Hypocrisy

The best method

Couldn’t help but notice Gavin Newsom’s security detail at the Corte Madera/Larkspur 4th of July parade. Big ol’ honkin’ armored SUV, that probably gets 10 miles to the gallon. (Could have been a hybrid though, at 12 miles to the gallon.) Bet his bodyguard was armed as well. Just another example of the bureaucratic elite playing by a different set of rules than us mere mortals. Gavin, next time, just stay home and spare us the expense!

This letter is in response to the coverage of the fatal shooting at Emmanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina and the subsequent surge of momentum to take down the Confederate flag from all public and private places.

The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution states: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

Obviously the need for a state militia has been replaced by the National Guard and Coast Guard whereby trained military personnel are entrusted with the defense of this country against domestic enemies. Their weapons are tightly controlled and safeguarded. The only two reasons for a citizen to own a firearm are for hunting or defense of the household from intruders. In either case, ownership of a handgun, shotgun or rifle is more than adequate to satisfy these purposes.

There is absolutely no need for any U.S. civilian to own any weapon more powerful or sophisticated than these. Accordingly, all handguns, shotguns and rifles must be licensed and registered to the degree necessary to match weapon to owner at the click of a computer key. Furthermore, we must guarantee that the mentally ill do not gain access to them under any circumstances. Finally, if we had prohibited the purchase of more sophisticated weapons

several innocent victims would not have died or been harmed at shopping malls, college campuses, Congressional meetings and now churches.

As for the Confederate flag, I agree that it should be removed from all government buildings because it is neither a national nor state flag. But the outpouring of yanking it (no pun intended) from everywhere else seems a bit extreme. Neither the flag used by the Army of Northern Virginia nor the official flag of the Confederacy had anything to do with being a symbol of pro slavery but rather was the colors adopted by men who chose to fight for the preservation of state’s rights against what was perceived as the growing encroachment of the Federal Government.

Slavery may have been the straw that finally broke the Union’s back but it was the wealthy plantation owners who stood to lose most from the loss of their “peculiar institution.” Instead of following the North’s industrial push they left themselves behind only to be crushed by a more powerful enemy.

Billy Yank and Johnny Reb did not enlist (or get drafted) into their respective armies to aid or oppose slavery; they did it because from each side’s point of view it was the right thing to do. The ending of slavery was just a positive result stemming from the outcome of America’s second revolutionary war. Everyone is certainly entitled to their own opinion of the Civil War, but fortunately they are not entitled to their own facts.

A June report from the anti-poverty advocates at the California Reinvestment Coalition (CRC) focused on the rise of the “Wall Street landlord” and its impact on California renters and would-be homeowners.

Homewrecker

Richard Blum’s fortune grows on the ruins of the American dream By Tom Gogola

A

nd now let us pause to contemplate Richard Blum’s participation in the destruction of the American dream at the hands of a new phenomenon known as the “Wall Street landlord.”

Blum’s wife is Senator Dianne Feinstein. The California legislator’s latest financial disclosure report, filed with the U.S. Secretary of State on May 15, includes a 2014 Blum Family Partners investment of at least $1 million in Colony American Homes Holdings. Blum is the billionaire founder of the privateequity firm Blum Capital Partners.

Colony homes are owned under the umbrella of Colony Capital, one of the largest investment firms in the world.

The senator’s disclosure describes Colony American Homes as a “leading owner and provider of high-quality single-family residences for rental across the United States.”

What it doesn’t say is that the rental stock is made up of foreclosed homes purchased by a handful of investor groups and hedge funds in the aftermath of the 2007–2008 financial crisis and real estate crash. The Blackstone Group and Waypoint Homes join Colony Capital in this business, along with

American Homes 4 Rent and Silver Bay Realty.

Blum is often identified as a quintessential Democratic Party insider, with ties that run the gamut from Jimmy Carter to the Dalai Lama. His private-equity firm manages about $500 million in assets, and the bulk of the fund’s portfolio is dominated by holdings in CBRE, the world’s largest commercial real estate services firm.

Though Blum has taken pains to deny it, reports say that he’s worth at least $1 billion. According to a recent Roll Call survey, Feinstein’s net worth is $45.3 million, which puts her in the top tier of wealthy

Washington lawmakers.

Colony American Homes was one of several investor-owned landlords highlighted in a June report from the anti-poverty advocates at the California Reinvestment Coalition (CRC). That study focused on the rise of the Wall Street landlord and its impact on California renters and would-be homeowners.

The verdict from the CRC is that Colony American Homes has not been an especially good landlord: Rents are above average, utilities generally aren’t included, and maintenance is poor, at best.

Moreover, would-be first-time homeowners in California often find themselves squeezed out by cash-rich corporate buyers like Colony American Homes. Rents are going up, and the landlord is nowhere to be seen.

“Neighborhoods are changing, income diversity is changing, the tenure of residents is changing,” says CRC Associate Director Kevin Stein, an author of the report. The investor grab of housing stock, he says, “is destabilizing neighborhoods and creating a lot of displacement.”

The CRC survey found that real estate investment trusts, private equity firms and hedge funds have spent $25 billion buying more than 150,000 distressed homes around the country since 2012.

“This whole situation is only possible because of a financial crisis that was engineered by Wall Street,” says Stein. “This is investors profiting off of foreclosure.”

What can be done? Stein says that Governor Jerry Brown could “use his bully pulpit to talk about the importance of neighborhood stability, and to acknowledge that there’s extreme gentrification and displacement going on.”

Or Brown could pay back the $331 million he diverted from foreclosure relief for homeowners in 2012 to solve the state budget crisis. The Associated Press reported this week that lawmakers and community groups have called on Brown to repay the money, after a Sacramento judge ruled that he had illegally funneled the foreclosure monies into the state’s general fund.

A May report from the California advocacy group Tenants Together also weighed in on so-called Wall Street landlords. The organization reported that Colony has, to date, purchased more than 2,000 formerly foreclosed properties in California and flipped them into rentals.

Banks help investors do this by converting future rental income on properties into securities, which are then turned back to the investors as loans. “Wall Street has also issued

exempts Feinstein from having to provide any further detail on Colony American Homes, since the investment is held independently by Blum. As such, Feinstein didn’t have to indicate anything beyond that the investment eclipsed $1 million.

No surprise there, says Henwood.

“This is entirely consistent with the Democrats. Real estate, and especially urban real estate, is one of the lifebloods of Democratic party financing.”

The investment in Colony American Homes earned Feinstein and Blum between $50,000 and $100,000 in capital gains and interest in 2014, according to the disclosure report. In contrast, the average down payment for a singlefamily home in 2014 was $32,000, according to the online real estate service RealtyTrac.

In response to questions about the investment, Feinstein’s communication director Tom Mentzer says that “Senator Feinstein has no involvement in her husband’s business decisions.

Her assets are in a blind trust, which has been the case since she arrived in the Senate, and I have no information on her husband’s assets.”

A phone call to Blum Capital Partners was not returned. ✹

or rent in the North Bay doesn’t yield many hits—but that may not mean anything, says Stein.

“It could be that there’s more happening than what you see, because some of the sales are happening before anybody even knows a property is available,” he says, “and it’s not known because it has already been sold to Colony.”

