Shooting Up I am sorry to say that Substance Abuse Programs are in the budget cut, too. The lawmakers are shooting themselves in the foot. Perhaps I am wrongâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;they can afford the Private rehab institution like the Betty Ford Center.

The poor taxpayers are and have been in all kinds of pains for too long; we are numb.

Heidi at SanJose.com

Driving Force Nice spread on the Limos (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Flash Drive,â&#x20AC;? Music, July 22). Great to see them get their due as an emerging act on the alt-music scene. Awesome to see all the great things happen with San Jose and music. Cheers!

Druggies You mean we actually have enough money to drug test these folks but deny the disabled/blind in home care, cut the CalWORKS Program and cut down payments to the disabled and elderly because the state is claiming it is broke? (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mandatory Drug Tests for California Lawmakers?,â&#x20AC;? The

Fly, July 22.) Amazing how we can pay legislators a salary when they are late on the budget, give them cars, trips, meals, etc., on us, but taxpayers can go to hell.

All Wet One question: When a nightclub goes out of business

Â&#x2DC;

gby;!519/3:9/1713

in San Jose, why does the city approve a use permit for another one to open in the same location? (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Club Wetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Permit Pulled,â&#x20AC;? The Fly, July 15.) It would seem to me that if the city was serious about ridding downtown of â&#x20AC;&#x153;meganightclubsâ&#x20AC;? that a use permit would not be issued. . . .

Tom Colla San Jose

Thank you for your article â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tourists Pay to Playâ&#x20AC;? (MetroNews, July 15) regarding the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wish to close California State Parks.

I would like to thank Metro for breaking the general media silence on the studies showing that revenue generated by state parks exceeds expenditure on the parks.

Deborah Benham Mountain View

Masked Motives As a member of the Church of Scientology, this was an interesting article to me (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Virtual Political Theater,â&#x20AC;? The Fly, July 15). I appreciate the freedom of speech that we experience here in the United States. Citizens of many other countries are not so fortunate, as we have seen in recent headlines.

Here in the United States, even if you belong to a hate group such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anonymousâ&#x20AC;? (well known for attacking people based on the color of their skin, religion or disabilities), you have the right to express your opinion in a public location. I wonder, thoughâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;why do these individuals wear masks to hide their identities? Are they ashamed of what they are saying, since it is not based on ďŹ rsthand knowledge of our church which provides literacy programs, drug rehabilitation and many other community services?

Stephani Lewis San Jose

J!Tbxzpv Cautious Jogger Regarding the last I Saw You, for the life of me I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand why people choose to jog on a busy, one-lane street or any other busy street. What? Did you take it literally when your scabrous uncle said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Go play on the freeway, kidâ&#x20AC;?? I mean, I am all for getting in shape and exercising, but, really, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s look at the underlying issues here. First, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be breathing in a lot of exhaust fumes jogging on a busy street. Isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there a school with a track nearby?

No, this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t about getting in shape, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not about your pedestrian rightsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a â&#x20AC;&#x153;notice meâ&#x20AC;? moment in time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Look at me, you slothful drivers! Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t I look good with the sweat and all. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m exercising and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not!â&#x20AC;? You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get in shape by running in place at an intersection. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tip for a little extra income while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re jogging on a busy streetâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;advertise something! Make a few bucks while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re running around town! Otherwise, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just another narcissistic buffoon who craves attention for no other reason than to feed your limp ego.

Laureate of Lowlife

L

EONARD COHEN once said of the great poet Federico García Lorca: “He was the first poet who really touched me. . . . The universe he revealed and the lands he inhabited seemed very familiar. I think that’s what you look for when you read poetry; you look for someone to illuminate a landscape that you thought you alone walked on.”

Such was also the case when Charles Bukowski—everyone’s favorite boozing laureate of lowlife—first discovered John Fante, who wrote about the dive bars, the cheap hotels, the 15-cent diners and the pawnshops of old Los Angeles. Since Fante’s oeuvre illuminates the underbelly of ’30s Los Angeles in much the same way that someone like James Joyce brings to life the locality of Dublin, Ireland, I just had to escape last weekend and ride along with the Esotouric tour company’s “John Fante: Dreams of Bunker Hill” bus tour of that long-gone neighborhood, following in the footsteps of Fante himself—the godfather of literary Los Angeles.

So there we were: skid row, downtown L.A., specifically the corner of Fifth and Los Angeles streets. As the tour bus rolled up to the side of King Eddy’s Saloon, a drunk wandered by and urinated on the side of the building, directly in front of us—in broad daylight. Tour guide Richard Schave instructed us to at least wait until the guy was finished before we got off the bus, so we did.

Eddy’s is the place in John Fante’s book Ask the Dust where his alter ego, Arturo Bandini, goes to squander his first royalty check on the B-girls. Today, the dive is infamous and people show up all the time inquiring about Fante and even Bukowski, who also apparently got hammered at the joint. The bar was even featured on the History Channel’s Cities of the Underworld program, with Schave himself hosting the sequence.

Bunker Hill was once a wealthy community of Victorian mansions and hilly estates where the affluent lived and played—one of the grandest districts in all of L.A., circa 1890.

But during the first few decades of the 20th century, landlords slowly began to subdivide the houses, and the area continued to degenerate during the post-Depression era, which is when Fante showed up.

Once the late ’50s came around, Bunker Hill had become a carbuncle on downtown, so the largest eminent-domain seizure in U.S. history began to take place when the Redevelopment Agency of downtown L.A. swiped the land from its 9,000 residents and subsequently spent five years destroying it all. Now, it is populated mostly by skyscrapers.

Fante’s fiction accurately describes what this neighborhood used to look like before the “federal bulldozers” rolled in.

Eddy’s is the place in A wide variety of folks attended John Fante’s book ‘Ask the bus tour, including Fante fans, aspiring writers and even people who the Dust’ where his alter grew up on Bunker Hill in the ’50s but ego, Arturo Bandini, hadn’t explored it recently. Present goes to squander his on the tour were Fante’s son Dan and first royalty check on daughter Vickie, both of whom told poignant stories. Dan is an established the B-girls novelist, playwright and poet in his own right, with several confessionalfrom-the-gutter books translated into several languages. He also has a tattoo on his right forearm, dedicated to his late brother, Nick, which says, simply: NICK FANTE. DEAD FROM ALCOHOL, 1-31-42 TO 2-21-97.

The bus journey also took us by several former sites of interesting Bunker Hill buildings that are now empty parking lots (much like downtown San Jose), with Schave explaining how classic public spaces in downtown L.A. are constantly being destroyed by the Redevelopment Agency in favor of hideous projects that just don’t work, like Pershing Square, and that the tour was equally about the preservation of public spaces in general, with Fante’s characters leading the way. Yeah!

Schave himself spent a few years at UC–Santa Cruz, where he studied with famed British architecture critic Reyner Banham. According to Schave, Banham often took him on impromptu drives through industrial wasteland neighborhoods right here in San Jose, which inspired him to create his own tours down south.

Geez. I thought I was the only one.

Yes, Burton confirmed, Twitter is blocked on White House computers for legal reasons. The Obama administration is looking for a way to get around that restriction. But some specific people on the administration’s new media team are allowed to tweet officially.

According to Burton, the twitter.com/whitehouse feed, created shortly after President Obama’s inauguration and launched in May, is updated by Macon Phillips, director of new media, and online programs director Jesse Lee. President Obama’s campaign feed, twitter.com/barackobama, which issued hundreds of updates in the months running up to the election, went silent following the election but is now live again. It is tweeted separately by members of the Democratic National Committee at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. —PAUL BOUTIN, VENTUREBEAT.COM

chancellor should be doing more to advocate for the CSU in the face of the devastating budget crisis.

“This vote has been an extremely painful exercise,” Travis said at a press conference last Friday morning. “The choices were frankly awful. Many of the faculty are angry about voting ‘yes’ under these conditions.

“Nevertheless, when it came time to vote on whether to accept a furlough, they voted for the students and their colleagues.”

In that same vote, 80 percent of CSU faculty said they had no confidence in the leadership of the CSU system or Reed himself.

Liz Cara, president of the SJSU chapter of the California Faculty Association and a professor of occupational therapy, agrees.

“They just seem to acquiesce,” Cara says, “like, ‘Oh, we can cut more, we can cut more, we can cut more,’ when we really don’t feel like we can because we have been cut so much since 2002.”

Cuts Hit Home

Second-Class Students

San Jose State will be struggling with a $41 million shortfall in the coming year, along with absorbing a disproportionately large share of the systemwide enrollment cuts.

Because the university has been exceeding its 2.5 percent growth enrollment target for several years, SJSU will now have to decrease enrollment by 2,500 fewer students, most of whom would have been incoming freshman. There will also be more students in each class, and fewer instructors.

Though Reed has said on many occasions that maintaining the quality of education provided by the CSU system is a top priority, many CSU faculty and staff members see a significant downturn in service provided to students in the 2009/2010 academic year.

“I know the Chancellor likes to throw out there that we are really maintaining our high quality, but I

San Jose State endures brunt of state’s budget cuts

By Jessica Fromm HE FACT that every eligible resident can attend a state university, long a source of pride in California, will soon be a distant memory as a result of massive state budget cuts. As the fall 2009 CSU semester approaches, thousands of college students will return to campus to find fewer instructors, slashed classes, empty dorms and diminished services.

Some will be denied university admission altogether.

In a teleconference two weeks ago, California State University Chancellor Charles B. Reed said the 23 campuses of the CSU system will be experiencing an unprecedented

$584 million reduction in state funding. That number represents 20 percent of the CSU’s total income.

“I have never seen a massive reduction come so fast in the 40 years that I have been doing this business,” Reed said. “It is nothing short of a mega meltdown financially.”

Reed’s statements were a precursor to the official announcement last Friday that Sacramento is chopping $2 billion from the state’s higher education budget to help close a $26 billion budget gap.

The chancellor outlined a controversial plan that includes hiking undergraduate student fees

by $672, bringing the average cost of attending a CSU campus to $4,827 a year. This is the seventh fee increase students have seen in the last seven years.

The CSU system, which educates 450,000 students a year, will also be cutting enrollment by 40,000 in the next two years, and instituting systemwide bimonthly furloughs for its 47,000 employees.

The California Faculty Association voted on July 24 in favor of Reed’s purposed furloughs by a margin of 54 percent. Later, John Travis, chair of the CFA bargaining team and a professor of political science at Humboldt State University, said the

don’t think its possible anymore,” Cara says.

“I think a lot of high-quality students will be left out.

“It’s become less accessible essentially, and this is the university that educates the middle- and working-classes. So, they are really the people who are screwed, I think.

And, we also educate a large amount of minorities, so it’s also going to be very devastating for them.”

In the July 16 teleconference, Reed emphasized that all CSU campuses will be feeling the hurt, but that slashing campus budgets and upping costs is the only way for the CSU to remain functioning.

“Let me just say that this is going to be tough on everybody,” he said. “Everybody that is part of the California State University family is going to feel the pain; everybody is going to share in the pain.”

Many in the university system believe that with such massive budget cuts, the CSU’s money crisis has not gotten the amount of attention it deserves, from either state representatives or the media.

“I don’t know if anybody has really stood up and said that we deserve more,” says Pat Lopes Harris, director of media relations at SJSU. “But on the other hand, nobody has stood up and said that we deserve less. So, we’ve flown under the radar a bit.

“What I think is, the governor decided on the maximum pain he could inflict on us, and everybody agreed. And now, we’re living with it.”

Assemblyman Ira Ruskin says that with all state funding gutted, he worries how CSU’s severe enrollment reduction will impact the future of California’s workforce.

“It will become more and more competitive to get into a community college or state university, and that is a challenge we have to face,” Ruskin said in an interview minutes after California lawmakers signed off on the state budget deal last Friday evening. “We’ve had to make cuts across the board. We’ve had to be thoughtful about how we make the cuts, but we’ve had to make very significant cuts in all areas of higher education. It puts an enormous strain and stress on the CSU system.

“It will negatively affect the ability of the state of California to educate its young people. That will seriously affect the ability of the state to fill the jobs that need to be filled to meet the demands of the economy and to grow the economy.”

Poor Grades As a member of the State Committee on Higher Education, Ruskin says he hopes that a solution for the CSU’s budget problems will come in the review of California’s Master Plan for Higher Education this fall.

California’s Master Plan for Higher Education hasn’t been evaluated in more than a decade, and as co-chairman of the review, Ruskin says that it’s long overdue for some significant changes concerning priorities and the way state money is distributed.

