a rate reduction for Big Blue. But he said he would work hard to keep IBM here. The best things Vermont can do, he said, are to provide a good, educated work force and a high quality o f life. Democrat Peter Shumlin of Putney, former state senate leader, agrees wholeheartedly with Sanders and Clavelle. Shumlin called the Douglas administration’s IBM rate-cut pro posal “outrageous.” Republicans and Democrats have agreed for generations, said Shumlin, that “You don’t charge average citizens more for their power than any body else.” Putney Pete said Gov. Douglas has adopted George Bush-style economics. By the way, Shumlin sure sounded like a candidate for gov ernor. He told Seven Days he expects to make the formal announcem ent in January when

the legislature returns. “I want to run for governor,” said Shumlin. “This state is head ed in the wrong direction.” Word is, the only thing that could prevent a Shumlin candida cy is the Shumlin family. Stay tuned. Meanwhile, Gov. Jimbo’s press secretary, Jason Gibbs, told Seven Days that “IBM represents about 25 percent o f G M P ’s rate base. If IBM leaves Vermont, the obvious economic catastrophe notwithstanding, there are less jobs, less usage, and the cost of G M P ’s power would be spread across all rate payers, resulting in a dramatic increase in rates for ordinary Vermonters.” Here’s a solution: W hy doesn’t IBM hire Howard Dean’s Internet fundraising whiz kids? They could launch a “Help Save IBM ” Web site and solicit dona tions from Vermonters who, like the governor, believe keeping IBM happy is something worth paying for. So much for the capitalist sys tem, eh?

DeanWatch 2004 — New York Daily News columnist Lloyd Grove reported this week that in H o-H o’s soon-to-be published book, Winning Back America, our favorite presidential hopeful “takes a confessional approach.” Grove says that Dr. Dean wrote about “his youthful drunk en behavior and his occasional adventures in petty theft.” Cool. People often forget how big shoplifting was for H o-H o’s generation. “Once we were 18, we could indulge in lazy days o f ‘Baseball and Ballantine, ” Dean writes. “We’d buy some beer and put it in a garbage can o f ice and play softball all day long. If you hit somebody’s beer with a batted ball, it was an automatic out.” After he got married, “I quit drinking,” Dean writes. “W hen I drank, I would drink a lot and do outrageous things, and then I wouldn’t drink again for a while. I realized that what was very funny when you’re 18 is not very funny when you’re 30. I had a terrible hangover after my bache lor party, which didn’t help. So I quit. D rinking served no useful purpose in my life, and I just got tired o f it. I haven’t had a drink in over 22 years.” G od bless him!

Media Notes — The November T V ratings sweeps began last Thursday, and the battle between the two T V news titans for view ers is in full gear. WCAX in South Burlington sure hit the ground running. Marselis Parsons and Sera Congi opened M onday evening with a new Ch. 3 Vermont poll on Howard Dean’s presidential quest. According to the results, 56 percent o f Vermonters approve, while 41 percent do not. Interesting. T hat mirrors the 1998 governor’s race when HoH o defeated Ruthless Ruth Dwyer 56-41. And 41 percent was Republican Lt. Gov. Brian

W CAX is also starting sweeps m onth with two special series: Anson Tebbetts on “The Dean Mystique” and Andy Potter on “T he Democrats’ Dilem m a,” i.e., the race for governor. Cool. Another change at Ch. 3 has been the addition o f co-anchor Congi on the 11 o’clock news. She’s now teamed up with Roger Garrity, who’s been solo at 11 p.m. for years. The new boy-girl anchor arrangement matches that o f the com petition at W PTZ. Ms. Congi’s presence next to Roger, said Marsillyiss, “makes our 11 more watchable.” Over at Ch. 3 the beginning o f the ratings period was marked by a feature on news anchor Stephanie Gorin’s tw o-m onthold twins — Toby and Grade.

W P T Z also ran a special piece on one way to lose weight — have a gastric bypass. News Director Andy Wormser tells Seven Days the stomach-stapling procedure reduces a cantoulopesized stomach to that o f an egg. Sounds like fun, huh? This week, says Mr. Wormser, there’ll be more special reports. O ne by Thom Hallock will examine the dangers o f backing out o f the driveway. Bigger cars mean bigger blind spots. Another by Graham Johnson will check the safety of those household chemicals you store under the sink. If they were safe, chances are there wouldn’t be a story, right? And Wormser says Stephanie the M om m y will be making a couple more appearances during the sweeps. A live double diaper change, however, is not in the cards. Ah, c’mon.

Get Well, John! — O ne o f U.S. Sen. Patrick J. Leahy’s key staffers was hospitalized at the M ary Fanny this week fol lowing a nasty car accident Sunday morning. John Goodrow o f Essex was en route to pick up his oldest son at Sunday school when another vehicle ran a stop sign. John’s got a busted hip. Surgery was sched uled for Tuesday. We first met John in the 1980s when he was a radio news guy for WJOY. Old-tim ers will always remember his legendary piano-playing dad, Orville "Goody" Goodrow. Goody, who passed away in 2000, played piano w ith Artie Shaw’s U.S. Navy Jazz Band during W W II. Later he performed on the Steamship Ticonderoga and was a fixture at the Holiday Inn for 30 years (1965-1995). Son John’s been a valued be hind-the-scenes guy on St. Pat rick’s Vermont staff since 1987. Best wishes, John, for a full and speedy recovery! (7)

MAKING B O D Y -M IN D C O N N E C T IO N S

P a c e

M ak er

m etaphor to evoke the different ways in which generations o f Vermonters, connected by the land, have endured. History tells them the first hill is the quiet killer, a quarter down and three quarters up to the Revolutionary cemetery overlooking the unblistered lake. ... Down across the temporary finish line to the only stone building nearby the water holding its share o f lead shot and blood — which still runs over these bursting apple hills— they run by and stop to remember who, out o f breath, shoeless and unnumbered lay down and finished before them.

0 IM AGE Stefan Bumbeck

n a floodlit stage at M iddlebury College’s D a n a ^ Auditorium , Paul M atteson begins to dance. His breathing becomes labored and his blue T-shirt billows up to reveal the abdominal muscles o f an athlete, stacked like pieces o f a Jenga game. He falls to the stage and pulls him self up, sending tiny carpet fibers flying. This, his body suggests, is what it means to endure. It is Devil’s N ight, O ctober 30, when prank sters’ unsuspecting prey m ust endure toiletpapered trees and egg-smeared cars. T he long, red curtains o f the N orthern lights are ablaze over the Green M ountains. And M iddlebury is hosting a symposium on “Inspiration and Perspiration,’’ the first in a series o f forums that will explore the con nection between the lives o f the m ind and the body. Tonight’s them e is endurance, a subject that has long resonated with both athletes and acade mics. It continues to capture our attention even in the age o f couch potatoes. In April, a professor from Boring, Oregon, fueled by carbohydrates and caffeine, delivered the longest lecture to date: 51 hours, 44 minutes and 17 seconds. Last m onth, after a perplexing 44 days suspended in a glass box above the River Thames, David Blaine emerged 50 pounds lighter, dehydrat ed but enlightened. T he endurance stunt, he told the crowd, “has been one o f the most inspirational experiences o f my life. ’’ And three days after this symposium, P. D iddy is running in the New York City M arathon after just eight weeks o f training. Maybe I’ll see him . I’m also running 26.2 miles through the Big Apple; it’s my 12th m arathon, and I seem to have misplaced my reasons for undertaking the task yet again. W hile my running friends anticipate personal records, the joy o f sim ply finishing for the first tim e or the sights they’ll see along the way, I can’t seem to envision the ending the way I once did. My training has been half-hearted; the race is like a deadline for a story I don’t w ant to write. Call it runner’s block. Its definitely on my m ind as I take in the M iddlebury scene: T he auditorium is filled to near capacity with dancers, students, cross-country run ners and professors, including scholar-in-residence

Bill McKibben, tonight’s emcee. McKibben knows a thing or two about endurance. At age 37, he trained for a year as an elite Nordic skier and turned the experience into a book, Long Distance: The Year o f Living Strenuously. But modest McKibben quickly cedes the podium to M iddlebury English professor Jay Parini, a prolific writer o f novels, poetry and biographies.

T he symposium’s final speaker is Bernd Heinrich, a biologist and nature writer with m indblowing long-distance running records. H e seems as flummoxed as the audience is by his accom plishments, claiming to remember — but not nec essarily understand — running for 24 hours and 157 miles around a quarter-m ile track. Is this nor mal? Perhaps, H einrich reasons, considering our natural history as long-distance hunters. We have become the m ost specialized endur ance species in the world: Unlike other animals, we can sweat, we have lost most of our body hair, we can tailor our diets and fine-tune our minds to envision the future. But, H einrich says, we’ve become like poodles in a New York City apart ment, as opposed to wolves; domesticated geese in the barnyard, rather than the wild ones m igrating 2000 miles.

