SPAULDING FOR LT. GOV I first met Jeb Spaulding in the late 1970s when he was surveying people in Montpelier about their musical tastes and other interests because he wanted to bring a new radio station to the area. What he brought was radio station WNCS, which was then a breath of fresh air for many of us who felt musically deprived. The fact that the station still thrives after 25 years is testimony to the sound foundation that Jeb created for it. I was then fortunate to be represented by Jeb in the Vermont Senate for 16 years. He showed me that he cared, knew the issues and, most importantly, knew how to bring people together to get things done. He is gracious, affable and absolutely not flamboyant. When I would see him in the State House, it was easy to see that he really knew what he was doing, really enjoyed it and never let it go to his head. More Vermonters are now aware of the importance of the

Vermont State Treasurers job, especially since the stock market and our economy has softened. We need someone who has demonstrated the ability to navigate our finances through rough waters. We need someone who knows that the job is more important than the person doing the job. Jeb Spaulding has proven long term that he is best suited to do the best job possible for all Vermonters, and that is why on Sept. 10 I will vote for Jeb Spaulding for Vermont State Treasurer in the Democratic Party. — Tony Klein East Montpelier REPEATING HISTORY? Thank goodness for Peter Kurth's pointing out the unpredictable parallels between Adolph Hitler and George W. Bush ["Crank Call," August 28]. As Kurth adeptly points out, both were supported by multinational corporations. Certainly Al Gore had no such support except for Chinese government-

owned companies, Internet businesses and Occidental Petroleum. Other than Presidents Clinton, Bush senior, Reagan, Carter, Ford, Nixon and Kennedy, I can think of no recent American president who was supported by such interests. Just as Hitler rounded up and murdered Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals and dissenters, the Bush Justice Department has detained and deported illegal aliens from certain countries whose national anthems tend to have lyrics which include phrases like "Death to.America." How Hitlerian can you get?... The final parallel is the burning of the Reichstag and the Sept. 11 attacks. Just as the Nazis burned down their parliament and blamed others, I am sure that we will ultimately find out that Bush actually planned the attacks in order to blame Muslim terrorists. Just ask Cynthia McKinney. Thanks again Peter Kurth, for showing me the light. Clearly those who ignore history

are condemned to become columnists. — David Don Burlington BUSH N O T QUITE A HITLER Peter Kurth had my full agreement for the first three quarters of his column, titled "Reich and Wrong" ["Crank Call," August 28], but I take issue with his accusation of "fascists now in power" in our government. Although I strongly agree that the executive branch of our government does not have the right to "ignore international law" (or Congress), I think Mr. Kurth has lost sight of who the real fascists are. He implies that we are the ones responsible for "...hundreds of thousands of Iraqis who've died [during] 10 years of sanctions." Maybe Mr. Kurth needs to visit the Middle East. We are not oppressors of the inhabitants of Iraq and other Middle Eastern continued on p a g e 4 6 a

Independence Integrity Experience PO Box 209, Burlington, VT 05402 802-951 -9500 EdforVT@sover.net wvsw.flonaganforvt.com Paid for by Flanagan for Vermont

Socialist Church Bet you were shocked to read in The Burlington Free Press Monday edition that Independent Congressman Bemie Sanders supports the union drive by the nurses at Fletcher Allen Health Care (FAHC). Wow! Our veteran left-wing congressman, a proud democratic socialist, backing workers against management! It was top-of-the-page news in the Freeps under the byline of Stephen Kiernan. Unbelievable. The story had as much news value as a "Dog Bites Man" report. But there is a genuine "Man Bites Dog" story involving the FAHC union battle that truly deserves attention. What if one of Vermont's most powerful conservative leaders were backing the union cause? Now that would be news, eh? Fact is, our old buddy and frequent target from the days of Vermont's Civil Unions' War, Most. Rev. Kenneth Angell, has also come out in support of the union drive by the Mary Fanny nurses. The head of Vermont's Roman Catholic diocese may find civil unions violate church teaching, but unions are another story in the eyes of the church.

Dubya's absence, he said, was the "buzz" of the conference. And, he added, "It reaffirmed the notion that the U.S. approach is one of unilateralism and indifference to global issues like worldwide poverty and environmental degradation." Great. Since taking office in the Great Electoral Vote Coup of 2000, our country has been on a steady downhill slide. The federal government's books are once again deep in red ink. The Bill of Rights has been suspended by executive order. And, like the mad son of a former king, Dubya's obsession with delivering Saddam Hussein's head on a platter to Papa Bush, regardless of the cost in American lives, is positively maniacal. After 21 months of Bush rule, a dark cloud of fear covers our land and hope for a better future has vanished. We've said it before and we'll say it again: George W. Bush is the greatest threat facing the democracy known as the United States of America. And the mess he'll leave behind will take a very long time to clean up.

King Con said he's heard the rumor, too, and Angell informed Boss Bill that "The Catholic there's absolutely no truth to it.

God bless him. Bush VS. World — Burlington Mayor Peter Clavelle is back home after attending the United Nations Earth Summit in Johannesburg, South Africa.

In all, 102 heads of state went to the Earth Summit, but not George W. Bush. Clavelle told Seven Days that he was "embarrassed by the behavior of the Bush administration."

If UVM students living off-campus are cited by city police for violating Burlington's quality-of-life ordinances, they'll promptly receive a letter from the university. The letter will inform them that the administration is aware of their misbehaving ways and urge them to be good citizens. In addition, President Fogel said, parents will

Curses, Foiled A g a i n Italian police reported that three men drilled a hole through the wall of a bank in Genoa, but after the first two men entered, | the third found that he was too fat tofit.He walked around to the front door for his accomplices to let him in, but the bank's security cameras recorded him, allowing police to identify Giovanni Sollami, 54. • Police in Tulsa, Oklahoma, chased a burglary suspect to the Arkansas River, where he jumped in to try and evade capture. His pockets were stuffed with jewelry, and he held on tightly to a duffel bag full of stolen goods that weighed nearly 50 pounds. "He got about 40 yards out and yelled for help," police representative Lucky Lamons said. "The officers took off their shirts, shoes and belts and jumped into the river. By the time they reached him, he had gone under." Rescue workers recovered the body of Edward Jerome McBride, 37, and the duffel bag containing cameras, compact discs and other items.

Chill Out When city councilors in Greenacres, Florida, approved construction of a new Wendy's hamburger restaurant with the stipulation that its outdoor garbage bins be air-conditioned, they were following the example of the nearby town of Lantana, where the garbage bins of a Wendy's sit inside a concrete block enclosure with a wall-mounted air conditioner. Plans for a new gas stationconvenience store in Lantana also include an enclosed air-conditioned trash bin. "Lantana, we set the trend," Town Manager Mike

who saw the shows with no sexual content remembered the ads better. The results were the same for men and women. "One possible reason why sex and violence impair memory for commercials is because people pay attention to sex and violence, thus reducing the amount of attention they can pay to the commercials. Another possibility is that sexual and violent content prompt sexual and violent thoughts," Bushman said. "Thinking about sex and violence, instead of the commercials, could reduce commercial memory."

Hard Sell Sex on television doesn't necessarily help advertisers sell their products, according to researchers at Iowa State University.

When a man rushed into the Azteca pastry shop in Mexico City for four straight mornings, each time threatening an employee with a knife and making off with a chocolate cake, police noted the robberies occurred promptly at 8 a.m. On the fifth day, officers simply staked out the store, and when Evaristo Perez, armed with a knife, showed up at 8 o'clock to demand his cake, they arrested him.

he added, "Drink too much beer in one go and the positive effects are negated."

C a u s e a n d Effect The earlier onset of puberty among black girls in the United States can be traced to hair products marketed to black people, according to Chandra Tiwary, former chief of pediatric endocrinology at Brooke Army Medical Center in Texas. The products, which are sold as shampoos or treatments to deep-condition dry, brittle hair, contain small amounts of the hormone estrogen. Tiwary, whose 1998 study of four girls — including a 14-month-old — who developed breasts or public hair after beginning to use such products, explained that the hormone is absorbed through the skin, indicating that long-term exposure could cause premature puberty. "I believe that the frequency of sexual precocity could be reduced," Tiwary said, "simply if children do not use those hair products."

I ey, Paul," I greeted my customer as he climbed into the front seat of my cab. "What's shakin'?" "Nothing but the bacon, brother," he replied. "Nothing but the bacon." He always answers that question the same way, but I never get tired of it. "Dion Street, right?" "Yup, you got it. Actually, you might as well drop me at Chuck's Mobil. I have to pick up some milk." I don't know much about Paul's life, though I've driven him quite a few times over the last year. That's not unusual. Even customers whose company I enjoy and with whom I talk up a storm — which definitely include Paul — don't necessarily share a lot of biographical info. I just know him as a hard-workjng, strapping young man who lives in Winooski. Most of the time we've talked about baseball — one of my favorite subjects. "Another beauty by Derrick Lowe last night," I said, jumping right into topic number one as we took off up the hill heading out of Burlington. "Didja catch it?"

that explanation before. How the heck do you know so much about baseball, anyway?" "I played college ball in New Hampshire. Pitched with some serious heat." Paul smiled at the memory. "I was actually drafted by the Indians. They were going to send me to Single A. Then my girlfriend got pregnant, and I figured I better get a real job. That's when we moved to Winooski, about a year ago." "So you're a dad now?" • "Sure am. Cindy's about four months old, and I don't regret a thing." ""Yeah, I was gonna ask. That must have been one tough decision, giving up baseball and all." "You would think, but I knew I wouldn't make the majors. I had the fast ball going in the low nineties, so some club had to draft me. But I couldn't place it real well, and couldn't get the curve over for the life of me. The fast ball alone carried me in college ball, but with spotty control and no curve ball to speak of, I knew real hitters — professional ballplayers — they were gonna light me up." "You know, Paul, that's amazingly clear thinking for a young man. When I was your age, I

My dad sold farm and garden equipment down there." "What a change," I said. "From the heart of farm country to the flatlander-infested south." I caught myself and stopped. "I don't know what I'm saying. Jeez, I spent the first 20 years of my life in New York City, so who am I..." Paul laughed. "No, I know what you mean. Southern Vermont's another world. Like, take Bennington College. That place is different." "Were you ever on campus?" "I was. My senior year in high school I delivered pizzas. There was one dorm where the girls would pick up their orders totally naked. I mean, flat-out nude!" "That's different, all right. I guess Dominos had no problem recruiting delivery guys in that town." "I guess maybe they didn't have any problem!" Paul replied, and both of us cracked up. I signaled right and eased off the highway at Exit 15. A left, another left, and we pulled into Chuck's Mobil. My mechanic once told me that Chuck's sells more gas than any other station in the state. I believe it; day or night, the place is hopping. We cabbies favor Chuck's. It's fast and clean, and the friendly cashiers are always willing to break twenties for

I mean, why don't you see more guys using it?" "Its a tricky pitch to throw," he replied. He then curled the forefinger and middle finger of his right hand.