“One of the most important aspects of the

master plan that I want to review in a series of hearings will be on how California needs to recommit itself to the concept that every eligible person who wants a college education should be able to receive one in California.

There is a very serious situation on the matter of accessibility, and eligibility, and this has been exacerbated by the current worldwide recession.”

Dr. Lillian Taiz, president of the California Faculty Association, and history professor at Cal State Los Angeles, had stronger words for representatives in Sacramento during the CFA’s July 24 press conference.

‘This is the university that educates the middle and working classes. So, they are really the people who are screwed.’

Liz Cara, president of the SJSU chapter of the California Faculty Association “We have to make sure that every person in this state knows about their leaders in Sacramento and what they are doing to destroy the greatest university system in the nation,” Taiz said. “A whole generation of Californians will not have an opportunity that previous generations have had ... and I think every one of our faculty members along with students and staff should be standing shoulder to shoulder to ensure that we don’t go quietly into that good night.”

With the fall 2009 semester drawing near and SJSU’s first planned furlough day taking place on Aug. 10, San Jose State staff and faculty are bracing themselves for a year unlike any the University has ever faced.

“Everybody will see and feel the changes,” Harris says. “It will affect everybody, whether it’s in their paycheck or in the number of hours they spend in the classroom.”

Still, federal stimulus funds are expected to drop off after 2010, and many in the CSU system anticipate that the worst is yet to come.

“This is not a cut that we asked for or that we wanted, but it’s a cut that is coming,” Harris says. “And at this point, we need to work together and figure out how to deal with it because classes are beginning next month and we owe it to our students.”

Shakers N 1974, the population of San Jose was just over a half-million. Norman Mineta was mayor. Most of what’s now the far southern portion of the city didn’t exist yet. The buses cost a quarter for adults and 10 cents for kids.

Eastridge, a huge, trilevel shopping mall, had just opened a few years earlier.

And in 1974, before ESPN, before million-dollar sports contracts, before

cable TV and when landing a helicopter in Spartan Stadium was still legal—the San Jose Earthquakes of the North American Soccer League (NASL) played their inaugural season, becoming San Jose’s first professional sports franchise.

Those first few seasons saw sellout after sellout, and the team branded itself as a bunch of players who occupied exactly the same social level as their fans

and the community—all the way down to partying with everyone after each and every game.

This weekend, 35 years later, 10 of the original starting Earthquakes squad, as well as 30 other players and dozens of staff members from throughout the team’s 10-year run, will descend upon San Jose for a four-day reunion.

Some of the original Quakes still live in the area, while many others are flying in from across the country. There will be parties, a golf game, a highprofile gala dinner at the Fairmont on Saturday and a special ceremony during halftime of Sunday’s contest between the current incarnation of the Quakes and the Seattle Sounders.

The reunion is intended for any previous NASL Earthquakes and their fans, but the special emphasis is on that original squad from 1974. The entire reunion is the doing of one Mr. Ron Gilmore and his brother, Rob. The brothers were Branham High School Bruins who grew up with and worked as equipment kids for the team, and who now want to humbly give back to the heroes who inspired them during their youth.

As folks from across the land gathered their thoughts in preparation for the event, I picked a few of their brains on just what it was like for a group of players, many of whom were European, to arrive in a relatively unknown suburban bedroom community and suddenly launch what became the hugest thing in town, at least for a few years.

What I heard was a combination of oldschool sports camaraderie, a passion for the fans, a fond remembrance of being San Jose’s first pro team and some of the most cherished memories of certain peoples’ careers. Since this author spent some of his own childhood following these characters, yakking with them now feels like a local miniversion of The Boys of Summer.

Seismic Shift The NASL was the first premier soccer league of both the United States and

Canada. Beginning in 1968, the league went through many ups and downs before eventually folding after the 1984 season.

“The league collapsed. Every team was underwater,” recalls serial technology entrepreneur Michael D’Addio, who along with real estate developer Carl Berg and several other investors owned the Earthquakes in the early 1980s.

Under Berg and D’Addio, the Earthquakes invested in talent, and the team appeared certain to bring glory to Northern California at the Soccer Bowl in Vancouver, but Toronto pulled a lastminute semifinal upset in a 1983 game at Spartan Stadium. That season, the Quakes were undefeated at home until that match, and Don Popovic was named the coach of the year. “We had a lot of solid international players,” D’Addio said.

The international movement had gotten started in 1975, when Pelé, the Brazilian star, came out of retirement to join the New York Cosmos. As a result, every other team in the league tried to bring in its own superstar foreign players, and the league added expansion teams too quickly for its own good. Investors jumped on board to 18

EARTHQUAKES 17 make a quick buck with no regard for the future, and teams continued to purchase expensive players with no extra revenue coming in. Inevitably, as the early ’80s rolled around, the league began to circle the drain. Teams folded left and right.

The league didn’t last long, by any standards, but those who were there got to see some of the world’s greatest-ever players, including Pelé, Franz Beckenbauer, Johan Cruyff, Gerd Müller and especially George Best, who occasionally showed up in San Jose for two seasons.

‘I went to banquets for football, baseball, basketball, anything that he could get me—dinners, lunches, Kiwanis Clubs, everything to promote the game.

And that completely changed everything for me. I was used to just going to the games.That was something that was really strange to us— doing appearances, getting up in front of people.’

—Paul Child The San Jose Earthquakes began when Milan Mandaric—a Yugoslavian transplant to Saratoga and a local entrepreneur in the printed circuit-board business—decided to start a franchise in the Bay Area to fill the void left by the Oakland Clippers team, which had lasted only three years before folding. Mandaric hired Dick Berg away from the San Francisco 49ers to be his general manager. The two men insisted that the team locate in San Jose.

The league wanted the team to be in San

Francisco or Oakland, but Mandaric and Berg prevailed.

Scottish expat Johnny Moore, then 26, came on board as both a player and assistant general manager. “We started the club at the Hyatt Hotel on North First Street,” Moore recalled. “Dick and I, we went in, and we took two beds out of the room and put in two desks. And that was the start of the club.”

Berg, who had been the Niners’ promotions director, came up with a marketing plan to saturate the general public with player appearances and create an environment where all the fans could get to know the team personally. Each person the player met on the street, anywhere, was considered a potential new fan. It was guerrilla marketing before that term was even invented.

“My job from the first day was to take it to the streets, take it to the schools,” Moore recalled, “just try to expose as many people in the community to the club. And we started signing players, and every guy who was brought in—that was the way we were going to build it. All the guys agreed to it, and I think that was the reason for our success. We had a few months before the season started, and the guys were just everywhere, they were in shopping centers Friday night before the game juggling balls, they went to schools, and every day they went to see people in hospitals, Rotary Clubs and Kiwanis Clubs. That was just the deal.”

Birmingham, England, native Paul Child arrived by way of Atlanta to play center striker for the Earthquakes’ inaugural season at age 21. He was the NASL’s leading scorer that year and remained the team’s primary goal scorer for six seasons.

Now a U.S. Soccer Hall of Famer employed at Allegheny Millworks in Pittsburgh, Pa., Child, when recalling those days, he says he hadn’t experienced the concept of professional players going out into the general public to promote the game.

“Dick Berg, for six months straight, took me to every sporting event,” Child told me. “I went to banquets for football, baseball, basketball, anything that he could get me—dinners, lunches, Kiwanis Clubs, everything to promote the game. And that completely changed everything for me. I was used to just going to the games. That was something that was really strange to us—doing appearances, getting up in front of people.”

Fan favorite Mike Hewitt, the Quakes goalkeeper from 1976 to 1982, went on to work in the mortgage business for 25 years and now sets up shop in Phoenix, Ariz. Also originally from Scotland, Hewitt grew to enjoy the constant interaction with the fans.

“I think that’s what was part of the success of the NASL,” Hewitt said.

“Whether it was the soccer camps, or going to all these events that the players do to bring the name of the game to kids and such, after-game parties, and just being accessible and not being aloof and such. I think that’s what it takes.”

Another Birmingham native, Laurie Calloway, was a tough defender who came to the Quakes at age 28, after years of playing with lower-division English teams. Calloway became one of San Jose’s main disciples of the sport during the ’70s, constantly spreading the gospel of the game to locals.

“I would do a school appearance in the morning, then I’d go off to a Lion’s Club luncheon, and then I’d probably go on to a clinic with a youth team in the afternoon,” Calloway recalled. “And then perhaps some sort of an awards ceremony for a youth team, pizza parties in the evening, things like that. I’d sometimes make as many as four appearances in one day.”

Fred Guzman covered the team on a regular basis for the San Jose Mercury News and traveled with the squad to all the road games. In those days, it seemed like he was always on the front page of the sports section.

“The players may not have been world class in talent, but they bought into that marketing game plan and executed it to perfection,” Guzman said.

“It was almost like they were on a crusade for their sport. They conducted clinics all over the Bay Area; they signed autographs until they got writer’s cramp; they attended the post-game parties; they wore the sweat tops in public, which if it was any another place, players wouldn’t do that. They’d be wearing Armanis, you know?”

A major component of the fan interaction was the tailgate parties on the grass parking lot outside the stadium. The players always showed up. People sang songs, drank, barbecued and kicked soccer balls around.

EARTHQUAKES 21 “The tailgating was unbelievable,” said Mark Demling, the Quakes’ vocal defenseman. “I never had to buy a drink, and I never had to worry about eating anything after a game. We would go, and there would be a Mexican group, and you’d get a Dos Equis or a Tecate and you’d get tacos. And you’d go over a little bit more, and there’d be a German guy there, and he’d give you a Beck’s, and you’d get a bratwurst or something.”

‘My job from the first day was to take it to the streets, take it to the schools, just try to expose as many people in the community to the club. And we started signing players, and every guy who was brought in—that was the way we were going to build it. All the guys agreed to it, and I think that was the reason for our success.’

—Johnny Moore According to Demling, the Quakes players always hung out with each other in public, much more than teams do today.

For example, in 1977, when the hockey film Slap Shot premiered, 15 Earthquakes players went out and saw the film together, primarily because the team in the film reminded the Quakes of themselves.

“You just don’t see that in Major League Soccer today,” Demling said.

No-Fault Zone The timing of all of the above was perfect for a relatively unknown city with nothing but a vapid Dionne Warwick song to put it

on the map. In fact, some folks didn’t want San Jose to be on the map. The Earthquakes changed all of that rather quickly.

“San Jose had an inferiority complex to San Francisco,” Moore explained. “And suddenly San Jose was playing New York and Chicago on national TV. Suddenly, it was, ‘Whoa, this is San Jose.’ I think the fans in San Jose were ready for a professional sports franchise, and it just so happened that we were suddenly in their face every single day, and at schools every day, and suddenly kids wanted to see us, and then it just took off.”

Guzman agreed: “At that time, San Jose was a community in search of an identity.

The Silicon Valley mystique was only beginning to evolve. There were still some orchards along Blossom Hill Road. The lyrics to the song ‘Do You Know the Way to San Jose’—they alluded to a small-town feel, comparing itself to L.A. I remember downtown; a lot of it was boarded up at the time.”

For players coming from other parts of the world, to see fans in some town called San Jose suddenly taking to a team and a new sport was thrilling. Krazy George, everyone’s favorite snare-drum-bashing cheerleader, pretty much began his proteam rooting career with the San Jose Earthquakes.

For each match, the crowd would wait in anticipation to see how George would enter Spartan Stadium—whether it was on the back of a camel, landing in a helicopter, arriving in a police car or flying in a hang glider—antics completely unheard of in pro sports at that time.

“Some of the things in the show that they put on at the stadium was really rather unique for the time,” recalled Guzman. “That was considered a bush league—having all this loud garish music and Krazy George leading people in mass cheers. [Now] that’s all become part of the custom in professional sports, but, truly, it was rather unique then.”

The players had never seen anything like it. Paul Child had just spent two years playing for a dismal Atlanta club in the Fulton County Stadium in front of crowds of just a few thousand in a place that held 60,000, so he relished in the jam-packed, close-knit environs of Spartan Stadium.

“The atmosphere, Krazy George and a gorgeous city weatherwise, you couldn’t want any more,” Child recalled. “It’s kind of like a picture book thing. . . . It was a great feeling for that group of guys to come into a place and know that you’re the only professional team, and you knew when we went out there, the place was 19,000 [fans], packed solid every game we played. I can’t put it into words, I don’t know what it was.”

Even though the field at Spartan was ridiculously narrow for soccer, the close confines enabled the crowd to be almost 24

EARTHQUAKES 23 on top of the players. You could hear the players talking to each other, see the scrapes on their shins and even lean over the railing and verbally taunt the visiting team within a few feet of their ears. Although the Quakes weren’t necessarily a spectacular side at the time, they led the NASL in attendance during their first two seasons.

