Jeffery,

    Thank you for taking the time to write. I do appreciate your comments.

put together a list complete enough. Therefore I am going accept on behalf
of all past, present and future Tribes.
    From all of us we wish you and your Tribe the best time and an
experience similar to what we all have gone through.
    Please post some pictures and other information. And be sure to send to
Nina at The Archives everything you can.
    I regret not being there with you all.

Peace and Love,
Michael

Dear John,

Thank you so much for taking the time to write us about your experiences
about HAIR. I am sorry to have missed what you have done with the show.
I do hope that you will stay on the HAIR List as a subscriber to keep in
touch with this extended family of tribes. We all have the same concern for
what is happening nowadays.

Peace and Love,
Michael

>Dear Michael Butler and Galt MacDermot;
 
As director of the ECU/Loessin Playhouse production of HAIR, I'm writing
to tell you gents what a great pleasure it has been to work on this
beautiful show. A Vietnam vet, I got out of the Army in 1968, as the
HAIR phenomenom was coming into full flower. That summer, a college
student at William and Mary, I was in an outdoor drama in Williamsburg,
Virginia and every Saturday night, after the last performance of the
week, we would have a big cast and crew party in our hilltop picnic
shelter in the woods surrounding Lake Matoaka Amphitheatre. The ultimate
happening of the night was always to put on the HAIR recording (original
B'way cast on vinyl) and have our own version of a be-in, well-lubed
with cheap beer, Boone's Farm/Ripple, and/or various mind-altering,
vegetable-based roll-your-owns. It was an occasion of great joy--singing
along with the original cast, dancing wild-and-free in various stages of
consciousness and undress--that stayed with me lifelong. Later, after
grad school, as a fledgling actor in New York in '73-'74, I was a waiter
at Sobossek's down on Cooper Square, and a participant in the thriving
East Village Theatre scene, where I got to meet Ragni, Rado, Tom
O'Horgan, and several of the original cast members--a crazy and
wonderful group of creative folks. So now, thirty-six years later, an
aging boomer, I decided to direct and produce the show at our university
theatre, not for reasons of nostalgia but because the show seems to
speak directly and clearly to current times, resonating loudly with the
Vietnam era. It was a very good decision, if I may say so myself. Our
student performers embraced the material wholeheartedly and our Tribe
(the Nez Perce, in memory of Chief Joseph) developed a coherence and
commitment to the work that has been exemplary. If "jump-up" standing
ovations, cheers, and completely sold-out houses are an accurate
indicator, the production has been a great success with audiences, as
well. Nightly, we are transported both to the past and to the future, to
times when we could believe that love could steer the stars and the
world could be lit by joy, not by the glittering malice* of the present.
 
So, thanks, Michael, Galt and all the other progenitors of HAIR.

Man sometimes I feel like I was weaned on Boones Farm Apple. I remember
mixing Boones Apple (8% alcohol by volume) with this wine called Triple Jack
(20% alcohol by volume) just to crank up the alcohol level a bit! It was an
interesting concoction. Does anyone remember the wine Aquarius? It had a
cool label with rainbows and sunshine and other groovy things.

There is a documentary on the Sundance Channel called "Unfinished
Symphony" regarding the 1971 Anti-War protest that John Kerry
participated in. Also shows him testifying before I guess Congress
(missed part of it) with the anti-war message... It is pretty good,
check it out if you can. He is young longish hair and dressed in his

Message-ID: <BD884170.1A012%michael@michaelbutler.com>

Hi,
Lyle sent this and I thought I might share it with you.
Michael

Michael,
 
I have been meaning to write this for you. Versa, told me that I should
because it is a part of knowledge and lasting friendship.
 
Why I Cry!
 
Many years ago when we were together, with your visits while we were on the
road, then later, no matter what function, dinners or late at night; you
remember, I would cry. Sure, it was loneliness, but it came on with just the
right mix of music, alcohol, smoke, and company. Why I cried? I did not know
why then, I just stared to cry. I felt embarrassed at times because I could
not control it and I thought I had only embarrassed those that were in
company.

