VERIFIED AUDIT CIRCULATION

SNOWMOBILE SCOURGE I was overjoyed to read Michael Colby’s article entided “VAST & Furious” [“Left Field,” Jan. 22] in your wonderful publication. I can easily relate to the distress Mr. Colby exhibited in his article. I was born and raised in Vermont and have spent much o f my adolescence enjoying the nature o f this incredible state. I have always cross-country skied and snowshoed in the miles and miles o f woods and farmland behind my parents’ house in the town o f Monkton. Just this year, VAST has cut trails throughout the woods and farmland that I used to spend so much time on. N ow when I trek back into these woods, instead o f seeing deer and other wildlife, I see people o f all ages zipping around in flashy suits on their new sleds. The screaming sound and smell o f twostroke engines completely defeats the purpose o f experiencing nature. I’m real ly glad I’m not the only one who feels this way about this so-called “sport.”

Mike Horner JOHNSON SNOWMOBILE MENACE Kudos to Michael Colby on his recent “Snow Rage” article [“Left Field,” Jan. 22]. There are many o f us who are outraged at the noise, waste fulness, pollution and general invasive

ness o f snow machines, yet there seems to be very little backlash against them. How is it that they have come to have the “right” to invade our lives? W hy aren’t we doing something about it?

Terry Miller PEACHAM SNOWMOBILE FACTS Verbal bomb throwers like environ mental columnist Michael Colby serve a useful function, I suppose, in offer ing viewpoints contrary to convention al wisdoms. The only trouble is when wild opinions veer off and smash into the inconvenient world o f facts and journalistic accuracy. In his recent rant against snow mobiling [“Left Field,” Jan. 22], Mr. Colby exhibits high dudgeon that the Vermont Association o f Snow Travelers (VAST) receives $799,000 in state fund ing for “environmental improvement”... The truth is, VAST is completely selffunded; that money is a simply a pass through o f snowmobile registration fees and some gas taxes VAST gets for run ning its trails program, overseen by the Agency o f Natural Resources. Sorry, nothing nefarious there. Regarding snowmobiles ruining his day by running on the roads, select men often authorize snowmobile clubs to use certain stretches o f town high ways for trail crossings or access. This is totally legal. If he’s got a problem with that, his beef is with his tow n ... As far as those horrendous pollution figures he cites from the California Air Resources Board, they’ve been totally outdated and discredited for years. The EPA issued comprehensive new snow mobile emissions regulations in 2002

based on real tailpipe tests o f today’s sophisticated snowmobile engines. You’d think Mr. Colby would be up to date on that, but his opinions sound much better using the outdated... 1999 the EPA “estimates” o f 1.1 million tons o f hydro carbons. The less damning, actual scien tific tests the EPA conducted revealed the figure is around 200,000 tons.., I w on’t argue that snowmobiles remain controversial and worthy o f opinion. But along with “taking back the w oods,” we might ask Mr. Colby to take back all the erroneous “facts” he bases his opinions on. (And by the way, no, I am not a snowmobiler.)

Andrew Nemethy ADAMANT DEVOTED DEM I thought that the article by David Mace on the Democrats and Progres sives [“Estranged Bedfellows, Jan. 29] was excellent. Thanks for publishing it. Quotes from the leading Progressives did illustrate why a lot o f us are frus trated with that party. Mayor Clavelle was quoted as say ing, “Most people in this country, even more so in Vermont, are on the politi cal spectrum in the center or left o f center.” Unfortunately, this is just not true o f the country and not a wholly accurate view o f Vermont. Surveys con sistently sho,w that the U.S. public is more conservative than liberal... The Progressives’ tendency to overestimate the liberalism o f the public is a source o f frustration to Democrats because it leads them to underestimate the need for moderate candidates to appeal to a large enough segment o f the public in order to win elections.

I was interested in [the] article about the Progressive and Democratic parties [“Estranged Bedfellows,” Jan. 29]. I’m glad you mentioned how diffi cult it is to build a political movement outside o f the two major parties. It’s obvious from looking around the U.S, that what’s happened here in Vermont is unique, and we’re lucky to have a truly independent political party to broaden the debate. Still, I was surprised to notice, from an independent newspaper like Seven Days, the tone that the Progressives are closing in on territory righdy “claimed” by the Democrats. Since when do either the Democrats or Republicans own democracy? The idea that Progressives have to behave in a way that doesn’t upset the Democrats is ridiculous. So long as the Democrats continue to move a^yay from representing the needs o f regular working folks, we need the Progressives. Their message and their vision is distina from the Democrats’ and I, for one, am proud to have a viable, alternative option when I go into the voting booth.

account. Resmer devotes the first two entire paragraphs, out o f five total, to an individual in attendance who apparently was peddling a political newspaper — which is about as rele vant as describing, say, the fashion sense o f the media who were present. Resmer then focuses on criticizing the Vermont union workers who wel comed Hector G iraldo... [who] talked about the similarities with the struggles o f workers in Vermont with that o f our counterparts in Colombia. She totally missed the point o f making the Vermont connection... N o one was trying to say that workers in Vermont face the same danger o f being lined up and shot for organizing as Colombian workers do. The p oin t... was to illus trate that Colombian workers are mur dered for engaging in the same strug gles for decent wages and union recog nition that Vermont workers engage in, and in this way help people here under stand the Colombian struggle better. ... I and others came away with a deeper understanding o f workers’ struggles throughout the Americas, the need for solidarity across borders, the need to fight the Free Trade Area o f the Americas (FTAA) and the complic ity o f the U.S. government with the murderous activity o f the Colombian paramilitary against the people there. Unfortunately, Seven Days came away with the need to criticize local people who were educating themselves and others about these wrongdoings and the need to mobilize against them.

BY PETER FREY AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT FOLfTICS

Douglas C o n q u ers Fletcher Allen an d B ernie? ust one week after yours truly questioned whether anyone expected Vermont’s new Republican governor to jump into the Fletcher Allen fray and hold the trustees’ feet to the fire, Jim Douglas did precisely that. To say the least, a whole lot of people were stunned. Jim Douglas plays Douglas

MacArthur? Wow! In a display of more backbone than he’s ever shown before, Gov. Rambo, er, Jimbo publicly called for the scalps of all of the well-heeled Mary Fanny trustees, who did nothing to prevent the biggest scandal in Vermont history. And three hours later, Board Chair Louise McCarren announced that all the Renaissance-tainted trustees, except her, had resigned. But what put the lead in Jim Douglas’ pencil? After all, everyone knows that until last Thursday he’d pretty much washed his hands of the FAHC Renaissance scandal. Wouldn’t touch it with a 10-foot pole. Why the sudden change? It’s fundamentally a two-word answer:

Bernie Sanders. Since last fall, Congressman Sanders has made the Fletcher Allen scandal his pet Vermont issue. He called for the trustees to resign months ago. He formed his own Fletcher Allen Task Force and had plans to take Montpelier by storm. Sources tell Seven Days that Mr. Douglas and his astute political advisors could read the writing on the wall. The possibility that OF Bernardo was going to turn his Fletcher Allen Task Force into a “Sanders for Governor” campaign in 2004 got their undivided attention. Two weekends ago, sources say, Gov. Douglas and FAHC interim-CEO Ed Colodny began talking regularly. That led to last Wednesday’s meeting in the Guv’s ofFice, attended by representatives of the four entities that own and operate Vermont’s largest hospital. Douglas dropped the bomb — the trustees must go! Clearly, sources say, if Ed Colodny had a problem with that, he never once men tioned it to the governor. In fact, we’re told, Gov. Douglas’ call for the trustees to take a powder was exactly what Colodny wanted but was unable to achieve on his own. After all, Mr. Ed works for the board of trustees. He can’t advise his bosses to resign. It’s just not kosher. When Sanders was asked if he thinks Gov. Douglas’ sudden 180-degree reversal on FAHC was a reaction to his full-frontal assault, he just smiled. Bernie will be at the Statehouse Thurs day. He’s scheduled to testify in the House and Senate and meet with Gov. Douglas. He told Seven Days this week that replacing the current trustees isn’t enough. “If all we do is replace old faces with new faces,” said Sanders, “nothing will real ly change.” Ol’ Bernardo will lead the charge for “fundamental changes in the way the institution is governed.” -Around the Statehouse, however, the conventional wisdom is that Jim Douglas has taken the wind out of Bernie Sanders’ sail. Checkmate?

Stay tuned.

Providence Exposure — The Renaissance scandal at Fletcher Allen Health Care has been big news in Vermont. Deservedly so. But outside of Vermont it’s received little notice. That is, until the recent editorial in the Providence Journal titled “Vermont’s hospital disaster.” For some reason, the Providence Journal editorial page does not think the responsi bility for the scandal rests with former CEO Bill Boettcher and his band of merry men. Nor does it think the board of trustees is to blame. Nope. Instead, without presenting one shred of evidence, the largest paper in Rhode Island suggests it’s all former Gov. Howard Dean’s fault. No kidding. Dig the lead: “Many people believe that the presiden tial aspirations of Howard Dean, Vermont’s former governor, will come a cropper owing to his support of that state’s gay marriage law. However, his administration’s handling of a hospital expansion in Burlington may be a greater issue.” The Journal editorial lays out the sordid details about how Boettcher & Co. con cealed over $200 million in Renaissance project costs from state regulators. It con cludes Ho-Ho should be blamed because it happened on his watch. But it begs the bigger question: Why is a Rhode Island newspaper blaming Howard Dean for the Mary Fanny scandal? Seven Days has learned that Journal Editorial Page Editor Bob Whitcomb has an interesting Vermont connection. We learned from sources that Mr. Whitcomb has an old college buddy in Vermont named Josh Fitzhugh. Mr. Fitzhugh, an attorney, is currently legal counsel for Union Mutual Insurance on State Street in Montpelier. And Josh has close ties to the Douglas administration. You see, Josh’s lovely wife, Wibs McClain, is Gov. Douglas’ new Secretary of Natural Resources. The pair met during the brief Richard Snelling administration in 1991. Josh was Gov. Snelling’s legal counsel and Wibs was chief of staff. According to Mr. Whitcomb, he and Fitzhugh are old buddies. They graduated Dartmouth together in 1970. And Whitcomb confirmed that Fitzhugh “did feed me some of this.” Whitcomb told Seven Days that he’s not suggesting Howard Dean “did anything wrong,” as far as the Mary Fanny scandal goes, but rather, Dean “didn’t do enough.” Mr. Fitzhugh did not return our call Tuesday. Obviously, George W. Bush does have a few faithful friends in Vermont.

Necktie Party Paul Connick-Jr., the district attorney for Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, reprimanded two assistant dis trict attorneys for attending a hearing in a capital murder case wearing ties decorated with a hangman’s noose and the Grim Reaper. Defense attorney Clive Stafford Smith accused Donnie Rowan and Cameron Mary of making light of the possibility that his client could get the death penalty if convicted. “They were a joke,” Connick explained, “although a poor joke.” Cracking Down California’s Valley College imposed a speed limit of 4 mph for wheelchairs on campus. “It’s a safety issue, pure and simple,” said Tom Jacobsmeyer, vice president of administra tion, who proposed the rule after seeing a student nearly hit by a woman “going very fast” in a wheelchair. Violators will receive a warning, but repeat offenders risk being cited, suspended or expelled. Airport Security to the Rescue Four months after having abdominal surgery, a Canadian woman was suffering from persistent stom achaches, but doctors didn’t know why until she set off a metal detector at the airport in Regina, Saskatchewan. Despite repeated scans, security guards couldn’t find any metal on her body. A few days later the woman had an X-ray, which revealed a 12-inch long surgical retractor that had been left in her abdomen during the operation.

Beating Alzheimer's Engineers at Microsoft’s Media Presence lab in San Francisco said they are developing multimedia databases that chronicle people’s life events and make them searchable. “Imagine being able to run a Google-like search on your life,” Gordon Bell, one of the developers, told New Scientist maga zine. The venture, dubbed the MyLifeBits project, aims to create a surrogate brain that will overcome the whims of human memory and become an accurate reposi tory for most of our experiences. “Users will eventually be able to keep every doc ument they read, every picture they view, all the audio they hear and a good por tion of what they see,” said Microsoft’s Jim Gemmell. The system will require abundant computer memory, but the researchers calculate that within five years, a 1000-gigabyte hard drive — enough to store four hours of video every day for a year — will cost less than $300. Gotta Dance Authorities fined a British pub chain $7850 after undercover inspectors caught patrons at two of its popular bars violating licensing laws that forbid “rhythmic moving.” Another pub was served two written warnings when customers were observed “swaying.” The movements were determined to constitute dancing, which is banned in pubs without public entertainment licenses. “We have spent ages trying to stop people dancing,” insisted Derek Andrews, a representative of the owners of the Pitcher & Piano chain, which pleaded guilty to the offenses in London. “We have signs up everywhere.

