TT f you’re driving your car at the speed of light and put your 11 headlights on, what happens? — Rob Moore

Christ, what are you guys on out there anyway? As any infant with even the most tenuous grasp of the theory of relativity knows, the speed of light is constant for any inertial observer. Does that answer your question? I didn’t think so. Let me put it another way. Suppose you’re zipping down to the Dairy Queen in you Hyundai at 0.99c — in other words, 99 percent of the speed of light. While en route you flip on the high beams and perform various subtle and ingenious experiments that I will not describe here. You discover that the light from the headlamps is traveling away from you at (surprise!) the speed of light. In other words, your headlights operate normally. Now suppose a stationary observer at the side of the road performs the same experiment on the same beam of light. She (her name is Myra) discovered that the beam is moving away from her at speed c also. But how can this, be, you ask? Since I’m going nearly the S. of L. to start with, shouldn t that give the photons emitted by the headlamps a running start, so to speak, enabling them to travel nearly twice the speed of light with respect to Myra? Not to put too fine a point on it on, no. The explanation for this is a little complicated, but the gist of it is this: when your speed approaches c, you and all your measuring sticks become foreshortened, i.e., squished like an accordian along your axis of travel. This throws off all your measurements, makmg the light beam appear to recede from you at the same speed c no 11V°Ure reKy g°lng- Vnfortunately, nobody knows how fast you re really going, because in this morally permissive universe of ours, everything s relative.

F BRIEFCASES $80,000 worth and attracted the attention of Jack Lemmon and Clint Eastwood, both of whom wanted to play but couldn’t. In 1989, says Connerty, sponsors hope to have a four-day event, spread over two golf courses and including a tennis compe tition and participation of the Association of Tennis Professionals. For information on the event, contact the MS office, 731-9974, and ask for Connerty or Sally Hazelip, MS regional director.

BACK TO CAMP The pros are coming back to camp for the second year and this time you’re invited to join them. The NFL Players Back to Camp Golf Tournament kicks off with a shotgun start at Marsh Landing 8:30 a.m. July 8 and concludes the follow ing day after a 10:30 a.m. tee-off. Accord ing to Hugh Connerty of Hooters, a founder of the event, the public is invited to follow along at no charge. If you want to play with a pro it will cost $750, assuming there are any spots still open, but the main attraction for football fans is Friday’s Punt, Pass, Kick and Drive (and laugh) competition. Al though it will cost you a $5 donation to get into the driving range, autograph and grandstand area — the tournament bene fits the Multiple Sclerosis Society and the $5 also gets you an autograph book — you should get your money’s worth. Beginning at 3 p.m., Vinny Testeverde, Steve Spurrier, Dan Marino, Gene Up shaw, Conrad Dobler, Kris Col lingsworth, Frank Gifford, Phil Simms and other gridiron greats will compete for a new Buick Riviera courtesy of Key Buick. Touchdowns may come easier. Within 30 seconds, each man must punt a Nerf football, kick a regulation football from a tee (football or golf — which do you think?), throw a midget football and drive a cayman golf ball (that’s the one devel oped by Jack Nicklaus that only goes half as far). The events, admits Connerty, were developed “over a few beers.” When not actually throwing, kicking and driving, all 25 pros will be available for autographs. “We’re hoping 3,000 to 4,000 people will show up,” says Con nerty. If you miss the event in person, you can catch it on ESPN 8 p.m. July 31. The network will have a crew here all three days, beginning with the reception, celeb rity draw and memorabilia auction 7 p.m. July 7 at the Southpoint Marriott. Tickets for this are $50 per person. The tournament is growing faster than the Refrigerator. It began last year with no corporate underwriting; this year it has

The British are coming — British Boy Scouts — and the visit has been a long time in coming. Steve Connely, chair man for the North Florida Council’s international committee, has been corre sponding with British scout leaders for three years attempting to make real the British scouts’ dream to see America. The scouts from North Humberside, England, will arrive July 30, and earned most of the money for the trip themselves, said Dick Harvey, communications director for the Council. About two dozen scouts will visit the area for three weeks. After the first four days of receptions and getting-to-knowJacksonville activities, the boys will be off

CAVEAT EMPTOR We’re consumers. We get burned. It doesn’t matter who you know or what you pay, you buy it, it breaks, falls apart or just doesn’t work. The Jacksonville Division of Consumer Affairs annually reports the leading com plaints from locals. Chief of Consumer Affairs, Rachel Marcus Hendry, said the problems reported the most in Jackson ville are: 1) home or apartment rentals, 2) auto repairs, 3) auto sales and services, 4) home repairs and 5) roofing.

to meet the mouse. When they return from Disney World the British scouts will camp with American scouts. The cultural exchange goal of the visit will be further realized during the British scouts’ last week in America when each boy will be hosted by a local family. The home hosting was developed specifically for local boy scouts who want to earn the World Crest Patch of International Scout ing, which requires that the scout partici pate in a meaningful exchange of world cultural affairs and spend a certain amount of time with a foreign scout, among other things, said Harvey. “The patch is signifigant not only in what it seeks to do, but in its place in the uniform. It is worn above the left pocket where it stands out above all the other pocket flaps and stuff. It’s three inches around and purple,” he said. Host families are still needed, as are volunteers and donations. The North Florida Boy Scout Council is currently seeking people of British descent who might be interested in making contact with these scouts. “War brides, Navy people, anyone who’s interested," Harvey explained. Local companies doing busi ness with Great Britain might have some vested interest, said Harvey. Travel agen cies, for example, might want to be involved in the send-off reception at the airport. To participate, call Connely at 731-8900 or 731-8922.