You can't bullshit your way to the end of the marathon. B E R N D

HEINRICH,

BIOLOGIST,

Parini speaks about two “endurance freak w rit ers” who paced themselves through lifetimes o f writing. France’s H onore de Balzac would work from 1 a.m. through dawn, wearing a white night gown and bathed in candle light. T he hyper-pro lific penm an produced some 90 novels and novel las, filled with more than 2000 characters. England’s A nthony Trollope, for his part, squeezed in three hours writing each day before his day job at the post office. He produced at an astonishing rate: 250 words every 15 minutes. This was all fine and good during the 19th cen tury, when life was perhaps less stim ulating, but what about today, when distractions abound? “T he great danger that all writers face, as do m any athletes, is com pulsion,” says Parini, who begins each day writing poems at Steve’s Park D iner in Middlebury. “A writer essentially has to be there, ready and willing to serve the Muse, should the Muse decide to put in an appearance that day,” he says, noting, “I think o f myself as som ething o f a tortoise in a world o f hares.” After the second o f three dance interludes, Gary Margolis read two poems. Margolis played football and studied w riting at M iddlebury before returning to teach English and counsel students. His latest collection, Fire in the Orchard, includes “T he Burning Bush o f Basketball,” which Michael Jordan signed and returned to the poet. In “Slow W ords for Shoreham in the Apple Blossom Derby,” Margolis uses a road racing

WRITER,

R U N N E R

Why, though, should we run or bike or lecture or suspend ourselves in a glass box when we could rest? To keep alive the primal enthusiasm, Heinrich reasons. To experience our defining moments. To find out who we are, beyond cogs in society. “You can’t bullshit your way to the end of the marathon,” he says. The program ends with a screening of Endurance, which takes place thousands o f miles from Vermont, in the sun-scorched fields o f Ethiopia. T he film tells the story o f Haile Gebrselassie, who endured poverty by bolting through the dusty countryside and dream ing o f the Olympics; in 1996, he won the gold medal at the Atlanta Centennial Games. W hile Gebrselassie is religious, his beliefs blend w ith H einrich’s anti bullshit stance: “You hard work and the G od help you,” he says toward the beginning o f Endurance. “If you no hard work, then the G od — nothing.” T he northern lights have faded by the tim e I leave the auditorium and head home, thinking o f Parini’s point. “Athletes in the pursuit of endurance often drive themselves too hard, which is very true o f writers as well,” he said. “Endurance requires steadiness and discipline, yes, but it also dem ands an abundance o f som ething you claim to love. Self-love, to be sure, but love o f the dance as well, the process o f m aking or playing or doing.” Those words will also help keep me going on Sunday when I com plete the New York C ity m arathon in 3:26 — my third-fastest time ever — w ithout running into a single rap star.

PATRIOTISM

^ T H HE!

he candidacy of Howard Dean is big news in Vermont. Anti-Bush activism is a regular part of the landscape. Here, it's easy to lose track of how the rest of the country feels about the direction in which Dubya is steering the ship of state. The polls suggest a change of course. Two years ago, at the start of U.S. military operations in Afghanistan, a whopping 90 percent of Americans surveyed in a Washington Post-ABC News poll approved of the Prez's performance. By November 2002, th a t number had dropped to 68 percent. This week, with American deaths in Iraq continuing to mount and employment at home still down, Bush's approval rating is at 56 percent and the electorate is evenly split in a hypo thetical match-up between Bush and a generic Democrat. One year from now, those hypothetical numbers will have been translated into actual votes and w ell have a newly elected president — barring any voting-machine screw-ups or last-m inute Supreme Court decisions. How it all shakes out next November will depend on lots of factors, many of them beyond the control of activists and politicians, and impossible to predict today. But it will also be the result of th e many ways in which the adm inistration's policies are being countered and citizens are being primed to think for themselves and make their voices heard. As we begin the 12 -m onth countdown to Election Day, Seven Days looks at dissent from several angles:

I STORY

PAMELA POLSTON

n September, when Attorney General John Ashcroft was on; ap impromptu tour to stump for the USA Patriot Act, he gave Boston law officials a closed-to-the-public speech while, according to the Boston Globe, protestors outside chanted, "This is what democracy looks like!” Funny, it’s also what dissent looks like. The Faneuil Hall demonstration against the Act’s abrogation of basic American free doms was particularly meaningful, perhaps, taking place in front of the “cradle of liber ty.” But Ashcroft got pretty much the same reception wherever he went, and from a diverse coalition of citizens — from soccer moms to Arab-Americans to members of the American Civil Liberties Union. That’s because the USA Patriot Act is, well, unpatriotic. Despite the euphemistic name of this legislation, which was hurried through Congress without debate in the wake of 9/11 to help “combat terrorism,” most sentient Americans are rightly alarmed about its far-reaching implications. Among its egregious elements that severely weaken parts of the Bill of Rights are secret spying, arrest without warrants and extreme inva sion of privacy. More than 160 towns and cities and three states, including Vermont, responded with resolutions condemning the unconsti tutional provisions of the USA Patriot Act. With an impressive whoosh of outrage, librarians around the country shed the demure stereotype and vowed to destroy patron records rather than turn them over to the government. It’s probably no coinci dence that some ingenious entrepreneur almost immediately followed up by creating a librarian “action’-figure doll. This is an era when protest, a.k.a. dissent, has been deemed “unpatriotic” by the neocons in, and in support of, the Bush adminis tration. And in the same month that Ash croft rallied for Patriot I, the President of the United States proposed Patriot Act II. This one would give the AG and his spooks even more power to spy on electronic communica tions, to give a carte blanche subpoena to

authorities for “terrorist” investigations, And to apply the death penalty more widely. Unfortunately, this Big Brother legisla tion is just one item on a very long list of outrages put forth by the Bushies. Let’s revisit some others: • “Weapons of mass destruction” in Iraq — the reason given for invading a country that did not attack us first. Yes, Saddam Hussein was/is a bad, bad man, but he was not a threat to the United States. The BushCo’s own Iraq Survey Group and teams of U.N. inspectors before that did not turn up any W MDs, not even a little-bitty one. Also a lie: the alleged connection between Saddam and al Qaeda. And by the way, where is Saddam? Osama? • W hen he was running for president, Bush said he wanted to protect individual privacy. So why is the Defense Department developing a data-mining computer system called “Total Information Awareness” that would turn us all into suspects without proof of wrongdoing? Making every iota of personal information — including emails, medical records and travel history — avail able to the government sounds more like piracy than privacy. • Two years ago, Bush told an audience of veterans they were a priority for his administration and this would be reflected in his budget. Yet last year he had an oppor tunity to approve an emergency funding bill that included $275 million for the medical care of veterans and he refused. Funding has been cut for the Veterans Administration in his 2004 budget; the American Legion cal culates it “comes $1.9 billion short of main taining an inadequate status quo.” Don’t tell that to the soldiers getting wounded on a near-daily basis in Iraq. They’re probably already bummed about their pay cut since the war “officially” ended. • Space does not allow a whole host of other prevarications from the Bushmen, such as “compassionate” conservatism, “No Child Left Behind” and “high-quality, affordable health care for all Americans.” For details, read Lies and the Lying Liars

IN F O R M E D

Dissent is just bitching unless you know what you're talking about. This is by no means an exhaustive list of information and "watchdog" sites, but it's a start.

American Civil Liberties Union: www.aclu.org (Vermont chapter: http://members.aol.com/acluvt/home) Bill of Rights Defense Committee: www.bordc.org Campaign for America's Future: www.ourfuture.org Center for American Progress: www.centerforamericanprogress.org Center for Public Integrity: www.publicintegrity.org Common Dreams: www.commondreams.org The Daily Mislead: www.misleader.org MoveOn: www.moveon.org People for the American Way: www.pfaw.org Progressive Government Project: www.progressivegovernment.org TomPaine. commonsense: www.tompaine.com TrueMajority: www.truemajority.org TruthOut: www.truthout.org IL L U S T R A T IO N : A N D Y S IN G E R

Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right by comedian A1 Franken; Bushwhacked by those viciously funny Texans Molly Ivins and Lou Dubose; Thieves in High Places: They’ve Stolen Our Country and It’s Time to Get It Back by the funny Texan populist writer Jim Hightower; and dead serious The Lies o f George W Bush: Mastering the Politics o f Deception by The Nations Washington editor David Corn. • As a result of unilaterally starting a war that nobody else wanted, this administration has arro gantly dissed traditional allies — except, of course, Britain. Even countries normally lukewarm or cool to the U.S. were sympathetic after 9/11. Bush has squandered that good will and opportu nity to build a cooperative international force against terrorism. Never mind further inflaming everyone who hated us in the first place. • According to the Center for Public Integrity, more than 70 American companies and individuals have won up to $8 billion in contracts for work in post-war Iraq and Afghanistan over the past two years. Those same firms donated more than $500,000 to the presidential campaign of George W. Bush. Reminder: The top recipient of these federal contracts is Halliburton, the company led by Dick Cheney before he was chosen as Bushs VP. Coincidence? Bechtel Group, also with high-level ties to government officials, got the second-biggest contracts. The General Accounting Office has begun an investigation amidst allegations of fraud and cronyism. • The economy is in the toilet. Even before Bush asked Congress for $87 billion to “rebuild” Iraq and support the U.S. military presence there, his tax cut primarily benefited the wealthiest Americans and evaporated the record surplus achieved by the Clinton adminis tration. The General Accounting Office has estimated the federal deficit to be more than $ 1 trillion over the next 10 years. W hat will hap pen to Social Security? Medicare? • George W. Bush is the first president since Herbert Hoover to preside over an economy that has lost jobs, rather than created them — more than 2.9 million lost since 2001. • The environment: Fuhgeddaboudit. Thirty years of environmental safeguards are wiped out. So are arsenic-in-water standards and U.S. involvement with the Kyoto Protocol. Funding for maintenance of national parks, which Bush once called “the crown jewel of Americas recre ation system,” is pitiful. According to the National Resources Defense Council, the “Clear Skies” legislation will allow 50 percent more sulfur emissions and five times more mercury

emissions, and will result in 100,000 additional premature deaths by 2020. (Guess who’s down wind of Midwestern factories?) • Despite the president’s vow to “uncover every detail” of the 9/11 attacks, administration officials continue to withhold key documents from a bipartisan investigation commission. The group finally issued a subpoena last month. “This administration is the most secretive of our lifetime, even more than the Nixon administrition,” notes Larry Klayman, chair of the conservative Judicial Watch. “They don’t believe the American people or Congress have any right to information.” We could go on, but who wants to? It’s too depressing to consider, as Newsweek magazine recently did, that Bush believes his mandate comes from God. Instead, let’s see what the opposition is up to.