S o w W h a t? he Bush administration’s proposed war on Iraq isn’t the only reason Europeans are wary of the U.S. these days. They’re also worried about our genetically modified food. The new vision of the “ugly Ameri can” in Europe has missiles in one hand and tainted edibles in the other. For nearly a decade, U.S.-based corpo rations have led the charge in the produc tion and promotion of foods that are com monly referred to as genetically modified organisms, or GMOs. Agribusiness giants such as Monsanto and Novartis have

Concerns about genetically modified foods range from the potential health and environmental dangers to the ethical considerations of playing creationist. played piix-and-match with the genetic makeup of all kinds of plants and animals, resulting in a host of novel creations. It all started with Monsanto’s rBGH, the bovine growth hormone that was largely embraced by Vermont’s dairy farmers to boost milk production. Bioengineers then moved into genetically altering seeds to withstand pes ticide applications, and animals to make them grow fatter, faster. The Biotechnology Information Council estimates 75 percent of the soy beans and 34 percent of the corn grown in the U.S. originate from altered seeds. The European Union steadfastly refuses to allow these or any GMOs in. Concerns range from the potential health and envi ronmental dangers to the ethical considera tions of playing creationist. Proponents of GMOs counter with largely unsubstantiated claims that all this gene splicing and dicing will feed the hun gry, cut back on agrochemical use and even cure diseases. That last whopper comes from those who want to use GMOs as car riers for vaccines — a notion that has caused a vicious split within the biotech community itself. Here in Vermont, roughly 10 percent of the feed com is genetically altered. Since the milk supply is “pooled,” it can be assumed that all the non-organic milk in Vermont contains some rBGH. Groups such as the Institute for Social Ecology and the Vermont Genetic Engineering Action Network are stoking the activist flames. This week, both groups will be hosting a speaking tour by Percy Schmeiser, the man who has become the poster-farmer for GMO opposition. The twisted tale of this Western Canadian canola farmer puts a much-deserved spotlight on the corporate malfeasance and genetic pollution that go along with growing GMOs. In 1998, Schmeiser was minding his own business, cultivating canola like he’s done for the last 53 years on his Saskatchewan farm. That is, until the

Monsanto Corporation filed a lawsuit against him for “stealing” its genetically altered Roundup Ready canola seed. Before Schmeiser could say “not guilty,” he was thrust into a classic David-versus-Goliath struggle that continues to this day. In court, Schmeiser and his lawyers were cornered into the nearly impossible situation of proving he didn’t steal the canola that had tested positive for contain ing elements of Monsanto’s patented ver sion. The Saskatchewan farms surrounding Schmeiser’s were loaded with Monsanto’s genetically modified canola and, as he con tends, the pollen could have easily drifted over and contaminated his fields. Monsanto’s bullying of Schmeiser was just the first of many international attempts to scare the wits out of farmers. For the mega-corporation to make money on its modified seeds, it must prevent the age-old farming tradition of saving seeds from one growing season to another and instead force farmers to purchase new seeds every year. Monsanto didn’t anticipate Schmeiser’s persistence in fighting back and turning his situation into an international campaign against GMOs. Monsanto also didn’t real ize that the key to Schmeiser’s defense — pollen drift — would quickly become the Achilles heel of the biotechnology industry. Soon enough, other farmers, including organic ones, began to notice the effects of GMO pollen drift. For example, Minnesota organic farmers Susan and Mark Fitzgerald lost thousands of dollars on their com crop when it was contami nated by a neighbor’s genetically altered version. Schmeiser sees his case and the brewing battle over GMOs as an ugly collision of property rights and patent law. He lost his first round in court. But the fight’s not over; Schmeiser has filed an appeal to Canada’s Supreme Court, hoping that the increased evidence of genetic drift since his lower-court loss will sway the top court in his favor. He’s not putting all his eggs in one legal basket, though: Schmeiser is also waging an international public relations war against Monsanto and other GMO propo nents. His speaking tour through Vermont this month is part of his attempt to spread the word about genetic drift and the numerous dangers of GMO crops to both farmers and consumers. His Vermont stops this week come at just the right time for anti-bioengineering activists. On Vermont’s Town Meeting Day — Tuesday, March 4 — dozens of towns will decide whether to just say no to GMO. After getting whacked by Mon santo, Schmeiser is helping to sow the seeds of GMO discontent. ® For more information about Percy Schmeisers Vermont speaking tour, call the Institute far Social Ecology at 454-7138.

This week, as always, the things she likes (shown in CAPITAL letters) allfollow a secret rule. Can you figure out what it is? (Note: Fickle Fannie likes words. But each week she likes something different about them— how they’re spelled how they sound, how they look, what they mean, or what’s inside them.) In APRIL, MAY and JUNE, Fannie plays the hostess and invites people over. Bafflingly eccentric as always, she has everyone pay a PENNY at the door. Before dinner, she serves each guest an entire quart of SHERRY. On the table she sets out CRYSTAL glasses, each studded with a RUBY. In the floral centerpiece are a ROSE, a VIOLET, a LILY, a DAISY^ and an IR IS. Temptingly aromatic, the spring lamb is flavored with GINGER and ROSEMARY. The dinner conversation addresses the themes of FAITH, HOPE and CHARITY. After dinner she serves each guest an entire quart of BRANDY. "That was a real LULU," says one of the guests, barely able to keep her balance. As the guests leave, they happen to notice a ROBIN copulating with an ORIOLE.

D o c to rs ’ O rd e rs ? ell, how about that — a “preemptive” peace strike! I refer to the world outpouring of opposition to Bushs war on Iraq and the glorious sound of protest over the weekend. It doesn’t matter if you take the higher or lower estimates of the crowds. They were huge either way — multitudes. “Let everyone recognize what has hap pened here today,” said “Red Ken” Living stone, Socialist mayor of London. “Britain does not support this war for oil. The British people will not tolerate being used to prop up the most corrupt and racist American administration in over 80 years.” Tony Blair is also a Socialist, at least in name, and while he’s sticking to a high moral pose and bugger-all belligerence, he’s sold his soul to the Devil and he knows it. “He’s almost damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t,” the BBC’s Mark Mardell reports: “Presumably the size of those marches do represent public opinion. He’ll be keeping a very close eye on the opinion polls.” I should think so. Imagine bucking those cowboys in Washington all by your self! Already Biair has confessed the obvious — “There will be more time given to inspections” — and acknowledged that whatever new war resolution the U.S. and

time.” Bush had already warned Saddam on February 4 that “time is running out,” in a repeat of what he said on January 14: “Like I said, time is running out.” When asked specifically how much time is run ning out for Saddam, Bush answered, leader-like, “I will let you know when the moment has come.” Beat that for manliness! Dr. Rice refuses to disclose exactly when the hostilities with Iraq will begin, but vows, “It is time for this to end, enough is enough.” An adviser to Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld adds that antiwar demonstrations are hav ing “zero influence” in the White House. “The basic attitude is that these people [war protestors] have facts that are wrong or that they simply believe certain things will happen when there’s no evidence of that,” says Martin Anderson, Rumsfeld’s man at the right-wing Hoover Institution in Palo Alto. “They say inspections will work. Well, that’s not what the record shows.” No, the record shows that Saddam Hussein couldn’t aim a peashooter at the United States without being stopped, and that he poses no “immediate threat” to any one. Whether or not Al-Qaeda does is a question now so muddled by disinformation,

When asked specifically how much tim e is running out for Saddam, Bush answered, leader-like, "I will let you know when the moment has come." Britain may submit to the United Nations will take some time to pull together. “If you slap down a piece of paper right away,” says a Downing Street spokesman, “it does n’t look like you were listening.” In fact, it looks like you weren’t listen ing, aren’t listening and will get a war no matter what. Blair is so far out on a limb he’s been reduced to moral idiocy: It would be “inhumane” to leave Saddam in place, he says, a dictator who’s killed “millions of his own people” and “runs his country like a butcher’s shop.” So instead of butchering them, we’ll bomb them. Very nice. In America, officially, it’s still about the weapons. “These are all tricks that are being played on us,” Colin Powell remarked on Friday, after U.N. arms inspectors reported that they have found “no weapons of mass destruction” in Iraq. “These are continued efforts to deceive, to deny, to divert, to throw us off the path.” This is paranoia, General, that’s what it is — Powell is looking so puny now they’ve had to call the doctors out. First, Dr. Condoleezza Rice, who tells “Meet the Press” that the U.S. is prepared to make war on Iraq with or without U.N. support, and that “the diplomatic window” won’t stay open for long — as if it’s ever really been opened. This has been the longest build-up to a foregone conclusion I can remember. “The game is over,” said Dubya on February 10, when told that Saddam Husseift had agreed to allow American U-2 surveillance flights over Iraqi airspace: “This is a man who is trying to stall for

colored alerts, White House lies and media spin that it’s fallen into the lap of Laura Bush, the First Lady, who thinks the media have paid too much attention to the danger. “All the many, many channels now and cable television are looking for viewers, and they do whatever they can to try to entice viewers,” Mrs. Bush told ABC News. “In some ways, I feel like we’re making people really nervous because everything is the same in an attempt to get people to watch.” Her interview ended cheerfully when she was asked directly about a “possi ble” U.S. attack on Iraq. “You know,” said Laura, “it hasn’t happened yet.” Dubya thinks Americans should just “go on with their lives” and let the experts han dle it. Dr. Frist, for example, Homeland Security’s own Deepak Chopra, tells us to calm down, “play cards, play bridge or take part in something that’s larger than just yourself. Exercise regularly, eat well and get a good night’s rest.” Meanwhile, USA Today reports that on the first day of war with Iraq America will fire “more cruise missiles than in all of Desert Storm,” along with “special weapons that have never been used before.” The U.N. warns of “humanitarian catastrophe” on an unknown scale, enormous casualties on an Iraqi population of which 50 percent are under the age of 15. War, I regret to say, is something larger than ourselves. ®

BY CECIL ADAMS A L L W O R T H W H IL E H U M A N K N O W L E D G E

Dear Cecil, I ’ve noticed that networks are always proud o f how many peo ple were watching their shows, as shown by the Nielsen ratings. Who is Nielsen, and how is he counting the 7.8 million people who were watching the latest reality show? How do they figure out what I ’m watching? I have a feeling they ask a few hundred thou sand people what they were watching and just say that therefore, statistically, x number o f people must’ve been watching. — Joe Marcus El Paso, Texas You’re one sharp cookie, Joe. Yes, Nielsen ratings are based on a representative sample — they don’t ask everybody in the country. The sample size isn’t a few hundred thousand people, though — for daily ratings, called “overnights,” it’s just 25,000 homes (5000 for national programming, 20,000 for local stations), which collectively are supposed to reflect the viewing habits o f 106 million U.S. households in 210 markets. That leaves a pretty wide margin for error, you might think, and you wouldn’t be the only one. Nielsen Media Research, an offspring o f the firm founded in 1923 by market research pioneer Arthur Nielsen, recendy began introducing new sampling technology that it hopes will depict local T V viewership with much greater accuracy. Early results have been controversial, mainly because, in highly simplified terms, they consist o f the following: Q: D o people actually watch all this crap? A: No. The modern ratings game began in 1942, when Nielsen introduced the Audimeter, the original “black box.” The Audimeter attached to a radio and recorded when it was switched on and what frequency it was tuned to. An updat ed version o f the Audimeter was used to monitor televisions starting in 1950. (Nielsen quit compiling radio ratings in 1964; that business is now dominated by Arbitron.) Black boxes had the advantage o f requiring no action by house

hold members but didn’t tell you who, if anyone, was pay ing attention to the set. To remedy this shortcoming, Nielsen also mailed out diaries to a completely different set o f participants, asking them to write down not only what they watched but who watched it. Diarists provided demographic detail black boxes didn’t, but at the expense o f reliability — people might err, forget or (horrors!) decide to jerk Nielsen arout Numerous improvements to rating technology have beer made over the years, the most important for our purposes being the People Meter, which Nielsen introduced in 1987. The People Meter has buttons that household members are supposed to push when they start or stop watching, providii demographic detail, and it is now used by the 5000 house holds who are the basis for national ratings. The old boxes a diaries are still used for local ratings in the 55 largest market (20,000 households). Smaller markets rely on diaries alone. Despite the changes, Nielsen reports T V viewership as always has, in terms o f rating and share. The rating for a given show is the percentage o f households with TVs that tuned in; the share is the percentage o f households with their TVs switched on that tune in. Data from meters (bo old and new) is transmitted by modem each night to a co puter center and compiled into a daily report; diaries are kept only during “sweeps m onths,” which in most markets are February, May, July and November. Since so much — ad rates, programming decisions — depends on ratings, during sweeps months both networks and local broadcasters flood the airwaves with special shov and reports, some pretty silly, in a transparent bid for viev ers. (My favorite line from a promo for a local news sped; in L.A.: “Adultery: Does it have merit?”) But sweeps may be on the way out. Nielsen wants to use the People Meter to generate local ratings and eventually hopes to eliminate diaries in larger metro areas. Broadcasters have resisted the new system, though, because it’s told them things they don’t want to hear. W hen introduced experimen tally in Boston in 2001, Local People Meters (LPMs) showed that cable viewing was higher and broadcast viewing lower than previously thought. More importandy, TV viewing ovei all was 8 percent lower than reported by the old system. Upc investigation, Nielsen concluded that half to two-thirds of th difference represented TVs that were on but unwatched. Advertisers found this news interesting, to say the least; broadcast T V executives choked. Network affiliates in Bosto have been slow to sign up for LPM-based ratings, but they don’t have much choice — the old meter/diary system has been discontinued there. Other cities will get LPMs soon. More innovations are in the offing, notably Portable People Meters (PPMs), pagerlike devices that record whatever TV, radio or streaming Internet programs surveyees watch or lis ten to, wherever they may be. PPM tests to date have show: higher TV-viewing rates than older methods did, not lower. For now, though, I like to imagine the missing 8 percent an taking a nap, playing with the kids or reading a good book.

