<letters> ARTISTIC LICENSE I was stunned to read that BED management censored the painting done on their property [â&#x20AC;&#x153;Inside Track, September 28]. Apparently they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get it. One would hope that most art is passionately inspired. What could be more passionately inspiring than war and peace? Picassoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Guernicaâ&#x20AC;? comes to mind here. If they want only â&#x20AC;&#x153;pretty pictures,â&#x20AC;? they could hire a muralist and specify their order.

But when next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Art Hop arrives, they should decline participation.

MISTAKEN ABOUT AIKEN U.S. Senator George Aiken did indeed advise Lyndon Johnson to â&#x20AC;&#x153;declare victory and get outâ&#x20AC;? of Vietnam. But he did so in 1966, not in 1968, as Peter Freyne had it in his Oct. 5 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Inside Trackâ&#x20AC;? column. The quote from his speech in the Senate made it into Bartlettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Familiar Quotations.

Bold (not to mention wise and prescient) advice for 1966, given that popular opinion didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really swing dramatically against the war until the following year.

NATURE CALLS Americans are now living in the grandest fashion. Most have cable TV, air-conditioning, cellphones and a couple of SUVs. Even when your house floats away because it was built in a wetland, you get a new house or a big check. But in Vermont they want you to tear it down at your own expense.

WRITE STUFF Margot Harrison deserves my sincere gratitude for her review of my most recent collection of poems, Ghost Pain [â&#x20AC;&#x153;Satanic Verses?â&#x20AC;?

October 5]. What I value is less Ms. Harrisonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good opinion (though needless to say Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy enough to have that) than the intelligence and understanding of her response. That response constitutes by far the most penetrating review of the book to date. Seven Days and its staff continue to shine in my eyes.

REEL CHOICE? I am new to the Burlington area, and I wonder why all of the movie theaters (except for the Roxy) have the same movies? Is there no spirit of competition, or are they all TORONTO owned by the same people?

PREVAILING WINDS Lester Brown [â&#x20AC;&#x153;Forecast: High and Dry,â&#x20AC;? September 28] offers a worthy warning on water. However, I

take issue with the characterization that he and others make of those opposing or otherwise raising questions about wind projects, especially those that would bring development into backcountry areas.

Lester told Seven Days, with a chuckle, that such people are probably urbanite transplants interested in preserving pretty places.

While this may be so, I also know of many people who a) support renewables, b) live the kind of rural lifestyle it will take to sustain the planet, and c) oppose industrial-scale wind development in remote mountainous regions.

While such areas may be where the

wind is, in our region, areas such as East Haven in Vermont or Reddington in Maine also represent our best chance for protecting and restoring numerous ecological values â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including the water resource Lester Brown identifies as a top priority.

As we consider energy development, we also have to return to the insight of E.F. Schumacher and the basic question he posed: Have you considered scale? Lester Brown is right to say that wind developers include many who welcome development in their own front yards.

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s start with them. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not endanger the backcountry we hold

in trust and in common. Vermont and Maine and other rural states should adopt legislation that would ensure protection for our backyards and encourage renewables development as part of the developed, and not the undeveloped, landscape.

Andrew Whittaker KIRBY

POPULATION PROBLEM Kudos to Pamela Polston for the story on eco-guru Lester Brown [â&#x20AC;&#x153;Forecast: High and Dry,â&#x20AC;?

September 28] â&#x20AC;&#x201D; very flattering and generally well done. But there are two important points to note.

First, comparing the oil crisis with the water crisis is sensational but wrong: Oil is depleted and converted to environmental pollution to global warming to flooding of all coastal metropolises. Water, by contrast, is recycled ad infinitum. There is only one water, a.k.a. the hydrosphere. The water in the hydrosphere will neither increase nor decrease, barring a cataclysmic, cosmic catastrophe. Therefore, all water â&#x20AC;&#x153;shortage,â&#x20AC;? like all politics, is local. There are droughts and floods and water

pollution, but taxing â&#x20AC;&#x153;whatever degrades natural resourcesâ&#x20AC;? is neither a solution nor the most politically unpopular solution.

Second, the only real solution, and politically far more unpopular, is population control. Luckily, the Chinese have implemented this, and when they become the dominant superpower, hopefully they will succeed in implementing global population control to achieve an indefinitely sustainable global population. Medicine has lengthened the human lifespan and reduced infant mortality. Medicine has also developed contraception, vasectomy, tubal ligation and safe abortion, but a small, irrational fringe, called conservatives, have wrested the levers of the political machinery by manipulation and fraud, so that population control is not even discussed. Time to set aside oil crises and water shortages and other red herrings and address the real problem and its only possible solution.

CORRECTIONS: The drawing for the Burlington Earth Clock that accompanied last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eyewitnessâ&#x20AC;? column was credited to Andrea Morgante.

The image was actually the work of Diana Griffith. We apologize for the error.

A letter to the editor last week claimed that a historical photo we ran with our September 21 theater review of Tom Crean was not him, but another Antarctic explorer, Ernest Joyce. Our original Crean caption was correct. The image we used was taken by Endurance photographer Frank Hurley in 1915. Joyce does not appear in any of Hurleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pictures, because he was not on the Endurance; he was laying down stores on the other side of Antarctica for Shackletonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transcontinental trek that never took place.

The ECHO Center could still be in a tough stretch. Many of its winter visitors are schoolchildren, and although school bookings appear to be in good shape, tight budgets and high fuel prices may force some schools to cut back on field trips.

Private charitable donations are expected to be lower for all nonprofits this year, too, as Hurricane-relief efforts soak up much of that money. The Chronicle of Philanthropy reports that charitable donations for the nation’s largest natural disaster

have topped $1.7 billion, far outpacing the rate of giving for both the Asian tsunamis and the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Groups like the United Way are reminding donors not to forget their local nonprofits.

ECHO — an acronym for Ecology, Culture, History and Opportunity — was a $14.5 million project that was 10 years in the making. About half of the center was funded with federal dollars secured largely through the efforts of Senator Patrick Leahy, for whom the building was named. m

WINOOSKI CONSTRUCTION

Rotary Snafus Send Drivers Around the Bend

BY CATHY RESMER

WINOOSKI — Commuters in Chittenden County know by now to avoid the construction zone around Winooski during rush hour — it can take 10 to 20 minutes to drive half a mile down Main Street and over the bridge to Burlington. Winooski’s new rotary, unveiled three weeks ago, was supposed to improve traffic flow. City Manager Gerry Myers insists that it will — he and his downtownredevelopment team just have to work out a few kinks first.

On a walking tour of the innovative downtown project one recent afternoon, Myers pointed out only one lane is open so far around most of the giant oval. The second lane — and the public park in the center of the rotary — should be finished in time for

BURLINGTON — They’re blaming it on the weather: After a summer of gorgeous days, and sagging admissions, ECHO at the Leahy Center for Lake Champlain is feeling the pinch. The nonprofit has had to eliminate two positions on its 16-member staff, including its director of external affairs, and is looking for new sources of revenue and other ways to cut costs. Apparently, the management and board for the lake aquarium and science center on Burlington’s waterfront were a bit too optimistic about their projected attendance goals for this year.

“We had a pretty tight summer here, to be perfectly frank, and had to do some restructuring,” says Phelan Fretz, ECHO’s executive director. “We’re now 28 months old and still figuring out where we sit in the landscape and where the attendance is really going to be.”

One of the chief culprits, says Fretz, was last summer’s beautiful weather, which was a boon to local businesses and attractions that rely on outdoor recreation, such as Vermont’s state parks, but a bust for indoor venues such as aquariums and museums. About half of ECHO’s visitors come in the summer, Burlington’s peak tourism season. “Some people talk about having a rainy-day fund,” says Fretz.

“We have a sunny-day fund.”

According to Fretz, about 50 percent of ECHO’s $1.5 million budget comes from admissions, retail sales and other on-site income, such as rental for private parties and meetings. The rest comes from government and foundation grants, private donations and support from ECHO’s various community partners.

In ECHO’s first year, it had about 150,000 visitors, Fretz reports. This year, the center only expects to see about 100,000. The drop-off is significant, but not atypical. New museums, aquariums and science centers usually see their attendance fluctuate in the first three to five years after opening, as their novelty wanes. But Fretz claims that ECHO is still exceeding industry trends; other facilities of its type often experience a 60- to 80-percent reduction in visitors by the three-year mark.

“It’s a wonderful, beautiful building on the waterfront in Burlington, but it’s still a nonprofit and, basically, we still subsidize everybody who comes through the door with contributed dollars,” Fretz says. In fact, about 10 percent of ECHO’s attendance is either free or at a reduced admission. “That’s a big commitment and we don’t want to lose that commitment. It’s part of being in the fabric of the community,” says Fretz.

Fretz doesn’t foresee more layoffs in the coming month, but he and the ECHO board are looking at other ways to cut expenses, such as reducing winter hours or finding new exhibits that will attract return visitors.

“It’s not that something terrible is happening,” Fretz says.

“It’s just some shuffling out and making sure that we’re very fiscally prudent, but at the same time maintain the guest experi-

the downtown’s completion ceremony in mid-November. That should speed things up.

He admitted he still has some public education to do. Myers has been appearing on TV and before community groups to explain how to use a rotary. Rule number one: Always drive counterclockwise. “Don’t laugh,” he says. “People go the wrong way. I’ve observed it several times.”

He also reminds drivers that people in the circle have the right of way. Standing on an asphalt island at the edge of the rotary, Myers points out multiple drivers who yield to let other motorists enter the circle. That’s not how it should work. He notes that’s the kind of behavior that causes traffic backups. “It will be faster once people start following the rules,” he says. And he points out that traffic is already faster than it’s been since construction started last fall.

That’s true during most of the day, but not at the height of rush hour. Then, even practicing proper rotary etiquette doesn’t make much difference. Traffic often backs up along both sides of the bridge, and all the way around the rotary in the morning. Long lines form along Colchester and Riverside Avenues in the evening.

Myers blames much of this on the traffic light on the Burlington side of the bridge. It creates a bottleneck that’s tough to clear.

To fix the problem, the city of Burlington has to replace the mechanical traffic controller that powers the lights, which currently has only one setting. A new controller will have multiple settings for different times of the day. But Burlington Public Works engineer Justin Rabidoux says the new signal won’t be in place “until next construction season.”

The device is part of the Riverside Avenue construction project, which, coincidentally, also got underway this year and has contributed to slowing commuters. “We’re aware of it,” says Rabidoux of the issue with the light. “We can and will make changes shortly.”

Both Rabidoux and Myers say they’ve been communicating about the situation, and that the process is moving as quickly as possible. Too bad they can’t say the same about the traffic. m

After the Storm, Vermonters’ Hearts Go to the Dogs

BY PAMELA POLSTON

BARRE — Like FEMA to New Orleans, the horse trailer filled with crated canines came late.

But for would-be doggie adopters in central Vermont last Sunday, it was better late than never.

At the Barre Fish & Game Club, more than 70 men, women and children showed up at noon prepared to take home a pooch from a Louisiana shelter. Most of the 40-some expected animals had been “surrendered” by owners who had no way to care for them in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina; others were rescued strays. By the time the dogs reached Barre, they would have been in cages for more than 30 hours, moving northward to an unknown fate.

In the large room lined with mounted antlers, stuffed animal heads and pelts, people milled about, sat at long tables or helped themselves to free snacks.

While awaiting the transport’s scheduled 1 o’clock arrival, they listened attentively to representatives from the Central Vermont Humane Society, the receiving organization, and Project Starfish, the rescuers.

“We’ve done transports before, but this is what you call a pooch clearinghouse,” suggested Dana Starr, business manager for CVHS. She then went on to caution the crowd about the possible physical and psychological condition of the animals, and the sensitive handling they might need.

“Expect the unexpected,” she said. “These dogs have been through hell.”

Starr delivered a crash course on how to approach fearful, nervous dogs. A CVHS medical technician, there to examine the dogs, elaborated on the likely presence of heartworm, a parasite common in the South that is fatal if untreated. The medicines might

rains along the way. The crowd at the Fish & Game Club dispersed, but returned at 6 to find the police-escorted trailer. The dogs were uncrated one by one, leashed and allowed to pee and poop in the grassy field. Some of the animals were happy, wagging

More than 70 men, women and children showed up prepared to take home a pooch from a Louisiana shelter. cost upwards of $500, Starr noted. “That’s why we need your generous donations today!” she encouraged cheerfully.

She then introduced three thirtysomething women from Project Starfish, a nonprofit hastily formed less than a week after Katrina struck New Orleans. “I kept watching the news about all these people being evacuated and losing their homes, and didn’t hear anything about the animals,” said volunteer Heidi Poor, explaining her motivation to get involved. She joined project founders Kara Peterson and Cynthia Sweet in traveling to Louisiana and Mississippi to rescue animals. Now the women, all from the Boston area, are focused on moving pets from two shelters to willing recipients across the country. So far they have transported more than 500 dogs, as well as a handful of cats and one pig.

As it turned out, the transport to Barre was five hours late, reportedly waylaid by torrential

and licking these kind new humans; others were trembling with terror and needed a lot more reassurance. None was aggressive — not even two sorry-looking pit bulls.

A vet examined each animal, and in the end all but three were adopted. One elderly dog with possible heartworm, and a feverish puppy, had to go to the animal hospital. The third, a Chow mix, smelled really bad, Sweet explained; he’d had diarrhea in his cage. “I’m sure after he gets cleaned up, someone will want to take him home,” she added confidently.

As long as there are willing adoptive and foster families, Starr said, the CVHS will accept more animals. In fact, she noted, “Another transport is coming in a few weeks.” m To adopt a pet, or make a donation for animal rescue efforts, visit: http://www.cvhumane.com or http://www.projectstarfish.org

MEDIA SYMPOSIUM

Journalists Reveal the Source of Their Ethical Angst

BY CATHY RESMER

PLATTSBURGH — The complexities of the Valerie Plame case sugar down to a crucial journalistic dilemma: where to draw the line between news gathering and enforcing the law. Robert Freeman, executive director of the New York State Committee on Open Government, spoke about freedomof-information laws last Friday as part of SUNY Plattsburgh’s inaugural Symposium on the First Amendment and Media Ethics.

Dave Heller, the silver-haired staff attorney for the Media Law Resource Center, addressed the issue of reporter’s privilege. That concept enables journalists to use confidential sources without having to reveal their names to government officials or private interests.

The idea that sources can speak “off the record” is generally accepted as a component of democracy, protected by the First Amendment’s promise of “freedom of the press.” It encourages government officials and whistle blowers — such as Mark Felt, Watergate’s “Deep Throat” — to leak information to the media.

But it’s constantly tested. New York Times reporter Judith Miller was recently imprisoned for refusing to out a confidential source who leaked the identity of CIA agent Valerie Plame. She finally revealed her source last week, after being freed from jail, when he released her from her confidentiality pledge.

Heller likened Miller’s jailing to events in dictatorial regimes in Latin America and Southeast Asia, calling it “unseemly” and “a tremendous black eye.”

But Miller and other reporters in the Plame case aren’t the only ones embroiled in anonymoussource disputes; Heller regaled

the crowd of three dozen New York and Vermont journalists and journalism students with the lesser-known story of an Alabama football coach who sued Sports Illustrated. The magazine ran a 2003 story claiming the coach got drunk and had sex with two women he met at a bar. Heller described S.I.’s account in detail, down to the magazine’s assertion that one of the women yelled out the school’s motto during the act.