It was Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. who said, “The great glory of American democracy is the right to protest for right.” O f course, he was n’t talking right wing. More recently author Michael Kazin, who sits on the editorial board for Dissent magazine, offered this advice for patriotic progressives: “The most effective way to love the country is to fight like hell to change it.” The best dissent, surely, is not just a stance against something but a positive vision for what America can and should be — and has at times been — both at home and abroad. Simply being reactionary and defensive isn’t enough — espe cially if you’re trying to take back a country. That said, dissent is by its very nature a response to something you don’t like, whether you just want to keep the status quo or to cre ate something even better. The challenge is to persuade “my country right or wrong” types that “country” and “government” are not the same thing. You can love your country and real ly, really not love an administration. Conser vatives who continue to loathe Bill Clinton should be able to understand that. It’s the ACLU’s mission to protect freedoms as they exist in the Bill of Rights; recently the group filed the first-ever legal challenge to the USA Patriot Act. “Ordinary Americans should not have to worry that the FBI is rifling through their medical records, seizing their personal papers, or forcing charities and advocacy groups to divulge membership lists,” says Ann Beeson, the ACLU’s legal director. “We know from our clients that the FBI is once again targeting eth nic, religious and political minority communi ties disproportionately.”

Meanwhile, some members of Congress have introduced bills to knock a few teeth out of Patriot I. Following a vote in the House to ban “sneak and peek” searches, Senators Larry Craig (R-ID) and Richard Durbin (D-IL) have intro duced the bipartisan Security and Freedom Ensured (SAFE) Act of 2003. The truth is, a number of Republicans are knitting their eyebrows and admitting the Patriot Act has “moved the scales out of bal ance,” as Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) puts it. Even the arch-conservative Bill O ’Reilly, host of the Fox News talk show “The O ’Reilly Factor,” has no use for the random search or wiretap; or, apparently, the prudish AG: “The president should have emergency powers, as Abraham Lincoln had during the Civil War, in times of emergency... [but] just to give it to the attor ney general, no. I mean, look, Janet Reno was the attorney general, John Mitchell was the attorney general. I don’t want these people to have this power. And this guy Ashcroft is throwing sheets over statues. Come on." Well, it passes for thinking things through, anyway. And if even Bill O ’Reilly can do that, there is hope. Better news is that, finally, liber al/ progressive talk shows are beginning to appear, aiming to counter the hypocritical spew of conservatives such as Rush Limbaugh. The new Center for American Progress, which held a kick-off national conference last week — and which employs former Bernie Sanders wunderkind David Sirota — is offering to provide information and research to reporters and com mentators. Former Vice President A1 Gore and Joel Hyatt are considering a cable TV network to take on the virulently right-wing Fox News. The right has foisted upon us a climate of mean-spiritedness and intolerance, in which might is right and so is money. Yet from the deepest muck can grow flowers. Most hopeful ness, and progressive activity, seems to be blooming on the Internet these days. See the sidebar for a number of Web sites that provide info, action alerts and the increasingly popular “one-click activism.” The Internet has done wonders for Howard Dean’s presidential cam paign, and it shows signs of being the great democratic meetinghouse its creators dreamed about. But don’t think the revolution can just be emailed. T hat’s what voting is for. “Politics is not something you can stand off and look at as though it were a television program or a painting on a wall and decide you really don’t much care for it,” write Ivins and Dubose in Bushwhacked. Their advice? “Time to raise hell.”

While Attorney General John Ashcroft and President Bush were touting Patriot Acts last September, a lone congressman bravely marched into the House of Representatives, took out his AK47 and shot holes in the president's $87 billion request for Iraq. Well, it wasn't quite that dramatic. But Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-IL) is definitely taking aim at Bush's economic policies with his "American Parity Act." It proposes that the money earmarked for rebuilding the country we invaded be matched here at home. Specifically, H.R. 1738 requests that $20.3 billion be divided among the states to pay for jobs, health care, edu cation, infrastructure and security for Americans. Ver mont Rep. Bernie Sanders is among the 100-plus co-sponsors of the bill, according to his spokesman Joel Barkin. Sanders voted against the $87 billion for Iraq — in vain, as it turned out. But Emanuel's bold proposal bypasses the question of money for Iraq and focuses on a solution for belea guered Americans. "There's a lot of momentum behind the bill," Barkin says. "You hear people talking about it." He also notes, "Members are going to have a hard time voting against it if it does get to the floor." Problem is, the bill might get "buried in com mittee," Barkin says. Why? Because the Parity Act is inherently subversive. It is congressional dissent. The reconstruction budget for Iraq represents a "concrete and detailed plan to use American taxpayer dollars to create Iraqi jobs and economic growth, build Iraqi schools and infrastructure, and provide Iraqis with health care and other domestic needs," accord ing to the Institute for America's Future (IAF). By con trast, the president's domestic economic plan was essentially a tax break that primarily ben efits the top 1 percent of wage earners. That means about $17,630 for the richest Vermonters, while 43 percent of the state's residents will receive less than $100 , accord ing to the IAF. If Emanuel's bill does not specifically call for a rollback of some of those tax cuts to finance domestic needs, the implication is there. The Insti tute for America's Future has broken down what the Ameri can Parity Act would mean for each state. If it were passed and fully funded, Vermont would receive $83.7 million. Sounds better than a deficit. P.P.

MATTHEW Amidst all the free swag is a brochure THORSEN for the U.S. Marines that proclaims, “For in knowledge there is power.” In recent For m o re in f o rm a months, antiwar activists have turned that tio n o n c o u n te r sentiment around.

As a result, several p e a c e a n d ju stic e .o rg groups in Vermont, including Veterans for

Peace and Alternatives for Recruitment by the Military, have been visiting high schools and telling students about less aggressive options for travel, college money, community service and career development — in effect, taking aim at the military’s most effective selling points. “We get a chance to talk to students and say, ‘You’re about to make a really, really important decision that could affect you in ways you can’t even imagine yet,”’ explains Ellen Kaye, a “counter-recruiter” with ARM in Bratdeboro. “And the least you can do is please promise to read some of our stuff before you make that decision.’” Recruiting able-bodied youths for mili tary service even before they’ve come of age is as old as war itself. Armies marching off to battle have always relied on propa ganda about honor and glory for God and country to fill their ranks with young, ide alistic adventure-seekers. The technology behind that sales pitch today may be as sophisticated as the military’s most hightech weaponry, but the underlying mes sage remains the same. Folks like Kaye know that the mili tary’s campaign for the hearts and minds of America’s youth is more powerful and

well-funded than ever; this year, the Department of Defense will spend $2.3 billion on recruitment alone. That money helped pay for one of the U.S. Army’s most seductive recruitment tools, the ultra-realistic PC video game “America’s Army,” which promises players they can “gain experience as a soldier in the U.S. Army without leaving home.” Released last year at a development cost of more than $6 million, it almost instantly became the most downloaded video game in Internet history. “America’s Army,” which is now available on CD-ROM, also contains plenty of information on how players can sign up for the real deal. It’s not just high-tech video games and animated TV ads that peace activists are up against. Buried in the 670 pages of the federal “No Child Left Behind” Act is a provision that says public schools are not only required to allow military recruiters on their premises, but must provide them with students’ names and contact informa tion. Schools that refuse to do so risk los ing their federal funding. Last year, for example, the principal of Mount Anthony Union High School in Bennington faced this prospect when she told recruiters it

O n e of th e U .S . A rm y ’s m o s t sed u ctive re c ru itm e n t tools is th e ultra-realistic P C video g a m e “A m e ric a ’s Arm y,” w hich p ro m is e s players they c a n “gain ex p e rie n c e as a soldier in th e U .S . A rm y w ithout leaving h o m e .”

