RIGHT-WING RADIO Am greatly amused by the match of missives between your frequent writer Ron Powers and his detractors Jim Condon and Louie Manno of WKDR-AM radio. Even though it's two against one, let me say I find Powers to be insightful, honest and amusing in his criticism of the vacuity and general viciousness of what is heard on commercial radio these days. I find Jim and Louie to be merely amusing.

I have also observed the negative qualities in modern radio as practiced by WKDR et al. as observed by Powers. Certain values seem to be portrayed by the usual "pond-scum gang" that seems to dominate at st ,WKDR, where America's "doctor of democracy," Rush Limbaugh, and family advisor Dr. Laura freely dispense with their prescriptions of, respectively, neofacism and sadomasochism. Of late, the values usually heard on radio are stringently right -wing business values, even on WKDR's apparently fair Mark Johnson show, where I had the misfortune of spending hours of my time trying to call and balance the overwhelming onslaught coming from those frequent callers (the "pond-scummers" as defined by Peter Freyne) with their anti-liberal agendas. The usually genial Mark Johnson felt uncomfortable with my pro-Bernie, proleft -wing Democrat pronouncements, and often other call-ins slammed my invasion of their turf, a

decidedly conservative realm. Yes, the guests on WKDR are often liberal and even left-wing (Bernie, for example), but frequent caveats are given to make sure that the core audience of right-wingers doesn't abandon WKDR for some other reactionary radio station, of which there are plenty. My example: I called WKDR and mentioned what a good reporting job Seven Days reporter Kevin Kelley had done showing what kind of person the Wal-Mart developer, John Davis, is, and I was immediately cut off. Then later, I pointed out the alcoholbased hypocrisy of a certain local businessman...who publicly trashed all the kids on Church Street as a drug-using rabble. I merely said that I'd seen that businessman drunk once or twice. For that innocuous statement I was indefinitely banned from calling into the WKDR talk show. (I later heard it was a three-week ban.) And yet, the right-wingers...can call in any day and verbally abuse anyone who doesn't have the money to make frivolous lawsuits. For example, the Teamsters were accused of making bomb threats (no question), and Ben & Jerry's is accused of money-laundering for the Democrats (again, no question.) Perhaps it is guilt that motivates Jim and Louie to invade Ron Powers' turf and attempt to degrade him. I think they know they've sold damaged goods (Dr. Laura takes the cake) and are feeling defensive. As for me, I'm for both more funding for Public Radio and for a return of the Fairness Doctrine that was extinguished back in the '80s, without which we've seen the current domination of a reactionary and fascistic radio regime. I will occasionally stop in on my dial at WKDR, at least in the weekday morning local shows, which are actually somewhat informative (9-11 a.m.), and the funny hometown boys, Louie and Jim (7-9 a.m.). But I don't take them seriously. Unfortunately, the syndicated shows that are their bread and butter are embarrassing to what otherwise could be witty local fare. How about giving Mr. Powers a slot and cancelling the Dr. Laura crap?

Our Turkeys Don't do Drugs!

Gram Parsons has become something of a cult figure in the music business. He never hit it big, and few outside a small circle remember him now. But people who ought to know say he was one of the pioneers behind the country-rock phenomenon of the late '60s and early 70s. For a short time he was a member of The Byrds, and he was the creative force behind their 1968 country album, Sweetheart of the Rodeo, which many consider a classic. He went on to form The Flying Burrito Brothers and later invited then-unknown Emmylou Harris out to LA. to sing on his solo album, GP( 1973), helping to launch her career. He hung out with The Rolling Stones (his influence can be heard on several cuts from Exile on Main Street) and had a big impact on Elvis Costello, Linda Ronstadt, Tom Petty and The Eagles, Remember New Riders of the Purple Sage and Pure Prairie League? They owed a lot to Parsons. He's received many posthumous honors and musical tributes; Emmylou Harris is working on a tribute album now, 24 years after his death. Best of all, he was born Ingram Cecil Connor III (Parsons came from his stepfather), and you gotta love a guy with a name like that. Parsons wasn't a suicide; but he killed with charm and cash (his mothers family had made a pile in the citrus business), he got into booze and drugs early. In September 1973 he finished recording an album and went with some friends to an inn at Joshua Tree National Monument, one of his iavorite places, ,The group spent much of the day by the pool getting tanked. By evening Gram looked like hell and went to his room to sleep. Later, on their way out for some food, his friends were unable to rouse him, so they left, returning a little before midnight. By that time Parsons was pretty far gone. Taken to a hospital, he was pronounced dead shortly after

iBASHFUL NO LONGER | Hallelujah! Bashful Jack McMullen finally | returned our calls last Wednesday. "Lets get | together for a beer?" said the deep, slow-moving § voice of the mystery man from Massachusetts. Hate to drink on duty, so we rendezvous-ed I at Leunig's for coffee. Actually, Jack ordered | herbal tea. | What roused him from his cocoon was last I week's report in Inside Track about questions concerning S Bashful Jack's application to be f o n the Burlington voter check| list. Inside Track reported that jjack had indicated on his appli„ cation he had formerly been reg® istered to vote in Warren, I Vermont. But according to the | Warren Town Clerk (the town | where Jack's had shared a vaca tion home for 15 years), there was no such person on the i town's checklist. Bashful Jack straightened | that out by calling the town | clerk and reminding her he had filled out an application in June. • Apparently in Warren they don't i bother to update the checklist | until election time. The Warren | clerk had neglected to check the I application file when the calls started coming in from Burlap 1 about Bashful Jack's voting sta| tus. Following Jack's call, all that | was straightened out and Mr. I McMullen, formerly of

their fundraising. And if the only thing the Vermont G O P can come up with is a Man from Mars, then so be it. • „ _| Beam him up, Scotty! McMullen for Senate! | Let the games begin! Dems Applaud G O P Choice — Vermont Democrats are delighted GOP state chairman Dan Hillard won re-election Saturday. Hillard benefited from a rift between Allen Martin, the leader of Chittenden County's silk-stocking Republicans, and former everything Patrick Garahan. A few months ago, Garahan stepped aside fo let Prince A1 become national committeeman, and he expected his lordship would back him in the chairman's race. Instead, Prince Al backed Bill Meub of Rutland. So Garahan jumped into the race at the last minute and split the anti-Hillard vote. Hillard benefited from the bad blood. Prince Al tells Inside Track, "It's one of those events it's possible to overanalyze." Really? Analyze this: Now the Vermont GOP has a chairman whose legal problems may well dog him and the party into election season. Mob Rule in Stowe — That's how the Stowe Reporter described the hooliganism that erupted on Halloween. According to Police Chief Ken Kaplan, "At times there were groups of kids in excess of 100 charging the officers, throwing dozens of eggs. As the officers took the posture of retreating, the kids assembled and walked through the village shouting at the top of their lungs, 'Fuck the Pigs!'"

