BOHEMIAN CLUB RULES In a very perceptive item ' ["Inside Track," October 31], Peter Freyne says we, too, have a Taliban, namely the homegrown ail-American Christian religious fundamentalists. I would like to add a crucially important detail that most people are unaware of: the Bohemian Club. The Taliban is a grouping of about 1000 Muslim religious fundamentalist clerics who have ruled Afghanistan until a few days ago. Their military enforcers were also called Taliban. O n the other hand, al-Qaida ("the base") is a worldwide network of terrorists and fundraisers; it is al-Qaida that has attacked the World Trade Center and the Pentagon (and almost Congress). Since the Taliban has harbored and supported al-Qaida, it is easy to confuse the two. U.S. terrorists, like Tim McVeigh and the murderers of abortion doctors and the bombers of abortion clinics, are not of the ruling class; they are simply murderers misguided by religious zeal. But what is the Bohemian Club? It is a grouping of about 2500 members, all male, 99 percent white, all connected to the very rich. They effectively rule the White House, Congress and the judiciary. Every Republican presi-

dent since Herbert Hoover has been a member, and quite a few Democrats. George W. Bush belongs, just like his father and his grandfather Prescott Bush. The heads of IBM, DuPont, General Electric, Bank of America and the World Bank have also been members. About 20 percent of the members are directors of one or more Fortune 1000 companies, corporate CEOs, current and former top government officials, members of important policy councils and major foundations. The Manhattan Project to create an atomic bomb was agreed on during a super-secret meeting in 1942 at Bohemian Grove, California, where the group meets annually. Year after year, executives from major military contractors, oil companies, banks, utilities and the national media come to "network" at this mid-summer encampment. Past speakers include Alexander Haig, Casper Weinberger, Henry Kissinger, etc. Other prominent members include George Schultz, Stephen Bechtel, Gerald Ford, William Buckley, Fred Hartley, Merv Griffin, Joseph Coors, Edward Teller, William French Smith, John Swearingen, Justin Dart and William Simon. Prospective members face an

interrogation that, according to one club man, would satisfy the KGB. There is a waiting list of 1500 notables, all eager to pay a $2500 initiation fee and $600 yearly dues. The Bohemian Club members make U.S. foreign, domestic and military policy, not the American voter, and is thus the U.S. Taliban. Americas Christian fundamentalists, whether terrorists or fundraisers or conservative voters, are the U.S. al-Qaida. — Peter Moss Fairfax

the federal bench of a black judge from his own state of Missouri and against a ban on chemical weapons.
Sounds like they are about to pull the rug out from under Anthony Pollina, doesn't it?
Mr. Ashcroft also boasts that restricting abortion has been a hallmark of his career, and he's always been a zealous proponent of the failed War on Drugs. In 1999 he gave the commencement address at ultra-conservative Bob Jones University, the South Carolina version of a scripture-based Taliban school in Afghanistan. His speech was titled, "We Have No King but Jesus." Obviously, God is on his side. Any monotheist worth his/her salt will tell you, that means Ol' God cannot simultaneously be on the side of the committee chairman, right? As the drumbeat leading up to Thursdays mano a mano showdown grows louder, Vermont's senior senator has become public enemy number one in the eyes of America's fanatical right-wing. This week, Human Events, "the national conservative weekly," goes over the top, accusing St. Patrick of being "Osama's Enabler in Congress." And chatterbox Rush Limbaugh has been skewering Leahy for weeks in his coast-to-coast radio bombast. All because Pat Leahy dares to fulfill his responsibility to the people who elected him. Limbaugh dubs Leahy "Senator Depends," and on his Web site posts a gross (and factually inaccurate) "Leaky Leahy" page with a picture of St. Pat in underwear. Not surprisingly, Rush's whipped-up Ditto Heads have been flooding Leahy's Capitol Hill office like anthrax with their virulent spew. St. Patrick's chief of staff, Luke Albee, tells Seven Days he occasionally picks up the line himself just to personally catch the flavor of the incoming. "Some of the crudest calls I've seen in 15 years," says Luke. When Limbaugh's Taliban aren't busy "cursing on the phone at young Vermonters," said Mr. Albee, "they're probably pulling the wings off flies." Incidentally, calls from Vermonters to Leahy's office are running overwhelmingly in support of St. Patrick's cautious, patriotic approach to the Bush administration's attempt to override the U.S. Constitution.
Sneaky Dean Update — Still no written response from the governor's office by Tuesday's deadline concerning our formal request for back copies of the governor's real work schedule. Perhaps he considers himelf above the law? Sneaky Dean himself gave us a jingle last week . on his car phone. He acknowledged such a document does exist. It's kept on a computer. He told us three copies are printed out daily: one for him, one for his top political aide, Kate O'Connor, and one for his Vermont State Police security detail. The Guv asked if we just wanted him to tell us about his recent out-of-state trips, or if we wanted to "litigate." We told our favorite presidential hopeful that it's time to test Vermont's public documents statute. As far as we can tell, there's no special exemption for the governor's office in the law. O n Tuesday, the Rutland Herald, following our lead, also filed a written request for the governors schedule. Stay tuned.
Those are the calls that count. The ugly calls from the Limbaugh Ditto Heads are, quite simply, a badge of courage. Vermont, once again, is called on to lead the nation. Wouldn't have it any other way, would we? • $
DeanWatch 2004 — Better sit down. Yet another editorial in a major metropolitan daily touting Howard Dean for President. Good grief! This time it was the Providence Journal: "While success in this endeavor is unlikely, it is not a sign of insanity in the former medical doctor... "Howard Dean, the wealthy son of a New York bond trader, can talk and walk, as they say. He's comfortable raising money, is willing to travel and gives a good stump speech. He's energetic and telegenic... And look where the last two Democratic presidents hailed from, Georgia and Arkansas, not exactly electoral gold mines... "The Green Mountain State also has a pretty high visibility nationally these days, what with Sen. Patrick' Leahy (almost!) receiving an anthrax letter and fighting the Bush administration on military justice for aliens; Sen. James Jeffords's defection from the G O P and consequent tipping of Senate control to the Democrats; and Bernard Sanders growing reputation as a populist nudge in the U.S. House. "Like Bill Clinton before him, Dr. Dean knows that President Bush's 85 percent war-time approval: rating will fade before the next election.

claimed that its new brand, O m n i , contains "greatly reduced" levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, nitrosamines and catechols, which are carcinogens that cause lung cancer. T h e Philadelphia Inquirer reported that Vector also hopes to introduce the first nicotine-free cigarette, O m n i Free, in early 2002, using tobacco grown by Am ish farmers.
Shortly after a man held up a bank in Longview, Washington, police apprehended a suspect sitting on a bench less than 300 feet from the police station. "He apparently left the bank and went across the street to a Minute Mart and bought a beer," Detective Sgt. D a n Jacobs said, then sat down and waited. Sgt. Ed Jones looked out his window and saw the man drinking a beer, then noticed he fit the bank robbers description, so he walked out and arrested E d m o n d Alexander, 54.
Hoping His Investment Takes Off
Accidents Waiting to Happen Police in Wadena, Minnesota, reported that Christopher Moske, 16, was lying down in the parking lot of a 24-hour service station posing as the victim of a hit-and-run accident while two friends videotaped him. Police Sgt. Bruce Uselman said a customer leaving the station didn't realize the teen-ager was on the pavement and backed over him, killing him.

his is a little embarrassing, but I failed my most recent physical. OK, it's not really possible to fail a physical as long as you respond to the electric heart paddles within the first three to four tries. But it is possible to perform really, really badly on one. And I did. It turned out that a lot of the parts I thought I'd done quite well on — the blood pressure, heart rate and cholesterol sections, for example — were my weakest areas. As opposed to the SATs — another test you can't "fail" — the goal with physicals is to get the lowest number of points. Unfortunately, the combined score of my physical tests easily exceeded my best SAT score. Not exactly a confidencebuilder. If you're a stupid professional athlete or a sickly genius, you can at least get rich. But if you're both dim and sickly, you don't really have a lot to work with. My doctor wasn't shocked, but he was concerned, in that cheerful way some physicians have of expressing delight while looking concerned. For one thing, they like busting you in a lie, and it became obvious some of my answers on the questionnaire I filled out in the waiting room were "misleading." That is, I checked j the wrong ones. So the doctor re-interrogated me 1 about how much and what kind of food I eat, how much exercise I'd been get- m ting, and so forth. Finally came the question I'd been dreading most. « "So, how much do you ' drink?" asked the nosy bastard. I gave him my most i conservative estimate, which I turned out to be unacceptable even for his more "lib} eral" patients, whereupon he retorted with the most draconian of sentences: } "You need to quit now. Or else." And so I find myself forced to abstain from alcoi hoi. This bums me out pretty severely, because, to be perfectly honest, I love booze. I'm not ashamed of it, and I regret very little of my drinking career. I loved the way red vino tasted with Italian food, French food, Chinese food and potato chips and pizza rolls. I loved drinking with friends, family and complete strangers. I loved the way liquor made me feel, period. I will admit, however, that it's nice to have a better idea where I parked my car. Optimist that I am, I decided to look at this alcohol abstinence thing as an opportunity to really concentrate on my smoking. This, I felt, should also keep my doc relatively happy, since his fellow Republicans have a nervous habit of sucking up to the tobacco industry and because, as a physician, he has a vested financial interest in me being unhealthy and coming back. The best news of all, though, is that lawsuits against Big Tobacco have already been established by people like myself, who
Pr hi i Yy Ka ii pu aa have chosen to smoke cigarettes and then — sur prise! — developed a deadly habit. I may not live very long, but if I play my cards right I can live in style for at least six months after the terminal diagnosis. In which case, screw it, I'll be drinking the best single-malt Scotch, too. I used to smoke only when I was drinking, so I had forgotten what the different brands tasted like. I decided to try one that was suitably "Vermonty," rather than one of those filthy Big Three cancer factories — RJ Reynolds, Philip Morris and Brown & Williamson. I wanted a product made by a smaller company, preferably with natural tobacco, endorsed by my fellow tortured-artist contemporaries. American Spirits seemed to fit the bill perfectly. Everybody who is anybody with a nicotine habit in Vermont smokes American Spirits. They are "additive-free," which means they don't contain any preservatives. They also don't have any of those burning agents that ensure a little nuclear reaction is going on at the end of your cigarette at all times, the byproducts of which make it safely and quickly into your bronchial tubes, alveoli and bloodstream where they belong. So, I 1 bought a pack of American Spirits and, • as cigarettes go, they really are quite tasty. If you can keep one lit. About a week into my habit, I checked out the American Spirits "Web site. It was kind of cool, although I had to wait at least two seconds for their high-powered age-verification software to make sure I wasn't lying about my age of 157 years old. Then a slick sun rose over a stylized desert landscape, exploded into pieces, and regrouped into the multicolored profile of an obviously happy Injun smoking a peace pipe. Then I read the disclaimer: "No additives does not make a healthier cigarette."

