VOLUNTEER ARMY Peter Freyne wonders why, as the body count continues to mount in the Iraq war, there continues to be a lack of antiwar demonstration on our college campus and on our streets [“Inside Track,” April 21]... One thing Peter Freyne and I have in common is that we’re both old enough to remember the protests during the Vietnam War, whose par ticipants swelled from the thousands to the millions by 1970. Having said that, the answer to Freyne’s questions should be as obvious to him as it is to me: During the Vietnam War, we had the draft. During this war, we don’t — and haven’t since 1973. The peace movement in America has to face a cold, hard reality: The protests during Vietnam had more to do with the fact that the vast majority of the troops who fought in Vietnam were draftees... It’s hard to protest against a war involving U.S. troops when all of the troops doing the fighting volunteered to join the armed forces. [The] only thing that will likely touch off the kind of protests there were during the Vietnam War is the re-imposition of the draft. And, in fact, several con gressmen — most notably Charles Rangel (D-NY) and Charles Hegel (R-IL) are calling for jusij. that. There are a couple of problems with that. Because we’ve been without a draff for so long: 1) the Pentagon is dead-set against it, because it doesn’t want the relive the plague of discipli nary problems that were epidemic among draftees during the Vietnam era; 2) the Constitution requires

AUDITCIRCULATION

Congress to issue a formal declaration of war before it can pass legislation to re-impose the draff — an act it hasn’t done since 1941. For Congress to do otherwise would violate the involun tary-servitude clause of the 13th Amendment... I seriously doubt that Congress — in an election year — has the political cojones to do either.

meet federal quotas for funding. Sleeper’s $212 million makebelieve street-value figure is an excel lent argument to decriminalize and tax the herb to help cover the cost of much-needed rehab facilities. After all, it is his state police that have failed to keep our kids off dangerous drugs as well as prescription drugs out of our schools.

COOKED NUMBERS? Ken Picard’s “Smoke and Mirrors?” [April 21] gave me a lobe short-cir cuit. How dare the Commissioner of Public Safety, Kerry Sleeper, prey on the naivety of our elected representa tion by slamming them with the Drug Enforcement Administration’s propaganda. As a 27-year veteran of the Vermont State Police force, Sleeper reveals he has learned nothing about marijuana and those who choose to use it. Even a lay person knows it takes a minimum average of 45 days for a flowering female marijuana plant to reach maturity. And Sleeper’s calcula tions of marijuana fly in the face of the Federal Sentencing Guidelines Drug Equivalency Tables. The Drug Equivalency Table equates one mari juana plant to yield 100 grams. One hundred grams equals 3.5 ounces, which is less than 1 pound. I submit the Commissioner intentionally over estimated marijuana production by 53,460 pounds because it is the Drug Enforcement Administration that cal culates 448 grams (1 lb.) per plant to

SUPPORT FARM BILL I’m writing in favor of the Farmer Protection Act, a bill before House leg islators that would protea every Ver mont farmer from the financial dam ages of genetically engineered (GE) crops [“Local Matters,” April 14]. We currently have a situation where a farmer can lose the market for his or her crops due to GE con tamination. A farmer can also be sued by a biotechnology company if the company’s GE trait (their patent ed product) accidentally turns up in the farmer’s field. Today, a Vermont farmer is liable for unintended con sequences. The Farmer Protection Act presents a remedy. In the case of biotech liabilities, today’s default arrangement, where the victim pays, flies in the face of reason. Instead, with the commercial applica tion of a company’s patent, an obliga tion to do no harm should be pre sumed. After all, a company should bear the consequences for the harm its product causes. If GE crops are as harmless as the biotech industry

claims, why then, the overwhelming resistance by the industry and its champions in the Douglas Administra tion to assume the same responsibili ties and liability assumed by other manufacturers in this country? Industry safety claims are dubious.

Some GE supporters have expressed concern that if liability is rightly directed at the producer in this case, then access to genetically engineered seeds would be denied to Vermonters. This denial would sup posedly arise by an industry fleeing accountability for the potential harms of their current practices. We actually have people stating they think it’s okay for Vermont’s farmers to contin

ue assuming liability for damages brought by the biotech industry. It confounds me to think GE propo nents evidently possess more faith in the safety of biotech products than the biotech industry does. The beauty of the Farmer Protection Act is that it protects all Vermont farmers, regardless of their feelings about and usage of GE seeds. The Act does not pit one farming group against another, but is winning legislation for all of us.

ANTI-PROG Kudos to Kevin Kelley and Tim Newcomb for a great article in the April 21 issue of Seven Days, “The Prog Prognosis.” The article does a good job of pointing out the Progressive Party’s shift from its orig inal mission to oust the status quo of political-boss rule in Burlington in an effort to advance progressive ideals to its current focus on fighting to preserve its own hierarchy and power base. O f course, the Progs would ardently deny the gist of the article — that they have become irrelevant in advancing causes regu larly and traditionally championed

by Democrats because, as Phil Fiermonte claims, the Democrats cannot be trusted since they are “beholden to big-money interests.” However, readers should decide for themselves whether Mr. Fiermonte’s claim is hypocritical or merely ironic in light of the fact that he raised $6077.69 in his recent bid to retain his seat on the Burlington City Council. This is three times the amount raised by his Democratic opponent and five to six times the average amount spent in other City Council races in 2004. Quite aJjaul, but not surprising in light of the financial backing called on to sup port his campaign, including the Champlain Valley Labor Council, Sheet Metal Workers Local #63, Ironworkers Local 474 and the Sanders for Congress campaign fund (which can well afford it with $624,972 in cash on hand as of March 31, 2004). Now, who is it that’s beholden to special interests and their money trough, again?

Jake Perkinson BURLINGTON

PRO-PROG After I read Kevin Kelley’s article on the Vermont Progressive Party [“The Prog Prognosis,” April 21], I was motivated to write in support of their members. The issue with which I have been most closely associated and worked the hardest on, with many others at the Statehouse, is that of decriminal izing medical marijuana. That is Y6U A ^ M E v 'm t Y 'V e AU. EITHER B E E N SENEnCAUX W W E b - OR N E E A T t

where I have seen the patient endurance of members of the Progressive Party who are working the hardest to get this bill passed. Some of them, in particular Rep. David Zuckerman from Burlington, have been working on this issue for well over five years. They deserve a lot of credit for their perseverance. Another newcomer to the politi cal scene and the Vermont Progressive Party is Jim Lockridge in Burlington’s Ward 5. He ran against the incumbent, Bill Keogh, for City Council and received a surprising number of votes. He listened to the people of Ward 5 and supported decriminalizing medical marijuana. The advisory motion passed there by 85 percent and caused Keogh (also a State Representative on the key Health and Welfare Committee) to support it, something he hadn’t done before the election/referendum. Because they are consistendy hard working and not beholden to the leadership of the other two major par ties, they are able to chart their own course. I think this is an important role of the Progressive Party in our state. They are making a significant contribution to the political leadership and direction of Vermont’s legislative process. I believe that because of their work on this and many other impor tant issues, they will continue to be a critical part of the Vermont political landscape for quite some time.

Circ C lim ax uite the show Friday in federal court as Judge William Sessions grilled the attor neys about the proposed Circumferential Highway. The two big questions from Judge Billy were: 1. How can the government, and Gov. Jim Douglas, claim the purpose of the Circ is to spur economic development and create jobs when the governments own fig ures show less than 1 percent job growth resulting? 2. Has there ever been a project like this that got the green light despite relying on a 17-year-old, and arguably out-of-date, Environmental Impact Statement? Sessions suggested to Assistant U.S. Attorney Carol Shea that one example of a difference between now and 1986 is the current concern about “sprawl.” “We don’t use that word,” said Shea. The government, she said, prefers to use the phrase “unintended growth.” Cute. The Circ Curse also proved itself alive and well. After the hearing, it was learned the state will be paying the construction company $30,000 a day in penalties because the contract signed in November stipulated construction would start on May 1. Judge Sessions’s decision isn’t due until May 10. It would have been May 1, but on . March 7, the government asked for a delay to file documents. This week we also learned the projected cost of the Circ has miraculously shot up by another $40 million. The total cost is now estimated at $222 million. Ail to reduce cross-county automobile travel time by seven seconds, according to the govern ment’s figures. Seven seconds! Meanwhile, the Douglas administration argues there’s no money available for a dialysis unit in Newport or a milk-processing plant in Springfield for Vermont dairy farmers. To this observer, Circ opponents carried the day in court. Especially sharp was Geoffrey Hand of the up-and-coming Burlington firm Shems Dflnkiel Kassel & Saunders (www.sdkattorneys.com). Geoff Hand took the point in the dourt-'room despite being a rookie. He graduated Vermont Law School just last summer. Finished second in' his class. The guy’s got a , future. Meanwhile, Monday is D-Day for the Circ. Transportation Secretary Patricia McDonald is confident her side will win and the bulldozers will roll. Asked if she’ll have two speeches prepared, just in case, McDonald replied, “I only have one.”

Lunch With Jim — Quite the interesting journalism crew lunching at Leunig’s Bistro Monday: Burlington Free Press Publisher Jim Carey, Executive Editor Mike Townsend and axed op-ed columnist Barrie Dunsmore! As regular readers know, Mr. Carey was not a fan of Mr. Dunsmore’s and last month ordered Editorial Page Editor David Awbrey to dump him. The dismissal fol lowed a thought-provoking Dunsmore col umn highlighting the damage done by all

—Megan-Anne and Elaine Forsythe forms of religious fundamentalism, both at home and abroad. Dunsmore retired from a storied interna tional career a few years ago and moved to Charlotte, Vermont. Until last month, things had been pretty quiet — a pleasant change, no doubt, from his tenure covering the world’s hottest hot spots. Dunmore’s dismissal last month by Vermont’s largest daily newspaper — owned and operated by the Virginia-based Gannett media empire — roused a few hackles among readers. Dozens of letters to the edi tor were sent to the Freeps. None, however, has been published. Last week, we ran one letter here. It was from Ted Koppel, host of ABC’s “Nightline” and one of the nation’s most respected journalists. We also reported the comments of Peter Jennings who indicated he was contacting the head of Gannett to complain about Dunsmore’s shoddy treatment. Perhaps that sparked Monday’s lunch? As usual this week, Mr. Carey did not respond to our request for an interview. Jim Carey may be* the only newspaper publisher in America who, as a rule, does not talk to the press. For Mr. Carey, it’s all about the bottom line. Meanwhile, the anti-union Freeps is not known for its generous wages. Over the years we’ve known reporters in the revolv ing-door newsroom who’ve had to take sec ond jobs to make ends meet. Go figure. Perhaps Jim Carey’s next step will be the outsourcing of editorial jobs? As‘it is, the top editors are transplants to Vermont. The executive editor is from Iowa. The editorial page editor blew in from Kansas. The editorial writer is from Toronto. And the paper’s only local news column, by Sam Hemingway, has disap peared (not with a bang, but a whimper?). Surely, the way things are going, the Freeps’ next cost-saving move will be to eliminate local reporting and editing jobs. Surely Gannett reporters and editors could cover Vermont just ^ well by phone from Vif^ftid1<$rJ perhaps, New Delhi. As it is, the^ rarely leave the building. ; Ariyu&y Barrie Dmfsfhore’s not coming back, at Itpst not in the local daily. Word is the Mitchell papers, the Rutland Herald and the Barre-Montpelier Times Argus are interested. At Leunig’s Monday, Carey made the pitch that his decision to axe Dunsmore was not based on the publisher’s personal reli gious beliefs nor on Dunsmore’s criticism of homegrown religious fundamentalism. Carey, as everyone knows, is high on Jesus. Praise the Lord! He even has a Jesus bumper sticker to prove it. According to Dunsmore, Carey apolo gized over lunch for “the way this was han dled.” He attributed it to bad communica tion on the part of the Freeps. Dunsmore informed Carey he was more interested in “why” he was abruptly drop ped, rather than “the way it was handled.” According to Dunsmore, Carey told him he thought the column was appearing “too IN S ID E T R A C K »

Curses, Foiled Again When police responded to a call from a closed gas station on Whidbey Island, Washington, they found an 18-year-old man lying on the floor with blood on his jacket and all over the store. He told the officers that two men beat him when he caught them burglarizing the place. Then the officers noticed the mans pockets were stuffed with packs of cigarettes and decided to check the surveil lance tape. It showed the man cutting his hand on a glass door he broke while break ing in. He then tried and failed to open the cash register, helped himself to some ciga rettes and fled. He returned moments later, again failed to open the register, grabbed more cigarettes and called 911. “Criminals are not particularly smart,” Island County

Sheriff’s representative Jan Smith said. “That’s how they get caught.” • A German man buying $90 worth of beer and cigarettes at a Berlin gas station handed the clerk a credit card. “When I looked at the credit card, I saw it was my name,” said the clerk, named Heiko, who immediately locked the man inside the store and called police, explaining that he recently ordered a credit card that never arrived. “It was not a common name,” a police official said, “so there was no chance of coincidence.”

