ABSINTHE W I T H O U T LEAVE I read with interest your column on the subject of absinthe ["Straight Dope," October 24] and the resultant effects of imbibing said beverage. It seemed from the mood of the article written that the author did good research, but never quite met the face of this bottled hooligan in person. I spent roughly eight months in Spain recently, and thought I might weigh in on the subject. Now, I should say that I am a self-confessed alcoholic; I like my drink. But absinthe is something the likes of which I have never encountered, not in the lagersoaked halls of London, nor even in the infamous Casa de Mezcal in magical Mexico. No, none of the other storied concoctions can match or even come close to a night with absinthe.

Vermont? Sakura. If she's already thrilled in the variety of exquisite oddities offered, that's a giant leap toward a compatible future.

Normal people, even regular drinkers who succumb to the inevitable transformations of dipsomania, are sent on an altogether other-worldly journey that has them acting fruity, loopy, zany and endeavoring upon such madness that I am confident it is not just the alcohol. The exact ingredients of todays modern Spanish absinthe are unknown to me, but it is safe to say it has very strong hallucinogenic effects, not to mention the

I loved your Rosetta the chicken story ["Chicken Big," October 31]. Some other people have been blessed to learn the love and vivacious personality of chickens and that these lovely, feeling birds have a lot to teach us about loyalty and a love of life and contact with others. Surely they deserve much more than most receive on factory farms in battery cages with hardly any room and a horrid, short life and terrifying death. Much more than soup and dinner, these birds are excellent parents and wonderful companions for humans. With more stories like these about chickens and other animals, perhaps more people will come to find they can not only survive without eating them, but will be healthier and much happier for it. Chickens can live as part of the family as nicely as dogs and

cats. No more "a chicken in every pot." Let's make it "a chicken in every lap." Thanks for the inspiring story. — Dorene Schultz Lebanon, New Jersey INTERNATIONAL MUSIC: LET'S HEAR IT Since I have never been known to be politically correct, I feel compelled to reply to Prof. Sean Stilwells letter ["Weekly Mail," October 31]. I've looked carefully at the Flynn-produced flyer at my home and cannot find any references that the members of Nzemba Lela would perform naked. The only time that I saw near-naked "savages" at the Flynn in the last 15 years was a contemporary honky dance ensemble that performed topless at the end of their concert. The teach-in, however, is at the top of the list of activities associated with this performance. The flyer describes the event as a "focus on Central Africa — its culture, history, environment, economics and geography — to provide a cultural context from which to understand the performance and the challenging issues facing Centrafrique today." It does not appear as a separate event sponsored by the University

Curses, Foiled Again T h e New York Post reported in September that police in Suffolk County, New York, were seeking Ildiko Varga, 25, a 5 Hungarian woman who fled her job as an au pair in Long Island in May. T h e article said Varga was accused of locking the 6year-old girl she was supposed to be watching in the bathroom and ransacking her employers Nesconset home. The day after the article appeared, the fugitive approached a police officer in New York City and asked if she could sue the paper for printing "something bad" about her. T h e officer told Varga she could sue the paper for libel if the story was wrong, then suggested she accompany him to the station to talk about the suit. Once there, the officer called Suffolk County police, who arrived and arrested her.

Aftershocks The U.S. government announced it was changing the color of Humanitarian Daily Rations food packets being dropped in Afghanistan from yellow to blue so Afghan civilians wouldn't mistake them for unexploded bomblets from cluster bombs, which are also yellow. "It's unfortunate that the cluster bombs — the unexploded ones — are the same color as the food packets," Joint Chiefs

of Staff chairman Gen. Richard B. Myers told the Washington Post before the switch, indicating civilians "get used to running to yellow." • Officials in Dutchess County, New York, removed names from several prominent government buildings in Poughkeepsie to make them harder for potential terrorists to identify, although one expert in security and terrorism said the action wouldn't be a significant deterrent. "If someone wants to do something," said Philip Stern, who works for FTI Consultants in Manhattan, "they're going to figure out which is the big building in Poughkeepsie." • Two South Florida men, David Pitchford and David Bruner, filed a $1.1 trillion federal lawsuit against Osama bin Laden, charging he threatened them with personal injury and intentionally inflicted emotional distress. According to the suit, the plaintiffs had to build and refortify their bomb shelters because of bin Laden's threats. They said the threats also caused them personal injury, including high blood pressure and stomach disorders. • Slovakia experienced a brief scare over a possible anthrax attack when tens of thousands of suspicious envelopes arrived in mailboxes. After receiving dozens of calls, police rushed to

investigate but discovered the envelopes contained promotional samples of Procter & Gamble's Maxi-Pad sanitary napkins. • A woman from Washington state, who had become frustrated with the red tape involved in proving her 25-year-old son dead to the company processing his student loans, sent a letter and a plastic bag containing some of his ashes to Sallie Mae's offices in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, on October 12. "We treated it as an anthrax

district attorney, recognized the address as the site of a suspected drug ring and issued search warrants to police, who seized 3000 ecstasy tablets, hashish, marijuana, drug paraphernalia, guns and ammunition from the apartment.

"He didn't leave his post." • Triumph International (Japan)

scare. It was a gray powdery substance," said company vice president Joseph Bailey, noting the office handles more than 100,000 pieces of mail a day. "People were freaking out and going to the doctor thinking they had handled anthrax." • Hours after the attack on the World Trade Center, firefighters sweeping areas that had been placed off limits reported a person at an address a few hundred yards from the disaster site who refused to evacuate his smoke and debris-filled apartment. Robert Morgenthau, Manhattan

Ltd: announced it is developing a metal-free bra in response to tighter airport security procedures. Instead of metal wires and hooks, the new Frequent Flyers' Bra uses resinous wires and non-magnetic metal hooks to avoid triggering airport security detectors. The company said the new bra would go on sale with matching panties for $31.40 in December.

Art, Schmart The same night that British conceptual artist Damien Hirst assembled his latest work in the

window of a Mayfair gallery, a cleaning man took it apart and threw it away because he thought it was garbage. The work consisted of half-full coffee cups, ashtrays with cigarette butts, empty beer bottles, a paint-smeared palette, an easel, a ladder, paintbrushes, candy wrappers and newspaper pages strewn about the floor. Heidi Reitmaier, head of special projects for the Eyestorm Gallery, put the work's sales value at "six figures," but the custodian disagreed. "As soon as I clapped eyes on it, I sighed because there was so much mess," Emmanuel Asare, 54, told the Evening Standard newspaper. "It didn't look much like art to me. So I cleared it all in bin bags, and I dumped it." • British "media artist" Matt Rogalsky said he planned to spend 24 hours monitoring the BBC's current affairs channel Radio 4 and collecting the gaps between words. He will transcribe the recorded silence onto 24 audio CDs, which he will sell in a limited edition boxed set for $426. Rogalsky said he got the idea after reading about U.S. radio talk show hosts complaining about the new technology that allows radio station owners to edit out fragments of silence between words to increase the time available for advertising messages.

of the

Reunion ; BY JERNIGAN PONTIAC

t was 2 a.m. on a Saturday night and, right on schedule, the downtown bars were turning out their faithful. As I steered my taxicab down the hill, I could see about 40 people standing in the street, arms raised in cab-hailing semaphores. The late-night crowd regularly grouses about the dearth of cabs at closing time. I've given up responding with the simple supply-and-demand explanation: It would be economic suicide for the cab companies to build up their fleets based on the off-the-chart spike in business that comes and quickly ebbs within one hour of bar closing. All the public knows is, "Where the hell are the cabs?" I pulled over and two women, perhaps in their early thirties, jumped in the back, while a youngerlooking man took the front seat. One of the women, with stylishly streaked, short blonde hair, said, "The Day's Inn, on Route 15, please," and I spun the cab around. "We're up visiting for our St. Mike's 10th reunion," said the other woman, who, like her friend, was very young-professional looking. "And, I'll tell you, this college life feels like a lifetime ago." "You got that right, Kristin," the first woman interjected. "Anyway, it isn't the same without the Blarney Stone. Remember our junior year? We, like, lived at that bar." As we ascended the Main Street hill, the guy sitting next to me blurted out, "Rumsey Lane." I glanced over and took him in for the first time. He appeared, as the Phish song puts it. "foggy, rather groggy." I turned to the girls in the back. "Isn't he with you?" "Not really," one replied. "Never saw him before in my life," said the other. "Well, then, d'ya mind if I drop him on the way?" Rumsey Lane is a tiny, unpaved street off Chase Street, right before the Winooski Bridge. It would only be a fiveminute detour on the way to the Day's Inn. "Sure," came the reply from

the back. "Go ahead — make some money." "Hey, man, ya know what?" my seatmate asked. "No, I don't know what," I replied. "Please tell me." "It's my friggin' 21st birthday, and I lost my friends downtown." "Well, that happens," I said. "Ya gotta keep an eye on them." Not exactly sparkling repartee. I could just as well have been reciting "The Marseillaise." This kid was hammered; we were having only the sketchiest semblance of a conversation.

very Night of the Living Dead. One of the unkempt members of the horde tapped on my window. I lowered it. "Dude, did you, like, bring Kevin home? Where'd ya find him? He was, like, totally toasted, and then he, like, disappeared." I said, "It's his birthday, right? Ya wanna pay his five-dollar cab fare? It could be your own special birthday gift to him." "No can do, bro," the friend replied. "How about an E-pill? Would you take a hit of ecstasy for the fare?" "This isn't happening,"' Kristin said, to no one in particular. I looked to my right to see Kevin lurching back to the cab. He opened the front door and handed me a hundred-dollar bill. "It's all I got, man. Can ya break it?" I counted out 95 bucks and handed them to him. That night, I had been swamped with singles, so I had to give him 35 ones with the change. He stood there listing like a skiff in choppy water, staring blankly at the wad of bills. "Lemme count it," he finally said. "So's I can give ya a tip." He then commenced counting — at glacial speed — the stack of singles. "Let's get out of here, please!" Kristin barked. "For the love of God, I'll cover his freaking tip!" Fully digging the suggestion, I threw the transmission into reverse and backed out of Slackertown, steering a course to the Day's Inn. "You know," Kristin said, with an audible sigh, as we drove through Winooski, "I think I'd rather keep my college years frozen in time." "Yeah," I said. "I know just what you mean. The pleasure of nostalgia is the warm, fuzzy glow that grows warmer and fuzzier with each passing year. Who wants reality intruding on the memories?" Kristin's friend, who had been quiet for the whole trip, sat forward in her seat. "This is what I think, Kristin: These reunions are just not all they're cracked up to be." (Z)

was very Night the Living

Dead.

In slow motion, he pivoted in his seat. "Well, hello ladies! Wanna, like, come back to my place?" "No, I don't think so," Kristin replied, with curtness designed to forestall any further entreaty. We made it to Chase Street and I took the right onto Rumsey, pulling to a stop between the two wood-frame houses on the street. "Dude," the young man said. "D'ya, like, take credit cards?" "No, I don't. The fare's five bucks. Can't ya just go in the house and get some cash from your friends?" "Oh, I got cash in the apartment, all right. I'll go get it." He then exited the cab, and walked, in serpentine fashion, like he was evading sniper fire, up to the front steps and into the house. "Jeez, girls — I'm sorry about this," I said, turning to face the rear seat. "Don't worry about it. It's almost funny, really," Kristin said. Then, out of nowhere, the taxi was suddenly surrounded by a bunch of young people. They must have emerged from one or both of the houses, but I sure didn't see them coming.

SECRET'S

CLUSE ENCOUNTERS: Starting in mid-December, Penny Cluse Cafe in Burlington will also have a dinner crowd — literally. Anyone who has passed the popular restaurant on the corner of Cherry Street and South Winooski Avenue will have noticed lines of customers winding out the door and on to the sidewalk at breakfast and lunch. "People have been asking for it since the first month we were opened," co-owner Holly Cluse says of the decision to serve dinner four nights a week, Tuesday through Friday. "Staffing was a huge concern, and some really talented people stepped forward. That is what pushed us to open," she says. The cafe snagged Chef Scott Myers from Shore Acres in North Hero. Manager Chris Conn came from Empire Restaurant in Providence, Rhode Island. Although the menu is still "in the works," entrees like arroz con polio will run between $10 and $15. And instead of waiting out in the street for a "casual dining" experi-

tic cooking from Vermont." That means you'll find everything from "Mushroom Tarte Tatin with Parmesan Anglaise and Truffle Oil" to New England boiled dinner. The latter recipe calls for two bottles of cheap beer. The design is clean and easy to read, but could use a more generous helping of visuals. The talents of Stowe photographer Peter Miller are wasted on cut-out shots at the start of each chapter. Maybe these two homemade cookbooks will light a fire under all the other Vermont chefs still thinking about dishing it out in print.