Gee, thanks for nothing. The next day I bought a pack of Camels, which tasted just as good as the Spirits, and which I was able to smoke at a much faster rate because of those excellent burning agents. Actually, I'm kidding. I threw out the last of those cancer sticks on Monday. They're all disgusting, and the Big Tobacco scum isn't getting another penny from me. I'd rather be dumb, poor and relatively healthy. Besides, I really want to retake that physical after I get in better shape. Hey, I'm not as dumb as I thought! Maybe I should try the SATs, again, too. ®

THE SEVEN DAYS SEX SURVEY
W
e haven't pried into your sex life since the dawn of the new millennium — remember Y2K? Turned out to be about as threatening as, well, KY Jelly. But some significant world events have occurred since last we surveyed, which makes good old sex — safe or otherwise — a welcome relief from reality. Besides, we've been wondering if, or how, Seven Days readers might have changed as a result of our official inquiry. Yup, we're nosy. Complete and cut out this form, and mail to the address below — BY DECEMBER 20, 2001. Those of you who feel compelled to share lots of juicy details may attach additional pieces of paper — but please be merciful. We recommend you fill out the survey by yourself, thereby avoiding the temptation to show off, or to alter your answers when you find your friends are a lot more, uh, uninhibited than you are. And if you're dumb enough to let your lover read your answers, don't blame us. Seven Days claims no responsibility for domestic friction — except the good kind. So what's in it for you? For starters, the warm, fuzzy feeling of having contributed to "science." More importantly, your answers will entertain the bejeezum out of the dedicated Seven Days staff as we tabulate the results over pizza and beer. And, we can only hope, all of us will come out better lovers. The results will appear in our Sex, Love and Bridal Issue February 6, 2002. Oh, and, as always, any surveys with suspicious stains will be rejected. ®

then woe unto the handful of student thespians assembled in jock MacDonald's class. O n a recent Wednesday evening, the drama coach is requiring them to dig deeper and deeper into the emotional subtext of scenes they're recreating from wellknown films. Even ostensible comedies are plumbed for psychological truths that prove elusive at first glance. So Ramona Godfrey of Waterbury Center and Tara O'Reilly of Stowe encounter some trouble while trying to inhabit the two lead roles in Romy and Mickeies High School Reunion, a seemingly lightweight 1997 picture. For a sequence intended to take place in a moving car, they have memorized their lines and assembled several props — a bag of potato chips, a cell phone, glossy fashion magazines — but somethings missing: "It's the stakes," MacDonald tells them after an initial run-through. "You have to make the stakes much higher. T h e formula that works is asking yourself, 'What is it that I want? W h y do I want it now? And what happens if I don't get it?'" T h e fictitious Romy and Michele, MacDonald adds, "are both very fragile. They're overenthusiastic to protect themselves from feeling pain about their lack of success in life. I just want you to get in touch with something that makes you feel the same way — fragile underneath." This is only the first session of the six-week "Acting for Film" class, so Godfrey, O'Reilly and the others have plenty of time left to pinpoint the best individual routes to suffering.
In a state fairly overflowing with cultural riches, a range of educational experiences is availr able to any "poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage," to borrow a phrase from Macbeth. Apparently, the fretting is what really counts in the gestalt of acting. MacDonald's approach, though geared to on-screen performances, resonates for other instructors in the area who generally concentrate on stage work. People with show business in their hearts and stars in their eyes often turn to Grace Kiley or Vermont Stage C o m p a n y artistic director Mark Nash. Both of them are currently offering classes in their discipline. They, too, understand the distress inherent in drama and appear to agree that acting must be a process of addressing those burdensome things that keep us from becoming whole. And, like MacDonald, Nash and Kiley probably would subscribe to a twist on the Clinton administration's motto about the economy: It's the stakes, stupid. "For me, the three pillars of acting are self-awareness, selfacceptance and patience," says Nash, a Charlotte resident who has trained some 800 aspiring actors in 14 years of teaching. "I'm interested in their growth as h u m a n beings. Acting happens to have been my vehicle for that." Are his classes a kind of group therapy? "I don't help them heal," he explains. "I only help them look at ways they might be blocked. Emotion is to acting what sweat is to athletics — a byproduct of pursuing an objective. T h e emotions will show up on their own, if you're getting your blocks out of the way. Your own life directly plugs into your performance." Nash eschews the let-it-all-
hang-out precepts of Stanislavski, however. "Method acting tries to make the actor cry," he says. "I keep clear boundaries and don't encourage people to have huge emotional outbursts." As a man whose graduate thesis at the University of California at Irvine was "Zen Buddhism in Relation to Acting," Nash believes that the key is "being present in the moment." A former student of the legendary Uta Hagen, the Willistonbased Kiley says "the goal is for actors to experience the moments of a play in their immediacy — living the moment rather than just representing it. My job is to help students find the inner life of a character... This creative vitality is the essence of good drama and what draws the audience in. Last spring Kiley was hired by 20th Century Fox to spend more than two months in North Carolina coaching Vermonter Rene Kirby — who had no previous acting experience — for a role as Jack Black's buddy in Shallow Hal. She and MacDonald have also teamed up to teach film acting in the past. Kiley's theory is that technique can provide an actor with the foundation to tackle any emotion. "If you have to do, say, a depressed character and don't feel you can, why not have a means to walk yourself into it?" she suggests. "That's like a painter knowing how to mix the right colors. You're trying to bring forward a complete h u m a n being."
M
acDonald, who calls Middlesex home, talks about stripping away the defenses performers use to hide from themselves and their characters. "From working this way, I found I know myself better and it's made me a freer, more self-
reliant actor," lie notes. Among other things, MacDonald is able to offer his students a perspective on what it's like to toil in the trenches. His resume reads like a crazy quilt of great opportunities and hard work. While growing up in Burlington as a seventh-generation Vermonter, MacDonald thought he'd follow in his physician father's footsteps. But at UVM in the early 1970s, he drifted into a double major of zoology and theater. After graduation, he did summer stock on Cape Cod, then earned a Master's degree in acting at Ohio University. During an initial stint in New York City, MacDonald worked at a Fifth Avenue ski shop and landed small parts on television soap operas, such as "The Guiding ' Light" and "Love of Life." "I was always a waiter or a bartender or an ambulance driver or a doctor," he recalls. Back home in 1978, he and some friends — including Kiley — launched a now-defunct local theatrical troupe. MacDonald's day job as a bartender at the Ice House led to meeting his future wife, Betsy, who was a waitress there. He moved Down East to spend a season at the Portland Stage Company before offering introductory theater classes at the University of Southern Maine. Then it was back to the Big Apple for more soaps, at least one off-Broadway play and small roles in a few big movies: Ishtar, with Warren Beatty and Dustin Hoffman, for instance. By 1984, the fact that MacDonald and his wife had two kids — Amanda and Colin — convinced them to return to the Green Mountain State. His 1987 gig as a friend of Don Johnson and Jeff Daniels in Sweet Hearts Dance, shot in various Vermont locations, still nets him a $1.50 residual check every other month. "The lowest amount I've ever gotten is 98 cents, from Letter to My Killer, a 1993 film I did for the USA network," he points out. When the insurance company that employed Betsy opened a California branch in the early 1990s, the couple decided to move the family to Agora Hills, a town near Los Angeles. MacDonald found work in commercials, television series and movies, earning enough money to afford "the Vermont dream," as he puts it. "We bought a saltbox on 24 acres in Middlesex that we rented until three years ago." Before leaving Hollywood, however, he met a man who changed his life. Fellow Agora Hills habitu^ Cameron Thor is a well-respected acting teacher and coach whose clientele has included Helen Hunt and Sharon Stone. His classes have yearlong waiting lists. MacDonald reports that Thor's technique, described in Movieline magazine as "boundlessly energetic, endlessly inspiring and — news flash! — humane," was an eye-opener for him.