Doug Henwood, an economics journalist and author of Wall Street: How It Works and for Whom, says that investor-driven home purchases follow the general model of privateequity deals. “They are in it for the short-term, the medium-term,” says Henwood. “They are not in it for the long haul. The incentive is to screw the tenants over completely, minimize repairs and maximize rents.”

The senator’s disclosure report lists the Colony American Homes investment in the section of Feinstein’s “non-publicly traded assets and unearned income sources,” which also includes another Colony distressed-asset fund, Colony American Homes War I, LLC. According to the report, Blum Family Partners has a $50,000– $100,000 investment in Colony American Homes War I, LLC and no reported 2014 income from that investment. The disclosure form

Director Caroline Peattie describes a full-circle foreclosure dynamic that hit poorer communities in the North Bay. “Banks targeted communities of color with a disproportionate number of unaffordable subprime loans,” she says. “Those same communities suffered a disproportionate number of foreclosures; the banks then failed to maintain and market those properties; and, finally, banks have been selling foreclosed homes in bulk to investors who care nothing about the property, the tenants who live in those properties, nor the neighborhood.”

Just as Feinstein was putting the finishing touches on her May 15 financial disclosure report, Tenants Together released its study, “The New Single-Family Home Renters of California,” on May 12.

The statewide tenants’ rights organization found that renters of single-family homes from the three biggest corporate landlords in the state—Blackstone/Invitation Homes, Waypoint Homes and Colony American Homes—“pay higher rents than their neighbors and face challenges getting repairs.”

Those companies together own about 9,500 properties in California, according to Tenants Together. A scan of available investor-owned properties for sale

over $8 billion in securities tied to almost 60,000 homes,” some owned

by Colony, reports the CRC. The loans are then used to purchase additional distressed properties, notes CRC. This has conspired to fuel a growing market in investor-purchased single-family homes.

The investor-led push to buy distressed single-family homes, says Stein, means that individual buyers often get pushed out of the market. The CRC survey heard from numerous would-be firsttime home buyers, he says, “who could get decent loans but couldn’t successfully bid on properties.”

Nonprofits and developers who want to build affordable housing are often outbid, and local businesspeople, many of them from communities of color, “feel that they are being circumvented.

These deals are going around local businesspeople,” says Stein. “There is an issue of the amount that [investors] are bidding and that their offers are in cash.”

Fair Housing of Marin was one of 70 signatories to the CRC report. Over the past few years the North Bay housing nonprofit has identified chronic maintenance failures at bank-owned homes in poor communities.

▲ The threshold of Marin, a tunnel with arches painted in the colors of a brilliant rainbow, will soon be named the Robin Williams Tunnel. Julie Wainwright of Belvedere gathered almost 62,000 signatures on a Change.org petition seeking to rechristen the tunnel to honor Williams, the cherished comedian and actor, who lived in Tiburon and committed suicide last August. Assemblyman Marc Levine (D-San Rafael) responded by introducing a resolution for the name change, which was approved by the California state legislature. “I am thrilled to hear that the Rainbow Tunnel name change was approved, as it speaks to the universal love towards Robin Williams,” Wainwright said. Her company, The RealReal, will underwrite the cost of the signage for the Robin Williams Tunnel. Well done, Julie Wainwright.

▼ After a long day at the Italian Street Painting Marin festival in San Rafael last week, Richard and his two young children headed home for dinner. His 6-year-old son’s favorite drawing, the adorable pug, was still a work-in-progress, so they hurried back after their meal to see the completed masterpiece. Unfortunately, the gate closed minutes before the San Rafael trio returned. The power-hungry guard at the west gate refused entry to them, though there were at least 100 people still inside and they only wanted to see the pug. As the disappointed 6-year-old cried, the wannabe cop threatened to have Richard arrested for trespassing. The child remains scared that the police are coming for his dad.

Robert Durst, who is currently in prison in Louisiana, has been described as “eccentric” and an “odd duck.”

Golden State Psycho

Robert Durst, the focus of HBO’s ‘The Jinx,’ called Northern California home in the 1990s and early 2000s. Did he leave a trail of death?

By Geoffrey Dunn

O

n Dec. 19, 2000, shuttle driver Ross Vitalie, the owner of Door-to-Door Airporter in Humboldt County, picked up his fare—a slight figure in his early 50s with an odd, gruff manner of speaking and peculiar facial tics—at what was then known as the Arcata Airport, a small-town airfield with a couple of runways originally built by the U.S. Navy during World War II.

The dark-haired and affable Vitalie then headed roughly 15 miles south down Highway 101 to Harper Motors, a Ford dealership located just north of Eureka, where his passenger picked up some keys for his car stored in long-term parking at the airport. Vitalie drove him back. The round trip took little more than 30 minutes.

Vitalie’s passenger had been a regular customer over the past halfdecade. “You could say he was a little bit strange,” says Vitalie, a muscular six-footer who studied martial arts in college. “For his size, he could be very demanding.”

Airport records would later indicate that Vitalie’s passenger had often stored his car in long-

term parking in the years prior.

The records also indicated that he removed his car from the lot that afternoon. Vitalie dropped off his passenger—whom he called simply “Bob”—at the airport, and bid him adieu.

“He was a loner,” Vitalie recalls.

“The only thing I remember was him asking what was going on around town whenever he returned.

He’d want to know if anything was going on with the police department.”

Vitalie’s fare that day was none other than Robert Durst, the quirky and allegedly deadly scion of a Manhattan real estate dynasty.

He had relocated to the seaside California town of Trinidad in late

1994 or early 1995, shortly after his father, Seymour Durst, passed him over, installing Durst’s younger brother Douglas as head of the family’s billion-dollar high-rise empire.

The controversial, albeit intoxicating, documentary series The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst, which aired on HBO this past winter, made it seem as though Robert Durst never wanted to serve as head of the family business, but that’s one of many false narratives established by Durst after the fact, as a way of putting off anyone on his trail.

Those close to him knew better.

Golden State Psycho «9 younger sibling, angry and bitter, and that he had blown up in the plush Manhattan offices of the Durst Organization when he had been told the news.

Crushed Like a Bug Durst had come to the Emerald Triangle in Northern California—a place where pot was plentiful and accessible, and where he could go essentially unrecognized—to get away from his father and brother, to break away from the long arm of his family’s influence. Maybe he had darker visions as well.

A decade earlier, Durst had been the prime suspect following the disappearance of his young and beautiful wife, Kathie McCormack Durst, who went missing in the winter of 1982, when the Dursts’ marriage had deteriorated into coke and drinking binges, a series of sexual affairs and violent outbursts.

Durst had spun a tale about his wife’s disappearance—and, many believe, got away with murder.

Those close to Durst—family, friends, you name them—have described him as an inveterate liar, “incapable of telling the truth,” in the words of his brother Douglas.

Although he would claim otherwise in The Jinx, he was also extremely skilled in his duplicity. More than once, law enforcement officials took the bait. They swallowed it hook, line and sinker in New York.

And they may have swallowed it in California, too.

According to records in the Humboldt County Recorder’s Office, Durst purchased a threestory ocean-view home in Trinidad from Diane Bueche in June of 1995.

“It was very rural,” Durst would tell Jinx director Andrew Jarecki about Trinidad in an interview for the film. “Very pretty.”