HAMMING IT UP: A bunch of middle-aged men posing halfnaked was not enough to get "The Today Show" to Maple Corner. It was the potluck that lured them 10 miles north of Montpelier to document one of the most creative fundraising efforts in the history of central Vermont: a "community" pin-up calendar featuring 13 local fellas in various stages of undress. Actually, the dirty bakers dozen are discreetly covered by tool belts, hockey equipment, laptops and other props that suggest their respective professions. Ranging in age from 39 to 78, they include a carpenter, wood carver, "farmer at large" and state curator. That's right, Statehouse specialist and amateur actor David Schutz is Mr. July, posing on stage in a Pirates of Penzance hat, his privates covered by a Union Jack and an American flag.

EATING IT UP: You can hear the wine glasses clinking all the way from Killington. Ted Fondulas of Hemingway's Restaurant is the recipient of a Robert Mondavi Winery Culinary Award for Excellence "honoring seven of the country's most creative chefs and their contributions to American cuisine." Last year's winners included Charlie Trotter of Charlie Trotter's in Chicago and Patrick O'Connell from the Inn at Little Washington. Unfortunately, the Mondavis cancelled the gala event that would have been held at Hemingway's because Robert Mondavi has stopped traveling. But along with the recognition, Fondulas gets a full-size portrait of himself — a Mondavi tradition. Although it's hard to imagine him sitting still, Fondulas will certainly keep the commissioned painter entertained. In August, h€ emceed the Vermont Epicurious Awards, peppering presentations with culinary comedy. "I want to know where everybody is eating tonight," he told the audience of Vermont chefs and restaurateurs, "because all the heavy artillery is within 25 feet of me." At one point, he made a joke about die-hard foodies doing lines of parmesan. Make that parmigiana reggiano.

cold wind off the lake pulls at Kenneth Alberts blue parka and coveralls. H e clamps his baseball hat over his thinning white hair and uses his foot to nudge a m o u n d of dirt over the base of one of his vines. It's not exactly Napa weather at Shelburne Vineyards. "If the temperature gets to 15 below," Albert worries, "these vines could die." He's been spending hours this fall using a tractor to insulate his crop. It's hard work, made more daunting by the fact that Albert doesn't expect his operation to be out of debt for another three to five years. Still, he's smiling. "Since I started this," he says, "it's consumed me." Albert is one of a small group of entrepreneurial oenophiles trying to do what was once considered impossible: produce topnotch grape wine in the unforgiving climate of Vermont. T h e first serious commercial effort to grow wine grapes started about four and a half years ago. Both Boyden Valley Winery in Cambridge and Snow Farm Vineyard & Winery in South Hero planted their first vines in 1997. Albert planted his in 1998. T h e vineyards have made significant progress in that time. They've turned out some awardwinning wines —: good enough that they don't need the "Made in Vermont" cachet to sell themselves. In fact, given that Vermont is not exactly synonymous with viticulture, these wines are selling despite being produced here.

W h y would anyone think it was a good idea to launch a vineyard in the Green Mountain State? At first blush it seems crazy — a nicer word than stupid. But the folks behind Vermont's vineyards knew they faced an uphill battle. And so far, they're winning. Harrison Lebowitz was working as a lawyer in the state's Attorney General's office back in 1992 when he first toyed with the idea of starting a vineyard. "I was just tired of prosecuting child-abuse cases," says Lebowitz, who has thick dark hair and a Kirk Douglas-style cleft chin. He and his wife Molly had moved to Georgia Center a couple of years before and were chagrined to see suburban sprawl creeping in, as it had in his native Maryland. At the same time, their neighbor, a dairy farmer, went bankrupt. "My wife and I were talking about the plight of Vermont family farms, and 'Isn't there some kind of new ag industry that somebody hasn't tried that could help keep land open and working?'" he recalls. "So foolishly I'm waving around this bottle of wine, ranting and raving, saying, ' W h y can't you put a vineyard in Vermont?'" Well, mostly because the weather won't let you. At least that was the commonly held horticultural view. Researchers at the University of Vermont had tried growing grapes in the 1960s, but found that very few vines of any variety survived the winter. As recently as 1984, a U V M professor wrote an article declaring that

Viticulture Shock continued from page 11a have been saying completely opposite things, and the one that can make our life more difficult has always won out," Lebowitz says. In the end, Snow Farm had to go through the Act 250 land-use regulation process, from which agricultural ventures are normally exempt. "We went through our Act 250 hearing the same day that Husky went through theirs," the vintner recalls. "Ours took seven hours, theirs took two hours. It's crazy." When Lebowitz finally won approval to open his winery, he did it in a big way, raising $600,000 through investors and loans. The money let him buy 20 acres — 11 of which he grows grapes on — and build a barn-like structure that houses the tasting room, winemaking room and office. "South Hero didn't call for a chateau," Lebowitz jokes. Although the winery and vineyard are located on a dusty dirt road, it's a magnet for tourists, most of whom seem to arrive on bicycles. Visit the tasting room on any summer day and you're likely to see several visitors lined up at the bar, dressed in Lycra and sweating lightly, sampling shots of Chardonnay.

avid Boyden also draws his share of tourists to his vineyard and winery, but he didn't have to go as far into debt to do it. Still lanky and boyish at 32, Boyden opened his business on the farm his family has owned in Cambridge since early last century. For a vineyard, he planted grapes on

six hillside acres his family had used to grow corn. For a winery, he renovated an old horse barn, maintaining all the rustic charm tourists crave, but eliminating those animal smells that turn them off. The main floor has two tasting areas and artfully arranged displays of wine. An

upstairs loft is home to an antique furniture store. The guts of the operation are below in the winemaking room, which is full of gleaming, Italian-made, stainless-steel storage tanks. Only the bulk milk tanks lining one wall suggest you're on a Vermont

farm. Like Lebowitz, Boyden has found these tanks perfect for fermentation. They offer precise temperature control at less than a quarter the cost of the European models that are industry standards. Boyden's decision to start a winery was really just an extension of a hobby, and of

a family tradition. "I was interested in wines, and my great-uncle used to make hard cider here, so we started to do that," he explains. It was a logical step to start making wine. The business has taken Boyden far from Cambridge. He's traveled with Linda, his wife and business partner, to France, Italy and Switzerland to learn more about the world of wine. But despite its new connections with sophisticated

receding toward Lake Champlain with the Adirondacks towering in the distance. It's as pretty as any California vineyard, but nowhere as productive. While Snow Farm and Boyden Valley produce roughly 30,000 and 40,000 bottles a year, respectively, Albert made only 1000 bottles of grape wine last year and another 2500 of blueberry. His Riesling Ice Wine is the real collector's item. He squeezed out only 47 bottles of the stuff.

like earthy Pinot Noirs. Like Albert in Shelburne, both vintners have had more success with whites. Boyden sells Cayuga and Seyval Blanc white wines, while Snow Farm offers ones made from Riesling, Chardonnay, Vidal Blanc and Seyval Blanc. All three vintners are working with Quebec vineyards to establish an international "wine trail." The idea is that, with some marketing, tourists will be drawn to visit the string of wineries on both sides of the border. But the future of Vermont's wine industry may lay further south. m Or at least that's what Ray Knutsen is banking on. For more than 20 years, the Rutland veterinarian has been planting experimental grape varieties on a hillside his parents own in Benson. "I consider my place more of a privately funded agricultural research station," says Knutsen, who began growing grapes as a hobby. His quest: to find the best grape to grow in the Champlain Valley. Only when he's found the right stuff will he open a vineyard. Knutsen points out that places like Germany, which have been growing grapes for hundreds of years, have zeroed in on the perfect variety for their climate and soil and grow it almost exclusively. "You don't see them try a whole lot of different varieties," he says. "They don't try to make water flow uphill. They know what works." Knutsen has a suspicion what will work here — a cold-hardy, red-wine grape called St. Croix. It was developed by a god-like figure in the wine world, a University of Wisconsin researcher named

wine culture, the Boyden place is still very much a Vermont farm. The house is just across the dirt driveway from the winery, a large cow barn is just behind it, and ag outbuildings are scattered everywhere. With fetching views of the Green Mountains to the east, Boyden makes the most of its setting, drawing on local business as well as visitors from nearby ski resorts.

f Vermont's three vineyards, Ken Albert's operation is the hardest to tour. Albert leases two parcels of land located several miles apart on Shelburne Farms and the former Bostwick farm. Visitors have to set up appointments, though the proprietor is happy to act as a grape guide. It's definitely worth the visit. While Snow Farm and Boyden Valley are scenic, Shelburne surpasses them both. It's well represented by the vineyard's label, which features rows of thickly growing vines

Unlike Vermont's other vineyards, which started making wine from imported grapes, and still do, Albert insisted on waiting until his own crop was ready. Before he went into the business, he'd grown wine grapes in his backyard for 25 years. As an IBM employee he benefitted from business trips to Quebec, where he was able to visit thriving vineyards. Albert retired from IBM in 1997. He planted his vineyard the next spring. So far, Albert has been focusing on white wines. He's bottled whites from his own Cayuga, Riesling and Vignoles grapes, and he's experimenting with several other varieties. To offer a red option, he buys Merlot grapes from Long Island. In Vermont, "I think it's tough to grow really good reds," Albert says. But that hasn't stopped him from planting some trial rows of Zweigelt, a red variety grown in Austria.

Elmer Swenson. Sharpe Hill Winery in northeastern Connecticut has developed a cult following by using Swenson's grapes to make a rich, full-bodied, Rhone-style wine, Knutsen says. He was at a winemakers' meeting in Pennsylvania recendy when Sharpe Hill's wine was served. The result was electrifying. "When you have 150 or 200 people at a winery conference and all they are talking about in the hallways is this wine, you are going to raise some eyebrows," Knutsen says almost breathlessly. "A grape like that can take the Champlain Valley and just transform it into a viticultural region." ®

s if things weren't bad enough already, brace your lettuce, tomatoes and toasty slices of bread for yet another piece of relentlessly ugly news: We as a nation suffer from a bacon shortage. Retail prices' have risen from an average of $2.32 a pound to more than $4 as hot slices of fat and meat splatter the fiscal roof. Commodities brokers and industry journalists blame the shortfall on the uncanny popularity of the stuff as married to cheeseburgers, or high-end chefs, who apparently sneak it into everything from fudge to ravioli. While we can all applaud the certainty that a bacon crisis has nothing to do with the nation of Islam, some analysts have pointed quavering fingers in one true direction: My house. Ask any of the cardiologists currently camped out on my lawn, envisioning the Bermuda golf trips to be enjoyed after outfitting myself and my two young children with pacemakers — we

eat a lot of it. While a full 70 percent of you eschew to chew it except at breakfast, we like it three times a day, six on weekends. What a happy addition to soups and stews; what a delightful mouth-holiday it provides to grilling cheese; what crunchyyummy-salty pleasure it gives to a humble pasta. And my, how we've grown. With a weakening economy, things look good for the stout — and stout of heart — at the dented-can food stores, which are currently stocked with threepound bags of bacon. No shortage there, where high-end chefs fear to tread. And no more separating the skinny fraternal strips: This is a free-for-all of glistening white and pink chewy nubs, a jolly grab-bag offering a cheerful surprise each time one dips in. "Bits and Ends" the packages boast about their rather anonymous pork backsides begging the pan. After all, bacon as we know it here in the Colonies is the plump fatty side of the swine. Canucks like the square middle of the back. Italians prefer it

rolled in herbs. And my Lithuanian ex-mother-in-law took with her to the grave the instructions for a dish I may one day resurrect: The major ingredients are bacon, mushrooms, shallots, broth, wine and butter. Is this not a poem? The phrase "bringing home the bacon" has its own poetic origins. Allegedly borne from a 12th-century English custom, great fortune was awarded to that uxorious fellow who could truthfully declaim in church that he had not argued with his wife for a year and a day. Such reticence earned the good man the favor of the congregation in the form of a side, or "gammon," of bacon. Truly, the English are to be admired for their contributions to bacon's long and illustrious history. Is it a coincidence that both their finest statesman and finest painter shared this noble surname? I think not. But the English don't stop with the meat. A nation that can put chips — a.k.a. French fries — between two pieces of buttered white bread and affection-

ately pronounce it a "butty" also indulge in that egregiously veinclogging treat, the "Dipper." A Dipper commences when a perfectly fine piece of ordinary, preferably stale, bread is rested in hot fat and then swirled out with a fork to be eaten swiftly over the pan. Oh, the seduction! As a nation of deniers, we Americans yearn secretly for bacon, having eliminated tobacco, whiskey, Valium and fresh creamery butter from the collective diet. This obsession with health inexorably leads to that slurred moment known as "hel! with," when the tofu gets, tossed, the cruciferous vegetables are damned and the bulghur is sim ply too vulgar to contemplate.