Many of these grievances involve con tractservice arrangements, especially home repair and roofing jobs. Apartment dwell ers rail against reneged deposit returns, maintenance performed without notice or maintenance not performed at all. Hendry said a trend she’s beginning to see in Jacksonville is the dreaded vacation scam. Companies that have flogged South Floridians with their sham packages are moving here. They often advertise through the mail, she said, and use terms like “Free Vacation” (which begs the term “No Sympathy”). Advertising gets its share of complaints, too. The beef mainly is with the old “bait and switch” ad, which promises some thing that isn’t delivered, Hendry said. The Consumer Affairs hotline number has been changed to 630-3667, and if you’re mad enough to march on down there, you should head for the Old Southern Bell Building on Church Street, in the Town Center. — Deirdre Quinn

Check the “Most Fequently Called Numbers” section in the city blue pages, and you get an idea of what’s rotten — or rotting — in the City of Jacksonville. The number one grievance the Garbage Control Division gets is odor. People dial seven digits, probably wait on hold and maybe get transferred a few times, just to say it smells. “We thought most of our complaints would come from commercial and indus trial parties, but most are from neighbor hoods,” said Jim Sewell, Pollution Con trol Engineer.

Noise pollution nagging is seasonal. In the summertime, pool sounds and air conditioning clamor register high. Kids on skateboard ramps at night keep the older generation awake and pesky punks Sewell calls “squealing pool pups” do their share, as well. “People can tolerate most noises during the day,” Sewell said, “but not after 10 pm.” After-work hours and weekends are sacred, when people don’t especially want to hear others’ music. The most unusual Noise Control call reads like a fable. A man on the West Side, a resident for 18 to 20 years, suddenly found himself living next door to a newcomer who settled in with 200 roost ers. Sewell said nothing could be done for the guy because he lived in an “open rural” area. The moral: Know thy zoning.

By Kelly Turner

Narcotics Officer Rick Graham and His War on Drugs It’s 80 degrees ’s 80 degrees in the shade on a muggy March afternoon in downtown Jacksonville, onville, the exhaust fumes from the endless stream of traffic floating longer than usual in the soggy heat, but Rick Graham seems oblivious to the humidity and pollution. Graham, an undercover narcotics agent with the Jacksonville Sheriffs Office, is wearing a light peach pullover shirt and gray designer jeans, a passive combination of pastel and neutral colors that offsets his tough, somewhat gruff exterior. He’s making the short trek down Bay Street to the courthouse to sign an affadavit that will allow the city to seize the property and valuables of a ' recently busted cocaine dealer. It’s just part of a lengthy process that will cost Graham much more time than it ever took him to catch the guy, but it’s a process he is familiar with and one he seems more than happy to oblige if it puts one more dope dealer behind bars.

I m not so sure we’re winning the battle,” He continues, more frustrated than fatalistic. I m not sure we’ll ever win the battle, but if we don t continually stay on it and put as much resource as we possibly can into trying to combat it, it'll just be like a plague. It’ll just take over. All we hope to do at this point, solveit’’’lS C°ntro1 ic' 1 don’c think we’U ever A Jacksonville native and the son of a construction worker and homemaker, Gra ham graduated from Andrew Jackson High ocnool in 1973 thinking he wanted to be a dentist. Two semesters later at the University ot South Florida, he decided dentistry wasn’t nis destiny after all so he switched gears and decided to pursue police work. He graduated from the police academy in 1977, and received his associate degree in criminology from Florida Junior College shortly thereafter. After paying his dues in uniform for a few years, Graham was transferred to the bur glary division, where he quickly gained sev eral letters of commendation for his work. In 1986, he was transferred to narcotics where, according to Lt. Willey Hodges, head of the Narcotics Division, he quickly earned his place as one of the most outstanding officers in the division. He continues toward the courthouse, ex plaining the importance of the statutes that allow police to seize property, thus disabling dealers if they are released early from prison. He repeatedly mentions the satisfaction that comes with his job. “Putting someone in jail who thinks they’re above the law and can outsmart the police is extremely gratifying,” he says grimly. Although it’s a time-consuming process, making sure a dealer has little or no assets when he gets out of jail is worth every minute Graham invests. “When you take somebody down who’s making $5O,OOO-$75,OOO every couple of months dealing drugs on the street and you spend hundreds of man hours and you finally get him in court and get him convicted and then he’s back out on the street before the ink’s dried on the paper a lot of times, that’s frustrating,” he said. “That’s one of the most frustrating parts of my job, to work long and hard and make a good case on a major violator and get him convicted and then have him get off with only a little jail time.” Narcotics officers have been promoted to legendary status over the years, partly because of “Miami Vice” and partly because of movies like The French Connection, which depicted the real-life exploits of two New York officers who busted a large heroin ring. Narcotics work conjures up images of Maseratis, shoot ’em ups and high speed chases. But in the real world, the chases and shoot ’em ups are few and far between, and mostly not at all. Graham, like the majority of officers in this country, has drawn but never fired his weapon other than on the practice range. And like most officers, he has never been shot or even shot at. Although he possesses a ruthless passion for his job, he will tell you 90 percent of what he does is boring: long weeks of surveillance and posing as a drug buyer or dealer that eventually lead to an arrest, only to be followed by longer weeks of court appearances and rummaging through documents and. testimonies. The busts are made and the gratification is there, but it ain’t Crockett and Tubbs.

Control!ng the Game Graham is sitting in the state attorney’s office, reviewing the affidavit on the dealer with an assistant state attorney. There are some typos, none serious but enough to make the attorney request they be fixed before he signs. “They used the word 'source' when actually the guy said ‘partner,’ and we, have on tape what he actually said and that’s the kind of stuff defense attorneys are always looking for,” Graham explains, heading down stairs to grab some lunch and give the secretary time to fix the mistakes. It’s slightly past the lunchtime rush hour, so business is pretty slow today in the sandwich shop across the street from the courthouse. Graham sits in the back, hun kered over a chicken salad plate and sipping on a Tab, resting his feet on the sticky foot stands that grip the bottoms of your shoes