was against school policy to give out stu dent contact information to anyone. A compromise was reached when the school allowed students or their parents to opt off the list provided to military recruiters. Elsewhere in the country, schools have faced similar threats, including districts in San Francisco and Portland, Oregon, that tried to bar access to recruiters on the grounds that the military discriminates against gays and lesbians. Some schools have taken a different approach, allowing students to opt onto the list given out to recruiters. Otherwise, their names and contact information remain confidential. Despite the lopsided nature of the fight, however, counter-recruiters say they can shoot holes in the military’s biggest recruit ment weapon — the promise of five-figure sums for college. A commander at the U.S. Army Recruiting Station in South Burlington explains that new enlistees are eligible for up to $50,000 in education grants under the Army College Fund, or up to $35,460 through the Montgomery GI Bill. To qualify for that money, a recruit just needs to be between 17 and 34, enlist for a minimum of three years, pass a physical exam and get a passing grade on the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery test, according to Staff Sgt. Richard Lange. Recruits who serve full-time in the military while taking college classes get their tuition paid 100 percent. “It’s a very, very simple process,” Lange says. But not that simple, Kaye argues. She quotes figures provided by the U.S. Department of Defense showing that the average grant most soldiers receive through

SEVENDAYS I november 05-12, 2003 I fea tu re 2 3 A the GI Bill only amounts to about $6800. Moreover, in order for sol diers to be eligible for that money, they have to first pay $100 per month out of their paychecks for 12 months — something she says many recruiters don’t mention. “If you get discharged for any reason, even if it’s not dishonorable, you’re out of the running,” Kaye points out. “You spent $1200 and you got nothing.” Kaye also reminds young people that enlistment in the military isn’t just a four-year obligation but an eight-year commitment: four years of active service followed by four in the reserve. “Many of those cheerful photographs we saw this spring of people leaving their infants and spouses and medical practices for Iraq are people who thought they were done and who were assured they would only be doing their one weekend a month,” Kaye says. “We tell kids to make sure to get everything in writing,” she adds. “There was one woman who was a career military officer, and she said the biggest phrase she heard com ing out of recruits’ mouths during basic training was, ‘But my recruiter said...’ You know, they’ll promise you the world.” The anti-recruitment offensive has another potent weapon in its arsenal — veterans who are willing to tell students about the grim realities of war. Gary Cheney is a veteran who does counter-recruit ing in several high schools in the Brattleboro and Windham areas. Like many young military recruits of the 1960s, Cheney enlisted in the Army after he was led to believe that it would keep him from being drafted and sent to Vietnam. It didn’t. He fought in the war from 196£ to 19^0. Cheney explains that when he goes into the schools, pro-military students and faculty members give him a chilly or hostile reception — until they learn he’s a Vietnam vet. Then, he says, their attitude soft ens dramatically, and young people seem more willing to trust that what he’s saying is true. “I try to explain to young people that everything you do in life, it’s not just that you do something and then leave it behind,” Cheney says. “That’s what a lot of young people don’t realize. Everything you’ve ever done is like this long movie that you have to watch over and over and over when you can’t sleep at night.” So far, neither Cheney nor Kaye has encountered a military recruiter during their high school visits. Their goal, however, is to be in the schools as often as military recruiters are, and eventually expand their ranks so that counter recruiters can deliver their message into every school in the state. Unlike Uncle Sam, Kaye’s group has to pass the hat at fundraisers and will be lucky if it secures a $1000 grant. Though she admits that not everyone welcomes them with open arms, even some people who are staunchly pro-military admit that teens should get a bal anced picture so they can make an informed decision — whatever that decision is. Has the anti-recruitment cam paign been effective? Hard to say. Sergeant Lange has never even heard of it and says his recruit ment numbers are as strong as ever. And Cheney won’t hazard a guess as to whether his anti-mili tary message is getting through to young people. “I just do this to keep myself sane,” Cheney says. “You can’t talk people out of any thing, but you can sort of put a lit tle reality in front of them.” ©■

Usually, however, those strange people are on O ur Side, politi cally speaking. But tonight is different. Tonight a black helicopter, fat and dark as a turkey vulture, has touched down in the backyard, clearly full of people from the Other Side. The husky is puz zled, her little black-and-white mask pressed against the sliding glass door, trying vainly to smell the two men

He holds up the tube of rakost. “Mind if I sample some of these imports?” I tell him to knock himself out, and he bustles over to the counter, snags some bread from the breadbasket, starts hunting for a knife.

One walks with the slightly off-kilter gait of a para lytic bear; the other wears glasses with squared-off Rotary Club lenses. It’s Cheney and Rumsfeld. They’re making no effort to disguise themselves. I reach down and take the puppy’s col lar, pulling her nose from the glass. “Don’t you fret,” I murmur to her, “you’ll smell them soon enough.”

In our refrigerator, in one of those little white bins in the door, is a metal tube of processed spread, something called riikost, which in Swedish literally means shrimp-cheese. The little bin in the refrigerator door has slowly become its own ethnic enclave over the years — that’s where the rakost tube rubs up against the tubes of fish eggs and mess-

When he’s sitting, you get the full impact of _ Cheney’s face, which is big and round and authoritative, with a built-in curl of the lip that says, I became Vice-President after two heart attacks and two drunkendriving convictions — any questions? “It’ll be a very quick visit,” Cheney is saying. “The President has some intelligence he’d like to share with you.” I’m about to ask if the President really has enough to go around, when I glance over and see that Rumsfeld isn’t eating the piece of bread he’s smeared with all the various Swedish spreads. Instead he’s passing his big Rolex over the sandwich, slowly, over and back again, eyes fixed on the face of the watch. But before I can ask what he’s doing, he catches me looking and squint-smiles again. “Turns out there’s no time for a sandwich,

wouldn’t you know. I’ll just pop this stuff back in your fridge.” That’s weird, but what’s weirder is that while Rumsfeld’s packing the stuff back into the refrigerator and cleaning the crumbs carefully off the counter with a sponge, Cheney is watching him. He’s watching Rumsfeld with a look that’s both casual and doting, the look of a man who has at very long last found something like a soulmate.

The last time I was in the Oval Office, a Democrat was pouring me coffee and offering me some sticky buns. Now it’s low-fat bran muffins and the Republican-to-end-all-Republicans: George W. Bush. I’ve been in the office for about 10 minutes, but it’s long enough to see that everything I thought I knew about the man is wrong. lye always taken it as an^jrticle of faith that tnfe mind of this Bush Was something like Baghdad after 8 p.m.: low-wattage, dimly lit, sporadically chaotic. But I was wrong, as wrong as it’s possible to be. You can immediately sense the powerful hum of his intelligence, the surging of it some where back behind the carefully engi neered frat-boy grin. Like a nuclear power plant, you get the distinct sense that two thirds of George Bush’s mental infrastruc ture is dedicated simply to cooling down the white-hot core. Nothing is as it seems; it’s all wheels within wheels. “Cream, Phil?” he asks now, and I nod. He pours too much in my cup, the way they drink their coffee in Crawford, and then settles back in his comfy chair. “You married a Swede, didn’t you, Phil,” he asks blandly, and then quickly raises a hand. “’Course you did, you fell in love with a good woman, like all of us. You didn’t ask where she was from. You said, for better or for worse, Sweden or no Sweden.” Cheney leans over, head tucked down into his burly chest. Both Cheney and Rumsfeld exhibit constant signs of submission in Bush’s presence, some

thing else I’ve always had backwards. “Phil, the President’s saying that none of us holds your connections to Sweden against you. We understand love as much as the next guys.” Rumsfeld squints at me. “It’s a manysplendored thing, Phil. We know that.” Bush doesn’t even need to clear his throat; the two older men sense his dis pleasure that they’ve joined the conver sation, and they fade back into the sofa. “Thing is, Phil,” Bush continues, “we’ve been getting some alarming intelligence out of Stockholm. Some of it’s single-sourced, credible but isolated. But in other areas we’ve got real bedrock.” He fixes me with the serious look, the one he uses in a speech just before he mentions 9/11. “And it’s some scary bedrock. Scary as all hell.” Bush taps a console on his comfy chair, and a projection screen descends from the ceiling across the room. Suddenly a face appears on the screen, an intelligent face — bushy eyebrows, thick black glasses. It’s Hans Blix, the head of the UN weapons-inspection team just ahead of the attack on Iraq. “I’m sure you know this fella, Phil. Hans Blix. He’s a Swede. Kept us on tenterhooks for weeks, waiting for him to admit there were some nasty weapons over there in Iraq. Never did. Left us out there twisting.” Another slide takes over the screen. A similar face — intelligent, white hair, black glasses. “This one here is Rolf Ekeus. Headed up UNSCOM from ’91 to ’97. Also didn’t find any weapons to speak of, also strung America along. Also a Swede.” Bush turns to me, leans forward in his chair. “Picking up a pat tern here, Phil?” I tell him that two of anything is one less than a pattern, and he gives a weary nod, as though he’s endlessly sur prised by the ability of others to deny the truths he’s found. Suddenly the screen is showing what looks like a live video feed from a laboratory some where. Men in clunky hazardous-envi-

ronment gear are handling a small vial of something gray and chunky. “Ever hear of Surstromming, Phil?” Bush asks, and then he answers his own question. “In Swedish, surstromming means — ” “Sour herring,” I put in. “W hat’s your point?” Cheney and Rumsfeld both come forward in their seats. They don’t like my tone, and Bush does n’t seem to like it much, either. But he keeps himself in check. “Surstromming is a traditional Swedish dish,” Bush continues. “Invented by fisherman. They’d let the herring rot, kinda pickle it. Smells like a barn in August, let me tell you. The CIA has reports that standard surstromming can clear out an entire apartment building. Now look, we know you don’t use the stuff in your own home — Don ran a check earlier on your refrigerator. But see this video here?” We both look back up at the scientists handling the flask. “That’s a CIA counter-terrorism facility, and that bottle you see there’s got a new strain of surstromming in it, something the govern ment over there’s been developing covertly over the last six years. Super-stromming. And the smell of this stuff makes normal rotten her ring smell like Chanel No. 5, believe me.” Bush nods to Cheney, and the Vice President takes over. “Sweden’s Social Democrats have a long-term disruption of American hegemony in mind. They begin with arms experts. Then, at odd intervals, they put out coded pop music, to bring Swedish sleeper cells in the U.S. online. ABBA, Ace of Bass, the Cardigans. We finally realized that groups like those don’t succeed without help. A lot of help.” Now Rumsfeld can’t resist, and he drops the informational bomb.