decidedly more American-excessive, a jingoistic bent of which I'm proud. And as our national tragedy has driven a rush to socalled comfort foods, we need to embrace the fact that few foods are more comforting than bacon. The key, evidently, to avoiding those unhappy "nitrates" is to slow-cook the strips, avoid burning them, thereby trapping whatever cancer-causing elements there are within. Thus prepared, bacon is — to salute Captain Beefheart — as safe as milk. Safe or not, I frankly don't: care. Bacon is a blood source, in the D H. Lawrence, lust-for-thegroundskeeper sense. Its grease hotly welcomes a quick chop of yellow onions and garlic, the fragrant perfume that seems to

embrace the fact that few oods are more comfortin than bacon. frying pan soon reigns. Blind desire pushes the broccoli aside and sweeps clear the whole grains. The air becomes redolent with the high, sweet smell of frying fat, a mayonnaise jar is horribly opened, a vitamin-poor head of iceberg lettuce is cleaved and a grudging tomato is added less for its nutritional value than for the juicy sop it adds to the meat. This Private Moment of the BLT causes much unnecessary sadness for poor North American souls. Do we see the French doing this? Mais non, we do not. The French consume an average of 2.5 bottles of wine per day, per person. They flavor coq au vin with the coqs blood. Parisian public swimming pools feature Gitanes burning with patient dampness at the end of their lanes. But their bacon intake? Sane, measured, comme gi-comrne ga, un petitepeu — a little bit, why not? They allow and even celebrate their vices, consuming them in those measured amounts that promote long life and happiness. It's time to stop the madness and be more like me — an overthe-top, pretend French person without a taste for chicken blood. Yes, my porcine passion is a bit de trop for the French,

Autumn salads scream silently tor crumbled Gorgonzola, toasted walnuts, fresh pear, dried cranberries and the salubrious crunch of our topical friend. Green beans can be cooked and served without bacon, but the existential question remains: Why would you? That road leads to cream of mushroom soup and canned shoestring onions. Perhaps bacons greatest allure is the vulnerability of the cooked stuff, be it proper rashers or the merry jumble from the dentedcan store. Draining on a paper towel, unprotected and weary due to the metamorphosis from the cold and oily to the warm and crunchy, bacon trusts that it will find its way to a correct end animating soups, salads, sandwiches and stews. How is such faith rewarded? By being pinched up savagely and eaten whole, on the spot, over the kitchen sink. But as my inner French woman would murmur, delicately wiping spots of grease from her chin, "C'est la vie." (7)

two- or three-pound preemies, my six-pound daughter looked like a giant. The flesh-and-blood cord that had first sustained and then nearly suffocated her had been replaced by a network of wires, electrodes and tubes. Unsteadily perched on a high wooden stool, and terrified that I might dislodge some vital connection, I gingerly scooped her out of her plastic nest and held her to my breast. In the strange twilight of the NICU, I watched a sweet young nurse move from station to station, checking the blinking monitors, adjusting the purring machines, recording data on the hanging charts, and acknowledging each tiny patient with a soft stroke and a kind word. When she took my baby from me and settled her back in her bassinet, she cooed, "There you go, Pumpkin." Pumpkin, I thought, in my uncertainty. It was a term of endearment I hadn't heard before. Someday, I reassured myself, you'll feel so at ease with this baby that you'll call her silly names like that.

f sharing food is an act of love, then my daughter's introductory meal was like the wedding night in an arranged marriage. She didn't know how to eat, I didn't know how to feed her, and we had barely ever laid eyes on one another. We'd gone through the motions, but very little food had actually been consumed and mutual affection seemed an abstract notion. Despite our awkwardness, it didn't take long for us to become a comfortable mother-daughter team. I soon became so attached to the ritual of nursing that I was loath to let anything or anyone stand in its way. Certainly not my mother,

whose own doctor had advised her, 30 years earlier, not to bother trying to breastfeed any of her four babies. She flew from New Jersey to my home in California a few months after my daughter was born. We were shopping for kitchen chairs on Santa Monica Boulevard when the baby — and my body — announced that it was lunchtime. Far from the car, and with no bench in sight, I sat down on the most comfortable thing I could find — the four-inch curb separating a Shell station's gravel garden from the sidewalk. I considered myself fairly adept at discreet nursing. But one look at my mothers face made me take the extra step of draping a receiving blanket over the baby's head. My mother still wasn't satisfied. Folding her arms across her chest and assuming a ferocious expression, she planted herself directly between me and the road — guarding me, I suppose, from the lascivious leers of all the depraved drivers who would surely have been aroused by the sight of a nursing mother as they sped past on the six-lane thoroughfare. I made fun of my mother's prudishness, and laughed at what struck me as the narrow-mindedness of confusing the female breast — nature's larder — with a mere sex object. But in truth, when it came to nursing, the distinction between the comestible and the carnal was fairly muddled in my own mind as well. When my daughter was about six weeks old, I returned to my job as librarian at a girls' Catholic high school. My husband stayed home, taking care of the baby and writing his dissertation. I wanted to continue breastfeeding, but being separat-

ed from her seven hours a day meant missing one or two of her meal times. To keep my body from cutting back its milk production, I had to take matters into my own hands — literally. So I established a secret ritual. Every day at lunchtime, I would slip into a room off a landing in one of the school's stairwells. Years ago, when nunneries were still in their heyday, this room had served as an auxiliary dormitory. Aside from the nuns, few people were even aware that this room existed. Even fewer knew that I was in there — much less what I was With the ghosts of long-gone nuns hovering over me and the laughing voices of oblivious students on the other side of the closed door, I laid out my implements: a cup of water to drink; a roll of plastic bottle liners to hold the milk; a battery-powered breast pump that hummed in my hand; and half a dozen snapshots of my baby — smiling, nursing, sleeping, crying — to help get my body in the mood. It was the lactic equivalent of sperm donation. Within a- month, I'd learned to fantasize efficiently, using the photos to help trigger the let-down reflex and expressing four to six ounces of milk in under 10 minutes. It was plenty of time to hide my output in the faculty room refrigerator and eat my own lunch before I had to be back in the For as long as I continued to pump milk in that abandoned dormitory, the procedure's subtle suggestiveness was something I never got over. Or wanted to. Expressing

long before he spoke English, asked to be nursed by tipping his head to the side and raising one shoulder — a stylized reference to the position he assumed at the breast. I could also tell how much they liked it by observing the habits my children later developed for comforting themselves. My daughter, whose flailing hand I used to tuck inside my sleeve to keep it out of the way when I nursed, learned to quiet herself in the car by slipping her hands between her car seat and its cloth cover — which she called its "sleeves." Long after he was weaned, my son, who liked to twist my hair through his fingers while he nursed, slept with his fingers laced through the holes in a ragged knit shawl. I don't remember weaning my daughter. The official end of her babyhood got lost in the onset of my second pregnancy. But with my son — whom I knew would be my last baby — it was hard to give up the many satisfactions of breastfeeding. Making food and making love can last a lifetime, and there are a variety of appealing approaches to combining eating and affection. But the connection between these two basic impulses is never more unseverable than when you use your own body to feed someone you care for. And the experience feels all the more precious because it's so transitory. Now that the kids have grown teeth and acquired tastes and attitudes of their own, I have to settle for calling them to the table, reminding them to sit up straight and passing the potatoes. ®

ft coffeehouse queen rates the local roasl BY CATHY RESMER

t was no surprise to anyone

when the sign appeared last year: "Starbucks, coming soon!" Not unlike the imperialists of old, Starbucks has an uncanny habit of arriving on the scene when the local coffeehouse culture reaches critical mass — when their corporate office is sure, presumably, that there's money to be made. Exploitation or shrewd marketing? You decide. But this is not an article about Starbucks. There are already too many articles about Starbucks. And, quite honestly, the one on Church Street doesn't deserve an article. It's a dumpy, forgettable little rest stop on the chain-store-highway section of Church Street. You'd think they would have enough respect for the local cutthroat coffeehouse culture to invest more effort into their Vermont venture, but no. Compared to the other urban Starbucks in the world, ours is a bland disappointment (see ratings guide). Luckily, Burlington is already full of coffeehouses worth visiting, and revisiting. And I don't just mean venues that serve coffee. Coffeehouses are places that invite us to linger, to savor not only the joe or the snacks, but also the atmosphere. Places that might serve breakfast or lunch items, but are not really restaurants. And they might serve alcohol, but coffee, tea, espresso, cider come first. You can tell a lot about a community by visiting its coffeehouses. And yet there's a certain familiarity to caffeine culture that is not unlike the fast-food experience: Once you learn the language, you can order a double mocha in 30 different venues and expect to receive roughly the same thing each time.

I'm a regular. I discovered coffeehouses during my alienated suburban teen-age years and have loved them ever since. It's not so much that I love coffee — I do, but I could buy it at the gas station. I 2love page 0 a coffeehouses v SEVEN because DAYS -

they've always been places to go when I want to read, write, have a conversation or be entertained. They're social spaces that don't revolve around watching some-

thing on a screen. In a coffeehouse, it's not uncommon to see people sitting by themselves, writing, reading, studying, working crossword puzzles. In most other

places, this behavior somehow seems weird, even unwelcome. My first coffeehouse hang-out was Rabbles, a small, dark cave in St. Clair Shores, Michigan, just a few short miles from my East Detroit home. The coffeehouse itself was half of a neglected, nondescript little building; the other side was an insurance office,, I think, or maybe a chiropractic clinic. Inside, Rabbles was teeming with black-clad teen-agers, middle-aged men with long hair scribbling in notebooks, women who didn't wear makeup. A new . civilizing force had arrived in my sterile, sprawled-out world, which had otherwise only yielded churches, fast-food restaurants and malls as its meeting places. Rabbles radiated both style and substance — not cozy or plush, but reflective, yearning and, above all, interesting. Like many small coffeehouses, Rabbles was not long for this world; eventually the "rabble" dispersed and moved on. But it's worth remembering. The black-

ened walls absorbed the angst and intense desire for authenticity felt by its patrons, and somehow enveloped them with a sense of belonging. This is the thing about a great coffeehouse: It has atmosphere. Not necessarily an anarchist punk atmosphere — though that certainly lends an air of indignant righteousness to the coffee-drinking experience. My favorite coffeehouses — including the late Java Blues in Burlington — have all had a distinctive atmosphere, like a good poem that makes the specific universal. On the occasion of the new Starbucks opening on Church Street, I re-visited several coffeehouses in the Burlington area. I brought with me my partner, Ann-Elise, and six teens — all coffeehouse aficionados — to take the pulse of local coffeehouse culture at this crucial moment. Below are our highly subjective findings. Thanks to Jim Vogt, Alexis Pacelli, Winnie Kessler, Alex Grant, Dovie Maier and Pam Hersh. ®

Barnes & Noble Cafe (by Starbucks) South Burlington Price: © © Quality of coffee: Snacks: Pastries, desserts — sign says baked fresh daily, but it's all shipped frozen from Brooklyn, according to staff. Special features: Elegant product displays that remind you to spend more money, mural co-opting images of dead writers who didn't get paid for their "endorsement." Atmosphere: Where am I? Boston? Omaha? Tallahassee? You'd never know for sure. Assembly-line-style cafe is 3s depressing as it is terminally messy. Too much traffic, not enough space. Alex's only comment is a shudder. On the plus side: Staff are friendly and cynical about the chain.

Borders Books & Music Cafe Burlington Prices: © © © Quality of coffee: v Snacks: Local and tasty baked goods — except for cookies, which are neither — but expensive. Special features: A comfy couch upstairs, frequent local music. Atmosphere: Surprisingly non-commercial until you see the table signs that say, "Great Gift Ideas!" You can read any book in the store, but it's still Borders, so no 'zines allowed unless they're distributed through Ingram. Winnie says, "very slow service," but if you must drink coffee at a chain bookstore, pick this one.

1820 Essex Junction Price: © Quality of coffee: Snacks: Pastries, breakfast and lunch menu. Special features: Fireplace, cozy chairs, elegant light fixtures above tables. Atmosphere: Great location in renovated farmhouse. Fireplace warms it up in winter. Essex Outlet Fair is not exactly the most picturesque location, and service is a little slow, but it's worth the drive to relax and read the Sunday paper while the kids play games and draw pictures.