like epoxy resin. He is a low-key, fairly intense man who loves his job and despises dope dealers. Hates them. His muscular frame, bulked up by years of construction work, only adds to his intensity. When he cracks a smile, however, a certain softness breaks through his leathery veneer — he’ll tell you he’s cynical, but his determination in busting dealers suggests he cares too. He gets downright disgusted, though, when talking about his informants. However unreli able and inconsistent they might be, infor mants are often a crucial part of the game. “Believe it or not, most of the street level people we catch are basically weak people and they’ll tell on their mother to get out of a jam,” he said. “A lot of times they do ‘roll over’ and want to talk on someone else. But the bigger guys very seldom want to roll over because they usually have high-priced attor neys on retainers and naturally the first thing an attorney is going to tell them is, ‘Don’t talk to anybody but me.’ It’s usually a few weeks after the arrest [before] they figure out we have a good case against them and that the only way they’re going to get any consideration on their case is to become an informer and help us make bigger cases against bigger guys. “But most informants aren’t much better than the dealers we’re trying to bust,” he adds. “They’re usually trying to control the game and that’s not the way it works. I control the game. But I guess informants are just a necessary evil.” Surely police work is filled with many such necessary evils. “Well, I don’t know,” he says, his thick shoulders drooping ever so slightly as he picks through his chicken salad. He pauses long and thoughtfully, his voice dip ping almost inaudibly. “Except that maybe I deal with the scum of the earth.” Graham is obviously not the same hotshot rookie who graduated from the academy 11 years ago, filled with piss and vinegar and ready to blow away bad guys, the “John Wayne Syndrome,” as the old-timers call it. There’s a wife and a daughter and a house to take care of now, but it’s the years on the force that have subdued his attitude. What has happened in the last 11 years happens to most officers at most precincts around the country — the piss and vinegar is slowly replaced with the more frustrating combina tion of cynicism and concern in a job that is a never-ending battle. In other words, even when a major bust is made, Graham knows full well his department is only scratching the surface when it comes to combating drug traffic in Jacksonville. Graham doesn’t usually deal with street-or mid-level dealers. It’s the big boys he likes to play hardball with. Although the street dealers are a more visible and numerous element, crippling a drug operation is far more effective when a major violator is captured. “They don’t necessarily have to have a long arrest record to be a major violator because most of the major violators are very sophisticated dopers,” he explains. “Smart violators don’t get arrested on a regular basis ... We classify major violators as people who our intelligent sources tell us are involved in trafficking and moving and distributing large quantities of drugs. “If you take some guy off a bicycle who’s riding around out there as a lookout, you’re not making much of an impact. You take that guy off the street and chances are nothing much is going to happen to him to begin with and they’ll just get his brother or his cousin or somebody else after he leaves to do the same job. You have kids in the lower income neighborhoods and the dope man offers them $50 or $100 a day to just ride their bikes around and holler ‘99’ or ‘boogerman’ or whatever code they may be using at the time ... How can you expect a kid to say, ‘No, I’m gonna go work for Burger King or McDonald’s for $3.35 an hour and work eight and nine hours a day.’ How can you expect a kid to do that? Especially when his dad or mom may have done the same thing when they were kids?”

1 attention to himself. He’s not gonna want to drive a big flashy car or wear the two-inch thick rope chains.” Wealth for no apparent reason is one thing narcotics officers are trained to look for. “There are some people who consider themselves high-level drug dealers and like to play the role and drive fancy cars. They like to showboat and wear the Pierre Cardin clothes. They’re the ones who make my job easy because it doesn’t take an intellectual genius to figure out they’re involved in narcotics."

“Let Me See Your Product.” Graham is driving his car down St. Augustine Road near Emerson Street, his mirrored sunglasses reflecting the dilapidated scenery around him. This is the domain of street dealers and junkies, and Graham reaches down and unsnaps the strap holding the gleaming silver .38-caliber pistol to his leg. It’s only a safety precaution, but although the chance of violence is slim, the threat always seems close by. Graham pulls into a parking lot just behind the Emerson Arms Apartments. It’s not long before a man wearing a black T-shirt and jeans and riding a bicycle approaches the car. He asks Graham what he wants. “Twenty cent piece?” Graham asks, refer ring to a $20 rock of crack cocaine. you? “Y’all ain’t the police are yo ”?” the man asks. “Naw, man, I ain’t the police. You ain’t the police tidin’ a bicycle around are you? Last time I... naw, man, you the police.” “I got some but y’all the police,” the man insists. He seems to relish the prospect of a sale, but remains cautious. You get the feeling he’s been in this situation more than once. “Naw, we ain’t no police, man. Let me see your product. I got my money.” Graham pulls out a roll of 20 dollar bills; the man pulls out a small bag with one piece of crack in it. It’s squishy and soft and looks like a chip of partially dissolved aspirin. “Squeeze it. Is it soft?” “Naw, it ain’t soft. That’s real, there,” the man insists as he gives the rock a squeeze, spreading the milky residue inside the bag even more. By now four other youths have gathered around the car and are peering inside. One of them is sure Graham is the “PO-lice.” “Aw, that’s too little for twenty, man,” Graham decides. He’s obviously enjoying the role. “What choo want?” one of the other youths asks Graham. “I want a nice twenty, man,” Graham answers. “You gotta nice twenty? He’s got a little ol’ bitty piece.” “That’s a big twenty, there,” the youth says. “Naw, that’s a little ol’ bitty piece,” Graham says firmly. “Man, that’s all squished up-” “This here’s all I got,” the first dealer says. “All right, I’ll go down the street, then,” Graham says, and the youths quickly dis perse. There was no bust, but the point was obvious: Street dealers are largely a result, not a cause, of the problem. The problem is the big dealers. “These guys here are junkies, jugglers,” Graham says, as he pulls away from the parking lot. “All they’re (doin’ is selling enough to support their own habit. Now you have some out there making big bucks, but I could tell just by lookin’ at that clown there that he was just a street juggler.”