G ro s s N a tio n a l P ro d u c ts ow many times has this happened to you? You’re relaxing in front of the television with, say, chips and a little bean dip before dinner when sud denly you find yourself gaping at a 27-inch backside while an announcer says, “Think Cottonelle clean... Its the only one designed with ripples to leave you feeling fresh, dry and con fidently clean!” There goes your appetite, right? Score another one for the advertising

and it’s a different story. Welcome to the brave new world of market ing designed to make you barf. On one page, women in an exercise class crouch suggestively, their pos teriors angled toward the lens beneath the words “Clean in a crowd.” On another, the phrase “Moist Wipes” appears directly below the gargantuan butt cheeks of a sumo wrestler, their fleshy expanse dissected by a thin thong of black

industry. Grossing you out is just Madison Avenue’s latest way of get ting your attention and, dinner time, prime time or any time, what you’re likely to see in a TV ad is getting grosser by the day. Remember when the makers of bathroom tissue built campaigns around selling points like double rolls, two-plys (whatever those are) and agreeable texture? We’re cur rently at a marketing crossroads where one can go on the Web and straddle the past and future of Cottonelle’s PR. The older Scott Paper site still bears witness to the company’s tasteful days. Floating above a picture of two 12-packs are the innocent words, “Softness you’ll notice.” But jump on the Cottonelle site

If I’m not recoiling in horror from Preparation H ads, I’m likely to be fighting my gag reflex while watch ing one of many commercials now airing for Lamisil, “the #1 prescribed medicine for your fungal nail infec tion.” It’s one thing for the announc er to inform me that the treatment “gets down deep into the nail bed and stays there,” paving the way foi^ “healthier, clearer nails.” But do the people in these ads really have to take off their shoes? I mean, the women in the Vagisil commercials don’t take off their pants so that you’re forced to watch them seek “relief from itching and irritation while deodorizing and freshening.” And that goes for Original Formula, Maximum Strength, Foaming Wash, Deodorant Powder, Intimate Lubricant and Yeast Itch Control Suppositories, thank God. Likewise, actresses in the ads for

going to give this guy the confidence to get back in the tub. O n the other hand, it turns out that virtually every medication that doesn’t cure diarrhea is capable of causing it. Here’s a partial list of pop ular substances whose makers list diarrhea as a common side effect: Adipex-P, Amoxicillin, Ampicillin, antacids, Bextra, Capoten, Cardioquin, Cephalosporins, Clindamycin, cholesterol-lowering agents, digitalis, diuretics, Eskalith, Fastin, HCTZ, Inderal, Ionamin, Lanoxin, Lasix, laxatives, Lexapro, Lithobid, mineral supplements, Nexium, Obenix, Obephen, Oby-Cap, Oby-Trim, Pan shape M, Paxil, Paxil CR, Phentercot, Phentride, Procrit, Pro-Fast, Prozac, Quin-Release, Teramine, Tetracycline, thyroid hormone, Vasotec, Vioxx, some vitamin sup plements, Xanax, Zantryl, Zoloft. Ah, the march of science. Never before has such an array of choices

I recently completed a scientific study, and III tell you how gross things have become: According to my findings, the only word currently uttered on American television more frequently than "Iraq" is "diarrhea."

fabric. Eeewww. I shudder to think what the next phase of that cam paign might bring. I’m learning way too much about hemorrhoids, too, thanks to this new trend. Just after dinner the other evening, I found myself watching an attractive, professionally dressed woman sitting in an audience of some kind and squirming uncom fortably. “I should have used Preparation H Wipes,” she tells her self, referring to “new Preparation H Medicated Wipes with aloe for tem porary relief from the painful burn ing and itching of external hemor rhoids.” (Can you imagine the audi tion for that commercial? “I’m sorry, sweetheart, I’m just not believing your external hemorrhoids burn painfully. Next.”)

Valtrex and Zovirax manage to remain fully attired while still con veying the heartbreak of genital her pes. As, I am pleased to report, do the actors who appear in TV spots for Enzyte, the effective, reliable way to natural “male sex organ enhance ment.” I know it’s the dawn of a new century.and all, but I have to admit I’m flabbergasted that it’s now con sidered acceptable to broadcast ads for products promising “stronger, fuller and firmer erections.” Did we take a vote on this? Irritable Bowel Syndrome, bloat ing, overactive bladder (“Got to go, got to go, got to go right n ow ...”), blackheads, constipation, menstrual pain, incontinence, male impotency, gas and feminine odor. It’s a tribute to our resilience that Americans somehow still manage to overeat with all the messages about these and countless other unappetizing condi tions constantly assaulting us. I recently completed a scientific study, and I’ll tell you how gross things have become: According to my findings, the only word current ly uttered on American television more frequently than “Iraq” is “diar rhea.” O n one hand, you’ve got your ads for treatments like Kaopectate and Imodium AD. The most indelicate of these spots features an unhappy chap in a hot tub with a bevy o f sexy babes. A voice asks, “Where will you be when your diarrhea medicine runs out?” and our hero clenches his butt and hobbles frantically out o f there. All the Cottonelle in the world isn’t

been available to human beings in pursuit o f loose bowels. The airwaves are jammed with pharmaceutical ads these days, and the law requires that side effects be itemized. That means the average viewer hears the word “diarrhea” an estimated 200 to 300 times a day. I don’t know about you, but that fact alone is enough to make me nostal gic for the days when people knew how to speak in euphemisms, when advertisers courted the public with catchy jingles and slogans. It may be hard for younger readers to believe, but whole presidential administra tions came and went without a single person bringing up the subject of hemorrhoids on television. Not to mention external prob lems. Historians and sociologists say the reality depicted by the media in those days was sanitized, oversimpli fied and short on unpleasant facts. I say, what exactly was the problem? If I want a biology lesson, I’ll take a continuing-ed course.- W hen I turn on the television, I don’t want to be forced to think about whether the person on the screen feels “confi dently clean.” And I certainly don’t appreciate having to explain to my child what those men plan to enhance. My bowels are fine, so far, but this whole business is making me a little bit irritable. If you ask me, the ad industry should stop acting like a bunch o f frat boys in a belching contest. This sort o f thing has got to go, got to go, got to go right now. ®

political persuasions and walks of life did something last Saturday that Planet Earth has never before witnessed. From Johannesburg, South Africa, to Dublin, Ireland. From Auckland, New Zealand, to Barcelona, Spain. From Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to Burlington, Vermont, people poured out of their homes to stand against the macho gunslinger from Texas who currently wears the title “Leader of the Free World.” More than one million people turned out in London, making it the largest gathering of humanity ever in the land of Queen Victoria. Meanwhile, to the north, more than a half-million Scots filled the streets of Glasgow. Clearly Bushs buddy in conquest, Prime Minister Tony Blair, is now in a wee bit of trouble. It would be easy to fill this column with a listing of locations where citizens of the world unit ed to stand against the current American regime. Despite months of steady propaganda funneled through Americas super-slick, pro-Bush corporate media, Saturday proved that more people than anyone imagined see through the Bush B.S. Despite the administration’s best efforts to keep the American people in a constant state of fear, courage won the day. Duct tape

Judy's Coming Out Party! — Plenty of chatter over Sundays Associated Press-interview with Dr. Judith Steinberg, a.k.a. Howard Dean’s wife. Some have sarcastically suggested that the writer, Christopher Graff of the A.P., is gunning for the job of White House press secretary starting in January 2005. The fact is, there’s no dirt to dig up on Judy Dean. She has a “scholarly air” and loves people. What she doesn’t care for is poli tics. But she’s ready to sleep with the president if the situation pres ents itself. If Ho-Ho makes it to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Dean told Mr. Graff that Dr. Judy “will practice medicine in Washington,” as well as attend state dinners. Attention, Secret Service! Can you imagine the security checks her patients would have to go through before they reached the examining room?

became little more than a weapon of mass distraction. God bless America! There are more patriots for peace out there than anyone, including King George, realized. It’s not the first time the people have been ahead of the politicians. On Monday, our favorite pres idential hopeful Howard Dean laid it all out to an audience at Drake University in Iowa: “Yes, Saddam Hussein is evil. But Osama bin Laden is also evil, and he has attacked the United States, and he is preparing now to attack us again. “What happened to the war against al Qaeda? “Why has this Administration taken us so far off track? “I believe it is my patriotic duty to urge a different path to protecting Americas security: To focus on al Qaeda, which is an imminent threat, and to use our resources to improve and strengthen the security and safety of our home front' and our people while working with the other nations of the world to contain Saddam Hussein. “That the President was given open-ended authority to go to war in Iraq resulted from a failure of too many in my party in

HOW ARD DEAN

But the really bad news is that there is indeed some “dirt” on Judy Dean that Mr. Graff missed. Obviously Christopher doesn’t ride on the Burlington Bikepath much. That’s the glorious eightmile stretch of lakefront serenity that owes its very existence, at least in part, to the efforts of a younger Howard Dean. Yours truly, however, does pedal the path. And so does Dr. Judy. You’d better sit down for this one, folks. It’s quite shocking, indeed, and will probably go national. You see, Judy Dean, wife, mother and physician, is really quite the daredevil. All New Yorkers, after all, have that “wild and crazy” streak. In Judy Dean’s case, it shows itself by pedaling w ith o u t a helm et!

Yep, she’s a wild one!

Speaking of the Bike Path — This week the House Transpor tation Committee is expected to kill the proposal to construct a bridge over the mouth of the Winooski River between Colches ter and Burlington. Republican Chairman Frank Mazur and Rep. George Schiavone (RShelburne) are leading the charge, with an assist from their old

SEVENDAYS I

sweetheart, politician-turnedjournalist Ruth Dwyer. The bridge and causeway woulc allow cyclists, Rollerbladers, hikers and even folks in wheelchairs to experience the beauty of the Winooski River delta. It would also close a critical gap in a spectacular, world-clas^ recreation path that would link Burlington and points south to the Lake Champlain Islands and Canada. Last week Ruthless Ruth took a “Hard Look” at the project in a two-part series on Ch. 22 News. Dwyer equated the $3 million bridge project to the tarnished $356 million Renaissance project on Hospital Hill. And not surprisingly, Ms. Dwyer was unable to find anyone with a good word to say about it. None of the officials in Colches ter and Burlington who enthusi astically support the project were interviewed. Neither was Chapin Spencer, the former city coun cilor who is executive director of Local Motion. That’s the Burlington nonprofit that pro motes “cycling, ’blading and walking and the trails, bikeways, and sidewalks that make such travel safe, easy and fim.” Way too radical for Ruthie’s tastes. If Ruth the Journalist had only called, Mr. Spencer would have informed her that the proj ect “is part of a comprehensive effort to unite the Burlington Bike Path and the Colchester/ South Hero Causeway into one of the nation’s most scenic rail trails.” Chapin would have been happy to tell Reporter Dwyer that, “Connecting downtown Burlington to the orchards and vineyards of the Champlain Islands on a trail through Lake Champlain is an achievable vision that will be a tourism attraction as well as a transportation corri dor connecting communities.” But Ruth never contacted him, or anyone else who doesn’t see things her way. Telling one side of the story is apparently Ruth’s style. The two-time guber natorial loser hasn’t changed a bit. But what does keeping her on the air say about the Ch. 22 news operation? Dwyer and her old political cronies in the House Republican caucus may think they’ve won this one, that they somehow defeated Howard Dean. Finally. But their spiteful little politi cal victory is actually a big loss for the region. Eventually, that bridge will be built. It’s a nobrainer. But the longer it’s delayed by “visionaries” like Reps. Mazur and Schiavone, the more it will cost taxpayers.