In a time of critical need, iew restrictions on blood donors make it harder to give it yp

B Y PAMELA POLSTON

ots of flags will be waving next week to commemorate the first anniversary of September 11, but some Vermonters will undoubtedly express their patriotism with just one color: red. At least, that's what local blood banks are counting on. Last year after the terrorist attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C., an overwhelming number of donors — in Vermont, half of them were first-timers — stood in long lines in order to literally give to the cause. The nationwide effort led to a surfeit of blood — a situation the Red Cross looks back on wistfully now, and hopes will be repeated to some extent next week. "People remember where they were last year at this time, and a lot of them were standing in line to give blood," says Susan Parmer, senior director of the American Red Cross Blood Services for the New England Region. "We're hoping they'll do that again." The blood supply is at a dangerously low level now, Parmer says — about where it was before 9/11 last year, which was "less than normal to begin with." But unfortunately, and ironically, the Red Cross is also being forced to turn away a whole new category of donors: those who have lived in the U.K. more than three months, or continental Europe more than six months, since 1980. The reason? Fear of socalled "mad cow disease." There is some evidence, however slight, that the fatal neurological syndrome — officially called variant Creutzfeldt Jakob Disease, or vCJD — may be transmissible through the blood of individuals who have consumed meat from cattle infected with bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), or mad cow disease. That condition began to appear in U.K. herds in the early '80s; more than 100 people in Europe ultimately died as a result, and hundreds of thousands of cattle were slaughtered. Nevertheless, officials say hundreds of thousands more may have previously entered the human food chain. Vegetarians are not immune — at least not those who eat dairy: Any food product that

comes from cows can theoretically be infected. According to the Red Cross, there have been no verifiable cases of either mad cow disease or vCJD in the United States, but the federal Food and Drug Administration, which regulates blood products, isn't taking any chances. The dormancy period of the syndrome can be decades, and, until a test is developed to detect it, blood banks must err on the side of caution. While the raison d'etre of the Red Cross relies on the safety and integrity of its blood, this restriction is still a bitter pill to swallow. As regular donors know, the predrawing questionnaire and hematocrit test had already screened for a number of medical conditions and histories, including HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, malaria, sexually transmitted diseases, drug use and more. Since the new travel deferral criteria were instituted last October 15, they have put a dent in the numbers of donors in Vermont and nationwide — 9.5 percent of the total turned away, according to the Red Cross. A recent blood drawing at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire, illustrated the problem. "We go there two or three times a year, and the students are fantastic," Parmer says. "We haven't done anything differently, but there have been more deferrals because of the travel restriction." She speculates that the typically affluent Dartmouth student has spent enough time abroad to make the difference. < "We've tried to focus on freshmen," adds Carol Dembeck, the corporate communications specialist at the Red Cross in Burlington, "before they've had their year abroad or have traveled a lot." Some changes in eligibility over the past few years — uncapping the upper age limit, for instance — have helped to expand the pool of potential donors. Parmer notes that a lot of senior citizens lined up for the blood drive in Barre after 9/11, including an 80-year-old woman giving for the first time. Roughly 60 percent of the national population is eligible to give blood, but on average only 5 percent does. Even accounting for all the restrictions, that leaves a wide margin of potential donors.

"In Vermont, we have a higher penetration — about 9 percent in Vermont, 14 percent in Chittenden County — thanks to a loyal donor base and fantastic business support," Parmer says. But "in the past two years, system-wide, the theme is the same: We cannot keep up with the demand." Where is all that blood going? For one thing, people are living longer, so there are more

month, invited by Fletcher Allen Health Care as a cost-saving measure. While the Red Cross charges hospitals $180 per pint of blood, the California-based company charges $115 to $145. '"We were perplexed when it happened," confesses Parmer. "It's a small state to have two... It's confusing to people." "If this group succeeds, they'll provide the easy products," sug-

blood flow at either location. "We have to recover those donors," Parmer stresses. "We need 7000 additional units per year to compensate for the loss. That's a recruiting story for us." Burlington's Red Cross chapter is nothing if not creative in its myriad attempts to attract donors. A current advertising campaign, dubbed "Movers and Shakers," is counting on a follow-the-leader

'In the past two years, svstem-wide. the theme is 'the same: We cannot keen un with th'JiMiiMiliUf 1,— Susan Parmer, Senior DirectorJ American Red Cross/New Englan of us, period. Also, explains Parmer, chemotherapy treatments and surgeries are becoming more sophisticated — for example, organ transplants — resulting in a greater need for blood. T h e Vermont Red Cross' collection goal for 2 0 0 2 / 2 0 0 3 is 47,958 units (pints). T h e center reached only 93 percent of its monthly goal in August — though Parmer notes vacation times are difficult. The organization's primary mission is to provide Vermont's 14 hospitals with its blood needs — about 21,000 pints per year — and secondarily the New England region. In addition, units may be sent anywhere in the country to meet emergency need, such as that on 9/11. For the first time in its 50-year history in Vermont, the nonprofit Red Cross has a new, for-profit competitor. The Vermont Blood Center opened in Williston last

gests Dembeck. "They don't have the special cases, specialty testing. .. leuko-reduced blood — that's with the white blood cells taken out." O n e of the most common adverse reactions to a blood transfusion is to white cells. T h e cost of filtering out white cells does make the Red Cross product higher; however, the new blood center will sell "customized" blood products, including leukoreduced, according to clinical supervisor Guy Smith, who notes that an outside company does its testing. T h e rules for donors, mandated by the FDA, are the same at both places. "I'm hoping the travel restriction will be temporary," Smith says. Concern, and even a little defensiveness, about competition is understandable; Red Cross officials worry whether there will be enough donors to go around. T h e new deferrals will keep a lot of Vermonters from going with the

appeal. There are special promotions every month, such as August's "Dog and Cat Days of Summer," which included a pet photo contest and pet-related movies for donors. Dembeck's favorite holiday is Halloween, during which staffers are encouraged to wear costumes — and she's not above a little vampire humor. "We do have our gimmicks and enticements," agrees Parmer. "We try to make it fun. We will stop at almost nothing to bring in donors." While the Red Cross has long held blood drives at locations throughout the community, a new Blood Donor Coach has upped the ante on its "have needle, will travel" approach. Purchased secondhand from a chapter in Pennsylvania, the RVsized coach made its debut at the Shelburne Museum's "American Wanderlust" exhibit on July 29. In a couple of visits to the Church Street Marketplace since then, the self-contained bloodmobile was a big hit. "We were even getting tourists!" exclaims Parmer. "It's one more way to entice a new donor base." N o matter what the facility, the biggest challenge is simply to get people in the door. W h a t stops them? You might assume fear of the needle is number one. But that's only part of it, according to Gayle Ryan, a Red Cross training specialist. Mostly, "people just don't think about it," she says. "You talk to recipients, and they have a whole new view..." ®

ome people's careers are predestined by the type of work their parents did; others remain unmolded by the models that Mom and Dad constructed. Without a doubt, Lance Richbourg belongs in the former category. The St. Michael's College art professor and "painter laureate of baseball" was powerfully influenced by both his parents. His mother, a high school teacher and amateur artist, encouraged him to draw and paint, while his father, a Major League ballplayer in the 1920s and '30s, provided the subject matter and the psychological sway that have defined Richbourg's career as a painter. The sepia hue that seems to suffuse many of Richbourg's baseball paintings appears particularly pronounced these days. Even when his subjects are contemporary stars, Richbourg manages to transport viewers back to a semiimaginary Golden Age of Baseball — a time when sluggers got dosed on booze, not steroids, and when franchises were run like plantations and only the umpires ever called strikes. Now 63 and with two grown sons of his own, Richbourg is old enough to recall that era firsthand. He also had plenty of indirect experience, through his father, of the days of Ruth and Hornsby. The artist's own life began to take shape on a cattle ranch in northwest Florida near the

Alabama border. Richbourg's 17 years there left their mark on the cadence and inflection of his speech. Even after a quarter-century in Vermont, it's immediately obvious he's from away — away down South in Dixie. Richbourg returned to that sandy ranch in Crestview, Florida, in the early 1970s after earning an art degree from UCLA and making his professional debut at a Hollywood gallery. His father had earlier returned to Crestview after his baseball career. "Those were a good three years to spend working with my father, but it was just so isolated there," Richbourg recalls. He'd given ranching a fair try and had learned it was not for him. He decided instead to combine teaching with painting. New England seemed both charming and exotic, so he sent off job applications to several schools in the region, including a small Catholic college in northern Vermont. After an interview at St. Michael's College, he stopped in Manhattan to shop around a sampling of his paintings. The O.K. Harris Gallery, a pioneer in Soho, was among his first contacts in the New York art world. There, Richbourg found the outlet that would exhibit his work for the next 25 years. This month, in something of a triumphant return to the art world, Richbourg will have 18 new pieces hanging on Harris' walls from Sept. 14 until Oct.

Richbourg enjoys the classroom enough to bypass this opportunity to retire, even though he views it as an ancillary occupation. "I see myself as a painter; I never think of myself primarily as a teacher. There's not the necessity in teaching for me that there is in painting." Richbourg teaches for a very practical reason as well, he says: He's unable to earn a living solely as an artist.

As is the case with almost everyone who knows Richbourg, Werbel regards him as a genuinely warm-hearted h u m a n being. Indeed, not many artists of his level of ability remain so selfeffacing and considerate of others. Richbourg has had an enormous impact on some of his students. Randy Gaetano, for example, was so eager a protege that he took courses with Richbourg throughout his six-year stint at St. Mike's. "We had to invent a few of them," says Gaetano, who is

Lance will take something you've been working on that's not very good and he'll say, 'Let's fuck this painting up.' He'll paint all over it and then work with you in building it up again."