Located on the corner of Van Wycke and Galindo streets in the picturesque seaside village, Durst’s residence—with wall-to-wall decking and full-length picture windows on each level—afforded sweeping views of the Trinidad waterfront, arguably one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in Northern California.

Bueche lived directly next door to Durst on Van Wycke, in a sprawling two-story shingled home with equally breathtaking views. The

outgoing, well-off Bueche was “a bon vivant” to her friends (many called her “Bo”) who owned and managed several properties in Humboldt and Trinity counties.

She quickly became Durst’s friend, confidante and social guide to the North Coast. They went out to dinner, movies and cultural events.

“Bobby” Durst, as he was most frequently known, generally kept to himself among strangers, but he had surprising charm around women.

They seemed to hover over him, guarding him, maybe even wanting to “mother” him, according to one friend. That he was receptive to such affection shouldn’t have been surprising, since his own mother had committed suicide when he was seven—though not, as he would often claim, directly in front of him.

Durst liked to stretch the truth on that story, too.

His first wife, Kathie, was a beautiful, bright 19-year-old when he met her. By the time she disappeared, it is widely known that Durst had taken up with Prudence Farrow, the younger sister of actress Mia Farrow and the subject of the Beatles’ song “Dear Prudence,” written by John Lennon. Some suspected that Bueche and Durst were an item in Trinidad, but no one seems to have known for sure.

One police report, drafted in 2003, asserts that Durst only had sex with prostitutes after the disappearance of Kathie in 1982.

More than likely, the BuecheDurst relationship was platonic, though they kept in close contact with each other, even when one of them was out of town.

Bueche would later say that they connected by phone, email, fax and letters. Durst, who still used his Manhattan letterhead for business communication, had stationery printed with his Trinidad address on it for local and personal correspondence.

In one letter Durst sent to Bueche (a copy of which was provided by Matt Birkbeck, author of A Deadly Secret: The Bizarre and Chilling Story of Robert Durst), he said that he had “so much fucking energy these days I feel like the top of my head is coming off.” He cryptically mentioned rearranging the furniture in Bueche’s bedroom and upgrading his burglar alarm. He asked rhetorically, “Do you know it is illegal to shoot your pistol in

In 1995, Durst purchased a three-story, ocean-view home in Trinidad, California.

town even in self defense[?]”

In another handwritten note that Durst faxed to Bueche, he declared: “I’d love to joust with you, but you might crush me like a bug. However, if you enjoy crushing bugs, call me. … Maybe I’ll get to bite you real good before I’m cornered.”

An ‘Odd Duck’ Those who knew Durst in Trinidad mostly refused to talk about him on the record, but privately they tell of an odd little man (“a weird, weird dude,” said one; “a very strange guy” and “spooky,” said another) who threw his money around with a small coterie of acquaintances, and who talked big—but whose stories never quite added up.

Durst had told Bueche and others that he had a daughter (he did not), and that he was planning to develop property in an isolated region north of Trinidad known as Big Lagoon, only to run afoul of the California Coastal Commission. There’s no record of that. For a while he kept an office in Eureka’s “Old Town,” on E Street, though what he actually did there is anyone’s guess. At one point, he claimed to be a botanist for the Pacific Lumber Company.

At other times, he claimed to be an insurance investigator or a rare metals expert. None of it was true.

Durst was essentially computer illiterate when he arrived in Humboldt, and incapable of typing as well. He put up an advertisement for a computer tech at Humboldt State University’s career center in Arcata and eventually hired an HSU

student, Michael Glass, who worked for Durst at his home in Trinidad for several years. Like most who encountered Durst in Humboldt County, Glass described him as being an “odd duck” and “eccentric.”

One memory for Glass stands out. He recalls that Durst was thoroughly infatuated with Pixar’s computer-animated blockbuster Toy Story, which was released in 1995, right around the time Durst arrived in Humboldt. Durst wanted all the imagery on his computer—the screen saver, etc.—related to Toy Story. Durst, Glass recalls, powerfully identified with the film.

A Confidante The same day—Dec. 19, 2000— that Durst rode with Ross Vitalie to and from the Arcata Airport, his longtime friend and intimate, Susan Berman, a struggling writer in Los Angeles, had a conversation with one of her closest friends, the actress Kim Lankford.

Lankford, who had starred in the primetime soap opera Knots Landing in the late 1970s, would later recall that Berman was especially excited that day, claiming in an interview with New York magazine writer Lisa DePaulo that Berman was about to break a big story “that was going to blow the top off things.”

Berman was always on the verge of something, always a handful.

She was the daughter of Las Vegas mobster David Berman—also known as “Davie the Jew”—a close associate of the legendary Vegas Mafioso Bugsy Siegel, who had been assassinated by rival gangsters

in 1947. Lankford presumed that her friend’s big revelation had something to do with mob history, maybe about who had killed Siegel.

Berman had met Durst at UCLA in the late 1960s and had reportedly bonded over issues of losing a beloved parent from violence in their childhoods. She had migrated to the Bay Area after college, where she became a well-known writer at the San Francisco Examiner after penning a Sunday magazine piece titled “Why I Can’t Get Laid in San Francisco.”

By the new millennium, Berman, who had relocated to Los Angeles, was begging her friends for money, in debt to everyone. And with Berman, it was always a crisis, always high theater, always about her. She was the prototypical drama queen.

Through it all, however, Durst and Berman remained loyal to each other. When Durst’s wife Kathie went missing in 1982, Berman had served as Durst’s spokesperson, and, as many now believe, may have helped to mislead investigators by placing a call to the medical school at which Kathie was a student, claiming to be Kathie and saying that she would be absent from school the day after she went missing.

While they were no longer as close as they once were, sometime in the fall of 2000, after investigators in New York had kick-started a new investigation into Kathie’s disappearance, Robert Durst had sent Berman, now living in a rundown bungalow in Beverly Hills, two checks for $25,000 each—a $50,000 gift, he made clear, not a

Drifter and Murderer?

Today, the ailing 72-year-old Durst, currently incarcerated in the St. Charles Parish Jail in Louisiana, is facing federal gun charges, and after that process plays itself out this fall, he’ll be facing extradition proceedings to bring him back to Los Angeles on murder charges.

Many of the people I’ve spoken to in the past several months don’t think that Durst will ever see the light of day again—but they

thought the same thing when he was arrested for the murder of Morris Black in 2001. “[Durst] never stayed in one place for more than a few days,” says Cody Cazalas, the lanky mustachioed investigator from Galveston, Texas, who provided The Jinx with its soul, if not its conscience. “He’d fly from Texas to California to Louisiana then back to Florida then Texas again,” Cazalas says. “He was extremely mobile and very secretive about his movements. Two or three days was about it in any one place.

He was all over the charts.”

Gone Missing Little more than two years after Durst was arrested in Mendocino and had settled into his ocean-view digs in Trinidad, a 16-year-old high school student from Eureka—Karen Marie Mitchell—was declared missing after visiting her aunt’s shoe store at the Bayshore Mall on the south side of town. The Mitchell case captivated and galvanized the community. Over the next several years, numerous leads were exhausted, and several suspects were identified, though, ultimately, nothing came to fruition.