"Most actors, even those with stage experience, are not as emotionally available as they think they are," MacDonald suggests. "It's important to cut away from pre-conceived ideas and training. .. Before the director says 'Action!' you have to think about what you want and then go after it — almost like an improv, with the words already there. It's a little scary, like jumping off the edge of a cliff, but it's liberating." After eight years on the West Coast, MacDonald moved back

With classmate Alissa Juvan of Essex, Farrington delivers a short scene from Jerry Maguire, the 1996 Tom Cruise-Renee Zellweger romantic "dramedy." The two women portray sisters discussing the pitfalls for one of them getting involved with a man. Afterwards, MacDonald analyzes what's really taking place.

— acting coach, Jock MacDonald to Vermont again when his daughter was about to attend New York University. With several additional theater and film credits under his belt, earlier this year he formulated a new plan: to teach in Burlington, Montpelier and Rutland under the umbrella of his mentor by unveiling Cameron Thor Studios East. MacDonald, who will also run a New York City branch of the operation expected to get underway in March, had discovered that production companies shooting here in the past often complained the state has a deficit of camera-trained actors. "When Hollywood comes calling next time," he pledges, "we'll have people prepared to be cast as extras and in speaking parts."

december 5 , 2 0 0 1
onica Farrington of South Burlington wants to be ready for that Hollywood call. She's enrolled in MacDonald's class, the latest in a substantial history of moves to sharpen her acting skills. She did graduate work in theater at St. Michael's College during the 1970s, took a by-invitation-only workshop with the late Hugh Cronister for four years in the 1990s, and immersed herself in an intensive weeklong workshop last summer with filmmaker Nora Jacobson. A former middle-school drama teacher and a veteran of several Lyric Theatre musicals, Farrington even spent the month of October in L.A. last year. She signed with an extras casting agency. "I was a patient on 'ER,' a lawyer on 'Judging Amy' and a taxi driver on 'Jack and Jill,"' she says. "It was so much fun, I may do it again." Meanwhile, Farrington will continue working nights as a production assistant at WCAX, writing movie scripts she hopes to direct some day and learning more about film technique from MacDonald. "An actor is sub-
what was missing. Both of you have the stage ethic. You go to the script, which is the worst place to be, because then you're just saying a line." MacDonald again proposes that the stakes were not nearly high enough. The stakes for Alicia Russo of Burlington are nothing short of self-fulfillment. "The arts are where my happiness lies," says the 26-year-old. A health information specialist at Howard Community Services, she has just wrapped up six weeks in Mark Nash's "Acting Essentials" class. Initially going for a Ph.D. in molecular biology at UVM, Russo suddenly yearned for an alternate persona. "I rediscovered my creative side," she says of the prelude to singing roles with Lyric Theatre, Northern Stage in White River Junction and Lost Nation Theater in Montpelier. She's currently rehearsing for The Eight: Reindeer Monologues, a Theatre on a Shoestring production at 135 Pearl. Russo likes the idea of absorbing different styles. "I don't believe there's necessarily any one way of doing things. Taking various classes gives you more to work with. I like options." Her experience with Nash's Zen approach in the recently concluded class was complicated. "I love a challenge, but, with Mark, it was hard for me emotionally," Russo concedes. "A lot of what happens in classes is an exploration of yourself. You have to be willing to open up. It helps you look inward and figure out where your walls are." There was some light at the end of the tunnel as Russo struggled with the rigorous demands of a technique that requires so much self-scrutiny and self-revelation. "I was fighting those blocks, so I got angry and frustrated. I thought, 'You're paying for this?' But I want to be able to go on stage and just give." ®

ou can tell a lot about a bookstore by which fiction "faces out." At Bear Pond Books in Montpelier, Vermont writers Lee Durkee, Robert Jones and Archer Mayor get as much exposure as Stephen King and John Grisham. Scanning floor-to-ceiling stacks serviced by an old sliding wooden ladder, it's clear local literati are masterminding the displays — "Mosher" gets his own hand-lettered label right next to "Morrison." It's the same story outside on the remainder racks. For less than five bucks you can pick up a hard copy of Howard Norman's early-retired Museum Guard or Louise Gliick's notso-new Vita Nova. Or go for something a little more continental: poems by W.B. Yeats, Shakespeare or Italian bard Eugenio Montale — the bilingual edition. No other bookstore in Vermont boasts such a classy collection of cut-rate books. You could say the 28-year-old bookstore is an accurate reflection of the reading population that surrounds it — which, if you include part-timers, appears to include more award-winning writers per capita than anywhere else in the country. Central Vermont is crawling with educated, active individuals who are more likely to spring for half-price Proust than the latest coffeetable book. But that wouldn't be giving enough credit to independent owners Michael Katzenberg and his wife Linda Prescott for getting the funky formula just right. Bear Pond caters to the intellectually curious without being pretentious. Its long, narrow, crowded interior and cheerful direcrionals suck you in, whether you're buying a bin Laden biography, a Vermont Life calendar or a couple of postcards. The place feels less like a retail outlet than a low-key library where no one is going to tell you to shush. In fact, Bear Pond sounds like a great bookstore, from the interesting conversations that crop up among customers to the groanings of its well-worn wood floor. Although it can cause embarrassment during readings, the latter offers creaky comfort as you explore semi-private book nooks organized by similarity of subject. You find politics and history in one section. Another is devoted to gardening, science and field guides. "We have a significant poetry section, and that is definitely recognized," Katzenberg says of a section that surrounds the shopper with poetry on three sides. Also noteworthy is an expanded collection of books inspired by the war in Afghanistan that includes edifying tomes on Islam and the Middle East. "It's a study area," offers staffer Fran Cerulli, who moonlights as a freelance literary columnist and book critic for the Barre-Montpelier Times Argus. Like all the people who work at Bear Pond, she reads what she recommends — or at least has read about it. Yellowing book reviews are taped up around the store. A section of staff-selected titles h la Waterfront Video is next to the cash register. So is a handmade poster promoting an upcoming book signing with Mary Azarian, the Caldecott Award-winning illustrator who lives in nearby Marshfield. Bear Pond hosts dozens of such literary events, almost exclusively with local authors. What sets the store apart, according to Vermont poet David Budbill, is "an involvement and commitment to the writer in the neighborhood over a long period of time... Sure, I like reading in Santa Cruz, but I'm a-stranger there," he says. "Reading at Bear Pond is like old-home day. You see all your friends."

"Traditionally, during war times and hard times, people will still buy lingerie — it's addressing a very basic part of people's needs." — Irene Callisto, Isadora
Bj t looks like it's going to be I a lingerie Christmas," a I recent issue of the trade journal Women's Wear proclaimed. That's good news, of course, for Irene Callisto, owner of Isadora. The pretty, boudoirish shop on College Street in Burlington is a respite from the harsh world at any time of year, but the holidays — especially when the country's at war — apparently send men and women alike straight to the undies. Callisto explains it this
way: "Traditionally, during war times and hard times, people will still buy lingerie — it's addressing a very basic part of people's needs." It's a known fact, too, that when the economy is in a downturn, shoppers treat themselves with affordable "small" luxuries, such as lace-edged bras, instead of big ones like sports cars or exotic vacations. The guys are likely to go for fancier items at Christmastime, but Callisto denies that the
Despite the sumptuous look of the window display, panties or stockings start at around $10, and the biggest-ticket item is under $300. And sensible types shouldn't be intimidated by the frou-frou. After all, "flannel pajamas are big this time of year," Callisto points out. Her current selection favors Chinese or antique prints on creamwhite, made by a company called Bed Head.

broke up with someone or has a new someone," she might treat herself to lovely lingerie. Callisto's one-on-one assistance and the good fit of the garments make for loyal repeat customers. At times, however, a significant other takes the lead. "Some men will come in and say, 'I hate my wife's robe,'" she says. "Women should remember that ratty old bathrobe they've had since college may be the last thing their husbands see before they leave the house in the morning." All the more reason to cozy
From roomy cotton nighties to waist-cinching bustiers, everything will be on sale come January, while Callisto prepares to move. Vacated by a travel agency, the new site is next to le petit magasin on Church Street. Though Callisto says College Street has been good to her, she thinks business will be even better around the corner, where potential customers who never stray off the Marketplace thoroughfare might venture in to discover the "unders" world. — Pamela Polston

et's face it — St. Albans is not exactly Sin City. Decked out for Christmas, its wholesome Main Street looks like it was lifted from an episode of "Leave it to Beaver." Uh, make that "Happy Days." In fact, "Rail City" is home to the annual maple festival and one of the state's largest selection of dildos. O n Federal Street, just past the St. Albans dairy co-op, Good Stuff Variety Store offers up an embarrassment of fake phalluses, from the midget widget to the foot-long "Big John." N o t to mention porn videos, penis pumps, gag gifts and anatomically correct inflatables. "Sex is everywhere. It ain't just the big city," says Good Stuff owner Tom Massey, -who says the store was more like a Spencer Gifts when he opened it two years ago. "Everybody has their fantasies and desires. This evolved from what the customers wanted, what sold," he says. Summing it up with a chuckle, he suggests, "The videos are for the boys, and the toys are for the girls." T h e x-rated stuff only takes up about a third of the store — the rest of the place is devoted to "tobacco products," decals, jewelry, baseball caps and camouflage gear. But Good Stuff in St. Albans has a lot more inventory than its new satellite store on Burlington's Church Street. An entire wall is given over to porn videos, sporting cover art that would make a gynecologist blush. T h e selection is, well, diverse, from Black Chicks with Dicks to Cum-Eating Putas. From now until Christmas you can buy one and get the second one for half off. O r get off on the second one. Whatever...