As in Zen, the master's contradictions are meant to lead novices to enlightenment. "When he sees you're getting too confused, he'll pull back and guide you directly. Lance forces you to figure out what's best for you," Gaetano says.

sync with the trends of his era. But both artists had the self-confidence to paint "against the grain." Eakins, it turns out, shared something else important with Richbourg. Recent research has revealed the great extent to which Eakins relied on photographs in composing his paintings. Richbourg, too, paints almost exclusively from photographs of his subjects rather than from life — which is supposed to be the way real artists work. "Working from photos always seemed to me to be a cheap trick," Richbourg confesses. "I never did not feel guilty about it. But it still seemed to be the only way of getting at what I wanted to express." And what, exactly, is

or his own work, Richbourg finds inspiration and validation in the art of Thomas Eakins (1844-1916). T h e technical virtuosity of that great American Realist is much in evidence in an Eakins survey at the Metropolitan Museum of Art that will close the day after Richbourg's O.K. Harris show opens. Richbourg has seen the Eakins exhibit four times, in New York and at previous venues. The two painters have much in common, observes Werbel, who happens to be an Eakins scholar. Both are superb draughtsmen, and each is "trying to capture celebrated moments in American culture," often through depictions of athletic prowess. There's even an early baseball scene by Eakins in the Met show. Richbourg says he admires Eakins' "irascible integrity" and the "antimodernism" that he practiced in his art throughout the Age of Impressionism, and during the still more radical years of experimentation that would follow. As with Eakins, Richbourg's insistence on applying classical principles and on using traditional techniques of representation have left him out of

that? Richbourg can't verbalize the ineffable something at the core of his art. He's also not able — or willing — to talk much about how his father's baseball career established the theme that would dominate his art. While acknowledging that Lance Richbourg, Sr. was "very important" in his life and work, the son says his relationship with his father "is not anything I've ever discussed with my shrink." However, Richbourg, Jr. does reveal that a long-cherished photograph of his father sliding into home eventually led him to a turning point in his art. T h e image in the photo — of the sliding player framed by the umpire about to make the call and the on-deck batter jumping excitedly into the air — "reminded me of a Greek frieze," Richbourg says. "There was something really classical about it." His first baseballcentered show went up in New York in 1976, a year after his dad had died loading cattle at age 77.

ignificantly, Richbourg never actually saw his father play professional ball. T h e elder man had finished his eight years in the Big Leagues and a subsequent stint in the Minors by the time his only son was born in 1938. That chronology may partly account for the aura of fable and mystery with which all of Richbourg's baseball paintings are imbued. The sublime portrayals of his father in action are no more wistful than Richbourg's depictions of today's superstars, for his father

4 DAYS ONLY - THURSDAY was one fine ballplayer. A career .308 hitter, he was the starting rightfielder for the Boston Braves from 1927 until 1931. The elder Richbourg was originally signed as a member of the New York Giants organization by none other than manager John McGraw, a Hall of Famer known as "Little Napoleon." And Richbourg, Sr. was later traded for Casey Stengel, who would become the prunefaced guru of the great Yankee teams of the '50s. The balletic movements captured in many of Richbourg's baseball tableaux have an authenticity and an elegance appreciated even by those who can't distinguish a triple from a triple play. "Lance's paintings totally transcend their subject matter," says Pat Parsons, a Burlingtonbased art dealer who has sold several of his works. "I'm not a big baseball fan, But it's obvious to me that there's nothing limited or specialized about Lance's treatment of that subject." Aesthetically, Parsons is especially impressed by Richbourg's handling of watercolors. "It's masterful," she says. "We usually think of watercolor as a soft and not gutsy medium, but Lance uses it in a very gutsy, masculine way. It's a good combination of yin and yang." Richbourg's baseball opus is focused on "the eternal ephemeral," art dealer Barry Neuman writes in the catalogue accompanying the artist's 1999 retrospective at Ohio's Butler Institute of American Art. It was also Neuman who termed Richbourg the "painter laureate of baseball." That description is entirely apt, many will agree, but a few may dispute Neuman's linked assertion that "there is nothing romantic, sentimental or fetishistic about [Richbourg's] work." To some eyes, his depictions of iconic sluggers in full throttle may appear a bit gushy. A case in point is Richbourg's recent rendering of the home-run hitter with the improbably apt name of Hermon Killebrew. Maybe the Washington Senators and Minnesota Twins strongman really did look so utterly God-like in mid-swing, but it's more likely that this pose is a trifle idealized. Still, no discerning critic will confuse Richbourg's aesthetically rigorous compositions with the worshipful sporting-world setpieces that Leroy Nieman has long produced — for prices far in excess of what Richbourg can fetch. At the same time, it seems fair to pose the possibility that baseball has confined, as well as defined, Richbourg as an artist. Writing in the retrospective's catalogue, Butler director Louis Zona notes, "An ongoing, selfimposed challenge for the artist has been his near-exclusive utilization of the theme of baseball as subject. Part of that challenge is of course the ever-constant concern that so popular a subject immediately casts a non-serious light on his work." Zona goes on to argue that Richbourg's talent refutes any such denigration and overcomes

September 4, 2002

BY ALEXIA BRUE

n New York City, the dog days of summer mean you can smell exactly where your neighbors poodle just relieved itself. But despite the odors of urban living, the end of season can be a rewarding time for a weekend in the city. Locals are still aggressively relaxing in the Hamptons or on Fire Island, making it easy for visitors to get tables at restaurants that might otherwise be packed, to purchase last-minute theater tickets, and to wander through popular museum shows.

Whether or not you want to partake of next week's inevitable 9/11 commemoration activities, you can still take Manhattan, armed with this Burlington transplant's suggestions for the best places to eat, sleep, visit and dance without having to take out a second mortgage on your house. Jet Blue's 4:50 p.m. flight gets you there in time for cock-

tails. O r you can start drinking on the plane. FRIDAY NIGHT: New York's East Village, especially the far-eastern Alphabet City, was once considered the bailiwick of junkies and artsy squatters a la Rent. Now the East Village, and the Lower East Side, for that matter, are home to the Wall Street and Wallpaper sets. Moreover, the area has become a prime culinary stomping ground, where casual restaurants serve delicious food at bargain prices. 6 p.m. Before dinner, load up on free samples at the Kiehl's flagship store. T h e funky, Old World pharmacy is packed with a hundred years' worth of bric-a-brac under the light of vintage chandeliers. You'll find a cornucopia of elixirs, from tomato-face masks to the ever-popular hair creme. Best of all is the sample counter, where salespeople dole out generous handfuls of every

product. (Kiehl's, 109 Third Ave. between 13th & 14th streets, 212677-3171. Open Mon/Wed/Fri: 10 a.m. - 6:30p.m.; Tue/Thu: 10 a.m. - 7:30p.m; Sat: 10 a.m. -6 p.m; Sun: 12 noon - 6p.m.) 7 p.m. Put your name on the list at Supper before the dinner rush. They don't take reservations, and your entire party must be present before they'll even take your name. Supper's decor is as eclectic as Kiehl's, but the food is focused. After four months in business, this Northern Italian newcomer is the hands-down neighborhood favorite. Designwise, it looks like an Italian grandmother and her gay grandson collaborated with equal parts tradition and flair. Inside are two glassed-in, climate-controlled wine "cellars," but the $21 house Pinot Grigio is a fine way to go. T h e food is simple, unadulterated and uniformly excellent. Try hard-to-find appetizers like the bagna caoda, in which

GETTING T H E R E : Log onto jetblue.com.~One-way fares to New York's Kennedy Airport range from $ 4 0 to $ 1 0 0 depending on the flight. From JFK you can get into the city for only $1.50. Take the free airport shuttle, just outside JetBlue's terminal, to the Howard Beach subway station. The A train makes express stops in Manhattan.

UNPACKING: In the city that never sleeps, you'll still need a place to rest your head. Before becoming indignant at the prices, remember that vacationing New Yorkers pay $42 a night just to lodge their dogs at the Paws Inn. People need more closet space and better plumbing, so you can do the math. • The Larchmont Hotel is located smack in the middle of Greenwich Village in a 1910 Beaux Arts building. The cozy, residontial-style lodgings are comfortable, clean, convenient and, best of all, cheap. Each room has a color TV, telephone, ceiling fan, air conditioner and private washbasin. Full bathrooms are down the hall. Prices include a continental breakfast with fresh-baked rolls, juice, coffee and tea. Weekend rates: single $85 to $ 9 5 ; double $ 1 0 0 to $ l i $ ; : § i | e e n $125.;Weekday rates are slightly cheaper. (The Larchmont Hotel, 27 West 11th St. between 5th & 6th, 212-9899333, www. Iarch mo n thotel, com). • The Carlton Arms Hotel is both a rent-a-room museum and an ideal place for a dirty weekend. Each of the 52 rooms is decorated with fantastical murals painted by different artists who have passed through its halls. The Arms was transformed from a flophouse to an art house in the late 1980s and is now a destination for young, nomadic, up-and-coming artists. You can view the murals and choose your room on their Web site. Doubles with a bathroom go for $ 9 5 a night; wjjhout a bath, $80. Not for the faint of bedbug or germophobe. (Carlton Arms Hotel, 160 East 25th St., 212-684-8337 www. car I ton arms.com.) • For something spiffier and newly renovated, try the 22-room Chelsea Lodge, located in a brownstone on a quiet block in the central Chelsea neighborhood. The rooms are clean and comfortable and include everything you need — bed, shower, sink, AC — but the toilet is down the hall. Singles, $ 9 0 ; doubles, $ 1 0 5 . (The Chelsea Lodge, 318 West 20th St., www.chelsealodge.com, 212-243-4499/1 -800-373-

1116.)

anchovies are ground with a mortar and pestle, then mixed with butter and herbs to create a warm "bath." It's served in a fondue pot and is perfect for dipping crudites. Favorite entrees include the Priest Stranger — extra-dense pasta served with spicy marinara sauce and topped with fresh sheep's-milk ricotta for

$9.95. T h e veal scallopini alia Milanese, with salad, is large enough for two and a bargain at $12.95. (Supper, 156 Second St., between avenues A & B, 212-4770823/212-477-7600.) 9 : 3 0 p.m. For a little post-prandial sweet, head over to Veniero's. Since 1884 the ever-expanding pastry shop has made mouths water and hips swell with its luscious cannolis, cheesecakes and butter cookies. How to try everything without blowing all your Weight Watchers points? Order a plate full of miniatures and a thimble of espresso. (Veniero's, 342 East 11th St., 212-674-7264.) 1 0 : 3 0 p.m. Capitalize on the caffeine buzz: Walk back to your hotel and "rest" up for tomorrow. T h e digs may not be glamorous — see sidebar — but nothing beats having your own room in the Big City, even without a view.

At $6.95 to $9.95, it's pricier than your basic bagel sandwich, but still less than a sit-down breakfast. (Russ & Daughters, 179 East Houston St., 212-475-4880.) 1 0 a .m.

Tours led by knowledgeable, engaging graduate students leave at least every half hour but fill up fast.

SUNDAY 1 0 : 3 0 a .m. Dim Sum brunch is a singular Chinatown experience. For first-timers, the Golden Unicorn is a safe bet, because the normally gruff Chinatown waiters take some pains to welcome non-Chinese-speaking patrons. After settling on a pot of tea — jasmine, chrysanthemum or mixed — order a selection of delicacies from the carts flying by. Try the pearl shrimp dumplings, Sui Mai pork and shrimp dumplings, turnip cakes and the Chinese chive dumplings. Brunch for two, including the standard tea fee, should be

roughly $25. (Golden Unicorn, 18 East Broadway at Catherine St., 3rd floor, 212-941-0911.) 1 p.m. If you're overwhelmed by the Big Three — the Met, Guggenheim and Whitney — try taking in some smaller museums you may not have visited before, such as the Frick or the recently opened Neue Gallery.