“Suddenly, every player in the league wanted to play here,” Moore said. “Because it was big crowds, and it was noisy, and they were right on top of you; it was like a big-time European game to them. This was the atmosphere you wanted to see. Krazy George was part of that gig, and the whole noise and the excitement were all part of it.”

Mani Hernandez scored the first Earthquakes goal.

Before and during his days with the Quakes, Hernandez taught Spanish at Leland High School. Now, after a staggering 27 years of coaching soccer at Presentation High School, he just watches from the sidelines. But he still fondly remembers those original days with the Quakes, how it was the only game in town.

“At first, we didn’t know how we were going to perform,” he said. “But once the first goal came, then it was enjoyable. Then we knew. It went from people saying, ‘Oh, you play that sport with the ball with the black spots,’ to an entire city behind that ball with the black spots.”

But the 2009 reunion looks to be the most extravagant affair yet. There will be a golf tournament, an old-timers game for those who can still play and also a dinner gala at the Fairmont featuring dedications and acknowledgements from a variety of participants.

Bob Ray, the morning-drive DJ on KLIV during the ’70s and a former Earthquakes public-address announcer, will be the master of ceremonies. On Sunday at noon, the current Earthquakes will play against the Seattle Sounders at Buck Shaw Stadium. All former NASL players in town for the reunion will be brought onto the field during halftime.

‘The players may not have been world class in talent, but they bought into that marketing game plan and executed it to perfection’ —Fred Guzman

Heritage Game During the first season, Ron Gilmore was 8 years old and began showing up at the Earthquakes’ public practices with his brother, Rob. They developed an immediate liking for the team and started helping out to collect loose soccer balls. They continued to show up, and as the ’70s drew to a close, both came on board as official equipment kids for the team, getting to know many of the players and the staff. When the league folded, they were heartbroken.

But it was not until about 2000, right after San Jose’s Major League Soccer (MLS) team, the Clash, changed its name to the Earthquakes that the idea for a full-blown reunion emerged.

“I just started writing peoples’ names down and remembering everyone I could,” Gilmore said. “And I sent my list around to everyone I knew to see if they still had contact with any of these guys.”

Slowly but surely, Gilmore found enough folks to take part in a reunion game before a San Jose Earthquakes home match during the 2001 season. Another get-together was held in 2004 to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the original 1974 squad. For that celebratory weekend, the MLS San Jose Earthquakes even wore retro 1970s kits with the original NASL logo and colors during a 3-0 stomping of Dallas. Krazy George fired up the crowd, and it was easily the best game San Jose played all season.

As of right now, Seattle is the only other MLS squad using an original name from the NASL days, so a new competition, instigated by Earthquakes fans and called the NASL Heritage Cup, debuts this season.

Every year from now on, the winning side will take home the trophy, which was conceived and designed by Earthquakes fan Rob Stevenson and commissioned by the Soccer Silicon Valley Community Foundation in collaboration with Seattle supporters. All in all, the entire weekend’s events will be documented for a special DVD to be released at a later date.

Gilmore himself currently resides in Glendale, Ariz., and works as a regional sales manager for Rothenberger USA, a German tool company. Although he spent hundreds of hours and a lot of his own money to make all this happen, he insists on remaining extraordinarily humble.

“If there’s any one thing I want to say, it’s that this is just my way of giving back,” he said. “These players meant so much to me as a kid, and I just want to repay them for it. That’s all. There’s nothing else I really need to say, in the end.”

But Gilmore did admit that he was approached by other original fans in Seattle and Tampa Bay wanting him to organize reunions for those NASL teams as well. He turned them down, declaring his passion for the San Jose Earthquakes.

“If he had done that, we would never have spoken to him again,” said Child, laughing.

Moore added that the whole scenario is a quintessential example of what the San Jose Earthquakes were all about.

“The kids and the families and the connections to the fans made the club work,” he said. Then, beginning to chuckle, “And it built this kind of sincerity that is probably best exhibited by the fact that Ron has done all this work to pull all the guys back together after all these years.”

The Brotherhood At the end of our conversation, Child reflected on the true meaning of it all: the camaraderie. “We didn’t have the greatest players in the world, but we had some great chemistry,” he said. “The Chelseas of the world, the Real Madrids, can spend all the money in the world, but sometimes that doesn’t do it. Most times, it doesn’t.

It’s just getting the right group of guys together, and I thought that in San Jose we had the perfect group of guys for a professional franchise, the first one ever to be in that city, and we kind of took it over.

People loved us. . . . I’ve gone on to other teams, but I’ve never found one quite like what we had in San Jose.”

Mike Hewitt took that riff and vamped on it even more. For these former players, he said, the upcoming reunion far transcends the 1970s bedroom communities of San Jose or even the sport of soccer, really.

“It’s not just that it’s San Jose, it’s that we were a team, we were teammates,” he emphasized. “You’ve got that camaraderie, togetherness, the kind of thing that most people don’t experience, and when you

leave a sport, any team sport, there’s a certain part of your body that leaves as well. Because you can’t replace that kind of camaraderie, and we’re always looking for that again, and so this [reunion] is part of it.”

Laurie Calloway went on to a decadeslong coaching career—his current position is technical director of Rochester FC in New York—and still cites the NASL Earthquakes as the highlight of his playing days.

“Most of my career, probably 300 of the 450 games I played [in England], were for third- and fourth-division teams,” he said.

“You’re a small fish in a big ocean. And in San Jose, I got to be a big fish in a little ocean. It was nice reward towards the end of my career as a player. And the league, at that time, was pretty big-time—Pelé, Beckenbauer and the others. I never would have played against those guys in England.”

Moore added that anyone who played for the Earthquakes is a brother to him, even if that person played long after Moore was gone. Consequently, Moore even came on board with the MLS Earthquakes and was the general manager when they won the championship in 2003.

For San Jose pro sports, that’s as much of a tradition as the city’s ever had.

“I felt as much a part of the guys [in 2003], because I knew there was guys 30 years ago that busted their ass to create that,” he said. “And all those guys 30 years ago were watching that game on television jumping up and down, because they had been there and part of that name, that club. I don’t think that’s any different than a guy at Manchester United who played 30 years ago who still feels Manchester United is his club. As soon as he walks in the door, he’s part of a brotherhood.” M 26

Italian Surprise ;Za^eZ 7j^igV\d

Redwood Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new Donato Enoteca offers culinary treats well off the beaten path of most Italian restaurants

OT TO PUT too ďŹ ne a point on it, but Silicon Valley is a wasteland of boring and mediocre Italian food. There are some exceptions, but these restaurants are few and far between.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m always on the lookout for Italian restaurants that offer something beyond the same old menu of pizza, eggplant parmigiana and lasagna. Give me some hearty but simple Roman food. Surprise me with an eastern-looking menu from Trieste. Thrill me with the rustic tastes of Sardinia.

But please, hold the garlic bread and scampi. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had enough of that stuff to last me a lifetime. The food is like listening to classic rock.

Lynyrd Skynyrd is OK now and then, but if I never heard â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sweet Home Alabamaâ&#x20AC;? again, I could still live a happy and productive life.

I feel the same way about pasta carbonara and cheese manicotti.

So, when I learned that former La Strada chef Donato Scotti was opening Donato Enoteca in Redwood City, I saw reason for hope. Palo Altoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s La Strada is one of the few Italian restaurants that can wake me out of my spaghetti and meatball stupor.

After beginning his cooking career in his native Italy, Scotti worked at Los Angelesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; famed Valentino. He then joined Il Fornaio in Walnut Creek and Palo Alto.

From there, he opened La Strada in 2004. Donato Enoteca opened ďŹ ve weeks ago in a prime spot near City Hall in the increasingly appealing downtown Redwood City.

The restaurant offers three distinct dining rooms, outdoor sitting, a full bar and an open kitchen presided over by the affable Scotti, who can be seen shaking hands with customers and mussing up the hair of their kids.

Although there are a few standards, like pizza, panini and tiramisu, the bulk of the menu is a fresh breeze of lesser-known dishes that stray from the wellworn Italian-American path. The execution of the menu, however, runs hot and cold.

When the kitchen is on target, Donato Enoteca scores with rustic but elegant preparations of panItalian cuisine. Instead of breading and frying calamari like everyone else, Donato grills fresh and meaty Monterey Bay squid ($8) and pairs them with fat bianchi di spagna beans and mache. I loved the baby

artichokes ($7). The little thistles are fried until the outer leaves are wonderfully crisp like tiny artichoke-ďŹ&#x201A;avored potato chips, while the tiny hearts stay moist and sweet. The prosecco vinegarmint sauce offers a refreshing counternote.

Donatoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wood-ďŹ red pizzas are textbook perfect, with a thin, barely there crust that offers just enough structure to support the judiciously applied toppings. The margherita ($10) is a simple but delicious beauty.

The mozzarella commingles with the tomato sauce to create a wonderfully creamy tomato-cheese hybrid.

That same simplicity extended to my sausage sandwich ($9). An aromatic, house-made pork sausage patty shares space between slices of grilled ciabatta with a few grilled asparagus spears and a light spread of mustard. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all, and it was just great.

The roasted cod ($16) hits the mark, too. Paired with fregola (peasize pasta), artichoke, parsley and a sparkle of cleansing acidity from a splash of white wine, the dish didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t knock me back in my chair, but it won me over with subtle clean ďŹ&#x201A;avors and impeccable freshness.

Those were the high points. For

a chef with Scottiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experience, the missteps were hard to accept. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;bigoliâ&#x20AC;? pasta (a thick, spaghettilike noodle) with braised oxtail, tomato and asparagus tips ($14) was as gummy as boiled Play-Doh. The other ingredients were spot-on, but the leaden pasta dragged the dish down. The ricotta-cheese-ďŹ lled ravioli with fava beans, peeled cherry tomatoes and arugula pesto ($13) was equally chewy and heavy, especially at the edges where the pasta comes together. And the fava beans were undercooked by about 60 seconds.

The restaurant has only been open ďŹ ve weeks and is undoubtedly working out the kinks, but an Italian restaurant with a pedigree like this one should get pasta right on day one.

Prosciutto e pinzin ($9) is described as a traditional dumpling from Emilia-Romagna served with 18-month-old prosciutto. It sounded good on paper, but the fried dumplings were dry and ďŹ&#x201A;avorless, and the slices of cured meat draped over the top were strangely coarse and chalky.

The biggest clunker was the marinated and grilled top-round lamb ($19). I asked for medium-rare, but the meat lacked even a hint ((

of pink. The server graciously whisked it away and promised another plate would be forthcoming right away. It did come quickly, but it verged on medium, and the lamb was tough and strikingly bland.

For a new restaurant, service is quite smooth and professional. The staff knows the menu and appears to coordinate well with the kitchen. As you might expect, the wine list is heavy on Italian wines and contains some reasonably priced bottles and a $550 amarone if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the mood.

I loved the 2005 Cannonau di Sardegna from Sella and Mosca. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great food wine and is available by the glass for $10, but a bottle is a better deal at $36. The bar also makes a ďŹ ne Negroni ($9).

Desserts, like the rest of menu, are mixed. The tiramisu ($9) is as good as it getsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;layers of gooey chocolate and espresso-soaked cake capped with thick and creamy mascarpone cheese. While not particularly original, the molten chocolate hazelnut cake with vanilla gelato ($9) is easy to love, too. But the jellolike, layered berry and lemon panna cotta ($8) fell ďŹ&#x201A;at.

Donato Enoteca gets many things right: a great location, a warm and inviting space, a professional staff and the welcoming presence of Donato himself. While the food has its moments, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only element not yet in place. But with few other Italian restaurant options, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m prepared to wait.

OU KNOW how once you start paying attention to something like an author or a vacation destination it seems like you hear about the subject all the time? Lately, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been for me with the wines of the Highway 152 corridor near Morgan Hill. And what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been hearing are good things.

When I learned about San Jose winemaker ?:;; G>I8=:N and his H:CHDG>JB winery, I was intrigued because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m always on the lookout for lesser-known local producers of premium wine. But when I did a little research, I guess I shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been surprised that his ďŹ&#x201A;agship wine came from a vineyard just north of Highway 152 near the Uvas Canyon Reservoir. Something was drawing me to this area, so I had to learn more.

Ritchey believes that he has found a patch of cabernet sauvignon heaven on the Uvas Creek Vineyard just west of Morgan Hill. He makes wines from Paso Robles and Napa Valley, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s his Uvas Creek cabernet sauvignon heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most proud of. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The site is really special,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best vineyard Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever dealt with.â&#x20AC;?