® Cambridge, Massachusetts, is now a bona fide * registered voter in Vermont's largest city. I Welcome to the land of Ethan Allen, sir. | Bashful Jack walked into Leunig's with the | look of a man who easily gets lost in the crowd. Polite. Reserved. He speaks so slowly and in I such low tones that one must strain to hear 1 him. Let's face it — this lost soul from 1 Massachusetts, who is aiming to challenge U.S. | Sen. Patrick J. Leahy in '98, might as well be the Man from Mars. He says he's a product of the I "Ameritocracy." Says he grew up on Long i Island, graduated from Columbia, and then put | in five years as a Navy lieutenant working under | Admiral Rickover — the father of nuclear m power. He says he was an unpaid advisor to for1 mer U.S. Sen. Bill "Basketball" Bradley. Says 1 he was offered the top staff job by Bradley back | in 1993 but turned it down. Says he is a mil| lionaire, but only a "single-digit" millionaire. | Says "the way to engage the debate would be on g the concept level." Jack says he's come up to Vermont about i eight weekends a year over the past 15 years. | And guess what? He likes Vermont! "It's a beau| tiful state and it's escaped the excesses of the 20th century. It has a lot going for it, and one I thing I noticed, it needs some help with the 1 economic framework under which it operates. | This should be a natural place for high-tech |companies or financial services companies." Like maybe he should be running for governor? Says he hears that all the time, but his goal is * to "redefine" the role of a United States Senator. We're so lucky. (Remember how Althea | Kroger wanted to redefine the role of assistant | judge? By the way, anybody seen Althea lately?) Right now Team Leahy is wishing and hopI ing this Man from Mars actually goes through iwith it and jumps into the race. Fact is, there's | nobody else on the horizon to put on the G O P | colors. Leahy's got a lock on the job. It'd take a | landmine to knock him out. More like 100 _ landmines.

The cops were "covered from head to toe with egg." Next year the chief promises arrests will be made. The challenge now is for the Stowe school board to figure out how to blame the unruly, rebellious mob of gold-town kidlets I on Act 60. S Good luck. Jurorgate Update — The "evidentiary hearing" g that Judge William K. Sessions III will conduct g in the Billy Greer et al case has been pushed ® back until December 18. That's when Judge Billy will question the 12 members of the jury j one by one. If he finds jury contamination, he'll | order a new trial and Billy the Kid will be home « with the family for Christmas. Salmon Run? — No word on whether or not 1 the ex-UVM president, ex-Governor and cur| rent chairman of the board at Green Mountain | Power is planning to challenge Bernie Sanders | in '98, but the Big Fish did move one step closer this week as Judge Amy Davenport approved 1 a motion for dismissal of his divorce proceed- § ings.

vents have conspired to keep me indoors for most of the last two weeks, edgily awaiting a move from one apartment to another. There is nothing more tedious than a holding pattern, which is what my partner and I have been in while we wait to sign the new lease. We've had a perfect opportunity to take stock of our lives, plan for the future, set goals, design rooms and so forth. Instead, we've been watching television. Hours and hours of television. Whole days and nights with nothing on but the television. I've seen more television in the last two weeks than I normally do in a year. I'm not a TV snob, either. I'd just lost the habit, until recently, of consulting the box on a regular basis. I've thus been allowed to form my own opinions and rush to my own judgments without reference to the national psyche, which on the evidence these days is little more than a mass of paranoia. I use the word "paranoia" in the exact sense: "A rare chronic psychosis characterized by systematized delusions of persecution or of grandeur, usually not associated with hallucinations." The last part's important — the images on television are all too "real." Anyone watching the thing for more than five minutes, or who comes to it cold from an extended break, can only conclude that the world is a dangerous, violent, malevolent place, with the particular mission of causing you, personally, a great deal of trouble.

Nino is out to get you. Your breath is out to get you. Your yeast infections. "Acid reflux disease." Your weight. Your skin. Your boss. Not alarmed enough? The Antichrist is coming. You're driving the wrong car. You're using the wrong shampoo. Your marriage is in trouble. Your kids are on drugs. And when these ideas aren't being planted direcdy in your mind, they're being discussed, "commented" on, analyzed, broken up into charts, trends and pieces of pie and regurgitated by a swarm of plastic "personalities" whose job it is to keep you wondering, and worrying, from now until the next calamity. In the TV culture, nothing is permitted to distract your attention from the heavy problems that face you. Even the so-called good news, and those heartwarming "family" dramas that lately have taken to pointing heavenward for their inspiration — "Touched By an Angel," "Nothing Sacred" — all start with the premise that the world is a bad, bad place, and that good people like yourselves will be lucky to come through it alive. Idiotic, right? Because you're not going to come through it alive, but you're not going to find anything to help you out on television, either. Listening to Suzanne Somers talk about her buttocks and her alcoholic parents is not going to get you new buttocks or new parents. Knowing that Saddam Hussein is a maniac won't keep you safe from bombs at the mall. One more victim of the "Preppie Rapist" spilling her story to Diane Sawyer is not going to stop rape, or decrease it, or alleviate the effect it has on its victims. Its only going to fill your head with graphic images, completely out of context, and make Diane a little bit richer. No other purpose is served. Take as an example my favorite demon story of the hour — the case of Nushawn Williams, the New York con man and crack addict who allegedly infected a minimum of nine young

