From the editor

IGHT YEARS AGO, I VISITED visited Europe for the first time, heading off to the Czech Republic to teach English in a small town right between Prague and Vienna. One thing I immediately enjoyed about this strange, new country was its incredible public transportation system. Yeah, the castles, cathedrals and museums were great, but you should really see the buses and trains over there! Zabreh, where I lived, is about the size of Vernal, but you could live there easily without getting in a car. The bus came roughly every 15 minutes day and night, and fares were cheap. For longer trips, you’d head to the train station and get a ticket to Prague or Vienna, which were both about two hours away. I have great memories of watching

the green, fog-shrouded hills roll by as I headed out of town for a weekend. I’ve missed that experience since com‘The Eagle’ has landed ing back to the States, but next week I’ll and it’s boring get to revisit it when my fiancé and I take an Amtrak trip from Los Angeles to San (Page 7) Antonio. Yes, we’re going to have our own compartment and everything. I’m thrilled about this vacation, especially since it coincides with Valentine’s week. There is Cute something so romantic about trains, especially compared to your standard airline flight with the rush through security and long, painful boarding line. The train is all about savoring, taking time sit back and watch the scenery. It epitomizes that old cliché that life is about the journey, not the destination. Old movies also always show couples on trains. At this point in my life, I am enjoying the luxury of being excited about where I’m going and the process of getting there.

PRODUCTION OF “The Vagina Monologues’”is coming to Cache Valley. Utah State University will present the popular show at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 14, and Tuesday, Feb. 15, at USU’s Taggart Student Center auditorium. Tickets are $8 for the general public, $5 for students. Created to empower women and raise anti-violence awareness, “The Vagina Monologues” is a series of monologues read by different women. Every monologue relates to the vagina in one way or another to describe what women go through every day. USU’s “Vagina Monologues” will occur as a student-driven event, organized by campus gay-straight alliance Love Is For Everyone. “The bigger theme is ending violence against women,” said

Jake Nelson, who generated of the idea and serves as president of the Allies Club. “But we are also moving away from women’s sexuality and women’s biology as being something dirty and something we shouldn’t talk about.” “Let’s talk about this because

half of the population deals with this every day. So why would vagina ever be a dirty word?” The profits from the local production of “The Vagina Monologues” will be donated to CAPSA, an organization that works to stop violence against women. A small share of the profits will be sent to Haiti. “Domestic violence is something that we deep down know happens all the time. We just don’t want to acknowledge it,” said USU Advocate Hanah Gillman. The creator of the original play, Eve Ensler decided to make this a world-wide event after many women opened up to her and shared abuse stories after the play. “It’s horrible. We don’t want to acknowledge it,” Gillman said. “Just like we don’t want to see the word ‘vagina’ on a poster.”

Stonecircle coming to Taggart Center TONECIRCLE, A Celtic-fusion band, will S be perform at 7:30 p.m. on

Saturday, Feb. 19, at Utah State University’s Taggart Student Center Auditorium. Stonecircle has been performing acoustic Celtic fusion music since 1993. The group is known for its unique arrangements of traditional tunes from England, Scotland, Ireland and Brittany, as well as writing original Celtic-based pieces. The band features George Schumaker on guitars, Bronwen Beacher on violin, Nina Cooley on flute, Tiffany Draper on tin whistle, bodrhan, and vocalist Mary Johnston-Coursey, who dances as well. They currently have four CDs to their credit, with the latest titled “Asterisk and Dragonflies.” Tickets are $15 advance; $18 at the door. Advance tickets may be purchased at KSM guitars, Sunrise Cyclery and USU Spectrum Ticket office. For more information, see stonecircle.com and bridgerfolk.org or call Eric Wagner at 760-3278. A violinist since age 7, Bronwen went to Loyola University, New Orleans on scholarship studying music therapy and violin performance. She found herself playing in a gothic band and jamming with Irish musicians. She was also the only white singer in the Loyola University gospel choir. For the past decade Bronwen has played in classical, rock, Celtic, bluegrass, folk, and alternative ensembles. Nina Cooley was born in Texas and attended Southwest Texas State