Not a Moment Too Soon a drug to treat both smoking and obesity could be on the market as early as next year, accord ing to researchers at several U.S. universi ties. “The potential is very large here,” said Dr. Lowell Dale, associate professor of medicine at the Mayo Clinic and a princi pal investigator in a study examining the

detective, using his high-school Spanish, informed the illegal immigrant, “You have the right to carry silent,” instead of, “You have the right to remain silent.”

Litigation Nation Three inmates at the Washington, D.C., jail, who claimed they were shot by an unknown assailant while in the jail’s maximum-security wing, were charged with arranging to be shot so they could sue the city for failing to protect them. Prosecutors said that inmate Shawn Green, 32, smuggled a small-caliber hand gun into the jail and used it to shoot him self and three other inmates. One of the inmates, who told Green he didn’t want to be shot but was, informed investigators about the scheme. Irony Illustrated Police were called to break up a brawl at a Baltimore County,

plans to begin selling the worlds first lowspeed automobile cruise control, able to stop and go automatically. The system, which the automaker will unveil this sum mer but only to Japanese customers because of what the company called product-liability concerns in the United States, allows a car to follow the vehicle in front of it at speeds of 19 mph or lower, stopping the car if it gets too close without the driver responding. The system will cost buyers $750.

Incendiary Devices Southern Living magazine recalled 200,000 copies of its April issue from newsstands and alerted sub scribers by mail because it made a mistake in a recipe for dinner rolls that burned at least five readers. The published recipe incorrectly instructed cooks to boil a cup of water and a half-cup of shortening over high heat for five minutes. But that, the maga zine warned, can cause the melted grease to rise to the top of the saucepan, trapping the hot water and causing an explosive burst.

The correction advised pouring a cup of boiling water over the shortening in a large bowl, then stirring to melt the shortening. • Rabbi Moishe Shick, 27, was severely burned during a religious ceremony in a New York City Hasidic neighborhood where fires occur every buir chometz. The Daily News reported that Shick was burning leavened bread in a 5-gallon bucket outside Brooklyn’s Breslov Synagogue before the start of Passover, but the wind kept the fire from going. Shick poured paint thinner on the bread. A crowd of witnesses told police the liquid burst into a fireball, burning Shick and four other participants. “Every one was saying, ‘That’s not the right way to do it,”’ Eli Sharf said. “He said he was just going to put in a drop.” Another witness, Yoakov Baum, 20, told the paper, “I saw him running toward me, all on fire. He was covered with flames.” * • A 13-year-old New York City girl suffered minor burns when her pants caught on fire while riding a Queens subway. Investigators determined that the fire was started by a hair clip that had been attached to a heater underneath the bench-type seat. The clip became hot from the heater and ignited fringes on the girl’s jeans. “She was wearing the strangest pants,” a token booth clerk told Newsday, describing the jeans as look ing like chaps that a cowboy might wear. “What she was wearing, she had to catch on fire.” • When firefighters responding to emergen cies in Melbourne, Florida, forgot to turn off a fryer in the kitchen of their fire sta tion, they returned to find the station on fire. “We’re human, and this kind of relays that to the public, that we’re just as human as them, and we make our own mistakes,” Battalion Chief Robert Apel said after the building suffered fire and smoke damage.

Crying W o lfg a n g ? stute readers of the new Vermont Mozart Festival brochure may note a few gaps — not in the programming, but in the corporatesponsorship department. Four of the 19 con certs in the 31st season, which runs from July 18 to August 8, lack the imprimatur of a big business such as Hydro Quebec or Vermont Tent Company. Corporate cash is an essential component in the festivals $750,000 budget. However, another crucial gap has just been filled: VMF has hired a new executive director, Pamela Siers. The position had 1 been vacant since the end of December, fol lowing the three-month tenure of previous exec director Carol Canfield.

Anywhere you go, you can say Vermont Mozart Festival and someone will relate to at least one of those words. P A M E L A SIERS, V M F E X E C U TIV E D IR EC TO R '

The sponsorship shortfall was due in part to that vacancy, says Siers, who began work April 13. “Since the brochure went to the printer, a lot of sponsorship areas have been filled,” she adds. “I would say we have probably reached our goal.” Culture vultures may recall Siers’ name from her last high-profile gig. She was exec utive director of the Vermont State Craft Center from 1986 to ’93, during which time she opened the Frog Hollow galleries in Burlington and Manchester. Since then, she’s headed up the Angels Gate Cultural Center in Los Angeles and worked as a partner in an arts management firm in Richmond, Virginia, doing consultancies with visual artists. W hat brings her back to the Green Mountains and Mozart? “The challenge,” Siers replies. In her new position, she will report to VMF’s board of directors. And who does co founder and artistic director Melvin Kaplan report to? She ponders the question and diplomatically replies, “Who does Mr. K. work for? He works for Mr. K.” Kaplan has the final say in most operational matters, she adds, explaining, “It’s a somewhat unusual situation because he’s not just the artistic director, he is the face of this organization.” Siers isn’t worried about butting heads, though. “I have the highest regard for him and his talent and for what he created here,” she says. “Is he difficult? I’m sure he can be. Am I difficult? You bet I am.” Siers’ plans for the future at VMF include “implementing some new organiza tional structure” as well as building mem bership and national recognition. She says that the festival already has a head start in the latter: “Anywhere you go, you can say Vermont Mozart Festival and someone will relate to at least one of those words.”

Sharp’s Growling Pub Theater Festival at Magic Hat several years ago but has been out of circulation for a while. Now he’s back in action with big ambitions and a brand new company — the Vermont Theatre Ensemble. “Our goal isn’t merely to take Theatre in Burlington to the next level,” he proclaims in a press release. “Our goal is to take Theatre in Burlington to the highest level.” Asked what that level might entail, he’s quick to add that he doesn’t mean to cast aspersions on any of the pro ductions already happening here. He just thinks there’s room for growth. “The reason I think there isn’t more pro fessional theater in town,” he elaborates, “is that we as artists have failed to provide audiences with theater they can support.” He hopes to fill that need with a twoplay season at Champlain College’s Alumni Auditorium, beginning with David Mamet’s American Buffalo May 13-27 and continuing with Don Nigro’s Seascape with Sharks and Dancer in July. Buffalo has what amounts to an all-star cast, Burlington-style — John D. Alexander, Aaron Masi and Dennis McSorley, all of whom have shown a flair for dark Mamet-esque comedy. Evans’ casting also yielded an unexpected bonus. He was still searching for a venue when one of his actors — Alexandra Sevakian, who’s in Seascape — suggested he contact her mother, Joanne Farrell, the head of Champlain Theater at the college. It wasn’t until they talked that he discovered he’d also cast another of Farrell’s relatives: John Alexander is her son-in-law. “She was very interested in finding ways of [Champlain Theater] being more available to the community,” says Evans, and the family ties sealed the deal. Evans thinks there’s a theater renaissance afoot in Burlington. “We have actors who have been doing theater for 25, 30 years,” says the director, who supports his theater habit by working the night shift at a mental health facility. “Some of us have taken a break and we’re coming back. It’s a collective thing — this nr; u i - f f jsth e next step.’ %■

happy tu n e... Back in January, I reported that a gendeman had stood up during the ori entation session for Lyric Theatre Company’s The King and I and asked whether bald peo ple had an edge in getting cast. Turns out the hirsute questioner, Mark Cranmer, didn’t have to worry: The production team happily shaved his pate and cast him as the King. And a good choice it was, too. Last Saturday night he and Kelly Kendall, who played Anna, won a deserved standing O for their com manding performances. OK, maybe they were both a little more, um, ample than one expects the King and Anna to be, but they made a charming pair nonetheless. This was my first experience of a Lyric production, and it was a pleasure: The lavishly detailed sets and cos tumes, well-trained ensemble and lovely voices did justice to Rodgers & Hammerstein and to Lyric’s 30th anniversary. ®

sandwich board advertising a veggie burger lunch special stands out in Rutland. In fact, the cafe known as Back H om e Again looks more like a Burlington restaurant than a Rut-Vegas one. The interior recalls M uddy Waters, with its multiple levels and dark driftwood decor. T he healthy food options, spelled out on a large blackboard, suggest Stone Soup. The table-card ordering process is 100 percent Mirabelles. W hat sets Back H om e Again apart from every other eatery in Vermont is signaled by the waitress — an elderly woman with gray braids and a long flowing dress. H er smiling, makeup-free face says “old hippie,” but she offers religious literature along with the chicken wrap, pickle and potato chips. A crowd o f business people and young mothers keeps her busy at noontime. But Zahara, as she calls herself, is also serving a bigger, tougher customer: Jesus Christ. T he income she generates goes to support her “com m unity” — a local religious group that runs the restaurant and lives together in three houses nearby. “We give up our s e l v e s Zahara says, still beaming. “We suffer for a good cause.” T hat cause is the gospel according to “Twelve Tribes,” a Christian sect that adheres to a literal interpretation o f the Bible — and, at least here in Rutland, makes a mean lentil soup.

K ingdom C om m unity C hurch, the group gained notoriety in 1984 w hen the state charged its adult m embers w ith using systemic corporal punish m ent to discipline their children. State troopers forcibly removed all the youngsters in a raid that was later declared unconstitutional by Judge Frank Mahady. After that, some members o f the com m unity moved to Burlington, where the welcome was no warmer. Nonetheless, they opened a retail outlet called Strictly Verm ont in the storefront now occu pied by M uddy Waters. Its handcrafted interior inspired awe, but the religious literature attracted protesters. Twelve Tribes advocates traditional, Adam-and-Eve gender roles — m an is destined to work “by the sweat o f his brow,” wom an to “receive the pain o f childbirth.” T he com m unity eschews m odern medicine and vehemently rejects YiW iV* %* *»VfViV» • »»»*■»*>*.»»'•*•'* i *-V-‘ ~V * *•*■ •*-**-■'•»*;*4i «.

homosexuality. Members justify their scriptural interpretation o f morality as preparation for the Second Coming. To a non-theologian, the doctrine sounds like a mixture o f Christian fundam ental ism, O rthodox Judaism and countercultural con sciousness — with a healthy dose o f Amish work ethic thrown in. Entrepreneurial zeal does not begin to describe the industriousness of this Jesus-loving group, which now has communities all over the world. W hile in Island Pond, it started a soap and skincare business. The operation moved to Rutland and, before long, had landed a huge contract sup plying Estee Lauder. But the cosmetics company stopped doing business with Twelve Tribes when it got wind o f their views on child labor. T he com m unity not only homeschools its kids, it believes in work as an integral part o f a child’s education. O n a dime, the Rutland group switched indus tries. It started im porting mate — a South American tea.said to be healthier, but no less stim ulating, than coffee. The source? A Brazilian Twelve Tribes com m unity that harvests the raw material and ships it north to Rutland for packag ing. For the last few years, the 50-member clan behind the thriving cafe on Center Street has also been distributing Yerba Mate to health-food stores all over the country. But to taste a carob-m int mocacchino mate, you have to visit Back H om e Again. At the back o f the restaurant, a couple o f steps lead up to a pub-sized cafe serving tela,J,coffee^ Sriibothies, chai and every variety o f mate imaginable — hot and cold, steeped and French-pressed. Self-serve ther moses dispense five flavors: regular, dark roast, carob m int, chai and hibiscus lime. But the espres so bar is where the action is. T he mate latte, which has a clean, grassy taste, comes with just the right am ount o f froth and a sprinkle o f nutmeg. T he machinery is staffed by a ponytailed young man in Carhartts and a plaid shirt. H e looks like a University o f Vermont student — indeed, Steve Howes was a diehard Phish fan until he found something bigger to follow. H e’s clean-shaven, though, unlike all the other male members of Twelve Tribes. “I’m under cover,” he says with a laugh. “I don’t have a beard.” M ost “disciples” get a Hebrew name upon join ing the community. Howes became Kesher, which he translates as “necessary link.” Operating the espresso machine, he looks to be living up to his moniker. H e’s well versed in the health benefits o f the featured beverage and is developing a couple o f new flavors for the summer, including “iced chai latte” and a “dark roast mate m ocha.”