here's nothing too mysteri-, ous about Archer Mayor. Wittily self-deprecating and forthright, he comes across as an educated but not academic history buff, a man who loves to talk but listens well, and who trots out his own family skeletons as blithely as the collection of exotic knives collecting dust in his study. He's disarmingly affable, and maintains a nononsense assessment of himself. "I love hats," Mayor will reveal, donning a favorite fedora, "but I look like a dork in all of them." The potential pretensions and gentility of the writer's life elude him: He's an E M T on the local rescue squad and capable of wresting strangers from all sorts of disasters. Like many a self-sufficient Yankee, he's a do-it-yourself builder, and is slowly adding on, Vermont-style, to the rambling, cluttered home he shares with his wife Ponnie, two children and two cats in Newfane. And in this nothing-ever-happens-here picturesque village, nestled between a forest and a babbling brook, Archer Mayor conjures up crime. Crime novels, that is, at the rate of one a year for the past eight. For a man who seems like he wouldn't hurt a fly, Mayor prolifically kills off bad guys and tortures the good ones with unpredictable challenges on the road to imperfect human victories. Bellows Falls — named for and set in the town just up the road from his ^^

someone who's never set foot in the state. One of Mayor's literary talents is finding a structural or architectural means of enhancing suspense and lending sinister qualities to the familiar. It's a keenly effective device: In an early chase scene which launches the action, Gunther and his colleagues must navigate a hellish, subterranean labyrinth of tun-

redemption and hope, or what happens to people who have none. In Lt. Joe Gunther Mayor has crafted a modern Everyman hero who shares a bit of the crusty, stubborn image with hardboiled fictional detectives like Philip Marlowe, but in no way resembles Hollywood's gun-toting glamour guys. He succeeds, but not flawlessly. Gunther is mid-fiftyish, past his prime physically, gets grumpy, has self-doubts,

Tm bored by the endless movies about crooked and/or stupid cops. It's ridiculous. I decided quietly to rebel against that, not by deifying cops but depicting them as working stiffs." — is Mayor's latest in the Joe Gunther series. This time his introspective protagonist, a detective in the Brattleboro Police Department, sniffs out a Vermont drug ring while investigating a sexual harassment suit against a Bellows Falls cop. Gunther untangles the threads of his clues from Brattleboro all the way to Burlington. As always the settings are especially intriguing for Vermont readers, though they're described well enough for

mystery is really Bellows Falls itself, a former mill town which teeters between spiritual desolation and surges of civic resolution to uplift itself. It is Mayor's fascination with history — and well-researched sense of place — that grounds his fiction in realism. "Bellows Falls is a hardluck town and you can't paint it otherwise," states the author. "The Interstate did Brattleboro a world of good, but Bellows

nels underneath the Brattleboro Retreat; later, the pursuit becomes perilously aerial on the catwalk at the Flynn Theatre; and of course, the bridge over the rushing water that gave Bellows Falls its name is the scene for.. .well, you'll have to read it. Also as usual, Mayor weaves together his characters' lives via the greater forces that pull on them, namely economic, physical and psychological oppression of varying kinds. An overriding character in this newest

Falls has always managed to miss the ring when it came its turn to grab for it. But I credit them for keeping it on the map." Some townsfolk were initially disgruntled by Mayor's blunt portrayal of their down-trodden burg, where natural beauty is a thin veneer over economic misfortune and its subsequent social ills. "I spent lots of time riding along with the police and found out just how tough it is," Mayor says. But in the end most came to understand the book for what he claims it is: a tale of redemption and hope. Appropriately, Bellows Falls honored Mayor with the eponymous book's first comingout party last Friday. n some ways, all detective novels may be about

and is only beginning to let his girlfriend steer his Velveeta tastes toward healthier fare. Though Gail Zigman, Gunther's long-time love, plays a minimal role in Belbws Falls, she has been fully developed earlier in the series (her rape ^

A and recovery is the story in Fruits of the Poisonous Tree). She's an anomaly for the genre: a warm, intelligent, complex woman with a legal career of her own. "Gail is strong because I don't see the point in pretending men and women are 4000 miles apart," Mayor says. In fact, Gunther's second-

in-command cop is a toughcookie female, too. But not to make too fine a point of it; Mayors books are not feminist any more than they are antifeminist. They simply allow women and men to be fully drawn, believable, vulnerable characters. And Gunther's thoughtfulness about all of them — and himself — is what makes him so appealing. He grapples not just with criminals but with the point of life. O n e thing Mayor's adamant about, though: Cops are human and heroic. "I don't wave the police flag — my reaction is coming from the other side," he says. "I'm bored by the endless movies about crooked and/or stupid cops. It's ridiculous. I decided quietly to rebel against that, not by deifying cops but depicting them as working stiffs." Mayor has only gone on four "ride-alongs" with cops since he began his fiction-writing career, but he's gotten to know many of them. A former Brattleboro police chief, now deceased, was a close friend. He was even offered a job as a policeman, but turned it down. "It would crimp my style," he says. Though people in the area try to find parallels between Mayor's characters and real-life ones, the author insists his are strictly fictional. "I will not allow real people to inhabit my characters," he asserts. "That's my clay" " L And how much of Archer Mayor is in Joe Gunther? "Some but not all," the author hedges. "I'd like to think Joe Gunther and I would be good friends." Mayor reveals another trick of his trade: not to describe his "clay" too closely. "You present a character but don't color him or her in," he says. "The reader can then conspire with the writer to develop him or her...It's important to trust the reader," he adds, "to credit their ability to imagine." Mayor's cop friends find his characters, and his stories, believable, he says. He always has a policeman proofread his manuscripts just to make sure. But he doesn't look to other crime writers for inspiration. "The last thing I want to do at the end of the day is curl up with a mystery," he says. He doesn't even read his own books once they're done. "I've got another one to write," Mayor says. "I'm always more interested in what's ahead, not what's behind." An ironic statement from a history major. While his college roommates went off to become lawyers many years back, Archer Mayor "wandered around looking for interesting things to learn," he says. His wanderings led him to become, Continued

BABES IN TOYLAND You just never know when

the hits are going to come. Vermont folksinger Rik Palieri is riding the airwaves with a children's song he wrote and performed at an anti-sweatshop rally in Burlington early last month, which was attended by Rep. Bernie Sanders. "Santas Elves" is now being played on community and college stations nationwide — even as far as Guam, a country which reportedly has some children slaving away. The National Labor Committee — the organization attempting to stop child labor — has adopted the song for its Holiday Season of Conscience campaign to raise awareness about "toys for kids made by kids." The campaign includes a candlelight vigil and songfest December 11 at St. Patricks Cathedral in New York City. "We're distributing the lyrics and music to kids from schools [in New York and New Jersey]," says NLC's Julianne Rana, explaining that children in other groups nationwide will also be taught Palieri's song h la "We Are the World." "We all felt his song spoke to the issue and is very timely," says Rana. "We're trying to bring together the folk community and this campaign. Rik has set a great example in that."