The Frick Collection: Henry Clay Frick was a steel and railroad tycoon with a penchant for art collecting. His Fifth Avenue mansion, built in 1915, now houses 16 galleries where you can view his collection almost exactly as he left it. Highlights include paintings and sculptures by Goya, El Greco, Ingres, Manet, Monet, Titian, Rembrandt, Velazquez and Vermeer. (The Frick, 1 E. 70th St. at Fifth Ave. Tue-Sat: 10 a.m. - 6p.m; Sun: 1-6p.m; $10. www.frick.org.) Neue Galerie: The project of philanthropist Ronald Lauder and his art-dealer friend Serge Sabarsky, the Neue Galerie explores the fine and decorative art of early 20th-century Germany and Austria. In addition to examining how the fine and decorative arts influenced each other, the museum's other mission is to "bring a sense of perspective back to Germanic culture of this period." The two floors of gallery space in this lovingly restored Fifth Aven ue townhouse- con ra rn "1 r vwofks by Kah^in:sky, Klee, '' - ^ Egon Schiele, Josef Hoffmann and many others. Complete the experience with a strudel or Linzertorte at Cafe Sabarsky, the 19th-century Viennese cafe on the ground floor. (The Neue Galerie, 1048 Fifth Ave. at 86th St. Fri/Sat/ Mon: 11 a.m. - 7 p.m; Sun: 1-6p.m. $10. www. neuegalerie. org.) Willing to postpone your return flight until Monday morning? Head back downtown for New York's most laid-back dance party. 6 p . m . Body & Soul. For the past six years, this weekly dance party has been the unlikely toast of lower Manhattan. No alcohol, just dancing. The brainchild of DJs Danny Krivit, Joe Claussell and Francois K, it's a spiritual dance party with a mission statement: "an opportunity to let one's guard down and truly share and celebrate the most vibrant energy that music and dancing give us.' (Vinyl, 6 Hubert St. between Greenwich & Hudson. Sun: 5-11 p.m. $15 non-members. 212-330-9169.) 10 p.m. Bubby's. For a late dinner, head to this Tribeca favorite, which many cast members of "Saturday Night Live" treat as their cafeteria. Delicious, wholesome, hearty food at reasonable prices. Don't miss the espresso milkshakes or the strawberry rhubarb pie. (Bubby's, 120 Hudson St. at N. Moore, 212219-0666.) ®

P l e n t y o f p e o p l e d i d n ' t t h i n k Seven

Days

w o u l d l a s t l o n g e r t h a n its n a m e :

a w e e k . It s e e m e d l i k e p o l i t i c a l s u i c i d e t o g o u p a g a i n s t a G a n n e t t - o w n e d daily and two weeklies — one of which we had created — in a small, media-saturated market. If the venerable Vanguard Press had failed five years before in Burlington's most "alternative" era, what kind of business bimbos would launch a successor on the heels of a recession, with nary a trust fund in sight? Every journalist dreams of ousting the editor and publisher, and that's more or less the story of Seven Days. At the news-oriented Vermont Times, we created the arts paper Vox, only to discover five months later that both papers were for sale. We tried to buy Vox, despite some unfavorable conditions. But every business guru we consulted said the same thing: "Start over. D o your own." Chief among them was Angelo Lynn at the Addison Independent, a patient advisor and strong advocate of local journalism who was always willing to take our frantic phone calls. It may have been the Kruschevian exit interview that converted us into petty capitalists. T h e new out-of-state owners of Vermont Times promised to "bury" us, and followed up with the patronizing recommendation: "You girls better have a business plan." We did, actually, have a document that quantified the viability of a lively mix of weekly news, views and culture, and it looked pretty professional, thanks to local accountants Colleen Montgomery and Marcia Merrill. We were convinced — and still are — that Vermonters would embrace a smart, edgy alternative to the mainstream daily take on their lives. People told us it would take at least a quarter-million bucks to pull it off. W e borrowed $70,000 and, in six weeks, had landed an office, hired six employees and conceptualized and designed the paper.

O u r first calendar writer, Clove Tsindle, spent endless hours calling organizations to relay our story and ask them to notify us of their events. God is in the details.

W i t h o u t mail — and now e-mail — there would be no newspaper. Reluctantly, Rick Woods agreed to head up our sales team. An avowed anticonsumerist, he nonetheless managed to convince dozens of advertisers to buy into three issues of a product they had never seen — and pay for the run in advance. H e established a standard for honesty and customer service that set our salespeople apart from the pack. Despite several attempts to leave the paper, he is now our general manager. Some early obstacles proved to be good fortune. Originally, Seven Days was going to be called Vermont Voice. But Vermont Times attorneys sent us a cease and desist letter, claiming ownership of all transla-

tions of the word "Vox," including "Voice." Rather than get into a costly lawsuit, we promptly changed the name to Seven Days and kept on going. Within a matter of days, we had redesigned our logo and sales materials. Sam Hemingway reported our David-and-Goliath tale in a late August issue of The Burlington Free Press. T h e back-to-school stories in our first issue ranged from a survey of pizza purveyors to an interview with the man who invented the S.A.T. We personally drove the paper two hours south to Upper Valley Press in Bradford, where Seven Days was printed weekly for a little more than a year. Like expectant parents, we stood by the press as the first copies came off, marveling at the might of a machine that

could multiply our efforts by 12,000. T h e next day, we learned first-hand about distribution by hauling vast loads of papers north to Burlington in our own bottomed-out cars. But we had a strategy, maps and a ragtag team that included current circulation driver Nat Michael. O n September 6, 1995, the debut issue of Seven Days hit the streets. Readers and advertisers were generally satisifed with the way it looked and read. Meanwhile, the Sisyphean scope of the project was just

dawning on us: Exhausted, we realized we had to get u p and do it all over again. For the first few years, it was a sevendays-a-week proposition — the inspiration for many a "We wished we'd called it 'Five Days'" joke. Between business, personnel, writing and editing, there was no such thing as a weekend. We also cleaned the office, sold ads, pasted u p and did collections. O n Tuesday nights, we'd drive the paper to SarduccKs-in Montpelier — the designated halfway point between our office and Bradford — where a courier from the press picked it up. Inevitably, during the legislative session the Italian eatery was packed with politicians — all avid readers of Peter Freyne's "Inside Track." Two months after we started publishing, Freyne brought his popular column to Seven Days, making the paper a must-read for Vermont's political junkies in and out of the Statehouse. You've "arrived," as they say in campaign circles, when Freyne assigns you an embarrassing nickname. O n the way h o m e — sometimes in a blizzard — we'd brainstorm stories for the next week. Even now, we rely primarily on freelance writers and photographers, most of whom have other jobs. We also asked "celebrity" authors to write for us — including David Budbill, Howard Frank Mosher, David Huddle, Julia Alvarez, Ron Powers, Marialisa Calta, Molly Stevens and Philip Baruth — and they did, generously. T h e story Tom Paine contributed to our first fiction issue promptly won a Pushcart Prize. Some other, more enterprising stories just pissed people off — and probably helped us gain admission into the selective Association of Alternative Newsweeklies on the first try, in 1997. Freyne kicked up a lot of controversy when he wrote about Fred Hill, a convicted pedophile who was caught downloading kiddie porn on the job at Vermont Public Radio. It was mighty uncomfortable around the office for a few weeks — until the Boston Globe Sunday Magazine legitimized our reports by publishing its own story on the same subject. We learned the hard way that sometimes pictures speak louder than words — especially when the image is an erect penis. Similarly, in the ad department, we quickly discovered that point size matters when the words "Holy Shit" end u p on the back page. In the newspaper business, walking the line between prurient and puritanical, gratuitous and censorious requires careful stepping. W h e n we've slipped up, we'd like to think it's been on the side of free speech. N o less defining was the reader's survey

F I R S T IN L I N E In August 1995, the fledgling Seven Days sales crew hit the streets and sold enough ads for a 28-page paper. The first three issues, in fact. The following businesses took a risk on a product they had never seen — an act of faith for which we are still grateful. Without these "charter" advertisers in Seven Days, we might not be here now. (Some of them aren't here now, but we thank them in memoriam anyway.)

With a remarkable number of responses, we proved to our advertisers that the typical Seven Days reader was not as young — or broke — as they thought. The average reader turned out to be a 39year-old female college graduate living in Chittenden County who was willing to drive up to an hour and a half for quality food, entertainment, shopping or recreation. Happily for our classified ad sales people, she was also likely to be single and looking for a better job. After a little bit of

cramped, no-cubicles office, which moved from the basement of Millers Landmark — now the Borders building on Church Street — to South Champlain Street in 1997. Every year, one of our employees has bought a house. That particular statistic helped us win Business of the Year Award from the Lake Champlain Chamber of Commerce in 2000 — an honor that gave us an especially warm feeling because we beat out the Free Press to get it. Not all the media is the same, we argued. And nothing speaks to and builds community like an inde-

W h a t kind of business b i m b o s w o u l d l a u n c h a s u c c e s s o r to t h e Vanguard o n t h e h e e l s o f a recession, with nary a trust f u n d in s i g h t ? initial ice breaking, our "personals" exploded. The employment classifieds followed suit, growing to the point where we had to contain the help-wanted ads in a second section. Art director Don Eggert had the bright idea of turning the cover of "Section B" into a "community gallery." He also singlehandedly designed our Web site, which involved contacting the Japanese punk band that owns our wouldhave-been domain name. We turned down their offer to buy sevendays.com for $10,000. Along with the page count, which has grown from 28 to 96, the Seven Days staff has expanded from an initial six to 18 with an actual layer of "middle management." Its more like a family than a corporation, though — kind of like "The Osbournes" meets "E.R." Many a recent grad has launched his or her career in our

pendent, local newspaper that serves as a clearinghouse for its stories, listings, empassioned letters, advertisements and cartoons. In addition, we sponsor countless events, from the Burlington Discover Jazz Festival to all the FlynnSpace shows. Our colleagues at alternative weeklies around the country can't understand how a small city like Burlington supports a paper as fat and happy as Seven Days. We tell them it's a reflection of the community in which we live. Our success over the past seven years is a testament to your activity, inquisitiveness and sense of humor — the nearly 60,000 people who pick up our paper every week and the businesses who pay for it. Thanks for assuring we'll never run out of things to write about. Our birthday hat's off to you. ® — Paula Routly and Pamela Polston

HOW WAS IT FOR Y O U ?

P r e t t y g o o d , a p p a r e n t l y , f r o m w h a t s e v e n Seven

hen I moved to Vermont in '94, I was amazed at the amount of music, art, theater and creativity in general bursting out of these few square blocks of Burlington. There was in the air a kind of earthy-green, yet streetwise, open-minded, unspoken, entrepreneurial alliance between the many musicans, artists, writers and business folk who boldly crawl out from under many rocks throughout Vermont. It was such an amazing vibe, but no publication around to capture it... The Vermont Times was okay, but it was like a postcard you send somebody, reejking with overquaint, over-the-fence niceties and stale maple syrup candies.