Although it’s not clear when Durst appeared on the radar of Eureka investigators, according to newspaper records, Mitchell’s aunt, Annie Casper (with whom Karen was residing at the time of her disappearance), first publicly identified Durst by name as a suspect in her niece’s case in December of 2001, not 2003, as has often been claimed in the media.

It’s never been clear how seriously Humboldt County investigators took Durst as a suspect in the Mitchell disappearance. For a while, at least, they had their eyes on someone else, a Humboldt County trucker named Wayne Adam Ford, who eventually confessed to killing four women (but adamantly denied killing Mitchell)—and federal investigators had flight records appearing to indicate that Durst wasn’t in Eureka on the day of the abduction.

Shortly before Mitchell went missing in 1997, there was another disappearance of a young woman in Northern California, Kristen Modafferi, an 18-year-old student from North Carolina visiting the Bay Area for the summer. Since Modafferi was living in the East Bay at the time (she was taking a summer course in photography at

UC Berkeley), her disappearance was investigated by the Oakland Police Department. One of the suspects in the Modafferi case fit a profile similar to Durst, particularly in respect to cross-dressing and prowling around homeless shelters.

The Oakland investigators felt there might be a connection.

Although Bay Area investigators didn’t have sufficient evidence to pursue Durst in respect to Modafferi’s disappearance, they felt that there was reason to do so in respect to the disappearance of Karen Mitchell. According to Birkbeck’s Deadly Secret, East Bay investigators believed that Durst had flown into the Arcata Airport on Nov. 25, 1997, the day of Mitchell’s disappearance. They had subpoenaed credit card and Federal Express records indicating Durst’s presence in Humboldt County that day.

One thing that can happen when criminal cases fall under separate jurisdictions is investigators get territorial, toes get stepped on, egos bruised. Outsiders often get marginalized by local cops who take personal possession of a case.

“You hear about it from time to time,” Cazalas tells me in his distinctive South Texas drawl. “And it baffles the shit out of me, to be honest with you. It’s just a cryin’ shame … If it happened anywhere involving [Durst], like I said, that’s a cryin’ shame.”

‘Duped’ and Dead The timing of Durst’s drive from Humboldt County to Los Angeles in 2000 comes as no surprise to investigators who have followed the Durst case closely. On Halloween of 2000, Durst received a tip— reportedly from his sister, which the Durst Corporation denies—that law enforcement officials in New York had reopened the case of Kathie Durst’s disappearance.

The heat was back on. In early November, Durst bought an engagement ring for one of his girlfriends, Debrah Lee Charatan, an accomplished, high-powered Manhattan real estate agent. Then, on November 15, according to Birkbeck, Durst called an apartment owner in Galveston on behalf of a “deaf-mute woman,” Dorothy Ciner (one of Durst’s many aliases). What this means is that Durst had set up shop in Galveston even before he had cleared out of Northern California. »12

loan—which many journalists and investigators later figured may have been hush money for whatever role Berman played in Kathie’s fate.

On Christmas Eve, five days after Durst had flown into Humboldt County, Los Angeles police made a startling discovery. Berman was found face down in a pool of blood on her bedroom floor, executed by a single shot from a 9mm pistol to the back of her head. Since there had been no forced entry into Berman’s home, investigators immediately speculated that whoever killed the mobster’s daughter was a person she knew.

That same day, the Beverly Hills Police Department received an anonymous note indicating that there was a “cadaver” at Berman’s address on Benedict Canyon Drive. The note may have been anonymous, but the author left a telltale sign, spelling “Beverley Hills” incorrectly, with an extra e.

Nearly 15 years after the grisly discovery at Berman’s home (and only hours before the climax of The Jinx on HBO), the county of Los Angeles filed a felony complaint: “On or between Dec. 22, 2000, and Dec. 23, 2000, in the County of Los Angeles, the crime of MURDER . . . was committed by ROBERT DURST, who did unlawfully, and with malice aforethought, murder SUSAN BERMAN, a human being.”

The saga of Robert Durst and the many deaths that surround him has become, in recent months, part of the national cultural fabric. Durst has emerged—there is really no other way to put it—as a celebrity killer and international sensation.

That he was found not guilty of the 2001 killing of Morris Black on the grounds of self-defense (never mind that he dismembered the corpse and tossed it into Galveston Bay) has only added to Durst’s creepy celebrity status and media mystique.

Golden State Psycho «11 Durst’s erratic behavior during this time was also duly noted in Trinidad, where his confidante Diane Bueche began to feel uneasy.

At first she defended Durst when television crews came to Trinidad during the spring of 2001 for the ABC shows Vanished and Prime Time, feeling that Durst was “the victim of a ruthless press.” Ironically, Durst had suggested that she watch Unsolved Mysteries, which featured a segment on his wife—perhaps, Bueche later speculated, to deter concern on her part should she have come across it on her own.

By the fall of 2001, however, when Durst went on the lam following the death of Morris Black, Bueche became more than a little concerned. Bueche eventually contacted Judy Hodgson, publisher of the North Coast Journal, to tell her the Durst story. Hodgson says that Bueche “did not look well” at the time, telling Hodgson that she was “ill and dying of cancer.” Bueche, recalls Hodgson, “felt a little duped or stupid for originally taking Durst’s side.”

A few months later, a psychic named Barbara Stamps told the New York Post that she began “picking up on dark energy” at Durst’s former Trinidad home directly next door to Bueche’s residence, and “had very strong feelings that a murder had been committed there.” Stamps said that she had “mental images” of the home as early as May 16, 2000— long before the killings of Berman and Black.

Once again, those in Trinidad became anxious. Many worried that they had recently had a murderer in their midst. Only months after the psychic identified Durst’s home, Diane Bueche was found dead in the master bedroom next door. At first, I was told that Bueche had died of cancer. Later, I discovered that she had committed suicide, shot through her head with a Smith & Wesson .357 revolver. The bullet had exited through the back of her skull, penetrating the mattress.

Durst was in custody in Galveston at the time, but there are those in Trinidad and elsewhere who still have questions about Bueche’s death.

Serial Killer?

On a cold and windy day in Eureka this spring, I sat in a Starbucks with Andy Mills, the city’s recently appointed police chief, who in the aftermath of Durst’s arrest in March has quietly reopened the Karen Mitchell case.

Mills, who arrived in Eureka highly touted from San Diego, was candid and forthcoming. He described the Mitchell investigation as “reinvigorated and active,” and says that though he was unable to identify any new evidence involving Durst, Durst is very much in play as a suspect.

Since then, I’ve discovered that the FBI has assembled an unofficial national task force specifically looking at a multitude of unsolved murders and disappearances wherever Durst has lived, stretching back more than 40 years. Indeed, there’s a case involving a young girl who vanished after frequenting Durst’s health food store in Vermont in 1971.

During my trip through Northern California last month, following Durst’s ghost behind the Redwood Curtain, I re-read portions of Bret Easton Ellis’ American Psycho, the controversial novel about Manhattan investment banker Patrick Bateman, whose decadent lifestyle descends into a series of grotesque murders. Several passages seemed surprisingly reminiscent of Durst, this one in particular: Myself is fabricated, an aberration. I am a noncontingent human being. My personality is sketchy and unformed, my heartlessness goes deep and is persistent. ... All I have in common with the uncontrollable and the insane, the vicious and the evil, all the mayhem I have caused and my utter indifference toward it, I have now surpassed. ... My pain is constant and sharp and I do not hope for a better world for anyone. In fact, I want my pain to be inflicted on others.