Griswold, who said: “I call on President Bush to exhaust all diplomatic and multilateral initiatives as the alternative to waging war. . . .O u r nation has an opportunity, and responsibility, to reflect the values and ideals that we espouse by focusing upon issues o f poverty, disease and despair, both within our own nation and throughout the global community.

M ATTHEW THORSEN

n a hot Honolulu afternoon in late November, Kate Pond’s graceful steel suncatcher was blessed by a native Hawaiian minister. He used a large tropical leaf to sprinkle water on “All One,” a seven-and-ahalf-foot-tall abstract creation that marks the fourth phase of the Burlington artist’s ambi tious World Sculpture Project. Her earlier pieces, each taking the Earth’s seasonal align ments into account, can be found in Quebec, Norway and Japan. Pond’s peripatetic passion might stem from a family tradition. Though her roots encompass six generations in the Green Mountain State, “my grandmother and her sister used to do a lot of traveling,” the 64year-old sculptor recalls. “As a kid, I would go through their old steamer trunks. I can remember finding artifacts they brought back from places like Pompeii.” The hillside Montpelier farm where Pond grew up provided plenty of inspiration. “I would make things with found objects from the barn,” she says. “I made bowls from clay I dug out of the brook and collected stones with concentric designs. I even built a sevenstory treehouse. I always wanted to build things larger than myself.” And so she has. Pond’s six-foot-tall “Kiss #2” sits in front of the Fletcher Free Library. With a similar height, her 45-foot-long “Steelhead” overlooks the Winooski River just east of the Champlain Mill. At more than eight feet, “Sunfix For Judy” stands watch at the border crossing in Highgate Springs. Pond’s more diminutive dog and cat sil houettes — collectively called “Come, Whiskers, Come” — adorn the grounds at the Humane Society of Chittenden County. She also devised the fanciful grates leading into the newly renovated Firehouse Center

for the Visual Arts in downtown Burlington. Like all her artistic endeavors, Pond points out, the World Sculpture Project “comes from the center of my universe, which is Vermont.” For the last three decades, that universe has had a specific ground zero: her work shop in a former heliport at S.T. Griswold, a Williston concrete company. “This place has influenced the whole path of my work,” acknowledges Pond, her hand indicating the cavernous hangar filled with tools and scraps of metal. “I’m not sure I would have stuck with large sculpture otherwise, but here I have access to cranes, trucks and forklifts.” It’s a formidable scale for this slender woman with gray hair and wire-rim glasses. “Kate puts herself out on a limb,” suggests Sabra Field, Pond’s friend and an acclaimed woodblock printmaker from East Barnard. “She has always had the willingness to fail in order to succeed. Sculptures around the world are a good example: She makes the plans before she has the knowledge of how she could possibly find the resources in those foreign countries.” That chutzpah has seen Pond through good times and bad.

She started small. Pond's career began with jewelry design, a subject she had pur sued during a 1959 semester spent in Paris. About 10 years later, she decided to focus on sculpture and took a 1970 University of Vermont course with the late Paul Aschenbach. “I had been working experi mentally with littler, found objects,” she recalls. “All of a sudden, I realized I could go larger. That’s when welding came into the picture.” Pond’s initial experience with public art

SEVENOAm l§ 0 r u a r y ot'&28‘: 2 t ) 0 W l i l i W e ^

came in 1971, while serving as an apprentice for the 2nd Vermont International Sculpture Symposium. She helped cast concrete sculp tures that were placed at rest areas along Interstates 89 and 90. Pond operated a thriving cottage industry from 1972 to 1976, setting mirrors into welded steel frames that were shaped as let ters or entire words. She was soon shipping her products to some 50 outlets around the country, while also raising two children — a son who now teaches Japanese literature and a daughter who is an archaeologist in Hawaii. As a divorcee, Pond resumed her inter rupted art studies, earning a 1979 degree from Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, New York. For the last 16 years, she has been married to photographer and writer Fred Stetson. In 1977, Pond contributed eight paint ings and two large steel sculptures to a trav eling exhibit shared with Field at Skidmore, Castleton State College, UVM’s Royall Tyler Theatre and the Wood Gallery in Mont pelier. Pond sold her first sculpture — as always, welding Corten steel that weathers into a rust-colored patina — in 1981. “Steelhead,” a depiction of fish that appear to be swim ming, is situated in the Winooski Falls Park. Her artistic vision does not always meet with unanimous praise. A Champlain Mill employee later painted the marine-themed sculpture green to match the nearby park benches, and Pond had to have it sandblast ed to recapture the original look. At about the same time that she complet ed “Steelhead,” Pond put the finishing touches on “Kiss #2,” gigantic representa tions of the letter F in a sort of coital embrace in front of Burlington’s Fletcher Free Library. “Moments after it was installed, a little old man who worked across the street in an insurance agency whacked it *

In 1990 Pond survived a bout with can cer that prompted her to concentrate on what she enjoys most in life. Before long, this led to the World Sculpture Project, which continues to be funded by private donations and grants from various founda tions. Her intention is to build a sense of global community through work that con nects with the cosmos. Although each piece

has a distinct size and shape, she invariably opts for the sweep of celestial measurements rather than the ticking of clocks geared to Standard Time zones. “I became intrigued by the latitude and longitude of a site,” Pond explains. “I began to see alignments between the sun, stars and our position on the Earth as a frame of ref erence for my sculpture designs. The sundi als evolved into sculptures that directed light and shadow, marking solstice and equinox.” Her ideas were first realized in 1993 with “Zigzag,” devised to highlight the autumn

KATE with his umbrella,” Pond remembers. “He asked, ‘What’s this? You may like it, but I’ll have to look at it every day.’” The town was abuzz. Letters to The Burlington Free Press debated the “Kiss #2” pros and cons. “When art is public and abstract,” Pond says, “it can spark a lot of controversy.” With all public art, “you’re into unknown territory,” theorizes Doreen Kraft, director of Burlington City Arts. “You have to inter pret and translate the space. Kate has great translation skills.”

In an era of "finding herself" during the early 1980s, Pond visited Greece and France. Her most memorable activity in Paris was learning to make the kind of “artist kites” designed by Jackie Monnier, the greatgranddaughter of painter Henri Matisse. Back in Vermont, Pond kept the faith by embarking on another joint venture with Field. They both assembled kites with fabric-appliqu^ designs on nylon hot-air-bal loon material for exhibits at Royall Tyler and the Governor’s Gallery at the Statehouse. “We flew them for legislators,” Pond says. For an expansion of Breugger’s Bagel Bakery, Pond fashioned kites to decorate the company’s new stores in Albany, Boston, North Carolina and points west. But the fun soon went out of it. “I was making money, but didn’t feel like sewing anymore,” she says. Pond traded the high-flying life for a more grounded pursuit when she began a 10-year stint of sculpture residencies at pub lic schools, sponsored in part by the Vermont Arts Council. These sessions often produced accurate sun dials, the start of her fascination with principles of astronomy.

and spring equinoxes outside the ColbyCurtis Museum in Stanistad, Quebec. A time capsule full of postcard-sized children’s art from around the world was later buried below the tubular sculpture. The project’s second phase followed in 1996, when Pond trekked to Scandinavia. The conical “Solekko,” set up to cast no shadow when the sun’s rays are overhead at noon on the solstice, was installed at the Norwegian Museum of Science and Technology in Oslo. Another time capsule accompanies it. “Himeguri” — Pond’s triangular 1998 sculpture that sends a shadow along the accompanying curved stone wall during a solstice — has a permanent outdoor home at a park in Sendai, Japan. The time capsule containing about 600 samples of children’s art is scheduled to be unearthed during the summer solstice in 2015. For the Hawaiian leg of her series, on the Kapi’olani Community College campus, Pond eschewed the usual solstice-equinox arrangement. Instead, she installed the arch way-like “All One” and its requisite capsule during Makahiki, an ancient festival for wel coming the rainy season. “All One” will register the “Lahaina Noon,” which only takes place near the equator when the sun is directly overhead twice a year, on May 26 and July 16. “At those moments, no person [standing up] casts a shadow,” Pond says, “but I made sure the sculpture does.” In order to explore the southern hemi- ' sphere for a change, she envisions New Zealand as the ideal spot for her next round of aesthetic sun worship. Then again, Pond speculates, “It would be fun to investigate sculptures that involve the full moon.” ®

STORY KAREN SHIMIZU IMAGES FRED ASKEW Gutterson Field House, UVM: It is 3:30 a.m., Saturday, February 15. I am wearing wool-lined boots and mittens, two layers of socks, long underwear, blue jeans, five shirts, a wool sweater, a down jacket, a hat and scarf. Similarly bundled figures — too densely wrapped to make out features or gender — pile on the New York Citybound bus. “Peace and Justice! ” yells the driver, as if he’s hawking hot dogs. “Peace and Justice!” My bus — a standard yellow school bus — is one of four leaving at this ungodly hour, sponsored by the Burlington-based Peace & Justice Center. The American Friends Service Committee, United Electrical Workers and other organizations are also transporting Vermonters to todays peace rally near the United Nations — one of dozens of antiwar gatherings being staged in cities around the world. The bus is full. Ahead of me, most peo ple are trying to sleep. Behind me, it sounds like a party. Students from UVM — some drunk, some stoned, some giddy in antici pation of the demonstration — talk eagerly amongst themselves. A blonde, tin-voiced girl scoots into the seat behind me and con fides to her neighbor, “I might not make much sense; I’m tripping on LSD.” A girl in a green wool hat is pensively reading a printout of public bathrooms in midtown Manhattan — the NYPD has

decided that Port-o-Potties would pose a “security risk.” A woman across the aisle announces the contents o f her satchel. She has three apples and Kool-Aid. The tripping girl asks her, “Did you bring anything to drink?” “Yeah, I have some Kool-Aid.” “No, I mean, like alcohol?” “Oh. No.” We get started. I try to sleep. The walls of the bus are cold. Condensation builds and freezes on the windows.

now, and I can see who else is on the bus. A blue-haired boy shares a seat behind the driver with his mother. A young woman with a plume of red and brown dreadlocks and a blue tattoo by her right eye dangles an arm over the back of her seat. A saltand-pepper coifed woman sips from a silver thermos. An older lady with a white mohair hat has the wool collar of her jacket pulled up to her nose. I’m hungry. In my backpack I have crackers, a wedge of white cheddar cheese, a Fig Newton and a darkening banana. I eat some cheese.

As we move closer to the city, Vermonters look out the windows and make disparaging remarks about the flat suburban landscape. Hard-edged office buildings rear above the highway: Daewoo. AGFA. Fleet. From a distance, the city sky line is an opaque blue-gray. As we move closer, it deepens and sharpens into a com plex nexus of streets, buildings, taxicabs, New Yorkers. The driver is talking on two cell phones at once. People laugh nervously and specu late about the possibility of an accident. We head into Manhattan. As we spill out onto 34th street, disoriented and overdressed, I hear someone mutter, “I feel like the coun try mouse going to the city.”

I head toward the New York Public Library, where people are gathering to walk en masse to the demonstration on First Avenue. Along the way, I pass 15 police

vans parked bumper-to-bumper, all filled with policemen in riot gear. In Times Square, under towering commercial signs, a skinny white guy with a beard is stopped by two policemen. They take his Bush-bashing sign, tear it in two and hand it back to him. They break the wooden stick to which the sign was affixed. No sticks allowed.