Throw the Little Fish Out to the Big Fish Graham is on the phone talking big money with a middle man who is setting him up to buy 100 pounds of marijuana from a dealer. This middle man is already serving time for a previous drug arrest and is currently out on a work release program. The man talks freely in front of his co-workers, and at one point even mentions he might have to give each of them a half-ounce of pot to keep them quiet. It is going to cost $85,000 to buy the 100 pounds of dope. Graham asks when the deal can be made. In the morning, the man answers. Suddenly Graham does some quick mental acrobatics; he has a court appearancethe next morning so he has to think of a legitimate reason to delay the deal until the afternoon. I can’t do it in the morning, Graham says, resorting to an excuse he’s used several time before. I need more time to come up with that much money. It works, and the deal is set for 3:30 the next afternoon.

■

Don’t Ever Sell a Dealer Short

“Just so I don’t feel hinkey, you’re gonna know everybody that’s out there, right?” Graham asks. The man assures him he will know everybody, so Graham tells him he’ll call him at 3 o’clock the next day. He hangs up the phone. “Dumb shit,” he says. Graham is expected to generate his own cases, a chore that’s usually not too difficult. In the case of the marijuana dealer, Graham received a call from one of the dealer’s disgruntled customers, a common method of starting an investigation. “Somebody gets pissed off at a dope dealer from a former transaction or something like that. We also get rollovers. We throw the little fish out to the bigger fish.” Between these two methods, Graham is never at a loss for prospective cases. When undercover, Graham often disguises himself as a businessman or another dealer to build trust in the dealer he is pursuing. “If you have the ideal situation you give the CI [confidential informant] your cover to tell the bad guy. Where you really get yourself in a jam is when the CI lays the groundwork prior to talking to you and he says a lot of crap like [the undercover officer] is from Houston, and then the bad guy just happens to be from Houston. If he’s smart he’s gonna ask you two or three questions about something that’s gone on in Houston. If I’ve never been there I’m gonna stumble all over myself.” He has often sold drugs to catch dealers —not nickle bags of pot or a couple of Quaaludes, but more sizable amounts of narcotics such as kilos of cocaine. He says the department maintains a strict control over how much is sold by undercover officers so it’s all returned, not sold to the public. When playing the role of a buyer, Graham prefers not to work on the street. “I don’t look like a user,” he says. “I look healthy. What I do when I’m posing as a street buyer, though, is take an attractive female officer with me and tell the dealer, ‘Hey man, when my girlfriend here gets a toke off that pipe she

just turns me every way but loose.’ They buy it every time. They don’t even think about you being the police.” Controlling illegal drugs may be an unwinnable battle, but flushing out dealers can be easy. “Most dopers’ downfalls come about be cause they become excessively greedy,” he said. “That’s usually what gets them caught. They become too greedy and too big for their own good and en^l up drawing a bunch of attention to themselves ... running in the fast lane ... that’s the way they get caught. A smart drug dealer looks like you or me or anybody else walking down the street. He wants to do as little as possible to draw

smart drug dealer looks like you or me or anybody else walking down the street. He wants to do as little as possible to draw attention to himself.” — Rick Graham.

Graham spots what appears to be a drug deal taking place downtown along Franklin Street. A man in a car has just pulled up and handed some cash to another man standing on the side of the street. “Loan me some of that big money you’ve got in your pocket,” Graham yells to the man on the street.” “You can have all these ones,” says the man who, looking slightly shaken, obviously knows he’s dealing with a cop. He pulls a small roll of one dollar bills out of his left pocket. “Naw, I wanna see the money you got in your right pocket,” Graham yells. “Loan me all that big money.” “1 ain’t got no big money,” the man answers nervously. “Yeah," Graham says. “Y’all find some where else to do your deal, man.” The man nods, pockets his money and quickly retreats down the street. Despite their sometimes brazen tactics, however, most drug dealers aren’t stupid. Graham will be the first to admit that although, he adds, ‘anyone who gets involved in that stuff can’t be too smart to begin with." The fact remains that if drug dealers were stupid, there would be more of them behind bars. “You don't ever want to sell [a dealer] short or think he’s stupid or that you’re smarter than he is.” Or better equipped. Graham says that while police officers are running surveillance on major dealers — checking their back grounds, associates, hometowns, etc. — the dealers are checking on the police. “We’ve arrested people and their electronic equip ment is better than what we’ve got. I mean, they’ve got more money to spend on it than we do.” As important as the drug problem is to Graham, however, his family still comes first. His daughter, he says, is “the apple of my ®Ye-' What little free time is left after 50-hour-plus work weeks is spent with his family. To enjoy that time Graham has to divorce himself from his work. With his life on the line, it’s not that easy. My little girl will ask me sometimes if I’m going to be home for dinner that night, and 1 always tell her I hope so. But there are times that 1 think this might be the night I don’t come home.” "lou wouldn’t guess it from looking at him, but Graham was once Bingo the Clown.

OMMITTED TO JUSTICE'

POLTERGEIST III. A third helping of special effects and a new crop of geists. Rated PG-13.

POP

RAMBO 3 Sylvester Stallone is back to kill bad guys with machine guns, muscle and a minimum of dialogue. Rated R. RED HEAT. Red Heat is just like this author/director’s prior buddy movie, 48 Hours. This time Jim Belushi plays the Eddie Murphy part while Arnold Schwarznegger muscles out Nick Nolte for the he-man role. A muscle-bound Russian cop teams up with a beer-bellied Chicago flatfoot to clean up some drug dealers. You know what to expect and that’s exactly what you get: lots of action, lots of laughs, a little skin and a dumb plot. THE IPRESIDIO. Sean Connery and Mark harmon are both disapointing in this action thriller about a murder on a military base and the resulting investigation. Connery is a military officer, Harmon a detective. They don’t like one another, which further compli cates matters when Connery’s daughter (Meg Ryan) falls for the flatfoot. Ridiculous dia logue and gaping plot holes ruin director/ photographer Peter Hyams’ impressive feel for visuals. Rated R. WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT? Bob Hoskins (Mona Lisa) in a detective comedy featuring innovative animation.

"Ar Absolutely awful. Avoid at all costs. ☆ Pretty bad, though not truly horrible. Average. Not too bad, not too good. ☆ Above average. Highly recommended. Excellent. Not to be missed. Films without stars have not yet been reviewed. Calendar compiled by Deirdre Quinn and Laura Maggio. Movie capsules compiled by Pat McLeod.