The passages were unnerving.

They haunted me as I reflected on this story on the long drive along the Mendocino and Humboldt coastlines, then back home along the Highway 101 corridor, through the wine country of Mendocino and Sonoma counties and into the Bay Area. Somewhere I had read that Durst had rented the movie American Psycho when he was dating a woman from Dallas in 2000.

Durst, she said, “was all excited about American Psycho.” The woman said he had a room in his luxury Dallas apartment with concrete flooring and an electric saw. He told her he was dealing in “chemicals.”

Several law enforcement officials have told me they now think Durst may be a serial killer, over a span that stretches more than 40 years.

In the cases of his wife Kathie, his friend Susan Berman, and then Morris Black, he may well have had overt motives for killing them. But what about the various dotted lines that link those three known targets?

During the Morris Black investigation, Cazalas thought that the murderer “had done this before.” Durst’s brother Douglas, who in a recent New York Times interview said that “there’s no doubt in my mind that if he had the opportunity to kill me, he would,” also believes that his brother killed seven of his own dogs, all named Igor. The judge from Durst’s murder trial in Galveston believes that Durst left the severed head of a cat on her doorstep.

A Deadly Pattern I discussed the matter of what seems to be two distinct patterns of killing with a Northern California psychiatrist who specializes in criminal psychology. He said that, yes, the killings beyond the three we know of could be consistent with the pathology of a single serial killer. He also added an interesting caveat: Durst’s decision to be filmed on The Jinx could also be viewed as emanating from the same behavioral reservoir—that of calling attention to himself and humiliating his family.

As I went through my thick file of interview notes, reports and various articles that I had accumulated for this story, I came across a chilling note from Bradley written in October of 2004. “I reasonably believe Durst was a serial killer,” he wrote. “Others believe Durst only kills people he knows and with whom he has become enraged. I counter that his comfort level with killing is so secure, he kills strangers for practice then people directly connected to him and just does not worry about discovery.”

It seems that Robert Durst is always trying to get caught—he said so himself in The Jinx. When he was asked about the letter addressed to the “Beverley Hills” Police Department on the day of Susan

Berman’s murder, he acknowledged that the killer was “taking a big risk.

You’re sending a letter to police that only the killer could have written.”

Authorities in Los Angeles believe that Durst wrote the now infamous letter.

Moreover, Durst reportedly left mail with his address on it, along with parts of Morris Black’s body, in garbage bags in Galveston Bay; he told lies to New York City detectives about his wife’s disappearance that were easily discovered; he stole some Band-Aids and a hoagie at a market in Pennsylvania when he had $500 in cash in his pocket. Most recently, he urinated on some candy bars in a Houston convenience store while security cameras recorded his activities.

Durst always has a counternarrative to explain away his actions. It’s a cat-and-mouse game he seems to enjoy playing. How else does one explain his participating in a film project that ultimately resulted in his arrest?

Through his defense attorney Dick DeGuerin, Durst has denied involvement in all of these murders.

But while much attention has been paid to Durst’s shocking confessional at the end of The Jinx— “There it is. You’re caught. You’re right, of course. … What the hell did I do? Killed them all, of course”— there was an even more telling revelation earlier in the series, when he declared, “There’s a lot of people out there who think I killed my wife, that I killed Susan Berman, that I intentionally murdered Morris Black, and it’s quite possible that he’s killed a whole slew of other people.” (Emphasis added).

Note the change from the first to third person in the middle of the sentence. Nobody had brought up “other people.” In the parlance of poker players, it’s a tell.

I asked Cazalas—who believes that Durst killed his wife and Susan Berman, along with Morris Black— if it would surprise him if Durst had killed more people. “No,” he says, with a long drawn-out pause. “No, no, it wouldn’t.”

Maybe Robert Durst is trying to tell us something. Perhaps there are a whole slew of other people.

Maybe, just maybe, he did kill them all.✹ This is a condensed version of Dunn’s article. To read the full story, visit pacificsun.com.

Integrity in baking

Novato’s Teeny Cake offers more than perfect cupcakes By Tanya Henry

C

hemist-turned-cupcakemaker Michelle Mahoney claims to use her science acumen in the kitchen far more than she ever did as a scientist.

The Georgia Tech graduate moved to Silicon Valley from a small southern town to work on a coveted project examining the feasibility of growing plants in space for the NASA Ames Research Center. But it was her quest for the perfect cupcake that ultimately led her out of the laboratory and into the kitchen.

“I wanted something that tasted like vanilla ice cream,” explains the always-on-the-go Mahoney.

She began baking and testing, and within six months she had developed the perfect bite-sized cake. She quit her research job and began selling her signature vanilla, olive oil and sea salt cupcakes at local farmers’ markets in 2009. In September of last year, Mahoney and her husband Kevin (a P.E. elementary school teacher) opened Teeny Cake at 7400 Redwood Boulevard in Novato.

After a relatively short nine months, Mahoney had transformed a longtime empty office space into a gleaming storefront, complete with a professional exhibition kitchen, café space and a party room for hosting tea parties and birthdays.

The 1,700 square-foot boutique bakery boasts a sleek, modern look with greys and purples punctuating the bright room. Mahoney has her fingers in many pies, so the 6-yearold business continues to expand its online, catering and party offerings.

Though known for their signature cupcakes, Teeny Cake’s offerings include a craveable cherry almond scone, biscuits and sweets of all kinds—macaroons, brownies and, of course, an array of flavorful cupcakes. An afternoon tea menu features a tasty kale and quinoa salad, assorted finger sandwiches and fresh fruit. From her years at the farmers’ markets (she still attends the Civic Center, Fairfax and San Rafael markets), Mahoney has become friends with local farmers and sources as much organic, local produce from them as possible. She also serves Equator Coffee and Teas.

When asked if she thinks cupcakes are on the downward end of a trend, Mahoney responds confidently, “No—I really strive to maintain the integrity of my products and offer lots of new and interesting choices.” She adds, “Mostly I just love creating something great in a small package—it’s not just a cupcake; it’s a dessert and something to savor.”✹

Dinosaurs roam free at a theme park in the summer blockbuster ‘Jurassic World.’

Defying logic

Barbara Harrison examines probability of ‘Jurassic World’ By David Templeton

‘I

personally, can barely walk in high heels,” says Barbara Harrison, “let alone run through swamps. Watching cloned dinosaurs romping at a theme park only barely stretched my sense of credibility, but that woman running around through the whole movie in high heels—that definitely defied logic.”

Barbara Harrison is co-owner of Tom Harrison Maps, a Marinbased company that makes detailed topographical maps of state parks, forests and wilderness areas for use by hikers, backpackers and adventureseekers, some of whom might jump at the chance to walk among living dinosaurs, like the ones in the new movie Jurassic World, but none of whom would do so in the kind of footwear worn by Bryce Dallas Howard as the executive in charge of the park.

“Also, my husband Tom used to be a park ranger,” Harrison adds, “and we lived on Angel Island for a while.