Heller explained that S.I. relied heavily on an anonymous source, and the coach is now suing the magazine to find out who that was. He claims he was too drunk to have sex that night, and he hadn’t taken his Viagra. That got a few laughs.

Less amusing was the fact the courts have demanded S.I. reveal the source’s identity. Alabama, like 30 other states, has a shield law that protects reporters from having to divulge the identities of confidential sources (New York also has a shield law; Vermont does not). But Heller explained that Alabama’s shield law doesn’t include magazine journalists. S.I. would have been screwed if the coach hadn’t settled on Monday; attorneys declined to say whether the magazine had revealed its source.

Settled or not, the case highlights the vulnerability of the reporter’s privilege, even in states where it’s ostensibly protected.

Said Heller: “Reporters and their lawyers around the country are worried about the legal uncertainty that surrounds [it].”

Heller pointed out that current legal battles have sparked discussions in newsrooms across the country about the use of anonymous sources. Mike Donoghue,

»news FROM THE DESK OF . . .

Public libraries are all about recycling — how better to conserve resources than to circulate the same books among multiple readers? Now Burlington’s Fletcher Free Library is applying that principle to its physical infrastructure. On Monday, when workers demolished the 25-year-old, pre-computer-era circulation desk, they saved its solid oak components for use in a new desk. When that one is unveiled next month, it will not only be ergonomically engineered, but will improve access for children and people using wheelchairs. The desk will also have a third checkout station and a snazzy countertop of Vermont green marble.

The $100,000 project, which comes on the heels of a $35,000 facelift for the men’s restroom, is part of the final phase of a $612,500 grant from the Freeman Foundation. Still to come: makeovers for the reference and children’s services desks; consolidated shelving for CDs, DVDs and videos; and lots of new furniture.

The whole deal should be complete by the end of the year. Until then, expect a little noise.

RUTH HOROWITZ

adjunct professor of journalism at St. Michael’s College and a sports reporter for The Burlington Free Press, added that his paper has revisited the anonymous-source issue. Interviewees, he said, “sometimes want to tell you as much as they can off the record, but we’ve been instructed to stay on the record as much as possible.” Donoghue said reporters need to work harder to press sources to speak openly — or “pump ’em as hard as you can,” he suggested.

Donoghue also raised another issue: “Who is a journalist?” he asked. Are freelancers, volunteer writers, citizen journalists and bloggers protected, too? Yes and no, answered Heller. He explained that shield laws and courts generally extend the privilege to “hotnews reporters” first, but other writers can also be covered. As for bloggers and citizen journalists — people who submit articles to the websites of traditional newspapers, or to community-run sites such as iBrattleboro.com and iBurlington.com — that’s still being worked out in the courts and in Congress. Senators are considering a national shield law, but Heller says some of them won’t sign it if it includes protections for bloggers.

In a second session on blogging, Heller noted that it takes time for the law to catch up with changing technologies. “It’s not always easy when you have judges who don’t own a computer trying to decide the issues,” he quipped.

But Heller said the status of electronic publishers is a growing concern, as more and more news goes online. “Without some protections for newsgathering,” he said, “the First Amendment becomes quite hollow.” m

AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS

With God on His Side

Y

ou can almost hear the Bob Dylan harmonica from his haunting ’60s tune, “With God on Our Side”: News agencies around the globe reported a story last weekend that must have been music to the ears of James Dobbins, Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell and America’s millions of religious fundamentalists. Our commander-in-chief George W. Bush admits to getting his marching orders from the Big Boss himself — Almighty God! The source is a three-part BBC Middle East documentary titled “Elusive Peace: Israel and the Arabs,” in which we finally learn why our president lied to the American people about the reasons for invading Iraq. Certainly, the families and loved ones of the almost 2000 American soldiers who have died there, and the 14,000 wounded and maimed, would like to know.

Publicly, Mr. Bush said it was because of Saddam Hussein’s WMDs and Iraq’s ties to 9/11 — claims every American knows were lies.

But take heart, brothers and sisters, for the Lord works in strange ways. Sure, lying is a sin, but what if a lie is required to pull off the mission that God has sent one on?

If the end won’t justify the means, then what the hell will?

In the BBC documentary, former Palestinian Foreign Minster Nabil Shaath recounts how, during a June 2003 meeting between Bush and Palestinian leaders, George W. told them, “I’m driven with a mission from God. God would tell me, ‘George, go and fight those terrorists in Afghanistan.’ And I did, and then God would tell me, ‘George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq,’ and I did.”

Surely, one can just as easily imagine God telling the young George W. as he graduated Yale back in 1968, “George, do not go fight the communists in Vietnam.

Dodge that draft! Support the war, but ask Daddy Bush to slide you into the Texas National Guard instead. Trust me. It’ll all work out!”

And, sure enough, it did.

White House spokesman Scott McClellan blew off the BBC “God told me” report just as he blew off British reports last May of the infamous “Downing Street Memo.”

That July 2002 “eyes only” British government memo, recounting high-level secret talks between British and American officials, informed Prime Minister Tony Blair that Mr. Bush was determined to invade Iraq and topple Saddam Hussein regardless of the facts.

“Bush wanted to remove Saddam through military action, justified by the conjunction of terrorism and WMD. But the intelligence and facts were fixed around the policy,” stated the secret memo.

Got that? The facts were fixed around the policy?

Yes, indeed, the Lord works in strange ways.

Like the Downing Street Memo, the recent news that our president told Palestinian leaders two years ago he is merely carrying out God’s will has so far failed to penetrate the “patriotic” U.S. corporate media’s censorship screen. Its function, apparently, is to filter out disturbing

foreign news that puts the administration in a bad light.

“Absurd,” says the White House. But in Bob Woodward’s book, Plan of Attack, George W. explained his decision to launch the Iraq war by saying, “I was praying for strength to do the Lord’s will. I’m surely not going to justify war based upon God. Understand that. Nevertheless, in my case, I pray that I will be as good a messenger of His will as possible.”

God needs a new messenger, eh?

When we watch our TV news screens and see the violence and mayhem stirred up by religious extremists, we often feel a sense of relief that we don’t have similar fanatics running loose in the USA. Think again.

Since the U.S. Supreme Court stopped the Florida presidential recount in 2000, religious extremists have been running the American government. The president says we invaded Afghanistan and Iraq because God told him to invade!

God, known for his chattiness, probably also told George W. to gut environmentalprotection laws, oppose renewable energy, give millionaires two huge tax cuts, and appoint Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court.

Why? Because it’s clear now that the God George W. has been listening to all these years is a pretty consistent God who obviously doesn’t give a damn.

Deus Ex Machina? — Recent developments in Foggy Bottom signal the emergence of long-awaited cracks in the BornAgain Bush Castle. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, the king of sleaze, has been indicted and forced to step down as leader.

In the Senate, Republican boss Tom Frist is facing two federal investigations for a suspicious financial windfall he recently enjoyed that resulted from his sale of stock held in a “blind trust,” just before the stock’s price fell dramatically.

This all comes on the heels of the shameful White House response to Hurricane Katrina and the Vietnam flashback we’re experiencing called Iraq.

As everyone knows, Vermonters do not have a Republican representative or senator in Congress whom they can contact. The top elected GOP official in Vermont is Gov. Jim Douglas. But Gov. Scissorhands, state chairman of the Bush re-election campaign in Vermont, is rarely challenged on his candidate’s performance.

Given his party’s recent screw-ups, we dared raise the subject at last week’s presser. (By the way, this week’s gubernatorial ribbon-cutting is Wednesday in Royalton.)

“Well,” replied Douglas, “there hasn’t been a determination yet, as far as I know, on the outcome of those situations. A House Majority Leader is, like any American, entitled to the presumption of innocence, and he has strongly asserted his.

So we’ll see what happens. And the Senate majority leader has offered a response to the concerns expressed about the [stock] transaction, and we’ll see what the ethics committee says, so I don’t think we should prejudge them.”

Certainly not. Even Al Capone was innocent until proven guilty.

But despite the DeLay and Frist scandals, Vermont’s Republican governor will also have to walk a careful line on the subject of Mr. Bush as he seeks reelection in 2006. Given President Bush’s record-low approval rating in recent national polls, Douglas was asked if he’d still give Bush a high rating.

“Well, the president’s job is not an easy one,” replied the governor. “He’s got a lot of criticism from the political world, and frankly, from the media,” said Douglas. “The president has a tough job,” continued the Guv, “and [there’s] all the scrutiny that goes with it. He’s certainly, I’m sure, doing his best.”

That’s the scary part.

But how would you rate him, we asked, if a pollster called?

“I think under the difficult circumstances that he’s facing, he’s doing a good job,” answered Douglas.

Well, that marks a noteworthy change. Vermont’s Republican governor used to say President Bush was doing a very good job.

Different Viewpoint — On Saturday, October 29, former clergyman, state senator and Democratic Party Executive Director Scudder Parker of Montpelier will officially kick off his campaign to unseat Jim Douglas in 2006. If elected, he would be the first “Scudder” to become governor. We’ve had a Moses and an Isaac, a Mortimer and a Madeleine, but never a Scudder.

If Scudder hopes to win, he will have to be a bit more talented than Jim Douglas’ last two Democratic victims.

In 2002, Lt. Gov. Doug Racine lacked the required backbone, flip-flopping on environmental positions to satisfy the “business community.”

In 2004, Burlington Mayor Peter Clavelle lacked focus and never developed a clear, concise message that blasted through Douglas’ well-greased armor.

When asked this week to respond to the governor’s comments on President Bush, Parker jumped at the bait.

“I am stunned,” replied Scudder, “that Jim Douglas would say he thinks George Bush is doing a good job. Is this his idea of leadership?”

Apparently Parker, the exminister, is hearing from a different segment of Vermonters than has Douglas, the ex-WFAD radio jock.

“I hear from Vermonters that they are increasingly worried about job security, health care, energy bills for driving to work and heating this winter,” said Parker. “And they are worrying about our soldiers in Iraq, and the losses we are suffering there with no end in sight.”

“What is particularly alarming to me,” said the Democratic challenger, “is that many of the ‘difficult circumstances’ Mr. Bush faces are mostly of his own making, either by poor planning and administration, or by just doing the wrong thing. Does

Mr. Douglas believe in accountability?”

Not sure at the moment.

Shumlin Sees the Light — Officially, Peter Shumlin said he was dropping out of the race for the Democratic congressional nomination because of family and the desire to stay closer to home.

Unofficially, make no mistake that Putney Pete saw the writing on the wall. Peter Welch has this one wired. Former Dean for America staffer Zephyr Teachout has been considering a bid, but with Shumlin out, she concedes the “one girl vs. two Petes” dynamic has changed. It’s highly unlikely Zephyr will run in what would be a hopeless chase.

So it’s shaping up for a Democrat Peter Welch vs.

Republican Martha Rainville final. But what about Progressive State Rep. David Zuckerman?

Davy the Prog has a congressional campaign website but hasn’t formally jumped in. Our Democratic sources say he won’t.

Zuckerman’s “candidacy,” they say, is merely a vehicle to promote a deal with the Democrats. First, he tried to get the Democrats to cave in on statewide Instant Runoff Voting.

That went nowhere.

Then he floated a deal under the terms of which Davy the Prog would stay out of the congressional race if Democrats stay out of the Lite-Gov’s race. That would pave the way for Progressive Anthony Pollina to finally have a decent shot at winning something.

But it ain’t going to happen, folks.

Independent Bernie Sanders, godfather of the Vermont Progressive Party without ever becoming a party member, has made it clear he will support the Democratic candidate for his seat, Peter Welch. Bernie and the Democrats have never been tighter.

In return, the Democratic Party, both in Vermont and D.C., will not mess up Ol’ Bernardo’s clear shot at the U.S. Senate. Would Zuckerman go against the godfather’s wishes and campaign against Bernie’s chosen successor?

“Bernie’s endorsement is not going to make or break whether I run,” Davy the Prog told us.

Sure, whatever you say.

But Pollina has much better name recognition, noted Zuckerman, than Democratic State Sen. Matt Dunne, who’s considering taking a shot at the Lite-Gov race. Even a few Democrats think Anthony’s earned the shot, but they’re not the ones running the party these days.

Meanwhile, with Shummy out of the race, his campaign manager Kate O’Connor is out of a job. Ms. O’Connor says she’ll now have more time to devote to organizing the journals and notes she kept during HoHo’s presidential run.

“I’ve been working on putting them in order just in case someday, someone wants to know the real story of the rise and fall of Dean for America!” said Kate.

Bonne chance!

Where’s Bernie? — Look for a more moderate Bernie Sanders, folks, as he zeroes in on the big one: a seat in the U.S. Senate. With two conservative Republicans, Rich Tarrant and Brian Dubie, in the running to battle him, there’s no need for Bernie to play leftist radical in this one.

In fact, “Inside Track” has learned that Ol’ Bernardo was attending a Tuesday fundraiser in his honor at the Cambridge, Massachusetts, home of Abby Rockefeller — yes, one of those Rockefellers.

Locally, Sanders’ media event this week will be a talk to sixth-, seventh- and eighth-graders at Edmunds Middle School. The only socialist in the U.S. Congress “will discuss nutrition and local agricultural issues with the students.”

Viva la revolution!

Media Notes — A couple Vermont news junkies did a double-take this week when they noticed the byline of veteran Montpeculiar Statehouse reporter Ross Sneyd on a fresh story out of New Orleans.

In fact, it was the hot story of the week, an interview with the 64-year-old retired, black schoolteacher brutally beaten by three white New Orleans cops in the French Quarter. The bloody assault on Robert Davis was caught by an Associated Press video crew.

The three cops have been charged and suspended. Of course, had the press not been there, they’d still be serving and protecting the citizens of New Orleans.

Sneyd told “Inside Track” he’s in New Orleans working out of a temporary AP newsroom set up in the luxurious W Hotel in the French Quarter. He expects to be there for 10 days, “mostly editing, but when needed I’m getting thrown a few stories.”

On Monday, Ross got thrown the beating story and interviewed the victim at the scene of the crime. Sure beats a Statehouse health-care hearing, eh?

And, by the way, it’s Ross’ first visit to the Big Easy.

“It’s a surreal city,” he writes in an email. “There is debris everywhere. And yet the central business district and the French Quarter, largely spared the flooding, are coming back to life.

There are tourists in the French Quarter. There is electricity.

There’s traffic. And yet, there is devastation. Two cars sit next to the hotel where I’m staying crushed beneath bricks that fell from the façade. Driving in from Baton Rouge, I saw houses blown off their foundations. Blue is the dominant color on roofs all over the city, the color of tarps covering them.”

Other impressions of New Orleans?

“A few more bars than Montpelier,” he replied, “and a lot more beads.”

Mr. Sneyd is due back at his usual Capital City haunts sometime next week. m “Inside Track” is a weekly column that can also be read on www.sevendaysvt.com.

theborowitz report BY ANDY BOROWITZ U.S. Drops SUVs on Insurgents Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld announced today that the U.S. military was taking advantage of American car dealers’ huge inventory of unsold sport utility vehicles by dropping the SUVs on insurgent positions across Iraq.

The defense secretary revealed details of the new offensive, called “Operation Iron Junk,” at a briefing today at the Pentagon.