 
Years and months later, and more today than ever, I still cry-I thought I
had a problem.
 
There is a story in Hawaiian folklore that speaks of a God called Ka'ne. His
treasure is the water, hence the name, 'the healing water's of Ka?ne. Upon
arriving in Hawai'i after HAIR disbanded, December 24th, 1972 and staying
with you for a short spell in Rising Glen, I went through chaos, my personal
primal screams, and started on a spiritual transformation that had lasted
some seven years. This transformation continues today where I find myself
drawn closer to my writing?s on business subjects, soon to start and develop
my personal story.
 
During this transformation, my family and I had unusual spiritual encounters
on the Big Island of Hawai?i. We saw many things. Spiritual manifestations,
that when shared with the Park Services on the Big Island during a volcanic
eruption, we were told, Pe?le has many faces and we are all in anticipation
because she promises a great show!
 
My crying did not stop even when I found the perfect woman and family of
three boys. The Healing Waters of Ka'ne came mostly at inopportune times.
While singing at concerts with my autoharp, being alone, or with people.
 
During the VietNam era, I served in the airforce from 1962 to 1968. When I
received my honorable discharge papers I hung around Boise, Idaho for a year
or so singing in a nightclub called the Stardust lounge. My Mom, had called
me and asked me what I was doing there in Idaho-"won't you come home?", she
asked. She sent an airline ticket.
 
I started to ride a Harley motor cycle, my younger brother, just back from
serving in the 101st Airborne, rode a Triumph right beside me. He had his
friends that were also Vietnam vets. Mostly we were silent, listening to our
engines and the roar of the mufflers was just good enough then. My riding
gear consisted of my class 'A' dress uniform, a swastika over my heart, and
a real German chromed helmet. We all suffered from a silent rage.
 
During my time in the airforce, I was a heating system specialist-taking
care of oil fired boilers on the flight line and family housing during
winter months. On the flight line lived the pilots' ready to go up in the
B-52's at minutes notice, arriving in Guam hours later, then on to VietNam.
 
A sergeant approached me and wanted me to help him form an honor guard for
the base. He had heard that I was good at calling out commands and cadence.
I joined his group and lent my expertise, later realizing that we together,
had formed an extraordinary drill team. Our main function besides marching
in parades in places like Parma, Twin Falls, Kellogg, Boise, Mountain Home,
was to bury the war?s returning dead.
 
The correct method of folding the American Flag was practiced repeatedly. We
would take turns presenting the flag to widows, children, and kin. It
appeared that after several burials throughout the course of several months
that ran into a year, before my term of enlistment was up, many fellow honor
guard airmen started to hand-off the task to present the flag to me. I did
it squarely, with honor, and dignity. I listened to the bugler playing his
faraway notes after the shock of twenty-one guns blasted the silence,
shattering the families last hope of dignity, where intimacy was sacred, now
all was reviled, and the weeping, and knashing of teeth-the wails of
torment, no one should see over and over again.
 
During the coming days and months the frequency of burials and parades
escalated. I was now twenty-one years old; came in when I was seventeen. I
have not visited this place in my mind until 1969 when I was chosen to play
'Claude' in the Hawaiian production of HAIR. Later, we found that a theater
was not available on the island of O'ahu because of community
protests-mostly by the Japanese community. A home eventually was secured for
us in Las Vegas.
 
Several scenes in HAIR, were sacred -spiritual in nature that had the power
then just as it does today, to manage to find its way deep inside and
conjure up those burial images and places traveled before; these were well
kept secrets. Now waiting and demanding to reveal themselves; their rightful
place lying down beside me as 'Claude' lay dead on stage. No, it wasn't
simple. Images came during the Vietcong songs, walking across the stage
coming for my friends, and just the right amount of movement, I made the
images disappear. They managed to come back heavy, during Mercury and Venus
tours. Then finally, when I had learned how to cry by just letting it
happen-it stopped!
 
To this day- I still cry, the images are gone; I cry over silly things, like
injustices, rain forests destroyed, indigenous peoples slaughtered and
babies neglected. I run with rage at incompetence, and conscious neglect,
cheating, arrogance and puffed up egos, and yet I am only human, still
trying to connect with my Gods to turn righteous anger into works of
miracles.
 