University, the University of Texas at Austin, and graduated from The Evergreen State College, where she received her degree in music and minored in music theater. Tiffany Draper is a native of Utah. She began piano lessons at age 8 and played various instruments throughout elementary and junior high school. In 2007 Tiffany found her instrument of choice — the Irish flute. As a child, Mary Johnston-Coursey studied piano and voice. In the early 1980s, she began collecting Irish music. She went on to become a professional dancer and choreographer. In addition to working with musicians and dancers, she has collaborated with poets, storytellers, visual artists and performance artists. George Schoemaker began playing the ukelele at age 4 and began teaching himself guitar when he was 6. He has played the guitar off and on ever since then.

HE CACHE VALLEY Center for the Arts presents The 5 Browns at 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 28 and March 1, in the Ellen Eccles Theatre. Tickets are $26 to $38 with discounts for USU students, half off for kids ages 5 to 18 and 15 percent off for groups of 15 or more. No discounts will be available on days-of-show. The Julliard-trained sibling superstars have taken the piano world by storm with their inventive interpretations of classical standards. This concert will feature works by renowned composers Bernard Herrmann, Elmer Bernstein, and John Williams Greg Anderson, and Franz Liszt, among others. Whether they take on “Psycho” from the Herrmann/Hitchcock medley in a relentlessly driving, heavily

dissonant piece that sets nerves on end or Dario Marianelli’s work in “Atonement” where the score excerpts open and close with the slow, sad music associated with the tragic love affair between an aristocratic Englishwoman and a commoner, The 5 Browns dazzle with their complex compositions. “Prodigies, siblings, and piano rocks stars, The 5 Browns are inspiring audiences everywhere,” said Wally Bloss, executive director for the Cache Valley Center for the Arts. “We are thrilled to fill the Ellen Eccles Theatre stage with five virtuosic piano players and their Steinways. This young and gifted group has mastered the pure collective sound of the piano.” The 5 Browns – Ryan, Melody, Gregory, Deondra and

Desirae were born and raised in Utah and were piano players since early childhood. Playing came as naturally to them as eating or sleeping and as early as age 9 they had each made their debut with a major

symphony orchestra. When Desirae began to plan for college – Deondra, a year younger, decided to accelerate her education in order to attend with her sister – the family began looking into music schools and

scholarships before deciding on New York’s Juilliard School. One year later when Gregory, Melody and Ryan were accepted to Juilliard, they became the first quintet of siblings to study simultaneously at the prestigious school. After their decision to join forces, the young piano virtuosos caught their first wave of critical attention in 2002 when People magazine dubbed them the “Fab Five” and at about the same time they were featured on Oprah and 60 Minutes. Soon thereafter, the 5 Browns signed with Sony BMG Masterworks and their success grew with the 2005 release of their debut album on RCA Red Seal. Simply titled The 5 Browns, the New York Post proclaimed: “One family, five pianos and 50 fingers add up to the biggest classical music sensation in years”

Utah State University dance professor next at Kiger Hour A WARD-WINNING director and choreographer Camille Litalien is the featured speaker for February’s Kiger Hour event. Litalien, assistant professor of dance and movement in the USU’s Theatre Arts Department, will describe how her experiences as a performer shaped her teaching of dance theater. The title of Litalien’s presentation is “Dance Theatre as a Practice of Embodiment.” “In my late career as a collaborative performer in the field of dance theater I witnessed and discussed with choreographers and directors, issues regarding the nature of embodiment,” she said. “Through sharing parts of my artistic process, I will introduce the exciting work that can be created in dance and physical theater when the artist works with awareness to the whole body.” Litalien has performed internationally with the likes of

Michael Keegan Dolan of the Fabulous Beast Dance Theatre, David McVicar of the Royal Opera House in London and David Lan of Young Vic Theatre Company. She has extensive teaching experience in universities throughout the United Kingdom and in major conservatories in Europe, including the Royal Ballet School in

London and the Art Academy of Culture, Riga in Latvia. Prior to joining USU, she worked as head of movement at Central School of Speech and Drama at the University of London. Litalien’s primary interest is the study of embodiment through choreography, improvisation, devised theater, somatic and movement studies.