Bringing 20,000 people onto an island the size of the one in Jurassic World—it’s just not possible. There is no way they would have the facility to accommodate all those people and still have room for dinosaurs.

“But that’s just my two cents worth.”

Harrison sees a lot of movies … when she’s not traveling the world.

And even then she sometimes takes time to see a film or two. Sometimes serving as spokesperson and media representative for her family’s everthriving and popular map company (tomharrisonmaps.com), Harrison nonetheless considers herself retired, leaving lots of time to pursue her cinematic and globe-hopping interests. Call her a professional movie-going hobbyist, with tastes that run the gamut from artsy foreign films—especially those from or about Iran, where she spent part of her childhood—all the way to big Hollywood blockbusters.

Not that she doesn’t have standards. For example, she did not originally plan to see Jurassic World, which has already become the summer’s biggest hit, devouring box offices all over the world.

“I see these previews for films that are either sequels, or remakes of other films,” she explains, “and they’ve all started looking like the same movie.

There are explosions, and there are fights, and you can’t tell the good guys from the bad guys. So when I saw that Jurassic World was coming, I thought, ‘Another sequel! Do I really want to waste my time with this?’” Then she saw Mad Max: Fury Road, yet another

sequel/reboot, which she caught in 3D on the recommendation of friends.

Though she ultimately disliked the film—“I liked the original Mad Max movies much better,” she says—there was a trailer for Jurassic World during the previews, and Harrison was quite taken at how good the 3D dinosaurs looked.

“I sat there with my glasses on going, ‘Wow! That actually looks kind of amazing. And Tom wanted to see it, so I thought, ‘OK, as long as we see it in 3D.’ I like 3D. I especially enjoy animated 3D movies, because they tend to be done in bright colors, which tend to come through even with the 3D glasses on, which often make movies look dark. That didn’t bother me so much with Jurassic World though, because it’s kind of a dark movie. It has a dark theme, and you are sort of in the jungle.

“And those dinosaurs,” she adds. “In 3D, they really do pop off the screen.”

A scary thought, that.

“The thing is, I will see pretty much anything,” she says with a laugh.

“I wouldn’t say it was my favorite action movie of the year, but it was enjoyable enough. I have to say though, I’ve noticed lately that there just aren’t as many good movies as there used to be. Even amongst the big summertime action films. So maybe it doesn’t take as much to stand out from the pack as it used to, because the pack is not what it used to be.”

There’s a survival-of-the-fittest, dinosaur vs. dinosaur metaphor in there somewhere, and it’s hard to disagree with Harrison’s summation.

For the record, by the way, her actual favorite action film of the year so far is Kingsmen: The Secret Service.

“I thought it was a hoot,” she admits. “And I thought the theme of exploding heads was just hilarious!”

As for Jurassic World, in which the original plans for a theme park have been realized, drawing 20,000 people a day to an island crammed with hotels, rides and a bunch of dinosaurs, Harrison appreciated more than just the 3D photography. She loved the setting, as much of the movie had been filmed in Hawaii.

“We started going in the ’70s, on the cheap,” she says of the Aloha State.

“The first time we went we found a place two blocks from the beach for $12 a night. And then, shortly after that they built the military hotel on Waikiki, and we always try to go there if we can get in, because it’s the only green space left in Waikiki, and it’s cheap—compared to other hotels in Waikiki, anyway. Oahu is my favorite island, and some of the scenes in Jurassic World, I noticed, were filmed there, though most of it was filmed on Kauai. I actually liked the movie Aloha, despite its problems, because I just like movies about Hawaii, because it’s fun to see movies about places I’ve been.

“I like Iranian movies for the same reason.”

Harrison attended the American High School in Iran, in the ’60s.

“We just got back from a trip to Iran, the first time I’ve been back since I lived there,” she says. “I love it when I see a movie and get to say to myself, ‘Oooh. I know that place. I’ve been there. It feels like home. That’s a very special feeling.”

Even if there are genetically modified dinosaur clones chasing people through all that familiar scenery?

“Well, if the dinosaurs are in 3D,” Harrison says with a laugh, “then yes, definitely. Even then.”

Just don’t try to teach those dinosaurs to walk in high heels.

The natural world can only take so much abuse.✹

THEATER

Dried-up American dream

favorite booze.

Enter their new neighbors, Kenny (Patrick Kelly Jones) and Sharon (Luisa Frasconi), penniless recovering drug addicts who are moving into the empty house next door, courtesy of Kenny’s justdeceased aunt. He is employed as a warehouseman and she deals with consumer complaints at a call center. For reasons known only to them—but perhaps related to their collective misery—these four disparate people quickly bond in a figurative and literal dance that presages the play’s cataclysmic finale.

Under the direction of Josh Costello, who is known for his emphasis on actors’ physicality, Aurora’s ensemble enlivens the 100-minute, no intermission play and makes the most of its sporadic opportunities for humor.

Sometimes, however, one has the feeling that they are working too hard to make a dying horse stand up and walk to the finish line. Which leads to the larger question: How many more films, TV series, novels and—yes, plays—do we need to tell us that things aren’t going very well these days here in our very own America the Beautiful? And when does it stop being funny? ✹

the contradiction and its effect on Americans’ behavior and outlook.

Early on, the impact was given tragic overtones, as in O’Neill’s The Hairy Ape and Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman. Lately, though, the preferred lens has been satire, frequently including elements of outright farce.

This is where D’Amour’s Detroit comes in. Although the title suggests that it is based on Motor City’s decline into bankruptcy during the recent Great Recession (the play was written in 2009 and debuted at Chicago’s Steppenwolf Theatre a year later), D’Amour is quoted in a program note as saying, “It’s about a particular anxiety the name of that city evokes … a symbol to so many people of the American Dream drying up.”

Ben (Jeff Garrett) and his wife Mary (Amy Resnick), both earlymiddle-aged, live in the outer suburban ring of a typical heartland city. Due to the recession’s impact on real estate sales, he has been laid off from his longtime position as a bank loan officer. His announced intent to replace it with an online financial consulting service is taken with a grain of salt by Mary, who is herself unhappily locked into a sterile paralegal job, for which the remedy is a glass or two of her

Aurora Theatre Company’s ‘Detroit’ explores what is already familiar

Americans, African-American slaves, women, racial, religious and sexual minorities, and today’s struggling 99 percent of the population, who, for one reason or another have been unable to ride the wave of prosperity that has lifted the remaining 1 percent to unparalleled heights.

While politicians trolling for votes continue to ignore the obvious irony, artists haven’t been fooled. A long list of playwrights— from Eugene O’Neill to the present crop—have pointed to NOW PLAYING: Detroit runs through Sunday, July 26 at the Aurora Theatre, 2081 Addison Street, Berkeley.

he American Dream is getting yet another bashing in Lisa D’Amour’s Detroit, the final presentation of Berkeley’s Aurora Theatre Company’s 2014-2015 season.

The term has always been more like an advertising slogan for a miracle product whose claims have never been proven than a description of reality. Way before James Truslow Adams first referred to the Dream in his 1931 book The Epic of America, similar language was being used to describe everyone’s opportunity to move up on the socioeconomic ladder if they “worked hard and played by the rules.”