The rugged vineyards of the Santa Cruz Mountains offer a myriad of microclimates, soil conditions and topography that yield an incredible diversity of wines, and Ritchey says it all comes together at the 4-acre vineyard. The area get warm, but not too warm in the day, while cool, foggy air from the coast washes over the hills at night to keep the fruit from over-ripening. But he says that, more than anything else, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vineyard owner 7>AA =DAIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obsessive commitment to quality that makes the grapes so special. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just insanely into growing the best grapes possible. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a vine whisperer or something.â&#x20AC;?

Ritchey has been making wine for 15 years. He was the winemaker for Clos la Chance for six years and also worked with Gundlach Bundschu in Sonoma and Cupertinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pichetti Winery before stepping out on his own 2002. He used to make his wine out of a winery in Soledad, but now he makes his wines closer to home at the Byington Winery in Los Gatos. He makes about 1,000 cases of wine a year and only 300 cases or so from the Uvas Creek Vineyard. But making wine on a small scale allows for greater quality and keeps it fun, he says.

The current release from the Uvas Creek Vineyard is the 2005. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a brawny beauty with a nose of coffee and leather and supple, silken tannins that provide structure but without any edges. Going down, it gave up plush ďŹ&#x201A;avors of cocoa and ripe blackberry, cherry and vanilla. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a round package of ďŹ&#x201A;avors thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun to try to unpack and ďŹ gure out whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inside. It sells for $42. The 2006 vintage is about to be released. I think it still needs time to unwind, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a pretty nose with whiffs of plum and blackberry and appealing ďŹ&#x201A;avors of green olive, oak and red fruit.

For now, wine is a side project for Ritchey. His full-time job is running Clean Solar, his solar-panel installation business, and business is booming. (When was the last time you heard someone say that?) But he always has wine on the brain. Under his name on his business card for Clean Solar are the letters â&#x20AC;&#x153;CWG,â&#x20AC;? an acronym that stands for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chief Wine Geek.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really passionate about, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really passionate about cabernet sauvignon,â&#x20AC;? Ritchey says.

And what heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really passionate about is his Uvas Creek Vineyard cabernet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to make a statement with this wine and how good it can be.â&#x20AC;?

mjwf! gffe Lunch Bunch

I

FEEL as if summer just started, but already I’m reading about back-to-school sales and getting kids ready for another school year. While I doubt that many gradeschool students feel the same way, I’m looking forward to the start of school this year. This fall, Congress is scheduled to take up two school nutrition bills. With Barack Obama in the White House, change could be coming to the C6I>DC6A H8=DDA AJC8= EGD<G6B. And change is long overdue.

The National School Lunch Act of 1946 was signed into law by President Harry S. Truman with noble-sounding intentions. It guaranteed a hot lunch to every schoolkid who couldn’t afford one. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the agency that oversees the program, approximately 30.5 million students receive free or reduced-price lunches each school day. But what was supposed to be a way of ensuring needy kids get enough to eat so they can pay attention in class has become a national disgrace.

The food served in most school cafeterias is industrial-grade slop that contributes to the epidemic in childhood obesity and Type 2 diabetes. Sixteen percent of children ages 2 to 19 are now obese, a problem that opens the door to a host of health problems. About half of children between the ages of 8 and 15 already have high cholesterol, high blood pressure or other risk factors for heart disease. Meanwhile, the school-lunch program props up an agricultural industry that’s sickening us and sickening the planet in the form of chemical- and petroleum-dependent farming practices.

Making sure kids don’t go hungry sounds like a high-minded idea, but the lunch program was really established as a way to support already heavily subsidized farms by passing off their surpluses to schools. In effect, schools became the garbage cans for what the market didn’t want. The program benefits agribusiness, not kids.

Calling what we serve kids “food” is a bit of stretch. Very little actual cooking goes on in school cafeterias. Foodlike substances arrive frozen in boxes and bags and then are reheated and reconstituted for lunchtime. It’s cheaper and labor saving for sure, but the end result isn’t very appealing. The USDA requires that each lunch contain approximately 600 calories and that no more than 30 percent of those calories come from fat, but most schools barely meet those requirements. Those standards can be met by averaging them over time, so it’s possible to serve chili dogs and Tater Tots one day and a salad and fruit cup the next day. Cheap, processed food still dominates school lunch menus.

While there are individual Bay Area schools that are improving what they serve children (Sunnyvale and Palo Alto schools have made significant improvements), this kind of bottomup reform is the exception to the norm. But a change from the top would have a dramatic impact. That’s where the Obamas come in.

Michelle Obama has gladdened the hearts of Alice Waters–loving, Michael Pollan–quoting foodies everywhere with her involvement in the White House garden. Many in the so-called good-food movement see her as an ally and are looking for her to be a champion for school lunch reform because her focus at the garden has been involving children in gardening and cooking. Many food policy analysts are watching to see what role she and the president will play when the Child Nutrition Act comes up for Congressional reauthorization next month.

This is the opportunity for Congress to right the many wrongs in the way we feed our kids at school.

The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine is on the right track. The group supports increasing the number of vegetarian and vegan meals served in school cafeterias because current menus are too high in saturated fat and cholesterol and deficient in fiber, fresh produce and grains. Check them out at www.healthyschoollunches.org. The website includes an online petition urging Congress to adopt a healthier school lunch policy that provides for vegetarian-based meals.

Reforming school lunches will be very challenging, especially in California. For one thing, schools are broke, and spending more on fresh, higher-quality food instead of frozen commodity foodstuffs is going to be difficult. Of course, schools shouldn’t bear all the blame for fat and unhealthy kids. Parents are the single most important factor in what a child eats.

If parents eat at McDonald’s and guzzle 2-liter bottles of Coke at the dinner table, kids will, too. But schools are supposed to educate children in many subjects, and one of those subjects should be what constitutes a healthy meal. Sadly, that lesson is seldom taught Follow me on Twitter @Stett_Holbrook.

ECENTLY, I read a sci-fi novel about the usual hardy band of survivors picking up the pieces after a world-winnowing disaster—something along the lines of swine flu. The story included a number of au courant asides about man’s ecological mistakes, so I figured it must have been written in the last decade or so. Then I came upon a reference to Charlie McCarthy and Edgar Bergen. Turns out that the novel, Earth Abides, was written by UC-Berkeley English professor George R. Stewart—in 1949.

For at least 60 years then, artists have been worrying about what we’re doing to the planet, and politicians have been pretty much ignoring them. “NextNew: Green,” at the San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art, highlights the work of some young artists, just out of MFA programs, trying to make us sit up and pay attention, if not take action. Some of the pieces are provocative, but I worry that they have as much effect on our response to global warming and climate change as antiwar films have on war.

The general tone is dystopian.

Misako Inaoka contributes small mutant hybrid animals, both mounted on wooden plaques as trophies and arrayed on a chess board. Cobbled together from children’s toys and painted silver, the menagerie depicts a scary future of desperate adaptation: a bird with horse haunches for a tail, a moose burdened with bird-claw antlers, a shark/walrus mix-up walking on gorilla legs. One of these clever, cautionary beasts even chirps and swivels its head in responds to a viewer’s attention. Call them Darwin’s worst nightmares.

Ryan Pierce’s oil Down by the Riverside, with its flat, patterned river flowing through a wasted landscape of clear-cut tree stumps and wooden crosses, reminds me of Chester Arnold’s Road to Paradise. The Arnold, which showed at last year’s “Eureka!” group exhibit at SJICA, depicted a once-pristine rivulet choked with society’s detritus. Something about a wilderness makes us want to despoil it, apparently.

The whole sorry process of civilization gets laid bare in Carson Murdach’s series of unframed paintings done in a faux-19th-

century folk-art style. In large canvases, the colonizing ships arrive in an armada at an Edenic shore; a settlement sprouts; a great city full of monumental buildings from across history chokes out the natural landscape. In the final, smaller panels, after some unspecified disaster, ships loaded down with little red-roofed houses, fight stormy waves as they beat a hasty retreat.

Michelle Blade’s large ink paintings use ships to a more mystical purpose.

In Facing an Abyssal Sea, vessels of all sizes converge on a horizon illuminated by a glowing orb. It’s hard to escape the thought that we are witnessing a world submerged, with the remnants of sea-borne humanity drawn lemming fashion to a final rendezvous. Untitled (We Found God on a Cruise Ship) shows passengers crowded on the prow of a ship headed through ice floes toward shimmering, almost blinding rays of light. Here the unbearable lightness of icebergs (or what’s left of them) exerts the same sense of sublime awe that it did on the great landscape painter Frederic Church.

Several of the “NextNew” artists deploy cast-off materials: recycling

as a kind of redemption. Vanessa Marsh’s sculptures of industrial wreckage—a cement factory, a deserted segment of freeway—are meticulously fashioned from various found materials. The modeler in me admires the exquisite craft, but they do not transcend the scenic achievements that can be found at a toy-train convention.

More effective are Sandra Ono’s soft sculptures made from hundreds of balloons scrunched together at the necks to make lumpy shapes both beautiful and sinister—Untitled (Black Balloons) could be a thick bubble of tarry residue seeping from a superfund site.

Most troubling is Michael Ryan’s installation Dead Space, which uses motors, wires and tubes to animate some plastic bags that seem to respire gently with rhythmic puffs of air.

It’s like an abstracted Frankenstein’s monster constructed not from body parts but consumer packaging.

NEXTNEW: GREEN runs through Sept. 20 at the San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art, 560 S. First St., San Jose. Tuesday–Friday, 10am–5pm, Saturday noon–5pm. Free. (408.283.8155)

NE OF TODAY’S most talked-about composers makes his debut appearance at this summer’s Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music in Santa Cruz.

Osvaldo Golijov joins nine other FINE-TUNING Dpnqptfs!Ptwbmep!Hpmjkpw!xpslt! composers in residence who will up!qfsgfdu!ijt!dfmmp!dpodfsup!ÕB{vm/Ö gather to witness their own works spread across six orchestral programs— one more than last year’s five. Free events and open rehearsals start Aug. 2; concert performances will be staged between Aug. 7 and 16.

Argentine-born Golijov, now recognized worldwide for his St. Mark Passion and the opera Ainadamar, was represented, in absentia, with two works at last year’s festival. The composer, who has assimilated classical and vernacular styles from all over, is coming to Cabrillo to hear his cello concerto, Azul, played by the young star of the instrument, Alisa Weilerstein (daughter of the Cleveland Quartet’s founding principal violinist, Donald Weilerstein, and pianist Vivian Hornik Weilerstein.) A critically acclaimed artist on the international scene, lauded for her power and intensity, Alisa Weilerstein has performed Azul many times, including a prior collaboration with Cabrillo Festival music director Marin Alsop. For the piece, they will be joined by hyperaccordionist Michael Ward-Bergeman. This festival-opening program includes the U.S. premiere of Australian composer Brett Dean’s Amphitheatre and the world premiere of British composer David Heath’s Rise From the Dark, both men joining Golijov in residence.

At the Aug. 8 concert, composer Erico Chapela will hear his inguesu, Avner Dorman his Spices, Perfumes, Toxins! and Dean his Moments of Bliss, all local premieres. Other composers in residence are Aussie Matthew Hindson, Americans Lee Johnson, Ingram Marshall and Kevin Puts, and Brit Joby Talbot. On Aug. 9, in honor of the 14th anniversary of Jerry Garcia’s death, Alsop and the orchestra will be gratefully serve up a benefit performance of Lee Johnson’s popular Dead Symphony no. 6.

Finnish-born Magnus Lindberg, the New York Philharmonic’s composer-in-residencein-waiting, is represented by his Seht die Sonne (Behold the Sun), which has attracted acclaim in Europe and America and got a rave last year from San Francisco Chronicle critic Joshua Kosman (the same critic who denounced the composer’s Concerto for Orchestra after hearing it at the 2005 Cabrillo Festival.) Other eagerly anticipated works on the Lindberg program are James MacMillan’s symphonic suite from his opera The Sacrifice and the U.S. premiere of Talbot’s Desolation Wilderness, inspired by the desert side of the Sierra Nevada. The finale, at Mission San Juan Bautista, is no less intriguing, offering George Tsontakis’ homage to French music, Clair de lune, Marshall’s “spiritual” Kingdom Come, Puts’ Two Mountain Scenes and Aaron Jay Kernis’ Invisible Mosaic III. Scott MacClelland THE CABRILLO FESTIVAL OF CONTEMPORARY MUSIC takes place Aug. 2–16 at the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium and other venues.See www.cabrillomusic.org for details.