ALL THAT JAZZ..

. has a new place to go in Burlington. The question is, will the jazz crowd follow? Is there a jazz crowd? Robert Fuller, the new owner of Leunig's, has been trying to give the jazz scene a much-needed injection. Since he bought the Church Street landmark this summer, Fuller, also owner of Pauline's Restaurant on Shelburne Road, has upped the live music ante to four nights. For the time being it's Tuesdays with Paul Asbell, Wednesdays with Lar Duggan &: Jenni Johnson, Thursdays with Ellen Powell & Jerry Lavene, and Fridays with James Harvey. So far, though, jazz fans are not exactly storming the place — despite the loss of other regular gigs in the area. Could the problem be smoke — or rather, lack thereof? Fuller watches with frustration as nearby downtown bars fill up with smokers who throw back brewskis, shoot pool and watch TV, while some of the finest musicians in the region play to modest crowds. "Its actually pretty discouraging," Fuller

POLSTON

says. "The drinking crowd wants to smoke, but when we had smoking, the non-smokers wouldn't come." He's not giving up yet, and maybe it's too early to tell what six months of closed windows — or the expansion of Leunig's' south side — will do. "I'd really like to see a nonsmoking jazz bar," Fuller adds. "I'm committed at least through the end of the year. I don't know what's going to work." Any suggestions?

THE NAME GAME

Kudos to The Lost Nation Valley Boys for changing their name to Lost Nation Valley Band with the addition of female fiddler Hope Jensen. Steve LaCombe and Dale Cahill are still "boys" when they play as a duo, but "band" when Jensen and bassist Matt McGibney (and sometimes guitarist Ed Sutton) join in. The whole unit is playing first and third Wednesdays at Cactus Cafe. Cahill notes that his organization — Vermont's Bluegrass Family — is trying to put together another bluegrass festival next summer. If anyone wants to help, call him at 827-6640.

ANTI-NUCLEAR FAMILY A Massachusetts-based

nonprofit called Citizens Awareness Network nailed their local nuclear plant for dumping poison into the neighborhood and causing, among other things, a dramatic increase in birth defects. "The no-nukes ravings of reeferinfested hippies is now coming to pass," says activist Doug Rose wryly. "We can only hope the truth doesn't reveal itself too painfully." The subsequent successful lawsuit against and shut-down of that plant in Rowe, Mass., has inspired the grassroots group to tackle other old, leaky reactors — like the one in Vernon, Vermont. What's this got to do with music, you may ask? Well, C.A.N. would like to throw a benefit for its efforts at Club Toast in Burlington, and is looking for bands to contribute their sounds to the cause. Interested parties can leave a message on C.A.N, s answering machine at 413-339-5781 or fax 413-339-8768, or call Dennis Wygmans at Toast, 660-2088, #4.

gal to import products made by indentured child workers. The new law, signed by President Clinton in late October, may affect $100 million worth of goods, mostly rugs and athletic equipment manufactured in southern Asia by children as young as four y ^ r s of age. Unlike the Vermont press, a few national media outlets have highlighted Sanders' victories in the trade realm. The New York Times gave his child-labor law page-one coverage last month. And the Journal of Commerce, a leading business publication, paid him a back-handed com-

pliment in a recent editorial. "Bernie Sanders may reflect the left wing of the House on trade and labor issues," the Journal observed, "but lately he's been on a roll." In a later commentary, the New York-based daily noted •that Sanders has opposed every one of the major trade accords pushed by Clinton, including the "fast-track" measure that the president failed to ram through the House this past weekend. Vermont's sole congressman doesn't appreciate how much his own state benefits from expanded trade opportunities,

But in a testament to Sanders' political savvy, the head of Vermont's World Trade Office expresses nothing but satisfaction with the congressmart's performance. "We've been very pleasandy surprised by how much his office has done to support our efforts," comments Roger Kilbourn. At Sanders' initiative, his staff is arranging for Vermont's top export promoter to meet with the trade representatives of various embassies in Washington. "He's very supportive of Vermont's trade efforts," Kilbourn says of the lawmaker who has fiercely opposed many of the congressional proposals favored by Kilbourn's office. How has Sanders come to be so deeply involved in what's essentially a foreign-policy issue that was of little concern to him during his eight years as Burlington's mayor? Sanders casts his leading role in the trade debate — "probably the most important issue facing the nation today" — in terms of h k longstanding concern with class disparities & in America. And he predicates his position on an insistence that the U.S. economy is In* serious trouble, notwithstanding the relendessly positive sta; r j f f . • • tfifcf» Hi w***!: ttt . tistics or the past couple of years. .•'•>• >" Unemployment may be at a 24-year tow and inflation appears virtually non-existent, butformany Americans these are hard times, Sanders argues. He points to the recendy reported 7 percent drop in Vermonters' family incomes and to the fact that blue-collar wages are barely inching upward nationally. /'Middleclass and working families are suffering rather badly as the rich get richer," Sanders maintains. U.S. trade policy constitutes one of the main reasons for this top-heavy prosperity, he adds. Despite Clintons constant efforts to pry open foreign markets for American-made products, the U.S. now racks up a record-setting $ 125 billion trade deficit —-? meaning that imports exceed exports by that amount. Some economists estimate this trade gap is costing the U.S. three m l i o n jobs, Sanders points out. "My aim is to reform our trade policy so that companies invest more in the United States and so that American workers aren't forced to compete with desperate people in the Third World," he says. "I'm not against trade," Sanders declares. He agrees with Clinton that the U.S. should negotiate a free-trade agreement with Chile, but