Mirabelles Burlington Price: © © Quality of coffee: i C & W T ^ H Snacks: Full breakfast and lunch menu, excellent pastries and desserts. Special features: Desserts — Pam loves the chocolate Concord cake — and selfserve coffee station. Atmosphere: Upscale but friendly, sunny and warm even on a cold day. Mirabelles recently expanded, but retains the small cafe feel. Fresh flowers on dark wooden, uniform tables, cheerful lighting. k The business-type clientele undoubtedly approves.

Muddy Waters Burlington Prices: © © Quality of Coffee: Snacks: Desserts, vegan treats, great zucchini bread. Special features: Juice bar, smoothies, beer and wine, best bulletin board in town. Atmosphere: Efficient enough to be healthy, funky enough to be happy. Relax in comfortable chairs at quirky tables, read newspapers, choose a book from the eclectic selection, contemplate provocative local art. Don't bonk your head on the wooden beams. Though the nighttime line is always too long, staff are friendly, spirited and efficient.

Radio Bean Burlington Prices: © © Quality of coffee: Snacks: Vegan treats, wine and beer, lots of organics, though Jim says food is "too dry and crumbly and ugly." Special features: Finely crafted furniture, open mike, performances and other events; classy copper and candle tea presentation. Atmosphere: Expect "bongos, sketch pads and composition notebooks," says Alexis. Space is small — nowhere to hide! — but considerate and speedy staff have a lot of love for their hipster domain. The brick and peeling-plaster wall motif correctly suggests that the Bean is conscious of decor without being pretentious. Overall, a real treat,

Atmosphere: True to its motto, Scrumptious is "A Nice Little Place to Have Breakfast or Lunch," but be forewarned: There's no espresso. Good place to nurse a cup of tea, though — hanging out is encouraged. It has a neighborhood cafe feel; most of the customers walk or bike over. A little retro, a little quaint, a little pricey, but very scrumptious.

Speeder and Earl's Burlington Price: © © Quality of coffee: Snacks: A few breakfast-y snacks from local bakeries. Special Features: Coffee-making accessories at Pine Street Roastery, creative signature coffee blends roasted on-site, i.e. "Speeder's Blend — our version of rocket fuel." Atmosphere: Church Street Espresso Bar is closet-sized but outdoor cafe is ideal in summer. Pine Street Roastery is somewhat kitschy and schizophrenic — the renovated warehouse has a lot of empty space fiJfed by vending machines, metal shelves, a toy car and noise from the coffee roaster. It's best to speed on out with your custom-made coffee.

Starbucks Burlington Price: © © . . , Quality: Snacks: Cookies, biscotti and various trucked-in dodads. Ann-Elise says biscotti has a "very strong refined-sugar flavor." Special features: Big window overlooking escalators, plenty of Starbucks merch, slicko pamphlets that explain company policies and career opportunities. Atmosphere: Soulless and mass-produced. Pre-packaged "funky" chairs and tables are clean but sterile. Bulletin board touts Starbucks local community involvement.

ver notice how mashed potatoes never come out like your mother makes them? Recently, on a cold and rainy day, I tried to improvise. My boyfriend and I were hungry and in a rush, so I microwaved three potatoes, mashed them with a fork, and tjirew in some butter and milk — all we had was lowfat. The result was a grayish, runny mass that my dinner companion politely pushed to the side of his plate. Things will be different now that I've discovered One Potato Two Potato. Perfect mashed? Try 27 varieties. With their new cookbook, Williston chef-author Molly Stevens and New York editor Roy Finamore raise the common spud from the humble to the sublime. . One Potato Two Potato includes page 2 2 a

SEVEN DAYS

classic recipes for traditional potato dishes, such as French fries, potato salad and sweet potato pie, as well as tater treats from around the world — gno'cchi, latkes, samosas, knishes, piero'gi, kugel, Vichyssoise and more. The hefty, photo-filled book also offers instructions for purchasing and preparing potatoes. Did you know, for example, that you should "massage" a potato after baking it? "This breaks up the large chunks and makes it fluffier when you cut into it," Stevens explains. Stevens, 41, is a graduate of Middlebury College and the New England Culinary School, and she's warm, funny and full of kitchen stories. Last week, I met her for some serious tuber talk.

grow up eating them in some form. Potatoes are inexpensive, and they're the ultimate comfort food — whether mashed, baked, fried, scalloped or roasted. We eat them at holidays, we eat them on special occasions, and we eat them all during the week. They're

easy to cook and hard to screw up. I can't imagine anyone hating potatoes... SD: What's your favorite potato dish in the book? MS: It changes daily, even hourly. For instance, right now with a good cup of morning cof-

fee, I'd love a piece of that Moravian sugar cake [yes, there are mashed potatoes in the dough]. Later for lunch, I love a salad of spicy greens with roasted potatoes, string beans and heirloom potatoes — it's really great with a soft-poached egg over the top. Then, when we get to dinner, it's even harder to choose. Right now, I'm on a real pasta kick, so I've been making the sweet-potato ravioli with chive butter. I also love the leek and potato tart, and, and, and...

with it until it came out right. For instance, the alpen macaroni came from a friend who said his brother used to make this late at night... It's perfect nursery food — comforting, creamy and filling. It took a few tries to get it right, but eventually we came up with something we both love. SD: How many pounds of potatoes did you go through while writing the book? MS: Oh, somewhere around 1500 pounds between the two of us. I swear the check-out folks at the supermarket were definitely beginning to wonder about me.

SD: How did you invent the recipes for One Potato Two Potato? MS: Sometimes it's as simple as a stroll through the market when you see something that sparks an inspiration. Other times, it's a more intellectual process. In developing a recipe, it's unavoidable to put your personal stamp on it once you really get into it.

SD: Did you ever get bored with spuds? MS: Not a bit. You know, I actually expected to — or rather, I was afraid that I might. Actually, the inverse happened. If it's even possible, I love potatoes now more than I ever did. Potatoes

And finally, sometimes someone would tell us about something, or we might taste something in a restaurant and ask the chef. More often than not, they would simply tell us how they did it, inevitably leaving out a few key details. Then we'd go back to our kitchens and fiddle

only get boring if you cook them the same way all the time. Plus, having Roy to work with kept things fresh. More than a few times during the project, I went to New York and we would just hole up in his apartment and cook like crazy. Those were the best times. Then in the evening,

Serves 10-12 3 d C( 8 T. (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into one-half-inch pieces 8 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature 1/2 cup sour cream, at room temperature 2/3 cup m F T

Paprika Put the potatoes in a large saucepan, cover with cold water by at least an inch, at of salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium, cover part-way and cook until the potatoes are very tender. Drain and return them to the pot. Set over medium heat for a minute or two, shaking and stirring so the potatoes don't stick, until they are floury and have made a film on the bottom of the pot. Remove the potatoes from the heat and break them up with a handheld electric mixer on low speed. Gradually drop in 6 tablespoons of the butter and beat until it is absorbed. Refrigerate the remaining butter. Continue with the cream cheese and sour cream, beating well after each addition. Beat in the milk, adding a little at a time. You want the potatoes to be fluffy and light; if they seem to be getring too wet, don't add all the milk. Season with salt and pepper. Butter a 9-by- 13-inch baking dish and spoon the potatoes into it. Smooth the top and then, with a spatula or fork tines, swirl or score the surface of the potatoes to leave little peaks that will brown up nicely during baking. (Can refrigerate, covered tightly with plastic wrap, for up to two days before baking.) Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Dust the top of the potatoes with paprika. Cut the remaining 2 tablespoons butter into small pieces and scatter them over the surface. Bake about an hour, until the potatoes arc heated through and the top is lightly golden. (Expect it to take only half the time if the potatoes haven't been refrigerated.) Serve hot.

Caramel Sweet Potato Pie Makes one 9- or 9 1/2-inch pie FOR THE PASTRY Pinch of coarse salt 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour . 4 T. (half-stick) cold unsalted butter 174 cup vegetable shortening, chilled Stir the salt into the flour in a large bowl. Drop the butter into die flour, toss and then cut it into bits. Use your fingers to start working the butter into the flour. Drop the shortening into the flour, toss it and cut rhat into bits. Continue working the fat into the flour until the mixture resembles very coarse oatmeal; you still want visible chunks of fat. Add 2 tablespoons ice water and toss in with a fork. Continue adding ice water by the tablespoon until the pastry starts to come together; you will need at least 2 more tablespoons. Flour your hands and form the pastry into a Hat disk, wrap in plastic and chill for 30

FOR THE FILLING 3 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 cup sugar 1 cup heavy cream, heated to a boil 2 sweet potatoes (about 1 1/4 pounds), baked 3 beaten 1 t . Vc

Pinch of coarse salt Whipped cream for serving (optional) Roast the potatoes in a 450-degree oven about an hour; remember ro prick them with a fork first Melt the butter in a deep, heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the sugar and cook, stirring often, until liquefied and a deep caramel color. Be careful not to burn it or let it turn too dark, or it will be bitter. Immediately put the pan in the sink and pour in the heated cream. It will boil up and splatter and look volcanic; be careful not to burn yourself. Return to medium heat and cook, stirring, until die caramel is very smooth. Let cool. Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and heat the oven to 425 d. Peel the roasted potatoes and drop them into a bowl. Mash them roughly with a fork. Stir in the eggs and vanilla, then the caramel and •salt. Flour your work surface lightly and roll out the chilled pastry to a 13-inch circle. Fit it into pie pan and trim the excess to 1 inch. Fold the edge and make a high lluted rim. Pour in the filling. Bake for 15 minutes at 425 degrees. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes, until the edges of the filling have puffed and the center is still slightly jiggly. Cool on a rack for at least an hour before serving. If you like, add a big dollop of whipped cream to each slice —- use plain whipped cream ro let the flavors of the potato and caramel shine throug

MS: I send most anything baked, like breads and cakes, to my husband s office. Friends who stop by almost always take home leftovers. I've been known to offer packages of food to the UPS guy.

SAV0IR FAIRE

SD: Why should you never microwave a potato or wrap it in foil for baking.? MS: Well, it's not that you shouldn't do it, it's just that when you microwave a potato, you're not baking it anymore — technically you're steaming it. Although we do have a tip for making mashed potatoes in the microwave that works pretty well in a pinch for one or two servings. As for wrapping potatoes in foil while they bake, same thing — you end up trapping the moisture and you're technically steaming rather than baking. The skin will never come out as crisp and dry as it should, and, likewise, the flesh inside won't be as fluffy or light.

SD: Where can you get the best fries in Vermont? MS: We all know that Al's on Williston Road is still the place. Also Nectar's, if you want them with gravy at one o'clock in the morning. SD: So what is the secret to perfect mashed potatoes? MS: There are several secrets, really. First, use russets — my first choice in most cases. Then, be sure to soak the potatoes in cold salted water and don't let them boil too vigorously; they will bash around too much and become water-logged. After they're cooked, dry the potatoes briefly after draining by putting them back over the heat and shaking the pan. This helps keep them from being watery. When it comes to mashing, a ricer makes the silkiest mashed potatoes, but a regular old handmasher works great, too.

When you add ingredients — butter, cream, milk, whatever — make sure they're either at room temperature, in the case of the butter, and slightly warmed for the liquid. Otherwise, your potatoes cool down too much. Butter goes in first and then the liquid, adding it a bit at a time and beating as hard as you can between additions. This last step is really what makes potatoes beautifully fluffy and light. ® Meet Molly Stevens and Roy Finamore to sample creations from One Potato Two Potato at a special prix fixe, multi-course meal at Smokejacks in Burlington, December 11, 6:30p.m., $65per person.