H(W7 SHOWIH® ABOVE THE LAW A real surprise! As a former CIA agent with a background in the martial arts, Steven Seagal is a bad guy’s worst nightmare come true. He’s a mean, lean fighting machine who makes Sly and the two Chucks (Norris and Bronson) look like wimps. The story is predictably paranoid and occasionally ridicu lous, but the action sequences are riveting and the direction crisp and gritty, with the look and feel of Robocop. Seagal us a compelling presence. Rated R. BEETLEJUICE ***. Silly, juvenile and preposterous, Beetlejuice is also imagina tive and a lot of fun. Tim Burton, the director of Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure, brings the same lunatic charm to this tale of a ghostly couple (Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis) who are haunted by an obnoxious live family who won’t leave the harmless spooks alone. When the desperate dead invoke the aid of Bee tlejuice (Michael Keaton), a self-styled exor cist of the living, things really start to go bump in the night. Kids, as well as adults, will love Keaton’s irreverent humor. Rated PG-13. BIG.****- Tom Hanks is funny in a big way in this body swapping story about a little boy’s wish to be ... not small. Rated PG. BIG BUSINESS. Bette Midler and Lily Tomlin bring new meaning to "The Terrible Twos” as mismatched twins in this baby swapping comedy. Rated PG. BILOXI BLUES ***• A self-indul gent memory of basic training in the waning days of World War II, Neil Simons play does not transfer to film all that well. The humor is too scattered, and the self-importance a bit too blatant. Matthew Broderick is fine as private Eugene Jerome, and Chnsropher Walken is quirky as his nemesis, the drill instructor. Director Mike Nichols, however, . krino enough life to the script to more

- t^d predicaments and conflicts. Rated PGB PG-13. BULL DURHAM, see review by Pat McLeod on page 12. COLORS **★*• A gritty, unsentimen-

*n Lmosdv8to the performances of Sean Penn and Xberi: Duvall and the direcnon of

Jared Rush ton and Tom Hanks discuss thier age difference in Big. Dennis Hopper. Penn’s a cocky rookie who wants to crack heads while Duvall’s a sea soned pro who wants to save lives. Most of the time, however, they simply try to stay alive themselves. Colors is violent and un flinching, a disturbing look at a festering urban sore. Rated R. (COMING TO AMERICA. Eddie Murphy as Prince Akeem from the mythical kingdom of Zamunda, in search of a bride with Arsenic Hall as his royal sidekick.

(CROCODILE DUNDEE,Z.***-i/2. The sequel to Crocodile Dundee is just what you probably expected. The plot is predict able, the jokes are familiar, but Paul Hogan is back as the irrepressible man from down under. That alone is worth the price of admission. Like the first film, Hogan makes everything work. He’s a good bloke indeed. Rated PG.

FRIDAY THE 13th, BART 7. Jason Vorhees returns to wreak havoc on hapless teens. You know what to expect. Rated R. FUNNY FARM . Chevy Chase meets mayhem down on the farm. Rated PG. THE GREAT OUTDOORS. Dan Aykroyd and John Candy commune comedically with nature — and each other. Rated PG.

MOONSTRUCK **★*. Moonstruck is an absolute joy: a funny, touching film about the vagaries of love as they befall an Italian-American family in Brooklyn. The ensemble cast, headlined by Cher and Nico las Cage, are all marvelous and the script is witty and engaging. Moonstruck has the warmth of Steve Martin’s Roxanne and the complex comic relationships of a Woody Allen movie. Ultimately, it’s about family and how, when it comes to love, there are no favorites. Rated PG.

WILLOW ***l/2. It’s not Star Wars, but Willow is worth seeing. A good cast enlivens a familiar story about fairies and trolls, little people and giants, a good sorceress and an evil queen. Ron Howard’s direction of George Lucas’s story keeps the action rolling without foregoing occasional humor and sentiment. Kids will like the movie more than adults, but that’s usually the way with fairy tales. Rated PG.

PLAY BALL Bull Durham Scores But It’s Not in the Majors

ATOmONS

By Par McLeod

A here have been two distinctly differ ent marketing strategies for publicizing Bull Durham. The first features a fiill-page closeup of an unshaven Kevin Costner, looking decidedly intense and sexy. This picture can be found mostly in women’s magazines such as Cosmopolitan or Red' hook. In the second advertising ploy, Kevin Costner looks the same, but this time he has a beer in one hand, a baseball bat in the other and Susan Sarandon on his lap. He's a man’s man, ready for the good times wherever, whenever and how ever. This is the kind of notice you’ll find in magazines such as Esquire or Sports Illustrated. Like the movie itself, the advertising campaign has been slightly schizophrenic. It’s as though the scriptwriter, director and distributor were all unclear whether they had a romantic comedy on their hands or just another sports movie in which boys will be boys and the girls will love them for it. This film is about ball games and sex games, and it’s very funny at times and very erotic at others. In the end, however, Bull Durham doesn’t make much of a contrast between the goals and purposes of the two physical contests. The major difference seems to be the number of players involved at one time. The calisthenics in Bull Durham center around Annie Savoy (Susan Sarandon), a goodhearted kook who embraces base ball like a religion. Her current sect is the Durham Bulls, a minor league club from whose ranks she picks the most promising player every year to bless with her favors and train vzith her special expertise. This year’s choice acolyte for Annie’s special veneration is a young homy pitcher named Ebby Calvin LaLoosh (Tim Rob bins), who’s endowed with a miraculous fastball and an insatiable appetite for minor league groupies. He’s got a brand new Porsche, but absolutely no control —on the mound or in the bedroom. Under Annie’s steady tutelage, however, he begins to develop a taste for bondage, Walt Whitman and garters. In just about that order. However, it’s up to Crash Davis (Kevin Costner) to teach the young bull how to handle his stuff on the ball field. That’s the reason Crash is brought onto the team after a 12-year odyssey through the minor leagues. Though Crash had three weeks as a catcher in the majors once upon a time, he’s no big leaguer and he recognizes the sad truth. Such wisdom makes it nonetheless no easier to cope with some-