“Car dealers can’t get rid of SUVs, and we can’t seem to get rid of those pesky insurgents,” Mr. Rumsfeld told reporters. “Hopefully, by dropping SUVs on insurgents, we will get rid of both.”

Operation Iron Junk began over the weekend when a C-17 Globemaster III cargo plane pounded insurgent positions in the town of Qaim near the Syrian border by opening its cargo hold and dumping 14 fully loaded Lincoln Navigators on foreign fighters and suspected al Qaeda operatives.

“There is nothing scarier than seeing one of those mammoth gas guzzlers falling from the sky,” chuckled Mr. Rumsfeld. “I wish I’d been there!”

Mr. Rumsfeld said that while most of the SUV strikes have been successful, a few have missed their mark, including a sortie on Sunday in which a Ford Expedition landed on an unoccupied Toyota Prius, instantly crushing it.

But on the whole, the defense secretary was prepared to call Operation Iron Junk a success: “This is by far the most mileage anyone has ever gotten out of an SUV.” Elsewhere, in a possible breach of the separation of church and state, Rep. Tom DeLay (R-Texas) introduced a bill in Congress calling for God to smite a Texas grand jury with locusts.

Curses, Foiled Again Police investigating a theft at a convenience store in Brewer, Maine, identified Matthew French, 21, and Gina Nelson, 22, as their suspects after the store’s surveillance tape showed Nelson distracting the clerk while French slipped $50 worth of cigarettes down his pants.

Police learned their names because the clerk remembered while reviewing the tape that, just before the theft, the pair had signed a petition inside the store, giving their names and addresses.

Detective Russell Ross said that the clerk told the man she knew it wasn’t a gun, but he insisted that it was, and the two began arguing, then scuffling. “During the scuffle, she felt something sharp poke her,” Ross said. “She reached over and grabbed a baseball bat she had behind the counter and started waling

THE WORD ON LOCAL LIT

Out of South Africa

W The Persistence of Memory

by Tony Eprile, W.W. Norton, 297 pages, $14.95.

hat would it be like to have a perfect memory — to be incapable of filtering one’s past through a haze of nostalgia? Worse, what would it be like to have a perfect memory and live in a country whose culture and institutions are based on a past that never was?

That’s the premise of Bennington author Tony Eprile’s dazzlingly complex novel The Persistence of Memory, which appeared in paperback last July. (On its hardcover run, it was named a New York Times Notable Book of the Year and received the Koret Jewish Book Award.) The novel’s hero, Paul Sweetbread, is an urban, Jewish South African who comes of age in the 1980s, during the last throes of apartheid. He’s gifted and cursed with a perfect memory, which makes it impossible for him to banish such painful images as his father’s suicide.

It also makes him politically dangerous. In a country where schoolteachers try to convince children that white settlers never interbred with the African natives, Paul looks at the history books and sees otherwise. Unable to “learn the national dysmnesia, the art of rose-colored recall,” he soon realizes that only by forgetting can he become “a good son, a good South African.” The novel reaches its climax when Paul’s photographic memory makes him the most credible witness to an act of atrocity — one that’s based in fact.

The Persistence of Memory reads like an autobiographical novel, surrounding us with the intimate sensory details of Paul’s childhood in a way reminiscent of Proust’s Remembrance of Things Past. But Eprile, who left South Africa when he was in his teens and came to the U.S. in 1970, isn’t Paul.

Where Paul’s comfortable middle-class family isn’t politically aligned, Eprile’s was. His father edited the first multiracial newspaper in South Africa, and the family once hosted Nelson Mandela when he was a fugitive from the police.

Writing the book, “I had to find ways to explain things I knew a lot about without getting overdidactic,” Eprile says. He dates the novel’s genesis to 1990, when events in South Africa made him feel “as if reality was running ahead of my imagination.”

(The country officially ended apartheid that year and held its first democratic elections in 1994.)

Returning from a visit to South Africa, Eprile read A.R. Luria’s The Mind of a Mnemonist, a nonfiction account of a man tormented by photographic memories. Thus Paul Sweetbread was born. “Having a character with a perfect memory allowed me to have a lot of fun with the book, exposing the absurdities of the cultural mythology that apartheid created,”

which Paul participates as a conscripted soldier. It’s a chapter of history with which few Americans are familiar. In 1974, as the U.S. emerged from Vietnam, South Africa became embroiled in a “Nam” of its own — Namibia, where it fought an extension of the Cold War against Soviet-backed Angolan liberation fighters with support from the C.I.A. U.N. intervention ended the conflict in 1989, but not all the young South Africans were ready to lay down their weapons. “They were told they were fighting Communism for survival and the future of the free world,” says Eprile, who talked to ex-soldiers as a journalist in the ’90s.

“Then there’s an agreement out of nowhere that we’re ending it. It made them ask, what was the point to start with?” The book describes a massacre of disbanded African soldiers; Eprile says it’s based on several that took place during “nine days of ferocious fighting when the war was really over.”

“One of the points I was trying to get across,” Eprile says, “is what [war] does to the people who fight. The public should be aware of what price those soldiers paid, for our indifference or our nationalism. Some of the young men of my generation were severely damaged by that war, and it hasn’t been acknowledged.”

“It was very chilling to revise the novel and see the build-up toward the invasion of Iraq,” Eprile continues. “There are similarities. South Africans were promised that [the war] was going to be over in two weeks.” He notes that a large number of former South African defense force soldiers from the Namibia campaign have been employed in Iraq by security firms such as Blackwell.

When Paul appears before the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the advocate for the opposition casts doubt on his crystal-clear memory of wartime events.

Eprile says. “He can ask questions that are uncomfortable without his necessarily having a political stance to jump from.”

How did Eprile create Paul’s childhood in such detail? “A lot of it comes from an early interest in nature and being a naturalist,” he says. “That attention to detail that naturalists engage in, I was interested in applying to fiction.” Though the book is “definitely not” autobiographical, Eprile acknowledges that “people who know me well have noticed certain patterns of thought that are mine” — such as Paul’s habit of digressing. Paul’s capacious, often rarefied vocabulary is Eprile’s too, he says — “I’ve had it as both a compliment and a complaint that people need to use the dictionary when they read the book.”

One aspect of his protagonist’s experience that Eprile had to research was the “hidden war” in

The Persistence of Memory is riddled with paradoxes, which Eprile describes as his literary stock in trade. Paul’s dead father loved insects, yet made his fortune as an exterminator. One of the novel’s deepest insights is voiced by one of its most brutal characters — Paul’s commanding officer, the ruthless and charismatic Major Lyddie.

In such a world of twists and turns, is it possible to know the truth? When Paul appears before the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which held nonjudicial hearings in the early 1990s to unearth the dirty secrets of the apartheid era, the advocate for the opposition casts doubt on his crystal-clear memory of wartime events. “Nobody has cornered the market on truth,” the lawyer declares, in an Orwellian moment. “You believe your propaganda and I’ll believe mine.”

That cynicism resonates in today’s America, where a surprising majority of people claims to see small difference between news reporting and partisan propaganda. As Eprile shows, “reality-based” views were rare in apartheid-era South Africa. (As part of his army service, Paul learns to film carefully edited “documentaries” about the occupation.) But Eprile’s novel suggests that to deny the possibility of knowing the truth is to dodge personal engagement and responsibility. “I think that truth rises out of perspective, but it isn’t as relative as cultural relativists want to make out,” Eprile says. “If it’s all relative, you don’t have to take responsibility for your actions.”

Eprile came to Vermont eight years ago to teach at Bennington; his wife’s family also lives in the area. Although his novel is a vivid evocation of the arid landscape of Africa, he’s taken well to colder climes, and says he appreciates Vermonters for their combination of “goodheartedness and a skeptical frame of mind.” One of Eprile’s ongoing literary projects is a novel about Rudyard Kipling’s four years in Dummerston, where he wrote The Jungle Book — an odd episode in the life of the most famous chronicler of the British Empire. “It raises issues of exile and the attractions Vermont holds for people from other countries,” Eprile says.

While he’s writing that, maybe more Vermonters will check out Persistence — a sly, personable novel that ultimately packs a big punch, making the history of a country halfway across the world seem both real and close to home.

Crowded venues testified to the success of last month’s Burlington Literary Festival. But there are plenty more opportunities to see local authors in person. Archer Mayor, one of Vermont’s favorite mystery writers, will be at Kingdom Books in St. Johnsbury on October 17 at 4 pm. The visit coincides with the publication of Mayor’s newest Joe Gunther novel, St. Albans Fire. Instead of reading, Mayor will “mostly talk — about how he got the plot ideas for this one, where the research took place, how he feels about his characters,” says Kingdom Books co-owner Beth Kanell. “It’s always a great conversation when he’s here.” m

poli psy

BY JUDITH LEVINE

ON THE PUBLIC USES AND ABUSES OF EMOTION

Body Politic

C

all me a meat puppet, but I like my politics corporeal. Before the Internet, activism meant bodies in a room, arguing, scheming, flirting, drinking. Taking on a task, you made a commitment to people who could hold you accountable. The “movement” was a network of thousands of rooms, thousands of relationships.

One commitment you made was, literally, to move your body out of the room and into the street, voices and fists poised for raising.

It still thrills me to be on the barricades, inside a beast of many bodies. So I signed up to join United for Peace & Justice’s September 24 march on Washington to end the Iraq war. The papers might report a crowd a tenth its real size, the TV news give equal time to the 39 counter-demonstrators.

The government would likely ignore us. (Leaving town, Dubya averred that everyone is entitled to his or her opinion.) But we would have an effect — a crucial one, now that fear and disaffection are the Bushies’ best weapons.

If nothing else, a demonstration tells its participants they are not alone. The people united shall never be defeated. Solidarity forever. This knowledge enables them to make those slogans true.

It can’t happen online. Howard Dean and MoveOn’s Eli Pariser claimed during the 2004 elections that they’d invented a virtual political community unlike any in history. When it came to mustering the teams and tabulating the canvassing sheets, though, live kids and union members did it the old-fashioned way.

After the elections, I attended a MoveOn “meetup,” where little groups across the country watched a computer map light up with other meetups, then watched Eli talk, then voted on what to do next (repair voting machines? save the environment?).

MoveOn sends an email promo, you type in your name, press Send and, presto, you’ve fulfilled your civic duty.

There was no way to discuss how to accomplish anything. Eli would get back to us.

And from time to time, he drops me an email, to which I respond, or not. MoveOn turns out to be a communications tool, not a community. And in what community it does create, activism is like online dating. No hard feelings.

As for the former cyber-candidate, he can still be found on the web, making wishy-washy statements for the Democratic Party.

On September 24, I didn’t make it to Washington. My group, Take Back the Future — about 40 writers and artists from New York, my part-time home — boarded a reserved Amtrak car in Penn Station at 6 a.m., alongside a clutch of Queerleaders from Burlington.

At 6:15 we budged — 10 yards — then backed up. Every half-hour after that, a conductor offered information, much of it contradictory, about faulty wires in the tunnel, repairs, consolidation of trains.

Each dispatch ended with the assurance that we’d be on our way in 20 minutes.

The Queerleaders took out their garbage-bag-plastic pom-poms and cheered (“U-G-L-I! They ugly.

Uhn-uhn, they ugly! G-R-E-D! They greedy. . .”).

Someone called Amtrak on her cell and learned that “Poli Psy” is a monthly column that can also be read on www.sevendaysvt.com. To reach Judith Levine, email levine@sevendaysvt.com.

a power line was down in New Jersey, halting all southbound travel. This was news to the conductor.

A rumble was rising among us. Factions were arranging car rentals. Our affinity group, which in various incarnations had marched together for 30 years, needed to act.

At 9, I stood on a seat and tried to quell rumors of a conspiracy any more sinister than the Republican Party’s to overthrow the U.S. government by privatizing it out of existence. By 9:10, we had consensus. The Amtrak people, through no fault of their own, couldn’t be trusted. More delays were inevitable. We’d reach D.C. in time to catch our train home.

By 9:30, with our bagels wrapped and signs in English, Spanish and Arabic retrieved from the overhead racks, we had disembarked and started organizing. Some of us talked up the would-be protesters in the terminal. Others called the press. The Queerleaders ducked into phone booths and emerged with pink hair and pleated skirts.

By 10, 60 marchers were on Seventh Avenue and 34th Street, chanting, “Money for trains, not for war!” Shoppers stopped, drivers honked. The New York Times sent its guy, NBC its gal. Writers

for The New Yorker and London’s TLS were on our train; they took out their notepads.

That night, NBC gave us equal time with the 300,000 anti- and 39 pro-war marchers in Washington. Next day, the Times ran a photo of our signs and a quote to the effect of “Money for trains, not for war.”

“Joining” MoveOn or another online activist group is like using an Apple computer or wearing Nike shoes — what brand manager Douglas Atkins calls “joining a brand.” The brand sends an email promo, you type in your name, press Send and, presto, you’ve fulfilled your civic duty. An auto-reply arrives, thanking you for your opinion — a receipt. The “community” is as big as a consumer demographic, and no bigger than an email box.

Hannah Arendt wrote about the oikos, the forum in which speech becomes “deeds.” The web, we are told, is the forum of the future. But too often, online speech swallows itself; it can’t emerge as deed. In a train, a terminal or on the street, bodies meet to act. This form may seem to take us back from the future. But, on the ground, we can seize the day — to take back the future. m

If you are what you play, what does the electronic-gaming boom say about early 21stcentury society? That we love techno-glitter and special effects. That we crave competition that comes with the risk-deleting option of re-spawning. That we still love old-fashioned fantasies. That we expect the convenience of entertainment — and companionship — at the flip of a switch, and at any hour. Also, that lawmakers, educators and other would-be modifiers of behavior continue to play catch-up with the real arbiters of culture: creative capitalists and their legions of eager customers.

This week we look into various aspects of egames. Cathy Resmer checks out Burlington’s new gaming lounge (p.28), visits a vintage arcade-game collection (p.30) and steps into the energetic world of Dance Dance Revolution (p.29). Ken Picard drops by the Richmond offices of a computer-gaming magazine (p.36), and asks whether a military-recruitment videogame makes sense — or just dollars for its developers (p.26). And we debut a new electronic-game review column, entitled “Game On.” Look for it below and then monthly hereafter in Seven Days.

Game review: Death Jr.

D STORY

DAVID THOMAS Death Jr. PSP $39.99 Rated T for Teen.

Top of the World A BILL KERN FILM

Don’t Fear the Reaper eath we fear.

Death Jr., maybe not so much.

I mean, look at that face, or at least that cute little baby skull of his. And the precious, teensy scythe he carries. This miniDeath, or “DJ,” as friends and family call him, isn’t so much scary as he is cuddly and perhaps a bit macabre. His diminutive size is a perfect fit for the tiny worlds of the PSP. Which is a good thing because Sony has been promising big thrills for the portable system which, up until now, have all looked a little small once you got the games up close to your face.

DJ, on the other hand, starts out small and grows on you. By combining toy-like

Vermont International Film Festival Saturday, October 15th at 4:00 pm The Roxy Cinema

World-travelers and mountaineers are drawn to the Himalayan Mountains, some in search of adventure, others on a spiritual quest. simplicity and charm with bigger-than-life characters and metaphors, DJ seems like, well, a Tim Burton film. Nightmare Before Christmas, anyone?