So, you want to be a peace activist. You can’t fathom why your government hopes to exhaust bil lions o f tax dollars bombing Baghdad bridges and Muslim weddings when your own country’s roads and public schools are suffering from fiscal neglect. Your blood was stirred by the millions who hit the streets last weekend from Kiev to Kuala Lumpur to protest an invasion of Iraq. It’s my turn, you tell yourself, to get on the bus. But if you have no experience working at home for a regime change, where do you begin? When it comes to nonviolent civil disobedience, heed the following words of advice gleaned from Vermont’s seasoned peace activists: K now th y se lf. First and foremost, be clear in your own mind why you’ve joined the movement. If the „only reason you’re driving 500 miles in a crappy old school bus is to set fire to dumpsters or toss garbage cans through the window o f the first Starbucks you see, consider switching to decaf and enroll in a pottery class instead. K now y o u r lim its ... b efo re y o u go. Civil dis obedience is like a first date: It’s a good idea to know beforehand what you’ll do if the hormones start flying and everyone gets all hot and bothered. If you suspect you’ll soil your undies at the first whiff o f tear gas or weep uncontrollably after 12

hours in a county lock-up, choose a support role that doesn’t require you to stand nose-to-gonads with a police riot horse in full battle gear. Be the one who brings the water, the grilled cheese sand wiches or the art supplies for posters. Shoot photos or videotape for a news outlet. Bring first-aid sup plies such as bandages and sterile eyewash. Hand out mini American flags or U.N. banners. Or, be the hero who stays home to feed everyone’s pets and stand ready to post bail. K now y o u r h isto ry. It doesn’t hurt to understand more about the history o f civil disobedience than a couple choice Gandhi quotes and the lyrics to “Blowin’ in the W ind.” Granted, the anti-Vietnam War movement had a killer soundtrack, but never

America is teetenng on the brink of renewed recession. People arc hurting. People arc scared. For the first rime in a decade median household income is down: poverty rates and unemployment are up; the gap between rich and poor is growing; die huge surpluses of the last years have vanished into huge deficits; state, city and school budgets across the country are in shock; the stock market has plummeted to 5-year lows. Is anybody up there paying attention? Do they think their war wfll fix things? How can blowing up buildings and killing people be good for business, unless its the body-bag business? How can the oil pnee spikes that inevitably follow Mideast conflict wreak anything but havoc? War will just bum up the money that multi fix thing*.

the king of peace pops, the former ice cream entrepreneur from Williston is now the king of peace ops, as director o f the activist-oriented TrueMajority. W ith the same clever instinct for mar keting that helped Ben & Jerry’s Home made become such a sweet success, Cohen is trying to persuade Americans that a new Persian Gulf conflict would wreck the U.S. economy, breed more terrorism and take a terrible human toll. “I think there’s a good chance we can stop this,” he says, radiating optimism during a brief lull at TrueMajority s bustling headquarters in downtown Burlington. In October the organization, which coordinates its activities with a range of , like-minded groups such as MoveOn, Working Assets and Business Leaders For

Sensible Priorities, started a national news paper campaign that reaches out to vari ous segments of society. One recent print ad, co-sponsored by the National Council of Churches, took a religious approach: “Jesus Changed Your Heart,” reads the headline over a photograph of born-again George W. Bush, head bowed in prayer. “Now Let Him Change Your M ind.” The television commercials began appearing less than a month ago in New York, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. “The goal is to reach decision-makers,” explains Cohen, who writes the scripts. “And that’s where they are.” Be that as it may, the productive peaceniks were stunned to discover that the national airwaves are restricted when it comes to alternative viewpoints. “We ini tially wanted to run the ads across the country on the major networks,” Cohen recalls. “They all refused. It’s OK for them to present one-sided news reports every day, but we can’t even pay to get our mes sage out there. Instead, we could only buy time with local cable companies in New York, L.A. and D.C. that carry those channels.” In the first TV ad, which debuted before and after President Bush’s State of the Union Address in late January, actress Susan Sarandon says, “The Iraqi people cry out to the American people: ‘What have we done to you?”’ Edward Peck, a former U.S. ambassador to that country, then responds: “The answer is, ‘Nothing.’ Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, noth ing to do with al Qaeda.” That promotion was immediately fol lowed in early February by one pairing comedienne Janeane Garofolo with Bishop Melvin Talbert of the United Methodist Church, which happens to be Bush’s denomination of choice. Addressing the damage that would result from a pre emptive U.S. strike, the clergyman says, “No nation under God has that right. It violates God’s law.” Four additional spots have been run ning this week, timed to coincide with worldwide peace rallies and the Security Council debate. One of them focuses on retired Navy Rear Admiral Jack Shanahan, who shares the spotlight with thespians Amy Brenneman and Tyne Daly from the CBS series “Judging Amy.” For another TV ad that was shot in Vermont by 2 Much Media of Burlington, Cohen and cohort Jerry Greenfield crunch the numbers o f a war-based economy, then conclude with a personalized pitch: “Take it from a couple o f old ice cream guys. Demonstrate. Act.” The 60-second

TOUGH INSPECTIONS -NOT WAR

segment got national play when it ran as part of a recent report about antiwar activism on C N N ’s “Connie Chung Tonight.”

Mos Def had already taped his prepared segment last week when Cohen handed him a TrueMajority pen. Rolled up inside the ballpoints red plastic barrel is a small chart that can be pulled down to reveal comparative federal spending statis tics. With this informative souvenir in hand, the performer insisted on doing another take. “The pen is mightier than the sword,” he improvises, pointing out the $39 bil lion annually allotted for childrens health, $31 billion for education and a whopping $548 billion for the military. “I think we got better things to fight for.” After this entreaty, the text that flashes across the screen is both an exhortation to contact officials and a play on words from a popular song of yesteryear: “Fax the Power.” Faxing is, in fact, at the very core of Ben Cohen’s initiative. Before the Iraqi sit uation heated up, TrueMajority was launched in June as a way to pressure the government to spend some of the tax dol lars earmarked for the Pentagon on press ing social needs. Cohen’s idea was that anyone who reg isters with TrueMajority can receive free email alerts on relevant issues before Congress that are monitored by his organ ization and affiliated groups. When clien tele click on “reply,” lawmakers receive electronic faxes about those topics from their own constituents. The reasoning behind this process was to simplify activism and dovetail efforts. “Sociologist Paul Ray found that between 25 and 40 percent of the population agrees with us on a constellation of issues, from domestic violence to the environ ment to poverty,” Cohen says. “But nobody has the time to work on all of them, so they tend to select one or two. Therefore, no group could ever count on those huge numbers. Now there’s a way for every voice to be heard.” Throughout the summer, Cohen and his colleagues were busy coordinating “a cross-country parade of weird vehicles” that visited various cities to spread the word. And at concerts by sympathetic rock ’n’ roll bands, they set up a “traveling carnival” with game booths that were entertaining and educational: “Knock a Nuke, Build a School” was the gimmick behind one such carnie endeavor. The fes tive nature of the cause attracted fun-

lovers who were also interested in social change. “We had 30,000 people sign up,” Cohen notes. “And we’ve grown exponen tially since then at 20 percent a month. TrueMajority now has 130,000 members.” In the last three months, the focus has shifted. “The bulk of our work is now antiwar,” Cohen acknowledges. “Most other issues pale in comparison. We real ized it was crucial to build an opposition when the Bush administration started telling us we were traitors and to watch what we say. I was amazed at how effective that was in casting a chill on the country.” To counter the Big Chill, TrueMajority — which has branch offices in New York and D.C. — zeroed in on television as the

most formidable tool for building a mass movement. Celebrities on television? Even better. “Puff Daddy’s now on board,” con fides Cohen, who dabbled in rap music himself on a 1999 novelty CD, entitled “Move O ur Money,” that targeted federal budget priorities. The faxes apparently have continued to fly. “When Congress was about to vote on authorizing Bush to wage war this fall, we sent Representatives 100,000 faxes from people opposing it,” Cohen says. “That’s the most ever received for one issue.” The authorization passed despite the no votes of 130 Senators and Congressmen. “Some of them went against their party leadership,” Cohen points out, intimating that the fax frenzy might have played a

role in that outcome. TrueMajority-generated faxes sent out over the ensuing months are taped to the glass partition delineating Cohens inner sanctum. Many of these communications offer satirical graphics. O n one, an image of Osama bin Laden mimics Uncle Sam pointing an index finger in the old U.S. Army recruitment posters. The line below it reads: “I Want You to Invade Iraq.”

TV is the most influential medium. But the TrueMajority pool of money for new spots — each costing “hundreds of thousands of dollars,” according to Cohen »

E STORY

PAU LA RO UTLY

leven prominent poets had choice words for Laura Bush on Sunday at a Man chester reading to protest the impending war with Iraq. The catalyst for the event, which was hastily organized by the Northshire Bookstore, was the First Lady’s cancellation of a literary symposium devoted to the works of Walt Whitman, Langston Hughes and Emily Dickinson. “You could see why they were chosen,” Bennington writer Jamaica Kincaid said when she took her place at the podium, “because they were dead.” Living poets are harder to control, as Mrs. Bush soon discovered. Word got out that a number of the invited readers, including Middlebury poet Jay Parini, planned to turn the W hite House-sanc tioned event into a speak-out on Iraq. The high-ranking hostess summarily “disinvited” all the Washington-bound bards, prompting a countrywide slew of antiwar readings. Plenty of Vermonters stood out in the cold last weekend to protest the war in New York, Montreal, Burlington and Montpelier. But the crowd of 600 mostly older folks who packed the pews of the First Congregational Church came for community, and to hear Vermont’s most eloquent voices exercising their right to • free speech. Local and national media, including C-SPAN and the Los Angeles Times, filled the elevated choir section at the back. Another 200 jammed into the downstairs vestry to watch the upstairs

proceedings on television. The democratically seated poets looked harmless up on the apse — talent that included Parini, Kincaid, Julia Alvarez, David Budbill, Ruth Stone, Grace Paley, Jody Gladding, Greg Delanty, Donald Hall, William O ’Daly and Galway Kinnell. But they were armed with verse warning of selfish emperors, incinerated children and blood in the streets. Almost every poet offered corroborating stanzas from W hitman, Dickinson or Hughes. National Book Award-winner Ruth Stone made her peace with a poem about Vietnam. New Hampshire poet Donald Hall harked back to World War II. Parini recited a poem he wrote after September 11. But perhaps the most stirring lines spoke to the moment: O ’Daly came all the way from the West Coast to read his letter to the president. Alvarez imagined diverse reactions to the canceled Bush bash in “The White House has disinvited the poets.” Paley got a standing ovation for “Fathers,” which appeared in last week’s New Yorker. The poets read in no particular order — their names were drawn out of a hat, lottery-style — with each bard intending to “undo the folded lie,” as W.H. Auden put it. After two hours, their individual songs had become a chorus of harmonious dissent, the room a good deal warmer. A few of their chosen poems are printed here. (7)

To the Forty-third President of the United States of America Mr. President, our history speaks to us, the history of Chile and China, El Salvador and Nicaragua, Somalia, Puerto Rico — today, our solemn duty is to defy your willful aggression, to parse provocative words and habits, your heroic battle to distract us. Perhaps you think God will protect us from the religious zealots who sanctify your rule, from your opportunism and the race renewal, the investiture you have assumed because, as always, it is not yours. Let me ask an obvious question. If we are to establish peace and security for our nation, must we not do everything in our power to endthe beginnings of war, must we not allow our imaginations to craft a lasting peace? Are not the children you would choose to incinerate our own? We try on masks to trick our isolated, frightened selves, to propagate our sacred uncertainties among the children of this blue planet, a world we create and ruin every day.

Much madness is divinest Sense —

Mr. President, where do we walk, where may we sit down, where can we work or rest, weep or pray, what field does a man sunder and seed in a country living only in memory, dying every day at the hands of those who profess to love her most? They say God loves America, and that this "old bitch gone in the teeth" is heaven on earth; in preemptive violence, in obstinacy, in entitlements for the rich, this murdered land, this, the people's earth, is our reward for being right no matter how wrong we are.

To a discerning Eye — Much Sense — the starkest Madness — Tis the Majority In this, as All, prevail — Assent — and you are sane — Demur — you're straightway dangerous — And handled with a Chain — - EMILY DICKINSON

What "urge and rage" thrives in the American heart, that so many cheer this obsessive, unilateral madness?

To The States

Even through precise layers of glass, the TV peddling a thrilling efficiency, we cannot see them, the ghosts that inhabit our malnourished statistics, inhospitable closets, cold kitchens where we eat meat and raise goblets of wine to celebrate our belief that they are not like us. I want to spend more time with my daughter, my five-year-old, I want to see her, to know she is alive. It is her "evening of the morning," she is just fine, though she implores me to tell her the "acommitation of naked truth."

To the States or any one of them, or any city of the States, Resist much, obey little, Once unquestioning obedience, once fully enslaved, Once fully enslaved, no nation, state, city of this earth, ever afterward resumes its liberty. - WALT WHITMAN i

I imagine Iraqis, weakened by sanctions, spending time with their children. What do they play together, what makes them laugh, what crude medicine do parents spoon down fevered throats, when. they too are roused from nightmares of fragile necklaces of bone, slung around the necks of American fighters whose hearts we camouflage? Who will witness the small charred bodies floating in the Tigris, children writhing in pain, in smoking rubble, in the ruins of Bab Al-Wastani or the Miijan Mosque, severed limbs and glazed eyes that last night followed their favorite story by candelight?

Harlem (A Dream Deferred) What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore — And then run? Does it stink like rotten meat? Or crust and sugar over — like a syrupy sweet?