Sanders wants any such accord to contain environmental and labor protections stronger than any the president is likely to present to Congress on a fast- track, take- it-or-leave-it basis. Sections of the Republican Party share Sanders' suspicion of international bodies, such as the World Trade Organization, that can affect American laws. "Some right-wingers, he says, "raise the issue of national sovereignty in regard to W T O . And they have a point." Drawing a distinction between "corporatist" Republicans and other conservatives "who truly believe they're representing working people," Sanders trumpets his success in building coalitions with the latter group. His status as the only Independent in the House abets his search for common ground across party lines, Sanders contends. "As someone who doesn't spend all his time attacking Republicans or defending Bill Clinton, I'm in a better position to bring Republicans and Democrats together." The leftish tinge of the House's current Democratic contingent has further enabled Sanders to forge alliances with powerful figures. David Bonio^ the most pr.sgressiye member of the Democrats^ 1 House leadership team, recently invited Sanders to accompany him and another Democrats on a tour of Mexico's Juarez., I border section. T n e t r f c m s r i e r r • day visit, meant to MgliJiigjit weaknesses in the Norai American Free Traded ? < Agreement, was given substantial airtime on CBS' nighdy national news show v "Bernie's guns are still blazing; he's not backed down at all on his politics," says Bill Grover, chair of the St. Michael's College political science department. "But at the same time he's been able to put together coalitions." The socialist label no longer frightens away many would-be allies, notes Grover, who is researching the effectiveness of the House Progressive Caucus which Sanders founded and chairs. The wngre^sman himself seems increasingly comfortable in the role of Capitol Hitt habitul. Experience makes a difference, Sanders acknowledges. In each of his four terms, "we've been learning how to get things [done] in this enormously complicated institution." Sanders further indicates he has no intention of running for a different office any time soon. And it's possible he won't face much of a challenge to his re-election in 1998. Republicans may find it harder than ever to argue plausibly that Vermont's only House member is an irrelevancy in Washington. (Z)

scar Hammerstein II said a mouthful when he penned "Old Man River" for the 1927 Broadway musical, Show Boat. Sure, the Mississippi River would jes' keep rollin along without him, but could he have imagined the play would still be chugging away 70 years later?

O n e of the more pivotal themes is miscegenation.

According to music director Peter Bouchard — a trombonist, facilities coordinator at Middlebury College, and a Champlain College instructor whose most recent Lyric project was 1995's West Side Story — the varied score in Show Boat was another innovation in its day.

atrical fare smack up against a very complex issue: casting people of color. While Vermont's population is no doubt more racially diverse today than it was in the 1970s, Dye and his colleagues struggled to tap this resource so critical to what he hopes will be an aut Americana ori According to Dye, only three or four African-> American actors initially tried out for the play. In hopes of boosting these numbers, Lyric ran l o a d advertisements announcing "special auditions for people of color." Despite the company's pains in crafting the ad, its frank language still drew criticism in some quarters. It failed, however, to draw actors of color in numbers sufficient for a respectable Show Boat. T h a t s when Dye took matters into his own hands. "I decided that I was going to get on my bicycle with pamphlets in hand and pedal my ass all around Burlington," he recalls, "and whenever I saw a black person I was going to stop and say, 'My name is Joe Dye. I'm directing Show Boat. We need persons of color. Let me tell you about the show.'" If Dye's head-on approach made some people squirm, he says that it played fairly well among his intended audience. "Over a period of maybe 10 days I probably talked to about 30 people. In every case, although people at first thought I was trying to sell them something — and I was — they were courteous, polite and cooperative." Most took his brochure, Dye adds, and said they'd pass it on to a friend who might be interested. Kwanza, a Winooski resi-

dent and chorus/piano teacher at Bellows Free Academy, supports the means and ends of Lyric's outreach efforts: "We needed people for the show," she says. "Either being approached or seeing the ad, I can't say that I would've been offended, at all, because this is a play that has to have black characters in it. It deals with racism, and that, to me, is important." , , , Behind the scenes, Kwanza acted as a consultant and gobetween with Show Boat and potential cast members among Burlington's people of color, using her contacts in such outlets as the University of Vermont's Office of Multicultural Affairs and " Burlington's New Alpha Missionary Baptist Church to spread the word. She also edited the script for offensive racial language and depictions. • Theatergoers familiar with the play will notice that the supporting cast, too, has undergone some historical revisionism —- a bi|t of race role-shifting. "I feel the directors of Show Boat have done a good job of preserving the whole idea of what Show Boat was while at the same time making a statement," Kwanza • says.' Lyric's production will feature 10 people of color, a few " less than Dye had hoped for, but more than he expected. "I feared we'd end up with two or three.. .On stage, it looks almost like a black community," he says: s ^ t 1 , ,Ut Building that community will have been well worth the % effort, both for Show Boat as well as future Lyric productions and minority actors. According to promotions cochair Pat Boera, a career counselor at Champlain College, Lyric has begun discussing how to reach out "not just to the community of people of color, but to all the different groups that are now in the melting pot called Burlington." For Kwanza, outreach is only part of the issue. Directors and others need to look beyond race when casting, she says, and allow actors to play roles not necessarily scripted for their race. "The only thing that I am leery about is having this be the only time that AfricanAmericans can perform in [Lyric's] shows. That's when I really have a problem."

With Show Boat's rough waters behind him, Dye is optimistic about what lies ahead. "One of the nicest things about directing, very different from acting," he says, "is that there's a point where you can divorce yourself, step back, watch, and say either 'wow' or 'oops.' I think with Show Boat it's going to be 'wow.'" (7)

SOLE FOOD

A Body Shop tired

recipe

for

feet*

sliislirp; I'

1 Soak feet in warm water and Lavender Essential Oil. This will soothe the feet and relax the senses. 2 Apply Pumice Foot Scrub in a gentle, circular movement to the entire soles of the feet. Spend a little extra time on the rough spots, and take care to get between the toes. 3 Rinse feet in warm water, pat dry with a warm towel. 4 Massage Peppermint Foot Lotion into feet, both top and bottom. This will first cool, then warm the feet —making them feel like little pillows. » 5 For extra relief, apply cooling gel to the thighs, calves and ankles. Finally, tuck your toes into Body Shop moisturizing slippers. You'll feel like new.