Jobs assignments in the restaurant are practical. The older women tend to work as servers. Younger women — who aren’t taking care of children at home — end up in the kitchen. Michael Delaney often mans the grill. Although he dislikes the “leader” designation, everyone refers to the gentlemannered, 42-year-old father o f five as “the shep herd.” T hat also makes him the de facto restaura teur^ 4 fy V, 1 Running a restaurant using a monastic manage m ent model has its challenges. There’s no payroll to worry about, and the restaurant is a ready source o f food for the “family.” But staffing can be a prob lem, especially given the hours — the restaurant and mate bar are open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. “It takes more people than we do it w ith,” Delaney says with a laugh, noting it’s not unusual for Back H om e Again to serve 150 lunches a day. All the baked goods, except the wraps, are made on the premises. “We take a lot of care serving good food to peo ple,” Delaney says — a business endeavor that is compatible with the com m unity’s own healthy approach to eating. “We can’t afford hospital bills,” he quips. But since quality ingredients are expensive, he notes, “We’re not rolling in dough here.” The restaurant buys local and organic when it’s available and is an active member o f the Vermont Fresh Network. The group also takes advantage o f its LoHimunity connections to get fresh produce. Avbcados are sent from a Twelve Tribes com m unity in California. Carrots come from a farm in Bellows Falls. If it weren’t for the evangelical literature, and the kids running around on a school day, Back H om e Again would feel like any other crunchy lunch spot. And that, apparently, is what most o f the locals think. For the most part Rutlanders seem to have accepted their unusual neighbors — or at least their hospitality. T he place is packed on a Friday afternoon. Over by the wall o f mugs, one big-haired lady comments to another, “I love this place.” W ould Burlington? “N ah, n ah,” Delaney says, insistent. “As soon as they found out who we were, we w ouldn’t last long.” H e and Howes note the irony o f intolerance am ong the politically cor rect. N either one is convinced that Q ueen C ity citizens w ould let their stomachs get the better o f them . “Some people come here and eat — and they don’t like us — b ut they still eat here,” Delaney observes. “T hey know where to come for lunch.” (7)

Dear Cecil, A friend of mine told me that i f I wanted a low-calorie snack, I should eat celery because it actually has negative calories. He claimed this meant that I would burn more calories chewing and digesting the celery than I would actually getfrom it. Is what he claims true? Are there any other negative-caloriefoods? Oh, and you wouldn’t happen to know a good low-calorie dip for the celery would you? — Christopher Moore via the Internet

Moreover, one usually reliable source, the Urban Legends Reference Pages at www.snopes.com, says that while the negative-calorie shtick on the whole is a crock, what you’ve heard about celery is true. However, no corrob oration of this statement is supplied. Our mission therefore was clear: Time to conduct anoth er experiment in the Straight Dope Kitchen of Science.

remainder one stalk at a time on our Cuisinart precision portion scale — 757 grams total. (The scale lets you figure it in ounces too, but we’re great believers in the metric sys tem, and besides, “grams” will look classier when our report is published in the New EnglandJournal of Medicine.) Further research revealed that celery contains about 14 kilo calories (what you layfolk call just plain “calories”) per 100 grams, so we were looking at 106 calories’ worth of the veg etable. We then commenced a rigorous regimen of celery con sumption. This was tougher than you might think — you don’t lay into a plateful of celery with the same enthusiasm you might have for an equivalent quantity of barbecued ribs. er an hour I’d eaten eight stalks. (I was interrupted a couple times, thankfully.) All things considered, I think I packed away as much of the stringy stuff as could reason ably be expected. Total consumption: 514 grams. Total calo ries ingested: 72. There’s no easy way to determine how much more ener gy you expend chewing and digesting celery than you would if you were just sitting there. However, it’s fair to say that when eating celery, you’re using more energy than you’re taking in. Bear in mind that you burn roughly 60 calories per hour while asleep, 85 while eating, and — I think this is interesting — 130 while doing “computer work.” (I was tapping away at the keyboard while munching my celery; obviously whoever figured these things out understands the intense concentration required to produce this column.) According to one calorie calculator I found, I need 78 calo ries per hour just to support my body weight. The unavoid able conclusion? If I did nothing but eat celery and write the Straight Dope all day, I’d waste away to a twig. Does that mean there’s something to this negative-calorie business? Yes and no. Some advocates expound a vague and fanciful theory that neg-cal foods ramp up your metabolism by stimulating surplus production of some sort of enzyme, the idea apparently being that you’ll blast calories into the void like a Bessemer converter. This is clearly nonsense. If it were that easy, everyone would be thin already. On the other hand, the calorie content of many vegeta bles is pretty low. Chinese cabbage, cucumber and lettuce are all about the same as celery; asparagus has 20 to 23 calo ries per 100 grams, depending on who’s counting, carrots 25 to 43, broccoli 26 to 34. By contrast, even 95 percent lean hamburger has at least 170. Except at the bottom of the range you won’t have a net loss of calories while eating vegetables, but you won’t gain much either. Of course, if you start loading up your celery with peanut butter or French onion dip — even no-fat dips run about 25 calories per two-tablespoon serving (oops, 30-milliliter serving), which where I come from might get you through one stalk — sorry, pal, all bets are off.

BY RICK KISQNAK

T H E O T H E R T V G U ID E

T h e A m e ric a n W ay ike many a non-media-sawy member of the public, you may labor under the naive delusion that a critics professional duties are limited to watching screeners of movies and TV shows at home in his underwear while everyone else is talking about movies and TV shows around the water cooler at work. OK, that’s true. But what you might not realize is that media critics have rules to live by just like you do. We are not the renegades and free spirits you proba bly think we are. For example, I just received a stern warning from the critics group to which I belong. It seems I’ve put my membership in jeopardy. Have I plagiarized the work of another reviewer? O f course not. Am I late in paying my dues? Well, yes, but that’s beside the point. The reason I’m in hot water is that, after all this time, I have yet to write a column on “American Idol.” Evidendy I’m the only media critic in the country who hasn’t. I had hoped to keep it that way, too. After all, it isn’t as if the program’s phenomenal popularity hasn’t been duly noted. Can there possi bly be anything left to say? I guess we’ll find out. Before railing against the many things about “American Idol” that annoy, offend or revolt me, a disclaimer: I love the show. Like virtually everyone else in this entertainment-obsessed nation, I’m hopelessly addicted. And I’m not sure I understand why. ■ > <JPhe sojigs, foijfhe mosj^pgrt, are sin easy-listening nightmare. The young contestants range in ability from com paratively competent to wincingly inept. And, when it comes to the judging process, all I can say is, there was less rigging on 19th-century ships. Clearly, Randy, Paula and every celebrity judge who’s ever appeared on the program have taken an oath of obse quiousness. To heighten the entertain ment value of Simon Cowell’s truthful and occasionally brutal comments, the show’s producers seem to have stipulated that everyone else on the panel find some thing nice to say about each performance. The people responsible for the show have now gone totally overboard with this, as with almost everything else. Current promos tout Cowell as the show’s “villain.” Consider the message this sends to impressionable young

•".T ...

viewers: Lie like a rug and you can be the leader of the' free world; tell the truth and you’re a bad guy. I mentioned the program’s increasing tendency to take a good thing and run it into the ground. The unfortunate fact is that, over the past three years, “American Idol” has mutated from an homage to celebrity into an orgy of exploitation, cross-promotion and unchecked greed. Things started out innocently enough. At the end of season one, 20-year-old Kelly Clarkson was the last one standing and the first “AT alum to put out her own album. Thankful failed to leave most reviewers feeling that way, but it sold like hotcakes due in part to the singer’s frequent promo appearances throughout season two. In the meantime, some behind-thescenes smartypants got the bright idea that what Clarkson and fellow finalist Justin Guarini needed wasn’t more tal ent but more exposure. And, faster than you could say beach blanket boneheads, moviegoers were avoiding From Justin to Kelly in droves. Not that flopping at the box office discouraged the show’s producers from attempting to milk every last cent from their well-known but essentially inden tured servants. To the contrary, it seemed to send them into a frenzy. Several of the 2002 season’s unsuccessful contestants were also sent into recording studios to work on solo releaseS^fafT were roundftd up reproduce a group CD. And still program management wasn’t finished with them. The group was then bussed off on a cross-country tour. Loserpalooza! Season two was even weirder. Ruben Studdard came in first with voters, but it was runner-up Clay Aiken whose record made number one. His Measure o f a Man has sold more than 1.4 million copies, while Studdard’s Soulful and a collection of Christmas standards per formed by another assortment of “AI” nonwinners failed to meet expectations. At least nobody made a movie. Which brings us to the current sea son, a shameless pyramid scheme of unprecedented broadcast opportunism. Where to begin? How about with the fact that “AI” has turned into a contest without losers? Ejected contestants virtually walk out

While bean counters at “Idol” have sunk ever lower in recent months, they presumably, have struck rock bottom with the sideshow exploitation of the spectacularly talent-free William Hung. The Chinese-American engineering stu dent was one of thousands who tried out for the current season and failed to make the grade. In a cruel twist, howev er, his renditioa of the Ricky Martin hit “She Bangs” was so comically awful that show producers sensed it had the poten tial to make them mountains of money while they made fun of him. The upshot: The show aired Hung’s clueless performances over and over, he’s become the country’s unofficial anti-idol, and, of course, he’s released an album. I’m far from the only one who has been offended by this manipulation. “Hung’s moment in the pop culture sun should have ended [with his audition],” wrote David Browne in his Entertain ment Weekly review of Inspiration. “But such is not the way contemporary enter tainment — or anything associated with The morning after minimally gifted American Idol’ — works... Even in a Jon Peter Lewis was given the boot, I business with a high threshold for shame, Inspiration is shameless.” watched him philosophically explain to Katie Couric that he didn’t have time to If there is anything weirder than a guy be bitter. He was too busy working on like Hung even haying a moment in the his album. pop-culture suft, it is the way “AI” gains How about the fact that a release fea prestige as ij gets cheesier. Paul McCartney turing all 12 of this season’s contestants - is considering a request to do guest-judge — American Idol Soul Classics — is 4uty,gext season. Bob Etylan'sjpeople have already in stores? ** alreadycalled the program’s people. How about the way the show’s pro-!*., Joru^Mitchell once had a line about ducers have started attracting sponsors “the starmaking machinery,” and she by arranging for contestants to perform meant it disparagingly. But these are dif in their commercials? Recent episodes ferent times, and the notion of a per have featured spots for Ford in which former privately honing his art over years remaining members of the lineup per — or even aspiring to be an artist — is form the Devo chestnut, “Whip It.” An out of date. Today we’re not concerned “American Idol” breakthrough: celebrity with artists so much as with stars. We endorsements by kids who aren’t even like our stars prepared as quickly as our celebrities yet. Aren’t there child-labor Big Macs, and “American Idol” has laws against this sort of thing? become the golden arches of fast fame. And then there’s that “American Idol” I get a kick out of watching these spin-off known as “On Air with Ryan kids dress up and play showbiz legend as Seacrest.” A “TRL” clone that also airs much as the next viewer. What takes on Fox, this show raises blandness, fawn some of the fun out of it is the sense ing and corporate shilling to new heights. that they aren’t getting their fair share of Even Seacrest had to chuckle, the fortune being generated.

Remember, that was the prize Kelly Clarkson fought for throughout the whole first season.

Howard's Future — It’s all about

w in e s a n d c u is in e b y

the future, folks. All about keeping Howard Brush Dean III alive as some sort of viable political something-or-other. The man’s no quitter. Actually, he’s an unemployed 55-year-old non-practicing physi cian in search of a life. It seems only yesterday that “flash mobs” for Howard Dean were a hot topic in the “Doonesbury” cartoon strip. Now many wonder if history will remember him as little more than a flash in the pan. The former Political Pet Rock of 2003 is desperately trying to be remembered as more than a one-hit wonder. On Monday, Ho-Ho made TV appearances on C N N ’s “Inside Politics” with Judy Woodruff and MSNBC’s “Hardball’’ with Chris Matthews. Gov. Dean con firmed reports he’s working on a deal that would get him his own TV show! What’s it all about? We tried to get more informa tion from the horse’s mouth, but our request for an interview with Ho-Ho drew no response. The old hometown weekly apparently is no longer on the media radar screen of Hollywood Howard. As far as we could tell from his Monday media blitz, two things have changed in Howard Dean land. One is Ho-Ho’s hair. He has better hair, longer than he usually wears it. Gives him a touch of suaveness. The second noticeable change is that Howard Dean has gone back to sounding like the Howard Dean Vermonters knew as their governor for more than a decade.

Ever hear of him, Jim? Honesty, apparently, isn’t the best policy at Gannett, eh? Why should it be if it doesn’t affect the bottom line? P.S. Sam Hemingway’s local news column started back in 1989. Say what you will about it, but at least it was local. Last year Mr. Hemingway ceased writing the column and switched full-time to covering the Howard Dean campaign. Since the Dean dream died, Sam’s slowly got ten back into writing news stories. Will the Hemingway column come back? “Maybe, maybe not,” said Hemingway Tuesday. Right now, he told Seven Days, he’s “doing a little bit of everything.” He insist ed that the columns departure “was my call.” Sam said he’s look ing at the present “as a new chal lenge to be a reporter.” Best of luck.