Godmother Catherine Donnelly i: UVM's big cheese — .

he mouth-watering bite of aged cheddar. The curiously delightful musky snap of Roquefort. The tanginess of sharp Pecorino-Romano. If in a couple of years you're still able to experience the fine, raw-milk, aged versions of these cheeses, you may have Catherine Donnelly to thank. The University of Vermont microbiologist is being hailed in food circles as the savior of these and other rawmilk cheeses. Donnelly was the "star witness" in their defense against possible banning for safety reasons by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, according to The Wine Spectator magazine. Similarly, Food & Wine magazine declared that Donnelly had won "a victory for cheese choice." But Donnelly is having none of this cheese-savior talk, and she's not sure the FDA has yet been converted to her point of view. It could still banish Parmigiano-Reggiano, Swiss Gruyere and Emmentaler, as well as Roquefort, Pecorino-Romano and cheddar from the United

States. Donnelly is a devout cheeses freak, but she said that what she's been defending has been more good science than good cheese. "I think that good science drives good regulatory policy, and so I've always tried to maintain my objectivity as a scientist," says Donnelly, a slight woman with pale blue eyes and a quick smile. "Data doesn't lie, and so if you look carefully at the data and what it's telling you, you can draw pretty valid conclusions." Despite reams of scientific studies to the contrary, Donnelly has found that aged hard cheeses made from unpasteurized milk are safe. Her work has been persuasive. She delivered a talk on the subject last spring during a cheese conference in Italy. In the audience was a British scientist who'd written a paper questioning the safety of aged raw-milk cheeses. "He came up to her afterwards to say, 'We are rewriting the article,'" says Richard Koby, a lawyer representing the Cheese of Choice Coalition, an industry trade group that has hired Donnelly as a consultant. "That's

how convincing it is to other scientists."

onnelly's strong reputation among food safety scientists is based on her work in the mid-1980s on listeria — a dangerous pathogen found in both people and animals. T h e scientific community knew little about the organism at the time, but believed it could be killed by pasteurization. Then a foodborne disease outbreak in Massachusetts was linked to pasteurized milk. T h e FDA and the Centers for Disease Control made the logical connection. "They were saying, 'Ah-ha, it must be there because it's surviving pasteurization.' Everyone was sort of up in arms," Donnelly recalls. "I approached that problem by saying, 'Listeria is very common; we haven't seen it in pasteurized products before; what happened here?"' Donnelly found that studies showing that listeria could survive pasteurization were flawed. T h e outbreak in Massachusetts was caused by /wrt-pasteurization

ne of the benefits of a large city is that plenty of people share a c o m m o n interest, allowing for retail specialization: stores selling only Indian spices, Kosher meats or medieval clothes, for instance; entertainment venues dedicated to lounge music, male strippers or modern dance. In Montreal, it seems there's someone willing to cater to any taste, and the latest trend is specialty bars. T h e original, Jello Bar (151 Ontario Est), arrived with the rediscovery of the martini some years ago. Fitted with retro furniture right out o f ' 5 0 s suburbia and lit by dozens of lava lamps, Jello Bar offers scores of flavored martinis in addition to the classic dry with an olive. Other drinks are available, too, Jello is a popular — read: crowded — spot for live music, which could be anything from techno to world beat, so expect a cover charge. Just down the street, L'lle Noir (342 Ontario Est) was the first bar we found that showcased single-malt scotches and singlebarrel whiskeys. T h e scotch menu runs for several pages. They also offer several imported and micro brews in bottles and on tap, and the bartenders know how to draw the perfect head on a Guinness. L'lle attracts a quieter crowd than does Jello, and

the giant air filters make the atmosphere more bearable than most bars in free-to-smoke Montreal. A truly beautiful wine bar and restaurant opened in Old Montreal this past year. Modavie (1 St-Paul Ouest) is gorgeous, on

Dominic Perna was tending bar when we visited recently. Between suggesting a rich and leathery Sicilian Shiraz and a velvety Tuscan red, he talked with us about his semi-pro hockey career, and shared his pride in UVM-Quebec hockey favorites

Whisky Cafe even offers three Grand Marniers — who knew there was more than one? a corner with plenty of windows, ancient stone walls, polished wood and brass. It's just the place for a special romantic dinner or an end-of-evening glass of wine or port. There's a nice selection of wines by the glass or the bottle, ports by the glass and even champagne drinks like kir and mimosa. Visiting Jean-Talon market or having dinner in Little Italy? Take a break at EnOteca International (7112 St-Laurent). This lovely, small wine bar belongs to the Perna family — the parents are from Italy and the children were born in Montreal.

Eric Perrin and Martin St. Lou T h e Pernas are considering adding a kitchen, in order to provide a small selection of food to accompany the vino. Sofa (451 Rachel Est) calls itself a port wine bar, but we discovered a bouncer, cover charge and line at the door. There's definitely an extensive menu of port wines, but Sofa is actually a music club, with a lot of cruising going on. Drawing a very "plateau" crowd — trendy, white and thirtyish —- from the surrounding neighborhood,- Sofa offers live jazz, soul and jam sessions. It seemed there was more

beer than port on the tiny tables, but maybe the smoke was in my eyes. A far better place for port — in fact one of the nicest places in town — is Whisky Cafe, (5800 St-Laurent, corner of Bernard). This is an upscale establishment, with chic decor, subdued lighting and background music. There's even a separate cigar lounge, full of dark red leather and mahogany with cushy banquette seating. Whisky Cafe is unique in offering "flights" for tasting. For example, there are six different flights of whiskey, each offering tastes of three different singlerftalts. You might try three different distilleries from the same region, three different regions or three different products from the same distiller. Ditto for ports — you can try three different ports, or a flight of three different ages from the same vintner. Whisky Cafe even offers three Grand Marniers — who knew there was more than one? Also somewhat unique is the menu of "Petite Fringale" — what we might call "munchies." But don't expect fries and onion rings. Whisky Cafe serves up food-drink matches, such as Sauterne with fois gras, scotch with smoked trout, port and two cheeses or Marsala wine with Italian nougat candy. The biggest splurge? Moet et Chandon champagne with fois gras, at $150 for two. Belgian chocolates, smoked salmon and many fine cheeses are also available a la carte. The beer list here is extensive, too, with a good mix of styles and countries of origin. It's all beer, all the time, however, at Biere et Compagnie (4350 St-Denis and 3547 St-Laurent) — including in the food. Here you'll find an outstanding selection of beers in bottles and en fut (on tap) from Quebec, Germany, England, Scotland and Ireland, including some rare Belgian Trappist ales and cherry-infused beers known as krieks. B&C also has an interesting, inexpensive food menu that includes soups, sandwiches, burgers — ostrich, caribou and buffalo as well as beef, with beer-based sauces. Their specialty: steamed mussels, with more than 20 choices of sauces. French frites (fries) are served Belgian-style with a choice of flavored mayonnaises. Biere et Compagnie is clean, casual and pleasantly low-key. Way up the scale is Bubbles (3553 St-Laurent), specializing in champagne and fresh oysters. Located in the very chic lower section of St-Laurent, Bubbles is full of blond wood and sleek stainless steel, with well-dressed patrons. In addition to the bubbly, they serve Cognac, Armagnac, scotch and port wines. The canapes menu includes oysters, cheeses, smoked salmon and sashimi and — the most indulgent item — a dozen chocolatedipped strawberries. This is the place to sit at a low table in a mustard-yellow club chair, hold your glass up to the halogen lights, gaze at the bubbles and practice looking bored. ©

ALMARTIN VOLVO 85 Executive Drive, Shelburne, VT 1 -800-639-5088 802-985-1030

of a Vermont Pulitzer Prize winner. David enjoyed the spotlight of fleeting fame like a savvy tourist. As someone who realized he was only going to pass through the Promised Land once, he took notes and collected souvenirs and happily shared them with his sisters and brothers in the journalism trenches of the Green Mountains. "You have to have the right story," conceded Moats the Modest. Civil unions was certainly a "cutting-edge" story, and the awards panel, he suggested, likes that kind of stuff. "Its got to be a story that grips people," suggested Moats. "Something that will catch attention." And marriage rights for same-sex couples certainly did. Mr. Moats was quite thorough in his VPA remarks. He even brought props. The bearded playwright dutifully showed everyone in the room the small, diplomalike certificate he received. "It's very nice," he said politely. And he held up the small, fistsized glass "memento" the Pulitzer board had given him to mark the occasion. It came in a small Tiffany box, and David s name was carved into its face. "Kind of cool," said Moats, adding, "they also give you $7500." And he joked that he also had the grea-t pleasure of being interviewed 'tiy legendary Vermont reporter Susan Smallheer, who * covered his big day for the Rutland Herald. * "She said," recalled the Moatster, "so, what are you going to do with the money?" He told her he'd be "buying a piano and a new bed with a firm mattress." "Susan," he said, "looked up at me as if to say, do you really want to say that?" Well, he had said it and he wasn't going to try to take it back. It was, after all, the god's honest truth; And besides, Moats offered, he didn't think Ms. Smallheer would let him take it back. The stuff about the piano and the bed was in Susan's story the next day. David promptly received a call from a furniture store. And all assembled were happy to learn that Vermont's reigning Pulitzer Prize winner is sleeping better these days. "I'd like to report that I have bought a nice new bed with a firm mattress," he said. "It has changed my life for the better. I haven't got the piano yet, but I'm still looking." As for the reaction to his Pulitzer, Moats told the Capitol Plaza press crowd* "It's just apparent that after everything we went though last year, this touched a lot of people as a kind of vindication of it all." Hear, hear! Herald publisher R. John Mitchell had been asked if having such a courageous stand on civil unions took something extra. His

P I

response was, "We're just doing £ our job." "That sounds insufferably modest," said Moats, "but I have the same sense that when newspapers are just doing their job they can do incredible stuff, whether they win a prize or not." Speaking of prizes, it seemed like a ton were handed out. Every journalist is, after all, an awardwinning journalist. And a few of this year's awards were very interesting. For example, good thing Moats has his Pulitzer, because he did not win the VPA award for best editorial. That went to Jim FOX, the editor of the Valley News, • who did not attend. The prizewinner was Jim's July 7, 2000, edit "Civil Unions At Last." The civil-unions law had just gone into effect. Fox wrote that the "most remarkable thing" about the first civil unions performed the previous weekend, "was just how unremarkable they seemed to be." Over time, he opined, the media circus would die down and, hopefully, the "more thoughtful" among the critics would realize "the world is not ending, merely changing." Mr. Fox, by the way, broke into the newspaper business many moons ago with the weekly Journal Opinion in Bradford, Vermont, and worked for the dailies in Bangor, Maine, and Worchester, Massachusetts, before landing back in the beautiful Upper Valley a dozen years ago. And, he told Seven Days, he's never met David Moats! mHey, boys, lets do lunch, eh? \ Another little surprise was the first-place award given to Nancy Remsen and Adam Lisberg of the Burlington Free Press for their overall coverage of civil unions. Bravo! How ironic that the Vermont daily newspaper that shamefully ignored civil unions on its editorial page won a prize for its civilunions news coverage. Take that, Publisher Jim Carey, and chew on it! You blew it. And congratulations to Cadence Mertz at the Freeps. Cadence won "rookie of the year" honors. The pressure's on now, eh, Cadence? Also, in the new feature-writing category Paula Routly — that name is awfully familiar — was the first-prize winner for her piece, "Meat Your Maker: Vermont livestock farmers deliver fresh flesh to New York."

Last Call — The glass es were raised at Finnigan's Pub the other day to the memory of Tibby Wright. He'd just turned 57 a couple weeks ago. Tibby passed away suddenly on Friday. His obit made Saturday's Freeps. It left out what a kind, decent and funny gentleman he was. He'll be missed. We're not here for a long time, we're here for a good time, right, Tibby? ©

ALL REVVED UP Feared for the fate of rock 'n' roll lately? Not to worry: A trio of young twerstysomethings from San Francisco called Black Rebel Motorcycle Club have taken to that proud but tattered mantle like, well, bikers to leather. With a name inspired by Marlon Brando's gang in The Wild Ones, B.R.M.C. churn out a shadow child of kick-ass rawk — dark, brooding, mysterious and unforgettable. Don't forget their show this Thursday at Higher Ground, with Sheila Divine and The Vue.

PLAY ROOM We recently got The Waiting Room; now we have The Space. I don't know what it is with these enigmatic names, but new music venues are always welcome no matter what they're called. The latest is in the, well, space over Battery Street Jeans in Burlington. Long a part of the hipster shopping network, BSJ now offers up tunes, starting this Saturday with local rockers Shipwreck and 13th Chair. For now the all-ages, no-alcohol Space is only scheduled for 6 to 8 p.m., closing at regular store hours. But if things go well, it might turn into more, and later. Stay tuned. IN FLOWER This very paper once called Michael Chorney "one of Vermont's most creative and committed musicians." The Bristol-based

baritone saxophonist and former leader of viperHouse proves the truth of that accolade all over again this weekend. The FlynnSpace commissioned new work from Chorney — he calls it "folk music for improvisers" — and presents the results this Friday and Saturday nights. Chorney appears with his Orchid mates Rob Morse on bass, PJ. Davidian on drums and Zach Tonnisen on tenor saxophone. BEAT IT Banging on things may be the oldest musical instinct of the human species. Those of you who pounded on pots as-toddlers, graduated to forks at the dinner table and finally made the commitment to actual drums have a rare opportunity to learn from a master this Sunday. Legendary drummer Dennis Chambers (Steely Dan, George

OZOMATLI

Clinton, P-Funk, etc.) is coming to the FlynnSpace, courtesy of Advance Music, to help develop the chops of local riddim-meisters. If you want to see funk or other drumming styles in action, he the man. The workshop, which starts at 6 p.m., will run at least two hours, informs Mark Toof, who with Rachel Bischoff manages the drum department at Advance. "It's kind of a cool way to meet someone who's been in the business many years and is really talented," offers Toof. Expect door prizes and merch give-aways, too — and if you're a particularly adoring fan, the phat kit Chambers demonstrates on will be for sale afterwards. Could beat that with a stick. Speaking of workshops, master fingerpicker Martin Simpson (see review below) leads one of his own — for players of all levels — this Saturday at the Unitarian Church, prior to his evening show. Info, 454-7711. DO GOOD DEPT. The September 11th Fund continues to benefit from the kindness of musicians. On the local front, singer-songwriter Gregory Douglass does his share in a concert at the Lamoille Union High School in Hyde Park this Friday. Nationally,

FreshTracksMusic has just released a compilation CD called Bands For America — surely breaking a record for speed of manufacturing and distribution. The disc features Vermont's own Strangefolk ("Go to a Show"), Jack Johnson and Dispatch — both appearing in Burlington this week and previewed on these pages — and 14 other good dudes indeed. Pick up the disc at local retail outlets or order from www.FreshTracksMusic.com. SINGLE TRACKS Thinking about snagging some tix for Phil Lesh this Friday at Mem Odd? If only.