Mr. President, what does it mean when you say Saddam Hussein, Butcher of Baghdad, official liar, terrorizes himself? If he brings tenor upon himself, will our dark angels exterminate him or his already wounded people; and would you answer Mr. Korb: What if Kuwait grew carrots, what if Iraq's main exports were chick peas and cotton shawls destined for American women longing for the exotic?

Maybe it just sags like a heavy load. Or d o e s i t e x p lo d e ? -

A Little Story About an Ancient Chinese Emperor Thousands of years ago in ancient China a boy emperor ruled for awhile. The Imperial Court had placed the child on the throne so that he could be a mouthpiece for the Imperial Court's desires. Coddled from birth, surrounded by servants and sycophants, told by The Imperial Court that he was The Son of Heaven, given to believe he had no obligation to anyone but his Imperial Court, pampered and protected from any notion of what the real world was like, from any idea of what The People had to put up with every day, The Emperor stomped and swaggered through the world telling The People what to do, taking whatever he wanted, robbing from the poor and giving to the rich, and sending his armies out to terrorize whomever he took a notion to despise. The Emperor ruled for a long time and thousands of The People died, killed by his armies and because of his abuse and neglect. But eventually, after great suffering, The People rose up and crushed the man who called himself The Son of Heaven. And they crushed his Imperial Court as well. Then some time passed in which The People lived in relative calm until another Emperor, like the one in this story, came along. - DAVID B U D B IL L

hen most people think of the peace move ment, they think of marches, protests and signs with slogans like “No Blood For Oil” and “People Not Profit.” War is the engine that drives the economy. There’s no money in peace. Right? Louise Diamond, founder and president of Bristol-based PeaceTech, disagrees. Her company sells products and services that promote peace. Sitting at a table in PeaceTech’s conference room wear ing a bulky green sweater, the 58-year-old Lincoln resident radiates the centeredness of a yoga instructor and the barely con tained electricity of a visionary entrepre neur. “We exist to make peace practical, popular and profitable,” she says. A grandmother of two with steel-gray ’hair, Diamond founded PeaceTech in July 2000. Since then the company has been in start-up mode, its survival dependent upon seed money from anonymous bene factors and income from Diamond’s con sulting services. But that’s about to change. Diamond wants to expand the business and has begun to court investors. Last month PeaceTech hired an interim Chief Operations Officer and started advertising for a director of marketing. Since early this month, a newly minted advisory board has included Stephen Morris, formerly president of Chelsea Green Publishing, and Jerry Greenfield of Ben & Jerry’s. The irony is that peace products are hot because there’s a war brewing. Diamond confesses that sales spiked on September 12, 2001. “It’s weird,” she says sheepishly. “The closer we get to war, the better my business is.” Diamond and many of her supporters belong to a generation known for its opposition to the “military industrial com plex.” In a twist on the axiom “If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em,” they talk o f creating a “peace industrial complex.” Diamond is willing to be a guinea pig to prove it can be done. She defends her unconventional approach: “People say, ‘I thought we were against profit.’ I say, ‘No, I’m against exces sive profit, exploitative profit. But I’m for creating jobs.” PeaceTech’s office occupies part of a house on a residential street in Bristol. Diamond bought the building last year and rents out an apartment and a small office upstairs. Maps and a United Nations banner decorate the walls of PeaceTech. In Diamond’s own office hangs an old Unicef poster, a picture of the Mostar Bridge in Bosnia and a map of Cyprus — mementos of Diamond’s 12year career in international peace work. She is not a peace activist in the.tradi-

tional sense; she doesn’t do large group protests. Rather, Diamond describes herself as a “peace builder.” She sees peace not as a passive state but as an active quest for healthy human relationships. Her own quest began when she moved to Vermont in 1970 and started a career as a therapist and

materials and an online dialogue, and up to $1450 for an option that includes a weekend workshop and personal coaching from Diamond — seems steep for an organization involved in something called “The Great Peace Giveaway,” but then it is, after all, a business. One measure of Diamond’s success so far is the caliber of people she’s been able to attract. Last month, Dave Barash signed on as interim Chief Operations Officer. Barash’s resume reads like a who’s who of successful innovative small businesses. He’s worked in senior management at Ben & Jerry’s, Autumn Harp and Burton Snowboards, as well as Shelburne Farms and Organic Commodity Products. Barash now works out of a small office in Stowe as “an itinerant C O O ,” helping to scale up the operations of companies that have what he calls “a strong social-change component.” Barash investigated PeaceTech through a busi ness feasibility study Diamond commissioned last fall. “I entered as a skeptic,” he admits, “and came out of it thinking that it’s a doable and achievable challenge.” He signed on as interim C O O to help the company attract investors, expand its product line, and fill the marketing director position. It was Barash who tapped Greenfield and con vinced him to join the PeaceTech advisory board. Greenfield will play a very limited role but is excit ed about the venture. “It’s not a total start-up,” he points out. “It’s taking things Louise has already been doing and taking it to a larger scale.” Greenfield also has a lot of confidence in Barash. “His nickname when he was at Ben & Jerry’s was

Carrying a copy around Burlington for a week, I ran into several people who said they’d read it. Turns out Vermont goldsmith Timothy Grannis gives away copies at his Bank Street store. St. Michael’s professor Ron Miller assigned the book to his “Peace Psychology” class. Though Diamond’s goal of distributing 3 million copies is still a long way off, the project definitely has momentum. PeaceTech sponsors other initiatives, including a National Youth Dialogue O n Peace and NonViolence, and Diamond’s consulting and mediation services — the international relief organization CARE is her most notable client. PeaceTech also offers workshops and discussions on Peace Lead ership, which have attracted more than 300 partici pants.

‘the sponge.’ Anything that needed doing, he would do it. He’ll be an asset to the business.” Right now PeaceTech’s biggest asset is the war mongering in Washington. Diamond definitely doesn’t want a war, but she would like to see her business continue to grow. She plans to release a \ peace C D this year, along with a peace book for kids and teens and a parenting guide, How to Raise a Peaceful Child in a Violent World. “Why not have a multi-million-dollar business for peace?” she asks. “We’ve hardly even begun to imagine the possibil ities for other businesses in a new peace economy,” Diamond continues. “The fields of media, entertain ment, publishing, products for personal, home, school and office use, educational seminars, commu nications — I can think of dozens of ways people j can focus on peace in these and other venues.” The former Louise Sunfeather sounds more like a capitalist than a New Age activist when she boasts, “I’ve created four jobs, with a fifth one com ing. T hat supports seven children. I’m proud of that. I think that’s just the beginning.” (Z)

Although the television spots are short and to the point, the print-media blitz has been wordy. “A New York Times reader is inter ested in a wellarticulated argument,” suggests Duane Peterson, who “implements Ben’s creative vision” in his job as TrueMajoritys “C hief o f Stuff.” The facts and figures are often accompanied by a long list o f sup porters — “names to lend credibility,” Peterson says. Indeed. The luminaries are out in force for this battle. One o f TrueMajoritys sister peace groups, N ot in O ur Name, pub lished a two-page Times ad a few weeks ago that mentioned Ben Cohen along with hundreds o f others representing a significant crosssection o f American culture: to name just a few, novelists Barbara Kingsolver and Kurt Vonnegut, musicians Ani DiFranco and Phil Lesh, filmmakers Terry Gilliam and Robert Altman, playwrights John Guare and Tony Kushner, poets Adrienne Rich and Lawrence Ferlinghetti, artists Art Spiegelman and Claes Oldenburg. Meanwhile, faxing the power has proved to be an international affair. Antiwar {messages have been sent to members o f the Security Council. “We even got calls from the Chinese Embassy asking, ‘What is this?’” Cohen remembers. “They’re not really used to democracy,” Peterson observes. The push also has a local angle. “What’s needed right now is mas sive, ongoing, visible opposition,” Cohen says. “The strongest, easiest thing we can do is put signs in our car windows or on our lawns. That’s what’ll turn the corner, an incredibly powerful grassroots state ment that can’t be denied.” In case the war is unstoppable, Cohen has begun brainstorming on Ways to tackle the next presidential election. “I’ve already thought o f some slogans,” he says. ‘“ Show George the Door in 2004!’ could be pasted on actual doors.” ®

Cover.” A group hands out free signs printed on recycled paper in vegetable-based inks by a union shop — sponsored by Working Assets. Graying men in military garb rally under a maroon banner. Veterans Against the War. They face police officers across a narrowing swath o f sidewalk. Nearby, middle-aged men and women hold pho tos o f their sons and daughters in uniform. Military Families for Peace. I see people in jackets that read “United Steelworkers.” I stand beside a woman with a broad smile and dreadlocks reaching her ankles. GLAMericans For Peace, swathed in stylish fa u x fur, stand under a sign reading “Peace — Its the New Black.,v Here and there, the odd spray o f plastic beads — courtesy o f the Mardi Gras Carnival Bloc — glitters in the sunshine. The crowd is diverse, and slogans and expressions vary, but they share a single message: No War.

As the crowd at the library swells, police line up along the streets to keep folks off the asphalt. An officer with a bullhorn directs people to move towards First Ave. People ignore him. They’ll move in their own time. The crowd gets bigger. Police in riot gear — helmets, batons, guns — arrive on the scene. They walk back and forth, ostentatious plas tic handcuffs dangling from their belts. I cross the street and stand on the corner. From here I can see that the library steps are packed. The crowd stretch es from the doors o f the library down to the curb and spans the city block.

Around noon, the crowd starts moving, oozing

like a mountain ik p o lasse s from the library steps towards First Avlwle. P llg along in therihadow o f the GLAMericans to the sound o f chanting: “La Peace, C ’est Chic." A sign dripping with blue tassels proclaims, “Peace Is Not a Fringe Movement.” Police dart alongside the procession, jogging in the gutter. We pass people trapped under the awnings o f Bloomingdale’s and Godiva chocolatiers. Some smile and wave. Many seem confused. One strange ly stationary sign further down the sidewalk catches my eye. It looks incongruous in the midst o f all the moving signs, and the crowd splits around it. When I get close enough, I see that it reads, “Sample Shoe Sale.”

snow loads can damage

At Third Avenue, the city’s refusal to issue a

march permit abruptly becomes irrelevant. The crowd has outgrown the sidewalk and spilled into the street, filling it. The walk becomes a massive, slow-moving march. We inch forward, shuffling, squeezing. Some people carry radios tuned to WBAI, which is covering the demonstration. We hear that Third Avenue is full from 52nd Street to 72nd, and that a similar crowd is moving down Second Avenue. Cars waiting for the light to turn are trapped in the crowd like flies in amber; the people inside them look aggravated and uncomfort able. People are drumming. Syncopated chants o f ‘Peace... Now! ” thunder up and down the avenue.

Police prevent us from moving towards the demonstration on First Avenue. Every cross street has an aluminum barricade, and behind every barricade are officers persistently waving us north. Behind the police officers, we can see that the crowds on Second Avenue are surging southward. The handfuls o f people leaving the rally are allowed to cross unimpeded. “Where can we cross over? We want to go to the demonstration.” “You can cross over at 52nd.” At 52nd, another blockade. “Where can we cross over? They said we could use 52nd.” “You can use 68th.” At 68th, more o f the same. “You can use 72nd.” At 69th, the crowd plows through the barricades to Second Avenue and begins a torturously slow walk south in search o f a place to cross over to

First. Again, barricades block us at every corner. The police erect barricades across the Avenue, bringing the march to a temporary halt before pro testers muster sufficient oomph to break through. In spite o f the inevitable chanting that erupts at

G LA M erican s F o r P eace, sw ath ed in stylish fa f stan d u n d e r a sign reading “P e a c e — It’s th e N e w B la c k .” every whiff o f confrontation with the NYPD, peo ple are by and large reluctant to disrupt the arbi trarily erected barriers. Even so, discarded metal frames and blue wooden planks litter the open intersections, marking where the crowd, however recalcitrant,

At about 4 p.m., we finally arrive at First Avenue, but even though we are now within the rally’s offi cially “permitted” area, police are still erecting bar ricades. After crossing one intersection, I hear a scraping o f metal on asphalt and turn around. Police are blockading First Avenue. I can’t believe it. “Isn’t there a permit for a rally on this Avenue?” I ask one officer. “I only know what they tell me.” When I pose the same question to a female offi cer, she’s a little more eloquent. “Do you want to negotiate w ith met" “No, I’m just wondering — isn’t the rally permit for First? Why are you cutting us off?” “It’s to keep mass chaos from breaking out,” she snarls. “You have a problem with that? It’s so you don’t get trampled. You want to know what this is for? Wait until the ambulance can’t come for your bloody body. This is for your own safety.”

Finally, after a full day of marching, I arrive at the rally. The organizers are congratulating everyone on their participation. The demonstration is over.