one like the randy youngster, immensely talented but enormously dumb, for whom he has to catch balls and with whom he has to compete for the favors of luscious Annie. Susan Sarandon is marvelous in Bull Durham, utterly convincing and hilarious as a breathless devotee of baseball lore, modern poetry, world religions and wellconditioned bodies. She worships America’s pastime with a passion suited to her considerable needs. When her young pitcher goes on a diet of sexual abstinence contingent with the team's unusual winning streak, she has recourse to the more experienced catcher who nevertheless turns her down as well. Exasperated with the quirky turns of fortune, she sums up the season succinctly and to the point: “The Bulls can’t lose, and I can’t get laid.” As an off-beat love story, Bull Durham is just another twist on the eternal trian gle. Annie exercises with LaLoosh, but the man she’s made and mad for is really Crash. On-screen, her sexual shenanigans with the obliging pitcher are funny; when she gets down to business with the more serious catcher, however, the temperature starts to rise and the screen to smoke. Kevin Costner is very good in Bull Durham, but his character is never really defined. Crash is experienced with base ball and women and he’s got a good sense of humor, but when it comes to getting his priorities straight he finally seems not a whole lot wiser, only a little more subtle, than his younger counterpart. It’s as though he realizes there is some analogy between the game of baseball and the game of life, but he’s still not sure of the score. Tim Robbins is a real kick as the young stud with the blazing fastball and the eager hormones. He gets to the top despite his dearth of native intelligence. Talent he’s got, as well as the savvy of the natural athlete. For his purposes and goals, that’s all he needs to succeed. In her motion picture debut, Jenny Robertson is particularly wonderful as the Bulls’ most energetic and nubile sup porter. Although she’s rounded base with just about everyone on the team, it’s the evangelical and virginal Jimmy, a pitcher who’s more ready with a Bible than a slider, who wins her heart. Bull Durham is fun, but it’s not in the major leagues. Infinitely better that The Slugger's Wife, it’s still out of the range of The Natural.

HAPPENING RED SKELTON t Big Brother to World’s Funny Bones, Conscience By Judy Erwin

Pantomimist, painter, composer or clown: whatever you call him, Red Skel ton is a Renaissance man and he’s coming to the Civic Auditorium, July 9 at 7:30 p.m. In a two-hour 15-minute one-man per formance, backed by a 20-piece orchestra, Skelton will perform for the benefit of the Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Greater Jacksonville, Inc., in cooperation with the FCCJ Artist Series. The beloved show business legend will bring to life such memorable skits as the strong-man fishing on ice and slow-motion tennis. According to David Edwards of the Big Brothers organization, Skelton will buy his props and gather local flavor for his show after he arrives here. “It really shocks people when rhey learn how on top of it he really is,” Edwards said. Skelton will celebrate his 75th birthday just days after his Jacksonville perform ance, but that in no way hampers his performance, says Edwards. “Everybody I’ve talked to that has seen his show says it’s the best show they’ve ever seen. He’s a trouper. He puts everything into it. In fact, he puts so much into it that after the show, he has to go backstage to his dressing room and lie down for about 20 or 30 minutes.” Those who were watching TV between 1951 and 1971 will remember Skelton’s characterizations: seagulls Gertrude and Heathcliff, boxer Cauliflower McPugg and the lovable clown Freddie the Freeloader. His TV show’s 20-year record has yet to be broken. Bom two months after the death of his father (a circus clown), Skelton began working in medicine shows at the age of 10. During his life he has worked in every form of show business from minstrels to movies, missing only the legitimate Broad way theatre and Grand Opera.

What makes the respected performer unique is the diversity of his talents. As a writer, he has written 4,000 short stories, several full-length books, story coloring books for children and screen plays.. As a composer, he has written nearly 5,000 musical selections including 64 sym phonies and all the music used in many of his performances. As a painter and artist, his paintings of clowns garner six figure prices at auction, while his pastel drawings on linen sell for $17,000 to $55,000. If writing, composing, painting and performing don’t fill his time, Skelton works in gardening, with bonsai trees his specialty. Also on his list of interests is automo biles. He owns seven Rolls Royces. Not bad for a poor boy who made good! However, foremost in Skelton’s resume are the impressive honors he has received resulting not only from his phenomenal talent but also his humanitarianism and patriotism. His special interpretation of the Pledge of Allegiance has won 42 awards and been read into the Congressional Record. Honored by some of the most prestig ious entertainment institutions, including The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, The Screen Actors Guild, and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, Skelton has performed for eight U.S. Presidents and been granted audiences with three Popes. Because of his interest in mankind, Skelton is the ideal choice to represent the Big Brothers effort, says Edwards. Skel ton’s attitude is exemplified by his state ment, “God’s children and their happi ness are my reasons for being.” Tickets for the performances are avail able through the FCCJ Artist Series at 632-3373, the Civic Auditorium and all Ticket Master Outlets. Prices arc $45, $35, $25 and $15.0

WAX WORK Details Dominate in Novel Medium By Anne Leighcon JL he current featured artist at Mandarin’s Artists’ Gallery is Jack McNeil. In keeping with this gallery’s offerings of “something for every taste” credo, the works presented are novel, and show obvious indications of talent. The cate gory of “novel” is aptly deserved as this artist’s medium is melted Crayola crayons. Painting as “J. Mac,” he produces wax paintings which are workmanlike, if less than inspiring. The connoisseur of tech nique will find much to savor here, given the difficulty of the medium. McNeil’s strengths are in his handling of texture and perspective, and his feel for color. Sadly though, the moments of near-inspirational vividness are unaccom panied by a sense of emotion. And lacking this vital component, the works fall short of promise. They are like a beautiful woman without brains. A. compensating feature is McNeil’s exactitude — that perfection of line usually associated with the illustrator. “Mallards,” a wonderful depiction of geese in mid flight, is so realistic as to approximate the detailing of photography. His “Jugs,” a still-life of vari-shaped jars is a rather superb study in form and perspective. “Macaw” is the stellar piece, showcasing McNeil’s commanding draftsmanship and