"The customers are old, young, educated, uneducated — they are everybody," says Massey, who describes himself as "happily engaged." "People come in and ask about sex. They want to make their relationships
better. I think that's great. We got an oldtimer in here asking for a cream to make him last longer with his wife." N o t h i n g amongst the massage oils looks like a substitute for Viagra, but Good Stuff does sell a variety of pretty seriouslooking penis pumps, from the starter model for $19.95 to the Cadillac — an elaborate contraption called the Heavy Metal Power Pump, priced at $69.95. Assuming a functioning erection, sensitive guys may also want to invest in a vibrating cock ring, a.k.a. "the rabbit." "Worn right, it's very nice," Massey assures. Worn wrong? Yikes. Next to the high-tech stuff, the dildos look pretty straightforward, be they vibrating, double-sided, with or without scrotum. Although Massey insists some women prefer them petite, the 10-inch Jelly Royale is definitely a stand-out. Euro-trash girls may opt for the "realistic cock with uncut foreskin — hand-colored and detailed to capture every bulge and crease of a real cock," as the package promises. Massey points out a strap-on. "You wouldn't think that would sell in Vermont," he suggests. Guess he's never been to H o m e Depot on a Friday night... T h e priciest items at Good Stuff are definitely the inflatables: For $224, "Jason" gives it up with a "full, open mouth and soft, curly blond hair." T h e female version of Jason is cheaper, and you can avoid inflatable intimacy altogether — and save a hundred bucks — by opting for just the orifices. Too bad there isn't a way to get the two dolls together — or, better yet, the customers buying them. O , now that would be a H o l y Night. — Paula Routly

o you dream of bounding over tall buildings, or spending your days conquering evil? Maybe you just appreciate great stories and masterful illustration. If so, Earth Prime Comics, on lower Church Street in Burlington, is the place to be. Comic lovers, underground artists, toy fanatics and collectors have long
to show you around the shop and assist in any purchase. "We believe that there is a comic for every customer," claims Pepe. "We are here to help them find it." T h e unpretentious attitude of the employees is one of the most appealing aspects of Earth Prime. " O u r main goal is to be non-elitist and accessi-
Recent comic-book issues average a couple of dollars, while rare editions and "trade" collections are typically $10 to $25 a n d more. Packaged vintage action figures are $40 for packs of two, $16 for singles. Harry Potter is represented with games a n d figurines in a variety of prices.

O w n e d by Christine Farrell, Earth Prime has been a downtown institution for 2 0 years -— and in its present location since 1989. Amble in and let co-managers John Pepe and Jason Andreasson guide you through the racks, stacks and shelves in search of the perfect issue. From local icon James Kochalka to internationally distributed titles such as XM e n and Spawn, Earth Prime focuses on providing a large and varied selection.

T h o u g h it's located mere paces from the chain stores on Church Street Marketplace, Earth Prime has a casual, usedbookstore atmosphere. Recent publications are displayed on large wooden shelves, while back issues are crowded into stacked boxes, free to be browsed. Action figures a n d collectors' items comprise an ever-growing pile in the center of the shop. While the majority of Earth Prime's customers are in their late twenties to mid-thirties, this is truly an allages store.

Like any store, Earth Prime has new merch arriving constantly and encourages special orders. W i t h comics having become Hollywood's it-thing lately, the popularity of the art is exploding. "Comics are really entering their heyday," claims Andreasson. "Yeah," chimes in Pepe, "we want comics to be huge." — Ethan Covey

Bridge Street behind Artisans' Gallery last June, is the very definition of "eclectic." T h i n k grown-up candy store, and you can picture the wide-eyed expressions of first-time visitors. It's hard to know which way to turn — toward the Vermont specialty food products, the apothecary shelves, the stationery section with real sealing wax, the vintage sign reproductions, the small but unusual book supply, or the myriad folk art and humorous doodads crowding shelves and hanging from the ceiling. "It's always great when someone walks in here," Mclntyre says. "There's always an audible intake of air."

ack in horse-and-buggy days, rural folk used to ride into town to pick up "provisions," maybe catching some vittles at a country cafe on the way home. Holly Mclntyre knows that the word "provisions" did and still does mean "things you need." But a glance around her Waitsfield shop of the same name suggests that she thinks you could use a Kit-Cat Klock with swishing tail and rolling eyes, spices in Christmas-tree packets, fancy soaps with exotic scents, a wire basket shaped like a high heel and a pair of PJs dotted with sushi.

and contribute to the pleasantly crammed ambiance. Tunney had a habit of closing the shop for extended trips, though, so Valley residents and tourists are pleased to find the door open more often than not these days. Mclntyre, that cheerful blond behind the sales counter, will be able to see more than a few feet into her store once renovators knock out a wall into an adjacent space next spring. She enthuses over a wedding-cake chandelier, barn beams, seating areas and other features in the additional room. She plans to bring in more art and home furnishings, and will even offer cappuccino — after she gets running water. But Provisions will be as small and cozy as a hearth until then, and no one will really mind, including Mclntyre and herfianc<£Stephen Johnson — whose "great style" helps her with the store. "It's fun to order so you can sell, so you can order more," she says happily. Expect the wine and gourmet food selection to grow, and the sense of whimsy to hold steady. At Provisions, needs are met — with attitude.

hippest and most inviting coffeehouses tend to have the worst "joe." It is not their fault. Most do their best to provide quality coffee and related products. Most miss the mark. I try to support locally owned business where I live and also where I travel, but for my money (and tastebuds), Star-bucks brews the best, most consistent coffee in the country. I do admit that my tastes lean toward dark-roasted blends, and this is where Starbucks shines. If you don't like dark-roasted blends, Starbucks is not for you. While they are lacking in their ability to provide a "warm and inviting" atmosphere, their coffee is second to none. It is hard to beat the vibe found in the "Leaf and Bean" in Bozeman, Montana, or "Cantata Coffee" in Winston Salem, North Carolina, but for the best cup of espresso or coffee, Starbucks is the place. I also hate to admit that they are one of the most socially responsible corporate entities out there as well. No, I have never worked, nor will I ever work for Starbucks.

ighty-one-year-old woodcarver and naturalist Bob Spear has birds on the brain — and has since he started crafting them from wood in 1938. That's when the teen- agen then living on a Colchester farm, used a - j a W t k to carve a couple o f p a H f e ^ l f ^ ^ now lives next door to the Birds of Vermont
one of the very first nature centers in the country when I negotiated to buy the [Huntington] property from the Hires Root Beer family. I was the full-time director for most of the 1970s. I retired when I was about to turpjSO and started to carve birds for educational
Museum in Huntington — the avian-inspired institution he established in 1987 gets 6000 visitors a year. It's just up the road from the Green Mountain Audubon Nature Center, which Spear also founded. Spear estimates he has completed 445 "biologically accurate" bird carvings that are on display in Plexiglas cases. Sparrows, meadowlarks, vireos, grosbeaks, warblers, towhees, wrens, phoebes and finches, among others, have been depicted with exacting care, along with an approximation of their habitats. Even the downiest of feathers and tiniest of eggs in a nest look real, but are all made of wood. Large birds of prey that occupy one unenclosed section appear to swoop down on makebelieve snakes and rodents. The museum's artificial wildlife conveys a thrilling realism. While some people would justifiably boast about these accomplishments, Spear is a taciturn New Englander who tends to understate his own remarkable gift.
SD: Did you do that with the idea of opening a museum? BS: No. I wanted to give them to an existing organization, but couldn't find one that had space for what was then about 150 birds in their habitats. So I built this structure just as a place to put these things. We opened for members as a nonprofit in 1987. It was a gradual evolution to becoming a museum for the public.
r
Seven Days: What on earth got you started carving birds? Bob Spear: My mother, who died when I was 16, was always interested in nature. I'm a self-taught birdwatcher and I collected butterflies and moths, but I also was drawing and painting. I learned taxidermy at age 12. After I did those parakeets, I decided that carving birds would be better than trying to make dead things look alive again. SD: What happened to that pursuit as you grew older? BS: I was in the Navy during World War II, working on radar, then I got a job at General Electric in Burlington as a technical specialist. When I left GE in 1972, I got into the environmental movement. I'd already started a chapter here of the National Audubon Society in 1962. We started
SD: Who are your biggest fans? BS: We get a lot of children. We keep small stools they can grab to get up high enough to look into the display cases. We have scavenger hunts they can do with their teachers. This place really catches their attention, even the preschoolers. SD: You began with a simple jackknife. What techniques do you use today? BS: At first it was just knives, chisels and oil paint. Now, I've got power carving and woodburning tools. I use a woodburner on top of acrylic paint for a richer texture, or just put the burner directly on unpainted wood. I usually work from photographs that have the pose I want, but I've got a cabinet full of preserved bird skins for reference. The specimens help me find the right colors and measurements. SD: The feathers in particular look so real. BS: People always want to poke them to see. SD: Are there certain types of materials you like to work with? * BS: I buy basswood logs at a sawmill. Basswood has a fine grain and no resins that might affect the paint. I sometimes make legs out of plumber's solder because it's soft enough to put in detail, but the legs of big birds are copper tubing or steel rods covered with wood. I get glass eyes from a taxider-