Unfortunately, however, the “everyone” he named has at various times not included—and, in some cases, still omits—Native

Psychedelic, roots-rock band Moonalice played after the Grateful Dead live stream at Sweetwater.

MUSIC

Everything delightful

Fans get everything they need during final Grateful Dead shows By Jamie Soja

T

he “Core Four” remaining members of the Grateful Dead, along with Trey Anastasio, Bruce Hornsby and Jeff Chimenti, performed five riveting “Fare Thee Well” concerts at Santa Clara’s Levi’s Stadium and at Chicago’s Soldier Field over the past two weekends. The highly anticipated shows were slated to be the final concerts of the “Core Four” performing together, ending a 50-year legacy of creating some of the best and most quintessential music.

All five concerts were simulcast to theaters and venues across the country and to various online streaming platforms. In Marin, Bob Weir’s Sweetwater Music Hall in Mill Valley and Phil Lesh’s Terrapin Crossroads in San Rafael were the places to be.

I attended the two Santa Clara shows on June 27 and 28, a live stream at Sweetwater on July 3 and the July 4 and 5 shows in Chicago.

The concerts were an appropriately epic send-off, attracting crowds of 65 to 75,000 people. The band played many of their greatest hits, like the encore of the final show, “Touch of Grey” and many of their lesser-known fan favorites like “Mountains of the Moon.”

The cultural phenomenon of a simulcast concert with people dancing, cheering and singing along needs to be experienced to

be fully appreciated. As the famous photographer from the Grateful Dead heyday, Bob Minkin, told me, “Not everybody can be at these shows, and the fact that they can see the thing that they want to be at happening live, they have a connection to it that you can’t have from a radio broadcast. The fact that you’re in a venue or party where it’s happening, with your friends, gives you that same vibe … it’s the next best thing.”

At Sweetwater, there was a feeling of celebration for the much-loved band, and some people reflected on their first Dead shows. The sold-out live stream was followed by a performance by the Bay Area, all-star band Moonalice, which has ties to the Grateful Dead. Famed Silicon Valley entrepreneur Roger McNamee of Moonalice helped usher that band ahead of the curve, in that they live stream every one of their concerts for free.

“The Grateful Dead and Deadheads were the precursor to social networks,” McNamee says.

“Because of their openness to fan taping, the Dead empowered fans to figure out recording and distribution of live shows, which ultimately led to live streams. The Dead didn’t invent any of this stuff; their magic was in allowing their fans to push the technology envelope.”✹

‘Testament of Youth’ is a story of young love and the futility of war.

FILM

War was hell War, love and class mix in ‘Testament of Youth’ By Richard von Busack

T

he new adaptation of Vera Brittain’s memoir Testament of Youth proves one glib rule of filmmaking and disproves another.

First, it really is best to start a story as late in the plot as you can. Second, a war movie doesn’t necessarily have to endorse war.

Director James Kent is allowed far more realism than the previous BBC miniseries adaptation of Brittain’s WWI memoir of being a nurse to the wounded. We can see that the conditions in a Western Front field hospital haven’t changed much since the Crimean War; for that matter, a crane shot of casualties laid out on stretchers in a muddy field resembles the similar carnage of the Atlanta depot scene in Gone with the Wind.

Alicia Vikander (Ex Machina) plays Vera, a young lady who yearns to go to Oxford, despite the fact that her family believes that education is wasted on women. Vikander plays the role with anachronistic fury—it’s as if she’s surprised by the discrimination against women and hadn’t grown up with it all around her.

Vera sees her loved ones being consumed one by one by the war, and as always, the decorum of her class

makes the story sadder. One never expects upper-class Brits to emit howls of grief, as they do here. The tragedy is keener than the first halfhour of nostalgic feminist umbrage staged against the spring flowers of the Yorkshire countryside, and later in Oxford.

The terrific opening falsely promises a far more sharply impressionistic film to come. It begins with Vera coming out of a fog on the morning of Armistice Day. Her numb horror at the crowd’s screams of joy drives her into an empty church. There, she sees a painting of Noah’s flood, and she imagines herself tumbling in the tide.

The reminder of the price of war also serves as a showcase for young actors. As Edward Brittain, Taron Egerton evokes the loss of an entire generation simply by turning up in an ill-fitting woolen army uniform.

It’s too soon to tell if Kit Harington, as Vera’s lover Roland, will go places beyond Game of Thrones. But there is warmth enough between Vikander and Harington to draw in a romanceseeking audience—and those who never heard these stories of wastage before will be pierced quite deeply.✹

BestBet A close friend of Woody Guthrie and a mentor to a young Bob Dylan, legendary folk figure Ramblin’ Jack Elliott only works with the best. So when he agreed to take on and tour with Marin singer and songwriter Nell Robinson back in 2011, fans took notice. Since then, Robinson has rocketed in the world of folk and she recently gained national attention with her 2014 album, The Rose of No-Man’s Land. Hailed for its strong songwriting talent and fresh musical voice, the album features appearances by Ramblin’ Jack as well as other troubadours like Kris Kristofferson.

In addition to her solo Ramblin’ Jack Elliott and friends play in Mill work, Robinson has teamed Valley on Saturday, July 11. with her longtime songwriting partner and guitarist extraordinaire Jim Nunally to form a new country rock band, Your Good Luck Charm. After a recent sell-out show in Sonoma, the band and Ramblin’ Jack are back in the North Bay, sharing the stage in Mill Valley this weekend. Fronted by Robinson and Nunally, Your Good Luck Charm is rounded out by Pete Grant on pedal steel and Jon Arkin on percussion, along with Ramblin’ Jack joining in the fun to belt out classic covers and spirited originals. —Charlie Swanson Ramblin’ Jack Elliott appears with Nell Robinson on Saturday, July 11, at the Throckmorton Theatre, 142 Throckmorton Ave., Mill Valley; 8pm; $25-$40; For more information, call 415/383-9600 or visit throckmortontheatre.org.

should I watch out for when buying a used car?

Q What At the very least, please have your mechanic check the A engine, transmission and suspen-

sion. Here, at Bertolli’s, we look for evidence of paintwork or parts replacement. Typically bumpers have been touched up in preparation for sale. Look for damp carpets on the floor and in the trunk. Lift up the spare tire cover and look for collision damage on the frame.

Make sure all the electrical units are working and there are no dash warning lights.

What does ‘steering’ mean?

QInsurers have “preferred” shops that they will try to A ‘steer’ you to and are not necessarily for the benefit of the consumer.

Steering is a way for the insurer to maintain control of the repairs, price fix, and keep their costs to a minimum and maximize their profits. Shops on ‘the list’ are “graded” on how fast and cost effective the repairs are done; quality too often takes a back seat.

Safe and proper repairs should be the primary motivation of all shops. Under California Code of Regulations, Title 10, Chapter 5, Section 2695.8(e), you have the right to select the vehicle repair facility of your choice.

Q:

By Amy Alkon

Goddess

Last week, my girlfriend was all annoyed about something (something relatively unimportant). I’m normally not a bad listener, but I was getting stressed out just hearing about this. I blurted out, “Calm down!” and she really flipped, yelling, “DON’T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN!” It took me forever (and lots of “I’m sorrrryyyys”) to get her to mellow out. I mentioned this incident to a friend, and he said, “Man, don’t you know? You never say that to a woman!” Please explain.—Mr. Doghouse

A:

There are times you may want to tell a woman to calm down, like when you lack live electrical wire to chew on or are curious as to how the nurses would react if you walked into the ER with your head under your arm.