He was his old, middle-of-theroad, moderate self. Ho-Ho insisted he agrees with fellow Yale alumnus and acknowl edged Democratic nominee John Kerry on the War in Iraq. This from the guy who grabbed the spotlight a year ago with his blis tering antiwar rhetoric. It was what once set him apart. Now Ho-Ho’s joined the fold. He’s gotten reli gion. Should anyone be surprised? Dean says his Democracy for America organization will raise money for “progressive” Democratic candidates and train organizers to get the "grassroots involved. If it gains traction, it will also be the vehicle to keep Howard Dean in play. The odds, however, are against it. The fact is, Deans stunning, staggering defeats in the Demo cratic primaries sucked the wind out of Dean’s political organiza-. tion. The long lines of cars with out-of-state plates stretching down the road from his old presidential campaign headquarters on Farrell Street are but a distant memory. Ironically, the people most attracted to Dean were those who knew him the least. The folks who knew nothing of his Vermont his tory. Instead, they latched on to his leftist rhetoric like he was a voice crying in the wilderness. What they didn’t know was that their new hero had never in his entire life been a “progressive” or a “leftist.” They had no idea that Dean had actually been a pro-busi ness moderate who scorned the left as bitterly as he scorned the right. These goodhearted people could not imagine that Dean had never championed equal rights for gay couples until the Vermont Supreme Court ordered it. They couldn’t believe he’d staunchly opposed medical mari juana and methadone clinics. They simply heard what they wanted to hear and flocked to Howard Dean like he was the Messiah. Oh, well. Not the first time. All that’s the past. Today is the present, and tomorrow, they say, is the future. And looking coldly into tomorrow, one can certainly imagine the possibility of George W. Bush defeating John Kerry in November. For many voters it’ll be little more than a choice between two silver-spooned Yale graduates who agreed that invading Iraq was the right thing to do. Great minds, after all, think alike, right? But if George W. Bush and Dick Cheney win another four years in power, there will surely be some serious house-cleaning over at Democratic Party headquarters. If Howard Dean, our favorite silver-spooned Yale graduate, can manage to keep his head above water until then, he’d be nicely positioned to show he’s more than just a one-hit wonder. If Dr. Dean can keep his mug in the media, either by becoming a regular talking head on the politi cal chat shows, or launch a show of his own, he would be perfectly positioned to step up as a post election party leader. In fact, his personal political star would likely rise much higher in a second Bush administration than if John Kerry won the White House. To date there has been no

sign the Kerry campaign has any use whatsoever for Howard Dean’s services. As Ho-Ho said on Monday, there are no joint appear ances scheduled. Besides, Kerry’s too tall and Dean’s just too short. O f course, our Howard may not hang on at all. Previous presi dential hopefuls who stirred simi lar passion spikes faded away when their moment passed. Frankly, the notion of Ho-Ho hosting a TV show about “ordi nary people” is a little far-fetched. There’s little “ordinary people” contact on Park Avenue Howard’s resume since the days he told patients, “Bend over. This won’t hurt a bit.” Alas, Ho-Ho the Centrist had a great run playing the part of a Henry IV-style left-wing political firebrand from Vermont. He had a brilliant script, too: antiwar, pro union, anti-rich, pro-universal health care. Too bad it was just a script, eh? As the Bard of Avon put it, “If we are marked to die, we are enough to do our country loss. “But if to live, the fewer men the greater share of honor!” P.S. The only staffer with Vermont roots that we could find at Dean’s Democracy for America headquarters Monday was Tom Hughes. Tom’s the new “political director” at DFA. Tom was executive director of the Vermont Democratic Party in 1998. He went on to work for Al Gore, but returned to run Doug Racine's unsuccessful 2002 guber natorial campaign. Recently, he was Ho-Ho’s field director in New Hampshire. He’s due for a winner, eh?

Job Seeker — Burlington’s Republican lone wolf State Rep.

Kurt Wright is available for hire.

P aintings by

Not as a legislator, but as an employee. The Queen City’s only GOP representative recently departed his managerial position at Kerry’s Kwik Stop on St. Paul Street. Kwik Stop Kurt, as we’ve long called him, was a friendly fix ture behind the counter there for more than 20 years. Kurt had the ability to simulta neously run the register, make change and express his political viewpoint to local talk radio hosts over the phone cradled on his neck. Success may have spoiled Kwik Stop’s career at Kerry's. ^You see, Mr. Wright eventually took talking about politics to the next level. He ran for city cd1$fcl and won. Later he ran for the legislature. Kurt’s in his third term in Montpeculiar representing the city’s New North End, the last bas tion of Republicanism in The People’s Republic of Burlington. His legislative responsibilities have caused a disruption in his avail ability at the Kwik Stop. Now, we’ve learned, Kwik Stop Kurt has been let go. Wright tells Seven Days he’ll start looking for a new job as soon as the legislature gets out. Kurt’s got “25 years in the grocery business,” but says he’s willing to be “retrained” for the 21st-century economy. Ah, the possibilities! (7)

them. After being presented with about 2500 signatures on a December 2003 petition, V PR President and General Manager M ark Vogelzang used the com pany website to outline his reasons for not carrying the popular alternative program. He postulates that the opinions expressed on “Democracy Now” do not reflect “a nonpartisan approach.” David dismisses that explanation. “W hat’s V PR afraid of?” he asks. “This is the most politically diverse state in the country and we have the most boring public radio.” In addition to doing Amy’s live show at almost every stop on the tour via a remote satellite hookup, she and David have

planned several readings and public gath erings. “‘Democracy Now’ flies beneath the radar o f mainstream media, but a huge audience turns out whenever she speaks somewhere,” David says. “There’s an appetite for passionate, fierce reporting from progressives. Amy is one o f the heroes.” Though two years older than her brother, Amy looks like his slightly ane mic twin. “I’m 47 today,” she acknowl edges during an April 13 telephone chat. It is, by all accounts, a rare instance of personal revelation. A 1999 N ew York Times profile described her as a person

who would “disclose nothing o f her private life.” Amy side steps such inquiries, saying, “W hat I am is what I do.” A nd w hat she does can be extremely dangerous. In 1991 Amy and colleague Allan N airn were badly beaten by soldiers while covering East Tim or, which Indonesia had occupied w ith an iron fist — helped by U.S. support and world apathy — for 15 years. T he experience reinforced her credo: “Go to where the silence is.” Perhaps Amy’s own silence about personal m atters is insignificant com pared to the darkness she illu minates.

The Gretchen combines a simple rolled arm and two-over-two loose pillow style, with a crisp wood base.

exactly a slacker, either. His resume includes Fault Lines: Journeys Into the New South Africa, a 1999 book that docu ments a nation emerging from apartheid. After several forays to South Africa since 1984, in the mid-1990s he moved to Cape Town for a year with his wife, Sue Minter, and their toddler daughter. Apartheid had been dismantled and Nelson Mandela was presi dent. “It was such a historic m om ent to witness, like seeing Gandhi in India or M artin Luther King in America,” he says. David is less guarded than his sister. At his rustic house on a rutted dirt road, the walls are decorated with an array of colorful baskets, tapestries and masks. Art by his kids — Ariel, now 12, and Jasper, 4 — adorns the study that doubles as a mudroom. Laminated press passes hanging on a nail are souvenirs from the front lines o f his career. N ot far from David’s com puter, a large poster depicts a doctor holding a stethoscope that bears the image of a mushroom-shaped cloud. The doctor is his late father, oph thalmologist George Goodman, a civil-rights activist who started a Long Island branch of the anti nuclear group Physicians for Social Responsibility. Theyyife who survives him, D orothy was a college English teacher who became a social worker. T he Goodm an family, which includes two other sons, is descended from Hasidic rab bis but remains devoutly secu lar and immersed in activism. “Politics was always part o f our debate and conversation,” David recalls. He edited his high school newspaper, even winning a major scholastic feature-writ ing award, before heading to Harvard, which is also Amy’s alma mater. “I was disillu sioned thar journalism there was a grooming club for the corporate media establish m ent,” David says. “All my classmates are now with the Wall Street Journal and The New York Times. I had no interest in that.” T he Cambridge sojourn did

bring him at least one bonan za: T hat’s where David met the woman he would marry. After graduating in 1983, he stayed in Beantown for a dozen years and worked as a freelancer for The Nation, The Progressive, The Boston Globe and Boston Magazine. Davids interest in current . events was, and still is, bal anced by a devotion to out door activities. Consequently, he has penned several paper back guidebooks on skiing. But global woes continue to beckon. After Fault Lines came out, he got assignments from a range o f newspapers and mag azines. “O ne day, U N IC EF called,” he says. “I’d been pegged as something o f an Africa and conflict specialist. They wanted me to write dis patches about the situation for women and children in places like Liberia, Sudan, Zambia and Albania.” So why did the worldly David, his wife Sue — now a planner for the Vermont Department o f Housing and Com m unity Affairs — and their offspring relocate to the Green M ountain State in 1991? “We were crazed week end warriors who’d bomb up here to ski, rock climb, what ever,” he explains. “M ount Mansfield was a prime target of our adventures. And Vermont’s progressive politics provides a respectable cover for two ski bum s.” In 1992 David co-founded the Vermont chapter o f the National Writers Union, which he chaired for five years. These days his life is dom i nated by a tour for The Exception to the Rulers, set to last through July. The book packs a punch. In discussing the salient topics during their publicity blitz, David and Amy agree on w hat’s at stake. “W hen you have an uncritical media reporting a kind o f ste nography from the W hite House,” he tells an N PR sta tion calling from Illinois, “they act as a megaphone for those deceptions and lies.” Amy later echoes his com ments, but with slightly differ ent mixed metaphors. “The media has reached an all-time low as a conveyor belt for lies of the adm inistration,” she charges. “Journalism is the only profession protected by the Constitution, so it’s essen tial to the functioning o f a democratic society. They have acted as cheerleaders for the war in Iraq.” A more playful Amy emerges when she points out the absurdity o f an initial Amazon.com recommendation for people who buy The Exception: T h e online book store misconstrued the subti tle’s m ention o f oily politi cians. “They figured our read ers m ight also be interested in acne products,” she recounts with a giggle. “How wonder ful! It’s crossover marketing to - - teenage girls.”-®* - -----------

Addicted to Love

f dating shows and self-help books have it right, romantic love is all about finding a soul mate — the one person out there who “completes” you; who heals your childhood wounds and invites you into STORY the perfect symbiosis o f two. T he only M ARGOT problem is that, as Tristan and Isolde and H A R R IS O N Sid and Nancy discovered, soul mates can tear each other’s lives apart. Fault Line by In her memoir Fault Line, part of the Laurie Alberts, University of University o f Nebraska’s American Lives Nebraska Press, series, Vermont College professor Laurie 175 pages, Alberts tells the story o f her 16-year rela $21.95. tionship with a man whose name she still invokes as “my mantra, my shield against hum iliation and fear.” A lover, a surrogate parent, an intellectual partner, Kim Janik was also the mart she had to leave in order to achieve what most of us see as the logi cal fruits o f a love story: the happy mar riage, the country house, the child. T hat paradox fuels Alberts’ narrative, which is

set against the background o f an era — the late ’60s and early ’70s'— when fairy tales were turned on their h§gds, and con ventional notions o f achievement and suc cess were set adrift. Laurie Alberts and Kim Janik first met in 1969, when he served drinks and she carried canapes at a cocktail party in upscale Lexington, Massachusetts. She was a high school junior from a “good hom e,” he a Harvard scholarship student from a working-class family out West. T he memoir doesn’t begin w ith that meeting, however, but in 1996. T h at’s when Alberts learned by chance that Kim had “died alone in a wilderness some where out W est,” after years o f an itiner ant life and chronic alcoholism. W eakened by dehydration, he collapsed in the W yoming high country, where a rancher found his remains 10 days later. Nearby was a car full o f belongings, including a single snapshot o f collegeaged Kim standing beside a pretty, dark haired girl — Alberts. W hy did Kim keep the photograph?