flair for color. Champion in the detail department are “Cheeta,” “Carousel Horse” and “Blue Heron.” Non-champion but humorous is “Oriental,” which is decorative and whim sical, with its echoes of a “Celestial Seasonings” tea label. “Grecian Lady” and “Cleo” are notable for their engaging gaudiness, and are true entrants in the contest for camp. The latter is quite amusing to view, and summons nostalgia, being redolent of the Golden Age of the Movie Palace, stylistically in keeping with Graumann’s Theater in Los Angeles. McNeil’s method of painting, while unique on the contemporary art scene, has its true origins in antiquity. Encaustic painting, where colors are suspended in molten wax, reached its artistic zenith in the 1st to 4th centuries in Ancient Egypt. Beautifully poignant portraits adorning mummy cases in Roman Egypt were executed in a very naturalistic, detailed style. While McNeil’s choice of subject matter may be uneven, his talent and eye are praiseworthy. Moreover, much is owed him for reviving a centuries-neglected technique. The exhibition runs until July 15th. Call 262-1977 for information.

REIN SANCTION Rock ’n’Roll Trio Is Polished, Not Slick By Arvid Smith

The basic power trio is the mainstay

of rock ’o' roll. Within its seemingly limited format (guiter, bass, drums) there exists a universe of musical possibilities. High points in the development of the trio format have blessed us with top 40 pop (The Mindbenders), hard-edged artiness (Rush/Triurnph) and excess (Blue Cheer/ Grand Funk). It is also worth noting that the perspective of rock ’n’ roll, for many listeners, exists as either before of after Jimi Hendrix and Cream. Both of. these trio acts not only re-invented how to play the electric guitar but also redefined what pop music could be. Rein Sanction is like any other trio only more so. Onstage its influences are evident in that the music is constructed around the guitar’s role. Mark Gentry’s nod. to the psychedelic past is homage not only to that era’s multi-amp feedback but to the freedom of the lead guitarist to soar from Nashville to Damascus within a 25-second solo. Indeed, the group’s stage presence is such that attention is directed to t* ‘ ‘ the music. This has always been rhe everyone has to keep . .case with trios, as...... . ¥ ...................... cranking on his instrument to fill out the sound and the absence of a hip-wiggling frontman often makes vocal chores just that. As principal singer/songwriter, Gentry pens subjective thoughts with no apologies to anyone for getting too personal. This attitude extends to the way he sings in general. His vocal delivery varies in the same fashion as his guitar solos: similar but never the same. If this sounds loose in the negative sense it is because it the showbiz “night after night” ethic chat demands the performer go with the slickest, most repeatable product. Rein Sanction is never slick but it is polished. In part due to the interplay of drummer Brannon Gentry (Mark’s brother) and bassist John Ackennan, the songs contrast dark and moody lyrics with a pulse quick enough to keep the spontane ity of Gentry’s performing style interest ing. Rein Sanction is disciplined in its freedom. Performing live, the emphasis is on a full sound with little or no dynamics between the start and finish. Like most

bands that play original music, the only cover tunes present are the ones its members enjoy. So look for the likes of Led Zep’s “Communication Breakdown” and the Eddie Cochran/Blue Cheer ever green “Summertime Blues" rucked in among their own songs. Don’t look for social commentary, politics or earthier-thanthou agression. Rein Sanction make a joyful noise within their bare bones and open chords.

erforming live, the emphasis is on a

full sound with little or no dynamics

between the start and finish. Recent shows at Metropolis, Einstein-aGo-Go and Campus Corner have spawned a devoted following which, in turn, has cemented their idea of nor expanding their lineup. Now or never. “We can’t see adding anyone else, . ever,” says Ackerman. "We’ll stay a trio all the way,” adds singer Gentry. Does “all the way" denote a drive for raving commercial success? In so many words the members of Rein Sanction sum up the situation by stating that it will be the audience who will have: to come to 'them. n —-i- -a year old, u n.,_ Barely Rein Sanction is seeing this start to happen. Rein Sanction will play July 23 at Metropolis. Information, 355-6410. O

frequent question asked me. The response is more positive than it once was. Juanita’s at Jacksonville Beach is striving to improve a tarnished reputation. Campeche Bay Cantina on Atlantic Boulevard near Re gency has lasted significantly longer than I expected. The most visible hispanic eatery by fat !s Cuco’s at The Jacksonville Landing. Cucos has another location in Orange Park. Because of its presence as a focal point in this establishment to which I million people have been attracted so r >1~'UCO undoubtably the best known of the area’s preparers of Mexican fare. . Wit,‘ onc, of the prime Landing locaUons, Cuco’s is a very interesting spot to dine. Views of all that is happening at The Landing, as well as on the river make time spent here most enjoyable. Outside dining is available, and glass doors allow an open air effect on the floor of the dining room. This feature is an asset during cooler months, however a recent noon visit was adversly affected by the hor humid air billowing in through an open door. Crea tion of a Juarez-type environment is not necessary to fully appreciate Mexican food. Information and impressions shared in this review were the result of two separate encounters. One visit was as a member of a group for dinner. The subsequent trip was made singularly dur ing lunch. Menu choices are essentially the same for both meals, though a lunch eon specials sheet features smaller, quicker portions at reduced prices. The seating process at Cuco’s is typical of this type of generic restaurant. One waits at the door until the host returns from seating the last charge, which result in a longish wait. A menu bearing neonlike impressions of cacti and cowboy boots begins with a listing of 3.3 features that make Cuco’s different, including every thing from real sour cream to edible salad shells. Following that are extensive choices for beverages. Margaritas, of course, take top billing here, from Cuco’s original frozen variety to one made with Cuervo Gold tequila and a side shot of Grand Marnier. Several other frozen libations and even five non-alcoholic alternatives are also available. As is typically the case, several appetiz ers are offered. Nachos ($2.95-$4) come in a variety of styles from just cheese to beef and chicken. Guacamole ($4.95) is served, as are Chili Con Queso ($4.95), a Mexican Pizza ($6.30) and sluffed green chilies ($4.55). Entree selections are listed on five pages and defy restating here. It will suffice to say that all the Tex-Mex standbys —tacos, enchiladas, tamalies and chim ichangas — are available with every com ination of chicken, beef, cheese, tomato and sauce imaginable. Severa combina tion plates are also available, allowing the hungry patron to enjoy severa preparationsat one sitting Four variations of salad fixings are offered in fried flour tortilla shells. Featuring sliced black beans, taco meat or avocados, each variation is priced at $5.25. J ^^Tr^ne'^Ar M ($15.95).