mist. I prefer real nests, whenever possible. SD: What keeps you so devoted to this art form? BS: It's a way of making people aware of what's here. We have to develop awareness so we can actually do something about the environment. It's pretty sad. Downstairs, we have a room with threatened, endangered and extinct species arranged in order of their disappearance: The great auk, in the puffin family, was the first to become extinct in North America in the mid-1800s. Passenger pigeons were last seen in the early 1900s in the wild, in 1914 at a zoo. The Carolina parakeet at about the same time. The Eskimo curlew hasn't been seen since 1960. They're probably gone. SD: The museum has such a vast array. Are there any birds you haven't gotten around to replicating? BS: There's about 60 species yet to be done for our wetlands diorama downstairs. SD: Do you have a favorite carving? BS: Usually by the time I finish, I'm sick of it. SD: How long does it take you to carve a bird? BS: Maybe 20 to 30 hours for a little chickadee, and as much as 500 hours for a California condor. SD: Is anyone else doing this around the country? BS: A lot of carving is being done, but no one is using it for educational purposes. This collection... is unique. SD: Do you ever take a break? BS: I like going to the tropics in the winter. Costa Rica, Trinidad, Belize, Jamaica, places like that. SD: To relax? BS: For birdwatching. I don't do any carving or drawing when I'm there. -

chairmanship of the Democratic Party, or some other job for him for his efforts after he leaves his current job in January 2003." Media Notes — Still haven't heard back from the powers that be at the local ABC-TV affiliate about the station's reported plans to put Ruth Dwyer on the air as a news person. But the story has gone national, as they say, in TV land. One TV insider Internet Web site with the catchy address — www.f**kedtelevision.com — posted this last week: "WVNYs (Burlington, VT) ratings suck and GM Larry Delia appears to be getting desperate. After a new set didn't bring in more ratings (shocking!) he is now looking to a sharp-tongued right winger. Twice failed gubernatorial candidate Ruth Dwyer is interviewing with the station about an investigative reporter's job. Needless to say some staffers are not happy, but look on the bright side. Having a staunch Republican on staff might help get rid of that 'liberal media' tag everybody throws around. Plus... if she's any good she'd be on FOX News inside a year." This week, Burlington Free Press columnist Sam Hemingway is taking heat in his own paper for breaking the news that Ruthless Ruth was being considered for TV news stardom. First, distinguished Burlington _ attorney Ritchie Berger gave Sam the Sham a couple of shots in the ribs in a letter-to-di<?. edi t<m; Sam, as everyone knows, dismissed Dwyer as unqualified for the high standards of journalism. Berger noted that, based on a sworn deposition Mr. Hemingway gave in the Paul Teetor lawsuit a few years ago, he'd flunk his own journalism litmus test for honesty and accuracy. Then TOY-TV general manager Larry Delia blasted Sambo in a Tuesday "It's My Turn." Delia accused Hemingway of "prejudice," which, he wrote, "is unattractive in any context, but particularly in'the pages of Vermont's dominant newspaper." The station, wrote Mr. Delia, is indeed considering establishing an "investigative unit," and Mrs. Dwyer is indeed under consideration, as are others. Hey, go for it! We're pulling for Ruth! Story of the Week — Sometimes the best comes last. That was the case on last Thursday's Ch. 3 Evening News. The final story was on Northfield, Vermont, native Maud George. It was Maud's 100th birthday. • Maud s mobile home is outside town. She lives alone and looks as fit as any Vermont fiddle could possibly be. She told reporter Darren Perron she simply loves her independence. It keeps her going^ "If I want to do something I can do it," she said, with the wisdom of experience twinkling in her eyes. "Nobody can tell me what I should or shouldn't do. I do just as I please. I'm independ^ "
*
ent. Asked for advice for the
younger set, Maud did something she doesn't usually do — she gave some. "Be proud of yourself," she answered. "Do what you think is honorable and other people will appreciate it." Then she laughed at herself for giving the advice. "That's the first sermon I ever gave," said Maud. She was just telling it like it is. Ch. 3 noted there are 100 Vermonters who have reached the century mark. Many more are on the way. Speaking of Independents — Compared to Independent Maud, Independent Jim Jeffords is just a kid. And he's exemplified Maud's advice about doing the honorable thing. This Saturday afternoon at 4 p.m. at the Book Rack in the Essex Outlet Fair, Vermont's junior United States Senator will be reading from his very own "Declaration of Independence." Nothing like getting it from the horses mouth. So how's Jeezum Jim's new book selling?

"Fantastic!" said the Book Rack's Elaine Sopchak. "Its the best-selling title so far this sea» son. Speaker Sourpuss — There's simply no one under Montpeculiar's golden dome who can match House Speaker Walter Freed's sour, smug, elitist personality. At the end of Sunday afternoon's House G O P caucus, majority leader Rep. John Labarge invited the Speaker to speak to the troops. The Republicans were preparing for the tough legislative battle -fT" ahead. But rather than give a pep talk or a call for team unity, the Dorset multf-millionaire used the occasion to launch a spiteful, personal attack on the Pulitzer Prizewinning editorial page of the Rutland Herald. Most people didn't know what the hell Walter was talking about. Few had read that mornings "Barney Fife" editorial on the police detention of a Brattleboro Reformer photographer for taking a picture of Vermont Yankee. The Herald noted the antique law dates back to the World War I era. To emphasize its absurdity, the Herald ran a photo of power lines on the Barre-Montpelier Road — also a violation of the same law. Walt failed to see the humor. Speaker Freed accused the Rutterdam daily of a "double standard." He pointed out the same paper had previously scorned gold towns like Dover that thumbed their noses at the states education financing law and initially refused to abide by it. Freed opposed Act 60 and has so far been inept at improving it. And, noted Sir Smug, the Herald condemned town clerks who refused to abide by the civilunions law and issue licenses to gay couples. Freed also opposed the civil-unions law and last year voted to repeal it. Such a sourpuss! C'mon, Walt. You're the Speaker of the House, fer chrissakes. Get the chips off your shoulder. Lead! ®

A N D T H E W I N N E R I S . . . H e may not be able to take the mantle of "The King" away from Elvis, b u t at least Lyle King has the right last name -— and the honor of winning Advance Music's annual Acoustic Guitar Search, co-sponsored by T h e Point and Magic Hat. King's exuberant strumming and plaintive singer-songwriter pop beat out stiff competition last week at Nectar's, entitling him to a new Tacoma guitar from Advance and eight hours of studio time at Egan Media Productions. He's got a cassette full of original tunes to hand out to fans at gigs — suitably titled In the Spotlight — and promises a C D by next spring. N o t bad for a guy who's only been playing solo about a year. Congrats. T I M E O U T Burlington rockers The Dakota, who were planning to begin recording their debut C D this week, have to postpone a week or two because bassist/guitarist Dan Schwartz has developed carpal-tunnel syndrome. But "I don't foresee us taking too much time off," promises Schwartz, who at least gets to celebrate a birthday while resting his arm this week. "I'm sure it's going to be all right." T h e band still expects to get a C D out by spring, and is also considering a move to Philadelphia next year. Stay tuned...

This Friday, for the third year in a row, the trio will lead 40 or so assistant Santas to 25 venues around Burlington, singing carols and passing the hat for charities that focus on children. "We want to make sure they get presents," says Allen, a financial planner at Cornerstone in Burlington. T h e same night, groups they helped start in Plattsburgh and Fort Lauderdale, Florida, will be doing the same thing. In fact, Allen informs, the trio is trademarking the name "Santa Night" and considering going national. T h e fundraiser has been "very successful," Allen says — every person who participates raises at least $100. Talk about hoho-homies. If you're not planning to be

CARRIGAN, CARRIGAN (SoGood Music, CD) — Fans of what is sometimes called the post-punk scene blossoming in Burlington have a lot to be excited about with the self-titled six-song debut release by the local trio Carrigan. Combining myriad musical styles, Carrigan create an uncategorizable alternative to the formulaic, vocal-driven rock on the radio. By utilizing the textures of the vibraphone and programming, the trio brings a more varied palette of sound to the standard drum, bass and guitar format. Carrigan opens with "Forensics," a track that begins with an ominous guitar riff and the swirling brightness of the vibraphone, both played by Zack Martin. The guitar begins to wane, seeming to signal the end of the song, when bassist Jeb Interlandi and drummer Ken Johnson bring it defiantly back to life. Interlandi's driving bass line during the second half of this song is one of the brightest spots on the album. "The Flood" is an example of how Carrigan skillfully avoid predictability in their songs. Once you get comfortable with its trance-like wash of sound, Martins guitar soars above the landscape of noise, reverting back to the previous groove only after you've forgotten it. It's the closest thing to a hook on the album. On "The Good Wine Drunk," Carrigan show their willingness to explore more expansive sonic territory. Featuring guests Valerie Thompson on violin and Mary Elizabeth on cello, the song is as sparse as the preceding ones are dense. The strings rise above the spacious landscape painted by Martin and Interlandi with a lyricism atypical of bands pigeonholed as post-punk. "Hear ye...Hear ye" comprises a repetitive drum beat and looped samples, but it never grows tiresome, which is a testament to the band. Carrigan always add subtle variations to the trance that keeps the sound fresh and the ear entertained.