The sad part about all of this is that I have never served in a battle zone.
The compassionate nature of the spirit through feelings and imagery is
enough for comprehension. I owe a debt to our fallen heroes, spirits who
commune, and thousands upon thousands of  'children of the rainbow' who have
suffered and continue to suffer in agony without the light of day, never
experiencing lasting joy.

Michael,

I have been meaning to write this for you. Versa, told me that I should
because it is a part of knowledge and lasting friendship.

Why I Cry!

Many years ago when we were together, with your visits while we were on the
road, then later, no matter what function, dinners or late at night; you
remember, I would cry. Sure, it was loneliness, but it came on with just the
right mix of music, alcohol, smoke, and company. Why I cried? I did not know
why then, I just stared to cry. I felt embarrassed at times because I could
not control it and I thought I had only embarrassed those that were in
company.


Years and months later, and more today than ever, I still cry-I thought I
had a problem.

There is a story in Hawaiian folklore that speaks of a God called Ka'ne. His
treasure is the water, hence the name, 'the healing water's of Kašne. Upon
arriving in Hawai'i after HAIR disbanded, December 24th, 1972 and staying
with you for a short spell in Rising Glen, I went through chaos, my personal
primal screams, and started on a spiritual transformation that had lasted
some seven years. This transformation continues today where I find myself
drawn closer to my writingšs on business subjects, soon to start and develop
my personal story.

During this transformation, my family and I had unusual spiritual encounters
on the Big Island of Hawaiši. We saw many things. Spiritual manifestations,
that when shared with the Park Services on the Big Island during a volcanic
eruption, we were told, Pešle has many faces and we are all in anticipation
because she promises a great show!

My crying did not stop even when I found the perfect woman and family of
three boys. The Healing Waters of Ka'ne came mostly at inopportune times.

Apocalypse Then
A new film shows how John Kerry and other young men dealt with the horrors
of Vietnam.

 By  Noy Thrupkaew
 Web Exclusive: 10.01.04

 Print Friendly |  Email Article

 Who are they, the Vietnam War veterans who have become such powerful,
contested symbols on this election?s battlefield? Perhaps they are the vets
in the documentary Stolen Honor -- aging former POWs in medal-bedecked
suits, the unbowed and angry men who say that John Kerry?s anti-war activism
lengthened their time in torture cells in Vietnam and tarnished their honor
as American soldiers at home. Or maybe the ones in George Butler?s Going
Upriver, the latest Vietnam documentary qua Kerry campaign biography --
young men in crumpled fatigues, screaming, weeping, and crumpling to the
ground after they hurl their medals in protest over a war they believed was,
as Kerry testified to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 1971, ?the
biggest nothing in history.?

 ?War is not over when the shooting stops,? says former Senator and Vietnam
vet Max Cleland, in Going Upriver. ?They live on in the people who fight
them.? As do the stories of that war, the interpretations and narratives
built to give meaning to such suffering. What happens, then, when those
narratives clash with such annihilating force? Was it a worthy war or a
dirty one? Is true patriotism fighting in a war or fighting against it? Are
our depictions and understandings of war -- that fundamentally oppositional
horror -- doomed to the same sense of irreconcilability?

 In an election year, yes, as the Bush administration has made clear in its
attacks on Kerry?s war record and his anti-war activism. A sophisticated
rebuttal allegations put up by the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, Going
Upriver is a taut documentary that depicts what Cleland calls the ?beauty
and terror? of Vietnam and its galvanizing effect on Kerry, both in country
and at home.

 Going Upriver doesn?t sway from this year?s mandate of single-sided
reporting; we don?t hear much from advocates for the war. Nor does it
present Kerry with anything less than a saintly glow around him. But for the
well-made bit of hagiography that it is, the film does a devastating job of
capturing the extent to which many of the veterans were ill-equipped to cope
with the horrors around them, and the ways in which they struggled to make
sense of their experiences afterward. In the present-day interviews in the
film, the vets speak haltingly of the agony they went through in deciding to
toss their medals and ribbons in protest; it?s wrenching to hear them say,
?We were saying these sacrifices were for nothing ? wouldn?t it be great to
say we were heroes?? More than anything else, Going Upriver is the story of
transformation, a road map to the way some men sought to create meaning by
resisting that which destroys it: war.