Turning to leave, I’m surprised to see the end of the march. Police are opening the streets up to traf fic. Litter is strewn everywhere. As I walk towards Grand Central Station, taking care not to jaywalk, my feelings are mixed. The experience overall has been encouraging. I’ve seen concerned citizens coa lesce from all over the country to demonstrate their opposition to war. I have marched with the largest, most diverse group o f people I’ve ever seen rally around one cause. But encouraging as it has been to march for peace, marching really isn’t enough. One o f the chants that I’ve heard throughout the day is, “This is what democracy looks like!” The earnestness o f the voices raised in these choruses makes me wonder whether too many us confuse marching with civic participation. Demonstrations are dramatic and make you feel good. But they dis sipate quickly. We need to find more lasting forms o f activism, more effective ways to register dissent. At the end o f the day, I find myself asking: What else could democracy look like? ®

Know your opponents. Though your world views

Rankin, the first woman ever elected to Congress and the only member to vote against U .S. entry into both World War I and II, was a Republican from Montana. One o f American history’s feistiest antiwar activists, Rankin once said, “You can no more win a war than you can win an earth quake.”

Know your message. Preaching to the choir may not require a well-rehearsed sermon, but that’s not who you’re trying to reach. It may feel cathartic to ramble incoherently to an N PR reporter after four hours o f shouting “No blood for oil!” But that’s not the most effective way to sway the undecided mass es who decide most elections. If you plan to speak to the press, formulate a solid sound bite in ad vance, before the interviewers starts rolling their tape... and their eyes.

Direct action speaks louder than words. “I can understand being so angry that I’d pick up a brick and throw it through a window,” writes David McReynolds o f the War Resisters League. “But I can’t understand coming to a demonstration with a brick in my shoulder bag just in case I get so angry.” Invariably, a T V news crew will opt for footage o f a burning Mercedes over a nun talking from the podium. Don’t muddy your message with mindless vandalism.

may be worlds apart, the police officer standing opposite you with the pepper spray and Plexiglas sneeze guard is not your enemy. Like you, cops will get tired and cranky when they’ve been on their feet all day without a potty break. De-escalating a vio lent confrontation with police or counter-protesters is always preferable to mopping up after one. That said, being nonviolent doesn’t mean being non-confrontational. Just choose your targets wisely and use your head — not your skull.

Be prepared for changing crowd dynamics. Especially during massive street protest, always have an exit strategy in mind and arrange a time and safe place to regroup if the shit hits the fan. Adopt a buddy system so someone else knows whether you’ve ducked out to the emergency room or Dunkin’ Donuts. Stay focused. Avoid the tempta tion to spread unverified rumors. Sometimes all it takes is a sudden loud bang and a few puffs o f smoker to turn a crowd o f intelligent people into a herd o f frightened sheep. Don’t let yourself become a lamb chop.

Practice creative resistance. Assume you’ll be carrying that placard or yelling that chant for hours. When you come home at the end o f the day hoarse and blistered, take comfort in knowing you conveyed a positive message — or at least gave a few people a good laugh. Granted, not many words rhyme with “Ashcroft,” but with a Bush, a Colin and a Dick banging the war drums, the peace movement has plenty o f fodder for clever symbol ism. Though humor alone may not prevent a war, it can make opposing it more fun. ®

reviewth is DAVE DOUGLAS, F R E A K I N (RCA/Bluebird, CD) Trumpeter Dave Douglas may be the most versatile performer in jazz. He's been the leader of 10 ensembles, from the chamber music of Charms of the Night Sky to genre-benders Witness. Douglas' decade-long career established a rep as a tireless player ready to tackle any musical experiment. Freak In , the New Yorkbased artist's latest effort, is yet another curve ball. Taking a jump from live performance, Freak In was inspired by the possi bilities of the digital recording studio. As is, the album presents Douglas' excursion into a sort of jazz-tronica. The horns are — or at least sound — live, but the tracks are bent and twisted by an array of electronic instrumentation and studio trickery. The songs, especially the title track and "Eastern Parkway" hide Douglas' soaring melodies amongst spiraling guitars and layers

Maybe it's because she's a redhead, but Patty Larkin seems very keen on the color red. Her 1999

release Flaming Red was in many ways a breakout album, and now Red=Luck is poised to take her even higher. By now, you may have heard "Different World," which is getting good airplay from sta tions that favor intelligent folk-rock singer-songwriters. "Sometimes you have to do the impossi ble," she explains in the liner notes for that inspirational song. The message of hope and empower ment is all the more striking when surrounded by songs that reveal vulnerability and doubt.

Filled with mostly round sounds, and fairly cerebral, Raisinhill's self-titled CD is a great chill-out record.

With great dynamics and interesting percussion choices, Raisinhill switches gears from prog rock to

By the time we get to "Normal," which was written shortly after the September 11 attacks, a certain desperation is present: I guess I'm normal after all/Now that normal is crazy/On the wings o f a snow white dove/I'd love you to save me. Possibly the album's most potent image is one born of anger: the Statue of Liberty overlooking the pathetic lives of the working poor, in "Birmingham." Larkin seems to be asking from what hardship these people have been liberated. There is no liberty when you can't pay the bills.

"Home" is ju st her and a guitar, and the effect is a warm, soothing lullaby. The liner notes for "Children" explains the song — and the album, for that matter — perfect

ly: "longing for innocence." The complications of being an adult, and living in a time of violence and chaos, have made Larkin yearn for the opposite — childish fun, stability and unconditional love. "24/7/365" makes it clear that the connection between two people is not one that can be turned on and off when it is convenient. A fear of abandonment comes out in "The Cranes," which she says was inspired by the migration of cranes over Nebraska. She quietly sings out, Only

EXHIBIT "Voyage Into Myth: Gauguin to Matisse, the French Avant-Garde," French masterworks from the Hermitage, St. Petersburg. Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. Through April 27. ARTW O RK

Detail, "The Story of Psyche," by Maurice Denis

auguin first became acquainted with the art and life of Oceania by visiting the Paris Exposition o f 1889. Less than a year after seeing the staged Polynesian villages, he wrote to his estranged wife that he was destined for the South Seas. His voyage from middle-class banker to legendary artistic savage was to have a substantial impact on the artists of the generation that followed him. “Voyage into Myth: Gauguin to Matisse, the French Avant-Garde,” cur rently at Montreal’s Museum of Fine Arts, is a sprawling exhibition of 75 pieces on loan from the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, Russia. Two Muscovite textile merchants, Sergei Shchukin and Ivan Morozov, originally collected most of the work. Soviet authorities confiscat ed their collections shortly after the Bolshevik Revolution, and few of these pieces have appeared in the West until quite recently. “From Cezanne to Picasso” might be a more accurate title, since the exhibi tion actually extends from the genius of Cezanne to the early Cubism of Picasso. Those two bodies o f work solidly bookend the volumes of exuberant color explored by Symbolists, such as Gauguin, and the Fauves, led by Matisse. Cezanne and Picasso are the alpha and omega of the show because they best provide its context. Cezanne links the Impressionists to all later art movements. His views o f the landscape around Provence and the still lifes he is best known for were uniquely

sapped Fauvism of some of its strength, it too has the rich and fiery colors that inspired Andr^ Gide to coin the moniker “Fauves,” i.e., “wild beasts,” in 1905. Two monumental installations also appear in the show: “The Story of Psyche,” by Maurice Denis, and Pierre Bonnard’s “Mediterranean” triptych. Bonnard’s is the stronger o f the two. He expanded his brushwork to fit the scale

They ranged from the brown and olivine skins o f the native girls, for whom he had an insatiable appetite, to the hues o f papaya flesh, orchids and verdant palms. He had learned much about color from observing Van Gogh, his old roommate at Arles. The five Gauguins in this exhibition have closely cropped harmonies similar to Van Gogh’s, based on just two dominant

Picasso, at the other end o f the continuum, pushed Cezanne’s concern for mass to its limits. He finally called into question the nature o f the picture plane itself, becoming the first truly “modern” artist. But Cezanne, and Picasso in that formative stage o f his career, were both producing gray and earth-toned works. “Voyage into Myth” is more like a voy age into the vivid colors o f a dream. The jewel-like blue and red tempera hues of Odilon Redon’s “Woman Laying Under a Tree” are more representative o f the entire exhibition. Redon was a Sym bolist, working almost exclusively from his inner world in the tradition o f poets Mallarm^ and Rimbaud. Although Kerr-Xavier Roussel’s “The Triumph of Bacchus (Rural Festival)” includes the neoclassical impulse that

o f the 13.5-by-l4-foot triptych. But he did not choose a monumental theme. Instead, he portrayed a sunny afternoon in a garden. Denis has several fine small er pieces in the show, but he seems to have overreached in “The Story of Psyche.” It is a bombastic, almost Art Nouveau epic in 11 panels that filled a room in Morozov’s Moscow mansion. Matisse was a master o f light as well as line. The large group of his paintings included in this exhibition shimmers with his open brushwork. His “View of Colliouer” has subtle gaps between one stroke and the next. It is also instructive to observe his paint handling — there are few layers o f color and a very restrained use of mediums. His paint was thin and clean regardless o f varia tions in intensity. Gauguin was a self-proclaimed “sav age” who painted passionate canvasses drenched in the colors o f the tropics.

hues in each canvas. All are either redgreen or yellow-purple — the simplest, or perhaps most “primal,” of chromatic dichotomies. Wracked by addictions, depression and disease, Gauguin at least found some comfort in his reputation. From his shack in the Marquises Islands he wrote in his last letter to poet Charles Morice, “The savage is decidedly better than us. You were mistaken once in saying that I was wrong to say that I am a savage. It is true nevertheless; I am a savage.” By then he was almost blind and unable to walk. Less than a month later, on May 8, 1903, he died of tertiary syphilis. Matisse would for live another 50 years. Ironically it is he, not Gauguin, who is remembered as a Fauve. Picasso lived for seven more decades. The shad ow o f the French avant-garde is very long, and it will probably remain with us forever. (Z)

What began as an idle means to k ill time has turned into a mania for Burlington artist Sean Paul Lambert. You can te ll because he has dubbed himself "The King of Collage." The moniker is probably tongue-in-cheek, and so are many o f his zanily eclectic collage works currently on display in the Daily Planet greenhouse.

ROOM O F H E R OW N

Kidman as irginia Woolf is at work on the novel

Mrs. Dalloway

ow that the various award-granting bodies have whittled the past year’s releases into a manageable list o f nom inees, it might be enlightening to compare briefly two films that, per haps, have the most in common: A bout Schm idt and The Hours. After all, o f last year’s most critical ly praised pictures, these are the two that may be said to offer meditations on the meaning o f life. Where the for mer proved little more than a sitcom dressed up as an art film, however, the latter proved that cheerless, existential ly unflinching literature can provide the basis for exhilarating cinema. Director Stephen {Billy Elliot) Daldrys big-screen version o f Michael Cunningham’s Pulitzer Prize-winning book interweaves the lives o f three groups o f people in three different his torical periods who are linked by mor tal crisis. The film begins with a haunting sequence in which an unrecognizable Nicole Kidman as Virginia W oolf loads a heavy stone into her coat pocket, descends into the river rushing past her Sussex home, drowns and is carried downstream by its current. The opening credits haven’t even appeared yet, and this is meatier stuff than most movies

deal with over their entire running time. After this the film flashes back sev eral years to a time when W oolf had survived a serious mental breakdown. She was about to embark on the writ ing o f her classic novel Mrs. Dalloway in which she envisioned capturing “a woman’s whole life in a single day.” A number o f the novel’s themes res onate in the lives o f characters played by Julianne Moore, Meryl Streep and Ed Harris. Moore is a 1950s house wife marooned in a marriage to which she fears she may prefer death. Streep’s character lives in present-day M an hattan and is preparing to throw a party for an ex-lover who is dying o f A ID S. Harris is spectral in the role. A prize-winning poet, he fears his work has been honored not because it is great but because he is terminally ill. He calls Streep by the sobriquet “Mrs. Dalloway” for the social confidence he senses belies her deep sejf-doubt. In the course o f the story, each o f its central figures plays out his or her drama and comes to a personal reck oning about whether the life they lead is worth continuing. As with W oolf’s book, the whole thing takes place in a single 24-hour period, and it proves an elegantly structured, profoundly

observed achievement. The script by David Hare is a won derful bit o f writing. Philip Glass’ score has come under fire, but impressed me as both innately lovely and entirely suit able to the movies tone. Daldrys direc tion is flawless, and some o f Holly wood’s finest performers do some o f their very finest work. Back in 1990, watching Kidman meet Tom Cruise in Days o f Thunder, who would have guessed that little more a decade later she’d be playing one o f the 20th centu ry’s most influential authors, and not just pulling it off but earning an Oscar nod? The film and Kidman’s work in it handily rank as two o f the past year’s most pleasant surprises. It’s a bummer, a downer, in places nothing short o f depressing and bleak, yet The Hours is so exquisitely conceived and brutally truthful that there’s a chilly thrill to going through it. “To look life in the face,” the actress quotes at the film’s close, “and to know it for what it is. At last, to know it, to love it for what it is and then to put it away.” Life may or may not be everything it’s cracked up to be. This movie most definitely is. (Z)