There is no neat category for this kind of music — call it post-punk, prog-rock, indie-rock or a hybrid of all three. Whatever it is, Carrigan display on their new release the creativity and skill deserving of a wide audience. Keep your eye out for upcoming dates, including a New Year's Eve bash at Halvorson's. —Jason King CHARLIE M E S S I N G , ONCE A ROUNDER (self-released, C D ) ' — Charlie has been "messing" around the Vermont music scene for more than 15 years, the last five or so in the Queen City. His latest effort is a solo acoustic collection of offbeat folk and blues tunes, recorded in tribute to his artistic heroes and mentors, The Holy Modal Rounders. The H M R were Peter Stampfel and Steve Weber, who percolated out of Greenwich Village in the '60s, pouring a blend of traditional folk and off-kilter original novelty tunes. Several of their recordings have recently been reissued on compact disc. Messing performed with Stampfels offshoot group, The Unholy Modal Rounders, for two years in the mid-'70s. Once a Rounder contains several interesting songs from the H M R repertoire. The opening track, a Rounder blues favorite titled "Long John," is classic East Coast blues, executed quite well here, with some additional reverb added on the vocal. Most enjoyable is "Hop High Ladies," with its Celtic roots and a doubled vocal that tempers Messing's uneven singing style. Then there's "Uncle Bob's Corner," another H M R folk novelty staple, written by singersongwriter Michael Hurley. O n this track the voice sounds like an additional instrument, although the slurred lyrics are rendered mostly indiscernible. Where the disc falters is evident in the vocal delivery and phrasing on most tracks, and the lack of anything exciting with the accompaniment. The elementary guitar technique is mostly a meat-cutting rhythm style, with too little of the fingerpicking familiar to acoustic blues listeners. As an example, on the Luke Jordan classic "Cocaine Blues," the dynamic rhythmic interplay between the guitar and voice are only occasionally successful. Though this baby boomer has certainly paid some musical dues over the years, Messing has yet to hone his vocal delivery in a way that allows the listener to connect with the feelings he so valiantly attempts to emote. As a tribute to the Holy Modal Rounders, Once a Rounder succeeds, but just barely. As an interpretation of traditional folk and acoustic blues, many recordings are far more listenable.

CUTTING SOME SLACK
With pedal steel guitar, violins, a
deep love for 70s soul and even a Bon Jovi cover, The Slackers are constantly pushing the boundaries of ska. Owing far more to classic groups such as The Skatalites than the watered-down pop posing as ska today, this sextet has been heralded as "the sound of New York." In fact their rock-steady beat feels fresh off the plane from Kingston. Polish your bowling shoes for The Slackers this Thursday at Higher Ground. The Bazookas and Perfect Salesman open.

B Y M A R C AWODEY cc oung Artist Series, an exhibit to benefit the Landmine Elimination Foundation." Aside from being a mouthful, the title of the current exhibit at Main Street Landing immediately raises a couple questions. First of all, how young are these artists, exactly? Well, the youngest is 10-year-old painter Grace Corcoran Rao. The other four artists are in their twenties — relatively young, but perhaps older than one might have expected. Photographer Jing Q. Hu, 34, has six pieces in the show, but she is not considered to be part of the Young Artist Series. Secondly, what about the land mines? It turns out that Hu, a graduate student . of engineering, is also president of the foundation; 25 percent of the proceeds from any artwork sold will be donated to the worthy cause of landmine elimination. The foundation has not done away any actual landmines yet, but Hu has invented "an antenna that, when used with other apparatus, can detect land mines," according to a press release. Of course, a coat hanger used with another apparatus can 'catch Channel 22 in Morrisville.
,
"The Web," by Peter Johnson, and "Clarendon Station, Washington D.C.," by Jacob Robinson, both capture movement with long exposures. Johnson seems to freeze a passage in time, with his web of swirling red lines that engulf a nighttime patio scene. Its as if someone is waving around one of the Tiki torches that surround the patio, but no figure is apparent. Robinsons poster-sized station has a train pulling out beneath a massive vaulted ceiling. It sweeps leftward at a 30-degree angle, and the fluidity of the train contrasts with the rhythm of the architecture. Rao's work is also fun and interesting — bold and primitive as a child's art often is. "Dog" is the framed pastel of an expressionistic canine. Rao keeps her colors simple and clean, layering red over blue in the foreground, and gives her dog a nice blue collar and pink tongue. Sculptor Katherine Clear is, without question, the most substantive and original artist in this show. Her eight wall sculptures are about four feet tall and shaped like oval mandalas — a form that also represents birth and female sexuality. Clear has rendered this image with concentric ovals in a variety of textures and materials.
Regarding the "youth" f four out of five of
these artists
ndy Duback explains
that artists under 40 are not taken
seriously enough
Beyond the demographic and political elements, "Young Artist Series" is also about art. Hu's photographs include technically strong color pictures of Yosemite that look like large postcards. They're in box frames that give them a solid presence, and the colors are vibrant. "Yosemite Falls" has a sloping composition and could easily hold its own in National Geographic. Three other photographers in the exhibit are equally competent. Andy Dubacks works are a little less traditional than the others — essentially portraits with inner and outer layers. A semi-transparent inkjet print of a color negative on vellum is suspended over each of the photographs beneath. "Casey Selzer" is a portrait of a youthful artist in his studio, with bottles and jars of paint in the foreground and, angled at the right, an abstract painting on an easel. The artist is at the left edge. Dubacks technique makes the image happily disorienting; the colors are vibrant but a very light value, and his contrasting inner and outer worlds are conceptually intriguing. .
"Punishment" is made of tar and feathers. "Edible" is a perfect union of form and materials, comprising fat rings of bread that bring another layer of symbolism into the piece. "Faithful" is constructed from straw and knotted at four points along its edge and in the interior space. Regarding the "youth" of four out of five of these artists, Duback explains that artists under 40 are not taken seriously enough — apparently Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Modigliani, Picasso, Paula Modersohn Becker, et al. don't count. And at any rate, he adds, "I challenge you to find examples of artists in their twenties who have been." All hype aside, this is a reasonable little show by Vermont artists with good intentions. And if the Young Artist Series eliminates a few landmines along the way, so much the better. ®

rswiiw BEHIND ENEMY LINES**1'2 A sort of Top Gun-mzzxs-Iron Eagle bit of military action that unfolds with machinelike efficiency, Behind Enemy Lines is unlikely to join the ranks of the great war movies of all time, but proves a pretty fair time all the same. What you see in the trailer is what you get. No more, no less. Owen Wilson gives a serviceable performance as a cocky fighter pilot who's grown weary of the routine aboard an aircraft carrier. His big beef is with the irrelevance of his mission. There's a war going on in Bosnia. A peace deal is in the works. His job is to fly high above the action but stay out of it. His tour of duty is just about up and he's decided to call it quits. Gene Hackman's the admiral in command of the ship. He tries to talk Wilson into changing his mind, but without success. Grumpy about not getting his way, Hackman puts the pilot on Christmas duty and, in the course of that flight, Wilson and his copilot stray into restricted airspace. Their jet happens to fly over a mass grave, which a rogue military outfit is surreptitiously filling with butchered civilians. Wilson shoots a few pictures with the plane's surveillance camera and, the next thing he knows, forces on the ground are shooting back. A breathtaking aerial ballet ensues in which the American jet does a high-speed dance with an insistent surface-to-air missile. In the end, the jet is unable to out-maneuver the heat-seeking device and the pilots are forced to eject. They land on a hillside not far from the grave and attempt to radio for help. Before that's possible, though, the bad guys arrive, the Geneva Convention gets thrown out the window, and Wilson has no choice but to run for his life. Two sources of drama propel the picture from here on: On one level, there's the elemental game of cat and mouse in which the pilot tries to elude his trackers. On another, frustration builds to an explosive level as Hackman's hands are tied by higher-ups who don't want him fouling up the fragile peace process by taking troops into hostile territory to rescue a single soldier. Wilson makes his way to one preordained pick-up point after another, only to be told eventually that nobody's coming for him after all and he'll have to make his way to a safe zone on his own. Will he stay one step ahead of his pursuers? Will Hackman decide to put his career on the line and go after Wilson anyway? Will audiences find the whole Bosnian, Serb, Croatian thing confusing, not to mention quite literally yesterday's news? Well, let me just say this about that: Behind Enemy Lines is not great art. Nor is it "ripped from the headlines," as writers of TV and movie promotional copy are so fond of saying about anything even remotely topical these days. It is the height of formula filmmaking, and its plot points are about as hard to see coming as the Macy s Thanksgiving Day Parade. At the same time I have to admit that, simply on the level of an extended chase, the picture is effective. Your pulse will pound. Your knuckles will whiten. Your seat will be soaked. Oh, that's only the Diet Coke you spilled. Never mind. It's almost as enjoyable an entertainment as Bat 21, in fact. You remember Bat 21\ It told exactly the same story, was made 13 years ago and starred, yup, Gene Hackman. If anyone associated with Behind Enemy Lines imagined for a moment it offers anything more, I'd have to question their military intelligence. But when it comes to mindless, adrenalin-pumping fun, hey, I'd have to say mission accomplished. (Z)