RANTED THAT The Producers is an old dirty joke, Mel Brooks’ Tony Award–winning comedy still manages to have the chutzpah and EYE CANDY!!Vmmb!)Csjuuboz!Phmf*!tipxt!pgg!! bite to be funny more than 40 years after ifs!ubmfout!gps!Nby!)mfgu-!Hbsz!EfNbuufj*!boe!! it was first put on the silver screen. This Mfp!)Ujn!Sfzopmet*!jo!ÕUif!Qspevdfst/Ö is fortunate for Foothill Music Theatre’s production of the campy tale of theatrical embezzlement, because satirizing the Third Reich and Broadway hypocrisy could become rather shrill and grating if not handled with the right degree of high spirits and winking naughtiness to keep it fun. The production, now at the Smithwick Theatre in Los Altos Hills, is taken scene by scene from Brooks’ Broadway musical adaptation, which carted off a dozen Tonys in 2001, based on Brook’s nonmusical 1968 film of the same title.

In the role made classic by the ample Zero Mostel and Nathan Lane, Gary DeMattei is greasy enough in demeanor if not in girth as Max Bialystock. Even with pants obviously stuffed around the waist to denote a nonexistent spare tire on the fit actor, DeMattei is irrepressible in the role of the seedy theatrical producer who decides to turn a surefire flop into an embezzlement cash cow he can run away to Rio with. (San Jose native DeMattei is also a co-founder and producing director of Theatre on San Pedro Square in downtown San Jose.)

Tim Reynolds plays Max’s bashful and mousey accountant turned co-producer Leo Bloom. Reynolds’ performance is taken right out of the book of Matthew Broderick, but his voice and appearance are eerily similar to Steve Carell of The Office fame. Though not the best singer, neither is his character, so Reynolds could get away with a few cracks and weak warbles on opening night. Plus The Producers is inherently one of those forgiving shows where the actors can cover up any mistake with a witty backhanded remark.

Other notable performances include Brittany Ogle breaking out all the charms as the undulating Swedish eye candy/secretary Ulla, and Ray Joseph, who steals every scene he’s in as Roger DeBris, the hack director who insists on “keeping it gay.”

The final re-creation of ’40s-era musical numbers in the vein of Der Führer was surprisingly lavish, with feather- and sequin-clad Ziegfeld-esque girls descending stairs in impressive sausage and pretzel headdresses. The chorus lines of hotsy-totsy Nazis were practiced if not perfectly in sync but should still receive kudos for attempting the complicated dance numbers of the Broadway play on Smithwick’s small stage. (How often do actors have to dance in perfect swastika formation, anyway?) As always, The Producers proves that bad taste can be hilarious. With an enthusiastic cast, this crowd pleaser will keep the laughs coming and the songs stuck in your head long after the curtain falls, even if the audience already knows what jokes are next.

Jessica Fromm THE PRODUCERS, a Foothill Music Theatre production, plays Thursday–Saturday at 8pm and Sunday at 2pm through Aug. 16 at the Smithwick Theatre, Foothill College, 12345 El Monte Road, Los Altos Hills.

Tickets are $16–$26. (650.949.7360)

Jests in Time

Corporate pranksters skewer the suits in ‘The Yes Men Fix the World’ at Jewish Film Festival showings in Palo Alto

By Richard von Busack

T

HE GOOD THING about the very obedient is that they are very credulous.

The Yes Men Fix the World plays as part of the traveling part of the San Francisco Jewish Film Festival on Aug. 2 at 9pm at the CinéArts Palo Alto. The film is the follow-up to The Yes Men, the Dan Ollman– Sarah Price documentary of 2003.

Regardless of the serious prank-power of Sacha Baron Cohen, the antics of Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonanno (who directed) are even funnier: the arrow of the humor is pointed at corporate cads instead of a pack of Arkies out for a night of cheap beer and wrestling.

The Yes Men’s long-running prank is to insinuate themselves into think tanks, press conferences and trade shows, pretending to be representatives of name-brand corporations. Using “Cheap suits and fake websites” (and some weird PowerPoint demonstrations), the Yes Men drop Dow Chemical’s stock by three points. Posing as representative “Jude Finisterra” (“end of the world”), one member ginned up an interview on the BBC, claiming that Dow was going to at long last reimburse the victims of Bhopal “just because it’s the right thing to do.”

Later, Bichlbaum and Bonanno travel to that still-blighted city of 1 million; there, they demonstrate that there wasn’t much substance to the BBC’s face-saving claim that the mean prank had caused Indians to weep bitter tears.

Happily, petrochemical engineers

are slightly cannier. Take the Yes Men’s unveiling of “vivoleum”—a human-corpse-based fuel—at the Go Expo in Calgary, which even the “childlike exuberance of a great industry” can’t quite swallow.

Later, they pose as unusually benign government officials at a New Orleans presser, sharing the stage with the mayor and the governor of Louisiana. When exposed, one Yes Man claims that his partner, the bogus HUD official, is odd because “he just got here from France.” This could be called the Conehead Defense.

Some other standouts at the festival include The Goldbergs (Aug. 2, 12:30pm), which resurrects some episodes from a mostly forgotten multimedia phenomenon. The Goldbergs, a long-running situation comedy about Jewish life, leapt from radio (1929–46) to television (1949–56). Gertrude Berg’s Molly Goldberg—the ultimate Jewish mama—entertained millions. Also showing is Yoo-Hoo, Mrs. Goldberg (Aug. 2, 3pm), a documentary about the show in general, and Berg and her blacklisted co-star Philip Loeb in particular.

The episodes revived here aren’t exactly the TV version of Henry Roth’s Call It Sleep, but they’re a certainly a revelation about the seriousness and power of early television. Berg, in character as Mrs. Goldberg, sells Sanka in one-minute wraparounds to the main show. This is all the better to avoid interruptions for the main comedy-drama, which is laugh-track and zinger free.

Filmed on a small set, the action takes place in a crowded apartment, with dumbwaiter and airshaft opening up the space to neighbors who shout new information. The episode “Matchmaker” has Gertrude trying to stretch a boiled chicken dinner to all the eligible men crowding in to court Gertrude’s niece. Surprisingly old-country faces and voices show up in this episode.

The window The Goldbergs provides into postwar Jewish urban life is more than just a TV show’s painted backdrop.

Aug. 3 (3:45pm) showcases a selection from the Ma’aleh Film School 20th Anniversary package of shorts. The highlight here is the excellent documentary Rosenzweig—Born to Dance by Karen Hakak. Eighty-eight-year-old Avigdor Rosenzweig from Lodz has asthma and a pacemaker: “The only thing that’s OK is my feet.” This eccentric former music hall star plays the Israeli Lottery with the arm tattoo he got at Birkenau. (“They gave me this number, I use it.”) His dancing skills helped save him from the ovens, and he still dances today—sometimes in the striped uniform he wore in the concentration camp.

Hakak urges this man’s story along with expert cutting and droll, silent observation. What we see isn’t a prolix “triumph of the human spirit” story of surviving the Holocaust. Rather it’s a bizarre and fascinating juxtaposition of eras, so uncanny that it’s as if you opened your front door and saw a knight in armor standing there.

The erstwhile crowd-pleaser Hey Hey It’s Esther Blueberger (Aug. 4, 6:15pm) gives you fair warning in the title: 13-year-old Esther (Danielle Cantanzariti) of Adelaide, Australia, jumps the fence of her cruel private school and encounters a public-school rebel—a surly half-Maori girl called, perhaps ironically, Sunny (Keisha Castle-Hughes from Whale Rider). At first, Castle-Hughes shows Malcolm McDowell levels of cockiness, but she gets monotonously mannered, looking as morosely diffident as Richard Burton when his heart wasn’t in a film.

More intriguing, if ultimately disenchanting, is Israel’s Seven Minutes in Heaven (Aug. 1, 9:30pm). Galia (Reymonde Amsellem) is in an aura state following a trauma; she was clinically dead for seven minutes after a terrorist bombing in Jerusalem. Far more interesting than director Omri Givon’s M. Night Shyamalanesque touches is all the stuff the director took from life before he shaped it for metaphysics. This is what seems real, and must be happening every day: Galia’s thorny feelings, the itching of her scar tissue and the dialogue with record keepers who deal with the bombings. Their interchange goes like so: “Were you in the one at the mall?”

“No, the one on the bus.” “French Hill?” “No, at the city center.” “Ah, God, that was horrible.”

THE SAN FRANCISCO JEWISH FILM FESTIVAL screens features Aug. 1–6 at the CinéArts Palo Alto.

Reviews by Michael S. Gant and Richard von Busack.

New The Collector (R; 88 min.) Mardeline Zima, Andrea Roth and Josh Stewart star in a crime drama about an ex-con trying to steal his way out of trouble. Not to be confused with the 1965 thriller of the same name, starring Terence Stamp and Samantha Eggar, directed by William Wyler and based on the John Fowles novel. (Opens Jul 31.)

Funny People (R; 146 min.) Judd Apatow attempts to squeeze Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen onto the same screen in a dramedy about a dying comedian looking for true friendship.

(Opens Jul 31.)

Humpday (R; 95 min.) See review on page 52.

In the Loop (Unrated; 106 min.) See review on page 49.

Shrink (R; 110 min.) See review on page 51.

Revivals Cleopatra (1963) Three confused years in the making, this megaproduction was, as author Kenneth L. Geist observes, forced to compete with one Shaw play and two Shakespeare plays. What the playwrights couldn’t show, the film trafficked in: lights, camera, Actium! (and Pharsalia and Tarsus, with the barge she sat on so perfumed that the winds were lovesick, etc.). This gigantic Egyptian bauble perplexed some of the greatest minds in the business, including Rouben Mamoulian, Walter Wanger, Hermes Pan, Leon Shamroy, Christopher Fry, Laurence Durrell, not to mention its credited director Joseph L. Mankiewicz, who almost died on the job. Cleo was at one point “a virgin who could only be deflowered by a god” (Mankiewicz), though the bronzed and zaftig star Elizabeth Taylor was perhaps not quite the picture of a virgin. Eventually, Richard Burton was called in to play the noblest Roman of them all, and “Sexy Rexy” Harrison co-starred as Great Caesar (rather well, thought my 12-

year-old self). The demands of Liz and Dick, the Brangelina of their age, added to the chaos. In gorgeous 70 mm on the big screen at the gorgeous California Theatre, the film should be a sight to see—fragrant with the smell of old sandalwood incense and covered with a thin layer of dust. (Plays Jul 31-Aug 1 at 7pm in San Jose at the California Theatre.) (RvB) Hairspray (2007) In 1962, the chunky Tracy Turnblad’s aims are as small as her frame is big; she (newcomer Nikki Blonsky) and her best pal, Penny (Amanda Bynes), long to be on The Corny Collins Show, a TV dance program.

Tracy muscles in on the popularity of the queen of the show, Amber (Brittany Snow), and her evil stage mom, Velma (Michelle Pfeiffer, who delivers a delicious speak-singing song about her days as “Miss Baltimore Crab”). Director/choreographer Adam Shankman carries out Hairspray in what could be called a neoclassical style.

After the fidgety, exhausting camerawork of purported knockouts like Moulin Rouge!, Chicago and Dreamgirls, Shankman does what Stanley Donen would have done: he hangs back, occasionally adjusting the angle with a crane shot, and shows us the dancers and singers we came to see. One thing we wish we couldn’t see: John Travolta in drag

and in a fat suit. (Plays Jul 30 at sunset in Redwood City at Old Courthouse Square; free; bring blankets and lawn chairs.) (RvB) Niles Film Museum Regularly scheduled programs of silent films. Aug 1: Orphans of the Storm (1922): In D.W. Griffith’s still-exciting pastiche of A Tale of Two Cities, Dorothy and Lillian Gish are Norman peasant girls who come to Paris just in time for the French Revolution. This early epic never loses the human scale, thanks to the achingly pure acting of the Gishes, who pantomime the mysterious bond of sisterhood as few actresses have since. Also: The Musketeers of Pig Alley (1912). Just under 17 minutes long, this is likely the first gangster movie ever made. “From New York’s Other Side,” a bland civilian and an interesting criminal (Elmer Booth) meet because of a damsel in distress (Lillian Gish). In scenes of a trio of criminals stealing their way into a darkened room on a sunlit day, you can practically feel Griffith and his cameraman Billy Bitzer looking for a method to lengthen the shadows. The striking, asymmetrical compositions, and the authentic-looking sets have been repeated in films again and again. The plot is tangled, but the atmosphere is certainly there: it was shot in a studio on NYC’s East 14th Street, where Lucky Luciano grew up, as Kevin Brownlow notes. Also: Shanghaied with Charlie Chaplin (1915). Jon Mirsalis on the Kurzwell synthesizer. (Plays Aug 1 at 7:30 in Fremont at the Edison Theater, 37417 Niles Blvd.) (RvB Roman Holiday/Midnight (1953/1939) Audrey Hepburn stars as a Ruritanian princess on the run; reporter Gregory Peck is on her trail. This trifle is energized by the location photography of Rome—a great novelty at the time and a feat to pull off during the middle of a heat wave. The film made Hepburn a star. Henri Alekan, the great cinematographer, cophotographed. BILLED WITH Midnight. It features a sophisticated triangle: a penniless chorus girl (Claudette Colbert), a Parisian tax driver (Don Ameche) and a wealthy rogue (John Barrymore) who hires the girl to lure away his own wife’s lover. If you don’t count Twentieth Century, this is the movie that gives the best idea of what audiences of 80 years ago saw in Barrymore.