Seriously, look at DJ’s pal Stigmartha — the girl with holes in her hands that bleed when she’s nervous — and tell me that Burton is not this game’s godfather, illegitmate or not. Smith and Weston — the cojoined mad scientists? Meat Land, the beefflavored theme park? This game isn’t just influenced by Burton; it’s a veritable homage.

Still, if you’re going to ape someone’s

oeuvre, it might as well be a kooky genius who tends to make interesting, if hollow, films. And what Death Jr. shows is that a style which can get stretched to translucent meaninglessness on the big screen goes down with a concentrated wallop on a screen the size of a couple of matchbooks.

Resting on the playful darkness, wry graveyard humor and freak-show social commentary, DJ adds a pretty standard selection of action-adventure-game elements.

When school chum Pandora tries to open a magic box, we can pretty much anticipate what comes next: evil unleashed, friends trapped in distinctive worlds and the scattering of valuable objects that we must collect.

The levels feature the kind of visual variety that makes exploring amusing — like finding catacombs hidden under a drab suburban landscape and accessed beneath a BBQ grill. And the music pushes along the happy-go-lucky weirdness the game strives so hard to achieve.

The only real trouble comes from the title’s ample hacking and bloodletting. Of course, it’s hard to argue the violence issue when the protagonist is Death’s little boy and the bad guys are quite literally demons.

This problem isn’t narrative at all; it’s purely biomechanical.

The action in the game gets quite intense, and while button-mashing has never fallen out of fashion for the true gamer, trying to keep up the necessary rhythm of mayhem for this title turns your hands into arthritic crustacean claws. In no time at all, DJ ends up with yet another colleague — you as Lobster Boy. Not that it matters much. DJ is still one of the best games yet for the PSP — a platform still trying to reach its potential. And as far as the lovable DJ himself, clearly his creators have big plans. You can already pick up plush DJ dolls and toys. The inevitability of Death, in this case, is that we will see more of him in the future. m

Playing Army Priming future recruits with simulated combat

F STORY

KEN PICARD

ull Spectrum Warrior was the U.S. Army’s strategy to get the biggest bang for its training simulator buck.

Unfortunately, it was the video-gaming industry that scored the win and the American taxpayers who took the hit.

In the multibillion-dollar world of video games, simulated gunplay is about as old as it gets, and the “firstperson shooter” is the virtual blueprint for any number of video games.

Likewise, in the drill-intensive world of the U.S. military, daily life is a constant dress rehearsal for actual warfare — at least, when it’s not involved in the real thing — and simulators have long been an essential tool in that training.

So it was inevitable that war games and video games would eventually find one another, especially since they target the same demographics. On July 4, 2002, the Pentagon unveiled the video game America’s Army: The Official U.S. Army Game, online and in CD-ROM format.

website. “To all you newcomers to AA, this is the place to be!”

Capitalizing on the game’s success, and recognizing that many recruits would rather play a video game than read an Army manual, the Pentagon set its sights on commissioning an even more effective and realistic video game/training tool for its troops. Full Spectrum Warrior — in which the Pentagon invested $4.4 million to help develop — was billed as “the most realistic portrayal of infantrylevel urban warfare, with unique tactical-action gameplay.” The product hit the streets in June 2004, but unlike America’s Army, it came with a price tag for civilians: $49.99.

At first glance, FSW seemed to live up to the buzz that surrounded its predecessor. Experienced players say that, unlike a standard arcade game, FSW offers a more realistic version of combat’s violence — for example, it takes fewer bullets or hits of shrapnel to get killed, weapons run out of

for the game’s developers but left the Army with a sub-par training tool.”

Earlier this year, Taxpayers released a report revealing how FSW failed to live up to its intended purpose as a realistic simulator of realworld urban-combat warfare. In 1999, the Institute for Creative Technologies (ICT), which is based at

National Training System Association, told Taxpayers that the game “represents a training tool of limited value.” Similarly, Lieutenant Colonel James Riley, chief of tactics at the Infantry School at Fort Benning, Georgia, and one of the primary overseers of the development of FSW, said the game was “incredibly

Though visually spectacular with excellent commercial viability, “Full Spectrum Warrior” was a less-thanstellar military training tool.

America’s Army was designed as a realistic simulation of what it’s like to enlist and train in the military.

Players progress through a series of individual and team-building training scenarios that include the use of “real” military weapons and tactics, advancing through cooperative games-playing until they reach the level of Green Beret.

America’s Army is free to anyone who is 13 or older. According to the official website, recruiters don’t have access to information about its users — unless they volunteer it. Needless to say, the game offers plenty of opportunities for players to learn more about the Army, including the location of the nearest enlistment office.

The Defense Department hasn’t published any data on the effectiveness of America’s Army as a recruitment tool. But since the game’s release, nearly 6 million users have registered on its official website.

America’s Army has since been updated at least 20 times and is ranked among the top five online computer games of all time. “Gaming is culture!” shouts a posting in the tournament section of the America’s Army

ammunition more quickly, and random acts of violence are punished.

However, regular users also complain that it doesn’t allow player-to-player competition. And, after the game has been played through once, the computer’s tactic never changes, which lessens its replay value.

Nevertheless, Full Spectrum Warrior has won more than two dozen awards from computer-gaming magazines, as well as a “four out of four” rating from Playboy magazine and “five out of five” from Maxxim.

PC Gamer called it “an intense and demanding simulation of modern urban combat.” Globe Technology praised it as “a game without precursor and brimming with innovative game play.” And Gamers Mark described it as “intense, authentic, immersive, sometimes comical and most importantly, just a fun game.”

According to the report, the Army awarded ICT a $45 million grant to develop various military projects, including FSW. The final product was released in 2004.

That’s not all. Taxpayers also discovered that not only did the FSW project lack sufficient military oversight to make it a meaningful and useful training tool, but the contract with its private developers did little to ensure that taxpayers got the best possible return on their investment.

Although the U.S. Army put up $4.4 million for the game’s development, the U.S. government has yet to receive reimbursement or royalties on

that investment. The U.S. government even has to pay Microsoft an Xbox licensing fee for every copy of the game delivered.

Despite such shortcomings, in November 2004 the Army awarded ICT another five-year, $100 million contract to come up with new virtual simulators.

Among the ideas that were floated was an initiative to build a real-life “holodeck,” the ultra-realistic fantasy simulator that was regularly featured on “Star Trek: The Next Generation.” Dr. Harry Kloor, a NASA consultant and writer for “Star Trek,” told Taxpayers for Common Sense that the holodeck idea was a “fraud” that could never be built.

Apart from the unrealistic expectations of computer games as realistic simulacrums of war, there is another unanswered question: What’s the value of training U.S. military personnel with tools that anyone in the world, including America’s enemies, can easily download with nothing more than a laptop computer?

“They’re really just teamwork-building things,” explains Steve Bauman, editor-in-chief of Computer Games magazine of Richmond. (See related article, p.36A.) “They’re certainly not teaching you how to use weapons. They’ll be of no benefit to you in a real-world situation.”

The real point of games like America’s Army and Full Spectrum Warrior, says Bauman, is their ability to “brand” young people on the idea of the U.S. Army, making it a regular part of their daily lives. That said, Bauman is also skeptical of video-games critics such as Colonel David Grossman, a psychologist and former Marine Corps “killologist,” who suggests that firstperson shooter games desensitize kids to violence and teach them to accept killing as normal.

“I think there’s a disconnect there,” says Bauman. “Using his logic, playing NBA Live is training me to be an NBA player. And I’m thinking that’s not gonna happen.”

Or, as Ben Hatfield, a digital media critic and computer artist in Missoula, Montana, puts it, “If the armed forces were advertising the life of a soldier being akin to videogame experiences, I would call that false advertising . . . The emotions in warfare situations cannot be simulated in a game with no real-life consequences.”

Until, that is, the Army releases Full Spectrum PostTraumatic Stress Disorder. m

First-Person Shooter on Church Street Turning on to Burlington’s new e-sports lounge

t’s 10:30 p.m. on a Friday night, the U.S. is at war with China, and I’m in the Marine Corps. Alpha Company has dropped me near an enemy bunker somewhere in a rural part of China. I STORY look out over the muzzle of my rifle at CATHY some trees on the bank of a river. All RESMER around me, soldiers run and fire their weapons. I hear them shouting.

IMAGE I’m supposed to find and kill MATTHEW Chinese soldiers, but before I can even THORSEN figure out how to fire my gun, a sniper picks me off. I hear the bullets whizzing past and my own agonizing groan as I fall. Luckily, in 15 seconds I respawn for another go.

Such is my halting entry into the virtual world of Battlefield 2, a firstperson-shooter videogame available at Algebars. Burlington’s new videogaming lounge opened on the second floor at 70 Church Street, near the corner of Bank, in mid-August.

Algebars is not an arcade, like Pizza Putt; players don’t wield plastic toy guns surrounded by sirens and blinking lights. They sit quietly at minimally lit, glass tables before sleek, top-of-the-line Alienware PCs. It’s quiet, except for the sound generated by the lids of automated wastebaskets that open when someone walks by.

The gaming stations are complete with ergonomically correct chairs — black, of course — miked headphones and titanium mousepads. Each of the 24 set-ups — clustered in circular pods of four — costs about $5000 a pop.

The view of Church Street from the

I

rounded second story windows is spectacular, as is the picture on the 50-inch, flat-screen plasma TV perpetually playing movies in the far corner. But those perks are no match for what’s on the smaller screens. Videogames like Doom III and World of Warcraft are so advanced they’re almost as visually compelling as movies. Software companies might spend $10 or $20 million developing one game, and hire teams of writers and artists, as well as programmers, to make them interesting. Thanks to the Internet, you and your friends can play together in an endlessly fascinating virtual world. Movies end; the action in these games can go on forever, and you get star billing.

At $5 an hour for game time — less if you buy more hours in advance, more if you include a pizza or some caffeinated drinks — playing here seems like a sweet deal. To the gamers, anyway.

Algebars is one of two gaming lounges in the Burlington area; the other, a utilitarian gaming and office center called Elite Online Access, is tucked away on Dorset Street in South Burlington. Gaming lounges haven’t exactly taken off in Vermont the way they have in places like Florida and Texas. The state is about 10 years behind the tech-savvy times.

Gaming and gaming lounges are even more popular abroad. While it’s estimated that roughly half of Americans play videogames, they’re a national sport in South Korea, where 70 percent of the population has access to a broadband Internet connection. That country has

three cable-television channels that broadcast online gaming matches.

Gamers there play in tournaments for up to $4.4 million in prize money.

Construction is now underway on the world’s first e-sports arena, to be completed in 2008.

Not that you need a stadium to play videogames. Most people access them on computers or Xboxes and PlayStations at home. But, as Algebars co-owner Lauran Burrell explains, “Most people don’t have the kind of computer you need to play these games well.” Burrell and her husband Ross are hoping that gaming in a clean, hip, urban environment might be more appealing to the area’s players, most of whom are between 18 and 30 years old; nationally, the average age of gamers is 30.

The fortysomething husband-andwife entrepreneurs moved here from New Zealand five years ago. They opened Algebars — the name refers to a star in Lauran’s favorite constellation, Orion — because they thought this college town would appreciate an alcoholfree gaming hangout. Eventually, they hope to establish a chain.

Both Burrells are computer geeks; in their commanding corner office, they also run the Global Business Dialogue, or GBDe; Ross is the executive director, Lauran communications director. The organization helps various companies, including Hitachi Ltd., Hewlett-Packard and Deutche Bank, navigate the changing

technological landscape. The Burrells’ work requires travel: In the last few years, they’ve been to Cairo, Taiwan and Kuala Lumpur. This week, they’re headed to Brussels.

Neither of them has much spare time — Algebars is open from noon to midnight, seven days a week, and they’re usually there. But given the chance, they like to play some of the 40 games Algebars offers. In particular, Lauran likes World of Warcraft, or W.O.W., which debuted last November.

W.O.W. — a Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game, or MMORPG — is a universe unto itself.

Unlike Battlefield 2, which anyone can play, W.O.W. requires users to buy their own copies of the game, and pay a monthly fee for an account; you can’t just walk into Algebars and play it.

To understand the game, you need to watch the trailer-like video that explains the back-story. Lauran uses her W.O.W. account to queue it up for me on one of the game terminals. I put on a pair of padded headphones, and listen to the deep-voiced narrator speaking over an epic score. Elaborate shots of the characters and maps of their imaginary homelands fade in and out on the screen. “The tenuous pact between the Horde and the Alliance has all but evaporated,” says the narrator, his voice full of chilling gravitas. “The drums of war have sounded once again.”

W.O.W. is one of Algebars’ most popular games. Several of the 10 or so

male customers this afternoon are playing it, as is Sydney Simoni, the 21-year-old woman with long, pink fingernails behind the front counter. Her undead warlock — a member of the Horde — is flying to Gadgetzan on a wyvern, which looks like a flying lion. It takes awhile to get there, so Simoni clicks onto another screen while she flies, and takes a payment for game time from Brian Whitney. The 18-year-old American Apparel employee is here for a

This kind of interaction bolsters the Burrells’ claims that videogaming — long stereotyped as a solitary pursuit — has actually become a very social activity. Players make connections online with people all over the world, and use games to develop real world and online relationships.

The Burrells have some personal experience in this department; they met in an online chat room in 1996, when Lauran was a lawyer in Chicago. After a few months, she

Gaming addiction is also getting some long-overdue attention. Many of Algebars clients freely admit they have a problem.

Brian Whitney refers to gaming as “my addiction,” in the same half-embarrassed, half-boasting way that college-age binge drinkers talk about theirs. He says he once played W.O.W. for 36 hours straight.

Such sustained play can be dangerous — in August, a South Korean man collapsed and died after 50 hours of gaming; he was

As they chat, Simoni reaches her destination, where she’s promptly attacked by an Alliance character whose screenname appears in red above his head; this is another actual person, playing somewhere else in the world, who has decided to attack her from behind.

“That jerk,” says Simoni, as her warlock respawns. She flips through the list of her W.O.W. guild — her friends who also play — to see if anyone else she knows is online and can help her.

As Whitney sits down at his computer, he asks Simoni who attacked her. “Some knight elf,” she replies.

“I would come and help you,” he says, “but I have no interest in going to Gadgetzan.”

moved to New Zealand to live closer to Ross, and the two married in 1999.

But the pastime’s detractors charge that videogames are too violent and often unsuitable for minors. Witness the recent Grand Theft Auto controversy, which inspired Senator Hilary Clinton to call a videogame-violence inquiry, and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to sign into law a bill criminalizing the sale of violent games to minors.

Algebars carries GTA, but only allows gamers who are over 18 to play it. The Burrells have also created a parental consent form, downloadable from their website for underage customers who want to play games the industry rates T (for Teen) or M (for Mature).

DANCES WITH VIDEOS If you think all video gamers are corpulent couch potatoes, you ought to catch Elliot Levi playing Dance Dance Revolution at Pizza Putt in South Burlington. The wiry, 19-year-old Community College of Vermont student gets quite a workout. “I lost 70 pounds playing this game over the last two years,” he says on a recent Tuesday afternoon. The sweat is literally dripping from his chin.