A
ppropriating hipster lingo from the jazz world, a group of performers collectively known as the Rat Pack captured the country's imagination four decades ago. "You dig?" was the rhetorical question that punctuated their conversations. At the nucleus of "the Clan," as it was also called, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Peter Lawford and Sammy Davis, Jr. collaborated on Ocean's 11 in 1960. A remake of the classic caper movie — about World War II buddies who reunite for a daring casino robbery — opens December 7 with George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Don Cheadle and a retooling of the title into Oceans Eleven. Yet even this star-studded cast, directed by Traffics Steven Soderbergh, might find it difficult to match the crazy charisma of the original. The Rat Pack was graced by personal and cinematic cool. As they liked to say, life was "a ring-a-ding-ding." In the winter of 1959-'60, Las Vegas was the stomping ground for this popular clique with a rather unforgiving motto: "If you're in, you're very, very in. And if you're out, you're dead, Daddio." The Clan would spend several hours shooting by day. But, after sundown every night, they were drinking, singing, dancing, telling jokes and engineering high jinks until dawn in two wildly improvisational shows at the Copa Room of the Sands Hotel. Those bashes are fondly remembered in a memoir by Rat Pack "mascot" Shirley MacLaine, who sparkles during an uncredited cameo in the earlier film: "It was fun and totally madcap," she writes. "There was an energy that has never been duplicated since." Someone aptly called Oceans 11 "a 10-million-dollar home movie." Oscar-winning director Lewis Milestone, whose credits included All Quiet on the Western Front, was up against a force of nature in Vegas. "The spontaneous humor on the stage and on the set was unparalleled," MacLaine writes. "The director never knew what was going to happen or how a scene would be played on a given day." The plot centers on a crime planned by Danny Ocean, played by Sinatra, who recruits his old 82nd Airborne Division pals now scattered throughout the country. The New Years Eve heist calls for a midnight power blackout, allowing the suave antiheroes to simultaneously hit five Sin City gambling Meccas with military precision. Once courageous in battle, these men have never quite readjusted to civilian life and sign on with Danny in hopes of solving their problems. Diagnosed with a terminal case of "the Big Casino," as he puts it, ex-con Tony (Richard Conte) needs the promised milliondollar share to support his young son. Vince (Buddy Lester) wants the money so his wife can stop working in a burlesque house. Jimmy (Lawford) hopes to end a dependency on his wealthy socialite mother, played by real-life wealthy socialite Ilka Chase. Music by Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van Heusen — absent in the 2001 version — spices up the proceedings. Davis periodically belts out a mystifying theme song, "E-O-Eleven." Martin, as a lounge singer, does a nice "Ain't Love a Kick in the Head." The Oceans 11 subplots all serve the story. Danny still loves his estranged wife (Angie Dickinson, in the babe role now assigned to Julia Roberts). Jimmy's oft-married mother is engaged to Duke (Cesar Romero), a man with underworld connections. With the kind of ambiguous ending that's always been rare in Hollywood, the original screenplay offered smart, albeit now outdated dialogue that is not likely to be repeated in the remake's contemporary setting. The Rat Pack seduced the nation in ways that helped shape American history. They campaigned so tirelessly for presidential candidate John F. Kennedy — Lawford's brother-in-law — that the group began calling itself "the Jack Pack." The bond between Camelot and the Clan was shattered in 1962, however, when Kennedy distanced himself because of Sinatra's Mafia ties. Ol' Blue Eyes blamed Lawford, who then became an outcast, Daddio. They continued shooting movies that were increasingly forgettable, until the Rat Pack craze was eclipsed by the onset of a counterculture with its own rules for being cool. For a while, though, the high-living entertainers had themselves a ring-a-ding-ding time. SHORT TAKES: J. Hoberman m a k e s the distinction between disaster
movies and "Movies and the Disaster" in a lecture about posc-9/i 1 filmmaking on Friday at Middlebury College. Martin Scorsese called the Village Voice film critic "one of the most intelligent and thought-provoking critics in the United States." He's published seven books on film, including one on Dennis Hopper... Richard Leacock is an 80-year-old camera man and director who figured prominently in the pioneering days of documentary film during the late 1930s. He's arguably best known for collaborating with D.A. Pennebaker on Don't Look Back, the bittersweet 1967 Dylan travel- \ ogue, and on Monterey Pop, the seminal 1968 rock doc. He'll give a free public talk at Burlington College on Tuesday. ®
Dear Cecil, Vacationingfriendsare always trying to give me a "gift" bottle of pure Mexican vanilla extract that they've purchased in a Tijuana pharmacy. I've heard that the Mexicans have a toxin in their vanilla that damages the liver. Are my "friends" out to get me? — Fred Rowley, Santa Clara, Utah Could be, but I'm having a tough time imagining the scenario. "Fred, you son of a bitch, you crossed me for the last time! Myrtle, hand me the Mexican vanilla." But you heard right about toxins. Vanilla fragrans, as genuine vanilla is known, is native to Mexico, and well inro the 19th century makers of high-quality Mexican vanilla had a lock on the business. But competitors elsewhere in the world began stealing market share, and in the 1880s the first synthetic vanilla was developed An,Germany. During the Mexican Revolution of 1910-'20 fighting devastated the gulf coast, the center of Mexican vanilla cultivation, and production dropped sharply. Faced with a flood of cheap ersatz product and little of the genuine article to sell, Mexican producers began making synthetic vanilla themselves. But Mexico was still known as the home of the world's best vanilla, so the producers didn't admit what they were doing. They disguised the artificial taste by adding coumarin, an extract of the tonka bean, Dipteryx odorata. Coumarin tastes and smells just like vanilla, only more so. One whiff and your rube tourist from Utah is likely to say, "Whoa, that's good!" No, that's bad. Coumarin has been shown to cause liver damage in lab animals. The Food and Drug Administration restricted it starting in 1940 and banned it outright from all foods and food additives sold in the U.S. in 1954. Many other countries have done likewise. Coumarin has its uses. A derivative called dicumarol is used as an anticoagulant (blood thinner). Under the trade name "warfarin" it's used to poison rats by causing internal bleeding. The 1983 article in FDA Consumer

b o N N i e s
I'm getting this from'says "there has been no indication that coumarin itself produces this blood-thinning effect in humans." Ha. Another FDA Consumer article about the dangers of herbal tea told of a young woman who drank large amounts of a home-brew tea containing coumarin and suffered abnormal menstrual bleeding. Yes, it's poison. On the plus side, it's very reasonably priced. You can get a quart for only a few bucks. Most of the vanilla sold in Mexico is synthetic, though it doesn't all have coumarin in it. Telltale signs of the fake stuff: clear, or dark and murky (the real stuff is amber colored and translucent), low alcohol content (genuine vanilla extract contains at least 35 percent ethyl alcohol), laughably low price. Pure Mexican vanilla is available, but you're better off getting it in this country. Warning: It won't be cheap. Dear Cecil, Whenever I pop popcorn in those handy bags in the microwave, the instructions printed thereon make it very plain as to which side is up (and the other side down) while being popped. Why is that, and what would happen if I cannot follow these simple directions (other than the usual chewing out from the wifej? —John, via the Internet

put your one piece of toast in the ONE SLICE slot, either. According to the nice lady from Jolly Time, a leading maker of microwave popcorn, the bottom of the bag contains a reflector that helps spread the microwave energy, which comes from the top of the oven, uniformly throughout the product. Turn the bag upside down and the popcorn will still pop, but it may take longer, and some of the corn may be dried out or scorched. Still, if you want to walk on the wild side, be my guest. QUESTIONS WE'RE STILL THINKING ABOUT Dear Cecil, Since light has a particle nature, and since photons have mass, and since our sun has been shining for 15 billion years, why aren't we knee-deep in photons? — GGlatfel, via the Internet Foolish creature. Photons don't have mass. Since Vatican II even Catholics don't have mass. Still, we and the entire universe are knee-deep in photons in the form of the background radiation that elevates even the frozen depths of space to 3 degrees Kelvin. You say you're tired of the constant drone of existence and you just want to get away from it all? Sorry, bub. You can't. — CECIL ADAMS
I admire your restless, rebellious spirit, John. I bet you don't

long night's journey Long before they could fire up the television, people relied on their wits to get through the night. "Night Fires" was kindled 18 years ago with that self-reliant spirit in mind. To mark the winter solstice, director Marianne Lust crafted an annual theater event that combines sound, song, poetry and storytelling from around the world. "The the.me, very loosely, is some kind of journey into the dark back out to the light, whatever it means for the story that year," Lust told the Barre-Montpelier Times Argus. Appropriately enough, this year's performance remembers a time when Christians, Jews and Muslims lived .in a fruitful peace with one another. Happy holidays, indeed. "Night Fires" Winter Solstice Celebration. Friday, December 6. Unitarian Universalist Church, Rutland, 8 p.m. $9. Saturday and Sunday, December 7 & 8. Unitarian Universalist Church, Burlington.

snap judgments Good photos are like fine wine: They improve with age. And Michael Sacca and Elizabeth Billings were definitely thinking long-term when they rounded up the residents of all 17 towns in Caledonia County for a series of group photographs — community portraits, you might say. The resulting collection, unveiled this week in the newly renovated Caledonia County Courthouse, bears witness to a moment in history that one day will be viewed as vintage Vermont.