“W hat we’re saying, Phil, is that the Swedes have developed weapons of mass disruption, and they can use them against us, in our own markets and shopping malls, whenever they choose.” My eyebrows go up at the word disruption, and Rumsfeld waves away my confusion. “Look, terror ists seek disruption. Destruction is only one way of accomplishing that. Say people are in a mall heading for Roli Boli or Taco Bell, and then the stench of rotten herring sends them out to their cars instead. Multiply that by millions of individuals. The economy takes a staggering hit from

something like that.” By unspoken agreement, Bush takes over and makes the emotional pitch. He’s an irresistible deal-closer. “Just imagine, Phil. You and your loved ones are at that mall right by your house, what’s it called, Burlington Town Center? Now imagine you’ve picked up some napkin rings or something at Williams-Sonoma, and you’re sittin’ in the Food Court. You and your family all together there, life is good. And then a man in the corner opens a duffle bag, and unscrews a cap on a jar.” He pauses for effect, glances up at the vial on the screen.

“That stuff could stink up the place pretty bad. Ruin a day of shopping. Maybe you can’t even wear those same clothes again. Ever.” They’re looking at me, all three of them leaning out toward me, faces now close to my face: Bush’s stern but searching, Cheney inscrutable and pugnacious, Rumsfeld pugnacious and inscrutable. Slowly Bush puts his hand out flat in the air, palm down. “We’re going into Stockholm by next August, Phil. We’re gonna shut down the herring factories, topple the Social Democrats, eventually get a free-

market government going over there. Are you with us?” One by one, Cheney and Rumsfeld place their hands over the President’s hand. I look back at the screen, the vial of gray chunks. The logic of all of this is so solid, so impenetrable. And of course, in the New Sweden, an American with connections and some facility in Swedish could go a long, long way. Maybe even Viceroy. I bring my hand down on Rumsfeld’s with a solid clap, and the energy of this strange new quartet fills the room. “Big time,” I tell them. ®

ON T H E BEAT On Tuesday, November 4, the Democratic presidential candidates appeared at a youthfocused forum sponsored by Rock the Vote, MTV's voter project. Here's how the candidates stack up music-wise. • Democratic presidential candidate's Web sites that feature links to songs written by random supporters: Howard Dean and Dennis Kucinich. • Number of songs available through www.georgewbush.com: 0 • Official candidate of the punks, skaters, and goths: Howard Dean, according to www.punxfordean.com. • Number of punk songs available as MP3s on www.songsfordean.com, an unofficial Dean campaign site: 0 • Dean dance mixes available: "What I Wanna Know," available at www.nettonemidas. com/nettonemidas/dean/. • Hip-hop songs available as MP3s in the "Culture Comer" of Dennis Kucinich's Web site, www.kucinich.us: "Go Go Dennis!" by Joel Tyner. • Polka available as MP3s on www.kucinich.us: "The Kucinich Polka" by Lauren Haldeman.

women I spoke with were more practical. For example, Shannon, 23, doesn’t vote because she doesn’t know enough about the candidates. “If I was to vote, I’d be doing it blindfolded,” she says. Markowitz notes that lack of informa tion is one of the major reasons young people say they don’t vote — though frankly, I find it hard to believe they can’t find information. More than any other voting generation in history, this one knows its way around the Internet. Most major candidates have their own Web sites, as do newspapers and issue groups who rate candidates. The first hit on a Google search for “vote” turns up the very handy database at www.vote-smart.org, which has most office-holders indexed. You can type in the last name of your senator, representa tive or state legislator and find out who they are and where they stand on most important issues. But it’s not just ignorance of the can didates that stumps young voters; it’s ignorance of the process itself, a decidedly off-line activity. Markowitz says many young voters stay away out of fear of making a mistake or being embarrassed. That’s why voter education in schools is so important: Once young adults leave school, they’re much harder to reach. The K W program can be a real boost; for one thing, it provides students with the real ballots they’d be using to cast their votes. Chris Brady, a librarian who oversees K W at Vergennes Union High School, likes the fact that the Secretary of State’s office sent him 600 actual ballots for the kids’ mock election. However, he concedes that sometimes the language can be difficult for teenagers to understand. Last year’s amendment to the constitution about retiring judges was a little compli cated. “I still don’t understand what that said,” Brady admits. Richard Allen, an enrichment teacher at Williston Central School District, agrees the K W curriculum is valuable.----

He administers the mock election and coordinates candidate forums for the fifth- to eighth-graders. But he notes that mock elections aren’t enough. “The kids can’t just come down and mark the bal lots,” he says. “You need to digest it with kids, debrief and talk about it.” Those kinds of conversations are sup posed to happen in the classroom, but the teachers, and Markowitz, are concerned that voter education can be easily neglect ed. And she warns that the federally man dated No Child Left Behind Act will make things worse. “The emphasis is on tests and measuring learning,” Markowitz explains, “but civics is a voluntary cur riculum. It isn’t tested.” O f course, school isn’t the only place to pick up political inspiration. Presiden tial races are big news, and during elec tion years the spectacle is hard for even teenagers to ignore. Young Vermonters are already beginning to take note of the 2004 election, possibly because they’re already pretty familiar with one of the Democratic candidates: former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean. Aileen Thomson, a senior at Burlington High School, is one of several students who have formed “Generation Dean” chapters at their schools. A StudentCouncil rep who is also on the Fletcher Free Library’s Teen Advisory Board, Thomson got involved with the Dean for America campaign through its Web site. Her group has only four members so far, but she’s planning to get some organizing tips at the Meetup in November. “A lot of people think their vote doesn’t count,” Thomson says, “and it’s hard for me to think that my personal vote counts, but if a whole lot of people who feel that way vote, it does make a difference.” Dean’s not the only one who’s attracting youthful supporters — Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich has picked up at least one in Plainfield: 13-year-old Dylan Hallsmith. Though he won’t be old enough to vote, Hallsmith designed his own Web site —

He hasn’t met many local Kucinich boosters his age, but, Hallsmith says, “I’ve inspired quite a few peo ple on the Yahoo! Games Web site.” Still, the Democrats haven’t cor nered the youth vote. Most polls indicate the majority of young vot ers are pro Bush. But their opin ions won’t register if they don’t make it to the polls. Markowitz is hoping to hear some ideas about how to turn them on, and turn them out, at her workshop. One student who says she’ll be there is Amelia FJagen-Dillon, a senior at the Gailer School in Shelburne. She’s organizing a voter-registration drive of her own on Dec. 16 at Gailer. The event will feature a panel discussion with political speakers — Anthony Pollina’s the only definite so far. A coffeehouse will follow, with music and refreshments. A notary public will be on hand to administer the Voter’s Oath. Hagen-Dillon — who’s still only 17 — thinks that voter apa thy among her generation is “pret ty sad.” Voting, she says, is a responsibility. “You can’t tell everyone to go out and change the world,” she says, “but you can tell them to get out and vote and use the power they do have.” Some young voters I spoke with were more blunt. Sam, a 19-yearold hanging out on Church Street, told me he loves to vote. In his opinion, people who complain about politics but don’t vote are the real political geeks. “If you don’t vote,” he says, “it sucks to be you.”

Fine Lines

n the cover of Burlington resident David Cavanagh’s first collection of poems is an image of Karl Wallenda, patriarch of the famous circus fam ily, who once said, “Life happens on the wire. Everything else is just waiting.” Walking the tightrope far above a gaping crowd, Wallenda gives STORY MARGOT a second, more provocative meaning to the work’s HARRISON title. Is the “middleman” a dull non-entity through whom life’s transactions pass: a middling man? Or The Middlem an is he a man who, by walking the wire between by D avid C avanagh, extremes, ends up right in the center of the action? S alm o n P u b lish in g , In a talk-radio culture of polarized opinions, 63 p ag es, $ 1 3 .9 5 . the “middle way” often gets a bad rap. W hat is D avid C avanagh moderation, some might ask, if not a cop-out, an w ill give re a d in g s a t CCV in abnegation of the quest for moral clarity? But the B u rlin g to n , speaker of Cavanagh’s poems hasn’t abnegated any Nov. 19, 7 p .m .; thing; he’s still struggling with difficult truths. a n d Book King The speaker in the title poem “hover[s] in R u tla n d , Nov. 2 5 m 7 p .m . between comfort and terror,” high on his imagi nary wire. W hat inspires this vertigo? The poem evokes a culture of repellent extremes: “pumpedup media sex,/the smother love o f stuff... or else the cold bare/locker of denial.” But these aren’t the only abysses Cavanagh’s poems navigate. There are the borders within and between nations — Cavanagh was raised in Montreal. There are the gaps that open between lovers. And, on a more elemental level, there is the wire we must all try to walk as gracefully as we can