W h e n that first issue of Seven Days came out, I scarfed it down like Goldilocks and said: "This is just right! Ahhh yes... now these two girls got it right baby!" And it has been an /^dispensable, unifying, "baked fresh daily" hit of nutrition for this community ever since... (Not to mention, they gave a wonderfully perceptive good review to my first C D back then too!) Seven Days is An Essential Amino Acid of Vermont. I don't think my body would digest the

same if I did not have the weekly copy enshrined in its hallowed place in my bathroom. I can't help but think that Elvis might still be alive today if he had a copy of Seven Days on his crapper, too. H a p p y Anniversary, You Guys! — Jim Branca Fairfax Recently I mentioned to a friend... that 1 didn't know about something that had happened locally. She responded: "Must be it wasn't covered in Seven Days!" I love reading Seven Days... I usually also look at the Sunday edition of that other paper, and the amount of time it takes me to get through it is insignificant compared with the time I take reading Seven Days. Originally I didn't like Peter Freyne but now I really enjoy most of his comments, especially because he takes on such hardhitting topics. I love Jernigan and would enjoy reading him every week if I could. I look forward to reading most of your weekly contributors, like Lola and Cecil [Adams, "Straight Dope"] and Rob Breszny ["Free Will Astrology"]. I think everyone should

Days

advertise in Seven Days because it's so reasonable. I get very, annoyed with that other paper for the amount it charges to advertise, particularly for school systems, who don't have tons of money to waste on expensive ads. Anyway, I've got a wedding to go to next Saturday, so I probably won't make it to Burlington to help you celebrate these past seven years. But congratulations! You're the best! — Karen Grace Montpelier

I've been in and around the Burlington business community for 30-some years and I've seen many weekly papers come and go: The Vermont Freeman, The ' Eclipse, The Vanguard, Vermont Woman. W h a t happened this time around was that you girls had a tremendous amount of energy and the market had matured enough to be able to support a good weekly paper. Your commitment to the news and to colorful news and to news with a different twist from what you find in the daily paper has been a big part of your success. Not to mention the hard work — your commitment to what you're doing is a big part of it,

PROCLAMATION WHEREAS, the weekly newspaper Seven Days was launched seven years ago by its enterprising co-publishers and editors, Pamela Polston and Paula Routly; and

readers are saying a b o u t us. too. It's a pleasure to work with you and a pleasure to pick up the paper. Kudos! — Jamie Leopold Burlington I enjoy reading Seven Days for many reasons, especially your irreverent sen$e of humor; nothing is sacred if it takes itself too seriously. For me the paper fills a great gap in local coverage, providing news and reviews of community people and events I wouldn't hear about in mainstream media. I also find the political insight refreshing and enlightening. W h a t I appreciate most about Seven Days is the excellent writing. My all-time favorite piece was the essay by Ruth Horowitz about caring for her mother. Keep up the good work! — Kim Chase Burlington W h a t really struck me was here Pamela and Paula had just designed a newspaper called Vox — everything from all of the names of the columns, the listings — and they were all so great. And then within eight or nine months they were having to design and develop a completely different paper: new names and a new look. That they did it and they did it so well was a remarkable thing to have witnq»$£<k v We're all part of a grotrji. of girls who gather informally eight or nine times a year. Pamela and Paula had to come up with a new name within two days. There were eight of us women sitting around the table. They kept saying Seven Days, Seven Days, and we were scratching our heads. We

were thinking of Seventh Day Adventists. I'm just thrilled and amazed at what a great newspaper it is. — Fran Stoddard Williston O n e of our Wednesday rituals is to go out and get Seven Days. If we can't find the paper, we literally go from place to place looking for it. T h e n we always bring home two because we both do the crossword puzzle. We generally spend from January to April in Arizona, and when we're there we read Seven Days on line. We often mention how frequently stuff we read in Seven Days eventually makes it to other newspapers, including the local daily. — Sam and Harriet Hand Burlington T h e Vanguard gave us perhaps not as much arts coverage as Seven Days — which you do extremely well. However, I miss the regular and in-depth alternative — or I should say truthful — approach to local and state current events that we used to get from the Vanguard and occasionally Vermont Times. I personally, and the c o m m u n i t y as a whole, would benefit from more current events coverage. Having said all that, I really enjoy the regular columnists and writers. You've done a very good job, given what your mission is. I'm hopeful that you'll consider expanding the mission. D o u g Hoffer Burlington

WHEREAS, Seven Days has become essential reading for anyone wanting to stay current with Burlington's -and Vermont's— cultural happenings and political shenanigans; and

WHEREAS, Seven Days is a "must read" for those walking—or stalking—Vermont's halls of power and campaign trails, particularly to see who garners each week's "15 minutes of Freyne"; and

WHEREAS, Seven Days consistently showcases significant journalistic and writing talent from our city and across the region; and WHEREAS, on September 7, 2002, the many friends of Seven Days will gather to celebrate the publication's seventh anniversary; NOW, THEREFORE, by the powers vested in me as Mayor of the City of Burlington, I, Peter Clavelle do hereby proclaim Saturday, September 7, 2002 as

SEVEN PAYS PAY in the City of Burlington, and ask all to join me in applauding the achievements of Seven Days' publishers, editors, writers, photographers, illustrators, designers, and staff.

Peter Clavelle, Mayor

S E P T E M B E R 6, 1 9 9 5 re we nuts or what? Two editors, motivated by good writing, venturing into the dog-eat-dog world of publishing? A couple of neophyte entrepreneurs set on succeeding in a business increasingly dominated by Wal-Martesque conglomerates? Nine months ago we had no intention of owning a paper. We had just invented one we liked a lot — Vox — and looked forward to writing and editing it for years to come. But a sudden change in the paper's ownership drastically altered our plans. In short, we realized the only way to carry out our editorial mission was to become our own publishers. It was a daring — some may say downright risky — move, and one that would probably have been impossible anywhere else. Where — if not Vermont — can you have a chat with the mayor in the morning and turn up in his speech that afternoon? In what other city does the electric company offer words of encouragement as they're hooking up your service? Ditto the phone guys, landlord and parking lot attendant? Maybe we are crazy. Crazy to think Vermont deserves a feisty, provocative weekly owned and written by people who know the community. Crazy to believe that people appreciate intelligent, well-written articles on pages that look as good as they read. Crazy to want to work this hard to make it happen. O n e thing's certain: We're crazy about this paper. T h e goal of Seven Days is to provide a weekly mix of articles about people, places and things worth doing, as well as news — with a twist — reviews, opinion, entertainment and up-to-the-minute listings. In short, the definitive word on life in Vermont. • Thanks to all the other people out there who share our vision and believe we can transform it into newsprint — our staff, investors, advertisers, family and friends. Seven Days will deliver.®

During his first years as an artist, Richbourg composed Pop Art paintings of cowboys. He also executed several commissioned portraits, which were "always very frank and always done from life," he says. Perhaps most intriguingly, Richbourg's first

So fearless an imagination, coupled with such consummate skill, might have given the world a host of works more provocative than anything in his baseball league. It still might: Richbourg is nowhere near ready to put down his brush. But even if it hasn't afforded him a liveable income, baseball-has been very good to Lance Richbourg. And he in turn has shown baseball to be a metier worthy

dissauded the artist from moving into other fields. What he's produced has clearly satisfied a specific demand in segments of the art world. In addition to pieces purchased by the Butler and by a few other museums and corporations, Richbourg's work has been added to some business and private collections in Vermont. As Cohen puts it, "He's not a secret here."

"Sliding In," 1976, oil on canvas, by Lance Richbourg of The Beatles for She Loves You, a 1997 book by Burlington writer Elaine Segal. Richbourg also painted a series of "Mad Dogs" that is wildly unlike his baseball oeuvre. Richbourg's ballplayers may seem to stroll down an American dream-path, but his snarling Hell-hounds have come bounding out of some nasty nightmare. Richbourg's early career was also varied enough to include an additional baseball inspiration. He created caricatured heads of politicians that were then affixed to drawings of the bodies of baseball players. The clever idea was to reprint the politi-

New York show in the mid-'70s included a depiction of a public hanging along with three baseball scenes. Executions had taken place decades earlier on a gallows erected on the Courthouse Square of Florida town where Richbourg's family lived. He painted two of them from photos in a manner he describes as realistic but not excessively gory. Not surprisingly, this subject matter caused some consternation for the gallery owner, but the hanging piece exhibited at Harris did find a buyer — a woman from Tennessee, Richbourg recalls.

of his talent. Richbourg has not been content to paint stock images; instead, he challenges himself by shifting the methods and media through which he evokes the sport and its metaphors. "I don't think he's limited at all," says Janie Cohen, curator of UVM's Fleming Museum of Art, which owns one of the "Mad Dog" paintings. Cohen observes, however, that "Lance's good fortune of having a strong gallery career may have influenced his decisions along the way." Baseball art has proved a comfortable niche, in other words, and may thus have

But Richbourg's audience does reside mainly beyond the Green Mountains. Even a set of T-shirts bearing his baseball scenes sold better in Japan than in Vermont, reports Wayne Turiansky, whose Burlington store, Amalgamated Culture Works, produced the shirts in the '90s. Memo to the Fleming: It would be nice if Vermonters got a first-hand chance to come to their own conclusions about the work of an artist who is, indisputably, one of the states greatest painters. Wouldn't Richbourg's 65th birthday be a fitting occasion for an in-state retrospective? ®

henever I consider the differences between men's and women's fashion, the Academy Awards come to mind. For better or worse, who can forget Bjork's swan dress ^ ^fl^coi^ple ^eajs^back? O r - , ^ parent :top at this year's festivities? On the other hand, who can remember the differences between the tuxes Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe sported to pick up their Oscars? Not that every — or any —- guy should look like Liberace, but sometimes you have to wonder if men's styles could get any duller. Because of these snoozy preconceptions, I approached the "Clothes Make the MAN" exhibition at Montreal's McCord Museum with some trepidation. The day I visited, however, it was brutally hot in the city, so escaping to any air-conditioned, cavelike environment made this man happy. And, actually, the McCord makes a good case that the words "men" and "fashion" can belong in the same sentence. "Clothes Make the MAN" looks not only at how men's styles have changed over the past three centuries but also at evolving concepts of what constitutes a "manly image." Though the display is organized along several themes — including propriety, fraternity and production — it keeps circling back to how a man's desire to be fashionable has always been tempered by a stronger desire not to have his masculinity questioned. Many an insult has been hurled at the appearance-conscious man over the years, among them coxcomb, popinjay, fop, macaroni, dandy and dude — minus the Keanu Reeves exclamation-point intonation. In other words, a guy should look stylish but not too stylish, i.e., homosexual. The McCord tip-

toes around this point a bit, avoiding the admittedly modern word "gay" until the "Questions to Ponder" placard at the exhibition's conclusion. More interesting, in any event, than broad and sometimes predictable thematic statements are the clothes themselves. Some

masculine: sturdy fabrics in somber colors, no frills, and definitely no flowers. Others defy expectations — at least contemn porary ones. An 18th-century emerald-green silk coat embellished with elaborate pink and white floral embroidery falls into this latter category. If the 18th-century aristocrat was allowed a bit of flamboyant excess to mark his manhood and place in society, the Victorian man was not. In the 19th century, subtle tailoring of fine but muted fabrics replaced ostentatious froufrou. Not that there wasn't any embellishment; it just went, literally, undercover. If a man's physique was either lacking or overabundant, a little secret fabric manipulation could ease nature's imperfections. Today we have to hit the gym or get liposuction. The exhibition goes heavy on formalwear, including a suit worn by former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau — in keeping with the show's appropriately Canadian slant. But some of the most beautiful pieces are accessories. When a man's fashion sense gets constrained by societal convention, he compensates by accessorizing boldly. I was particularly taken with a display of gorgeously patterned 19th-century silk handkerchiefs — that is, until I read that the patterns functioned to "disguise the results of snuff use." Some lovely Eastern-inspired brocaded dressing gowns, smoking jackets and fez-like caps continued the tobacco theme. These luxurious garments, worn only in