With an invocation like this, you might expect Martin Simpson's latest recording, The Bramble Briar, to be somewhat unruly. On the surface, this is far from the case. With scholarly accuracy, the acclaimed British guitarist and singer interprets 11 traditional and two contemporary folk tunes from his home- land in the vein of traditionalists like Nic Jones and Martin Carthy — the latter actually appears on several of the album's cuts. A champion fingerstylist, Simpson hits each note precisely. The self-produced album has a clean, acoustic sound with little studio tampering or improvisational recklessness. But something dark and wild lurks within each tune here, and through his deceptively muted playing, Simpson creates a sense of impending chaos. The ballad "Dives and Lazarus" has a brooding intensity; the indignation in his voice grows as the song moves towards reconciliation. At the start of each f IH.art in verse, Simpson slaps the guitar strings, increasing the sense of restlessness that drives the mournful melody. Simpson never approaches full-out rage; his voice remains understated throughout. It's the subtle touches that imbue the music with uneasiness, a spirit jhat might come raging through the briar at any moment. Simpson understands that the soul of these songs is alive and well, and it's critical for performers today to reanimate them through fresh interpretation. His major achievement is his ability to give traditional music vitality

in a modern, chaotic world. By reviving the old songs, Simpson reminds us that there have been tough times everywhere, in every era. One of the finest revivals on the album is "Betsy the Serving Maid." Simpson's arrangement of this difficult piece is exquisite; the unusual timing varies between the vocals and the playing, and his hands work at breakneck speed, keeping up with a verbal onslaught worthy of a rapper. Simpson weaves the singing and playing together into a tapestry that seems to embody the disparities of human nature: love and hate, envy and acceptance, greed and generosity. On "The Four Angels," he takes us back to one of tfie primal mythological characterizations of the human condition — that old fool for fruit, Adam. Lit by the flame of desire, Adam leaves the contented shade of the apple tree and eventually chops it down. Through his reading of the song, Simpson captures perfectly the tension between contentment and unfulfilled desire. As on many of these songs, the soothing buoyancy of his fingerpicking is accompanied by an inescapable sense of dread. Simpson's guitar work — his primary source of expression — conveys the sense of the song. He doesn't need words to speak to the human consciousness on instrumental tracks like "The Lover's Ghost." This eerie tune features Simpson and Carthy in a chilling musical duel. The slide guitar slowly floats and lingers like a ghost in the eaves of an old castle, and the guitar strings themselves rattle as if possessed by some chainclad spirit. The impression is haunting. The Bramble Briar is not all heavy fare, though. On Cyril Tawney's

It's been a long way, but not such a long

time, from Middlebury College for Dispatch. Now based in Boston, the trio got their musical start along with their higher education. Now critics are calling them the next Dave Matthews Band; their fans are calling them awesome. Chad Urmston, Brad Corrigan and Pete Heimbold bring their eclectic reggae-pop back to school — St. Michael's College — this Monday. Jeep open at the Ross Sports Center.

HEROIN/OPIATES UVM Research Study offering FREE, Confidential Outpatient Heroin and Opiate Treatment

ust when you thought the legacy of James Bond had dissolved into bloated Hollywood parody, along come Sex Mob, a blistering avant-jazz quartet poised to summon the soul of 007 and unleash classic Bond cool upon the new millennium. On their new Ropeadope CD, Sex Mob Does Bond, the New York-based Mob have created a psychedelic-jazz soundtrack to an imaginary Bond film. Drawing from the original compositions of Bond soundsmith John Barry, Sex Mob concocted an album of swanky European grooves, intoxicating atmospherics and tense free-jazz blasts. The resulting collection transports the listener to a spy-movie-of-themind loaded with countless martinis, threatening villains and one-night stands. Mob boss Steven Bernstein conceived of focusing an album on Bond soundtracks after having been invited by New York's Knitting Factory to participate in a festival celebrating film music three years ago. Confessing to having "hundreds of soundtrack albums," Bernstein has long had an affinity for film scores. "I have always been deeply interested in music that is subconscious, yet music that has a history with people," he claims in a phone interview. Film soundtracks "get ingrained in people's heads. Even if they don't think that they know the music, they do." Barry's soundtracks provide the perfect springboard for such subliminal meditations, as they are nearly as familiar as the movies that inspired them. In preparing the Sex Mob album, Bernstein — joined in the studio by saxophonist Briggan Krauss,

bassist Tony Scherr, drummer Kenny Wollesen and guest organist John Medeski — avoided mere theme-song covers, concentrating instead on the short "incidental'5 pieces that provide backing for many 007 exploits. These melodies pulse through the majority of Sex Mob Does Bond, inspiring half-remembered hallucinations of sexual conquests, great chases and near-impossible triumphs. Integral to the sound of Sex Mob is the slide trumpet, a primitive brass instrument with a sliding mechanism similar to that of a trombone. Although pictured regularly in classic jazz photos, the slide trumpet has long remained a novelty, toyed around with by bored jazzbos but never really considered a legitimate instrument. Yet it's capable of a unique and oddly powerful sound. After buying a cheap version in 1977 for 25 bucks, Bernstein eventually became convinced that he should work more seriously with the aggravating instrument and its incendiary tone. He's since become the only musician ever to make records solely utilizing the slide trumpet. After participating in John Lurie's Lounge Lizards and coleading Spanish Fly with Marcus Rojas and Dave Tronzo, Bernstein conceived of Sex Mob as an outlet in which to work purely with his new instrument. "Sex Mob began as a test — 'Can I have a band where I can play slide trumpet for an entire night?'" he asks rhetorically. Quickly, Bernstein began to notice that the crowd had a primal reaction to the sound he was getting. Convinced that his new undertaking was not just a fluke, he and Sex Mob grew around the warmth and range exhibited by the near-forgotten instrument.

Grating and enveloping, smoky and sharp, Bernstein's playing is the center of Sex Mob Does Bond-, imbuing each track with passion and energy. The single Bernstein original here, "Dr. Yes," bookends the album, serving as introduction and orientation to the imagined film. Opening with Barryesque organ chops and thunder-roll drums, "Dr. Yes" lulls with a militaristic snare crackle and the serpentine dance of Bernstein's slide. A magisterial saxophone struts alongside the trumpet as the track grows stronger, before a wailing groan signals the entrance of the Sex Mob Soul Choir and the tune dissolves in sweaty moans. Bond begins with tl)e morning-after organ drones and horns of "Teasing the Korean" as Wollesen's dub-infused "porno beat" drumming propels the track into a tangled web of tension. Sex Mob expertly mix snippets of nearly subconscious background music with more recognizable Bond moments. Fragments of melody familiar to any fan blurt from the tunes, drawing the listener deeper into aural espionage. "007" and "Battle at Piz Gloria" are full-tilt actionsequence thrillers filled to the breaking point with squawking horns and Medeski's manic Hammond punches. "You Only Live Twice" is a groove-lounge track with a dark side.

In funneling the spirit of James Bond through their own impassioned playing, Sex Mob have created a perfect, act-by-act interpretation of an X-rated, psychedelic Bond blowout. The album is also a welcome sound in the blur of sterile — and often sexless — modern jazz. In the hands of Bernstein and his Sex Mob, the appeal of James Bond is new all over again. ® ,

" C l o u d S h a d o w s , " by David Smith B Y M A R C AWODEY

he works of Vermont painter David Smith are some of the best contemporary landscapes in the area. Nineteen of them make up his exhibition of "Recent Oils" at Furchgott Sourdiffe Gallery in Shelburne. What makes Smith's landscapes more interesting than many others is his affinity for the abstract qualities of a scene. He makes no compositional errors, and he finds subtle transitions of value. Smith is also a masterful technician, and even though his paintings are generally small, he has a perfect grasp of scale. It is clear that he has not just seen the smaller pieces of Monet, Sisley and other key Impressionists — he seems to have really absorbed what they did and how they did it. Smith has excellent paint quality — a difficult term to define. He puts paint on canvas with sensitivity, and maintains the pigment's rich consistency. "Bales in March" has layers of white scumbled over less dominant hues to build textured snow, transversed by blue shadows that seem to ripple over the snow's contours. Smith has handled the row of green bushes in the background in a completely different manner. Its highlights are more blended, the brushstrokes more feathery.

winged forms actively darting over the low horizon — are silhouettes in a sky built from fiery layers of lavender, yellow and cerulean blue. The birds are mirroring the dark values of the land, but a row of distant blue fence posts toward the tree line provides a rhythmic counterpoint. Their grounded presence contrasts with the swooping motions of the birds. Smith has created a delicate equilibrium of darks against the chromatic excesses of his radiant sky. "Poplars" is a simple composition. Four of the chimney-like trees stand on a low horizon that slopes downward to the left. The trees are backlit, making the foreground dark and giving the leaves and trunk bright highlights around the edges. "First Dusting" and "Tree Stand" also feature rows of trees that create bands of visual texture across the canvas. The small triptychs "Shift" and "Hill Triptych" are two of Smith's most abstract pieces here. The central panel of the 19-by-7-inch "Shift" is larger than the sides and higher up in the picture plane. It is a meadow bordered by trees, and the shift gives the impression of a gentle upward slope. Angular gray shadows moving across the varied browns of the meadow unify the three panels, while the upper portions of the image are more disjointed. "Hill Triptych" is a mere 16-by-6 inches, but has broad brushstrokes that give it an expansive feel. The painting is almost nonrepresentation-. al. vSwaths of green, blue and red-orange sweep upwards at about 45 degrees from the bottom edge. Smith has

and darks of the < painting to move the viewer's eye toward the high horizon. Light blues in the sky are also a little less lilac than the blues in the foreground, just as the green of the bridge is a little more acidic than the greens of the vegetation. Smith does not seem to be selecting hues on the basis of habit. If there's a formula to his use of color, it is not obvious. The evening colors captured in "Hawk Ridge" are particularly original.

enriched the colors with layered glazes, working toward lighter values from an underpainting of darker complementary colors. While many of Smith's "Recent Oils" are filled with the bright colors of summer, he also creates interesting harmonies in his winter scenes. Chances are the lengthy period between now and spring will not find this painter idle. ®

Dairy Godmother continued from page 24a contamination, so the old understanding of listeria still held. In conducting her work, Donnelly also developed a listeria-testing method that the United States Agriculture Department still uses. Artisanal cheese-makers were alarmed recently by yet another study, this time allegedly showing that raw-milk cheddar could harbor a potentially lethal form of E. coli even after the required 60day aging period. But this study, from a state university in South Dakota, also seemed flawed. The cheese in question had never been linked to documented outbreaks of illness. Although FDA officials never said so, they seem to have taken the study very seriously. They put a review of rawmilk cheese rules on their top priority list for fiscal year 2000. To get a second opinion on the study, and hopefully some fodder to fight it, the Cheese of Choice Coalition hired Donnelly.

seem to be the case," she notes. Advance copies of her report sent ripples through Washington. After it hit town, the FDA issued its priorities for the coming fiscal year. Reviewing the cheese-making rules was no longer among them. "Whether it is cause and effect, I don't know," Donnelly says. "Could be completely coincidental." FDA officials did not return calls for comment. Donnelly isn't confident the issue is dead. The FDA, which carefully hides its inner workings, could still decide to ban raw-milk cheeses, even if the evidence of their danger is flimsy. Any action might be some time off, though. In the wake of the September 11 attacks, the FDA has focused its energies on protecting the national food supply.