T h e s p e a k e r in th e title p o e m “hover[s] b e tw e e n c o m fo rt a n d terror,” high on his im ag in ary wire. between youth and old age, the prime of life and its slow decline. Cavanagh’s meditations on death lead him toward larger and more affirmative statements, both political and personal. In “It’s So Much Like Missiles,” written at the height o f 1980s “evil empire” rhetoric, the two merge. The missiles are a “message” from one nation to another that wipes out the possibility o f future communication, much as a careless silence between friends or fami ly members is bound to lapse, sooner or later, into the unbreakable silence o f death. Cavanagh never stops reminding us that dying is part and parcel o f living, a part that becomes distressingly evident as we age. “[Y]ou are 28 and

suddenly/your life has bounds...” he writes in “And.” Many of these poems could be accurately characterized as “midlife crisis” literature. It’s a genre prone to navel gazing, but Cavanagh man ages to keep his introspections out of the morass of self-absorption, leavening them with bold imagery, colloquial language and stinging humor. The poet is at his best when he uses atj; ironic, ornery voice to express the dilemmas of the “middle man.” “Call It,” the wonderful first poem that opens the collection, runs through a catalogue of fashion able designations for “the midlife thing,” each more darkly satirical than the last, before becoming deadly serious. “Or if you can get past the LLBeannessof it all, the Oprah and Regis of it,/if you can get past the self-help book/(7m a Shithead, You’re a Shithead)Jcd\\ it not wanting ever to die.” The poem is a dark night of the soul, mordant and nihilistic as Philip Larkin’s “Aubade,” yet its flood of language and its quick-witted cultural ref erences are strangely invigorating. The same is true of “Mr. Anderson Is Alive and Must Get Used to It,” a series of fractured sonnets that seems to stage the age-old dialogue between the Poet and the People — or perhaps between the poet and himself. Like many poets, Mr. Anderson craves solitude to muse on evanescent beauties and the passage of time. But the larger world demands positive action, as a disruptive voice, identified only as a “working stiff,” reminds him: “Its a duckout, Mr. A., this settling, this crawl. ”Mr. A., res olutely cynical when he isn’t lost-in dreams, is hav ing none of it: “Find meaning in each day?/Your problem, buster, not mine.” In these and other poems, Cavanagh never for gets that the poet/middleman also walks a wire between the world of poets past and present and that of “working stiffs” who may not expect a poet to speak to their concerns. There’s no preaching about the oppressed or the silenced here, but there are quiet tributes to those whose labor has done lit tle to enrich their lives — 'summed up in the caus tically funny allegory “The Drone.” And there’s one spooky poem in which a recalcitrant student addresses an English teacher: “the truth is/i don’t wanna talk/like you/.../m y language/only is this tearing stretch of my/events against the telling.” These poems suggest that the student’s sense of a “tearing stretch” between opposing forces is also the poet’s experience — the line that all “middle men” walk between silence and ambient cultural noise, trying in their own faltering ways to express the truth. It’s a high-wire act at which Cavanagh succeeds.

It's So Much Like M issiles

One day you hear they've been fired— the missiles, I mean— you imagine them curving like so many Golden Gates between a hundred cities, serene vapour trails with some message you cannot imagine, and don't have to, for you know you have one half of one hour. And everything's suddenly simple, like the time you heard your father had died, long-distance the phone clicking softly as a heart while you felt everything , freeze in your tiny kitchen, altered, and impossibly unchanged. And the funny thing is not that they've gone Up— the missiles, I mean— but that they remind you of something you didn't do, some words you didn't say, just didn't take the trouble to say, like the time you were leaving town, and a friend, and you never told her how much she meant to you, and you never saw her again. Now missiles are flying, and it's just like when your father died, and the visit you'd put off became a dream-train you lived on nightly, dark train pounding on smoothest rails of guilt, and never ever arriving. The thing about what's unsaid is you can never take it back. If you had made that final visit you'd have fought with him, most probably, over Trudeau, or disarmament, something not too close. And it would have been furious and futile till it hit you that this time he was dying, and you'd have stopped, and so would he, both of you sheepish, feeling each other sheepish, awkwardness your last strange sharing. But the thing about not visiting, not loving enough to say or fight or apologize or see something new between you— the thing about not saying is it's so much like those missiles up there, on the way, on the final way, so undone, so unsaid, and so impossible to take back.

ARTWORK "U n titled F ish " by M atthew M azzotta

allways are a throwaway bit of architectural detail. Most people see them as nothing more than a way to connect room A with room B. But maybe corridors are worth reconsidering. After all, they are where journeys, however brief, take place, and journeys can be transformative. In his classic song “The Times They Are A-Changin’,” Bob Dylan implores senators and congressmen, “Don’t stand in the doorway, don’t block up the hall,” highlighting the notion that when people move unhindered, progress is made. Lingering in the hall is more acceptable, however, especially to look at art. The times are a-changin’ at the Community College of Vermont and its halls are involved in that change. CCV’s Burlington headquarters has begun using passageways as exhibition spaces. Among the first artists on the new showschedule are Matthew Mazzotta and Lydia Bright. Mazzotta’s “Sneakers and Creatures” show is located on the first floor of the Cherry Street Atrium; Bright’s “Refuge” is in the Pearl Street lobby hallway. Mazzotta’s sneakers are assemblages held together with staples; his creatures are sometimes cartoonish, sometimes surreal. Titles are not provided, but the images are often a single form in space. His image of a fish might be a linocut, and it hangs on a loose piece of paper. Compos ition does not seem to be a concern for Mazzotta. In his seagull collage and octopus illustration, he simply created a main figure and colored in around it. It would be nice to see him go a little deeper, both conceptually and tech nically. All of Mazzotta’s works include recycled materials, according to his artist statement, and that’s evident with his tennis-shoe pieces. Shoes and bits cut from them are sta pled onto the paintings. One piece includes a shoe cut into a fish shape — fillet of sole, perhaps? Another has two monkey forms hanging beneath the shoe. Mazzotta is still experimenting, and his “Sneakers and Creatures” show rep resents a step in an emerging artist’s journey. Bright’s seven oil paintings — also unaccompanied by titles — are all about 40 inches square, and her works have

a solid technical consistency that enables the paintings to support one other. Hanging large-scale work in a hall makes for tough viewing. On the other hand, in tight quar ters viewers can get a really good look at the surface and the paint handling. The majority of Bright’s works are earth-toned, abstractexpressionistic pieces that include figures or references to the figure. She’s a wizard at manipulating the plasticity of the medium, and most of these paintings are highly tex tured. One that includes the large face of a white-haired

MCNICKLE: Im pressionistic works in acrylic, watercolor, pencil and collage, greenhouse; and JAVIER CINTRON:

man has a turbulent surface resembling a Jovian moon shot by the Galileo spacecraft. Bright works in thinner paint with apparently equal ease. A predominantly blue piece, which includes three male figures with hats, was painted with veils of color rather than impasto gobs. There are also Xerox transfers in the piece, and these couldn’t have been used if the paint handling were not as flat. Collage also plays a role in these paintings. Two old photos are included in a burnt-umber piece with five blue boxes on a diagonal axis. Bright has a larger bag of tricks than does Mazzotta so far, and her show is accordingly more coherent. Artpath Gallery in Burlington blazed the hallway-asvenue trail last year, and CCV is following suit. Considering how many underutilized corridors exist, the idea may spread. As long as no one blocks up the hall, it’s a great location for getting close to art. ®

INTERIOR MOTIVATIONS Bright colors and cheerful forms abound in the works of Alison Goodwin, currently dis played at Furchgott Sourdiffe Gallery in Shelburne. Goodwin's irre pressibly sunny cityscapes, landscapes and interiors, such as "Blue Table" (pictured) are chock-full of complex chromatic harmonies and sophisticated patterning reminiscent of Matisse — albeit without his occasional Fauvist angst.

ritics may as well pen reviews of Jane Campion’s new film in disappearing ink. The movie will be forgotten before most of them are ever read. Where to begin, and why even bother? Because Campion directed The Piano once upon a time, and so the apparent disintegration of her talent has signifi cance to the world of cinema. And because the picture stars Meg Ryan, who was for a time America’s Sweetheart. If nothing else, In the Cut offers a lesson in how far the mighty cute can fall, and how low some will go to reclaim their place at the top. The actress gives a dazed, emotion ally out-of-focus performance in the role of a New York high-school teacher who needs the help of a good guidance counselor more desperately than any of her inner-city students do. The film adapts Susanna Moore’s novella about a young woman drawn into a dark, dangerous sexual underworld. For no reason either conceivable or clarified by the script, Frannie Avery thinks noth ing of holding an after-school confer ence with a male student in a dingy bar; she has reason to suspect a detec tive (Mark Ruffalo) may be the serial killer terrorizing her neighborhood, but decides to date him anyway; and she doesn’t think to ask a tightly wound Kevin Bacon to return the key she gave him to her apartment even though she’s this close to getting a restraining order against the guy.