These luxurious garments prevented smoke fumes from permeating a Victorian man's public clothes and gave him the opportunit L :o get gussied up among friends, snatch it up and return to an age when smoking was considered to have "healthful properties." T h e salutary benefits of physical activity were often used to usher in style innovations, particularly those that threatened longheld ideas about modesty or sexuality. A swimwear display, for instance, reveals how men's suits have shrunk from a cumbersome neck-to-knee style popular in the 1860s to the more practical streamlined suits of today. Until the 1930s, it was taboo for a man to appear bare-chested in public. Ironically, the loose-fitting trunks most guys favor now are in some ways more modest than the oldfashioned jersey swimsuits, which, the exhibition text wryly notes, "covered much but left little to the imagination." Speaking of coverage, one of the highlights of "Clothes Make the M A N " is a history of the fly. A selection of trousers dating from the 1700s through the 1990s illustrates how concealment of and access to a certain portion of the male anatomy has changed over time. Observing a

buttons. H o w easy we have it today with the generally foolproof zipper! Its domination over the button-fly wasn't secure, however, until men became convinced that "failing technology" wouldn't leave them wide open to embarrassment. T h e exhibition goes on, from novelty ties to detachable collars. T h e sportswear section has treats for hockey and snowshoeing aficionados, along with a blindingly bright pair of polyester tennis slacks. For guys like me, who are unlikely to encounter a Papal Zouave uniform in daily life, here's the chance. Another uniform of sorts — a leather jacket from the 1980s — cleverly combines the slogan "Eat the Rich" with skull and cutlery crossbones. "Clothes Make the M A N " concludes with examples of how women's fashion has liberally borrowed from men's but generally not vice versa, with a few notable exceptions such as the Scottish kilt. O n e can hope, as gender roles and rules continue to shift, that future exceptions might give men's fashion a needed kick in the

or objects —: including First Nations works and an impressive photographic archive — relating to the history of Canada, with a focus on Quebec and Montreal. Anticipating the infernal heat outside, I was tempted to jump into a display featuring monster Montreal snowstorms. It wasn't until I hit the streets and saw some saggy-trou'd hip-hop boys sauntering past that I realized at least one important male garment was absent from the show. Unless Canadian men have gone commando for three centuries, it seems odd there wasn't at least a cursory peek into what lies beneath the clothes that make the man. Heck, if American presidents are willing to admit their preferences, it seems only fair to expose the history behind that age-old query: boxers or briefs, dude? ®

henceforth be notified when their little pride-and-joys are cited for drug and alcohol violations. Somehow, veteran Freeps' scribe Molly Walsh completely missed the historic significance of the new policy. Instead, she led with the new late-night student bus service, operating on weekends between downtown and campus. And Good Golly Miss Molly saw fit to remind everyone that President Fogel will not be making the Englesby House his permanent residence. His choice of living quarters has become a pet peeve for our out-of-state owned local daily. Look. If Dan the Man can get UVM students to behave like good neighbors, who really cares where he and his wife sleep at night? D e a n W a t c h 2 0 0 4 — The hits just keep on coming for our favorite presidential hopeful. On CNN's "Capitol Gang" over the weekend, Al Hunt of the Wall Street Journal asked Andy Stem, the president of America's largest labor union, which Democratic candidate for president "is making the most waves for union people." "Interestingly enough," replied Mr. Stern of the Service Employees International Union, "one of the people who's making the most waves is Howard Dean, and basically because he's talking about universal health care. And in this era, when you see so many people without health care, and so many people losing their health care, and, you know, the candidate who says, I did it in Vermont, I want to do it for the whole country, I think that's opening people's eyes. This is going to be a campaign about issues, and I think Howard Dean's taken a good start on it." Cool. On Tuesday, Ho-Ho got a big splash in USA Today as the presidential candidate with the most visits to the five "key states" of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, New York and California. Dean, reported USA Today, "is becoming a familiar overnight guest at homes across Iowa and New Hampshire." "It's more fun" than hotels, said Ho-Ho. "To stay up yakking with somebody until a ridiculous hour when you have to get up at 5 in the morning, that's something I like." This week Dr. Dean is once again making the rounds in his newly adopted state of Iowa and sleeping with strangers. Radio Ratings — The latest Arbitron radio ratings are out. The "Spring Sweeps" covered the period from March 28 through June 19. The envelope please! No surprises, folks. The country music sound of W O K O continues to rule the local airwaves with almost 20 percent of the overall audience. 95 Triple X is a distant second with a 9.3 average quarter-hour share, followed by

WEZF at 7.4. A total of 23 stations are included. Detailed audience breakdowns by age and gender provide the local radio advertising sales corps with angles to play. For example, what do most young men in the 18-34 age group tune in when they get up in the morning? Would you believe Howard Stern? WIZN's morning drive time exception to its classic rock format wins first place with the boyos with a 17.5 share. W O K O and The Buzz tie for second with 15-5 shares. No surprise that women of the same age aren't quite as enamored with Howard's tits-and-assfor-breakfast dialogue. Instead, local females ages 18-34 flock to Triple X 95, which gets a 22.6 share, followed by W O K O s 14.3 share. W E Z £ was the third favorite with the girls in the morning. Macho men, you ask? For local males between 25 and the time one signs up for an AARP card at 50, W O K O country is once more top choice in the morning. CK and Wild Bill drew a 17.9 share of the mature macho males. WIZN's Howard Stern came in second with a 13.3 share. And third place went to the distinguished former W I Z N morning team of Corm & the Coach, who got a 10.7 share at Clear Channel's WCPV.

Congratulations! More TV News — Its been six years since local T V news expanded to mornings, and W P T Z is about to go a step further. Ch. 5 news director Andy Wormser told Seven Days his station will add a half-hour 5 p.m. newscast starting September 16. Anchors, he said, will be Stephanie Gorin and Erin Conners. Stephanie will continue co-anchoring the 6 o'clock news with Thorn Hallock. "We think the market is ready for a 5 o'clock news," said Wormser. Apparently, he's the only one who does at the moment. Peter Martin, general manager at Ch. 3, told Seven Days he has "no plans at the moment" to add a 5 o'clock news broadcast. Ch. 22 news director Eric Greene said the idea of doing a 5 o'clock has been discussed, "but it just hasn't happened, for whatever reason." Ch. 5 s Wormser is confident the earlier evening news will draw a following. " I f we build it," he said, "they will come." Meanwhile, Ch. 22 reporter Keith Baldi is moving up the ladder. After three years at WVNY, Keith's landed a job in Grand Rapids, Michigan, at Gannettowned W Z Z M . Keith's just 26. By the time he hits 30, Mr. Baldi will be on one of the national networks. A very talented guy is he.®

Allergies affect millions of people every year. The Champlain Valley may have a higher rate of people suffering from allergies than most other areas. If you have experienced itchy eyes, runny nose, sneezing, hives or itchy skin you may have experienced an allergic reaction. The National Institutes of Health Consensus Conference reported in 1997 that an allergy attack is an immune response. The body's immune system becomes sensitive and reacts to substances called allergens (pollen, dust, animal dander, molds, food, and medications).

Acupuncture & Chinese Herbs a r e a n a t u r a l a l t e r n a t i v e to over-the-counter and prescription drugs. Evidence shows acupuncture and Chinese herbs naturally stimulate the immune system. Acupuncture works specifically to correct imbalances and strengthen the natural immune response. Acupuncture for allergies is effective for children & adults. For more information on how acupuncture can help you, contact the Vermont Center for Acupuncture & Holistic Healing, a not-for-profit organization.

The mandolin, harmonies and mid-tempo flow are something like what Amy Ray and Emily Saliers might create. "Without You Again" is just a good pop-rock song; "When the Roses Run Dry" sounds like something straight off lang's cowgirl epic, Absolute Torch and Twang.

A fine cast of musicians holds At one end of the spectrum is it all together, with instrumenta"IntaLood," by far the funkiest tion for any expression.

RANA, HERE IN THE USA (Bone Saw Records, CD) — Last night as I blearily slurped on a can of Bud, I got involved in a conversation with a friend claiming that innovation in music has become nearly impossible because there are no longer any "holes" to fill. The idea was that once the mainframe of stylistic boundaries had been laid — jazz, rock, funk, etc. — then musicians interested in further advancement had to fill holes between these genre lines. The problem now, my friend continued, was that so many holes have been plugged that the current state of music more resembles a tightly woven mosquito net than, say, the ozone layer. It was quite an interesting little chat, and quite possibly the only way to consider the existence of a band such as Rana. A quartet of Ween-loving rockers hailing from New Jersey, Rana have recently been feeding the jam community with their take on flaky, '80s-infused pop. Too fond of guitar wankery for the straightahead rock world, yet seen as "edgy" and "hard" by crunchier types, Rana have been adopted by some as the jammers that can lead the way to a higher level of groovedominance. Influenced as much by the Velvet Underground and Talking Heads as by the Dead and Phish, the band attempts to forge a new sound by incorporating elements of both stylistic branches. The problem is, Rana sound

Rana seem unable to find a musical hole into which they can thrust their odd, awkward concoction, and so end up sounding outof-touch and dated even though

more like a group of burned-out veterans doing wasted Flock of Seagulls covers than, say, a jam-god version of Television. While the guitar lines snap and the grooves are tight, the band sounds more tired and uninspired than on the verge of some musical evolution. From the start, Here in the USA lacks either rock intensity or jam blissfulness, yet the second half improves. Actually, if you play the tracks in reverse order, the disc becomes mildly listenable. "It's So Hard (Believe Me)," the album closer, is a 10-minute, feedbackdrenched prog tune that dissolves into a final minute of perfect British pop. "Carbombed Again" is a catchy, countrified drinkin' tune, even if it sounds like a half-assed stab at copying Ween's 12 Golden Country Greats. The bulk of this disc dissolves into a morass of instrumental and lyrical banality. The rhythm section is tight, the tunes pulse with the aforementioned '80s pop bounce, yet the retro-groove trick grows old very quickly. Each tune on the disc sounds like a less passionate version of the next one. "My One Dear Son" and "Not So Mopso" are forgettable at best, and even the Casio-led, white-boy humor-funk jaunt of "Ghetto Queen" seems painfully forced.