Horses-Woman," also knew her way around a barn. When the couple moved to South Dakota for the filming of Thunderheart, they noticed small, primitivelooking horses scattered around the reservation. It got them wondering if any of the old equine blood lines had survived.

here are more horses than cows on the road from Stowe to Morrisville — Morgans, mostly, grazing with rightful dignity on pastures privy to some of the best views in Vermont. But the upscale New England landscape hardly prepares you for the odd assortment of munching mounts scattered in the field below Red Road Farm. Or the Stetsonsporting cowboy walking among them in Westernstyle shit-kickers who's offering words of encouragement in Lakota.

Burlington Equine, for one, is delivering chiropractic backrubs to confirm these ponies are short one dorsal vertebra — a sign of pure Barb. The ferrier is also making horse calls. Although they're mule-footed, these unshorn ponies need regular pedicures. The Spanish Mustangs didn't always have it this good. Less than a year ago, they were scattered around the country, largely forgotten. Fusco was working on an animated film for Spielberg, "sort of a Lion KingoS the Old West,"

when his research turned up a missing link in the Spanish Barb business: an old cowboy named Bob Brislawn. Brislawn was working as a topographical engineer at the turn of the century when he "discovered vestiges of the Indian pony herds on reservations when everybody thought they were gone," Fusco says. Before he decided the breed was worth saving, Brislawn bought a pack of ponies and put it to work. The little horses outperformed their larger counterparts on all counts —

old man was not sure where the remaining horses ended up. Fusco tracked down every lead, and found one batch of seven Spanish Barbs in Texas, the other group of four in California. "Getting them here was really difficult," he says. "Tracking them down, buying them, setting up the round pens, working the mares, separating the stallions. It was a big project." Fusco also bought the "registry," which shares his barn-style office with buffalo skulls, bad-

Standing together in the field — with larger Hollywood "paint " horses off on their own — the diminuitive animals look refreshingly diverse in black roan, coyote dun and grullo. Some have primitive markings, like zebra stockings or a dark dorsal stripe. Despite their knobby knees, the winning combination of short back and long flexor tendons make for a super-smooth ride. They also make a lovely sight circling the ring on a rope bridle. "I was working

them down, buying them, setting up the round pens, working the mares, separating the stallions. Jt was a big project" — John Tusco horseman and screenwriter endurance, agility, cooperation. Brislawn spent the rest of his life trying to keep the little steeds "straight." In 1957, Brislawn got offical recognition for his efforts: the U.S. Department of Agriculture acknowledged his Spanish Barb Registry, which later became the Horse of the Americas Registry. But one after another misfortune befell the organization, which finally disbanded when old Brislawn died, and his partner, Jeff Edwards, was diagnosed with bone marrow cancer. The bulk of the horses were shipped to a Spanish Barb Preserve in Washington State, where they all died after wandering into a neighboring field treated with herbicide. The rest were divided into small groups and shipped out to anyone who would take them. When Fusco finally found Edwards still alive, the

ger pelts and other Indian lore. Striding across his field, grain bucket in hand, Fusco looks happier than a horse in a hay loft. The mares come right over, en masse, providing a better look at their characteristic long manes, tufted ears and crescent-shaped nostrils. Last week they used the same crowding technique to try to finish off the family dog, seen as a predator by wild horses. Fusco points out the "alpha mare" — the sociology of wild ponies is more akin to wild deer or wolves than cows or horses. Morning Dove is six months pregnant and still nursing a foal — a no-no in traditional equestrian circles. "We do things a little differently," Fusco says, noting that the animals, renowned for their hardiness and jumbosized hearts, will be foaling wild, in the snow, in March.

one of the mares in the round pen down there, and a local horse lady stopped and said, 'That horse could go into hunter jumper class and win everything," Fusco says. Starting next summer, he wants to start actively promoting the breed, getting the ponies out to local horse shows, fairs and pow-wows. Exposure shouldn't be a problem. One pony here traces back to the Cherokee "Trail of Tears." But what Fusco really wants for his ponies is respect — something these historic horses, and their erstwhile riders, were summarily spared. If he can't make up for their past humiliation, Fusco is determined to improve their future through his Vermont-based Indian Horse Conservancy. Certainly no breed is more entitled to a turn in the clover. ®

LISTINGS

ehind every exhibit there is a story. In the case of the Sue Miller Retrospective, covering a 40-year span, the diminutive, grandmotherly artist behind the title has a long story indeed. As a high school student, Miller studied with Ben Shan, Raphael Sawyer and other prominent New York artists in a W.P.A.-sponsored arts in education program. In 1939, she enrolled at Brooklyn College, and upon earning her B.A. in fine arts, found a job in the war effort rendering electrical schematics at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. After the war, she got married and began to raise a family. That was about the extent of Miller's career "in the arts." It was just the beginning of her career as an

(weakly) imitated masters of the East. The surfaces of Miller's stone and wood sculptures demonstrate mastery with a chisel as well as the brush, and a sensitivity to the unique properties of her mediums: alabaster, rosewood, walnut and marble. She still cuts stone without power tools. In "Two Solitudes," Miller selected and organized materials with as much concern for thier symbolic meaning as their physical properties. Based on a phrase from Rilke, the title refers to separate but equal lovers that rise and curve like Brancusi's "Bird in Space." These are formed from soft wood and positioned on alternating blocks of hard wood and stone, indicating a relationship built on diverse yet complimentary layers of experience.

Miller is quick to acknowledge her influences.