One typical edge-dwelling after noon, the educational professional wanders into the luridly lit basement of a club and happens upon a man and woman in the process of a sexual act. The woman, she notes, has long blue fingernails, the man, an unusual tattoo. Shortly thereafter it comes to her attention that a murder victim had blue fingernails and that Ryan’s new boyfriend, who’s investigating the crime, has the same tattoo on exactly the same part of his body. A lot of women would think relationship red flag. Ryan’s character thinks what a perfect time for a kinky, R-rated romp. Which brings us to the sorry spec tacle of the actress lately doing the schmooze circuit and at every turn alerting potential ticket buyers to the fact that she appears nude in Campion’s “erotic thriller.” And not just nude, but nuder than ever. Shockingly, unbelievably, naughtily nude. In addition to being pathetic and, let’s face it, sleazy, this is also fac tually inaccurate. The nudity is brief and partial, the sex as steamy as dayold rice, and there isn’t a thrill to be found within a mile of this film. Though there are laughs aplenty. I’ve seen Stooges episodes in which less goofball stuff happens. My favorite is probably the sequence in which Ryan gets into the car driven by Ruffalo and his partner though they’re

both virtual strangers. She winds up at a seedy bar with them (doesn’t this woman have homework to grade?) and the two guys begin making disgusting comments of a sexual nature, prompt ing her to leave. Outside, she attempts to flag down a cab. We see one — just one — whoosh by. The next thing we see is Ryan walking home across town by herself late at night through desert ed, garbage-strewn back alleys. Then she’s surprised when she gets mugged. With people like this teaching our kids, is it any wonder they’re falling behind the rest of the world? There’s a subplot involving a halfsister (Jennifer Jason Leigh) who lives over a strip club. It’s easy to believe she’s related to Ryan, since she man ages to be surprised that noise from the joint can make it hard to sleep. There are arty shots of New York City’s grungier spots. And, to remind us that this is a Hollywood drama and not late-night cable porn, there are severed limbs and bloody heads in plastic bags. Most of all, though, there is the dull tango danced by Ryan and Ruffalo: Is he the killer? Will she be the next to die? Is there any reason we should care? In the end, not really.

But, put him behind a digi tal video camera and the 26-year-old Burlington resident is transformed into a “kamikaze-style” filmmaker. His debut feature, The Predicament, will have three screenings on November 8 at The Roxy. The movie is about a screenwriter whose therapy session involves some fan ciful storytelling.

2001, the prQject soon stalled. La Croix spent a year reeling from the events of 9/11 and the unrelated death of a good friend. “I was trying to heal and recon figure my approach to life,” he says. Although his life began in Massachusetts, the family moved to Vermont in 1987. “We ran an inn in Danville for a few years,” La Croix explains. “That dream fell apart in 1992.” The Feds revoked his parents’ loans after the bank they were doing business with was nailed for laundering millions of dollars. But their son wasn’t thinking about that traumatic period when he wrote The Predicament, in which four imaginary thieves — figments in the mind of a wordsmith portrayed by La Croix himself — attempt to rob a bank. “They all represent me, in a way,” he acknowledges. “They reflect my subcon scious.” The cops who go after these “crooks” are genuine: Two uniformed officers from the Burlington Police Department and their cruisers appear in the scene, which was completed in one 14-hour day. To capture the interior of a bank, La Croix took over the former Windham Financials space on College Street. A high-ranking employee there gave him the location in return for “making her children into stars,” he says. La Croix considers his 70-minute film “an action-adventure,” but he points out, “I’m really philosophizing about the meaning of violence in the media.” Although he focused on the culinary arts in his high-school years, La Croix was drawn to the cinematic arts via a video-production class. He won “bestpicture” nods for two assignments: a documentary and a faux orange-juice commercial.

Inspired by John O ’ Brien, the enter prising Tunbridge auteur of the recent Nosey Parker, La Croix decided “to just go out and do it.” But the resources to create illusion can often be elusive, as he discovered with the sudden departure of a local producer who had promised to finance The Predicament and donate equipment. “I learned to become my own produc er,” La Croix says. “That’s kind of a mixed blessing.” With a budget under $8000, he sold “profit shares,” applied for grants, and dug into his own not-so-deep pockets. La Croix recruited nonprofessional actors and a multitasking crew, while also per suading the Vermont rock band Concentric to donate instrumentals for the soundtrack. The $8 tickets for the 5, 7 and 9 p.m. shows are available at Pure Pop or, unless they’re already sold out, at the door. For another $5, the public can attend a 10 p.m. cast party at the Opaline Gallery. Should all go well, La Croix estimates he’ll only be left with $2000 worth of debt. Another project on the horizon, The Crystal Method, will be a sci-fi trilogy in the form of an online graphic novel. For the time being, the La Croix Method requires a balance of filmmaking and dishwashing skills.

widely regarded as a feminist icon for her film, The Piano. In the overrated 1993 drama, Holly Hunter’s musically inclined character loses a finger to the axe wielded by her domineering husband. A decade later the New Zealand-born Campion is once again chopping off women’s body parts. Her contrived In the Cut (see full review page 43A), puts its heroine Frannie, an English teacher played by Meg Ryan, at the mercy of a serial slasher. Gore-fests aside, Campion’s most seri ous crime is forcing viewers to endure a profusion of skanky settings: The protag onist, who is collecting street slang, arranges an inappropriate after-school meeting with a black teenage student at what has to be the skankiest bar in Manhattan. Her sister (Jennifer Jason Leigh, whose performance screams “vic tim”) lives above a skankier-than-usual strip club. Frannies own downtown apartment? Skanky. As vile a movie as you’re likely to see all year, In the Cut is more film murk than film noir. And it stands in sharp contrast to An Angel at My Table. That haunting mini-series about a real-life novelist wrongly diagnosed with schizo phrenia was broadcast on Australian TV in 1990, before Campion lost her aes thetic way. (Z)

LONG-WINDED Flutist David Fedele has a set of lungs that just won't quit. It's a wonder he manages to breathe between long, complex phrases. The fluting phenom has been making it look easy since he was a penny-whistle-tooting tike. The Julliard grad made his musical debut at New York's 92nd Street Y. Now one of the world's most celebrated flutists, he makes annual summertime stops at the Vermont Mozart Festival. This week Fedele presents an all-Bach program, accompanied on harpsichord by fellow festival veteran Elizabeth Metcalfe of Burlington. Fedele's full-body approach makes his performance anything but cliche. Brring, hissing, twisting, bending and rising, he puts Pan in his place.

AMERICAN NIGHTMARE? Asian-Americans are still most often depicted in today's media as Kung-Fu fighters or laundromat owners. But you won't see any board-breaking or shirt-starching in Alex Luu's Three Lives. The Los Angeles playwright-actor's one-man performance piece tells the true story of his family's escape from war-torn Vietnam on the last American chopper to leave Saigon. Taking the perspectives of four generations of Luu males, Alex reveals the fear of assimilation that comes with pursuing the American dream. Believing "the Asian-male experience is still a mystery," Alex created his show in 1997. Turn off your Jackie Chan film and get a realistic perspective on Asian-American life this week at St. Michael's College.

NORTHERN EXPOSURE If Finlandia vodka is the only taste of Finnish culture you've ever experienced, you might want to check out FinnFunn, New England's largest gathering of suomalainen — Finnish folks. The immigrant-organized event includes Finnish films and a lecture on landscape. Hands-on types can practice making pulla, while non-Finns can find out what that is at a workshop on "Finglish." Other offerings focus on salmon smoking, sauna building and "rock art and reindeer." The Finn-filled day finishes with kantele music and feasting on foods such as "grandma's coffee lamb" and pulla — which, by the way, is a kind of bread.

I got beat up by these guys last week and shoved in a dumpster, so I went down to the costume store and bought me this suit and then figured out super powers for me.

Yesterday, I went back and found them guys in that sam e alleyway behind the bus station and taught ’em a little lesson.

And that lesson is: “Don’t ever beat up a guy whose super powers are running you over with an idling Greyhound bus while the driver is fakin' a smoke break.”

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19):

figure in one of her dreams proclaimed that she had only 100 months (less than nine years) left to live. It just goes to show you that even the smartest, most refined students of the great mys teries are susceptible to being deceived about important matters by the little voices in their heads. Be aware of that as you listen to the jabber that fills your inner landscape in the coming week.

Couvade occurs in a variety of indige nous cultures. It’s a phenomenon in which a man experiences morning sickness, unusual appetites and other symptoms similar to his pregnant mate. There’s no known physiological basis for it. He may even have labor pains as the child is born, diminishing the mother’s distress as if he has myste riously been able to take some of it on. I suggest we make couvade your word of power for now, Aries. It’s likely that someone close to you will soon be giv ing birth, at least metaphorically. The more you help bear a share of the won derful ordeal, the bigger your reward will be later.

“Dear Rob: Help! I’m stuck! I give till it hurts, then lash out at those I’ve lav ished my generosity on. I hope too much, setting expectations too high almost on purpose so I have an excuse if things don’t pan out. I worry about everything that might go wrong, some times precipitating exactly what I worry about. Please advise!— Virgo in a Rut” Dear Virgo: The lucid honesty you just demonstrated is a first step in quitting your addiction to the unwant ed behaviors you described. Now is a perfect time, astrologically speaking, to go further. The next step is to feel compassion and forgiveness for the part of you that acts so automatically.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The Cancerian mascot is the crab, which is typically a small, shy creature that moves sideways and backwards a lot. The giant land crab o f Cuba is a species apart, however. It runs so fast it can outrace a horse. I nominate this super-crab to serve as your power ani mal during the coming weeks, when cosmic forces will be conspiring to make you exceptionally robust, forceful and direct. Charge!