" D e e r f i e l d Tumult," by David Brewster

B Y M A R C AWODEY

new exhibit at the T.W. Wood Gallery is going with the flow. "The American River" includes 50 works by 50 artists from around the country. In his introduction for the catalog, poet Robert Hass provides a cultural context for the juried show, citing early American painter George Caleb Bingham's paintings of the wide Missouri, The Luminists of the Hudson River School and literary figures including Henry Thoreau, Mark Twain, Ernest Hemingway and Toni Morrison. Many of the works at the Wood are worthy successors in this tradition. The pieces present a range of views from urban to rural, abstract to representational, and monumental to introspective. The muted grays of "Connecticut River, Morning Mist," by Brattleboro artist Ray Ruseckas, capture a quiet moment of light and shadow as they might appear just before sunrise. It is a large-scale pastel, 27-by-39 inches, simply composed with two horizontal bands of darkness separated by a short horizon line at the middle. It is an intimate, rather than expansive, space — as are many of the river views.

ed landscapes. Wlodzimierz Ksiazek's "Untitled (Blue)" is a heavily textured Abstract Expressionist statement with no specific references to the natural world. The 5-by-6-foot oil is a monochromatic Prussian Blue in a very light value. The outlines of objects that have been pressed onto the paint and removed — such as footprints on the muddy bank of a river — remain on the surface. "Most Likely (If It Pleases the Captain)," by Doug Trump of Kingston, New York, is a mixedmedia on silkscreen that also has no referential elements. Trump's piece, 46-by-46 inches, combines sparse calligraphic pencil lines interacting with geometric elements. Most of the picture plane is whiteon-white, but there are areas of green and orange at lower right, and along the upper edge of the paper. There are some particularly strong photos in this exhibition. One of these is Paul Taylor's 18-by-22inch "Untitled #18 2001." Taylor has photographed, in black and white, a treed riverbank. Sky, trees and the smooth water reflecting them combine into broad horizontal bands of differing tonality and texture. Technically, the piece is a gelatin silver print from a hand-poured negative. A more contemporary view of a river is supplied by Harry Wilks of New York City. His wide-angle "Dutch Kills at Borden Ave" is a 12F by-20-inch gelatin silver print portraying an urban jungle of concrete, razor wire, a billboard and an overpass crossing a placid city stretch of

Sky, trees and the smooth

water reflecting them combine

Another New York artist, Judith Cotton, has one on the few figurative works in the exhibition. Her 34-by-38-inch encaustic and oil on k paper, entitled "Rower," is a yellowJ^ and-blue portrait of a sculler rendered in a loose and appropriately watery style. The long oars create steeply angled lines that seem to propel tke image forward. The early United States was a vast and thinly populated nation of states sewn together by its waterways. Connections between the works in this exhibition are less tenuous, despite stylistic differences. We have changed over time and we have changed the courses of our rivers, just as the rivers changed America's course in more subtle ways than we can probably ever know. (7)

into broad horizontal bands of differing tonality and texture. Eric Aho's "Reflecting Blue, Meadow's Edge," a 5by-5-foot oil-on-linen painting, is an exception, as it captures a wide vista and tall, cloudy sky. The view is one that might be seen from the top of a mountain or a low-flying plane. A golden field is on the right bank of the unnamed river, which smoothly bends around the meadow. It reflects the cumulus heavens, with a hint of blue peeking through the grays and white. Both Aho and Ruseckas present highly abstractD / ^ , T h i s s o c i a l l y R e s P o N s i b L e i c e c u e t K m i s unN M u f t A L L y Goo<1 \ L e r ' s h U R a y U P This s o w e OKN b e c o M e P ^ r r e a !

.One person wanted the actor to recite his famous lines from Taxi Driver. "No. 'can't," De Niro replied, while giving the guy a distinctly you-talkin'-to-me look. pressing de niro The soundtrack of City by the Sea should have included "My City in Ruins," the Bruce Springsteen song about urban decay in Asbury Park that's since been adopted as a 9/11 anthem for New York. The Jersey Shore community stands in as Long Beach, an equally decrepit town on Long Island that is the theoretical setting for the high-profile movie opening nationwide this weekend. Both Atlantic Ocean resorts

were once prosperous and bustling. A more layered script might have traced the decline of the place to illuminate what's happened to the people, but the story remains simplistic and tediously predictable. Director Michael Caton-Jones uses Long Beach — with its deserted boardwalks and abandoned, graffiti-covered pavilions populated by junkies — as mere backdrop. Veteran Manhattan homicide cop Vincent

La Marca, played by Robert De Niro, grew up there. Now a middle-aged detective, he's haunted by bad karma and a history of bad decisions. His father was executed in 1959 for the kidnapping and accidental death of a baby. When La Marca's marriage to Maggie (Patti Lupone) fell apart, he left behind a son who is almost a stranger to him 14 years later. The kid, Joey (James Franco), disappears after becoming the prime suspect in a deadly drug deal. His remorseful dad must figure out what to do. At the same time, La Marca is sorting out his relationship with Michelle (Frances McDormand), a lover who wants more commitment and more insight into his troubled past. Initially, he's the kind of guy who doesn't share. Otherwise, characters always say precisely what's on their minds, leaving little to the imagination. Mundane dialogue, by screenwriter Ken Hixon, makes such a straightforward approach even duller. The cast is blameless, however. De Niro and McDormand in particular are so talented that viewers may root for them to transcend their clunky lines. After City by the Sea premiered at the Montreal World Film Festival last week, De Niro was 45 minutes late for his own press

conference, which was held at the Desjardins shopping plaza and open to the public. Journalists fumed, but hordes of fans cheered his eventual arrival. He was accompanied by Caton-Jones, who worked with him on This Boy's Life — also about fathers and sons — in 1993. Apparently, few of the assembled reporters had actually seen the movie. So they tossed out inane questions like: "How do you like Montreal?" "How do you like the film festival?" And even, "How do you like this press conference?" One person wanted the actor to recite his famous lines from Taxi Driver. "No. I can't," De Niro replied, while giving the guy a distinctly you-talkin'-to-me look. The funniest query was rather impertinent: "Colleagues of yours, like Clint Eastwood and Michael Douglas, have love interests in their pictures who are practically teenagers. Yours are always the right age. Are you that secure in your sexuality?" De Niro didn't miss a beat in offering a brief reply: "Yeah. I am." That was about as clever as it got. Although an icon, DeNiro's not especially articulate. "Things are slowly coming back to normal," he said, when asked about the mood in New York City after the World Trade Center attack. "It's what happened,

you know. That's it." And that was it. Short takes According to Variety, Stowe-area screenwriter John Fusco has signed "a sevenfigure deal" for a remake of Billy Jack. That 1971 drama follows the adventures of a "half-breed" Vietnam veteran who travels the Arizona desert protecting wild mustangs, Native Americans and an adolescent runaway. Its star, Tom Laughlin, wrote and directed the original. He'll be an executive producer for the version by Fusco, who also penned the upcoming Hidalgo, featuring Fellowship of the Rings hunk Viggo Mortensen . . . Vermont filmmaker Nora Jacobson spent the summer editing her work-in-progress, Nothing Like Dreaming, from 60 hours of footage down to almost four. She now must cut that by half to qualify for theatrical distribution. Meanwhile, the Norwich writer-director has put out a casting call for extras to perform in a nightclub scene that might be used during closing credits. The shoot will take place at the Middle Earth Music Hall in downtown Bradford from 2 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, September 7. E-mail info@offthegridpro ductions.com for details. (7)

THE PUZZLE • As you can

guess from her name, Fickle Fannie is hard to predict. Her likes and dislikes change from one week to the next. This• week, as always, the things she likes allfollow a secret rule. Can you figure out what it is? (Keep in mind that Fickle Fannie likes words. But each week she likes something different about them—how they're spelled, how they sound, how they look, what they mean or what's inside them.)

When on the road, Fannie pauses at OVERLOOKS but avoids REST AREAS. Rather than ACCEPT sycophantic flattery, she REJECTS it as insincere.

f WELL I NEVER BEEN TO SPAIN... j* J BUT IKINDA LIKE THE HARDWARE

Fannie would rather date a PERVERT than an AXE MURDERER. An ENTRANCE she finds exciting, but an EXIT makes her sad. The churning OCEAN is less intriguing than the serenely mysterious DESERT. Some people use the word CLOVERLEAF, but she prefers INTERCHANGE. Fannie would gladly judge a mud-wrestling CONTEST but not a tennis MATCH. She keeps MAGAZINES on a shelf but lets her puppy squat on NEWSPAPERS. She'll ignore an UPSCALE boutique but drive 10 miles to a DISCOUNT store.

Fannie would rather EXTRACT her ex's teeth than BREAK his nose.

QUALITY HARDWARE FROM MADRID!

Difficulty rating for this puzzle: EASY. If you're stuck, see the upside-down HINT on this page. If you cave, see the ANSWER on page 47a. So much for Fickle Fannies tastes this week. Next week shell have a whole new set of likes and dislikes. •JU3S3Jd * > a j » d

Like a pointless Marilyn M a n s o n video r u n a m o k , William Malone's cyber-thriller easily qualifies as the feel-bad film of the summer. N o t to m e n t i o n the oddest example of c o u n t e r p r o g r a m ming. W i t h so m a n y comedies and action films in theaters, executives at Warner Brothers apparently felt the voyeur sadist market was going u n t a p p e d and decided to capitalize o n the oversight.

countries; this prestigious position is held by their "fascist" dictator leaders. If Mr. Kurth wants to know who's committing the real "murder" in Iraq, maybe he should talk to some Kurdish refugees. And no, buying their oil doesn't qualify us as "oppressors," either; it delivers billions of U.S. dollars to their economy, only to be hoarded by the elite 5 percent of the ruling class. Good arguments are easily discredited by extremist statements. I share in Mr. Kurth's con cern over our current president's offensive posturing with complete disregard of international or Congressional opinion, but I'm not sure the "wrongs" of our government quite make a "Reich."