How did a prom ising physics student and poet, who read voraciously and had a gift for teaching, end up dying like a derelict? Like Jon Krakauer’s best-seller Into the Wild, Fault Line is the story o f a “golden boy” whose rejection o f the American dream led him into a finally fatal isolation. Unlike Krakauer’s book, though, Alberts’ places that isolation in the context o f a relationship. As she suc cinctly puts it, “Perhaps it was our fault line, not [Kim’s] alone, and I got to rise as he fell.” A relationship between a college stu dent and a needy 16-year-old with an abu sive father — today, this might raise immediate cries of “exploitation.” But Alberts makes it clear that between Kim and her, the exploitation was mutual. She clung to him and cheated on him with a succession o f men; he fumed possessively but couldn’t “banish” her. As the setting shifts to the Southwest and the drug-addled, directionless nomadism o f early ’70s’ counterculture, # we see Kim and Alberts increasingly

As Alberts puts it, “I was a kid desperately pushing for limits” — and Kim couldn’t provide them. Yet he refused to let go o f the relationship, and today Alberts thinks that his “professed inability to give up on us... was as destructive an addiction as the booze.” A love story like this has no defined dramatic arc, no “climax” — in the end, all the lovers can do is pull themselves, inch by painful inch, out o f their m utual dependence. Yet Alberts has crafted a nar rative that manages to convey failure, inertia and repetition w ithout falling prey to them. Her prose has a colloquial zip and an in-your-face candor, reminiscent d fth e ^oung gfrl w h^refus& i to stly in one place (see excerpt). Fault Line also has a more mature, reflective dimension. All confessional memoirs, even ones that don’t flatter the author, give him or her immense leeway for bias and narcissism. It’s a problem o f which Alberts, the author o f three novels, may be especially aware: W hen retelling the past, how does one avoid turning one self into the hero o f a semi-fiction? In a series of asides, she confronts the egotism of the memoirist, wondering whether she’s given herself too im portant a role in Kim’s life: “W ho doesn’t want to think herself the object o f undying love, the central player in another’s drama, even if that drama is questionable?” The book gains dramatic urgency from Alberts’ present-day efforts to retrace the last stages o f Kim’s life — visiting his favorite seedy motel on interstate 91, tramping through a W yoming state park to see the spot where he died. There’s no “mystery” here in the conventional sense, only a futile search for understanding. At one point, Alberts uses her experience as a novelist to imagine herself into Kim’s last hours — a powerful passage, but, she acknowledges, a false one. “Perhaps [Kim] ’s eluded me as he eluded everyone else,” she concedes at last. Despite her own caveats, it’s a testa m ent to the success o f Alberts’ memoir that, in the end, it feels like two people’s story. Two people and maybe more; our deepest motive for writing about the past, Alberts suggests, is a desire to put the fragments o f our lives together in a story that makes sense. “Perhaps we all long for our former selves, even if those selves were misguided or worse,” she writes. “It’s still a loss, a self we’ll never meet again, as m uch a part o f us — and as disconnected from us — as a first love.” A first love, a past self — this book is a fitting elegy for both. ®

AN E X C E R P T F R O M F A U L T L IN E Wyoming: the wind howled, brown grasses bent hori zontal, antelope leaped across dead fields. My puppy shivered on her rope. Cowboys screamed from their pickups, gave us the finger. We slept in abandoned buildings with drunken squatters, or in the vans of other travelling longhairs. When we couldn't find someone to take us in, Kim spent his last dollars on a motel room in whatever dive we could walk to. I paced the small rectangle: a sink on the wall with rust stains, yellowed blinds torn in one corner, dirt ground into the thin carpet, a tilting dresser. Kim was in the bathroom. I laced my boots, stuffed my belongings back into the pack. Outside the wind wailed. What was taking so long? I needed to be moving, moving, moving. Two strong impulses kept me running — the hunger to discover, the desire to flee. All Albertses are frantic with impatience; all of us have spent much of our lives running from our selves. My father can put fifty thousand miles a year on a car just to keep moving; my sister fills all dead time with logistical details; my brother works seven ty hours a week. My mother, even while enduring radiation therapy, won't miss an art opening or a concert — anything not to stay home. Motion is our first drug. In this second life, the quiet one I've been granted, to endure a child's lolling pace is still a strenuous test of my will. "Hey," I called to Kim, "let's get going." "Laurie," Kim's voice was muffled behind the bathroom door. "I'd like to take a shit in peace, if you don't mind." "Well, do you have to be so slow about it?" I could have been my father, fuming at my mother for sipping coffee — he threw cold water into his tea so as not to waste time — or berating one of his kids for being too slow tying a shoe. "Yes I DO!" Kim shouted back. "Well excuse me. What are you doing in there, anyway? Writing poems? I was ready half an hour ago. You aren't even packed." The sound of flushing. Kim came out and started arranging things carefully into his pack. "God, do you always have to be so meticulous?" I complained. "JeShs Christ!" Kim pitched a pair of socks across the room. The puppy whined fearfully. "Do you have to be such a bitch? What's the rush? Where do you even think you're going?" Kim sat down on the bed, its bad springs sinking. His face looked ashy, drained. "Look, Laurie," he said, "why don't you just go on out there by yourself and I'll head back to Morrissey? You don't need me as your chaperone." "No!" I didn't want to stand out there alone in that wind, with the hippie-hating cowboys leering. "No, I do want you with me. I do. I need you with me. Please. Please."

Dream Date? A n a ly z in g th e c e re b ra l s id e o f s le e p

devout Catholic woman in her late thirties had a strong sensual drive, but no sexual experience with men. She dreamt o f swimming in a natural pool deep in the forest. From the sky nuns STORY float down into the water, shedding RUTH their habits. T he women climb onto H O R O W IT Z the rocks and sun themselves. W hen the woman finished report I MAGE ing the dream to her therapist, he JO S H U A remained quiet. A Jungian psychoana H IG H T E R lyst, he was reminded o f the Greek myth in which the hunter Actaeon "Dreams and spies on the virginal goddess Artemis Dreaming" conference, as she bathes. W hen he accidentally St. Michael's rustles the leaves and tips the goddess College, off to his presence, she’s so enraged Colchester, that she transforms him into a stag May 1. and he’s torn apart by his own hounds. “T hat was enough for m e,” quipped the therapist, Pittsburgh psy choanalyst Stan Perelman, as he recalled the incident during a presen tation at St. Michael’s College last Saturday. H e’d cast the dreamer as Artemis and him self as Actaeon, he explained, and didn’t want to “rustle the leaves,” that is, draw her attention to the fact that she was revealing her erotic impulses. Perelman’s com m ent elicited an appreciative chuckle from the audi ence — 200 or so professionals, stu dents and amateur dream devotees. They were giving up a summery weekend afternoon to sit inside swel tering M cCarthy Arts Center, sipping bottled water and chewing on such juicy topics as repression, compensa tion and countertransference. Joining Perelman on the program were D an Jacobs, a Freudian from Boston, and New York Interpersonal Psychoanalyst M ark Blechner. Blechner’s 2001 book, The Dream Frontier, sparked the idea for the con ference, said Polly Young-Eisendrath, a Worcester psychologist and presi dent o f the Vermont Association for Psychoanalytic Studies. T he 100-plusmember organization sponsored the event and made a concerted effort to invite the general public. VAPS will take a similar approach in October, when they’ll host a conference on “T he Psychology o f ‘T he Sopranos.’” David Chase, principal writer o f the popular H B O series, is a possible guest. T he topics o f T V and dreams were both chosen for their pop appeal, part o f a broader effort by psychoanalysts to improve their public image. “In our culture we tend to be viewed as outm oded,” says Young-Eisendrath, who m oderated Saturdays conference. She blames this shift on the Reagan adm inistrations de-institutionaliza

O ne way to gain those insights, Saturday’s speakers argued, is by ana lyzing dreams. Science tells us that we dream about once every 90 minutes during sleep. By the time we reach

70, we will have spent about seven years in dreamland. Experience tells us that very few o f these dreams are remembered, let alone interpreted. But the things we “see” in our heads at night have always held a powerful fascination. Dreams in the Bible either deliv ered divine dispatches or foretold the future. In ancient Greece, people who were ill entered a dream chamber where they m ight experience “oracles” requiring priestly interpretation, “visions” o f the future, or “dreams”

that could cure the patient simply by being dreamt. Medieval Europeans believed nightmares were caused by incubi or succubae sitting on a sleep er’s chest. “In all these cases,” Jacobs reminded the audience, “dreams were thought to come from outside.” Freud reversed the paradigm. He postulated that dreams originate w ith in and reflect problematic wishes that m ust be disguised so as not to disturb sleep. He and his followers viewed dreams as the “royal road to the unconscious,” and successful dream

interpretation as “the pinnacle o f analytic achievement,” Jacobs said. Freud’s fixation on oral, anal and genital functions has fallen out o f fashion, but his emphasis on the unconscious still forms the basis for the psychody namic approach practiced by about 25 percent o f psychothera pists today. W hile Freud tied dreams to memory, contemporary Jungians interpret them in terms o f cur rent experience, Perelman explained: W hat’s going on at home? At work? How’s the patient feeling about the analysis and the analyst? Characters from real life who appear in dreams represent both themselves and aspects o f the dreamer’s psyche. A nun, for example, might refer to an actual nun the dreamer has encountered, and to religious or chaste tendencies within the per son. And while Freudians see dreams as wish fulfillments, Jungians consider them “com pensations.” If the nun-dream er’s religious life is interfering with her sex life when she’s awake, she might compensate with dreams of habit-shedding, sensuously cavorting sisters while she’s asleep. Jungians also “amplify” dream images by exploring possible associations to the broader cul ture. T h at’s what Perelman was doing with the nun dream and the Greek myth. Analysts less versed in the classics look else where. Blechner’s patients, he said, often connect their-dfleajps to “Seinfeld” episodes. The most popular approach to psychoanalysis these days is relational, or transpersonal, psy chology. This school, which has arisen in the last five years or so, places the desires for attachm ent and security on a par with sexual and aggressive drives. Relational analysts, according to Blechner, believe a person’s psyche can only be understood in relation to someone else’s. In a transpersonal analysis, the skinny-dipping nuns dream might prom pt a conversation about the inhibiting “habits” the patient must shed in order to speak more openly with her ana lyst. W hat prevents this process from becoming a closed loop is the presum ption that the way a patient acts in her shrink’s office reflects her patterns o f behavior

in the outside world. For all the interest they con tinue to provoke, “Dreams in analysis no longer have the cachet they once had,” Jacobs observed. Both he and Blechner cited a 1983 paper by Francis Crick in which the DNA researcher and Nobel laureate described dreams as random waste products, the garbage of the mind. “But anthropologists have shown that you can learn a lot about people by studying their garbage,” Blechner pointed out. Even professionals who believe dreams communicate meaningful inform ation about the subconscious often shy away from dream analysis as “too diffi cult,” Jacobs suggested. Fewer and fewer training programs include courses in dreams. And the expectations can be daunt ing. In classic Freudian practice, the first dream presented in ther apy was said to reveal both the patient’s entire problem and its solution — if only it was proper ly understood. Cost doesn’t help, either. Rigorous dream analysis takes time, and few managed-care providers or insurance policies cover more than one or two hours o f psychotherapy a week. O ne purpose o f Saturday’s con ference was to persuade practi tioners that dream analysis isn’t just w orth doing, but is doable.

There was a tim e when Ju n g ian s-^ <^reudiang(wpuldn’t speak to each other. T he confer ence proved th a t adherents^of _ various psychoanalytic approach es aren^-fighting witft each' o th er Sjiymore,” Young-Eisendrath says. In fact, although the speakers represented three differ ent schools, they all seemed to have more in com m on than not. Two sported stereotypical psychi atric glasses and beards, and as they waited for the event to begin, they all assumed an iden tical pose: legs crossed, hand thoughtfully stroking chin. All three speakers also seemed intent on seeing themselves in their clients’ dreams. Perelman told about a patient who report ed a dream in which a m an is preparing to taste a glass o f wine and wom en are watching him, »*26A

If you don't know what it's like to be a woman with thinning hair, STOP READING THIS AD.

There are over 30 million American women with thinning hair. But unless you’re one of them, you’ll never know what it’s like to experience the change in appearance hair loss can bring. Or the despair you can feel with such limited alternatives. But no more. A new Procedure called Hair Replenishment Therapy™ is altering the out look, and the looks, of women with hair loss. This is a solution created specifically for women and the many patterns women’s hair loss can take. The genius of HRT is the receptor sites that are established on the scalp, specific to the areas that will undergo volumization. They allow 100% human hair, matching your own in color and texture, to be interspersed throughout your existing hair. The culmination of the volumization procedure is dramatically increased hair density. To the eye and to the touch, your replenished head of hair looks like growing hair. Your scalp is totally visible, the hair bounces and moves like the growing hair it lies next to, and your new hair is able to accommodate most any style you choose. One recent HRT client writes, “...for years I’d suffered with my hair, watching it grow thinner and thinner. It almost felt like I was losing a part of me. And then this Hair Replenishment Therapy came along, and virtually overnight, I became a new person. Not only on the outside, but on the inside, too. And that was the greatest feeling of all.”

For a free color brochure with photos of actual HRT clients, call us today.

poised to jum p out the win dow if he doesn’t like it. Perelman’s analysis: T he wine represents the patient, the man represents himself and jum p ing out the window expresses the patients strong desire that Perelman deem the things she tells him “good” or interesting. Blechner cautioned against “hijacking” a patients dream by being too quick to impose an interpretation. Jacobs responded by describing a case in which he might have done just that.

Kill a Mockingbird, Blanchard has sure theatrical instincts. W hat’s more, she has admirable powers o f concentration. We believe she cannot see or hear, but also intuit that the rest of her senses remain powerfully acute.

G ib s o n ’s script c o n c e rn s itself not only with the pow er struggle b etw een A nnie an d Helen, but with b ro ad er conflicts, too: m e n vs. w o m e n , fathers vs. sons, even Y an kees vs. S outherners. how she succeeded first in infu riating, then in winning over Keller’s autocratic father, played with authority by Paul Ugalde. W hen Annie needs to hold her ground, whether standing up to the family or subduing Helen, Vahanian is pure steel. The role o f Helen also calls for an actor with a sense of comic timing, and Nash has one in Charlotte sixth-grader Francesca Blanchard. The famously physical breakfast scene, in which Annie forces Helen to sit at the table and eat like a hum an, demands more than mere fortitude. T he actress playing Helen has to know exactly when to throw her spoon a second, third and fourth time, exasperating Annie while entertaining the audience more and more with each toss.