Film New This Week “Sanctum” Rated R ★1⁄2 In this 3-D cave-diving adventure, a little bit of rain causes a lot of death — by accident, murder and a bizarre amount of assisted suicide. Who needs those chipper Chilean miners, anyway? Eschewing such heartwarming tales, “Sanctum,” directed by Australian Alister Grierson and produced by 3-D guru James Cameron, is more interested in the savage realities of survival. A large expedition headed by grizzled Aussie explorer Frank McGuire (Richard Roxburgh) is in the midst of mapping a mile-deep cave in Papua New Guinea (although the film was shot in Australia). Frank’s less ambitious 17-year-old son, Josh (Rhys Wakefield), along with the team’s financier daredevil, Carl (Ioan Gruffudd), and his equally gung-ho girlfriend, Victoria (Alice Parkinson), arrive shortly before a cyclone traps them underground. They’re sent scurrying through a labyrinth of cavernous chambers and underwater crevices as tight as those in “127 Hours.” Leading them with gruff determinism, Frank almost too eagerly dispatches the wounded. As a showcase for 3-D, the film is a failure. But as an anti-assisted living testament, it’s weirdly bracing. R for language, some violence and disturbing images. 109 minutes.

Still playing “The Rite” Rated PG-13 ★★1⁄2 Anthony Hopkins classes this up, as you can imagine he would in almost every situation. But even his otherworldly powers can

only make this overly familiar demonic possession thriller engaging for so long. Despite the ads that would suggest otherwise, Hopkins is a supporting player here. The center of the film is Colin O’Donoghue, 1 making ⁄2 his confident, impressive feature debut as Michael Kovak, an aspiring Catholic priest suffering a spiritual crisis. Following his mother’s death, Michael joined his father (Rutger Hauer) in the family mortuary business. Swedish director Mikael Hafstrom (“Evil,” ‘’1408”) details the painstaking process of cleaning and preparing a body for a funeral with precise, clear-eyed detail, which makes it seem even creepier. Still, Michael is obviously a caring and conscientious young man, and it makes sense that he’d be interested in tending to others through the church. Trouble is, he’s not sure what he believes. Michael Petroni’s script, “suggested by” a novel that was “inspired by” actual events, is surprisingly reasonable and eventempered with its discussions about the nature

of faith. For a while, it is neither hyperbolic nor preachy, but open to all possibilities and levels of devotion — or lack thereof. All of this intelligent setup, as well as the moody, atmospheric way Hafstrom takes advantage of locations in Rome and Budapest, make the over-the-top climax feel like even more of a letdown. PG-13 for disturbing thematic material, violence, frightening images and language including sexual references. 113 minutes. “The King’s Speech” Rated R ★★★ This is the kind of handsomely photographed, weighty-yetuplifting period drama that seems to arrive amid great fanfare come awards time each year. It’s based on a true story about British royalty, features a glittery cast and hits every note you expect it to hit. And yet the film is so flawlessly appointed and impeccably acted, you can’t help but succumb. If you can get past the nagging sensation that what you’re watching is a cynical calculation to appeal to the Academy, well, you’ll

be delighted, because the “The King’s Speech” is undeniably charming. Director Tom Hooper and writer David Seidler give the people what they want: This is high art for the masses, but you could also look at it as familiar fare that’s been gussied up. At times it feels like no less of a mismatched-buddy comedy than the Todd Phillips road-trip flick “Due Date,” although the opposites who initially clash and eventually cling to one another are played by the esteemed Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush. Firth is arrogant and uptight as King George VI, who’s struggled all his life against a debilitating stutter; Rush plays speech therapist Lionel Logue, who persuades the priggish royal to loosen up with his unorthodox methods. And there’s even a climactic deadline they have to make: The king, or “Bertie” as Lionel calls him to his annoyance, must deliver a radio address to inspire his people as the country stands on the brink of World War II. R for some language. 118 minutes.