DDR requires more than just good eye-hand coordination; to win, players have to display fancy footwork as well. The arcade machines come equipped with a monitor, speakers and a dancing platform, which features eight lighted panels, four for each dancer. Players slip tokens into the coin slot, pick a song, then tap the appropriate arrows with their feet as the instructions scroll up the screen.

The game, which debuted in Japan in 1998, has a worldwide following. There are DDR tournaments, and it’s registered as an official sport in Norway. The website ddrfreak.com serves as a fan hub in the U.S. Players can chat in forums, and find the nearest games with a machine locator — apparently there are five in Vermont.

The music on DDR is usually fast and furious, and Levi seems to anticipate all the steps. He plays a lot, especially in the afternoons when the arcade is mostly empty. Today the only other customers are a couple of parents bouncing from the prize cranes to the skeeball machines with their young children, and two of Levi’s friends — Justin Goyette, 20, a CCV chum, and Anu Hedden, 19, a student at the University of Vermont. The three of them avoid the other video games here, but they’re all PC gamers and regulars at Algebars on Church Street.

When Levi and Goyette compete in a two-player DDR game — to several techno songs, including “Burnin’ Down the Floor” — they hop and step so perfectly in sync that they might be auditioning for a boy band.

But they probably would be offended by the comparison. Goyette looks more like a Phishhead, with his scraggly red beard, knit cap and Atari T-shirt over cargo shorts and Gravis sneakers. Levi could pass for a runner in his T-shirt, shorts and Nikes. His brown hair is darkened with sweat.

After a few rounds, Goyette steps off the platform. “Ugh,” he groans, “I’m gonna pass out.”

“Walk it off, walk it off,” coaches Levi, who hardly seems winded. He swigs water out of gallon jug with a Hawaiian Punch label, then completes an impressive freestyle round using all eight of the machine’s panels. “Getting better at it sort of scratches an itch for me,” he says afterward.

So does he ever make it onto an actual dance floor? “Yeah,” Levi says, “about once a year at a techno club.”

the second man there to die this way. And Korean psychologists have warned that they’re treating many more cases of game addiction. This summer China announced new restrictions on gaming. After a few hours of play, gamers there will see a message that says, “You have entered unhealthy game time,” and the benefits they accrue in the game will begin to decrease.

Amanda Crispel, assistant director of Champlain College’s EGames and Interactive Development Program, says addiction is a real problem, especially for American college kids. “It affects more students than I think most people realize,” she says. “It’s not just my gaming students. It’s just part of this culture, this generation.”

Crispel says she has encouraged the

newly-formed gaming club on campus to hold a discussion about addiction. Learning how to shut the computer off is apparently an important part of students’ education.

Crispel, 40, enjoys a little gaming herself. The former programmer, who worked for software company Broderbund, helped develop educational games such as Where in the World Is Carmen San Diego. She recently let her students introduce her to W.O.W. “I’m now a giant cow who’s a Druid,” she says. “It’s part of my role here,” she adds, somewhat sheepishly.

For his part, Ross Burrell says he hasn’t noticed anyone at Algebars “shaking, or sort of rushing to get a computer,” he says. If he did see someone in a game-addled state, he wouldn’t hesitate to boot them. “Just like any other responsible vendor . . . we like people as customers, but we don’t need them that badly.”

He says he hasn’t gotten any complaints from parents yet, except for the ones who don’t want to have to fill out consent forms.

These fast-paced thrill-rides are alluring even to a PC-gaming newbie like me; I haven’t gotten hooked on a videogame since I had to plunk quarters into a machine to play one. I didn’t really know what I was doing when I played Battlefield 2 last week, but every new discovery seemed to compel me to keep playing and try again. Even when I got tired, I kept shooting, sometimes firing at my own soldiers, just to see what it was like to make a kill. When my screen went blank, and the computer told me my hour had expired, I was almost relieved. But I might go back for more. m

Arcade Antiques Bob Volk’s vintage video games win “extra lives”

ob Volk is a lucky man. The 42-year-old Waltham resident is living a Gen-Xer dream: He has his own video games. No, not like Xbox and PlayStation 2, though he’s got both of those consoles kicking STORY around somewhere for his kids. I’m talkCATHY ing about vintage video games and pinRESMER ball machines — the kind I used to see in the arcade and fantasize about owning.

IMAGE Volk, a laid-back, muscular guy, has MATTHEW 50 of them. He’s got Pac Man, Dig THORSEN Dug, Centipede and Tron. He’s got Moon Patrol, and Spy Hunter, Phoenix and Gorf. And he’s got a whole wall of pinball machines — from the Addams Family to the Simpsons — in the airy, high-ceilinged, second-floor living room of his custom-built log home. Most of the video machines are in a room on the first floor. The door bears a painted wooden sign that reads, aptly, “Arcade.”

This probably doesn’t seem like a big deal to anybody old enough to remember the Kennedy assassination, or young enough not to remember the

B

TV, positioned beneath a neon “Voodoo Lounge” sign, Carol chimes in, “It’s horrible to move these things.”

Volk has downsized since then, apparently at his wife’s request. The couple opened an arcade in Vergennes for a year in the 1990s, and vended games in Burlington-area movie theaters from 1999 to 2003. But these days Volk’s collection is limited to what he’s got on display and in his garage.

Last month, this impressive array of nostalgia inspired a cover story in GameRoom magazine, a national collectors’ publication.

Volk’s spread includes more than just the games themselves — he’s also got scads of original game marquees, which he displays on the wall behind the pinball machines. It’s thrilling to see signs for Joust and Zaxxon. And a small, hand-held electronic game sits atop each of the pinball machines.

Volk’s even got a DVD collection of 30 episodes of “Starcade,” a TV game

The tables are turned when I challenge Volk to Centipede.

This was my game. first Challenger explosion, but to those of us who came of age in the 1980s, Volk’s collection is remarkable. These games are relics from a bygone era, and as anyone who tries to find them in arcades knows, they’re disappearing — even though people like me, and Volk, are still eager to play them.

Not that video games like these were necessarily easy to find when we were younger. Sure, some of us had Atari or Collecovision or Commodore 64 hooked up to our TVs, but whatever we had paled in comparison to what could be found at the arcade. Those machines always had better graphics, better controllers and better background music. It was unheard of to have one at home.

Only really wealthy or well-connected people owned video game machines. Or at least that’s what I thought growing up.

Volk confirms that perception. The New Jersey native is a roofer who specializes in slate. In 1982, he saw a Mr. Do! game at a client’s house in New Jersey and was shocked. “People didn’t just have arcade games in their living rooms back then,” he remembers. He found out that his client’s brother was a vending distributor in New York. Volk worked out a deal to trade the roofing job for his first video game — Taito’s Elevator Action.

He’s been collecting games ever since. He used to scan the classifieds in trade magazines in the mid-’80s. He once picked up several in good condition for just $50 each; today, some of them are worth thousands. At one point, Volk had 300 games.

In the early years, before they finished their house in 1994, Volk and his wife Carol had to stash the machines in her parents’ basement and in a warehouse space he rented. “Room was definitely a problem,” he says.

And space wasn’t the only issue.

From a couch in front of a big-screen

show about video games. “I would pay dearly to have all the episodes,” he says.

“Apparently the rights are sealed.”

The part of the treasure trove that interests me most is downstairs, in Volk’s retro arcade. The low ceiling is fitted with black lights that bring out the carpet’s pattern of confetti and streamers. Walking into the room, I accidentally kick a fat bucket of tokens, plopped on the floor like a pot of gold.

The games themselves are packed side by side, exactly as they would have been in the game parlors of my youth. When Volk turns on a few of them, their sound effects compete with each other in a soothing, familiar cacophony.

The collector says he built this arcade because game parlors were important to him when he was a teenager. A preacher’s son, he never got into trouble or used drugs, and he longed for a place where he could goof off. He found arcades at “the perfect time,” he says. “I needed it badly.” Having the games at home brings back those memories and allows him to relax by “escaping into another world” for a few minutes.

Volk points out one of his favorites — Ghosts and Goblins, from 1986. “I used to think it had awesome graphics,” he says. We both know that comparing this to today’s games is like comparing a tiny, fuzzy, black-and-white TV with 13 channels to a giant, flat-screen plasma set with 1300.

I remember this game and ask him if we can play. The premise is that you’re a knight and you’re trying to get past these ghouls. In the first level, they pop out of the ground in a graveyard. You shoot swords at them. When you hit them, they explode in a blotch of blood.

I get past the first couple of goblins, then one runs into me, and my armor disappears. My little bearded knight is

suddenly running along in his tightywhiteys. Then I get hit again and turn into a pile of bones. Darn.

Volk zips right through that first level. He plays this game more often than most of the others. He doesn’t have much time to spend down here; he plays some of these machines only a couple times a year.

In the second level, screaming banshees fly at Volk’s knight. “I hate these things,” he mutters as he shoots at them. He leans his whole body into the machine, and pokes the fire button as fast as he can. Eventually, I let him take my turns. I suck at this game, plus it’s much more fun to watch him play.

But the tables are turned when I challenge him to Centipede. This was my game. Manufactured by Atari, Centipede appeared in 1980 and became wildly popular. It was also the first to be designed by a woman, according to the Killer List of Video Games at www.klov.com. Instead of a joystick, it features a track ball that you roll to control your gun, which roves within the bottom fifth of the screen.

On each level, a centipede descends from the top. You have to shoot it, and avoid the spiders, fleas and scorpions that try to run into you. The game has a distinctive background soundtrack — an incessant bass beat that sounds like the pounding of tiny feet.

I didn’t learn to play Centipede in an arcade; I practiced in a bar, when I was just 6. My dad’s friend Ronny had Centipede at his establishment in Detroit. I used to bum quarters from

the guys on the bar stools, who liked to watch me play. During the summer, I played video games with my older cousin Jimmy, and Centipede was the only game I ever won.

Things have changed since then.

Ronny’s bar is gone, and Jimmy died in a car crash in 1993. But I still love Centipede. I don’t get to play very often, but when I find a machine, I can sit in front of it for an hour.

The game Volk and I play is close.

He goes first and racks up 8000 points on his first guy. I stumble on my first couple turns — I try to get near the spider that drops down on you, because you get more points at close range. But he wipes me out twice before I can score much. Luckily, Volk has the same trouble later in the game. Eventually, I win, 36,548 to 33,138.

“Great job!” says Volk. “You beat the arcade operator.” He says he’ll practice for next time. I’d say that, too, but I have nowhere to practice. Volk says arcade owners rarely carry vintage games, because they cost a lot to fix and won’t earn enough to pay back the investment.

He notes that you can still find some of the older machines at Fun Spot, near Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire.

Nowadays, Volk laments, arcades are full of redemption machines that give tickets and boring, first-personshooter knock-offs. The game parlors of the ’80s, with their simple but original machines, are pretty much gone.

“It’s all faded away,” he says, standing amidst the flickering screens of his private collection. “It’s sad.” m

The 16th Vermont International Film Festival Socially Conscious Achievement Award goes to

VANESSA REDGRAVE Vanessa Redgrave is widely considered to be one of the finest actors of our time. Her extraordinary career has been marked by numerous stage and screen accolades, including an Oscar as best supporting actress for “Julia,”five Academy Award nominations, an Emmy Award for “Playing for Time”and a nomination for “Second Serve,” the Cannes Film Festival best actress award for “Morgan, A Suitable Case for Treatment”and “Isadora”and the Venice Film Festival award in 1996 for “Little Odessa.” Among her other numerous film credits are “A Man for All Seasons,” “Blowup,”“Camelot,”“The Devils,”“Agatha,”“Yanks,”“Young Catherine,”“The House of the Spirits,”“Howard’s End,”“A Month by the Lake”and “Mission Impossible.”

Vanessa Redgrave is equally well known as a passionate activist in the cause of children and as an advocate of peace, tolerance and reconciliation. In June 1995, she was appointed UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador.

Exotic Soup Specials for Lunch Daily! ~Pork Chop Soup Noodle~ about 6-foot-3 and built like a nose tackle, but his round face and Red Sox cap give him a boyish, unthreatening appearance. A partially assembled computer dance pad — one of the many new accessories manufacturers send the staff to try out and review — blocks the hall that leads to an empty room where Bauman goes to talk.

The magazine has lots of unused office space, since only about five employees work onsite. That’s not surprising. The computer-games industry is well suited for telecommuting, and Bauman’s writers, salespeople and distributors are scattered throughout the country. He admits the magazine could benefit from being closer to the computer-gaming industry in Los Angeles or San Francisco, where his staff could attend regular press events and new-product rollouts. Still, Vermont’s digital infrastructure serves their needs well, he says, and the much more affordable rents and salaries here have allowed the magazine to weather some lean economic times.

Bauman has been with Computer Games for 12 years.

Originally, it was called Strategy Plus and focused on the small niche market of board games, particularly war-strategy games that were popular in the 1970s.

When those pastimes were eclipsed by computer games, the magazine was sold and took the ungainly moniker, Computer Games Strategy Plus. The Strategy Plus was eventually dropped.

Computer Games magazine still serves a niche market, but it’s a much larger one: the multibillion-dollar computer-gaming industry. Unlike console games, which are played on platforms such as Xbox and PlayStation, computer games run on higherend PCs equipped with video cards and faster processors.

Whereas console machines only cost a couple hundred dollars, gaming computers start at around $1000.

As a result, says Bauman, computer gamers tend to be slightly older — and thus, so are the readers of Computer Games.

In fact, the magazine’s average reader is a 30-year-old male who is college-educated and fairly affluent. The independently owned magazine has a circulation of about 200,000, making it third among the big computer-games magazines in the country, behind PC Gamer and Computer Gaming World.

Computer Games also has a decidedly more adult look and feel than its competitors.

Whereas other gaming magazines tend to be more juvenile, male-oriented and “almost

Maxxim-like,” as Bauman puts it, “We try to make the magazine more accommodating to women, because women do play games, too.”

Admittedly, Computer Games’ readership is still only 15 to 20 percent female, but Bauman believes it may be growing. Last month, for example, the magazine published a big feature on MMOs, or “massively multiplayer online” games, which involve thousands of players competing simultaneously via the Internet. Women seem to prefer MMOs, Bauman says, because typically they’re roleplaying games in which players create their own characters.

“Most computer games are rooted in a fairly adolescent [world] of comic-book people and big-breasted women, and that puts a lot of women off,” Bauman says. “MMOs, typically, are a little more sensitive to those issues and let you create more realistic characters — or at least ones that better match your own perception of a hero — since you’re going to stare at this person for hours and hours.”

Consider, for example, World of Warcraft, an enormously successful MMO. The game is purchased in a retail store and comes with a free, one-month subscription. Thereafter, a player >> 38A

pays a $15 monthly fee to continue playing online. Since its launch, World of Warcraft has attracted about 3 million people who are paying the monthly fee.

According to Bauman, 25 to 30 percent of them are female.

A built-in clock tells players how long they’ve played World of Warcraft. Over a one-year period, Bauman says, he personally logged 30 days of play on that one game alone. “Which is kind of depressing, actually,” he says. “My God! This has taken away a month of my life!”

stand buyers — typically, males ages 16 to 25 — Bauman says, but it can’t come across as too juvenile or cartoonish, lest they put off adults who might feel ashamed to be seen reading it.

One political issue Computer Games will cover is censorship.

While “a lot of gamers are either liberal or conservative,” Bauman says, “they tend to become strangely libertarian when faced with all the games legislation.”