If you’ve seen the film of Miracle Worker, chances are the scenes between Annie and Helen are the ones that remain in your memory. T hat will probably be the case for anyone seeing this stage version, too; Vahanian’s final, trium phant embrace of her difficult student is particularly moving. It’s as m uch about Annie giving herself over to love as it is about Helen’s break through into sign language. But Nash has also done an excellent job of establishing the context of their relationship. Gibson’s script concerns itself not only with the power struggle between Annie and Helen, but with broader conflicts, too: men vs. women, fathers vs. sons, even Yankees vs. Southerners. Elegantly simple stage pic tures draw the battle lines clear ly. We see the ties and the ten sions that link Captain Keller

lu n c h - d i n n e r ta k e and his genteel young wife, played with sweet fortitude by Haley Rice. The couple’s inso lent son James, played by Jonathon W hitton, accurately portrays the boys cynicism and the neediness beneath it. A tal ented ensemble, including Carolyn Gordon as sharptongued Aunt Ev and Tienn W ine as the family’s skeptical servant, helps establish the world beyond the Keller house hold, as do the clearly limned class distinctions in M artin Thaler’s costumes. Robert W. W olff’s simplis tic, almost barren set is a little unsettling at first, though it is sensitively lit by John Paul Devlin. W here are we? W hat’s with all this gray wall-to-wall, and why’s the furniture bunched to one side o f the stage — except for Helen’s bed, which is on a platform in the middle o f the audience? The answers become clear, and the approach gains in effectiveness, as the production goes on. Annie made her first real progress with Helen by living with her in isolation in a gar dener’s shed on the grounds; when the bed is moved onstage to become part o f Helen’s new “hom e,’’ it’s as if her gray world is taking on “color,” fill ing up with objects that are about to have names. There are some hokey touches in the script, most notably the melodramatic flashbacks in which Annie recalls the voice o f the little brother she could not rescue when the two were orphaned. {Aha! So now she wants to rescue Helen!) But Nash’s thoughtful production, partic ularly the memorable work o f Vahanian and Blanchard, amplifies the play’s strengths — and that’s no joke. ®

s the bile-filled host o f the “Back in Black” segment o f Com edy C entral’s “Daily Show with Jon Stewart,” Lewis Black doesn’t take any prisoners. His no-bullshit rants and anti-establish STORY m ent attacks have made him a hero o f ETHAN disaffected folks everywhere. W ith the COVEY popularity o f “T he Daily Show” ris ing faster than his cholesterol, Black is Lewis Black, traveling across the country and try "Rules of ing to smack some sense into the Enragement," Flynn Center, average American. This Wednesday, Burlington, May 5, he brings his bite to Burlington. 7:30 p.m. From his New Orleans hotel room, $29.50 - 38.50. Black spoke with Seven Days about his Info, 863-5966 career, politics and the funny business.

SEVEN DAYS: How did you get started in comedy? LEWIS BLACK: It was at Chapel Hill, where I went to school. The last summer I was there my friends had a band and asked me to come down and do some comedy; So I started doing it on a ferk. I fflWays d ld lt on a lark. I though I’d end up teaching theater or something. SD: What drove your comedy when you first began? LB: Stupidity. I think it came out o f a desperate need. I just had these stories and they were funny. SD: Do you feel most of your work comes out of humor or anger? LB: Humor, I think. It’s definitely fueled by anger on stage because the person I am onstage is so over-the-top. SD: Would you consider yourself to be an angry person? LB: I was for a long time because I was in a business that really can get to somebody that has any am ount o f intelligence. In my business, if you aren’t incensed about the way things a re ... you just go, please! SD: What's a typical day lik e for you? LB: Usually travel [laughs], with a couple hours o f interviews and a lot o f time on the phone with people [adopts whiney voice]: You know what were gonna do next, we’re going to be here, here, we’re going to march into the Sudetenland. SD: W hat makes you happy? LB: Um, phew. Sex. Golf. SD: What turns you on? Golf? LB: [Laughs] Something that’s funny and smart. Smarts turn me on. Intelligence. Something that makes m e'look at som ething differently.

SD: "The Daily Show" has become one of the most popular news programs on television. Aside from the humor, what brings in viewers actually look ing for news? LB: I think Jon helps. The cast helps. I think the writing, which besides just being funny has a strong point of view. We find interesting stories. I think it’s just that we have an interest ing take on things. SD: Where do you th in k the cur rent media is failing? LB: One, just simply in terms o f tele vision media is, you don’t put 50 things on a screen. W hat’s the pur pose? I didn’t turn on television to read. I don’t think print media is really the devil. I think in a way it’s the last real hope. It forces people to use their brains. At least they have to look at something and figure out the words. SD: I f you were in a mud wrestling match w ith ["Daily Show" correspondent] Mo Rocca, who would come out on top? LB: O h, I would. H e’s a sissy. I'd just have to break his glasses and pull on his bow tie. SD: Who's the sexiest person in the world? LB: Uh, [long pause], whew! At the moment, Charlize Theron, but she’s fading on me. You know who I thought was really hot was Jennifer Connolly, but then I kinda met her and it just wasn’t the same. It was a pity. Then there’s the other one who was in “The W onder Years.” I liked her a lot. [Long pause] I still like her a lot. SD: Do you th in k that Iraq is the new Vietnam? LB: Oh, yeah [laughs]. T hat the gov ernment doesn’t get it, even McCain, I was shocked. W hen you are using the exact same statements you used before... I lived through this once, it’s like a rerun. From the time we started to go over there I thought, “Uh-oh, here we go.” It’s a reverse-domino the ory. The idea in Vietnam was we keep democracy there, we stop C om m un ism. [The idea in Iraq is] we put a democracy in and everyone will all o f a sudden be going, “Oh, boy, I can’t wait until they open a Ben & Jerry’s here.” They say we don’t have enough troops... it’s all the same statements over and over again. T hen you read that 10 percent o f the people that we are fighting against are the people we hired to be on our side! A nd the fact that they didn’t expect this at all is exactly the same thing. They had no clue that there’d be guerrilla warfare

' ... in Vietnam, and [they th o u g h ^ w e could just beat the shit out o f them by pum m eling them with all sorts of artillery, and this concept [in Iraq] that they had no expectation that there would be this kind o f resistance. SD: So what the fuck is up w ith George W. Bush? LB: He’s insane! Either he’s insane or I’m insane. At this point one of us has to be.

SD: Are those days over now? LB: Oh, yeah, I just can’t ... W hy would you need to do it, this country is a drug. SD: When you and Stewart go out drinking, who carries who home? LB: Oh, he doesn’t go out drinking. H e’s a wuss. H e’s married.- H e’s a fun wuss, but we never ever have time to

T h e id ea in V ie tn a m w a s w e k e e p d e m o c ra c y there, w e stop C o m m u n is m . [The idea is Iraq is] w e put a d e m o c ra c y in a n d everyon e will all of a s u d d e n be going, “O h, boy, I c a n ’t wait until they o p e n a B e n & Je rry ’s here.” l’; T

" ■ ' ■.

LEWIS BLACK

SD: So what's going to change when you're in charge? LB: I’m not going to be in charge because... Well, look at w hat [the Bush administration] did to Kerry, imagine what he could do to me. “We have on good authority that Mr. Black did an overdose o f mescaline at the age o f ...” “Yes, I did.” By the time November 4th rolls around, we’d just get to the end o f my drug days.

hang out. It’s too bad, we kind o f enjoy each other. SD: I f you had to do it all over again, what would you change? LB: This is my advice for people, breaking into my business: I wouldn’t tell people who are in a position o f power and w hom I m ight have to deal with again that they are full of shit or should go fuck themselves. I used to just say, “T h at’s bullshit” to people and think I was going to be respected for it. T h at was pretty stupid. ®

BASS IN YOUR FACE II The New York duo Dub Is a Weapon is making waves in the city with apocalyptic bass and bone crunching beats. Far from a sunny Island groove, this is 21st-century urban music — dark and heavy. Featuring Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra guitarist Dave Hahn and Jamaican beat legend Larry McDonald, the band is creating a whole new kind of dub. Soak up the sounds this Saturday at the Starlight Lounge.

DUANE CARLETON,

CHASING AFTER THE STARS (Self-released, CD)

by ‘JUuim-•(«iriclon

West Rutland musician, composer and music producer Duane Carleton does it all on his self-produced and totally homemade recording. Chasing A fte r the Stars. In addition to engineering, mixing and creating the artwork, Carleton plays guitars, bass, pedal steel, keyboards, mandolin and percussion — sometimes all at once. At his best, Carleton sings like a young Bob Seger. He writes catchy pop songs concerning his life and loves. The music here is full of riffs and chord patterns familiar to fans of The Eagles and a whole generation of "classic FM" semi-acoustic music. Whether or not you like the genre, it's hard to fault the sound and musicianship in this project. Carleton has been performing for more than 20 years and seems quite com fortable in front of a microphone as well as behind the console. Chasing A fte r the Stars is a professional-sounding recording that could have come from Nashville as easily as from Rutland County, even with the "Vermont-specific" references in the lyrics.

(North of January, CD)

LYLE KING, 5 A.M. (Self-released, EP CD) A presence for several years in the Burlington music scene, Lyle King is still fresh enough that he proudly ref erences his first-place finish in the 2001 Acoustic Guitar Search. Yet his skills have matured since then, as the alltoo-brief 5 A.M. reveals. The guitar work is competent, well beyond the urgent strumification of most young singer-songwriters. But his voice is the real appeal: clear, burnished, impassioned, with the teensiest touch of vibrato. King's other musical charms are stealthier; fine songwriting is nearly obscured on 5 A.M. by an earnest ness that covers all these tunes with the same blanket. But then, their subject matter — love, loss, lorjging — suggests! *iome emotional shrapnel made' King (Seed all over his music. The songs are too pretty to be called raw, but the vulnerability meter reads high. After repeated lis tenings, you might wanna give the guy a hug, or a pep talk. King's sophomore CD, engineered by Aaron Flinn at Egan Media Productions in Colchester, sounds appropri ately warm and intimate; with the exception of guest guitarist Joe Tymecki on opener "Leap of Faith," 5 A.M. is spare: just a singer, a six-string and a life laid bare in lyrics. King plays his new tunes Wednesday, May 5, at Good Times Cafe.

OK, I'm impressed. Local pop guru Colin Clary has released upwards of a gazillion albums a year for about a decade, and they ju s t keep getting sweeter. He's by no means a figurehead of innova tion, but Clary's songs can make even the most jaded hipster crack a smile. H er L ife o f Crime, his new record w ith backing band the Magogs, is a summery slice of singalongs. The record's retro sound is mirrored in its sleeve artwork, which shows a pretty young thing lounging on a shag carpet with photographs and posters of Clary spread around her room. In one shot, she holds to her chest a magazine with the headlines, "Colin Clary, America's Sweetest Heartthrob Conquers England!" and "Power Pop, The Next Big Thing?" Musically, Crime presents some of Clary's strongest tracks to date, with excellent backing from Hannah Wall, Jason Ruthier and Steve Williams of the Magogs. "The Shape of this Town" rides a delicious '60s guitar r iff and a wall of handclaps. Clary's sometimes-thin voice sounds strong and •blends perfectly w ith Wall's soft harmonies. "D etroit River" is an atmospheric ballad with tender percussion th a t recalls recent Yo La Tengo. The '60s vibe kicks in again on "Pet Sound," w ith lyrics about making out to Beach Boys records and a soft touch of synthesized strings. "Moped Rally" is also giddily catchy, with the childlike lyrics accompanied by ringing guitars and beeping horns. In sofne places, Clary suffers from his usual affliction of being too darn cute, but Crime's highs far outweigh its lows. Plus, the Magogs may be the best backing band Clary has ever had. Guitar, bass, synths and drums all glide along in unison, lending a particularly powerful pop sheen to the tracks. For anyone unfamiliar with Clary's brand of sunny pop, H er L ife o f Crime is a great place to begin. For all the die-hard fans out there, this record is a must.