Co-stars include the late Francis Lederer (the sinister manservant in Jean Renoir’s version of Diary of a Chambermaid and also a good Dracula, once), Mary Astor and Hedda Hopper. (Plays Jul 31-Aug 3 in Palo Alto at the Stanford Theatre.) (RvB) The Wicked Lady/Madonna of the Seven Moons (Both 1945) James Mason stars against Margaret Lockwood—a born-in-Karachi beauty. Lockwood plays a titled lady of the 1700s who becomes a highway robber for the fun of it. Mason plays the dashing bandit she meets along the way. BILLED WITH Madonna of the Seven Moons with Stewart Granger in a romance of past-life regression. (Plays Aug 4-6 in Palo Alto at the Stanford Theatre.) (RvB) The Nun’s Story (1959) In the Belgian Congo, a nun from Brussels (Audrey Hepburn) faces the turmoil of the war years and their aftermath. One of the few epic parts Audrey Hepburn had, this story of war and religious doubt co-stars Peter Finch and Edith Evans. (Plays Jul 29-30 in Palo Alto at the Stanford Theatre.) (RvB)

Reviews Away We Go (R; 98 min.) Burt (John Krasinski), an alterna-insurance broker, and his pregnant mate, the dour, nervous Verona (Maya Rudolph) seek a community.

Sadly, they learn that America is a beautiful country full of ugly people.

Not enough jokes, by a long chalk. Alison Janney, the standout, as a sharp-tongued mom, is only temporary relief from the

two leads: the moral and physical center of this movie’s universe. The writers are San Francisco’s Dave Eggers and his wife, Vendela Vida, who seek the wonder and freshness in aged platitudes about the innocence of children. (RvB) Brüno (R; 83 min.) Sacha Baron Cohen, late of Borat, purports to be Brüno, a past-hisprime Austrian club kid, seeking wider fame. Cohen’s drastic comedy insists that all the worst fears of gay haters are true and screws that point down. It argues that gay people are into flagrantly bizarre sexual practices, will try to recruit straight people relentlessly and will tease and seduce even the violently uninterested. Brüno, then, is not a plea for understanding but a shout of rage against homophobia. Watching Cohen in his disguise is like reading H.L. Mencken—amusement at the rude wit is followed by nauseated despair at universal gullibility. (RvB) (500) Days of Summer (PG-13; 95 min.) Tom (Joseph GordonLevitt), a greeting-card writer, has his heart broken by a girl he knew for about two years. She was called Summer (Zooey Deschanel). As Tom recalls this tale in random-accessed moments, we begin to see the bigger picture. (500) Days of Summer is allegedly an anti-romantic film, but the result is yet another alterna-date movie—a little brighter, a little more referential, than usual. The scenes don’t go on so long that they wear out their welcome. And yet it’s so full of negative space—places where jokes could have been planted, places where the characters could have been deepened.

If only director Marc Webb had spent as much time thinking how to fill in the blanks as he spent murmuring, “It’s going to be Annie Hall for our generation.” (RvB) Food, Inc. (PG; 94 min.) The outrages of corporate food production are exposed in this fast and infuriating documentary by Robert Kenner. Defying the lawyers, one corporate chicken farmer shows us her wretched, antibiotic-packed birds. Drooling packed-in steers are fattened with cheap Iowa corn; it breeds E. coli in their guts. (RvB) G-Force (PG; 88 min.) Guinea pig humor dressed up in military fatigues.

The Hangover (R; 100 min.) A satisfyingly low comedy with a sturdy plot and the wit to realize that the Three Stooges format is solid gold.

Stick with it, since the first third is hit and miss; later, director Todd Phillips solidly builds the situations, thinking up strategies to bolster the risky comedy. (RvB) Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (PG; 153 min.) Hogwarts’ decay is showing, against lowering weather that looks like January in Iceland. The new potions professor, Horace Slughorn (Jim Broadbent), holds in his memory a key conversation with the young Tom Riddle, later to become the Hitler of the world of magic. Dumbledore (Michael Gambon), the magic-world’s Churchill, needs to know what Slughorn knows, but the world’s greatest wizard is starting to decay. Young Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) is now comfy enough with being called the Chosen One that he can joke about it (even if Emma Watson’s Hermione gives him an whack on the head when he does). Rupert Grint is show-stealing in his perennial role as ginger-nut comedy relief. (RvB) The Hurt Locker (R; 131 min.) The soldiers of Bravo Company are stationed in Baghdad for the 2004 fighting. Central to the film is the mystery of Staff Sgt. James (Jeremy Renner) who comes in to replace a slaughtered demolition expert. James’ risktaking amazes and angers his subordinate, Sgt. Sanborn (Anthony Mackie). Director Kathryn Bigelow does what Howard

m e t r o s i l i c o n va l l e y july 29-august 4, 2009 film

Moon (R; 97 min.) Sam Bell (Sam Rockwell) is a miner on the dark side of the moon.

His only companion is a living computer named GERTY, with an emoticon face and measured, ambiguous voice by Kevin Spacey. Sam is counting the days until he gets to go home, but matters start to go wrong. The film comes down to Rockwell acting by himself, when history has proven that Rockwell is at his best as a sidekick.

(RvB) Orphan (R; 123 min.) A horror thriller about an adopted child with serious issues. Stars Vera Farmiga, Isabelle Fuhrman and Peter Sarsgaard.

The Proposal (PG-13; 107 min.) Sandra Bullock returns in a romantic comedy with Ryan Reynolds.

Plus (check your demographics tables here) Mary Steenburgen, Craig T. Nelson and Betty White.

Public Enemies (R; 140 min.) Previous takes on the life of John Dillinger had themes like “Crime doesn’t pay” or “Society is to blame.” Michael Mann’s is “It was only a movie.” Mann carries out this study of Dillinger’s career from its middle to its end in darting, little-cam movements. If it weren’t for the music—1940s jazz in a 1930s world—the film would look Dogmetized. The photography often uses high-def synthetic light: yellowish-white flares of gun bursts and gritty magenta torches burning. Surfaces come to mind—that’s what this skin-deep film gives you when you can’t hear the dialogue or can’t tell who the new characters are supposed to be. In numberless close-ups, Johnny Depp emphasizes surface, too. Spilling out the capsulized details of his life in three or four lines, Dillinger asks his girl Billie (Marion Cotillard) “What else do you want to know about me?” That’s meant to keep us satisfied, too. Who am I? I’m the guy playing Dillinger, that’s who. The movie makes the master bank robber a gent, a showman, an ardent monogamous lover; when he takes hostages, it’s to relieve them of the humdrumness of their lives. But Public Enemies never takes us hostage; it never establishes that link it reaches for, the link between those hard times and ours.

(RvB) Séraphine (Unrated; 125 min.) Director Martin Provost delivers a measured, Bressonian biopic of Séraphine Louis, later known as Séraphine de Senlis, a 1914-era scrubwoman and naive artist from rural France. Yolande Moreau inhabits this poor woman’s shell: it’s uncompromising, brawny acting. Provost provides a strong but not overstressed rhyme of this woman working in solitude with the life of this collector who had covert tendencies of his own, William Uhde (Ulrich Tukur), a lawyer and Paris gallery owner. Provost’s fine biopic takes an unsentimental view of Séraphine’s art; her raptures and her loose grip on sanity are closed off to us. It’s a private world we can watch from the outside and marvel at. (RvB) Summer Hours (Unrated; 103 min.) In Olivier Assayas’ absorbing and smart new film, the problems of an extended family illuminate the abstract idea of artistic patrimony. At her 75th birthday party, Hélène (Edith Scob) prepares to divide up her worldly goods among her children. These children are scattered all over the globe and don’t have the wherewithal to keep a luscious summer house going; the place is stuffed with valuable art pieces, too, which will have to be doled out to relatives and museums. Hélène was the longtime companion (perhaps more) of her uncle,

a noted post-Impressionist; the slightly awkward legacy is puzzled out during the extended mourning session after Hélène drops dead. Mulling over the cultural and financial primacy that’s migrated out of France into China and America, the film makes no recriminations. Assayas is gentle about the harsh edge of time scraping away things that are traditionally French, leaving behind the pop (mono)culture of superheroes, sneakers and drinking beer from the bottle. At a final house party for the family, he dwells on a trio of charming young modern girls dancing to Les Plastiscines’ terrific punk tune “Loser,” as if they were the Three Graces or something.

(RvB) The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 (R; 106 min.) Grubby, truculent remake, with John Travolta looking like an old and jaded rent boy as a criminal mastermind hostaging a group of subway riders.

He’s opposed by Walter Garber (Denzel

Washington), a low-key civil servant for the MTA; Washington downplays things until he practically vanishes. Director Tony Scott, with neither interest nor time for underdogs, can’t work up feeling for their plight, so he allows Travolta to inflate his part with anal-aggressive patter. This version has agoraphobia, taking place as it does either in the subway tunnels or the interior of an office, with brash but immaterial street scenes of the money arriving from Brooklyn. (RvB) Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (PG-13; 150 min.) Off to college goes young Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) trying to forget the trauma of watching the robots destroy L.A. The government covered it up.

Sadly, a chip of the spark cube stuck to Sam’s shirt, and that starts the whole mess over again: indistinguishable robot-clobber with warlike threats. Manly Air Force officers in camouflage strut in slo-mo amid more cargo

War Story

‘In the Loop’ lays down withering satire over a rush to war that sounds very familiar

Y

OU CAN’T MAKE this stuff up, and director/writer Armando Iannucci didn’t have to. In the Loop has Iannucci, a well-known figure in British television comedy, doing a scathing sort-of version of the dawn of the Iraq invasion. A high-ranking member of the U.S. presidential staff rushes to war; a celebrated army officer opposes him behind the scenes. James Gandolfini’s Lt. Gen. George Miller is a slobbier, more wrathful version of Colin Powell—profane, but nobody’s fool. Mimi Kennedy plays Miller’s best ally, Karen Clarke, a career State Department diplomat with dandruffy hair and teeth that seem to be disintegrating during the middle of a crisis. Gandolfini and Clarke’s characters are the film’s moral center—the two people operating with goodwill. We want to follow them through this sonata of collapsing spines and raving, swearing political careerists. But too often Iannucci just won’t let us.

Chief among the abusers are the White House warmonger, the Rumsfeldian Linton Barwick (David Rasche), a pious creep who keeps a live hand grenade on his desk. Clarke and the State Department try to discover his hidden scheme. Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, the British PM’s press secretary, Malcolm Tucker (Peter Capaldi), keeps up both fact-finding and fulmination. Tucker is a Scottish telephone screamer whose favorite task is calling in underlings to his office for “a bollocking” (a disciplinary session).

Tucker’s two favorite bollockees are Simon Foster (Tom Hollander, this British comedy’s Alec Guinness), a minor MP from an inglorious district, and Foster’s tousled, Ron Weasley–like aide Toby (Chris Addison). Foster is meant to be a chair-warmer at the U.S./U.K. diplomatic meetings. Unfortunately, the MP grabs unwarranted attention by blurting out something to the press. Foster’s later attempt to restate his misstatement is a fine macramé of words, far too tangled to reknit here. The lines have something to do with the “mountain of conflict” that cannot be anticipated by the speeding aircraft of destiny, a mountain that cannot be predicted, only climbed. Certainly, this diplomatic obfuscation is inspired by Rumsfeld’s “known unknowns” speech, but it is even more slippery.

In the Loop presents a relentless festival of wit. When Foster has to go back to the boondocks to meet with his constituents—“from the White House to the shite house”—he’s plagued with a stubborn yokel; Steve Coogan, wearing a wool hat and an air of blocked grievance, is a delight in the part. So is Gandolfini, with his croaking supersized wrath. His ogreish grimace, as he watches the vile Tucker try to outmacho him, is a serious threat in a film full of empty ones.