This was particularly true after this year’s brouhaha about the “Hot Coffee” mod — a cyberporn mini-game discovered embedded within the popular video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. The mature-rated video game was already much maligned for its graphic depictions of violence, drug use, prostitution and other antisocial behavior. Throwing digital porn

short on technobabble.

Games are test-driven in a windowless conference room with three computers, including one with a state-of-the-art, widescreen monitor. Bauman loads a game called Half-Life 2, a first-person shooter with an ambiguous plot. It begins with a subway ride through a vaguely oppressive, dystopian city run by a race of quasi-benign aliens.

“It’s phenomenal-looking and a great game,” Bauman explains, navigating virtual courtyards and sewer pipes depicted with ultra-vivid graphics. “Most people confuse quantity of story for depth or quality. This one doesn’t hammer you over the head with big narrative bits.”

Bauman soon quits that game and loads another, called Painkiller, a mindless shoot-’emup action game in which you

example, this month’s “Random Incoherence” column by Kelly Wand, “Think of the Children: 666 ways to make games more kid- and uptight-adult-friendly,” lists tongue-in-cheek suggestions for child-appropriate games. A few examples: games that promote dental hygiene, offer group therapy or feature characters who apologize and shed a tear whenever they kill someone.

Bauman does recognize that as his readers age, many of them get married, have kids and even play computer games with their children. It’s become the new family time, he says, the way cards, board games and even TV used to be, especially as computer games shed many of their negative connotations. That upward shift in demographic has also forced the magazine into a delicate balancing act. It has to stay attractive to news-

into the mix — albeit very primitive digital porn, Bauman notes — had politicians across the board, including Hillary Clinton, shrieking for new legislation that makes it illegal to sell M-rated games to minors.

Needless to say, Computer Games and its readers were quick to weigh in on that frenzy. “It was some grandmother who bought the game for her 12-year-old,” Bauman recalls. “I’m sorry, but which part of M-rated — it clearly says ‘sex, drug use, and graphic violence’ — made you think this was appropriate as it was?”

On the whole, Computer Games magazine is largely about entertainment and leisure time spent camped in front of a monitor. And in that realm, the magazine excels, with bright, colorful photos, a clean, readable layout and easily digestible articles that are long on info and

“This is just complete carnage. It’s completely over-thetop and gloriously stupid,” says Bauman, his eyes transfixed on the screen. “But there’s something to be said for stupid.”

Is this the dream job of all time for a computer-games junkie?

“You’d think, although the reality is, like anything else, it becomes a job,” Bauman says, pausing the game. “The idea that we sit around all the time playing games is true sometimes.

But most of the time we’re writing and editing articles, developing stories, and doing production stuff.

“And then,” he adds, “we go home and play games, just like we would if we weren’t working here.” m

107 Church Street • Burlington • 864.7146 The essence of the play is not about mourning, but about remembering. The 2x5-optical083105.indd 1 8/29/05 2:08:11 PM action takes place over the course of an afternoon, in the living room of a modest New York City apartment. Stricken fire captain Nick, who has lost eight men, has come to get assistance from writer Joan, a OUTDOOR SEATING • L AKE VIEWS friend of a friend. He is reluctant to drag her into his grief — after all, she hasn’t BURLINGTON’S ONLY TAPAS MENU lost anyone. But she is eager to do someBEST SUNSET VIEW IN TOWN thing to overcome her “crisis of marginality,” her sense of powerlessness in the face of her city’s tragedy. at the Wyndham Burlington Hotel Nick is angered by what people who didn’t know his men are saying about them: “I keep hearing all these speeches from the politicians on TV. The pictures in the paper. Hero this, hero that. I don’t even recognize them.” By gently prodding him to recall everyday firehouse stories, Joan helps Nick remember his fallen comrades as people — funny, flawed, full of life — rather than “plaster saints” or cardboard heroes.

Nick talks, Joan writes, and together they develop affectionate and memorable portraits for the first four eulogies, which Nick practices on stage. Bill was the firehouse food critic. Jimmy was the eager “probie,” going to his first real fire on that fateful Tuesday morning. Patrick made Waldorf salad to take to church picnics.

Barney, a gifted metalworker, “fixed something before we even defined the problem.”

never knew. During the play, her character steps to the side of the stage to ruminate via monologues. Her final speech is interwoven with Nick’s last eulogy, which he gives in full dress uniform. She is plaintive, demanding: “I want them back, just the way they were. I want them all back, together again.”

The performances of Dennis McSorley, as Nick, and Sheila Collins, as Joan, were well matched. Both actors deftly built the emotional arcs of their characters through gradual accumulation of detail over the course of the play.

McSorley was entirely believable as the New York City fire captain numbed by his staggering loss. The eight deaths leave Nick tormented, and McSorley effectively captured how Nick feels caught in a surreal limbo. He is preparing to eulogize friends he doesn’t really comprehend are dead, to speak at funerals where there will be photographs in place of bodies.

As Joan gets Nick to open up, McSorley revealed flashes of the humor and passion that animated Nick before he was gripped with grief. McSorley delivered the eulogies with quiet strength, while showing Nick’s slight undercurrent of hesitance and nerves. The effect was so poignant that it was hard to remember this was a play, rather than an actual memorial service.

Joan is a trickier role. She has to handle Nick gently, coaxing, cajoling, counseling and comforting him. In a performance that was initially understated but eventually quite moving, Collins subtly portrayed how Joan responds to the unpredictable contours of Nick’s emotional seismograph. Joan’s initial impulse to help Nick comes from a detached place, the abstract need to do good. By the time Joan reads the draft of Patrick’s eulogy aloud to Nick, Collins showed how the detachment has dissolved, and the abstract has become powerfully real.

The play’s text unfortunately saddles Collins with some weak monologues, such as the overly expository opening speech recounting Joan’s backstory and the didactic scientific treatise on stress hormones and trauma. Here Nelson shows herself as a journalist and not a playwright. Collins struggled to give life to these stilted passages, but she delivered the anecdote-filled soliloquies with greater success.

Director López deserves credit for a wealth of thoughtful detail that enhanced the storytelling. She gave music an important role in establishing mood. As the audience was settling in before the show, a recording of a dissonant and somewhat nerve-jangling Charles Ives piece, “Central Park in the Dark,” played in the background.

Casey Coveyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lighting of the main action, which takes place in the late afternoon, had a distractingly wan tone. But the other effects he created worked well. Overhead pools of light focused intently on McSorley and Collins during their final speeches.

Bonnie Raitt, known for her sultry voice and smokin’ slide work, has earned critical acclaim and mainstream success. Popsavvy and down-to-earth, her work reveals a deep respect for American roots music as well as a strong grasp of contemporary songcraft. Raitt’s latest, Souls Alike, is informed by personal crises, such as her brother’s bout with brain cancer and the death of both parents. Never one to give up, she channeled her emotions into an album’s worth of thoughtful rhythm & blues. She visits Burlington next Wednesday, October 19, at Memorial Auditorium.

BUSY B. Local hip-hop guru, fashion entrepreneur and visual artist Fattie B. is back with a bunch of fresh goings-on. Now that age has slowed James Brown down a bit, we might as well give the “hardest-working man in showbiz” title to Fattie.

First off, the über-productive MC and turntablist will join local sensations The Neighborhood at UVM’s Patrick Gymnasium on Thursday, October 13, at 8 p.m. They’ll be warming up for Philly hip-hop monsters The Roots — talk about your high-profile gigs.

Kyle also has a brand new live band, sensibly called Fattie B. Live. “I wanted to return to the live music element, à la my Belizbeha days,” the rapper explains. Backing him up on stage will be powerhouse drummers Steve Hadeka of The Cush and Monoprix, and Caleb Bronz, ex of Voice. Dave “The Truth” Grippo will blow his magic horn, while DJ A-Dog scratches his wax. You can check them out Friday, October 14, at Club Metronome. That performance will also feature special guests, including talented hip-hoppers S.I.N., Manus and Benny Hollywood.

Joining A-Dog on the decks will be reggae-rap DJs Russell and Selectah Meszenjah. Sounds like a party to me.

You may recall me mentioning Fattie’s acrylic artwork in this very space not long ago. Well, he’s debuting a whole new batch the following night at 1/2 Lounge. Entitled “Ladies First,” the show will feature his latest eyecatching, urban-themed prints. The works will be on display for one month, with all pieces for sale on a first-come, first-served basis. Hey, wait — aren’t the ladies supposed to be first?

Fattie has another reason to celebrate this month: Saturday, October 22, is the 10-year anniversary of the hottest dance party in Burlington. You guessed it — I’m talking about that sweaty, wayback boogiefest known as Retronome. The shindig will take over both Nectar’s and the ’Nome for a wild night of booze and booty-dancing.

Retronome founder Craig Mitchell will join Fattie upstairs, while ’80s videos and tunes will rock those bodies downstairs. Many of you are probably aware that Mitchell moved to Boston not long ago. Be sure to swing by and give him a hellacious homecoming.

THE BEAT GOES OFF

Local concert promoter Ed Dufresne recently informed me that the Caspian Lake Grange in Greensboro will no longer host concert events.

According to Dufresne, the town Historical Society wants to reclaim the building for “storage.”

“It’s quite sad, because it took some serious lobbying on my part to get to use the building again,” he explains. “The hall is great, and the shows we’ve brought in over the last five years have been very successful.”

The powers that be have granted DuFresne’s entertainment company, edified presents, permission to throw one more bash on Saturday, October 15. The show will feature the danceable jams of Toubab Krewe, who have been making a mark in the Green Mountains with A few years ago, Jericho’s big-hearted reggae their fusion of traditional African instrumentahoncho Bobby Hackney joined forces with tion and American musical stylings.

Nashville, Tennessee. Austin, Texas. Chicago, Illinois. The Big Apple. What do these cities have in common besides tall buildings? Well, they’re all big-time music towns. None of ’em can hold a candle to New Orleans, however.

Legitimately recognized as the birthplace of jazz, the Big Easy is home to more professional musicians per capita than nearly any other metropolis in America. While hurricane Katrina was devastating to all NOLA citizens, the city’s audio artisans were hit particularly hard. Losing your home is rough. Not having a place to play your music may be even rougher.

This Tuesday, October 18, at Burlington’s Flynn MainStage, some of Vermont’s finest blues and jazz artists will come together to benefit Gulf Coast musicians who suffered losses in the catastrophe. Local titans such as the Ellen Powell Quartet, the Unknown Blues Band, the Sandra Wright Band, the Onion River Jazz Band, Tom Cleary & Friends, Tammy Fletcher, Little Joyce and Dave Grippo are all scheduled to appear. But that’s not all: New Orleans’ own horn kingpins The Rebirth Brass Band will light up the stage with their highpowered blues and jazz. Entitled “From Burlington to Bourbon Street,” the event will be hosted by George Thomas of Vermont Public Radio’s “Jazz in the Evening” and the Point FM’s “Global Jam.” The show kicks off at 7 p.m., with general admission tickets priced at $20.

If you’re still craving more spicy sounds, pop on over to Nectar’s immediately following the Flynn show for a full set from Rebirth.

These great performances might tide us over ’til next year’s Discover Jazz Fest.

Lambsbread, Roots of Creation and DJ Selectah Meszenjah, which takes place Friday, October 14, in Burlington’s Memorial Auditorium Annex. “We can no longer consider the homeless and the hungry just as people on the streets,” Hackney says. “We have to think of our neighbors who on a weekly, and often daily, basis have to decide whether to put food on the table or gas in their car.”

The event was in the planning stages a few weeks before Katrina ravaged the Gulf Coast; in light of the tragedy, hurricane relief will be included as part of the package. “This is going to be much more than just a musical concert,” Hackney explains. “It’s an event that will cast a spotlight on issues of hunger and homelessness, before, during and after the performances.” The show kicks off at 6 p.m. Admission is $10, or $8 with a nonperishable food item.

TRUE MUSIC DIVERSITY TRIPLE A STATION OF THE YEAR

october 12-19, 2005| music 49A

reviewthis A compilation CD can be a blessing or a curse. While such discs provide an opportunity to sample a variety of performers, some are spotty at best. Back in the ’90s, local comps were ubiquitous; the trend seemed to peter out in the new millennium. By then, many had grown weary of these clubhouse congeries and their over-zealous executors. Still, a decent Vermont comp is cause for celebration, and Mondays At 10 PM is one such collection.

This particular batch of tunes originally provided the soundtrack to filmmaker David Eaton’s cableaccess program “Zero Power Hour.” Compiled by dark-pop auteur Sean Altrui, Mondays is one of the best multi-artist releases I’ve heard in some time.

Opener “Upstate in the Woods / Grown Up Out the Doyt” by Oblong Bahl kicks things off in quasicomical fashion. The tune’s lo-fi breakbeats, funky bass figure and raspy vocals come together in a tongue-in-cheek ode to redneck living. “Not much to do on a Saturday night / ’cept go down to the bevvie for to get some Coors Lite / Watch a little NASCAR, go to Denny’s for a bite / That’s right,” the lyrics proudly exclaim.

Mark Knuffke’s pulsating electronic composition “Buell St.” threads organic instrumentation with computer sequencing in an enjoyably dusky romp. “So Green” is a lovely number by singer-songwriter Jenn Karson. With her maudlin guitar figures and lilting, girlish vocals, she comes across like a goth Suzanne Vega.

Altrui’s serpentine “Remission” is nearly perfect, a shadow-pop blend of quavering guitars and tribal percussion. His evocative baritone has a lot in common with that of Doors front man Jim Morrison, a similarity Altrui exploits to stunning effect.

UFO vs. Squirrel’s “13_V.S.A._1022” is an experimental groove track, replete with chiming bells and odd ring tones. An instrumental, the song’s post-rock vibe and left-field textures are similar to those of Chicago sound-blenders Tortoise. “King Fisher” by Joe Englert and Will Haslett doesn’t fare quite as well, however. An over-the-top prog extravaganza, the cut’s wanky keyboards would probably make Rick Wakeman blush. Picture This turn in a world-beat-inspired number, while bass whiz Aram Bedrosian drops some low-end theory on closing track “Thumpty Dumpty.”

It’s great to hear such a strong batch of tunes from lesser-known local artists. And, unlike some collections, Mondays At 10 PM is thematically consistent and well sequenced. Check out the release party on Friday, October 14, at the E1 Studio Collective, 416 Pine St., in Burlington.

ModQ-matchstick101205 10/10/05 11:14 AM Page 1 CASEY REA

(Self-released, CD) Straight out of what must be the most dilapidated backwoods shack in Middlebury comes spook-country psychos Crazyhearse. With their rotten hearts on their sleeves and tongues firmly in cheek, the band lives up to its oddball moniker. Comprising David Kloepfer on guitar and banjo, Shan Reil on bass and keys and Corey Many on the kit, Crazyhearse stomp their way through a series of swampy, deepfried rockers with as much subtlety as the town drunks and backwoods freaks they sing about.

Fans of the morbid potty humor and vitriolic rock championed by Southern Culture on the Skids, Primus and Ween should be perfectly comfortable with Crazyhearse. No slouches in the raw talent department, the band members have loaded their debut with plenty of interesting turns and clever hooks. Although Crazyhearse’s forceful, guitar-driven sound is the main focus, occasionally they expand their sonic palette to include synth and fiddle.