correct concentrations i deters microbial growth. And finally, researchers inoculated it with a massive dose of E. coli, far more than ever would have been present in the milk. The heavy dosing with E. coli shocked K. Dun 1 Gifford, president of Oldways Preservation and Exchange Trust, a leading advocate of traditional foods and farming practices and co-founder of the cheese coalition. "You'd have to put a whole cow flop in a can of milk to get it to that level," he said. "And it'd have to be bad cow flop at that. You wouldn't have that much unless it was intentional." Donnelly understands the assumptions that stacked the deck against raw-milk cheeses. "All of us build biases into, our studies, whether we think we are the most objective scientists or not," she says. "...The problem in science is that once that information gets published, it stays in the literature forever. The damage is done, and there is always someone who will use that to support their claim." The best evidence of the safety of these cheeses, she says, lies in statistics from the C D C , which over a 40-year period found no outbreaks that were caused by the use of raw milk. Reasoning that with cheese consumption on the rise, as well as the incidence of E. coli, Donnelly says you'd expect to see epi- , demies caused by unpasteurized aged cheeses. "But that doesn't

been more good

science than good cheese. If the FDA were able to prove that raw-milk cheeses pose a public-health risk, Donnelly would support regulating or banning them. "On one level there is the freedom of choice," she said, "but when you are an agency like the FDA or the C D C , your mission is to protect public health." But, she added, "pasteurization isn't really the silver bullet" for making safe cheese. In fact, pasteurized cheeses might be more dangerous than unpasteurized ones, Donnelly says, since raw-milk cheeses have natural flora that can out-compete pathogens. Those same flora have been killed in pasteurized cheeses. "My sense is, if you did a survey of hard cheeses in the U.S., you might find a higher incidence of listeria in pasteurized cheeses," Donnelly says. "What's at stake here is one of the great food traditions of the world," says Gifford of Oldways Preservation & Exchange Trust. "Food is a part of culture just as much ^s dance or art or music. If you stamp out cheese culture, we'll be left ^ i t h just cheese slices in plastic sleeves." (7)

TUBBY OR NOT TUBBY Black falls for the inner Gwyneth in the latest from the Farrellys.

review SHALLOW HAL***

Don't look now, but the Farrelly brothers are growing up. Sure, their latest comedy exploits their trademark fetishes for gross-out gags, bathroom humor and characters with abnormalities or disabilities. At the same time, Shallow Hal hints at the emergence of an unexpected sensitivity. Jack Black stars as an average-looking guy who's gotten it into his head that he's too good for any but the most physically perfect of female specimens. Shallow Hal chronicles his journey toward enlightenment. Well, toward getting a clue, anyway. That journey begins when he finds himself trapped in an elevator for hours with Mr. Personal Growth himself, Tony Robbins. The two get to rapping, and the gargantuan selfimprovement guru offers what he believes to be the key to happiness for Hal: He puts him under a sort of hypnotic spell, in the grip of which Black's Ethan Alen SM t ppmg CIL 83-APearS i t Pirters Pon i tto230 Ntrth MaiiSt 134 TIERTH St . character bypasses the superficial and sees straight through to the inner beauty (or lack thereof) of everyone he meets. Burn il gton Essex Junctitn bkhester Rua tlnd lemingtin The guy has no idea what's really happening. He thinks Robbins sim864-0151 878-6026 660-9344 747-7001 442-4708 ply waved a magic wand and made him irresistible to women. He doesn't realize that the beauties suddenly giving him their phone numbers are, in reality, women he wouldn't have given the time of day prior to his run-in with Robbins. Best friend Jason Alexander doesn't know what to make of Hal's sudden change of taste, however. Their wildly contrasting realities make for moments of humor, ranging from the hilarious to, well, the slightly cruel. The thing about the film, though, is that the only characters who make fun of anyone are Black and Alexander, and the picture puts both these boneheads in their places long before the final credits roll. Gwyneth Paltrow plays a morbidly obese Peace Corps worker and children's hospital volunteer who's so beautiful on the inside she's, you know, played by Gwyneth Paltrow. It's love at first sight for Black, a big fat question mark for Alexander, and fodder for tubbiness-based gags like Spy Kids * Mummy Returns * Traffic the ones you've seen in the trailer.

That sort of thing, along with plenty of jumbo panty jokes, is pretty much what you might expect from a Farrelly film dealing with the subject of physical imperfection. And there is plenty of it. What's surprising, on the other hand, is how much more there is to the movie. There are memorable minor characters — one being a software magnate with spina bifida who walks on all fours and is played most winningly by Burlington's own Rene Kirby, who ran into the fraternal filmmakers when they were in town shooting Me, Myself & Irene. There's more than the customary focus on inventive wordplay. And there is — are you sitting down? -— real feeling, where cartoon facsimiles have substituted for it in past Farrelly films. Not to minimize for a minute the movies sideshow loopiness. True to their artistic principles, the brothers pull no punches in marrying the funny with the freaky (Alexander has a very special part in the movie and I don't mean the role he plays). Despite the trend suggested by Me, Myself & Irene and their script for Say It Isn't So, however, there's something about marrying them the way they do in Shallow Hal that indicates Peter and Bobby Farrelly may not be getting dumb and dumber after all.

As Michelle sideswiped the Sunshine Stare last week, the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival previewed the latest Steve Martin movie on a windy, rainy Monday evening. In this tropical playground for America's wealthiest citizens, it was a time for both anesthesia and anemology. In Novocaine — opening nationwide this Friday — Martin stars as Frank Sangster, a successful dentist who succumbs to the charms of a mysterious lady with a toothache named Susan Ivey, played by Helena Bonham Carter. This particular femme fatale happens to be a thieving, drugged-out punk. She would seem a poor choice for the straight-laced Frank, already engaged to his efficient hygienist, played by Laura Dern. But Susan and Frank actually have a lot in common. Their respective brothers each demonstrate a fondness for illegal substances and have no compunction about breaking the law to get more of them. Hidden agendas abound. When someone is murdered, Frank becomes a suspect. The thriller gets periodic comic relief from Martin's antic ability to squirm out of * JMC desperate situations. While k i n g o n some complicated « dental procedure, he keeps one ^n J N i . f i B hand in the patients mouth ^ a n d frantically stretches across j^^^Hkj the room to pocket the incrim" ^ ^ m m m S ^ ^ ^ S t ^ ^ , K S I N B H B inating red undies Susan left m ^ t m g m behind after their night of passion in the office. The classic premise — an innocent, albeit lust-driven, man drawn into the bleak world of criminals — propels the story for almost an hour, at which point it begins to unravel as comedy and noir. In watching a film not funny or suspenseful enough for either genre, the viewer finally goes numb. As a screenwriter, director David Atkins doesn't deliver the zing that Martin gave his own script for Bowfinger, the 1999 Hollywood satire in which he also performed. The snappiest moments in Novocaine come with clever X-ray graphics that accompany the opening credits, and in the cameo by Kevin Bacon as a self-absorbed famous actor who shadows a detective to research the art of sleuthing. The art of filmmaking was best represented at the festival in selections such zsYTu Mama Tambien, Alfonso Cuaron's Mexican sex romp with tragic underpinnings; The Zookeeper, a powerful Danish-British coproduction about war in an Eastern European country much like Bosnia (Ditto for No Man's Land, which will be released in December); Lantana, also opening next month, an Australian psychological puzzle with Anthony LaPaglia, Barbara Hershey and Geoffrey Rush; American Saint, an indie with Kevin Corrigan as a New York waiter and actor wannabe on the road to audition for the role of Jack Kerouac in Los Angeles; and Dead Dog, the tense tale of a guy who seeks retribution when his beloved golden retriever is killed by a hit-and-run driver. Far less impressive were some initially promising pictures: Plan B, for example, features Diane Keaton as a timid, ditzy and frenetic widow forced to serve as a hitwoman for a ruthless mob boss, portrayed by Paul Sorvino. Reaching for a Pulp Fiction sensibility, the farce starts off like some strangely twisted Godfather sequel that traces Kays fate after her eviction from the Corleone family. But director Greg Yaitanes instead dresses Keaton in a man's hat and suit, suggesting Annie Hall on speed. The broad humor is exhausting in Plan B, which also recruits the talents of John Ventimiglia (Tony's chef friend in "The Sopranos"), Burt Young (all five Rocky movies), Mary Chaykin and Anthony De Sando. Although the film may or may not ever reach Vermont, one person involved in it has some ties to the Green Mountain State: Executive producer Matt Salinger, son of reclusive author J.D., holds the same title on Jay Craven's recent projects. The duo has been raising funds to get Disappearances — adapted from a Howard Frank Mosher novel — off the ground. Craven's Barnet-based Kingdom County Productions received a $35,000 National Endowment for the Arts grant to shoot the third installment of his Mosher "trilogy," which includes Where the Rivers Flow North and A Stranger in the Kingdom. Kris Kristofferson is set to star in Disappearances, the saga of a Quebec farmer who smuggles whiskey during the Prohibition era. Salinger also plays a professor in The Year That Trembled, a film about 1970 high school graduates in Ohio that Craven wrote and directed there this summer. The lead actress is Kiera Chaplin, granddaughter of Charlie. The late silent-screen legend is a central figure in The Cat's Meow, a period piece by Peter Bogdanovich that unspooled at the Fort Lauderdale fest. As Chaplin, female impersonator Eddie Izzard dons only manly clothing to woo Marion Davies (Kirsten Dunst), even though she's the mistress of William Randolph Hearst (Edward Herrmann). The narrative concerns a real-life unsolved murder that took place in mid-November 1924 aboard the publishing magnate's yacht — a luxurious boat that would fit right in along the sometimes hurricane-, -ridden waterways of South Florida.

Dear Cecil, I have read that turtles can breathe through their bums. Is this true, and if so, why did they evolve such a talent and what are the mechanics of this trick? — Steve Carr Dear Cecil, My understanding ofphysiology is that animals (including humans) draw in air by expanding the volume of the chest cavity. How does a turtle, with a fixed chest cavity determined by its shell, draw in air? — E. Nolan Cooper Dear Cecil, When turtles put their heads in their shells, what happens to their spines? Do they buckle or contract? — Daniel Calarese How turtles breathe, how they pull in their heads — these are worthy topics. But when you get to whether turtles can breathe through their butts, that's when you know you're on the cutting edge of science. We turned to George Angehr, Smithsonian ornithologist and Straight Dope curator of critters. His reply: With an ancestry going back more than 200 million years to the late Triassic, the 200 or so species of turtles are the most ancient surviving lineage of land vertebrates. They are also one of the most distinctive life forms on the planet. My herpetology professor started his "Identification Key to the Reptiles" with the couplet: "A. Turtles. Any damn fool knows a turtle. B. Other reptiles." The most notable turtle characteristic is the rigid shell, which is composed of the flattened and fused ribs and vertebrae, plus bony elements that don't exist in other vertebrates. Also unlike other vertebrates, the shoulder and hip girdles of turtles are located within the rib cage, instead of outside it. Many turtles partly compensate for the rigidity of the body by having exceptionally flexible necks. The two main groups of turtles are distinguished by the way they pull the neck back into the body. Most species belong to the cryptodire ("hidden-neck") branch, which can fold the neck in an S-bend in the vertical plane to fully retract the head. The pleurodires ("side-neck"), two families restricted to South America, Africa and Australia,

can only bend the neck back against the body in the horizontal plane, leaving it partly exposed. The rigid rib cage also places restrictions on breathing. Turtles have two special sets of respiratory muscles. One set pulls the body contents outward, toward the openings at the front and rear of the shell. This expands the body cavity and draws air into the lungs, which are located in the top part of the shell. The other pushes the viscera up against the lungs to expel the air. This system has the drawback that both inhalation and exhalation require energy — in most vertebraces, elastic energy can be recovered from the rib cage so that exhalation requires little exertion. Turtles have extraordinary anaerobic capacity — they have survived up to 33 hours in a pure nitrogen atmosphere. (Most reptiles have a high anaerobic capacity compared to mammals, but even they can't survive much more than 30 minutes without oxygen.) Although basically airbreathing, many aquatic species have developed ways to pick up oxygen even when submerged. Of these the most remarkable is the ability to breathe through one's butt, which some turtles share with dragonfly nymphs, sea cucumbers and certain televangelists. You've heard the expression "Blow it out your after regions?" Its no mere figure of speech. Many species have a pair of sacs (bursae) opening off the cloaca (combined digestive and urogenital chamber). These are heavily vascularized to facilitate the uptake of oxygen. The champion in this regard seems to be the recently discovered (1973) Fitzroy River turtle