It all must have looked great on paper. The scathing verbiage pours forth like a gusher. It’s not that the talk is too fast to comprehend (some will find it so), it’s that it might have been better focused through the smaller aperture of a TV screen. The small-camera rack-focusing and the relentless interiors give you a kind of jet lag as you watch the actors tantruming under illnessinducing fluorescent light. A movie needs so much more than cold wit. In the Loop is a case of smartness outsmarting itself. It keeps you helplessly laughing but sends you home with a cold, dismal feeling.

Richard von Busack IN THE LOOP (Unrated; 106 min.), directed by Armando Iannucci, written by Iannucci, Jesse Armstrong, et al., photographed by Jamie Caimey and starring Peter Capaldi and James Gandolfini, opens July 31 at Camera 3 in San Jose and the Aquarius in Palo Alto.

49( planes than one would see in an “Army of One” commercial. (RvB) The Ugly Truth (R; 101 min.) A rom-com with Katherine Heigel and Gerard Butler acting sorta antagonistic but really falling for each other.

Up (PG; 96 min.) Pixar spoils us dreadfully, but this phenomenally good 3-D cartoon is a standout even by their lights: the sturdily built comedic adventure appeals to all. A reject kid named Carl (voiced, when he’s in old age, by Ed Asner) grows up to be a balloon vender in the city park. He decides to f ly to South America, using his house as a gondola.

He and a childish stowaway, Russell (Jordan Nagai), encounter a 13-foot-tall iridescent goonie bird, and they also run into Carl’s boyhood hero (Christopher Plummer), an explorer who has been bitten by the Dr. Moreau bug. Certainly, most people will care only about the film’s buoyancy. But while loving Up’s ingenuity and humor, one also respects director Pete Docter’s refusal to stint the other side of adventure: pain, disappointment and even a tiny amount of blood. (RvB)

ALL ME a buzz squelcher, but Jonas Pate’s Crash-y, tag-team, onlyconnect, only-in-L.A. drama Shrink draws its moral lines so heavily you can taste the chalk dust flying off them. Shrink begins solidly with a world-weary psychiatrist, Dr. Henry Carter (Kevin Spacey), dog-faced from sleeplessness and much puffing of the evil herb. Once he was a psychiatrist to the stars and the author of a book called Stop Feeling Sad; now he is a physician who needs to heal himself. The doctor has a roster of clients, a real workload: Kate (Saffron Burrows) and Evan (Joel Gretsch), a famous movie star/rock-star couple with child, are now on the verge of splitting. This couple, referred to as “Katevan” in the tabloids, is supposed to be as famous as Brangelina. Shamus (Jack Huston, John’s grandson) is supposed to be Colin Farrell, an out-of-control Irish movie star unhappy with his work. Robin Williams plays Jack Holden (why not William Nicholson?), an aging movie star who quips that he needs to be sent to “Cockenders” for his adulterous tendencies. He is self-medicating with booze.

Want more? Too bad, here they come: Dallas Roberts plays Carter’s patient Patrick, a neurotic asshole of a motion picture executive, the Jay Mohr type.

New patients include Jeremy (Mark Webber), who was the godson of Carter’s father—a lawn-mowing nobody in this star-studded scheme, with hopes of writing a script someday. Though he’s supposed to be Joe average, Webber plays Jeremy as if he had the lead role in a Sam Rockwell biopic. Lastly, working-class African-American girl Jemma (Keke Palmer) is seeing Dr. Carter for pro bono sessions of what seems like that “movie therapy” you’ve read so much about. Jemma won’t talk to the doc about her problems or about the reason she has a cast on her arm from having tried to knock some sense into the mirror in her high school bathroom. So they go to the movies together.

Once upon a time, the man who linked high and low lives in L.A. was a private eye. Spacey’s sardonicism would make a great late-period Philip Marlowe (in a remake of The Little Sister, say). Like Marlowe, Carter has a fateful mystery of his own to solve. And as in the case of Raymond Chandler’s mysteries, the real killer is the city of Los Angeles itself. The dry, coyotehaunted hills, the smoggy sunrises and the affably brutal way people treat each other form the background for this comedy-drama. Taking up the bum’s life—as Carter does, smoking herb in the parking lot—is a natural reaction to all that frenzied ambition. But the life-affirming, everything-to-all-people script keeps introducing new characters until, at the end, he is forced to act with all the aplomb of a man herding cats.

Yes, there’s wit in Shrink. Playing a TV chat-show host, Gore Vidal pronounces the word “suicide” as if it were the name of a fine wine. Hard to imagine why a man that smart would have been so ill informed about his guest, though. Spacey’s look of groggy melancholy is a reliable getter of laughs, and one short scene of Burrows sitting and eating ice cream makes up for a lot of heavy life affirmation in this tangled, tangled web Pate weaves.

Richard von Busack SHRINK (R; 110 min.), directed by Jonas Pate, written by Thomas Moffett, photographed by Lukas Ettlin and starring Kevin Spacey, Mark Webber and Saffron Burrows, opens July 31 in San Jose at Camera 3.

Gay for a Day The brothers are doing it for art and for themselves in ‘Humpday’

W

HAT IF the famous moment in Superbad had gone further, with Jonah Hill pushing something more tumid than his finger at something more intimate than Michael Cera’s nose? Or if the massage at the end of Old Joy had gone for the famous happy ending? Lynn Shelton’s odd sitcom Humpday starts where bromance comedy leaves off. In Seattle, the very married Ben (Mark Duplass) is scheduling his lovemaking with his sweet, placid and equally plump wife, Anna (Alycia Delmore).

Sessions are timed for optimum egg delivery: “We’ve removed the goalie,” he says. At 2 in the morning on the eve of one procreation session, the doorbell rings; it’s Ben’s dear old friend Andrew (Joshua Leonard), who is dropping in without calling first.

Andrew has just arrived from southern Mexico. He is a raffish, bearded Pan disturbing this domestic bliss; for the next couple of days, he crashes in what’s going to be the baby’s room. Later, he picks up a girl and heads to her party house, a place named “Dionysus.” Ben wanders in for a fast drink and doesn’t wander out until 3am. During a night of drinking, smoking and trance music, one of the women mentions an underground porn film festival. Trying to think of something extreme enough to win, the two lads decide that a film of very straight men having gay sex would be a winner. “Beyond gay,” they call it.

Because Ben wants his pal to know that he isn’t a bourgeois sell-out, he won’t back down during the hung-over day after. But he is naturally too scared to tell Anna about his plan. Some farcical misunderstandings lead up to a fateful rendezvous at the Holiday Inn. The wooliness of Humpday adds to the appeal; it also adds to the film’s downfall. Watching one half-muffed line after another dissolving into nervous laughter, I thought that the film’s idea had been shaped, maybe just not the scenes. But later, the ideas seem elusive, too. Andrew is supposedly just spinning his wheels by teaching art in Chiapas, but why is that not worthwhile? Making this porn is going to be the art project that proves he can finish something he started. Ben’s participation will give him the cred to finally tell his buddy, “You’re not as Kerouac as you think you are.” And Anna’s permission will prove that she’s not Betty Crocker either.

It’s unclear what role lust plays in all of this. Eventually, watching the two men grapple, get queasy and call for time-outs, made me wonder: had director Shelton thought of Humpday as a statement about how so much porn is made under conditions of almost total sexual disinterestedness? It seems to be a little more straight-laced than that, even. If Humpday has earned more attention than most mumblecore, maybe it’s because the film ultimately doesn’t disturb the status quo in anything—either male friendships or marriages. The most composed and affectionate shots are of monogamous bliss—the images of Anna and Ben’s home. The movie is a bait and switch on the level of James Toback’s similar Two Girls and a Guy. In a world full of brave and interesting homemade porn—art, smut or what have you—Humpday is not as Jack Kerouac as it thinks it is.

Richard von Busack HUMPDAY (R; 95 min.), directed and written by Lynn Shelton, photographed by Benjamin Kasulke and starring Mark Duplass and Joshua Leonard, opens July 31 at CinéArts Santana Row.

A Crüe Interest A new wave of heavy metal is taking the valley by storm

By Garrett Wheeler

Ds f!Gftu!3!Uivstebz/!

N THE EARLY ’90s, a rock band from San Jose resurrected a timeless heavymetal formula: slow, detuned guitar riffs plunged into darkness alongside ghostly vocal howls, all set to a painfully lumbering drum beat.

Sound familiar? It should— this was the blueprint used by the high priests of heavy metal themselves, Black Sabbath, circa 1968. Only this time, a South Bay power-trio called Sleep, led by guitarist Matt Pike, was creating music even slower and heavier.

As Sleep, along with a handful of equally menacing bands, began creating a stir in the music press, a new vocabulary surfaced. Strange amalgamations like sludge rock, doom rock and stoner metal appeared in newspaper and magazine articles, and many wondered which of these groups would be the first to taste the fruits of mainstream success. And then, suddenly, it all but vanished.

Steamrolled by grunge, the burgeoning fleet of slothful metal bands was swept under the music industry’s rug.

Sleep’s demise in 1997 could

have signaled the final breath of the era. But a year later, Pike began jamming in his garage with drummer Des Kensel and Dear Deceased bassist George Rice.

Within months, the new group began exploring a path that strayed from Sleep’s sluggish brutality, culminating in a sound that was equally gargantuan, but faster, and fiercer. Pike and company named their new band High on Fire; a new movement of heavy metal was under way.

Meanwhile, in the decade between Metallica’s rise to heavymetal monarchy in the late ’80s and High on Fire’s garage sessions, a slew of other metal factions arose: black metal, death metal, classic metal.

Despite the runaway success of the nü-metal trend led by Korn and Linkin Park, a new crop of talented groups is bringing back the spirit of metal’s originators. Though High on Fire is still looking for a big-hit breakthrough, Austin, Texas–based the Sword found one when its song “Freya” made its way into the video game Guitar Hero II. Likewise, Aussie retro-metal act Wolfmother’s selftitled debut album won a Grammy,

and the Atlanta-based prog-metal outfit Mastodon’s fourth album is selling like well-marketed hotcakes.

The Bay Area, always a hotbed of heavy-metal talent, has spawned a variety of bands that are combining the best elements of ’70s metal with their own unique embellishments.

Among the brightest and heaviest of these young metal bands is Santa Cruz’s Archer (performing July 31 at the Brookdale Lodge), led by the face-melting guitar work of frontman Dylan Rosenburg.

Closer to home, San Jose’s Desecrater (Aug. 16 at the Avalon in Santa Clara) mixes thrash, death metal and classic metal into a dizzying array of hard-rock mayhem.

Across the bay, Oakland-based Saviours play their own blistering version of modern heavy metal. In San Francisco, sludge-titans Black Cobra (performing July 30 at Thee Parkside) might just be the heaviest band on the West Coast, combining bone-crushing doom metal with the hardest of rock.

Besides locals, there are a few notable shows by touring bands coming up—biggest of all, Crüe Fest 2 on July 30 at Shoreline

Amphitheatre. Eighties hair-metal gods Mötley Crüe headline, with Dallas-based metal group Drowning Pool, alternative metal band Godsmack, 16 Second Stare and Canadian hard rock group Theory of a Deadman also performing.

Also on July 31 (at the VooDoo Lounge) is the Baptized in Beer Tour featuring the relentless riffage of Bison B.C. along with Lazarus and Woe of Tyrants. And from the sludge-rock side of the spectrum are the Melvins, who storm the stage at the Blank Club on Aug. 7. You can also treat yourself to a full night of prog-metal madness on Aug. 29 as San Jose’s own Pericardium headlines a gig at the Venue with Heavy Water Experiments and Strobehead sharing the bill.

The future of heavy metal is as uncertain as the changing winds of popular music itself, but there’s little doubt that the next wave of metal bands will continue the tradition birthed by Birmingham, England’s Black Sabbath and the original Prince of Darkness. Whoever carries the shadowy torch into the next decade will surely harness the force of all that is heavy. M

Clearly, honesty is the second-best policy, right behind leaping up to get one’s jaw wired shut when one is tempted to take a little trip down memory lane—to the corner of it, anyway—and tell the girlfriend about the good old days, back when $20 still bought you somebody.

Your boyfriend apparently got so wrapped up in reminiscing that he forgot to check your face for a look of horror—his cue to start an Olympic-style backpedal: “. . . and I took one look at that skanky ho, sped home, made hot cocoa and read the collected Beatrix Potter!” Actually, he probably wasn’t scoring drive-by sex from whichever meth-head in hotpants was working the alley; he most likely found a number in the paper or on a website for an escort—essentially a gold digger with an advertising budget.