Title track “Pigman,” boasts swinging drums, a walking bass line and jangly electric guitar. An unlikely yarn about one man’s journey to deliver baked goods, the track describes a woodland creature “naked and tall with a head like a hog” that assails the protagonist. “Liquor Store Woman” finds the band belting a banjo-driven paean to their local liquor-store clerk with faux sentimentality.

Elsewhere, Crazyhearse focus their idiosyncratic lyrics on the physiology of death — such as in the bouncy, Eastern European-styled “Rigor Mortis.” “Hillshire Love” is yet another love song, albeit about a long-lost bratwurst. “I miss that saturated burst / I walk the floor looking for the wurst,” they sing with surprising tenderness.

While the band’s vocal delivery could give Primus a run for their money, it often tilts towards sheer imitation, such as on “Going Hunting.” The cut features a round of yodeling that sounds cribbed from Colonel Claypool himself.

There’s nothing dainty about Crazyhearse’s tunes, but that doesn’t appear to be their aim. Overall, the band seems content to have some good ol’ shit-kicking fun. If you inhabit a similar space, Pigman is a sure shot. modq-StMikes101205

Through October 29.

ARTWORK “Fabric of Life”

by Sally Sweetland

PHOTO Marc Awodey

hile some artists seem to paint the same picture over and over again, perhaps trying to create a recognizable style, Waitsfield painter Sally Sweetland is aesthetically restless. Her exhibition of more than 30 oil-onlinen works at Stowe’s West Branch Gallery & Sculpture Park evidences a dazzling array of painterly approaches.

The diversity of Sweetland’s show, entitled “Patches of Sunlight and Hope,” is at first a little jarring, but ultimately it reveals conceptual complexity, nods to art history and a full spectrum of beautifully composed hues. The cumulative effect of Sweetland’s paintings is as rich as the natural world to which they frequently refer.

“Secret Waterfall,” dating from 1998, is the oldest piece in the show and clearly reveals Sweetland’s landscapist roots. Cloudy, coppery patches dance across the canvas, but the composition of naturalistic colors such as lush greens and blues suggest land and sky. Silvery gray and whites obliquely indicate Sweetland’s vaguely captured sky and stream.

“Skipped Stones” appears to be

influenced by Monet’s “Water Lilies.”

The 52-by-48-inch oil is a vertical Zshaped composition with a central ribbon of light values flanked by deep bends of highly saturated terre verte and ultramarine. Details in the painting are little more than gestural dabs and scumbling.

“Secret Waterfall” and “Skipped Stones” imply water, but other paintings have no subject matter other than what Sweetland suggests with pigment.

“Breakthrough Blue” includes abstractexpressionist, solidified paint drips and non-referential patches of cool color, from deep indigo to powdery turquoise, lilac and pale olive green.

“Raindance” has a similar harmony, but a subtly defined, looped infinity symbol appears in the upper right.

Sweetland’s introduction of readable figures in a few pieces is a departure from her more ethereal works.

However, considering that she earned a Master’s degree in architecture from M.I.T., Sweetland’s tendency to transition from wholly abstract to somewhat concrete — from right brain to left brain, as it were — seems completely natural.

The softly defined squares of “Birthday Party” are sited on a latticework of lime-green, 30-degree diagonals, and are invaded by a block of creamy horizontal lines in the upper left of the painting. Many of the diagonal squares are seemingly stamped with concentric circles, a technique that doesn’t appear in any other works. Similarly, the warmly hued “Dance Floor” is the only painting here featuring extensive palette-knife work.

In the 42-by-38-inch “Fabric of Life,” Sweetland successfully integrates a patchwork of techniques. Yellow drips appear in a stain-painted, purple square at the lower left of the painting. A few curved lines reminiscent of primitive pictoglyphs appear at the upper center. And nearly every hue found elsewhere in the show is reprised within this work. For an image in which Sweetland seems to gather all the threads of her aesthetic journey on a single canvas, the title “Fabric of Life” is apt. And the warm colors and poetic abstractions dominating this show justify its title, “Patches of Sunlight and Hope.” m

OUT OF AFRICA Stowe’s Helen Day Art Center has northern roots, but a current exhibit reaches south of the equator: “Impressions of Africa: Past and Present” is an important and compelling compendium of sub-Saharan art. Among the 100 sculptures, paintings and artfully crafted utilitarian objects — such as the Dogon ladder from Mali pictured here — are treasures representing some 2500 years in some of the world’s most fascinating cultures.

“How?.. How to say I’m sorry, and yet, screw you?”

the straight dope

BY CECIL ADAMS

ALL WORTHWHILE HUMAN KNOWLEDGE ILLUSTRATION: SLUG SIGNORINO

Dear Cecil, William Shakespeare was the greatest English-language writer of all time. I know this because everyone says so.

Heck, I even read some Shakespeare back in high school.

The hitch is simple — I don’t get it. Sure, Willy’s plays are timeless tales of love and revenge and whatnot. Lots of people die in them. These attributes are found all over the place, though. What makes Shakespeare’s work so much better literature than Tom Clancy’s?

Mark, Pasadena, California Shakespeare versus Tom Clancy, eh? I admire you, Mark. You’re a bozo, but you’re a bozo with brass.

What’s more, you raise a question that deserves an answer. Fact is, neglecting the handful of fey creatures who claim they grokked Shakespeare upon first hearing “to be or not to be,” few people get him right out of the box. The obstacle is his lofty language, much of which can only be grasped with footnotes, and sometimes not then. Because lofty language is also Shakespeare’s chief claim to glory — I agree, timeless tales and whatnot are a dime a dozen — we’ve got a problem. I don’t promise miracles, but if you’re willing to invest a few hours in a guy whose reputation has endured for more than 400 years, maybe you’ll get a glimpse of what makes Willy worth lending an ear.

Shakespeare was one of the most inventive English stylists to hoist a quill, but for just that reason flirted with incomprehensibility even in his own day — a problem exacerbated at times by his, shall we say, occasional want of craft. Useful instruction on this point comes from the scholar Frank Kermode, who in Shakespeare’s Language (2000) discusses how puzzling audiences have always found the Bard: “It is simply inconceivable that anybody at the Globe [theater] . . .

could have followed every sentence of Coriolanus . . .

There are passages, especially in some of the later plays, which continue to defeat learned ingenuity.”

Kermode quotes Samuel Johnson: “[Shakespeare] now and then [gets] entangled with an unwieldy sentiment, which he cannot well express, and will not reject; he struggles with it for a while; and if it continues stubborn, comprises it in such words as occur, and leaves it to be disentangled by those who have more leisure to bestow upon it.”

Kermode thinks that’s putting matters too strongly. I’m not so sure. Here’s an example from Richard III. The evil Richard (R3) says in earshot of the toosmart-for-his-own-good prince (P): So wise so young, they say do never live long. P: What say you, uncle? R3: I say, without characters, fame lives long. [Aside.] Thus, like the formal Vice, Iniquity, I moralize two meanings in one word.

Richard is punning on characters, but the pun is cryptic. I’ve seen the two meanings of the word glossed as (1) letters/writing/history (i.e., fame endures without written records), and (2) people/the soon-to-die prince and his brother (i.e., with the boys dispatched, Richard’s fame will endure). While I don’t discount the underlying drama, it’s hard to believe many in the theater understood this labored bit of wordplay upon first hearing it. What’s more, the line doesn’t make much sense in the context of the play; Richard is trying to cover an ominous remark with one that, being mystifying, is even more ominous and thus likely to alarm the prince. I’m with Johnson — we’re talking unwieldy sentiments here or, in modern terms, witticisms that don’t work.

So am I claiming Shakespeare’s a fraud? No, only that it can take some work to get past the sticky bits.

My epiphany happened during my freshman year in college, when I took an introductory lit class with one of the great teachers, a fellow named Bergen Evans.

One day Evans was lecturing on King Lear. After some buildup about the sense of despair in this play, he read the famous lines: “As flies to wanton boys, are we to the gods; they kill us for their sport.” The last few words were said with a sort of quiet hiss. I suppose you had to be there. All I know is, I didn’t question Shakespeare’s genius after that.

The professor being no longer available, the best I can suggest in your case is holing up with a good critical edition of King Lear — you might as well get Shakespeare with both barrels. Go at it with an open mind, and with any luck you’ll see what all the fuss is about. If not — well, not to be brutal, dear Mark, but the fault isn’t in Shakespeare.

BY RICK KISONAK

PREVIEWS

Two for the Money HHH

I THE ODDS COUPLE Pacino and McConaughey play a pair of fast-talking handicappers.

n this Glengarry Glen Ross-lite bit of business from director D.J. Caruso (Taking Lives) Al Pacino gives one of his patented, amped-up performances as the boss of a boilerroom operation that charges gamblers a percentage of winnings in exchange for expert betting advice offered over a telephone hotline. The script by Dan Gilroy never makes clear just how Pacino’s company ascertains what amounts its clients wager with bookies, and therefore what sums are due it, much less how the collection process works. I guess Pacino operates on the honor system. But lapses like this undercut the credibility and dramatic clout of Two for the Money. Caruso introduces us to a novel, tantalizing milieu and then proceeds to tell us almost nothing about it.

Instead, we get a contest of Tinseltown charisma between two colorful, supercocky characters. Matthew McConaughey is a former star college quarterback whose career was cut short by a knee injury. At the start of the story he’s still dreaming of a comeback while working in Las Vegas as an oddsmaker for a small-time sports-betting outfit. He discovers his talent for this game is far more exceptional than his gridiron gifts. He knows the sport and the teams who play it inside out, and the result is an astounding 80 percent accuracy record.

Again, it’s unclear how Pacino, thousands of miles away in Manhattan, would get wind of the 900-number wunderkind. After all, this is a profession in which low-level employees work in more or less seedy anonymity. For dramatic purposes, nonetheless, he is discovered and literally offered a ticket to the big time. McConaughey picks up the phone one day to find Pacino on the other end, claiming to own one of the largest sports-betting outfits in the country and inviting him to fly out and play for his team. A plane ticket and an envelope filled with cash have found their way to his desk drawer.

From the moment McConaughey touches down in New York to begin his tutorship, this looks like extremely familiar ground. If you’ve seen City Hall, Devil’s Advocate, Donnie Brasco, Scent of a Woman or The Recruit, you can expect a sense of déjà vu to linger as Pacino takes yet another fresh-faced up-and-comer under his wing.

Sporting a goatee and spouting flamboyant nuggets of

wisdom, the older man swiftly mentors the younger to the number-two slot in his organization, bypassing longtime, loyal employees. McConaughey’s hot streak continues and, with the stakes now far higher, he finds himself bringing in big bucks and attracting new clients. “I’m going to build an empire around you,” promises Pacino. He buys his protégé expensive suits, an expensive haircut and an expensive prostitute or two. He even gives him a new name, John Anthony, and puts him on the panel of his infomercialstyle weekly TV show.

McConaughey’s Midwest-bred character gladly goes along for the ride, all glistening grin and gung-ho, gun-forhire swagger. Together they take the business to new heights, reeling in some of the heaviest hitters in the world.

Think Charlie Sheen and Michael Douglas in Wall Street, only with louder, more manic monologues.

But then the hot streak ends. And, once again, it’s not clear how much this has to do with the fact that McConaughey has grown arrogantly careless, or how much it’s simply a matter of math. Nor do we know whether Pacino and McConaughey are tacitly playing some sort of twisted, ante-upping mind game with one another.

The older man is a reformed gambling addict and falls off the wagon when the younger starts picking reliable winners. He continues betting even after McConaughey’s streak has taken a turn for the sub-zero. Is one guy trying to help the other? Is the other determined to prove he doesn’t want anyone’s help? Either one of these guys as interesting as the writer and director of this picture seem to believe?

The last question is the only one I can answer with certainty: No. Two for the Money has its rollicking moments and snappy lines, but even Pacino fails to make them more than a fleetingly juicy treat. This is a movie that desperately wishes David Mamet had written it. It wants to be Glengarry meets The Spanish Prisoner meets House of Games. But, given the limitations of Gilroy’s script, viewers will likely greet the film with only moderate enthusiasm.

I’m willing to wager, in fact, that it’s not only long-forgotten by Oscar time but a hazy memory within weeks of its release. m

SEVEN DAYS

THE 3 ROOMS OF MELANCHOLIA

flick chick

BY SUSAN GREEN

SHORT TAKES ON THE REEL WORLD

World to Burlington

Vermont International Film Festival, various locations around Burlington, October 13-16.

For more info, visit http://www. vtiff.org or call 660-2600.

America Radio host Janeane Garofalo, profiles New Englanders protesting the Iraqi invasion and occupation. It’s got music by the likes of Pete Seeger, Billy Bragg and Ani DiFranco.

“Accidental Activist” is Kathryn Blume’s spirited monologue about her experience coordinating more than 1000 performances in 59 countries of Lysistrata, the ancient Greek pacifist play, on the same day in early March 2003. The Charlotte thespian’s endeavor took place three weeks before “Operation Shock and Awe” was launched.

Peacham director Jay Craven’s After the Fog centers on interviews with combat veterans who have served during the last six decades. Sir! No Sir!, with some footage provided by Richmond archivist Roz Payne, is an opening-night selection that looks back at the 1960s movement of soldiers disillusioned by the Vietnam War. This cinematic gathering boasts the mantra “Images and Issues of Global Concern,” and on any given day is likely to encompass an exploration of worldly woes. On Friday, for example, State of Fear traces Peru’s descent from democracy to dictatorship. Born into Struggle tackles the battle against apartheid in South Africa.

Homeland: Four Portraits of Native Action zeroes in on indigenous people threatened by energy companies and pollution.

Although rare, uplifting material is in evidence. Monumental depicts the

late David Brower’s often-successful campaign to protect America’s national parks. “Oscar” takes a light-hearted approach to the true story of a Buenos Aires cab driver who adds his aesthetic commentaries to public advertising.

Film subjects can be wide-ranging, yet strangely compatible: “No Place Like Home,” Hardwick resident Meredith Holch’s animation about refugees and asylum-seekers, seems to have a sort of cross-species kinship with “Ride of the Mergansers,” an account of ducklings that must adapt to the wild only 24 hours after they hatch. Similarly, “Chavez Ravine: A Los Angeles Story” recalls a California Mexican-American village uprooted by the federal government in the 1950s to make way for Dodger Stadium. Cheech Marin delivers the narration and Ry Cooder’s songs grace the soundtrack.

Niagalova’s personal favorite, The 3 Rooms of Melancholia, also focuses on Chechnya. “This is an observation of orphans done in a very unorthodox style,” she says. “But it complements Vanessa Redgrave’s film, which is a more traditional, talking-

heads documentary.”

Slated for Saturday evening at the Roxy, Melancholia is in the Displaced Persons showcase, which also incorporates Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress, a saga of teenagers forced to live in a remote mountain region during the Cultural Revolution. This charming autobiographical tale — as much about the clash between backwardness and modernity as it is about political convictions — will close the fest on Sunday night.

Vermont auteurs from the community at large and from local colleges are being spotlighted. Two dozen shorts by the latter demographic will unspool Thursday at Higher Ground in South Burlington. “The homegrown films are stronger, in general, than they were last year,” Niagalova notes.

She’s surprised that as many as 20 out-of-state filmmakers will be in town for the autumn extravaganza.