One Potato Two Potato is the name of her new cookbook, but you can expect the versatile vegetable to pop up in nearly a dozen dishes at an edible promo event prepared by Williston chef and author Molly Stevens.

Where there's a quill, there's a way. . . Or so it seems for the erethizon dorsatum — a.k.a. porcupine. What they lack in speed and agility, the spiny creatures make up for in determination. Ask any Vermont hiker who has sacrificed a salty boot to the resourceful rodents. Or take it from Dr. Charles Woods, who lives up to his last name in a lecture on the natural history and ecology of our local porcupine population.
When it comes to deciphering The Lord of the Rings, Michael Stanton is, well, a wizard. For years, the retired English prof taught Tolkien and other science fiction and fantasy writers at the University of Vermont. His new book, Hobbits, Elves and Wizards, is a guidebook to the Middle-earth world. "There are chapters on elves, dwarves and so on, as well as language and religion," he says of his "quasi-academic" read on the epic that paved the way for Harry Potter. He's even optimistic about Lord of the Rings — the movie — to be released later this month. "I think its going to be pretty good," he suggests, "and I'm a purist."

blow by blow "Salsa dura" is not something you eat with tortilla chips. It's the unique — albeit spicy — mix of Latin music practiced by trombonist Jimmy Bosch. The Hoboken-raised musician got his start blowing alongside stars like Ruben Blades, Eddie Palmieri, Ray Barretto and Manny Orquendo. "It's about keeping the tradition," he says. But don't be surprised if he swings from sultry guajiras to down-home Bronx-style funk, then heads downstairs to the FlynnSpace for a postperformance Latin dance party. Jimmy Bosch Salsa Band.

"Talking about himself... talking about all of US."
he ends up (Washington
Post)
Brilliant writer, actor, and performer Spalding Gray returns to the Flynn after a four-year absence with his latest monologue, a touching and funny account of one day with his wife and three children in a small town on eastern Long Island. It begins with the sun coming up over the Old Whalers Church and ends with Gray being kicked into sleep by his infant son. In the tradition of James Joyce's Ulysses and Thornton Wilder's Our Town, Grpy's latest work finds larger truths about life, love, and longing in the microcosm of a single day in a small town.

No, it's not. I sent your truck over to the shop for massive repair work.

I was forced to "cannibalize" a few parts for some of the vehicle's other systems.
You used those parts to rig the headlights with homemade grenade launchers!
Well, Sir.Jt seemed the only humane thing to do, considering that I didn't have any way to stop the darn truck.

Dec 6 - D e c 1 2
c i ?
ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): "Man will occasionally stumble over the truth," Winston Churchill once opined, "but most of the time he will pick himself up and continue on." In other words, its difficult for us to even accidentally be relieved of our delusions. They're so ingeniously constructed and hypnotically attractive that it's amazing we ever see anything as it really is. Now get out there, Aries, and refute everything I just said. Whenever you trip and fall over the lumpy truth, have the good sense to stay down there and examine it.
TAURUS
' a*
(Apr. 20-May 20): I wonder how skilled you are at living on the edge between the light and dark, between delirious joy and haunted dreams, between forever and never. I guess we'll soon find out. People less interesting than you might try to guilt-trip you into giving up ilie virtuoso balancing act. There may be similar pressure from the voices in your head that represent the hidebound views of your relatives and ancestors. But I urge you, Taurus — in fact I dare you — to explore the itchy, intriguing adventures that are only available outside the niches everyone wants to herd you into.
GEMINI
(May 21-June 20): I won't be surprised if you spot your doppelganger this week, Gemini, or encounter an alter ego with a destiny that's parallel to yours. In addition, I fully expect that you will have an enlightening encounter with a shadow and an endarkening run-in with an idol. The astrological omens further suggest that you will either serve as a stand-in or substitute, or else enlist someone to serve as "a stand-in or substitute for you. Given the mirror-like nature of reality in your vicinity, I wonder if you might even brush up against an authentic "soul twin" who'll offer unprecedented opportunities for synergy and symbiosis? Be alert for the theme of "the

—
your home of its deadweight.
double" everywhere you go.
CANCER
(June 21-July 22): If I were your agent or your mom, I'd declare this Cancerian Makeover Week. First I'd call in a masseuse to pound out all your knots. Then I'd send you to the hairdresser, nutritionist, psychotherapist, career counselor and the clothes store to change you around in every which way. I'd make sure you were denied everything that's even half-bad for you. I'd force you to commune with five experiences guaranteed to stir up your receptivity, reverence and self-healing. In conclusion, Cranky Crab, I'd stop at nothing until you were thoroughly debugged, unlocked and retooled. L E O (July 23-Aug. 22): The Web domain name www.sacrednectar.com does not yet belong to anyone. I suggest you consider buying it. Other domains you might think about acquiring are www.frothypara dise.com, www.honeyedsanctuary .com, www.midairkiss.com, www.juicybaptism.com or www.slip perygodlove.com. Those are all poetically apt names for the Web site you may be moved to create after you live through the exotic adventures of the next few weeks.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I strongly suggest you move the furniture around. In fact, why don't you move some of it right through the door and out of your life? This might whet your appetite to launch a fullscale purge of everything that no longer belongs under your roof: all the mismatched dishes, stained rugs, fading mementos, libido-less "joys," cracked mirrors, numbing symbols and obsolete dreams that have lost their meaning. It is time, homeboys and homegirls, for you to liberate
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The messenger god Hermes will be your archetypal companion for the next two weeks, Libra. As a facilitator of communication, he will help you lubricate your connections, strengthen your web of allies and bring disconnected parts of your life into greater harmony. It's important to know that Hermes can also be a tricky thief. To be completely faithful to his spirit, you should also engage in a benevolent robbery or two. Suggested targets for your heists: a burden one of your companions is having trouble getting rid of; an illusion obstructing your ability to get closer to a valuable collaborator; and a symbol of an old mess that's preventing you from leaving the past behind.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The paycheck my feminist friend Riana earns as a stripper is 10 times what it was when she took care of senior citizens. Her increased income and leisure time allow her to devote herself to writing poetry with an intensity that was impossible before. Since she made the job transition, she has published two books. But is there a price to pay for using her body in a way that's at odds with her politics? Has she lost her self-respect? Has her soul been twisted? Not as long as she mines the contradictions for her poetry, she says. Now let me ask you, Scorpio: If it's true that any job you do requires some compromise, what kind of job and compromise would best serve your creativity? Begin this meditation now, and keep it burning brightly throughout 2002.
S A G I T T A R I U S (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): To convey the true spirit
of your current astrological omens, Sagittarius, I need to borrow three German slang expressions. Here we go. 1. Du wirst Baume ausreissen. The literal meaning of this prediction in English is "You will rip out the trees." In other words, you will have amazing amounts of energy, initiative, and strength. 2. Du wirst aus dem Hiiuschen sein. The literal translation: "You'll be out of your little house." To say it another way, you will expand beyond the confines of your comfy little boundaries so as to embrace a bigger and more complete embodiment of happiness. 3. Du bist ein Gliickspilz. Literally: "You are a lucky mushroom," which implies that you are about to experience unexpected good fortune.
C A P R I C O R N (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Good news, Capricorn. In order to make it through the imminent rite of passage, you won't have to endure whipping, spanking, yelling or passive aggressive manipulation. In fact, this turning point may be the sweetest, richest ordeal you've ever had — and a prototype of the kind of breakthrough that will become more and more common for you in the years to come. Instead of having to learn your lesson through the shock of misery and pain, you are about to leap to a new level of mastery on the strength of your commitment to smart love and unsentimental integrity-

PISCES
(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): D o I detect a streak of megalomania running through you these days? Have you been instinctively pumping up your estimates of how much you're worth? Do you find yourself fantasizing about how much better the world would be if everyone were only more like you? If so, Pisces, I definitely forgive you. In fact, I'll go further: I actually encourage you. After all, it's the astrological month of Sagittarius, when you Fish have a cosmic right to stretch your limits as you enjoy uncanny levels of confidence. Please feel free to lionize, exalt, magnify, glorify and even aggrandize yourself.