“The Mechanic” Rated R ★★★ It’s probably blasphemy to even think this, much less say it out loud, but here goes: This remake starring Jason Statham is better than the 1972 original starring Charles Bronson — and Statham is better in the lead role than Bronson was. Now, “The Mechanic” may not have been one of Bronson’s stronger films during this era but it has achieved a certain following among genre fans. In retrospect it was a bit languid, it meandered here and there with its groovy vibe — although it did feature a breathtakingly wordless, 15-minute opening as Bronson’s assassin character laid out the works for an elaborate kill in a seedy, downtown Los Angeles apartment building. That’s the whole

point of both films: The hit men at the center of them pull off assassinations that don’t look like assassinations. Both function in a world where morals and rules don’t seem to apply, where law enforcement is practically nonexistent and the relationship between a hit man and his mentor is meant to seem as touching as the one between a father and son. Director Simon West (“Con Air”) and screenwriter Richard Wenk have taken those core concepts from Lewis John Carlino’s original script, moved the action to steamy New Orleans and pumped out a movie that’s slicker and sleeker, leaner and meaner — not in an idiotic way, but rather to reflect the actor and the times. R for strong violence, language, some sexual content and nudity. 92 minutes.

OME HAS been pushing up into England as far as they can for a while now. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve set up forts, built up settlements and pushed the native people of Britain further North. Hadrianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wall was erected as a marker where the Roman occupation ended and the â&#x20AC;&#x153;savageâ&#x20AC;? wilderness began. No Roman could survive past the wall. Well, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only the case if the Roman isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t played by Channing Tatum. Marcus Aquila (Tatum) is a general in the Roman military. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spent his entire life being shamed because of his father, who was also a military commander in one of the most famous legions in Rome. After a war campaign up North, his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legion was ambushed and slaughtered. Not only did they get wiped out but they lost the eagle â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the gold standard of Rome. From then on the Aquila name was disgraced. After suffering a major injury in battle, Marcus Aquila retires to his uncleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s countryside estate. He has constant flashbacks of his father fighting in his last battle, and relinquishing the eagle to their enemies. During a gladiator fight Marcus ends up saving the life of a poor slave who wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fight in the ring. The slave is indebted to him. The beginning of the film moves along at a snailâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pace, with Marcus looking sullen most of the time. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just so unhappy that his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legacy has been tarnished. So, after think-

by Kevin Macdonald, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very seasoned director. He was at the helm for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Life in a Day,â&#x20AC;? which was at Sundance. That was a superb film, one of the best of the year. This movie seems like Macdonald and the rest of the crew were coasting along on cruise control. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a reason why â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Eagleâ&#x20AC;? is coming out at the beginning of February. It isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t any good.

The Reel Place By Aaron Peck

ing long and hard about it he rashly decides that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to go North of the wall and bring back the eagle. Alone. He brings along his British slave, Esca (Jamie Bell), who has seen his fair share of misery. He needs Esca to navigate the unforgiving land, and to speak the native tongue to the people up North. Why Esca helps Marcus is left completely unexplained. While he was a kid, Esca faced atrocities at the hand of the Roman Empire. He hates them, yet he helps Action!

another piece of the puzzle, without really doing much by himself in the first place. It just so happens he stumbles into the village that has the eagle. He sees it during a ritual. He just happens to run into the man who saw his dad die and also meets the man who killed him. It all works out too perfectly. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always wondered why movies about the Roman Empire use British accents for Romans, and now I know why. Hearing Romans with strong American accents is grating on the ears.