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): Change your relationship with mirrors, Taurus. If you tend to be obsessed with what they tell you, lose your addiction and escape their tyranny. If you usually avoid them out of fear, summon your courage and approach them with your warrior’s heart fully engaged. And in the event you’re typically rather apa thetic towards them, develop a more intimate connection. It’s time to shift the dynamic between you and your reflection.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Your body contains enough iron to make a spike strong enough to hold your weight.” So proclaims the www.madscience.com Web site. I would like you to visualize yourself holding such a spike right now, Libra. Think of it as your secret talisman for the coming weeks — an inspirational symbol that will motivate you to transform your flabby sense of purpose into an iron will. You now have the power to inten sify your discipline and drive beyond what you ever imagined was possible.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): To gather research for his book, The Age o f Missing Information, Bill McKibben watched 1700 hours of videotaped TV shows. In the midst of the babble he detected a single subliminal message flowing relentlessly: “You are the most important thing on Earth.” He was disturbed by his discovery, seeing it as a big reason our culture is infected with toxic levels of narcissism. Normally I share his aversion, but this week I’m making an exception. For a limited time only, Leo, you truly are the most important thing on Earth. Soak up the glory, the attention and the adoration — and be prepared to exercise far more responsibility than usual, too.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Gemini Kathleen Raine won several literary awards for her mystical nature poetry and was a highly respected scholar who specialized in William Butler Yeats and William Blake. She died last August at age 95. An obituary in The Daily Telegraph noted that she was surprised to have survived so long. More than 35 years ago, a prophetic

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Warning and congratulations! Wake-up calls are on tap. Here are examples of the kinds of benevolent shocks you may be treated to. 1. You reverently approach a cherished idol. As you bow down, you spy a dirty sock on the floor. 2. You dream of hiking through green hills in springtime. As you loop

SAGITTARIUS <nov. 22-Dec. 21): Many mythic traditions describe an underworld where souls reside after death and where those who are still alive can visit to gain desper ately needed insights. The latter cate gory fits you right now, Sagittarius. You’re wandering in the shadowy nether regions, searching for clues that will be of use to you when you come back to deal with your problems here in the sunlit realm. I’m guessing that this exploration, as confounding as it may be, is actually pretty fun in an eerie sort of way. The really hard part will come once it’s time for your return. You may be tempted to hang around down there too long. Don’t. The treasure you find will be wasted unless you bring it back promptly.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Thinking is more interesting than knowing, but less interesting than look ing.” T hat’s what the German writer Goethe said back in the 19th century, and it’s especially true for you now. Here’s a corollary that’s true only for you in the next two weeks: “Thinking is more useful than knowing, but less useful than looking.” In other words, Capricorn, gathering facts and being an expert should be your lowest priority in the coming days. Questioning and ana

T E R

lyzing should be moderately important. But the activity you should emphasize most is seeing into the heart of the world around you with compassionate, penetrating objectivity.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You have the keys to doors that don’t exist yet; save those keys. You know the titles for stories that haven’t happened yet; write those titles down. You’ve caught glimpses of your future, but they’re confusing because you can’t imagine how you’ll get to that future; imprint those glimpses on your mem ory. In conclusion, Aquarius, shout “hallelujah” and pour yourself a glass of champagne. You have all you need to cultivate a potent kind of faith that’s based on hard data, not hopes and wishes.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): In addition to meditations on the cosmic omens, my preparations for writing this horoscope were extensive. I read John Milton’s book, Paradise Lost, and the sequel, Paradise Regained. I ate both gourmet organic meals and greasy junk food. I rode the roller coaster with my scholarly friend Arthur, with whom I discussed the Kabbalah and watched horror films in the basement apartment of my smart but degenerate friend Rocky, who’s writing a novel about his past life as a queer pirate in a 17th-cen tury anarchist community in Barbados. In other words, Pisces, to work myself into the right frame of mind to channel your oracle, I had to soar to the tran scendent heights and plunge into the grungy depths — sort of like what you’ll be doing this week. ®

And if you can demonstrate that in a simple follow-up, imagine what that person thinks you’ll do for his or her company.

BY MARC STENGEL C R U IS IN G W ITH A C AR CRITIC

D ude, W h e re ’s My C a rg o

he handwriting is on the wall, and the automakers are beginning to read it. A tide of sentiment is turning against the excesses o f North American truck culture. As their response, witness the man ufacturers’ flurry of creativity devoted to innova tive re-combinations o f “sport” and “utility” and “vehicle.” Two fascinating 2004 models from General Motors— the Chevrolet Malibu Maxx and G M C ’s Envoy XUV— are cases in point.

2004 GMC ENVOY XUV 5-PASS., 4-DOOR; RWD & 4WD, 4.2-UTERDOHC INLINE-6 W/VVT (275 HP/275 FT.-LBS.; 15 MPG/CITY, 19-20 MPG/HWY) & 5.3-LITER 0HV V8 (290 HP/325 FT.-LBS.; 14-15 MPG/CITY, 18-20 MPG/HWY); CARGO: 49-93 CU. FT. & 1,250 LBS.; BASE PRICES: $31,890-$38,715

2004 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx According to the GM presenters showcasing the Malibu Maxx at its media debut, this vehicle is a five-door crossover— whatever that means. We baby boomers aren’t fooled. It’s a hatchback, pure and simple, albeit modernized in particu larly clever ways. Based on G M ’s “Epsilon” platform that it shares with the Saab 9-3, the Maxx is six inches longer than its sedan sibling; and it wears a crisply sculpted exterior whose rear hatch opens onto nearly 23 cu. ft. o f cargo space. A moveable shelf provides three-tiered storage possibilities. W ith a rubberized concave surface on one side, it even holds wet togs without slurping. Yank up the floorboard, and out hinge the legs necessary to create a tailgater’s table top. ^5" The second-row bench is split 60/40 to allow different flat-folding expansions o f cargo space up to about 63 cu. ft. Fold the front-passenger seatback as well, and you reveal around 83 cu. ft. of total stowage with a maximum dimension o f nine feet. Maxx is a quick-change artist that disports itself variously as a Euro-flavored sport-touring wagon, a five-passenger daily com m uter and a weekend cargo warrior. It does so with a reason ably gutsy 3.5-liter V6 making 200 horsepower on a fuel diet o f 21 miles-per-gallon/City, 29 mpg/Highway. Clever electronics allow remote starting from many yards away— while the doors remain locked, no less. Four-wheel independent suspension and anti lock disk brakes enliven ride and handling. A price range from $22,000 to $25,000 puts comparably sized compact SUVs on notice. If only the option al front-to-rear head curtain airbags were standard, alas.

2004 GMC Envoy XUV By best guess, “XUV” stands for something like “Xtra Utility Vehicle.” However you explain it, the Envoy XUV is Xtremely Weird, although I mean that entirely as a compliment, because the XUV exemplifies “out of the box” thinking in a most literal way. The XUV is a seven-passenger G M C Envoy XL whose third-row folding seat has been replaced by a handym an’s playpen lined with scuff-resisting vinyl and measuring 49 cu. ft. Amidships— behind the second-row split-bench seats— is a folding “midgate” panel incorporating a huge electric window. Overhead is a powerretracting roof panel, and at rear is a drop-swing tailgate that can either swing open from the side or flop down flat. The cargo box is specially plum bed to drain 30 gallons a m inute, even as the midgate seals the cabin from leaks. So you can go mulching, then spray the XUV clean with a garden hose. If

you’re antiquing, just bring home that grandfather clock stand ing proud through the roof in all its glory. Load up on plywood, and with the midgate folded flat, you can swallow a foot-high stack o f four-by-eight sheets. T he XUV is available with a standard 4.2-liter inline-six making 275 hp or a $1,500 optional 5.3-liter V8 which makes 290 hp and is better suited for towing. Rear- and four-wheel-drive powertrains are available, resulting in a spectrum o f base prices from $31,890 to $38,715. Fuel economy is disappointing at 14 to 15 mpg/City, 18 to 20 mpg/Highway, depending on the pow ertrain.

LOLA

th e lo v e c o u n s e lo r Dear Lola, "Elsie" and I are having trouble connecting sexually. We're quite compatible in most other respects. We enjoy the same music and movies and have a lot of fun talking and partying, but things are less than great in the sack. We go through all the motions the manuals prescribe, but Elsie never seems to let loose. She says she's happy, but I've been with other women and I know when something's missing. According to a sexual astrology Web site I recently stumbled across, a Taurus like Elsie enjoys having her toes sucked one by one. However, when I tried performing this service, she just started laughing and told me not to be ridiculous. Is sexual astrology for real? Baffled in Burlington Dear Baffled, Let's see. Predicting a person's sexual proclivities based on his or her birthday: hard science or hoax? I'll have to give that question some thought. In the meantime, if contemplating the positions of the planets helps you contemplate other sorts of positions, what's the harm? But given your obvious worldliness around women and the otherworldly nature of this, er, science, if you're really concerned about pleasing your partner, I'd sug gest you contemplate something a bit more down-to-earth. Love, Lola