ARTW ORK "Architectural m odel and drawings" by Gossens Bachman Architects

** P H O T O Marc Awodey

enry Wadsworth Longfellow’s sobriquet for architecture, “the noblest of all the arts” reflects well on the show “Constructions” at Barre’s Studio Place Arts, even though it’s not all about buildings. O n display are paintings and purely sculptural items. Nevertheless, the whole gallery has an unmistakably archi tectonic character this spring. Three architectural firms have work in the show, along with about 30 individuals dealing with space in all media. The word “architectonic” simply means being of, or influenced by, archi tectural methods. W hat are architectural methods? They are the means by which space is enclosed, and the manner in which such an act of enclosure is carried out. The painting “Space of Society,” by David Blumenthal, is a great example of an architectonic painting. The works of Chilean painter Roberto Matta (1911-2002) — a close associate o f Swiss architect Le Corbusier — probably best exemplify architectonic paintings. Blumenthal’s “Space of Society” has a figure-ground relationship very similar to many in Matta’s pieces. It envisions a floating aggregation of objects, shrouded in red, spanning a pal pable negative space. The positive forms seem to bend to enclose an expressionistic atmosphere o f cooler hues. In his nonfigurative painting, Blumenthal has constructed a vitally surrealistic space. An untided painting by Burton Wolcott Cary (1921-2001) in “Constructions” is similarly defined by strong draftsmanship, but in a more twodimensional manner. Cary’s composition

"INSPIRED ON THE ROAD LESS TRAV ELED": Fine art by Rock Point stu

is based on a grid form that has been filled in with active lines broken up by planes of color. Tinka Theresa Martell’s untitled oilon-wood pedestal sculpture is like the preliminary maquette for an abstract monument. Composed in violet, blue and grays, the piece creates both angles and the illusion of angles over its curved surface. It seems to have an upward movement, a result of the perfect propor tions Martell has selected for the image. Proportion is one of the most impor tant aspects of architectural design. Ceramic sculptor Charlotte Potok has produced a small-scale copy ofcthe 1902 “Flat Iron Building” designed by Daniel Burnham and located at 5th Avenue and Broadway in New York City. The original building has steeper angles to its triangu lar footprint than does Potoks version, but the proportions of both sculpture and building are correct. If Potoks were as thin as the original, it would be seeming to collapse, just like John Brickels’ “Skyscraper II,” which is displayed along side it in the exhibition. If, on the other hand, the Flat Iron building were as chubby as this shows miniature version, it would perhaps not be as memorable 102 years after its construction as it is today. The Montpelier-based firm Gossens Bachman Architects is displaying “Architectural model and drawings” for a courthouse design. It is wonderful to see the creative work in process, augmented by the technical expertise that brings the project to fruition. An accompanying model of the courthouse as it meant to appear is also on view. Architectural

models like this one play an important role in the conceptualization of projects. However, neither of John Anderson’s two contributions to “Constructions” are buildings meant to be erected. “Sinking Barn” and “Plate Tectonics,” acrylic-onchipboard sculptural studies, allow the Burlington architect to examine theoreti cal problems. Both are sculptural wall works. “Sinking Barn” is seen from above as a square space with steps leading toward an abstracted barn shape. “Plate Tectonics” has an open-jawed V shape, with a curved white form between the jaws. Both pieces;are essentially hardedged, but they are also subtly organic, much as an orchid, for example, might be considered a hard-edged organic form. Anderson’s non-building models seem unusual to some, but he’s working in a long and respected tradition. Twenty years ago, Masters of Architecture candi dates at the prestigious Cranbrook Academy of Art were actually forbidden to design buildings in their curriculum. The head of that 15-student department was Daniel Liebeskind, who became deri sively known as a “contemporary decon structionist architect” to many profession als in his field. But history has shown Liebeskind to be visionary; his design was selected for redeveloping the World Trade Center site in New York City. Constructions” pays homage, perhaps inadvertently, to one of the most impor tant, and emotionally charged, construc tion projects of our time — the one that will soon be underway 260 miles to the south. Architecture is, clearly, about more than buildings. ®

BLACK COMEDY The actor crap-zaps his way to th e good life in the latest from Barry Levinson

%'V w *«w w s

he new comedy starring Jack Black and Ben Stiller sat on the Dreamworks shelves for a year prior to its release and, ever since, has been the target of universally contemptuous reviews. In all likelihood, this is the first, and perhaps-only, article on the sub ject of Envy you will read that will not equate the picture with the substance which Black’s character invents a product to elimi nate. But I am prepared to go further than that: I am willing to go on record as asserting this movie is not remotely abominable; that it is, in fact, consistently adequate and, in places, is even above average. Think about it: How bad can a movie starring these two guys be? You’d need a script strategically designed to sabotage their exceptional comic gifts to wind up with anything less than at least medium-grade merriment. And Envy has the added benefit of a note-perfect supporting performance by Christopher Walken. Black and Stiller have an appealing chemistry as best friends and family men who live across the street from one another in a modest suburban neighborhood. They commute together and even work at the same sandpaper plant. The idea is, Black’s char acter is*a sweet-natured manchild who’s perpetually dreaming up get-rich-quick schemes. Stiller’s is a decent chap, but one who’s also a bit frayed by his slow-track life and prone to naysaying. Saying nay turns out to be a big mistake when his pal offers him the opportunity to go 50/50 on his latest brainstorm — a spray that makes doo-doo disappear. For a mere $2000 invest ment he could have shared in the hundreds of millions Black rakes in when the crap-zapping Vapoorize actually hits shelves and pet owners, tired of stooping to pick up poop, pick up his new product instead. Stiller’s marriage already is filled with tension. Needless to say, watching the couple across the street strike it super-rich doesn’t make it any more blissful. That’s right: across the street. Black’s lovable shlub is such an innocent, he doesn’t want to move away from his friends, and hasn’t a clue that they could be anything but thrilled for him. He builds a mansion complete with an indoor bowling alley and pool, a merry-go-round, an archery range, a go-cart track and, to top it off, a mini mansion for his pride and joy, a white stallion named Corky.

. Foregoing his morning joe, rather than drink it made with the imported coffeemaker his neighbor gave him as a gift (one of many), Stiller stares out his window, watches as every dream his friend has ever had comes true and, slowly but surely, goes insane with jealousy. At which point he bumps into Walken in a bar. “I don’t drink,” Stiller informs the bartender, “so please just give me what you’d want if your family left you and you just got fired.” Walken overhears and inserts himself, in characteristically surreal fashion, into the poor schmuck’s life. One of the most peculiar creations in a career built on peculiar creations, Walken is part aging anarchist, part extortionist and decidedly not all there. But Stiller, into his third or fourth beverage, begins to believe his new.£>§$fjfriend knoyyj tyhereof he speaksftS&tXopg after, he’s driving into the -umbpcover of nigh w ith a deceased horse tidd upside down to the roof of his vehicle and wondering how things-could possibly ge^MdVSe. w ' Surprisingly, they don’t, and that’s one of the things I liked about A n T h e film could have continued into meaner, darker territory and provided the gratuitous, cathartic spectacle of a loser coming unstrung and seeking revenge for his hard luck. But that’s not where the film’s heart is. Veteran director Barry Levinson allows his two stars to get in touch with their inner car toons, but he knows when to reel them in and shift gears back to human comedy. The movie’s theme is, after all, meaty stuff. We all covet. We watch the rich and famous live glamorous lives and picture our selves in their place. We secretly stew as acquaintances succeed where we fail. Who among us doesn’t deep down believe he deserves a better hand than the cards fate has dealt him? Envy is a powerful, highly motivating emotion. It’s striking, for that rea son, that Levinson’s film is one of so few in cinematic history fully devoted to it. To be sure, we aren’t talking School o f Rock or There’s Something About Mary here. Levinson has given us immortal comedies {Tin Men, Wag the Dog) and abysmal ones {Toys, Bandits). Envy ranks somewhere in between. It may not feature the funniest performances ever given by Stiller, Walken and Black, but these three guys giving performances just this funny is enough to make Envy a movie you’ll kick yourself for missing. ®

Woefully out of synch with her con temporaries, Cady initially doesn’t mesh with any of the different crowds she defines in voice-over narration: “Asian nerds, varsity jocks, unfriendly black hotties” and so on. Accepted only by a Goth gal (Lizzy Caplan) and gay guy (Daniel Franzese), Cady very quickly gravitates to “the

S®j| aturday Night Live” was once genuinely subversive. Dan Aykroyd, Gilda Radner, 1L J l l J°^n Belushi, Ana Gasteyer, Phil Hartman and other great comedians fully inhabited their roles in socially rel evant and silly sketches. Nowadays, many of the performers deliver jokes with a look-how-hip-we-are attitude. Tina Fey — the program’s head writer and co-anchor of its Weekend Update — is also the wordsmith behind Mean Girls, directed by Mark Waters. The Hollywood black comedy, playing at several local theaters, could have pro vided an interesting angle on puberty.

Popularity can be a formidable weapon in the competition for survival of the fiercest. Plastics,” a trio of pretty divas in tight designer clothing. The leader of the pack is Regina (Rachel McAdams), a manipu lative femme fatale. She becomes positive ly demonic when her hunky ex (Jonathan Bennett) shows signs of developing a crush on the equally smitten Cady. The Plastics thrive on ridicule, yet even the objects of their scorn worship them. So does Cady, who changes from fresh-faced outcast to fanged insider. Popularity can be a formidable weapon in the competition for survival of the fiercest. Fey, as a daffy teacher, and “SNL” alum Tim Meadows, as the har ried principal, try to keep the peace in this hierarchy from hell. In a rare moment of trenchant wit,

Last year’s Thirteen, a wrenching depic tion of that hormone-driven age group, sure did. The central character in Mean Girls is 16-year-old Cady, portrayed by Lindsay Lohan. In a perfect storm of promotion, the perky actress hosted “SNL” on May 1, a day after her film opened. Cady’s an American math whiz who has been home-schooled in Africa, where her parents (Gasteyer and Neil Flynn) were employed as zoologists. Her § frame of reference is jungle animals and tribal societies. When the family relo cates to a Chicago suburb, she encoun- * ters the cruel rituals of fellow North Shore High classmates. Fey’s script is loosely adapted from

TROUBLE TOWM

Regina’s elementary-school-aged sister gyrates while watching the “My Milk shake Brings All the Boys to the Yard” music video. The next generation suc cumbs, choosing sexiness over self-esteem. But, with costumes that emphasize Cady’s cleavage, the film winds up being the very boob-a-thon it wants to skewer. An overabundance of teen flesh, cliched gags and a sappy ending under mine what could have been a sharply observed satire about the true meaning of mean. Subversive? If only.

The im pressive guest list at th is year’s Lake Placid Film Festival, from June 2 to 6, should delight bona fide cineastes. One of the most noteworthy names: director Martin Scorsese. His work embodies both star power and substance, two important attributes of the Adirondack event itself. The man who helmed Gangs o f New York will participate in a Saturday after noon discussion led by Jon Favreau, who recently appeared in Elf. That night, Scorsese is slated to introduce a screening of The Leopard, a 1963 Italian classic. Writers Russell Banks (Affliction),

Jeremy Pikser (Bulworth) and Paul Schrader (Taxi Driver) are on tap at vari ous forums throughout the long weekend. Dedicated indie actors Willem Dafoe, Matthew Modine, Sarah Polley, Peter Riegert and Campbell Scott will talk about their craft at noon on Saturday. And Haskell Wexler, whose career has ranged from One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest in 1975 to Mulholland Falls in 1996, will be on hand to teach the skills that make him a legendary cinematographer. His latest project is the upcoming Silver City by John Sayles, who was honored at Lake Placid a few festivals ago. The new film — which features Daryl Hannah, Richard Dreyfuss, Tim Roth, Chris Cooper and Thora Birch — concerns a Colorado gubernatorial can didate with poor grammatical skills. This bumbling, born-again scion of a conservative political dynasty finds his campaign disrupted by a murder inves tigation. With its early fall release date, Silver City is intended to aim a barb at Bush in time for the November presidential election. Too bad Wexler will only be showing clips during his 1:30 p.m. mas ter class on Friday.

W INOOSKI, SATURDAY, MAY 1 , 9 A.M. - N O O N . You can't blame the creators of Green-Up Day for resorting to a semantic sleight-of-hand. The 34year-old statewide clean-up effort would probably attract fewer volunteers i f we called i t what i t really is: Pick Up Other People's Nasty Trash Day. On Saturday thousands of Vermonters toted brightgreen bags through their neighborhoods, including 120 residents of my hometown, Winooski. But in addition to the well-publicized Green-Up effort, Onion City administrators also organized a free dumping day for tenants, who might not have the resources (or the inclination) to get rid of their trash legally. Officials divided the 1-square-mile city into four quadrants. This year, they invited tenants in Quadrant One — the area west of Malletts Bay Avenue, known as The Flats — to pile their moldy sofas, broken appliances and spare tires on their sidewalks. On Saturday morning, volunteers, includ ing the high school track team, hefted the piles into pickups and city dump trucks for the ride to Landry Park. There a crew of town boosters and Boy and Girl Scouts sorted the trash into five 6-foot-tall dump sters labeled "Furniture, Metal, Litter and Wood." Zoning officer Ray Crete admitted tha t he hates to pick up other people's garbage. "But," he said as he threw out some plastic toys, " if you drive through that for 10 or 15 years, you have to do something." Standing there amidst my neighbors energetical ly disposing of all th a t crap, I started to feel unbearably guilty for not helping, so I joined them. I threw out mangled bikes, rusted pipe fitting s, an orange laundry basket fu ll of linoleum, and several pieces of exercise equipment available exclusively through infomercials. The activity was scheduled to end at noon, but word of the free dumping spread far beyond Quadrant One. Although two more dumpsters arrived, there was too much stuff and not enough time to sort it. By 12:30, i t became clear tha t this was more than a day's work. Eleven-year-old Boy Scout Etienne Carpenter seemed surprised. " I honestly never knew there was so much trash in Winooski," he said.