â&#x2DC;&#x2026;Â˝ â&#x20AC;&#x153;the eagleâ&#x20AC;? Marcus complete a mission for Rome without putting up too much of a fuss. There isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t one scene that explains his motivations or why heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suddenly become an ardent Roman hell-bent on helping kill his own people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Eagleâ&#x20AC;? is one of those movies where everything happens by convenient coincidence. Right when Marcus is about to give up he finds

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Eagleâ&#x20AC;? is tedious, and lacks any sort of motivation for Esca, who is the main reason Marcus ends up completing his quest. This is a shame, too, because the movie is directed

Best bets for single malts and Pinot Noirs

TRY TO STAY AWAY from topics about which I know very little. The February issue of Wine Spectator has a wonderful article on single malt Scotch whiskeys. I am not a whiskey drinker. I tried without success to appreciate these single malt whiskeys. My exposure was to the peaty and smoky 16-year-old Lagavulin from the Isle of Islay. This is one of recommended whiskeys that are no longer available anywhere in Utah. The whiskeys available in Utah that match with the recommended list include Glenlivet with the 15 year old at $49.99 and the 16 year old at $59.99, and listed as fruity. The 10-yearold Talisker at $49.99, like the Lagavulin, is called peaty, and “on the palate is like a piece of toast slightly coated with fruit.” I have never had that kind of flavor in a glass of wine. I wrote down about 10 single malts, but only a few are on the recommended list. However, the DABC has most of Wine Spectator list in their inventory. There must be more whiskey drinkers in Cache Valley than I realized. The age of a whiskey is determined by how long it was in the oak barrel. Whiskey does

not age in the bottle. Old Sherry and Port casks along with the cheaper Bourbon barrels are used and sometimes the type of cask is changed during aging. The DABC sells these whiskeys at exactly the national listed price, which is quite different than for wine. Most whiskeys have 40 percent alcohol by volume like most distilled beverages. There are a few that have 50 percent alcohol, so you have to examine the bottle if that is important. The distillers recommend that these whiskeys should not be consumed straight, but with a little water or ice. This article made me want to take a trip to Scotland and its islands. I heard about Pinot Noir wines from Oregon back in 1984 and went there to find some samples. There were no Oregon wines imported to Utah and they were hard to find in Oregon unless you went directly to the winery. I tasted at least 12 different Pinot Noir wines and do not remember being overly impressed. How times have changed, and Oregon is giving Santa Barbara stiff competition for top Pinot Noir wines. The 2008 vintage is rated 97 overall. No Oregon vintage

has been rated this high in the last 10 years. Sadly, Cache Valley drinkers are not big on Pinot Noir wines, I think, since they tend to be a little more expensive. The 2008 Adelsheim at $24.99 has been given high ratings by both the Wine Spectator and the New York Times. I have had the 2007 Maysara Jamsheed Pinot Noir at $24.99, and the 2008 vintage is rated as high. A Pinot Noir

The dearth of high quality rosé wines continues to bother me. The only one I really like in our store is the 2009 Crios de Susana Balbo Rosé at $11.99. This is a bold dry rosé made from the Malbec grape. I also enjoyed the 2009 Crios de Susana Balbo Malbec at $14.99. The vintages of this wine have been rated 90 since at least 2006. Malbec wines have increased in popularity and this is one of the best at the price. A great wine for pasta or pizza is the 2008 Di Majo Norante Sangiovese at $13.99. This wine has been consistently good over the years and the current vintage is rated 90. The wine has the aroma of flowers and the flavors of red fruit.