Retired escort-turned-author Amanda Brooks explains the difference in The Internet Escort’s Handbook, Book 2: “If you are selling your time, undivided attention, and the (unspoken) offer of sexual entertainment, you’re an escort.

If you’re selling a specific sexual activity for a certain amount of money, you’re a prostitute. If you won’t have sex with the man you’re dating unless he buys you an expensive dinner, you’re a (relatively cheap) prostitute.”

The truth is, to a guy, a hooker isn’t all that different from a hookup. Men can have sex without knowing where a woman grew up, what her sign is, and all the ways her cat is like a dog. Men ask about that stuff because women typically require some emotional connection before they’ll get it on. But, unless a guy’s seeking something girlfriend-y, all he really needs to know is: Is she hot, free around 8, and will she take the credit card he gets frequent flyer miles on?

Society and religion say it’s wrong to pay for sex, but maybe it’s worse to do what a lot of guys do: fool girls into thinking they’re up for commitment when they only want to use ‘em and lose ’em. Your boyfriend, on the other hand, was honest. He had a need, and he paid to fill it: Cash and Carrie (and Candeee, Tifani and Jazmin, too)! It’s natural that you’d feel threatened. Throughout history, women have made men pay for sex with commitment. If strings-free sexcapades are so readily available to your boyfriend, what hold could you possibly have? Well, just read your words above. Your boyfriend’s sex acts six years back don’t seem to impact how he lives today, except maybe in how grateful he is for the happy ending—the kind a guy just can’t buy, no matter how many hundreds he stacks on the dresser.

=dl hjXXZhh[ja VgZ gZaVi^dch]^eh l]ZgZ i]Z ldbVc ^h bjX] daYZg4 >Éb V '&"nZVg"daY \jn l^i] V (-"nZVg"daY \^ga[g^ZcY# >Éb [gZfjZcian ]^i dc VcY iZVhZY Wn ]Zg [ZbVaZ [g^ZcYh# I]Zn YdcÉi hZZb ^ciZgZhiZY ^c bZ Vh V eZghdc Wji lVci V ndjc\Zg \jn [dg hZm# 7Z^c\ gZ[ZggZY id Vh Èi]Z idnÉ ^h \Zii^c\ daY# Å6ccdnZY Age difference? What age difference?

Meanwhile, your girlfriend isn’t sure whether to offer you a cigarette after sex or a plate of animal crackers. It’s the rare 21-year-old who has much to tell a 38-yearold, beyond “Your shoulder’s putting my arm to sleep.” Sure, there are older-younger relationships that work, but you two don’t have a relationship; you have playdates.

How do I know? Because friends don’t

hit on friends’ boyfriends so easily. Yeah, it happens. But, when it happens with frequency, it’s a sign of how your partner feels—and talks—about you. If you want a relationship, that’s what you should have.

Just find some sweet girl closer to your own age; in other words, somebody more likely to draw hearts around your name than straws to see who’s next in line to play with her toy.

pool of longing yet? Are you a perfumed garden of madly blooming purple explosions? Are you throbbing and gooey and half-nauseous with that delicious sickness some people called love? If not, I don’t know what to tell you. By all astrological reckoning your gut should be swarming with drunk butterflies and the clouds should be taking on the shapes of mating horses. If you’re not halfdrowning in these symptoms, I implore you to find a way to pry open the floodgates.

IVjgjh (April 20–May 20): You’re primed to

cancel a jinx in the coming days, Taurus. You could help someone (maybe even yourself ) escape a bewitchment, and you might be able to soothe a wound that has been festering for a long time.

In fact, I’m playing with the fantasy that you are now the living embodiment of a lucky charm. At no other time in recent memory have you had so much power to reverse the effects of perverse karma, bad habits and just plain negative vibes.

Your hands and eyes are charged with good medicine. Other parts of you are, too, which means sexual healing could be in the works. But as you embark on your mission to cure everyone you love, remember the first law of the soul doctor: “Physician, heal thyself.”

<Zb^c^ (May 21–June 20): The Norwegians

used to have a concept called svoermere, which meant something sweetly futile or deliciously unprofitable. While I can see the appeal that your particular version of svoermere has had for you, Gemini, I think it’s time to think about moving on. According to my reading of the omens, you have both a right and a duty to seek out more constructive pleasures that not only make you feel really good but also serve your long-term goals.

Business BusinessListings Listings

8VcXZg ( June 21–July 22): It’s Freedom from Want Week! For Cancerians only! During this uncanny grace period, you might actually feel perfectly contented. It’s quite possible that you’ll be free from the obsession to acquire more security, more love, more proof of your greatness, more tchotchkes, more everything. You may even make the shocking discovery that you don’t need nearly as much as you thought you did in order to be happy; that maybe you have a lot to learn about getting more out of what you already have.

AZd ( July 23–Aug. 22): Would you like to spend the next 30 years working your assets off to make your bosses rich? If not, I suggest you start formulating Plan B immediately. The astrological time is not exactly ripe to extricate yourself from the wicked game, but it’s ripe to begin scheming and dreaming about how to extricate yourself. Here’s a tip to get you in the mood. Assume that there’s some validity in the meme that mythologist Joseph Campbell articulated: “Follow your bliss and the money will come.” Then ask yourself, “Do I even know what my bliss is? Not my mild joy or diversionary fun but my unadulterated bliss?” Once you know that, you can follow it. And then, inevitably—although it may take a while—the money will follow.

K^g\d (Aug. 23–Sept. 22): As the season of riddles and paradoxes kicks into high gear, I present you with a two-part quiz. Question 1: Since it has taken you your whole life to become the person you are today, is it reasonable to expect that you can transform yourself in a flash? Question 2: On the other hand, since you are more creative than you give yourself credit for, and are also in an astrological phase when your ability to change is greater than usual, is it reasonable to assume that you must remain utterly stuck in your old ways of doing things?

A^WgV (Sept. 23–Oct. 22): So much to say and do. So little time. Is it OK if I pepper you with pithy hints?

It’s the only way to fit everything in. Here goes.

There’s strength in numbers, Libra. So travel in packs. Round up support and whip up group fervor.

Always say “we,” not “I.” Add at least one new friend and bolster at least one old friendship. Think before you act, but always act instead of watching from afar. Avoid doing stupid things in smart ways. To court good luck, do charity work. To ensure that extra favors will come your way later this year, do extra favors now.

HXdge^d (Oct. 23–Nov. 21): The biblical book of

Isaiah prophesies a future time of undreamed-of harmony and cooperation. “The wolf will romp

with the lamb,” reads one translation. “Cow and bear will graze in the same pasture, their calves and cubs will grow up together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox.” I have it on good astrological authority that you’re now eligible for a preview of this paradisiacal state. To receive your free introductory offer, you need only meet one condition. You must vow not to harm any living thing—not even a cockroach. Not even the person you love best.

HV\^iiVg^jh (Nov. 22–Dec. 21): You Sagittarians

are famous for filling your cups too full. Sometimes this is cute. Sometimes it’s a problem for those who don’t like cabernet sauvignon sloshed on their handwoven Persian rugs. This week, however, I predict there will be little or no hell to pay for overflowing. So go ahead and transcend your containers, you beautiful exaggerators. Feel free to express yourself like a fire hose. Now enjoy a few gems from your fellow Sagittarius, the extravagant poet and painter William Blake.

1. “The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom.”

2. “Exuberance is beauty.” 3. “The lust of the goat is the bounty of God.” 4. “You never know what is enough unless you know what is more than enough.”

8Veg^Xdgc (Dec. 22–Jan. 19): Constant vigilance,

my friend. That’s what I advise. Be attentive to details you sometimes gloss over. Wake up a little earlier and prepare for each encounter with greater forethought. Stare a little harder into the hearts of all those whose hidden motivations might detour your destiny. Monitor every communication for hints that all is not as it seems. Most importantly, guard against the possibility that you may be overlooking a gift or blessing that’s being offered to you in an indirect way.

6fjVg^jh ( Jan. 20–Feb. 18): “Keep exploring what

it takes to be the opposite of who you are,” suggests psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, author of the book Creativity: Flow and the Psychology of Discovery and Invention. This advice is one of his ideas about how to get into attunement with the Tao, also known as being in the zone or getting in the groove or being aligned with the great cosmic flow. How would you go about being the opposite of who you are, Aquarius? According to my reading of the omens, that will be an excellent question for you to muse about in the coming weeks. As you stretch yourself to embody the secret and previously unknown parts of you, I think you’ll be pleased with how much more thoroughly that allows you to be in sync with the rhythms of life.

E^hXZh (Feb. 19–March 20): Internet addiction

has risen to epidemic proportions in China. In early 2009, psychologists in Shandong province began offering an alleged cure that involved the use of electro-shock therapy. Parents of 3,000 young people paid Dr. Yang Yongxin and his team over $800 a month to hook their anesthetized teens up to machines that sent electricity through their brains to induce artificial seizures. After four months, the Chinese government intervened and halted the treatment, noting that there was no evidence it worked. This practice might sound comically barbaric to you, but I think it has a certain resemblance to the way you have been dealing with your own flaws and excesses: with inordinate force. In the coming weeks, I really think it’s important not to punish yourself for any reason, Pisces, even if it’s in a supposedly good cause. The lesson of the Chinese experiment is: not only is it overkill, it also doesn’t even have the desired effect.

G#># Careful, bud. Thinking outside the box is great, but we don’t want to cross the border into the completely insane. That’s a chronic risk with continental drift, talk of which was a sure way to clear out your end of the bar at scientific conferences until the 1950s and which still inspires wacky theories. Asteroids don’t figure in any of those I’ve heard about—but wait till you get a load of the expanding earth.

The most famous early proponent of continental drift, German geophysicist Alfred Wegener, was received skeptically when he proposed his theory in 1912, partly because he couldn’t explain what might cause giant landmasses to move around. Expandingearth advocates thought they could. They posited that once upon a time the earth had been much smaller and was completely encased in the supercontinent we now call Pangaea. Volcanic activity caused the planet to expand, cracking Pangaea apart like the shell of a boiled egg and leading to the eventual scattering of the continents.

Obvious objection: Where was all the extra volume that went into the expanding earth supposed to be coming from? Was the earth rising like a cake in the oven?

Some proponents claimed the expansion was a result of a reduction in the universal gravitational constant or of the creation of new matter in the planet’s core by some strange subatomic process; others just insisted by various proofs that the earth was expanding for reasons unknown. But it wasn’t, and isn’t. Precise measurements have now established that the earth hasn’t enlarged appreciably since the era of the dinosaurs.

Claims to the contrary aren’t taken seriously by scientists.

If a once-smaller earth doesn’t explain why the continents were all smushed together at one point, what does? We’ll get to that. The main thing to understand is that the earth has been in a constant if extremely slow froth for much of its 4.6 billion-year existence— Pangaea, thought to have existed 250 million years ago, wasn’t the first supercontinent and won’t be the last. Conjectured predecessors include Ur (3 billion years ago), Kenorland (2.7 to 2.5 billion), Columbia (1.9 to 1.8), Rodinia (1.1) and Gondwana (540 million

years ago). The constant shuffling arises from the fact that the hard outer shell of our planet floats atop a region of flowing molten rock, allowing the continents to skate along at the rate of 1 to 2 inches per year. The chief engine of plate tectonics, as this process is called, is the seafloor. At the midocean ridges, molten rock pushes up from below, causing the floor to expand laterally. Meanwhile, closer to the coasts, the edges of the floor get shoved below the continental plates in a process called subduction. Because of this, very little of the seafloor is more than 200 million years old, while parts of the continents are older than 4 billion years.

Why do we get supercontinents periodically? Some suggest that the continents are drawn together by zones in the earth where the seafloor is pulled down into the lower mantle in a process called superdownwelling, drifting toward the suction like rubber ducks in a draining bathtub till they collide. Why do supercontinents later break apart? One theory is that the oversize landmass traps so much heat beneath it that the crust ultimately cracks open. Another idea is that crustrending “superplumes” of hot magma roil up from the spots where the superdownwelling occurred. Same result either way: the big continent splits back into smaller ones.

What next? I found maps offering one vision of the future on the website of Christopher Scotese, a geologist at the University of Texas at Arlington. The highlights: about 50 million years from now Africa plows into Europe, about 150 million years from now Australia becomes one with Antarctica, and by about 250 million years from now another supercontinent has formed, with North and South America, Eurasia, and Africa in one giant clump. In short, the earth will stay lively, not that it’ll matter to us.