Making a Scene

rom the 104th Floor is only three minutes long, but Vermont director Serguei Bassine doesn’t need more time to convey on camera the depth o f a poem about September 11, 2001. The short animation illustrates a verse with the same title written by Leda Rodis — age 14 then and 15 now — just after the terrorist attacks. Her mother, Dartmouth College English professor Karen Gocsik, co-produced the piece, which unspooled at the recent Sundance film festival. The three collaborators share a home in Sharon. Narrated by actress Rosie Perez, 104th Floor will be broadcast at 10 p.m. Friday on Vermont Public Televisions “Reel Independents.” Host Kenneth Peck also interviews Bassine and Rodis. The film evolved from a high school poetry assignment, for which Rodis found inspiration in the haunting T V footage o f two people who held hands as they jumped to escape one o f the burn ing towers. “They chose to do it togeth er,” she marvels. “That seemed so loving and humane, especially against the back-

Some passengers though t Bassine was crazy; others were profoundly touched. Showtim e awarded him $ 15,000 . drop o f the scene going on around them ...The poem was a way o f helping me to understand what happened.” On paper, Rodis imagines the moment o f impact. “When the plane hit/the building rocked first/to the right/then/to the left,/and outside all the skyscrapers o f New York/seemed to trem ble,” she begins, later underscoring that perspective with another wrenching stan za: “I look out at the blue morning./I expect to see G od there./But what I really see is/another/plane...” When Gocsik read her daughters work, it was “as if a voice had come up out o f the rubble o f 9/11 and spoken directly to me about what it meant to perish there... One image suggested ter ror to her; the other, love. She chose to write about the love.” A Russian dmigr£ who graduated from Dartmouth, Bassine was working on his master’s degree in film at New York University when Gocsik e-mailed him the poem. He started envisioning how to give it cinematic life. Coincidentally, the cable television channel Showtime was looking for relevant shorts to be programmed on ’ the one-year anniversary o f the tragedy.

As Bassine was putting together his proposal, he got into the habit o f reciting the Rodis poem for subway commuters on the E-Train. “I wanted make sure it jibed with the locals,” he explains. Some passengers thought Bassine was crazy; others were profoundly touched. Showtime eventually awarded him $15,000. That, along with $12,000 o f his own money, allowed him to hire a team o f animators in his native St. Petersburg to help him create the black-and-white film. 104th Floor was invited to Sundance, which also had accepted Bassine’s prize winning N Y U thesis project, Because of M ama, two years ago. Gocsik and Rodis trekked to Utah for the 2003 extravagan za, where their film received standing ovations and an honorable mention. The troika is currently developing another idea. Rodis and Gocsik are pen ning a feature-length script about the lure o f hip-hop culture for teens in a small New England town much like Sharon. Bassine, who plans to shoot it, wouldn’t think o f making movies anywhere else. “I live in this state because, here in Vermont, we do what we want,” he sug gests, sounding like, ahem, a real inde pendent.

E stro g en F est is b a ck — you can almost feel it in your hormones. Subtitled Weekend o f Women’s Films, the third annual three-day Burlington event gets rolling Friday at the FlynnSpace. Seven selections from around the world address topics ranging from body image to repro ductive rights. The D ay I B ecam e a Woman is an Iranian drama that tells three compelling ' stories o f female disenfranchisement. H istory Lessons, a documentary by Barbara Hammer, looks at the evolution o f the gay pride movement in the 20th century. Lourdes Padilla’s Senorita E xtraviada investigates alleged police complicity in the murders o f more than 200 women in Juarez, Mexico. Fire, by Deepa Mahta, explores what can happen in India when wives reject the oppression o f traditional marriages.

Got mutant crops? Percy Schmeiser did but he didn't know it — and it cost him plenty. The Monsanto Corporation sued the Saskatchewan wheat and canola fanner after the agribusiness giant's "patent police" discovered their genetically engi neered strain of canola growing in his fields. They accused Schmeiser of not paying for the right to grow Monsanto's so-called Roundup Ready canola, which was engi neered to resist the company's■ Roundup herbicide. Here's the kicker: Schmeiser,. who had spent more than 40 years cultivating his own strain of I canola the old-fashioned way, says he never planned or even,wanted to grow Roundup Ready canola and doesn't have a due how it ended up in his fields. During his trial, he theorized that GE seeds may have blown onto his land from passing trucks or neighboring fields. Since Schmeiser never used Roundup, he didn't even reap any benefits from Monsanto's genetic engineering. Schmeiseris case became an international cause celebre in March 2001, when a Canadian federal judge ruled that Schmeiser was guilty of multiple patent infringe ments and ordered him to pay the company $15 (Canadian) per acre for his 1,030 acres and $153,000 in Monsanto's court costs, plus surrenr der all profits from his 1998 crop, which totaled about $20,000. Adding insult to genetic injury, Schmeiser lost the right to grow his original strain of canola. The case is now being appealed at the Canadian Supreme Court.

It was risky to plan a reading during Vermont's coldest weather in a hundred years. At 20 minutes before 7, even the author hadn't arrived y e t But Book Rack co-owner Renee Reiner had cozily arranged a small couch and some dozen chairs, and a pot of warming cider sent out an aromatic invitation to sit a spell. Someone from St. Albans had called for direc tions, she said, and that was a good sign. By 7:05, guest-of-honor Bernd Heinrich and some 10 listeners had settled in and peeled off gloves, scarves, hats and poufy coats. Heinrich began by noting that at least the timing for his latest book couldn't have been better. In Winter World: The Ingenuity o f Animal Survival, he details with fascinated devotion how certain critters have evolved to make it through nature's cruelest sea son. He didn't need to note humans' contrasting vul nerability: Our outerwear said it all. On the other hand, the fact that anyone showed up was a small tes tament to human resilience in the face of adversity. And, perhaps, to our shared wonder with the ways of the wild. Heinrich, a trim and compact 62-year-old, is a University of Vermont biologist, an illustrator and award-winning author — Winter World is his seventh book. He has also been a record-shattering ultrama rathoner, though now he has scaled back to mere "jog ging," he said modestly when someone asked. He read brief, accessible passages from what is, in truth, a sci ence book — occasionally challenging for those of us who haven't thought much about molecular weight, mitochondria or Centigrade-Fahrenheit conversions since college. Heinrich annotated the readings — about, for example, the remarkable golden-crowned kinglet, a bird no bigger than a man's thumb —- with anecdotes about creatures he's seen in the woods this winter. Several listeners eagerly responded with their own observa tions. After the reading, as the author signed copies of Winter World, one fan confessed that she and her daughter had read ail his books. Finally we all bundled up for that unpleasant walk to our cars, struck anew by the vagaries of evolution on Planet Earth. —

INDIE ROCK The GOP defection th at shook up the political landscape nearly two years ago makes perfect sense to those who know Senator Jeffords. “Independent" is “a word th a t has always symbol ized my state and my nation and now defines me," Jeezum Jim writes in his newly published autobiography, An Independent Man. He tells all in unflinching d e ta il from his early Rutland days as "Jimmy" to the making of a maverick politician and the pre-derision pressure cooker. Jeffords still believes one person can make a difference, he offers. "My life proves that."

The burning issue of global warming gets a playful spin in Beat the Heat, a musical "ecocabaret" by Wes Sanders. The South Burlington actor and director infuses his spectacle with an "Alice in Wonderland flavor" complete with a 15-foot T. rex "extinction consultant," a formerly "frozen ancestor” who wakes up and smells the smog and a dancing maple tree bemoaning the loss of a sugaring season. Edu-taining songs and dance numbers are set to an eclectic score by local luminary Ellen Powell and a Bourbon Street buffet and cash bar add welcome warmth to Vermont's recent ice age.

Okay...maybe I'll let you in on a couple of things. First of all, gravity was accidental. You guys were originally going to be able to float around propelled by these nifty little fluttering foot wings I had designed.

ARIES (Mar. 21 -Apr. 19): Before he died in late 2001, exBeatie George Harrison recorded the album Braimiutd/ed. Reviewers at People m 'gaztne found it excep tional. “R..Licking, jaunty and wry" they wrote, '’Harrison looked death in the eye and took out his ukulele." I provide this image to inspire you in the com ing week, Aries. W hile you won’t have to deal with an adversary anywhere near as daunting as the Grim Reaper, you will have to face down a pest oi some sort. The best recipe for vic tory is to assume an atrirude that is rollicking, jaunty and wry. W hen you look the skunk or jerk in the eve, pull out a kazoo.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20.M «. 20): Mojo means magic power or uncanny charisma, Ir can also refer to a fertility spell or sexual magnet ism. Cat Yronwode, scholar o f indigenous African-American reli gions, believes that while “mojo” may be a corruption o f the word “magic," its more likely derived from the West African word ‘moj ri ba,” which refers to a prayer o f praise and homage, In voodoo, a m ojo bag is a cloth pouch filled with supernatural charms. "M ojo” Is also invoked to mean the unpre dictable benevolence of a mysteri ous force beyond our com prehen sion or the skill o f a person who has stolen a boon from the gods. 1 hope these definitions will help you make the m ost o f rhe fact that your relationship w ith mojo is nowripening nicely Taurus.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20,: Pollsters asked a thousand kids aged 3-6 which they liked better, daddy or TV. Fifty-three percent asserted

that diev preferred TV. But even if your own inner child might be inclined ro vote with the majority on this question, Gemini, I beg you to go in rhe other direction in the coming weeks. Why? Because you could really use die inspiration o f a father figure: a benevolent older male who can inspire you to acti vate your latent reserves of ferocious willpower and wild confidence.

little extreme for you to adopt, Leo, I urge you to envision your own version of altruistic generosity. How would you help others if you got a windfall? Believe it or not, carrying our rhis imaginative exer cise wilt enhance your ability to attract more money into your life. And it’s the perfect astrological moment to do just that.

CANCER

LEO

S C O R P I O (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You know what you remind me of lately, Scorpio? You’re like gourmet sea salr that has been handharvested on a warm, breezy after noon in late summer from a pristine marsh in Brittany. You are, in. other words, raw and elegant; you’re pri mal and pure; you’re a basic necessi ty but exquisitely unique. 1 trust that you will share your funky sub limity only with those who treat you as both a valuable spice and an essential condiment.

S A G I T T A R I U S (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Astronomers rely on telescopes to gather the observa tions that serve as their raw materi al. N ot all their time is spent gaz ing up at the heavens, however. They have plenty of opportunities to work on “cloudy night prob lems,” interpreting and massaging their dara when the skies are over cast. I’d like to suggest that you’re in an analogous phase, Sagittarius. At least for the moment, you can’t glean any more crucial clues from peering outward into the glittering sprawl around you. Everything you need to know is contained within the observations you have already made and the information you’ve already registered. C A P R I C O R N (Dec. 22Jan. 19): How many times have ’ you wondered what your life would be like if your imagination hadn’t been squelched by the educational system? W hat great happiness and marvelous feats might you have already claimed if your natural love of learning hadn’t been crushed by bad teachers and inept pedagogy? It’s the right astrological rime to

launch a quest to undo the dam age, Capricorn. Imagine I’ve just handed you an undiploma : your official release from the oppression of your, formal education; the beginning of your healing from the wounds perpetrated on you by your early schooling.

A Q U A R I U S CJ«n 20 FA 18): Ifyou were out walking and spied a penny on the sidewalk, would you stoop down to scoop it up? Probably not. Flow about a higher denomination coin? O r is it your policy is to never compromise your dignity for anything less titan a dollar? If so, Aquarius, I encour age you to suspend your usual rule in the next two weeks. Metaphor ically speaking, bending down to snatch a penny will set in motion a series of events that will lead to you finding a hundred-dollar bill. In other words, it’s only by taking advantage of tiny unexpected rewards that you’ll put yourself in a position to harvest the bigger kind,

P I S C E S ( F A . ,9 - M a r . 2 0 ): “Three times my life has opened,” begins Jane Hirshfield’s poem by the same name. “Once, into dark ness and rain. Once, into what the body carries at all times within it and starts to remember each time enters the act o f love. Once, to the fire that holds ail.” Now that you’) had your imagination piqited by ’ Hirshfield’s testimony, Pisces, I’d like you to survey your, memories and identify die magic moments when your own life opened. Jot down a few notes about them, please. That should prune you to recognize and be ready for the ne>: big window of opportunity, which will arrive any day now.