BEAUTY IS BEAUTY Peter Kurth ["Crank Call," August 28] notes the 100th birthday of Nazi filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl and asks if there is any difference between her Nazi propaganda films and "a McDonalds commercial that shows a lot of firemen, policemen and Bush's 'real Americans' swooning at parades and genuflecting to the flag before wolfing down their burgers?" Yes, there is a huge difference, and W.H Auden explained it in his poem, "In Memory of W.B. Yeats." Riefenstahl's Triumph of the Will, celebrating the 1934 Nuremberg Nazi Party rally, is one of the greatest films ever made, up there with (or surpassing) Casablanca, Dr. Strangelove or anybody's most highly regarded cinematic work. That a film made in the service of a vile regime should be so compelling has troubled all nonNazis who have seen it. Auden's poem references a French fascist offensive and anti-humanistic views, and notes that "Time... will pardon Paul Claudel, [and pardon] him for writing well." And so with Leni Riefenstahl. Like it or not, her Triumph of the Will is high cinematic art and will survive as such, while a TV "patriotic" commercial is just commercial junk. Beauty is beauty. Satan's beauty is as beautiful as God's. — Norrie Hoyt Norwich

Dear Cecil, You haven't had a really odd column in a while — how about an overview of trepanning,? Who are some of the people availing themselves of this "earliest known surgery"and why are they allowed to run around loose (if in fact they are)? KIDS, DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME! — hraka Sound advice for troubled times, bub. Trepanning, also known as trephination, is the art of boring a hole in the skull for medical, mystical or, God help us, recreational purposes. Practiced since the Stone Age (hence the "oldest known surgery" sobriquet), trepanning was common well into the 19th century, and a few iconoclasts are attempting to revive it today. One thinks with a shudder: Could this be the next goth fad? Archaeological evidence of trepanning has turned up all over the world, in the form of skulls with holes bored into them up to two inches in diameter. Amazingly, say researchers, judging from signs of bone growth and the like, perhaps two-thirds of the patients survived. Maybe ancient trepannists were trying to relieve intracranial pressure due to disease, trauma, etc., in the manner of modern surgeons. Or maybe they just wanted to release the evil spirits. Nobody really knows. Trepanning enjoyed a vogue centuries ago as a treatment for insanity, headaches and other complaints. This was back in the era of leeching, mercury cures and so on, when the line between health-care provider and murderer was less clear than it is now. The tools of the trade (see www.brace face.com/medical/Trepanning, htm) consisted of (1) a sharp knife so you could slice the skin of the skull and pull back the flaps, (2) a corkscrewlike borer with a wicked-looking bit, and (3) files, brushes and whatnot so you could dress up the job when done. In the old days, trepanation was strictly a manual operation and took a long time. Today, with the advent of the electric drill (you think I'm joking?), an ama-

teur can do it in an afternoon. There are those who say trepanation has much to offer the modern world. You're saying: Come on, these people are psychos. I'm not arguing with you. However, being a psycho can take you a long way these days. Searching on trepanation in Google we come up with 6120 hits. There's even a Web site sponsored by the International Trepanation Advocacy Group. OK, there's a Web site for everything. But skull boring has also been featured on network television, written up in the Washington Post (www.washingtonpost. com/wp-srv/style/ features/trepan, htm) and the online journal Salon (www.salon.com/health/feature/1999/04/29/trepanation/prin t.html), even solemnly discussed at academic conferences ("International Colloquium on Cranial Trepanation in Human History," University of Birmingham, April 7-9, 2000). Perhaps I'm overstating the case here, but if you ask me, trepanation is hot. I still don't think it's a good idea. You could, like, die, you know? Or get meningitis or suffer an accidental lobotomy. Some people who get trepanned, one has the feeling, didn't have a lot of spare gray matter to start with. A woman on the ITAG site says of her trepanned husband, "He does not appear to be so confused when more than one thing comes

at him at once anymore." Listen, lady, one wants to have an open mind, as it were. But — you can see where I'm going with this — the average person needs trepanation like he needs a hole in the head. The leading theorist of modern trepanation is Bart Huges, a Dutch research librarian who came up with a concept called "brainbloodvolume." Huges' idea is that when we're babies our skulls are soft (ever watch a newborn's forehead throb?), allowing our brains room to breathe and grow. But as we age our brains get locked in the old skullcase. Trepanation gives us back that lost freedom. Joe Mellen, an associate of Huges', put the matter more succinctly in a book called Bore Hole: "This is the story of how I came to drill a hole in my skull to get permanently high." Is trepanation the next big thing? Some indication may be gleaned from the career of Amanda Feilding of the U.K., who in 1970 bored a hole in her skull with a dental drill after trying for four years to get a surgeon to do it. Feilding twice stood for Parliament on a pro-trepanation platform (she wanted it to be offered free by the National Health Service). The first time she got 49 votes, the second time 139. Sure, that's not many. But I don't like the trend. — CECIL ADAMS

Its not clear whether the first anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon will provide collective closure to this year of mourning or morph into yet another legal holiday. But while patriotic capitalists cash in with commemorative T-shirts and fair ; carnies pin up paper targets of Osama bin Laden, local organizers are providing a full schedule of events designed to console, educate and inspire. Look for not one but two riderless horses in Burlington — one in the morning and another at dusk. In other activities, - artists, experts and ordinary citizens express their opinions; nondenominational gatherings light candles and offer prayers; color guards march and peaceniks hang prayer flags; participants read names, plant trees and dedicate memorials; and folks who might otherwise be going about their normal business pause to observe precisely timed moments of silence.

See the calendar for a special listing of some of the scheduled events.

global positioning Though it won't hit the shelves until later this month, Thomas Friedman's new book has already earned him a fourth Pulitzer Prize. Culled from his award-winning foreign affairs columns in The New York Times, Longitudes and Attitudes: Exploring the World After September 11 "captures and preserves the raw, unpolished, emotional and analytical responses" to the terrorist attacks, he writes. A regular on "Meet the Press" and "The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer," Friedman helps St. Michael's and Champlain colleges launch the first annual Vermont Global Symposium, which aims to keep the dialogue flowing throughout the year.

With his Montreal-based Rubberbandance Group, Quijada strives to "create a new language," he says, employing soundscapes ranging from Medeski Martin &: Wood to Dave Brubeck and Rachmaninov. "We're trying to invent, experiment and explore," he explains "and not do whats beendone before." Rubberbandance Group. Saturday, September 7. FlynnSpace, Burlington, 8 p.m. $ 8 - 1 2 .

scene@SP!EL PAIAST OA THE SPACE, BURLINGTON, A U G U S T 3 0 , 7 : 3 0 P.M.

Though a risque burlesque show was brewing inside, the action was taking place outside The Space on Friday. At 7 p.m. — a half-hour before the scheduled show time — a small, excited crowd had already gathered on the pebble-stoned driveway. By 8, the low buzz of pretheater chatter had grown to a cacophony of not particularly demure demands that the doors be opened. Apparently an electrician was inside fixing some faulty lights. At least, that's what we heard from the ticket taker — a man in bright red lipstick with long talons lacquered to match — and the mistress of ceremonies, in a lace bustier and smoking an unlit cigarette, when they alternately emerged from the locked entrance to quell the crowd's rising impatience. Since vaudeville and cabaret were the order of the night, a man in the line put on an impromptu magic show for five appreciative college girls, one of whom suggested that he should be in the show. A rendition of Edelweiss erupted from one section of the line, inspiring a couple at the other end to slow-dance in the soft glow of the streetlights. Finally, the door swung open. With a string of black bras hanging from the banisters — courtesy of Battery Street Jeans downstairs — and an abundance of corsets and fishnets adorning the cast members, the pomp and ceremony began. A live band played some jazzy tunes while incomers searched for available seats. Cigar girls with Clara Bow bee-stung lips and Veronica Lake hairdos sat on random laps and offered swigs of liquor. A titty toss, mad magician and contortion act later, it was time to return to the crisp night air of downtown, where life might not have been a cabaret, but everybody had kept their clothes on. — Dominique Herman

SEVEN DAYS

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): You missed the annual Summer Redneck Games this year, but its an excellent time to begin prepping for 2003. Held every July in East Dublin, Georgia, this alternative Olympics features events like the watermelonseed spitting contest, bobbing for pigs' feet, the bug-zapper spitball competition, the armpit serenade and the mud-pit belly flop. While it's true you may not have had a chance t o develop an aptitude in these areas before, your talent could grow exponentially in the c o m i n g months. W i t h the expansive planet Jupiter in your astrological House of H o g Heaven, you will excel at activities that involve losing your dignity for the sake of having goofy fun; you will thrive whenever you shed your selfimportance in order t o explore d o w n to-earth pleasures.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): I have cast a judicious and discerning love spell that will be triggered in the heart of anyone w h o reads the following mantra: blisssavvy. Ha! You read it! Soon you'll be in the grip of a sizzling yet moist vortex of tender devotion. You'll be moved to c o m m i t sagacious acts of lust and thoughtful outbreaks of horny compassion. Don't even worry for a minute that the spell will lead you to do impulsive things you'll regret later, Taurus. In formulating it, I made sure it'll inspire behavior that is in s t r i a accordance with your highest ideals and best intentions.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): As global warming continues apace, glaciers and ice fields f r o m Alaska to Central Asia are melting. Scientists are excited about gathering all the ancient artifacts and fossils that are being exposed by the thaw. I see an analogous process going on in your own life, Gemini. A deep freeze is losing its grip on parts of your past. Repressed memories are, as a result, becoming accessible again. Stories f r o m long ago

a ^ n l n a v i ,

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Its a favorable time to moonlight for a few days as a cashier at the drive-in window of Jack in the Box or Taco Bell. Doing so would dramatically boost your levels of empathy for people w h o aren't as fortunate as you, which is exactly what the astrological omens suggest. Your part-time gig selling junk food to regular folks would also increase your humility, which would diminish your false pride and boost your souls confidence. Finally, wearing a grimy white uniform while immersed in greasy air for a short time would make you feel tremendously grateful about the blessings in your life you take for granted. This, again, is one of the gods' primary prescriptions for you right now. L E O

(July 23-Aug. 22): " T h e

strong, independent part of m e resisted the embarrassing truth for a long time," my Leo friend Lannie told me, "but I finally came to accept that I'm someone who craves overwhelmingly vast amounts of love. Ever since I totally surrendered to this need, it doesn't nag m e all the time, like it used to. In fact, it feels kind of comforting, like a source of sweetness that never goes away. I never thought I'd say this, but I've come to treasure the feeling of having a voracious yearning for love." I've quoted Lannies testimony at length, Leo, because it's prime time for you to master the skill she now owns.

all your clothes. (Though I'm not opposed to you doing that). W h a t I mostly mean is: Strip away your defense mechanisms; dismantle the armor around your heart; slip off your boxing gloves before making love; remove the shoes that don't belong to you — you know, the ones you were going to walk a mile in but have ended up wearing for a million miles; shed knee pads you put on so as to kiss anyone's butt; dispose of the chastity belt; get rid of the aluminum foil hat you donned to protect you from telepathic mind-control experiments; take off the blinders that are diminishing your eyesight, as well as the rose-colored glasses, for that matter.

squadron of psychotherapists and masseuses to soothe you during the challenges you'll face as you assemble your masterpiece.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): More than any other sign of the zodiac, you Centaurs have

rules at critical junctures. T h e Betweener values the rewards that the system offers but refuses to be crushed by its compromises. T h e Beyonder, on the other hand, operates completely outside the parameters. She's i m m u n e to the seductions of the inner circle;* her magic comes from tinkering in the frontiers. T h e Beyonder is driven by her signature dreams, not by success as

the potential to help people laugh at themselves. Yet this sublime skill is never mentioned as a Sagittarian spe-

defined by others. She's excited by the prospect of finding keys and signs and

cialty in the astrological textbooks.

treasures that are invisible to those w h o live in the thick of the system.

Indeed, it's rarely even recognized as a valuable asset by the experts w h o describe what constitutes a stellar h u m a n being. I, on the other hand, put it at the top of m y list of desirable traits. In m y view, inducing people to take themselves less seriously is one of the most sacred and healing gifts you

myself to be a quiet guy who never could really grasp the whole "meat market" straiesy oft meeting women downtown. I would rather have a good