stuffed with a blend of cheeses, breaded and fried are identified as a celebrated specialty. They, too, were truly delicious. Had the meal continued in this manner, I would have a response to the next interrogation about the local Mexican scene. Unfortunately, when it comes to entrees, Cuco’s drops the proverbial hot tamale. Chicken chimichanga’s weregreasy — the flavor of the fryer overpowered the essence of the fowl. Another “polio” selection, polio caliente, Cuco’s version of blackened chicken, was wonderfully described. Marinated in orange, lemon, and lime juices before being “smothered with nine spices,” this breast should have been crowing with flavor. Unfortunately, the marinade had no impact and the spices’ effect was marginal, producing a tasteless rendition of what read like a sure winner. Enchiladas de Cameron, shrimp and lobster bisque-filled flour tortillas, the delicacy of the bisque lost in a sea of melted cheese. The entrees were redeemed by the presence of much heralded “gour met black beans.’’ A welcome relief from refried kidney beans, these beans, topped with scallions and jack cheese, were de lightful. Cuco’s is a great place from which to enjoy all sorts of riverfront activities. Nibble on any one of several great appetiz ers have a side order of those gourmet black beans and wash them down with your favorite form of Margarita and you can’t go wrong.

Her Face and Fingers Talk So Eyes Can Hear By Margaret: Clark

rh?^1'^38^5 VeJY d!fficult ” SaYS the P«ite smile

with

’ White'blonde hair »d warm, bright

Its a combination of facial expression, gestures and mime. You have to hear an English word and pull off a sign comparable to that word ... then send the message to your hands. You just have a split second. One sign can mean a lot of things. It’s conceptual.” The deaf parishoners don’t take their eyes off her as she turns her head from left to right. Her face is like a quick change artist, running the gamut of feelings with lightning speed. Happiness, anger, surprise, disgust, delight — whatever the emotion she must portray — is easily recognizable. And when her natural ability to emote is underscored with finger signals and hand-to-body clues, the translation comes through strong and clear without a sound. As an interpreter she seems indefatigable. The Atlantic Beach resident concentrates with great intensity as she rushes to keep up with the priest’s delivery of the sermon or the choir’s selection of songs. However, when she gets through with an hour-and-a-half of standing on her feet, vigorously interpreting, she is often exhausted. But don’t expect to hear her complain. She says she likes the challenge. “It’s wonderful. You’ve shaken my tree when you talk about deaf culture. Usually I’m quiet and let the other person talk. Oh, I’m an enthusiastic and interested person, but I can really get going on this. There is so much I could tell you. So much to learn. This is just the tip of the iceberg.” Althought Newfang does not have a hearing problem, she developed a deep desire to learn sign language 25 years ago after reading about Helen Keller. “Nobody in my family was deaf,” says the mother of three, “I didn’t know any deaf people. It was a spiritual driven-ncss. Something special. God put an interest in my heart, but I didn’t know why at the time.” It was only seven years ago that she found a teacher, Yvonne Otwell, who signs for the deaf during church services at the Arlington Baptist Church in Jacksonville. “Mary is a real sweet lady,” said Otwell. “She has given of herself so much in working with the deaf. Even in the beginning she was not reluctant to try.” In those days the newly-trained interpreter was devoting most of her time to learning the signing skills, but she still did not have a specific plan in mind. After being taught the basics, she had yet to communicate with a deaf person. “I didn’t know anyone,” she recalls. “I kept saying that I wish I knew a deaf person who would help me learn. Finally, she met Polly Stith who, much to her surprise, lives in her neighborhood. “She was the first deaf person who taught me and she became one of my dearest friends.” The memories are still fresh when she recalls her first attempt to interpret the church service for the deaf. She credits Sister Rita, a Catholic nun, with giving her the confidence to try it. A program for rhe deaf was being initiated by Bishop John Snyder of St. Augustine. “When Sister Rita first askedme’ 1 didn’t think I could stand up in front of all those peopl . Perseverance and a strong desire kept her going, even after Perseverance ano a ..j ca)1 mind she

Also, she gets a chance to assist deaf people when they occasionally come into the office where she works as a medical, assistant for Dr. Don Anderson. medical

“Deaf patients will sometimes come in with distressed looks on their faces. They get so excited when they find out I can sign. Can you imagine going to a doctor and not knowing what he is saying to you?” As if this isn’t enough, she also helps her deaf friends. “I love it. 1 get up in the morning like I’m shot out of a pistol and I don’t stop until 1 get home. I find it all so interesting.” One of her favorite stories is about a little girl who has been deaf since birth. When she first started coming to church she was too shy to even look up and see what was taking place. After awhile she started copying some of the signs. However, when the child was sent to the Florida School for the Deaf and Blind in St. Augustine, she was reluctant to participate. “They were just about to give up on her,” says Newfang. Then one day they noticed she was sitting in a corner, pretending to be in church. She was signing words such as God, Jesus, Alleluia and others she had seen Mary Newfang sign in church. “That’s when they realized she could learn.” When Newfang tells this story, she clutches her chest and* ' says with conviction, “I felt like a candle had been lit somewhere in my heart. My life is full of these little miracles.” In her determination to spread the word about deaf culture, she makes it clear that learning to communicate with the deaf has been very rewarding for her. deat friends friend, have h “"Mv My deaf given me as much them.