Many people believe the myth that the typical man is about as emotionally sensitive as the typical hammer. However, neuroscientist Tor Wager looked at the findings from 65 brain imaging studies and found that—overall—men’s brains weren’t any less responsive to emotional stimuli than women’s. However, Wager’s study and others did find sex differences, like that women seem more likely to experience negative emotions—fear, anxiety and depression. Women also seem to be more emotionally expressive—verbally and in writing—and better at processing emotions, so they’re less likely to end up feeling dragged out back and beaten up by them.

But for men, when women get emotional, and especially when they veer off into rantville, emotion processing can play out something like this: Woman: “Knockknock.” Man: “Who’s there?” Woman (upset): “Feelings!” (Silence. More silence.)

Woman: “Hello? Hello?! I know you’re in there! I can hear the TV!” To a man, an irate woman’s sharing of her emotional drama can be a bit like her sharing her Drano-tini. Relationships researcher John Gottman explains that men can become physiologically overwhelmed from stressful conversation alone, getting “flooded” with stress hormones and feeling physically ill and desperate to withdraw.

This happens through a “misattribution of arousal,” which means that your brain subconsciously (and instantaneously) puts mere talk that has a stressful vibe into the wrong bin—the “fight or flight” bin that alerts you, “Run from that tiger!” In response, adrenaline surges, your heart races, sweat beads up and parts of your brain and body that aren’t vital for bolting the hell out of there shut down. Yes, that’s a “Sorry, we’re closed!” sign on your digestive tract, and—oopsy!—there’s another on your brain’s higher reasoning center (which makes sense, considering that you’re supposed to be dashing away from the tiger, not parsing whether you have ill-will toward its mother-in-law).

The thing is, running away—as your body has primed you to do—would metabolize the stress hormones. But when you just sit there, the stress hormones just sit there, pooling, poisoning you, leading to sickening feelings. The natural impulse is to take shelter from the adrenaline storm—to escape and go off and recover—but this is hard to explain in any articulate and emotionally sensitive way in the moment, as your ability to reason is on sabbatical. So, in lieu of ducking under the nearest couch like the cat, you do it verbally, telling her, “Calm down!”

Of course, the problem here wasn’t that she needed to calm down, but that you did. So when you laid that on her, she probably heard, “I’m not just going to ignore your feelings; I’m going to dismiss them.” (This always goes over so well with women.)

Explaining the sex differences in emotion processing might help you both keep in mind that a man isn’t just a woman with a different set of funparts. For example, for her, venting her feelings may simply be a way of managing them. Chances are, she just needs you to be listening (or at least appear to be while playing Minecraft in your head).

The next time that she’s “all het up” about something, take some deep breaths and remind yourself that you aren’t under attack; you’re just somebody’s boyfriend.

Should you start feeling emotionally swamped, take Gottman’s advice: “Let your [partner] know that you’re feeling flooded and need to take a break. The break should last at least 20 minutes, since it will be that long before your body calms down.”

Going for a run wouldn’t be a bad idea. However, in the spirit of better male/ female communication, you need to tell your girlfriend your plan. No, you can’t just flash her a look of panic and bolt out the door—though being chased down the street by an enraged woman clutching your Renaissance Faire crossbow should do wonders in diminishing that nasty adrenaline buildup.✹ Worship the goddess—or sacrifice her at the altar at pacificsun.com

Sign?

By Leona Moon

For the week of July 8

Aries

(March 21 - April 19) Got one too many Architectural Digests laying around on your bathroom floor, Aries? What may have started out as an, er, extracurricular activity, has blossomed into full-fledged inspiration.

Start redecorating room by room on July 13. Your roommate finally might green-light that tiki bar idea.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

Travel plans, Taurus? Everyone may have been hitting 101 on the Fourth of July, but you kept it low-key. Make up for lost time, trips and hangovers on July 11 with a mini-vacation. A threeday getaway might be just the trick you need to brainstorm your next creative adventure—at least tell your boss that.

Gemini

(May 21 - June 20) Did someone say problem solver, Gemini?

Looks like you’re about to take center stage at work with either a presentation or an award-winning idea. Your boss might try to take some of the credit for your out-of-this-world, game-changing idea (Hawaiian Shirt Fridays or postwork Tuesday Night Bowling)—so watch out. Don’t play along; claim what is yours—the VIPs will be impressed.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22) Is

your job stressing you out, Cancer? It’s best not to take any wild risks come July 11. You may be at your wit’s end and feel like drastic is the only way to deal, but pulling a Wolf of Wall Street won’t work.

Watch out for any impetuous decisionmaking—you’ll regret any contract you sign within the hour.

Libra (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22) Your

boss thinks you’re annoying, Libra.

Looks like someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed, or you’ve been using the same predictable punch line at the coffee machine every other day.

Whatever caused this tiff, the planets are only encouraging it. Think before you speak on July 8—otherwise you might find yourself suspended with no pay.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21)

Trying to skip town, and maybe even the continent, Scorpio? If you have travel plans, your travel plans have plans for you. Be extra cautious regarding any immigration matter on July 14. Triple-check any passport applications—you may have forgotten to check one box that is going to keep you from getting your Christopher Columbus on.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 -

Dec. 21) Come on, Sagittarius—it’s celebration time! Did you put a bid on a house and win? Looks like you’re a new homeowner, and guess what?

Homeowner looks good on you.

Matters regarding property, a living situation or family will herald good news. Plan a party to celebrate on July 9.

Capricorn

Leo (July 23 - Aug. 22) What were

(Dec. 22 - Jan. 19) The new moon has some words for you, Capricorn! It’s here to help you go left or right, up or down, here or there— Facebook official! A relationship with a business partner or love interest will have an all-new meaning for you, thanks to the full moon’s vivacious energy. Make it or break it, as they say, on July 14.

Virgo (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22) Work

(Jan. 20 - Feb. 18) Are you working overtime, Aquarius?

It looks like Mars took up a residence in your work sector and has you on the go until Aug. 8. Invest in a whiteboard and a giant calendar—you’re going to need to put your planning hat on to juggle all of these assignments. Also invest in some sunscreen and margarita mix to celebrate after Mars’ departure!

your co-workers whispering about you, Leo? Well, you won’t have to wonder any longer—on July 8 you are straight-up psychic. You’ve got all of the answers in the palms of your hands, thanks to your third eye. Go with your gut all day and carve out some time for a little extra meditating if you really want to take it to the next level. is for schmucks, Virgo! Call in sick on July 14! It’s time for your friends, family and fun to take the front seat. Typically, a planner like yourself would schedule a vacation 17 months in advance, but we’re going to go out on a limb here and say that taking a sick day won’t kill you. Do everything you’ve always dreamed of—check out Target and a local dive bar on a Tuesday morning.

Aquarius

Pisces

(Feb. 19 - March 20) Feeling extra creative, Pisces? The right side of your brain is beaming with new ideas and can’t contain itself on July 9.

Use your lunch break to brainstorm some pitches for freelance projects.

After all, how do you think Bevis and Butt-head was created?✹