“There’s one guy coming all the way from Australia,” Niagalova says. “It’s an unusually large number for us. We must be doing something right.” m

“Flick Chick” is a weekly column that can also be read on www.sevendaysvt.com.

READ THIS FIRST:

This week, as always, the things Fannie likes (shown in CAPITAL letters) all follow a secret rule. Can you figure out what it is? NOTE: Fickle Fannie likes words. But each week she likes something different about them — how they’re spelled, how they sound, how they look, what they mean, or what’s inside them.

Rosemary’s baby began its life as a DEVILED EGG. A pilfered fur gives new meaning to “MINK STOLE.” Frozen GRAPES are delicious, bite-size popsicles.

What would UK cuisine be without pork BUTTOCKS? Whatever happened to the Golden TOMATO Award?

Portnoy’s preference went from liver to MODELING CLAY. Vegans who eat GROUND BEEF have awful seizures.

MUSHROOMS are the places where grapes are trampled.

Humpty would’ve been safer as a WATER BALLOON. E me with your Qs or comments (dd44art@aol.com). Difficulty rating for this puzzle: HARD AS CHARMIN. If you’re stuck, see the HINT on this page. If you cave, see the ANSWER on page 63A. So much for Fickle Fannie’s tastes this week. Next week she’ll have a whole new set of likes and dislikes.

anessa Redgrave can’t make the 16th Vermont International Film Festival, but it features a lineup of powerful motion pictures on topics that are no doubt close to her heart.

The annual Burlington event, which opens this Thursday, October 13, will give its Socially Conscious Achievement Award to the venerable British actress in absentia. She’s had to substitute her planned live appearance here with a videotaped message due to a scheduling conflict and health problems, according to fest executive director Mira Niagalova.

Redgrave is represented by a documentary, Russia/Chechnya: Voices of Dissent, that she produced and her son directed. A Chechnyan human-rights activist, trauma surgeon Dr. Kassan Baiev, will accept the award on her behalf during the Saturday screening at City Hall Auditorium.

Redgrave will miss a festival with 110 films of varying lengths, both nonfiction and narrative, from such far-flung places as Costa Rica, Argentina, India, South Korea and Kyrgystan by way of Canada. Out of about 300 potential entries, 60 were chosen for the three competition categories: Environment, Justice & Human Rights, and War & Peace.

The last theme drew the most submissions, thanks to the increasingly grim conflict in Iraq. “It’s on everybody’s mind,” Niagalova suggests.

Once again we’ve selected scenes from four well-known movies and, through the magic of Film Quiz Technology, zapped the famous faces of their stars right out of the picture. Your job, as always, is to identify the four films, anyway, minus their stars and with only a single clue-ridden scene apiece to go on.

Rock On Figured I’d start the day with a cheesy phrase.

It’s 7. You know what that means. I’m subbing. 7/8 Language Arts. Why do they call it Language Arts in the lower grades and then boom! English in high school?

My days of subbing are growing less. My choosing. I’m like a ghost who floats around schools, the ghost of a hasbeen teacher. The kids like me, though, which is helpful. I sympathize with their 90 minute classes (utter insanity).

Dreamed I was crying, crying. Tears just pouring out as I sat in a church for a funeral. It wasn’t mine. First, it was a grandmother-type and then a grandfather? Great gospel music started up and that was soothing. Then some teenagers crowded me off the bench and I couldn’t stop crying as I left.

Nobody seemed to be of much comfort.

Should be an interesting day. Any dream interpreters out there, contact me. posted by newyorkex at 6:55 AM 5 Visit Cathy’s blog — 802 Online: A blog about Vermont, its media and its Internets — for a growing list of Vermont blogs: http://7Dblogs.com/802online

MARTHA MY DEAR

Lots of cutting-edge choreographers shaped 20th-century dance, but Martha Graham was the mother of modern movement. Born in 1894, she founded the company that bears her name in 1926, and danced in it until age 75, creating 181 works over her long lifetime.

Graham’s company is now headed by two dance divas who trained under her. Highlights of this weekend’s performance include “Appalachian Spring,” set to familiar music composed for Graham by Aaron Copeland in 1944, and “Errand Into the Maze,” a 1947 work with a 3-D set designed by landscape architect and sculptor Isamu Noguchi, of cocoon-lamp fame. A special film retrospective precedes the show.

THE LEGEND OF MARTHA GRAHAM Saturday, October 15, Amy E. Tarrant Gallery, Flynn Center, Burlington, 6 p.m. Free. Info, 652-4500.

MARTHA GRAHAM DANCE COMPANY Saturday, October 15, Flynn MainStage, Burlington, 8 p.m. $2640. Info, 863-5966.

scene@GREAT PUMPKIN FESTIVAL GARDENERâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S SUPPLY, BURLINGTON, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 8, 10 A.M. PUMPKIN WEIGH-OFF 1 P.M. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been prone to the charms of plump pumpkins ever since I won a â&#x20AC;&#x153;guess-the-weightâ&#x20AC;? contest at a farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; market when I was in grad school. Having grown up in suburban Honolulu, I had zero agrarian knowledge, so I squared the lucky number 7 and added 8 ounces for good measure. My random guess turned out to be the pumpkinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s precise poundage, and the $100 prize bought me a lot of veggies.

Forty-nine-and-a-half pounds is pint-sized compared to the gargantuan gourds that members of the Vermont Giant Vegetable Growers Association brought to Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Great Pumpkin Festival. A competitive weigh-off was the juiciest fruit in a cornucopia of fun fall activities. Despite the gray, chilly weather, hundreds of kids and adults enjoyed making scarecrows, decorating pumpkins and scarfing down hot soup, Halloween candy and baked treats.

Prior to the contest, the enormous entrants â&#x20AC;&#x201D; ranging from deep red-orange to greentinged ochre â&#x20AC;&#x201D; rested on wooden pallets behind ropes to protect them from veggie-climbing children. The growers circulated nearby, some of them wearing pumpkin-shaped fleece toques and beaming like proud papas. Far from being secretive about the tricks of the supersized squash trade, they talked openly with curious onlookers about the importance of genetics, water, fertilizer and temperature.

The growers are an affable fraternity of hobbyists. They save and trade seeds from heavyset winners, and actively support rookie farmers and gardeners. The dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest applause went to Eric Hull of Enosburg, who seemed flabbergasted to have grown a 761-pounder (third place) his first time out, and 11-year-old Parker Young of Jericho, whose 736-pound entry (fourth) was nearly triple the size of what he grew last year. Parkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dad John took second (809 pounds), and Association president Kevin Companion of Huntington won, for the third year in a row, with an 841-pound behemoth.

Hull fessed up to the obsessive, anxiety-producing components of the pursuit; he found himself constantly checking his vines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a good hour per pound in these pumpkins,â&#x20AC;?

Hull said. The question nobody could precisely answer: How did they become so passionate about produce? Wilbur Horton of Springfield just smiled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got the book. And went a little further.â&#x20AC;?

SOUND STAGE

Jazz trumpeter extraordinaire Dave Douglas shares a birthday with silent film star Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle, and the connection prompted Douglas to research the charismatic comedian. A well-rounded slapstick performer who mentored Buster Keaton and worked wonders with the then-brand-spanking-new medium of cinema, Arbuckle found his screen career cut short in 1921 by a manslaughter charge in one of Hollywood’s first major scandals. Though Arbuckle was eventually acquitted, he never recovered, either personally or professionally.

Douglas leads a jazz quintet and a live DJ on an improv soundtrack to four Fatty films, rehabilitating the reputation of the 20th-century cinema genius. Here’s to the trumpet of justice.

UNDER PRESS-URE

Judith Miller has become a household name. The New York Times journalist spent 12 weeks behind bars for refusing to reveal a source in the investigation of who leaked CIA operative Valerie Plame’s identity. Many Times readers question Miller’s integrity, however, and also why the paper has made exceptions to its own editorial policies for her. The circumstances of this case raise important issues about the freedom of the press, and journalistic protection of confidential sources in the face of compelled testimony. Times Managing Editor Jill Abramson describes how this case and three others involving the nation’s paper of record are compromising investigative journalists’ ability to do their jobs. Questions, anyone?

SEVEN DAYS

free will astrology

L RE A

OCTOBER 13-29

ARIES (March 21-April 19): California’s San Joaquin Valley has the worst air in the state, and as a result, 12 percent of the kids who live there have asthma. The terrible pollution stems largely from burned fossil fuels trapped between the mountain ranges that surround the valley.

Ironically, the smog often hides the mountains from view. Some environmentalists have made that a symbol of what they hope to accomplish as they strive to purify the air. “Fifteen years from now,” one activist told the San Francisco Chronicle, “I have faith that I’ll see the mountains.” Let this be a metaphor for the work you have ahead of you, Aries. Banish what’s obscuring your sight of the big picture.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20): “Life would be a lot less boring if there was a fight to pick.” So mused the narrator of a show about rival monkey groups on cable TV’s “Animal Planet.” The moment I heard this, my psychic sensors went on red alert and the image of a lethargic bull popped into my mind’s eye. “Uhoh,” I thought. “I bet this is a theme I should warn my Taurus readers about.” Checking the astrological aspects, I had my hunch confirmed.

And so I am asking you not to seek an exit from your doldrums by throwing your weight around in a china store or in a crowded room full of sensitive egos. Have a little patience, and your healthy, lusty appetites will soon return, rescuing you from the need to spark an entertaining ruckus.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): There’s not enough time to do all the things you want to do.

You’re constantly rushing to get to places at an appointed hour or to complete a certain task by a deadline. Part of you hates the regimen of doing the same thing at the same hour every day, and part of you hates living your life by schedules set by other people. In short, Gemini, you have an embattled relationship with time. Can anything be done about it? A little. You’re now in a phase when it’s possible to make modest progress. To get in the mood, I suggest you conduct a ritual to

empower yourself. For instance, you could buy a cheap battery-operated alarm clock, take it into a natural place where the rhythms of nature surround you, and smash the clock with a hammer.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your assignment, my fellow Cancerian, is to meditate every day on the following lines of poetry by L. S. Asekoff: “There’s a hole/ in my left shoe/ stuffed with a page/ of Aristotle’s Essay/ on Morals/ which contains/ a grammatical error/ in the first line.” Every secret you need to discover in the coming week can be obtained by holding that image in your mind’s eye and letting it work its magic on you. Clues to your biggest question can be found in the same way.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): British actor John Gielgud was considered one of the greatest Shakespearean actors of the 20th century. He also won an Oscar for his supporting role in the film Arthur. He once said, “People like to hear me say ‘shit’ in my gorgeous voice.” You Leos are likely to have encounters with experiences like that in the coming week. Vulgarity and elegance may arrive wrapped in the same package. Expensive wizardry may use cheap effects. High-quality performances might deliver base emotions. None of these mixed messages will cause you problems as long as you’re discriminating enough to separate the dross from the essence.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In America’s presidential election of 2000, Al Gore received 543,816 more votes than George W. Bush, the candidate who was declared the new commanderin-chief. I foresee the potential for a comparable event occurring in your life soon. An apparent loser may, by some technicality or twist of fate, become the winner. A stronger, more popular option could be eclipsed by a second choice.

There’s a 50-50 chance you can prevent this aberration from coming to pass, but only if you act quickly and with unshakable integrity as you take a fierce stand for what’s fair and just.

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

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Columnist L.M. Boyd told the story of Mark Gubin, a photographer whose business was located near Milwaukee’s airport. A lover of pranks, Gubin decorated his roof with a giant sign that read “Welcome to Cleveland.” Countless passengers arriving in Milwaukee by plane were amused and confused by the greeting. I suspect that a similar event will occur in your life this week, Libra. As you arrive at your new destination, you’ll get signals that lead you to believe you’re not where you thought you were. Ignore the misdirection.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): To an optimist, the glass is half-full. A pessimist says the glass is half-empty. But in the eyes of an engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be. For the foreseeable future, Scorpio, it makes perfect sense for you to think like an engineer. Resist all temptations to be either an optimist or a pessimist. Purge any reflex you have to indulge in hope or fear. Instead, maintain a neutral, objective attitude as you try to see things exactly as they are, then make a calm, reasonable response.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): British physician Joseph Lister (1827-1912) was a pioneer of antiseptic surgery. He even built an unwieldy machine called the donkey engine to spray steamy disinfectant on patients he operated on. His most famous patient was Queen Victoria, whose armpit had an abscess that he healed. She rewarded him with the royal title of baronet, which is like a knighthood except that it can be passed on to one’s heirs. I bring this up, Sagittarius, because there’s a good chance you’ll receive an opportunity comparable to Lister’s.

One of your talents could be called on by an unexpected source — maybe even a higher power or VIP. If you do well, you’ll get a long-lasting reward.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): My friend Glenn suffered a thumb injury while playing softball a few years back. Though it eventually healed, the scar tissue made the thumb less

mobile than it had been before. Three weeks ago, he got stung by a bee in the exact spot where the original wound occurred. It swelled up for a couple days, then receded. Since then, he has enjoyed a dramatic upgrade in the thumb’s freedom of movement. I predict a comparable scenario for you in the coming days, Capricorn. A fresh booboo won’t last long, and — wonder of wonders — it will ameliorate an old booboo.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): When I traveled from San Francisco to Amsterdam with Maureen some years ago, we arrived at our hotel in a state of radical sleep deprivation. The concierge told us our room wasn’t quite ready, and suggested we go kill some time at a nearby tourist attraction. We took his advice, walking a few blocks to the History of Torture Museum.

There we found devices like the Judas Cradle, the Heretic’s Fork and the Chair of Spikes. Being horrified and grossed out helped keep us semiawake, which was good, but we kept nodding off and dreaming of being tortured, which wasn’t so fun. And yet soon we were back at the hotel, safe and sound, catching up on our lost rest. I predict that in the coming week, Aquarius, you will have a series of experiences with an uncanny similarity to ours.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20): In her book Women Who Run With the Wolves, Clarissa Pinkola Estes suggests that we all need to periodically go cheerfully and enthusiastically out of our minds. Make sure, she says, that at least one part of you always remains untamed, uncategorizable and unsubjugated by routine. Be adamant in your determination to stay intimately connected to all that’s inexplicable and mysterious about your life.

At the same time, though, Estes believes you need to keep your unusual urges clear and ordered.

Discipline your wildness, in other words, and never let it degenerate into thoughtless chaos. It’s especially important for you to act on all these principles in the coming weeks.

LOLA

the love counselor Dear Lola, Sex has been sooo much fun again, for the first time in a while. My man and I are well matched for making sex an adventure. We play well together. I am in my forties and recently divorced; he is in his fifties and has never been married. We have been together for six months.

At first, arousal and orgasm happened in a relaxed, no-problem kind of way. Of late, though, I believe I am having a trust issue. Ever since my partner referenced two younger women who came onto him, and now subsequent occasions of him pointing out beautiful and/or hot women, the fact that he can see their nipples, etc., I’ve been feeling less attractive. Consequently, my ease under his hands is waning, as are my orgasms. Perspective and discussion points, please.

Wanting It All in Westford Dear Wanting, Ironically, his remarks probably indicate that he now trusts you enough to share thoughts he’s had all along. It would be unrealistic to ask him to stop checking out other women. But you can ask him to shut up. If he doesn’t, make your own beefcake comments. If nothing else, it will help you lighten up and feel less at his mercy.

Love, Lola