 The film reanimates familiar territory through archival footage and
interviews with former Kerry crewmates and activists in the Vietnam Veterans
Against the War movement, journalists, and politicians. In Vietnam, it
sketches out some of Kerry?s heroism -- his rescue of a comrade who fell
into the river during a firefight, how he shot a Viet Cong intent on
blasting Kerry?s boat with a rocket launcher. But the film also devotes a
good deal of time to less celebrated moments. Veterans recount the deadpan
declarations used to justify their actions, like, ?If Vietnamese are
running, they?re VC. If they?re standing, they?re well-disciplined VC. If
they?re dead in a free-fire zone, they?re VC.? One soldier holds up a
picture of himself, grinning and posing by a dead body, that may remind
viewers of one taken at Abu Ghraib.

 As others will no doubt suggest, Kerry himself would be this film?s ideal
viewer; perhaps he would remember just how he spoke out against the Vietnam
War with such a harsh, clear poetry. His team is evidently moving to attack
George W. Bush?s policies on Iraq, a tactic that will surely earn him the
ire of people like the veterans of Stolen Honor, for whom criticism of
government policies in wartime, or of the criminal behaviors of some
soldiers, are interpreted as a ?treasonous? attack on all. But even as Kerry
criticizes Bush?s actions in Iraq, hopefully he?ll be able to imbue his
words with some of the moral, nonpartisan ring of the statement he made as
he cast away his ribbons. ?I?m not doing this to oppose anyone,? he said
then, as recounted in Going Upriver: ?I?m doing this to try and wake my
country up.?

Subject: Heart Attack






    From F. Daniel Rochman MD

    If everyone who gets this sends it to 10 people, you can bet that we'll save at least one life.

    Let's say it's 6:15 p.m. and you're driving home (alone of course), after an unusually hard day on the job. You're really tired, upset and frustrated. Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to radiate out into your arm and up into your jaw.  You are only about five miles from the hospital nearest your home; unfortunately you don't know if you'll be able to make it that far.

    WHAT CAN YOU DO?

    You've been trained in CPR but the guy that taught the course neglected to tell you how to perform it on yourself. Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, this article seemed to be in order. Without help, the person whose heart stops beating properly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.  However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously every 2 seconds .

    A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest, and a cough must be repeated about every 2 seconds without let up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again.

    Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm.

    In this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital.

Thanks Doris..... Although in a do or die situation I might try it (I
HAD clogged arteries now have 9 stents so have experienced chest pain
numerous times) better than just waiting to die. A few times when I had
chest pain I made myself calm down and took deep breaths and after a
couple of minutes the chest pain DID go away (also I had nitro on hand,
but did not have to use it).... But because it worked for me does not
mean it would work on everyone... :-) Thanks again.

peace

Whoa, Barbara, 9 stents!  That's pretty intense.  I'm glad that you are no longer having chest pains and that we now have some of the amazing technology we do to help with heart disease.  (It runs in my family, too, so I hear you).  Deep breathing is always a good thing.  We should all remember to do it.

  Thanks Doris..... Although in a do or die situation I might try it (I
  HAD clogged arteries now have 9 stents so have experienced chest pain
  numerous times) better than just waiting to die. A few times when I had
  chest pain I made myself calm down and took deep breaths and after a
  couple of minutes the chest pain DID go away (also I had nitro on hand,
  but did not have to use it).... But because it worked for me does not
  mean it would work on everyone... :-) Thanks again.

The Verdict Is In

October 7, 2004
 


 

Sanctions worked. Weapons inspectors worked. That is the
bottom line of the long-awaited report on weapons of mass
destruction in Iraq, written by President Bush's handpicked
investigator. 