ENVIRON MENTAL Laura Von Rosk's small oil -on-wood landscapes are unpeopled, though the glossy, square scenes are not devoid of human interference: Someone has mowed those neat, bizarre patterns in the fields; someone has cut down those trees, set those fires, dug those holes. If an eerie taint of habitation, or destruction, settles over some of Von Rosk's appealing works, they remain nonetheless as she represents them: a place for reflection and solitude. An artist from Paradox, New Y6rk, and 1995 winner of a Pollock-Krasner grant, the 33-year-old painter says her landscapes are not places she's been, but "a place to go." Indeed, in some of the 18 works currently showing at Burlington's Rhombus Gallery, the perspective is of a bird's-eye view, or perhaps that of a landing plane, and the effect is the urgent one of the ground rushing up to meet you. The eye dives right into the conical mountains, the feminine, voluptuous fields with crewcuts of grain, the straight, dark forests that shoot up out of the ground like telephone poles. Von Rosk's simple compositions are conceptually and viscerally satisfying, from the single spruce nestled amongst loaf-like hills to an earth-toned road into a forest whose apex is a visual springboard to the small triangle of bright green in the distance. The mysterious hole in the ground in "Lost or Found?" piques the imagination as much as the picture's title, even though this is not the strongest work in the show. It is one more piece of evidence that these squares of nature are personally iconic for Von Rosk, like windowpanes into the psyche. The paintings are on display through November 16.

s I did some professional T V watching the other day (is this a great country or what?), I made an observation relative to The American Character. Based on exhaustive research — by which I mean switching channels until I got tired — I can state without equivocation that we are no longer a nation of merely lawabiding citizens; we've mutated into the land of the lawobsessed. If you don't count the infomercials, sit-coms, syndicated re-runs, programs about people exercising on beaches, talk shows and all those "Entertainment Tonight" clones, practically everything on T V these days has something to do with the law. For one thing, Congress apparently passed some kind of ruling, post-O.J., to the effect that we Americans must at all times have an official national case to follow. That means virtually every network news broadcast, tabloid talk show, fake news programs like "American Journal" and "Inside Edition," current affairs roundtables like CNBC's "Rivera Live" (Geraldo's an attorney, you know), myriad magazine shows and C N N all cover the case like there was a law against talking about anything else. Following the workings of the American criminal justice system, at least in these select cases, has risen to the level of spectator sport, the new national pastime. T h e electronic media now routinely cover public reaction to these events as eagerly as they cover the investigations and trials themselves: the divided reaction to the Simpson ver-

dict; responses on both sides of the Atlantic to the au pair trial and verdict; the long vigil for progress of any kind regarding JonBenet Ramsey; endless chats with the friends and neighbors of Susan Smith, Timothy McVeigh, Andrew Cunanan and the Unabomber. W h a t a time to find yourself holding a microphone and a law degree. Just ask people like Dan Abrams, who provides legal analysis for both Court T V and N B C . Not to mention C N N ' s Greta Van Susteren and Roger Cossack, hosts of the jurisprudence junkie's daily fix, "Burden of Proof." Here are two people"who owe their current careers entirely to O.J. Simpson, in the course of whose trial they earned a programming niche for themselves as the Siskel & Ebert of the courtroom. It's the law of supply and demand. O r is it the demand and supply of law? Wherever you turn, programmers are scrambling to satisfy the national appetite. PBS continues to air thought-provoking specials featuring the granddaddy of legal TV, Harvard law professor Arthur Miller. Millions of American subscribers get to flirt with legal T V OD's every day, thanks to the all-law cable service Court TV, which is sort of a juicy third cousin of the equally legal but decidedly less sizzling CSPAN channel. And, as always, there are the network courtroom dramas, of which "Law and Order" is currently the finest example. And let us not forget all those movies about law and lawyers, shown every day on premium services. The John Grisham adaptations

alone could provide programming for a 24-hour all-law movie channel. Of course, where there's yin there's got to be yang, and the wonderful world of legal T V is not all nannys and 911 calls. Many viewers fascinated, and perhaps comforted, by the spectacle of timely and prudent justice are in it for the giggles as much as anything else. Witness two of the most entertaining reality-based programs on the air: "Judge Judy." You've got to see this. The premise of the show is pretty much ripped off from "People's Court," but who cares? It's all just an excuse for a feisty, whipsmart and unusually funny judicator named Judith Sheindlin to run roughshod through the egos and B.S. of normal, everyday litigants engaged in mortal combat over some trifle. It's a joy to watch her lock onto a target once she's heard from both sides of a case. From the moment she ascertains who the offending blowhard is, Judy shows zero mercy and even less patience, dishing out justice and withering wisecracks like a no-nonsense superhero with a Brooklyn accent and '50s perm. The new "People's Court." In a twist on the traditional sequence, former New York mayor Ed Koch has gone from politician to performer, replacing cantankerous Judge Wapner as the presiding force in this syndicated chestnut. I was concerned at first. I never really cared for Koch's work in commercials. And the program has become a lot more gimmicky, sacking the mondo-nostrilled Doug Lewellen and adding a female commentator, as well as

to the present, legal dramas have been a television staple, but I can't think of a single show based on the antics of a hapless attorney. T V has given us comic takes on nearly every other profession; what could possibly account for the lack of humor about the legal system? (Never mind "The Paper Chase," based on the movie with John Houseman — that was about law students, not lawyers. And I haven't forgotten about "Night Court," but in my opinion that show's courtroom was just a device to justify hauling wacky characters before the cameras each week.)