HE BURGEONING size and scope of America’s intelligence-gathering efforts during and after the Cold War mask the harsh reality that the nation’s capacity for clandestine warfare at the outset of World War II was virtually nonexistent. Thus it was essential for President Franklin Roosevelt to select a go-getter with the skills, background and drive needed to organize a new intelligence agency and whip it into shape to confront the Axis threat. The man FDR selected to head the Office of Strategic Services, William “Wild Bill” Donovan, was a larger-than-life figure whose career has the makings of a Hollywood screenplay. A Medal of Honor winner during World War I who went on to become a millionaire Wall Street lawyer

and an unsuccessful Republican candidate for governor of New York, Donovan displayed a thirst for action more akin to an infantry commander than a spymaster. Before accepting the intelligence assignment, he expressed a preference to lead an Army division in combat. During the

course of the war he placed himself in harm’s way whenever he had the chance; he took part in the landings in Sicily and Anzio, waded ashore with Gen. Douglas MacArthur at Hollandia in New Guinea, flew in a two-seater aircraft behind enemy lines in Burma, and defied Army orders by landing on D-Day at Utah Beach, where he quickly found himself under enemy machinegun fire. His reckless behavior also permeated his private life, in which his extramarital affairs were such common knowledge that agents stationed abroad were aware of his desire for female companionship during his foreign stops. Donovan was almost a stranger to his shy, sensitive wife, Ruth, who came from a wealthy Protestant family that contrasted with his poor Irish-Catholic background. Donovan’s penchant for collecting secrets took root as he

traveled to Europe during the 1930s in search of business for his law firm, met with the likes of Winston Churchill and Benito Mussolini, and realized that the U.S. must enhance its intelligence capabilities to wage the war he believed was inevitable. Although Donovan was never part of the president’s war council, Waller characterizes him as “Roosevelt’s idea man, his secret daredevil, his spark plug for thinking outside the box.” In this fast-paced, entertaining and engrossing biography, the author delivers a portrait of a hard-driving, Type A extrovert willing to take on political enemies such as the FBI’s J. Edgar Hoover while recruiting and directing a spy network that targeted Nazi Germany and its occupied territories. Angry when President Harry Truman disbanded the OSS after the war, Donovan saw a new Central Intelligence Agency emerge a

few years later but never headed the agency he had pushed so hard to create. Waller, whose previous books include a biography of Gen. Billy Mitchell and an account of life aboard a Trident nuclear submarine, comes through with a well-calibrated assessment of Donovan and the impact of the OSS on the war. “Even his critics — and they argue over his legacy to this day — concede that his OSS was the Petri dish for the spies who later ran the CIA,” Waller writes. “The daring, the risk taking, the unconventional thinking, the elan and esprit de corps of the OSS would permeate the new agency.” The book is replete with fascinating anecdotes and tales of derring-do that offer the stuff of espionage thrillers combined with political chicanery and historical fact.

UR COUNTRY’S Good,” a historic drama about the lives of English convicts in 18th century Australia is presented by Utah State University’s Caine College of the Arts Feb. 17 to 19 and 23 to 26. “Our Country’s Good” is the story of first fleet of settlers, consisting of convicts and Royal Marines, sent to New South Wales in 1788 as part of the first penal colony on the then British occupied island of Australia. It follows the attempts of the brutal officers who begin orchestrating a play — with a cast drawn from convicts — to perform for the penal colony’s governor. The play-within-a-play showcases the class system in the convict camp and discusses themes such as sexuality, punishment, the judicial system and the

idea that it is possible for ‘theater to be a humanizing force.’

“There are two main elements to this production,” said Adrianne Moore,

associate professor for the department of theatre arts in the Caine College of Arts and the play’s director. “It’s a historical look at the harshness of life for the first convicts to settle in Australia, and it’s a story about the redemptive power of art as the convicts rehearse a play.” Theatre arts department faculty member and costume designer Nancy Hills agrees. “This play is all about the humanizing and extraordinary effect art can have on people even in the most difficult of situations,” Hills said. An interesting aspect of the play is its tie to reality, said Hills. The real-life characters spent nearly nine months travelling by sea from England to establish Botany Bay.