Rheodytes leukops ("white-eyed stream-diver"), which is confined to its namesake river in Queensland, Australia. It lives in shallow rapids where the water is highly oxygenated. One can detect the keen sense of discovery in the account by the scientists who found it, John Legler and John Cann: "One of our vivid early impressions of Rheodytes was that adults of both sexes swam with a widely gaping cloacal orifice (up to 30mm in diameter). The orifice remains open when individuals are out of the water. We first became aware of the large cloacal bursae when a female was examined in bright sunlight; the carapace transmitted enough light to illuminate the coelomic cavity and produce a spectacular view internally for at least 100mm, via the cloaca, revealing a large sac lined with vascular, villose mucosa... Water is pumped in and out of the bursae of captives and experimental animals at rates of 15 to 60 times per minute" (Legler and Cann 1980). Only dedicated herpetologists could characterize the vista up a turtle's gaping bunghole as a "spectacular view." But you can understand their enthusiasm — since the turtle's shell is only 260 millimeters long, a 100-millimeter-long bursa is relatively enormous. Up to 68 percent of the turtle's oxygen uptake is accomplished through the cloacal bursae, so it rarely needs to come to the surface to bask or breathe.

illusion fusion It takes a little magic and a lot of hard work to maintain a good relationship. Kevin and Cindy Spencer have been exercising both for years as a husband-and-wife illusionist team. Whether Kevin is passing through the whirling blades of an industrial fan, or Cindy is folding herself into a 12-inch box, the effect is visually stunning. When they are not on their magic mystery tour, the Spencers reach "healing magic" tricks to victims of stroke, accidents, spinal cord injuries and learning disabilities.

freeze frame Ski filmmaker Warren Miller goes with the snow, whether its on the slippery slopes of Kenya's Kilimanjaro or the north face of the Swiss Eiger. His annual release is just that — a vicarious chance to get psyched for the slopes without breaking anything in the process. His latest, Cold Fusion, assures orthopedic adventure in snowy settings as far away as Iran. A word of warning: Don't try that "quad-quad" maneuver — four back flips with four twists — without warming up first.

letters perfect? Before e-mail and anthrax, letters were the preferred method of communication between literary lovers. The hundreds exchanged by Russian playwright Anton Chekhov and his actress-love Olga Knipper are the basis of a new epistolary play in the tradition of Love Letters. Champlain College is presenting I Take Your Hand in Mine as a staged reading, with Don Rowe and Fran Stoddard in the title roles. "Most of their relationship is long-distance," Stoddard says of the corresponding couple. Along with references to Tolstoy and Stanislavsky, she says, their mail bonding revealed long, worried lapses between letters. / Take Your Hand in Mine, by Carol Rocamora. Saturday, November 1 7 .

the sound of the fury? We have a body count from the Nazi genocide. But the cultural cost of the Holocaust — the artists whose lives were cut short — is more difficult to estimate. That's the tragic theme behind a concert featuring composers murdered by the Third Reich, a number of whom made music at the arts-friendly Terezin concentration camp first. Organizing pianist Paul Orgei urges listeners not to read despair into pieces by Erwin . Schulhoff, Viktor Ullman and Pavel Haas. "For the most part they were just writing beautiful music," he says, "not trying to describe the conditions around them."

Thank you!

DON'T APPLAUD VERMONT'S CLEAN WATER PLAN UNTIL THE STATE STOPS MUDDYING THE WATER. We have two things to say about Governor Dean's recently announced "plan" to clean up Vermont's polluted waters: O n e - g r e a t idea! T w o - d o n ' t be so quick to fill your glass with "reclaimed" water. Because at the same time Governor Dean announced his plan to clean up Lake Champlain and 26 other contaminated watersheds, his administration announced policies that would only serve to allow more pollution and slow recovery efforts. Policies that, in light of theGovernor's stated intentions, send unclear signals to both Vermont polluters and residents. A major source of our water pollution comes from contaminated runoff in areas undergoing rapid development-places like South Burlington and Williston. Stormwater pollution from rain and snowmelt runs off developed areas into rivers and lakes, carrying a toxic brew of oil, salt, phosphorus, sediment, pathogens, garbage, and other pollutants. For three decades, the Agency of Natural Resources has virtually ignored this primary source of water pollution. In the last 1 0 years, under Governor Dean, they've allowed more than 1000 stormwater permits to expireâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;permits designed to regulate and control the sources of runoff pollution. Not surprisingly, with no one enforcing the laws, polluters blithely ignore regulations, and y / W in some cases never bother to build treatment systems they're required to build. Now, finally, the Governor says he's ready to clean up Vermont's waters. Ready to respond to laws that have been on the books since he first took office.

But at the same time he's talking cleanup, his Agency of Natural Resources is saying it will not enforce anti-pollution laws until next September at the earliest. Instead, they plan to issue general permits that allow existing pollution to continue and, worst of all, new pollution to be added to the mix. They even propose to remove Vermont's contaminated waters from federal pollution lists to avoid coming to grips with the law. In a curious, almost surreal formula, the administration seems to be saying,"Old Pollution + New Pollution = Vermont's Water Cleanup Plan: To transform the Governor's laudable goals into applaudable realities, The Conservation Law Foundation calls on the Dean Administration to take the following critical actions: 1 Enforce the law now! Force polluters to immediately comply with state and federal clean water laws. 2. Stop re-issuing permits to old polluters until they provide a specific and enforceable cleanup guarantee. 3. Don't issue any new permits until a clear cleanup strategy is in place. 4. Clean up your own mess first! Require the state transportation agency to immediately address pollution from the state's road system. We hate to remind you of this, but the Dean administration has been neglecting Vermont's water pollution ^ problems for ten years. So, before anyone applauds O their new cleanup plan, let's see if they really intend to clean things up. Q Or if they're just trying to muddy the water.

Actions Clean Better Than Words!

ology

November 14 - 21 ARIES

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Now that you're coiled deep inside the heart of the subterranean maze, I think you know what to do. Reverently slip into a state of expectant meditation. Humbly bow to the power of the uncanny mystery. Breathlessly utter the surprising password. And then cackle uproariously as the Secret of Secrets refuses to unveil itself for the hundredth time. Rise up and dance like a drunken monkey, celebrating your release from the maddening obsession. Gibber, "I just don't care anymore!" with blind joy as you claim your ecstatic liberation from the unfulfillable vow. And then sigh with orgasmic gratitude to be purged of the impenetrable riddle and launched into a future where you'll never feel as tortured again.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): You don't need more answers, my ripe friend. Not yet, at least. By January you might. But right about now you need better questions — especially about alliances, interdependence and joint interests. To get you started, here's the Question of the Week: Are those really flaws that are bugging you about the people whose destinies - are entwined with yours, or just incompletely developed talents? And now here's the Question of the Year: Are those really flaws that are bugging you about yourself, or merely incompletely developed talents? Now here's a gem from psychologist Carl Jung that should inspire even more good questions: "The best political, social and spiritual work we can do is to withdraw the projection of our shadow onto others."

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): Tantric scientists at the Institute of Whirled Consciousness have shown that prospects for world peace will rise dramatically if a mere 750,000 Geminis (about the number that read this column) do a meditation in which they visualize Jesus, Mohammed and Moses performing a Three Stooges routine for an audi-

mm. ence of Oprah Winfrey, Eleanor Roosevelt and Mother Teresa. Interestingly, the researchers also predict three transformations in your personal life if you participate in this experiment. First, you'll experience a dramatic boost in intelligence about one of the dumbest aspects of your life. Secondly, you'll lighten up your attitude about a ridiculously dogmatic belief Finally, you'll bring a big dose of feminine wisdom to bear on an overly masculine influence.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): Till the end of your days, you will require more down time than most people. You'll always vacillate erratically between hiding your feelings and revealing them too freely. You'll worry too much and carry stress in your belly and judge yourself too harshly and periodically isolate yourself from the nourishing sources you need most. Or maybe none of the above, Cancerian. What if I told you that all the behavior I just described does not have to be a lifetime curse? What if I suggested that while those tendencies might feel congenital and permanent, you can transform them? For clues on how to proceed, meditate on the pithy clues you've gathered during your current growth spurt. L E O (July 23-Aug. 22): I invoke Brigid, Celtic goddess of the undying flame, and ask her to unleash thrilling clarity in your heart. I pray to Chantico, Aztec goddess of fire, that she might awaken creative fertility in the most familiar and comfortable places in your life. I call on Ilmarinen, the magical smith of the Finnish pantheon, to appear to you in a dream and forge a talisman that will quicken your quest to deepen love. Finally, I offer a bribe to the Lakota trickster god Inktomi, in the

hope that he will shake the ground with his wise laughter and make you pregnant with a vivid vision about who you could become by 2004.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): To my great delight and your eternal benefit, Virgo, you are less boring right now than you have ever been. Your problems are absolutely fascinating, your sins are totally original and your muse is not in the mood to leave you alone any time soon. All of these fun facts will come in handy this week, when the fundamental rule will be: They who are most unpredictable yet trustworthy will commandeer the greatest influence. My conclusion: Flaunt your rich chaos with integrity, baby. Seduce benefactors and helpers into your sphere on the strength of your imaginative disruptions in routine.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Whether or not you're a pinko peacenik, you may be alarmed at how faithfully the news media is parroting the American government's party line about the war. It's not entirely the journalists' fault. They have no access to even civilian satellite photos of Afghanistan because the Pentagon owns exclusive rights to them and isn't sharing. Furthermore, few Western reporters have been able to see what's going on for themselves in the war zones; most rely on military PR spokesmen to spoon-feed them propaganda. This information lockdown reminds me of a similar situation in your personal sphere, Libra. You're out of the loop; at least one of your reliable sources has dried up. In order to make enlightened decisions about your future, you need to aggressively seek out richer data.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You could really use about twice

as much elbow room and five times as much head space. You deeply deserve a brand-new red toy and a poetic license and a blank check. You would greatly benefit from diving in over your head and feeding a telepathic flirtation and singing a fresh freedom song and fashioning a mask that fits your new face and drumming up a self-made lucky break. And I like your attitude so much these days, Scorpio, that I'm going to interpret the astrological omens as suggesting you have an excellent chance to claim all the above.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The next seven months of your life will be a turning point that's roughly analogous to the pregnant moment in evolution when dinosaurs and early mammals shared the Earth. The metaphor is not a perfectfit,though. As your reptile brain and primate brain vie for ultimate control of your desires and fears, a third force will also be muscling in. You might call it your angelic brain or Higher Self. The outcome of this three-way struggle will determine whether you'll enter into a New Dark Age or a Golden Age. My recommendation: Feed the dinosaur well but keep it on a short leash; groom and pamper the mammal; give the angel your heart and soul.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): If you don't want to peter out with a whimper in December, I suggest you exit with a bang as soon as possible. In another two weeks, you'll have to answer to fate, whereas right now fate still has to answer to you. So pull out your calendar and schedule splashy goodbyes, last laughs and colorful climaxes that leave no room for misinterpretation. Give going-away presents to part-time nemeses so that they can't possibly go

• away mad. Most importantly, forgive everyone their trespasses, including yourself. (Jan. 20Feb. 18): In the remaining weeks of 2001, you will be the beneficiary of something between a trickle and a flood of generosity. It will be in direct proportion to the generosity that you yourself have doled out in the past 11 months. Is karmic justice really that precise, you ask? Well, yeah. Even more so: For every gift you've given with strings attached, you will receive a gift with strings attached. Blessings you've bestowed unconditionally, on the other hand, will generate the same in return. Now what does all this tell you, Aquarius, about how you might want to shape your relationship with magnanimity and compassion in 2002?

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): In my spare time I manage a company called Vicarious Fantasies. For a modest price, my fun-loving crew and I live out the fantasies of people who don't have the time or courage or imagination to do so. Our only stipulation is that enacting our clients' dreams won't require us to break the law or hurt anyone. Now if it were any other time, Pisces, I might invite you to sample our services. But it so happens that this is an historic moment in your relationship with your fantasies. If you don't start living them out with a feistier devotion, You

NOVEMBER 14™ INTO 15™ "

Join the Party that is celebrated worldwide. THE UNCORKING OF BEAUJOLAIS N O U V E A U 2001 iJ> eaujolais Nouveau began as a local phenomenon in the local bars, cafes and bistros of Beaujolais and Lyons. X B / U ^ y At one minute past midnight on the third Thursday of each November over a million cases of Beaujolais ® Nouveau begin their journey through a sleeping France to Paris for immediate shipment to all parts of the world. Banners proclaim the good news: "Le Beaujolais Nouveau est arrive! The New Beaujolais Has Arrived!" Each fall the new Beaujolais would arrive with much fanfare. In pitchers filled from the growers' barrels, wine was drunk by an eager population. It tastes best when chilled, makes for a festive wine to be gulped rather than sipped, enjoyed in high spirits rather than critiqued.