Following the workings of the American criminal justice system... has risen to the level of spectator sport.

its very own legal analyst, an interactive Web scoreboard gauging viewer support for the defendant vs. the plaintiff, and hilarious man-in-the-street reaction segments. Koch is a laugh riot, however, folksy and sympathetic one minute, imperious and indignant the next. Best of all, the show's producers wisely elected not to mess with that happening theme music. Which brings me to the question: So where are the legal sit-coms? From "Perry Mason"

I'm tempted to read something meaningful into the country's escalating preoccupation with legal matters. Something to the effect that, even among a citizenry as cynical and jaded as ours, the law is held beyond mockery and above trivialization; that we intuit law may be the only thing holding this volatile world together, and deep down we regard it with an affection and fascination that transcend obligation. O n the other hand, those T V people are the same goomers who gave us " A i r and lost all those episodes of "The Honeymooners." It's conceivable a sit-com about hapless lawyers just never occurred to them. O r that it did, but network attorneys overruled the idea. Personally, I suspect a law comedy might be just the thing for people taking this stuff too seriously. Until Steven Bochco or some other savvy producer takes appropriate legal action, however, I guess you could say the jury is still out. (7)

Nov. 13-19 ARIZS

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): W h o says Aries are simple, transparent folk with one-track minds? Film star Steven Seagal is an Aries, and he's as complex i" as they come. In 1990 he settled out court on a sexual harassment charge; in 1994 a scriptwriter accused j him of making death threats; and yet this year he was formally declared a ! High holy person by a Tibetan i Buddhist. According to an ex-friend quoted in Esquire, Seagal "is the only person I know who can use the words motherfucker and Dalai Lama in the same sentence." I mention this, Aries, because many of your tribe are now | going through a Seagal-like phase. Are you? Or have you figured out how to ge a generous inspiration to many of the people you meet without having to balance it by being a jerk the rest or the time?

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): It'll be a good week to invoke Einstein's dictum, "Imagination is more important than knowledge" while making love. It'll also be prime time to engage in heavy petting in an exotic locale or to seek out an orgasm in your dreams. O n the other hand, it won't be such a great time to compare your current lover to your old flames, or ruminate obsessively on the broken hearts you suffered in the past, or rely on tried and true techniques for creating sexual satisfaction. Your main assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to prevent romantic history from repeating itself.

CANCCR (June 21-July 22): "I need someone to read me stories," sings Patty Larkin in a tune on her album Perishable Fruit. I've been thinking of you every time I hear that line, Cancerian. You need more stories any way you can get them. Correct that. You need more good stories. Not air-brushed, empty-hearted Disney fantasies. Not the noir fetishizing that passes for storytelling in millions of T V shows and movies. Not the banal collages that infect most rock songs or the alienating narratives called the "news." No, Cancerian, you need nourishing rales of love and glory such as our ancestors told around the dinner table. You need ambiguous but redemptive myths that feed your soul with mystery. You need parables and sagas that connect you to your past and excite you about your future. L€0 (July 23-Aug. 22): Almost exacdy eight years ago, the citizens of East and West Berlin began to commingle freely for the first time in 28 years. Soon alter their reunion, selfappointed demolition teams began hacking the Berlin Wall to pieces. I'd like for all you Leos to draw inspiration from that magnificent dismanding. The time has finally come for you to perform a similar rite of creative destruction on the stony N barriers that are partitioning yom

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): New teachers and new friends: They're in the works for you this week. Unless of course you're too busy studying old teachers and killing time with old friends, in which case the fresh deliveries will pass you by. It's a similar situation with connections and helpers: If you spend too much energy fussing with the familiar ones, you'll probably never even notice the spanking-new candidates offering themselves up for your use. LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Marketing experts say the average consumer needs to hear of a new product nine times before it finally registers. Keep that in mind as you prepare to drum up support for your recent brainstorms. Like it or not, repetition has got to be at the heart of your self-promotional magic. Not just any old boring kind of repetition, either. You've got to be as sincere and scintillating and original about presenting yourself the ninth time as you were the first.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22 Dec.

21): I promise that your mini-ordeal won't last too much longer. It's scheduled to hang on for a mere nine more days, and there are steps you can take to bring it to a close even sooner. Like what? To answer that, I'll give you two quotes that perfectly capture the strategies you'll have to master. "If a man has nothing to eat, fasting is the most intelligent thing he can do." — Herman Hesse. "The messiah will come when we don't need him anymore." — Franz Kafka.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Please don't be bored by all the good news I've been reporting lately. I know it must make you suspicious that I'm sugarcoating the truth. But I swear I'm not. Your karma is just plain squeakyclean these days, and I refuse to "entertain" you by fabricating some nonexistent problem for you to worry about. In other words, Capricorn, I'm afraid you're going to have to put up with my rosy outlook for at least one more week. Ready? Here comes s ones.

AQUARIUS

(Jan.20-Feb. 18): Mozart died a pauper. N o other event in history is more vivid testimony to the hazards of being a genius. That's why I counsel my musician friends to immunize their creativity against an obsession with fame and fortune. "If you're not motivated to play your songs mostly by how good it makes you feel," I tell them, "give it up." Come to think of it, Aquarius, that's excellent advice for you, too. Now, more than ever, it's crucial that you do what you do because you love it, not because it might win you recognition and appreciation. (Trick ending: Having this attitude is the very best way to ensure that you do get recognition and appreciation.)

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Neuroscientists have now proved beyond a doubt that your Drain produces natural substances that mimic the active ingredient in marijuana. I bring this up, Pisces, because I believe those cannabis-like chemicals inside your head will be especially active this week. Adjust accordingly. Expect short-term memory loss and sudden, perhaps shocking upgrades in your ability to glimpse the big picture. And think twice about operating heavy machinery, because your mind could get blown at any time. (7) YO,

Is a small dose of radiation that might detect a lump "From a statistical point of view, the benefits outweigh the risks," Schoenbeck says. "But it is true that ionizing radiation does increase the risk of developing cancer." After getting a baseline mammogram, if a woman has no family history of the disease and no other risk factors, does her monthly breast self-exam and is terrified of x-rays and radiation, the recommendation might be different. But most women I know have at least some family history, many have some additional risk factors — such as having children late in life or not at all — and the closest many

T h e problem with this reasoning is that its easy to get sidetracked from the key word, "causal." T h e other side of this reasoning says that more women are getting mammograms, and more breast cancer is being detected before it kills them. As for the naturopaths perspective, Lorilee Schoenbeck says that she follows the American Cancer Society guidelines (see this column, 10/15) that every woman get an initial mammogram sometime between 35 and 40, and then annually after

A few years age, when everyone was still shocked at the statistics on the dramatic rise in breast cancer cases in the United States, women were questioning what could be causing this increase. Conjectures were the increase in hormone treatments, environmental pollution, preservatives in the food we eat. In this mix, the question was raised about a possible causal relationship between the mammograms and the cancer. T h e reasoning went like this: More women have been getting mammograms, and, hey, more women have been getting breast cancer, too.