“This play is based on a real book, the characters are based on real people and the crimes the play’s convicts are imprisoned for are examples of real charges convicts were punished for in the late 1700s, like stealing candlesticks and hair bonnets,” said Hills. Because the play is a dramatic depiction of the relationships between convicts and officers and contains mild language and sexual references, it is not recommended for youth age 16 and younger. “Our Country’s Good” takes the stage at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 17 to 19 and 23 to 26 in the Morgan Theatre of USU’s Chase Fine Arts Center. Tickets are $13 for reserved seating, $11 for USU faculty and staff and non-USU students and free for USU students.

Hamlet’s mock trial ends in hung jury By The Associated Press NOTORIOUS CASE A that waited 400 years to go before a jury resulted in no

definite answer to the question of whether the defendant — Hamlet Prince of Denmark — was sane when he committed murder. U.S. Supreme Court Justice Anthony M. Kennedy presided over a mock trial Monday night at the University of Southern California, an event sponsored by the Shakespeare Center of Los Angeles. The hung jury, which included actors Helen Hunt and Tom Irwin, deliberated with the audience eavesdropping by video feed. Of the 12 jurors, two found

the prince insane, while 10 found him to be sane at the time when he stabbed Polonius, the adviser to the king in the classic Shakespeare play. Noted Los Angeles attorneys filled in as prosecutors and defense lawyers before an audience of other lawyers, students and onetime Hamlet actor Mel Gibson. “It has taken well over 400 years for our client to get his day in court,” said Blair Berk, who represented Hamlet. “To be sane, or not to be sane, at the AP photo time he killed Polonius. That is Actor Graham Hamilton portrays the question.” Hamlet during a mock trial. Berk and the other defense attorney, Richard Hirsch, played sic personality disorder. on Shakespeare’s words in “He was truly a melancholy arguing that Hamlet had a clasDane,” said Hirsch, noting

that Hamlet’s own mother proclaimed him to be mad. But the prosecutors, Deputy District Attorney Danette Meyers and attorney Nathan J. Hochman, argued that Hamlet was sane — though obsessed with avenging the death of his father, the king. Meyers told the jury that Hamlet’s murderous behavior was not a result of insanity. “This is anger, and what today would be called payback,” she said. She also said that his vision of his father as a ghost giving him orders was not evidence of his mental state. “Seeing ghosts was not uncommon in the state of Denmark,” she added. Both sides called to the wit-

ness stand famed forensic psychiatrists who have testified in high profile cases including those of O.J. Simpson, Charles Manson and the Unabomber. Dr. Saul Faerstein said Hamlet was “totally crazed and unhinged,” citing soliloquies in which “he’s talking to himself with no one else there.” He said Hamlet “was experiencing was an auditory hallucination” when he saw his father’s ghost. “That was a sign of a significant psychological disorder,” Faerstein said. Dr. Ronald Markman disagreed, saying that Hamlet knew right from wrong and did not meet the current accepted criteria for having a major depressive disorder.

HE FRIENDS of the MerrillCazier Library spring lecture features a photographer and author who will discuss their collaboration on the book “Southern Paiute: A Portrait.” The book is the culmination of more than nine years’ work by writer William Logan Hebner and photographer Michael L. Plyer and is published by USU Press, a department

of Utah State University’s University Libraries The lecture is at 7 p.m.

on Thursday, Feb. 17, in Merrill-Cazier Library, Room 101, on the USU campus. It is free and open to all. For the book, Hebner interviewed and Plyler photographed Southern Paiutes across the large expanse of their homelands extending from southeastern Utah to southern California. “Then, Hebner framed the Paiutes’ stories with a thoroughly researched

overview of their history and culture,” said John Alley, USU Press. “Though today dispersed in widely separated communities in Utah, Arizona, Nevada and California, the Southern Paiutes historically held a broad swath of the desert Southwest.” The oral histories in the book recount cultural traditions and discuss important historical events such as the Mountain Meadows Massacre.