North Carolina's not the only place bluegrass grows. Acoustic sextet Railroad Earth rolled out of rural Western New Jersey three years ago to debut at Colorado's Telluride Festival. Though the group has been com pared to new-grass contemporaries and jam bands such as the Grateful Dead, they've distinguished themselves with their thoughtful lyrics and prototypical instrumentation. Songwriter-vocalist-guitarist Todd Sheaffer gets backing from his band mates on ju s t about any sound-maker they can lay their hands on.

ve Dear Lola, I find myself in a| ither delicate situation. About a year ago I came into the po >ssion of a rather handsome, quite pri'sgy and extremely effective sexual-aid device. Said instrument has proven any other I have ever had. Since it entered more satisfying t my life, I've been new person. You can therefore imagine my consternation on recent evening when I reached into the draw er where I have always kept i t and found i t missing. About a month earlier, I employed the services of a new cleaning woman, and I suspect foul play. How can I confront my employee w ith out both of us dying of embarrassment? Flustered in Ferrisburgh Dear Flustered, I feel your pain. A dildo in the wrong place can be a real pain in the butt. I f you can't handle the direct approach, you could try wriggling around it: " I f you know anything about the item missing from my drawer, would yOu kindly replace it? " I f you're not up to that, you'll probably ju s t have to suck i t up and buy yourself a replacement. Love, Lola P.S. I f i t does turn up, wash it.

A R IE S

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): I suggest you enlist the help of a Jewish Fairy Godmother. If you can’t find a good candi date in your own neighborhood, check out the feisty saint at www.yourjewishfairygod mother.com. Though I don’t know her and can’t vouch for her services, I like how she says she “combines a New Age soul with old world wisdom, East Coast savvy and West Coast mellow,” and “has black belts in schmoozing, manipulation and chutz pah.” That sounds just right for your cur rent needs, Aries. At this juncture in your noble struggle, you need to be nagged and sweet-talked, prodded and praised. If you get too much tough love or too much ten der sympathy, you’ll keep missing the point about your problem. But you’ll be perfectly motivated if you receive a blend of both.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): Welcome to the first horoscope in history that relies entirely on the colors of Crayola crayons for its metaphors. To what do you owe such an honor? Simple, Taurus: After a dicey cruise through the midnight blue and burnt umber parts o f the spectrum, you’re now awash with a kaleidoscope of flashier hues, ranging from pink flamingo to electric lime to neon carrot. Even wild blue yonder and mango tango are injecting themselves into the mix. Congrats on this vivid redirection. Where you’re headed is more interesting than the yellow brick road. In Crayola-speak, it’s more like the banana mania brick road.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): Turn your attention, please, to the predicament of Mohabbatsinh Gohil, a diamond trader in India. A cow swallowed 1722 diamonds that he had accidentally dropped in the street. By combing through the beast’s dung for many

days, Gohil was eventually able to recover many of his jewels. I suspect that in the coming weeks, Gemini, you’ll encounter a challenge comparable to his. Let’s hope you’ve got the patience, humility and sense of humor to sift through the mounds of dreck in search of small but weighty treasure.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): There’s only one bad thing about mountain biking in the windy rain: I have to keep my eyelids half-closed and blink constandy to avoid being blinded. But as long as I’m wearing my waterproof parka, the ride is great flan. Today I swear I heard the wild iris es sing with ecstatic gratitude as they soaked up the downpour. The moist blooming humus smell of the earth was intoxicating. The raindrops seemed jubilant as they gath ered together into gushing streams and cas caded down the trails. Because no other humans were crazy enough to be out, I got to exult in some precious alone time with the woods. What’s the equivalent of moun tain biking in the windy rain for you, Cancerian? What tiny annoyances are out weighed by gleeful benefits? You should pur sue those experiences passionately this week.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): “God is a comedian playing to an audience that is too afraid to laugh,” mused 18th-century French philosopher Voltaire. W hat’s ironic, I would add, is that the moment you sum mon the courage to laugh, God’s jokes become tonic rather than cruel. They have a cleansing effect, and often tend to break down the obstacles to your dreams. Are you ready to make the transition, Leo? The planetary omens suggest that you have ripened sufficiendy to find the next divine punch line hysterically funny.

You can call Rob Brezsny, day or night, for your expanded weekly horoscope 1-900-950-7700. $1.99 per minute. 18 and over. Touchtone phone.

VIRGO

L IB R A

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your role model in the coming weeks is Latin pop star Julio Iglesias, bom on the VirgoLibra cusp. Though he has sold over 150 million records, he admits that there are thousands of people who are more polished vocalists. “I know I can’t really sing proper ly,” he told the German magazine Bunte. But he believes it is precisely his lack of per fect technique that makes him so appeal ing. “My voice has emotion, a style. The best singers can’t touch people like I can.” If I understand the astrological portents cor rectly, Libra, you’re most likely to succeed in the coming days if you use Iglesias’ approach in your own field of endeavor. Don’t let an obsession with flawless execu tion get in the way of expressing genuine feeling. Emphasize magic over cleverness.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Imagine it’s 30 years from today. You’re looking back at the history of your relation ship with desire. You realize that the period of April through August of 2004 stands out as a watershed. That was when you clearly saw that some of your desires were mediocre, inferior and wasteful, while oth ers were beautiful, sacred and invigorating. Beginning then, you made it one of your life goals to purge the former and cultivate the latter. Thereafter, you occasionally wan dered down dead ends pursuing goals that weren’t worthy of you, but usually you wielded your passions with discrimination and integrity, dedicating them to serve the highest and most interesting good. Right?

SA G ITTA R IU S (Nov22 Dec. 21): Don’t camp next to a forest fire or go on a picnic where mad bulls roam. OK, Sagittarius? Don’t play with matches next to a gasoline pump, either, or fly a kite in a lightning storm or feed steroids to the monsters under your bed. In fact, I suggest that you take fewer risks than you normally might. Whenever you feel a surge of dare devil energy, turn it inward and direct it at the mental blocks that have been messing with your creativity.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It’s an astrologically favorable time to expand your repertoire of pleasurable activi ties. The hidden forces o f fate will bring you luck and synchronicity when you set aside your familiar old amusements and experi ment with fresh ones. For example, whatever your favorite sexual positions or techniques are, you should consider retiring them for a couple of weeks while you branch out. Same with desserts, intoxicants, games and get

aways: Try anything different at least once. Drink some of that new chocolate beer. Get stroked by two massage therapists simultane ously. Schedule a singing lesson on a mountaintop or a flying lesson in your dreams.

A Q U A R IU S

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Is there anything more dangerous than getting up in the morning and having nothing to worry about, no problems to solve, no friction to heat you up? That state can be a threat to your health, because if untreated it incites an unconscious yearning for any old dumb trouble that might gener ate some excitement. I’m concerned that you might fall into this trap in the coming week, Aquarius. To ensure that you don’t, go hunt down some useful and fascinating trouble as soon as possible.

P ISC E S

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Late last year, the DJ Dangermouse made a record that blended vocals from rap star Jay-Z’s Black Album with instrumental tracks lifted from The Beaties’ White Album. The result, which he called the Grey Album, was praised by Rolling Stone as “the ultimate remix record” and “an ingenious hip-hop record that sounds oddly ahead of its time.” Your assignment in the coming weeks, Pisces, is to join together seemingly unrelat ed elements to create a combination that’s as interesting and innovative as Dangermouse’s. There’s one way I hope your effort will be different from his, however. Because he did n’t have authorization to use The Beades’ material, the Grey Album can never be com mercially released. Your work, on the other hand, should be legal, kosher and karmically impeccable.

BY ROB BREZSNY

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): According to Wordspy.com, the term parei dolia (pronounced “payr-eye-DOH-lee-uh”) refers to “the erroneous or fanciful percep tion of a pattern or meaning in something that is actually ambiguous or random.” Mainstream astronomers say this is the per fect word to describe what rogue researchers have called the “Face on Mars,” an evocative plateau in the Cydonia region of the red planet. It’s important to note, however, that not all wonders and marvels are the result of pareidolia. For instance, the personal mes sage you think you discern in a billboard or tortilla this week may really be a communi cation direcdy from an angel of mercy to you. To distinguish authentic breakthrolighs from mere pareidolias, strike a balance between skepticism and open-mindedness. Just because some apparent miracles are frauds doesn’t mean they all are.

auto motives

BY MARC STENGEL

CRUISING WITH A CAR CRITIC

G o at-b o y’s Reprise oat-boy is back. I’m referring, of course, to Pontiac’s fabled muscle car of the heavy-metal heyday in the ’60s, the GTO. Because no one could see the point of mispronouncing gran turismo omologato for the sake of so un-Italian a confection, motorheads in the know simply called it “The Goat.’’ Back in the pennies-per-gallon Golden Era of preOPEC America, Pontiac’s GTO was a pavement rip per, boasting 348 horsepower from a 6.4-liter (389 cu. in.) “Tri-Power” V8. The Goat could butt heads with anybody. Adding to the thrill were the era’s state-of-the-art non-existent brakes and a suspension system borrowed from a Lionel train set. Anyone who remembers the personality cult sur rounding the 1969 GTO “Judge,” with its Peter Max decal and flaring “hood nostrils,” knows just what kind of reputation Pontiac is trying to redeem with the 2004 GTO. It’ll never happen. Today’s is a differ ent world. It’s full of MINIs, for one thing. But Pontiac’s warmed-over GTO is actually quite hot in many respects. Pontiac’s boldest move is to ascribe the G T O ’s inspiration to Australia. There, on that far-out island continent, the automaker Holden reigns as a per formance potentate. Mad Max drove a wacked-out 1972 Holden H Q L S Monaro, dubbed “Nightrider,” to thrilling effect on his way to cinematic oblivion. Three decades later, an updated Monaro is dusting off the GTO mystique for the 21st century. Inside the new GTO is the first tasteful, function al, adult cockpit that Pontiac has designed in years. Gone are the fleshy dashboard lumps and creepy, rub bery control knobs. In their place is the elegant sweep of a flat-panel radio and HVAC console. And then you step outside to admire the view: “Crikey, mate! Wot a dingo’s breakfast!” It loses some thing in translation, of course; but a relevant paraphrase is, “Hey, dude! Where’d the styling go?” From most onlookers, the exterior of the new

2004 Pontiac GTO; 4-pass., 2-door; RWD, 5.7-liter 0HV "L S I" V8, 4-sp. auto (6-sp. manual, optional); 350 hp/365 ft.-lb s.; 16 mpg/City, 21 mpg/Hwy w/ premium; trunk: 13 cu. ft.; as-tested, with 4-wheel ind. suspen sion & ABS disc brakes, HVAC, Blaupunkt AM/FM/in-dash 6-CD, fog lamps, 17-in. wheels, limited-slip differen tial: $33,495.

GTO elicits yawns. To Pontiac’s credit, gone is all the paste-on body-panel padding that has bedeviled Pontiac stylists for some time. The GTO is stream lined, windswept, gently curvy. So distant in time from the hot-rod hammerheads of the 1960s, this performance coupe is, appropriately perhaps, the first metrosexual muscle car of the 21st century. Goat-boy is at ease with his fashion makeover. For starters, there’s a Corvette-derived 5.7-liter V8 under hood. This famed “LSI” small-block spools out 350 horsepower and 365 ft.-lbs. of torque on its way from zero-to-60 in about five-and-a-half clicks. The GTO is a genuine, modern performance coupe that sprints like blazes, corners like crazy and stops — really stops — when you want it to. Four-wheel independent sus pension is a bit stiff and twitchy at polite speeds; where it counts though, particularly along backroad strafes, the GTO is serenely balanced. Tires are meaty “G-force” 245/45ZR17s from B.F. Goodrich, and they’re not my faves. At operating temp, they behave well; when cold — as they mostly remain in stop-and-start city driving — they like to spin, and this gets old after a while. They’re loud, too. On a grooved overpass, their chunky tread pattern sounds like a siren, which is a pretty tasteless practical

joke when you’re driving a road rocket with an “Arrest me!” halo visible to every radar gun. There are some other small quirks, namely the gla cial-speed front seat movers that allow access to the roomy rear seats; the lack of a power lock/unlock switch in the instrument panel; and a supernaturally large ignition key that feels vaguely suspicious in the pocket. Just the same, the 2004 GTO is a bold new Pontiac for a brave new world. It’s a peal of thunder from down under that signals a thoroughly modern opportunity for muscle car buffs to get their Goat again for the first time.