In the 18 months since President Bush ordered the invasion
of Iraq, justifying the decision by saying that Saddam
Hussein was "a gathering threat" to the United States,
Americans have come to realize that Iraq had no chemical,
nuclear or biological weapons. But the report issued
yesterday goes further. It says that Iraq had no factories
to produce illicit weapons and that its ability to resume
production was growing more feeble every year. While Mr.
Hussein retained dreams of someday getting back into the
chemical warfare business, his chosen target was Iran, not
the United States. 

The report shows that the international sanctions that Mr.
Bush dismissed and demeaned before the war - and still does
- were astonishingly effective. Mr. Hussein hoped to get
out from under the sanctions, and the report's author,
Charles Duelfer, loyally told Congress yesterday that he
thought that could have happened. But his report said the
Iraqis lacked even a formal strategy or a plan to
reconstitute their weapons programs if it did. 

For months, administration officials have tried to deflect
charges that they invaded Iraq under false pretenses and
have urged critics to wait for Mr. Duelfer's verdict on the
weapons search. The authoritative findings of his Iraq
Survey Group have now left the administration's rationale
for war more tattered than ever. It turns out that Iraq
destroyed all stockpiles of illicit weapons more than a
decade ago and had no large-scale production facilities
left after 1996, seven years before the invasion. This was
a matter of choice by Saddam Hussein, who desperately
wanted an end to sanctions and feared that any weapons
programs, if discovered by inspectors, would only keep them
in place. 

Even after U.N. inspectors left Iraq in 1998, a period when
Western intelligence experts assumed the worst might be
happening, the Hussein regime made no active efforts to
produce new weapons of mass destruction. The much-feared
nuclear threat - that looming mushroom cloud conjured by
the administration to stampede Congress into authorizing an
invasion - was a phantom. Mr. Duelfer found that even if
Iraq had tried to restart its defunct nuclear program in
2003, it would have needed years to produce a nuclear
weapon. 

Since any objective observer should by now have digested
the idea that Iraq posed no imminent threat to anyone, let
alone the United States, it was disturbing to hear
President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney continue to
try to justify the invasion this week on the grounds that
after Sept. 11, 2001, Iraq was clearly the most likely
place for terrorists to get illicit weapons. Even if Mr.
Hussein had wanted to arm groups he could not control - a
very dubious notion- he had nothing to give them. 

Administration officials will no doubt point to sections of
the report citing evidence that front companies were
supplying Iraq with banned materials, and that Iraq had
money and expertise that could be used to make weapons.
They will also point to Mr. Duelfer's speculation that
support for the sanctions was eroding. But nothing in the
voluminous record provides Mr. Bush with the justification
he wanted for a preventive war because the weapons programs
did not exist. And as the war continues to bog down, the
power of nonviolent international sanctions looks more
muscular every day.

 Stern's Move to Satellite Radio Is a Signal Event
 
 By Frank Ahrens
 
  Though Howard Stern's defection from broadcast to satellite radio is still 16 months off, the industry is already trying to figure out what will fill the crater in ad revenue and listenership that he is expected to leave behind.
 
 Stern -- who has about 12 million listeners a day -- has been one of the radio's top earners for several years. He is responsible for about $100 million in annual ad revenue for his syndicator, Infinity Broadcasting, owned by media giant Viacom Inc. 
 
 In January 2006, he plans to take that revenue machine, and probably many listeners, to Sirius Satellite Radio, where his often raunchy show won't be constrained by the decency standards of the Federal Communications Commission. 
 
 Some radio executives counseled calm yesterday, saying that although Stern is talented, Viacom has the resources to replace him.
 
 "What did it mean to late-night TV when Johnny Carson left?" said David J. Field, chief executive of Entercom Communications Corp., which owns 100 radio stations. "The reality is, that was not the demise of late-night TV."
 
 But others said the AM and FM industry will be hit hard, not only because of the loss of one of its most popular broadcasters, but also because AM and FM are at a perilous point.
 
 The nation's two satellite radio companies, XM and Sirius, have about 3.1 million paid subscribers between them. They charge $9.95 and $12.95 a month for access to more than 100 largely commercial-free stations on special receivers that cost around $150.
 
  The Stern deal, according to one of its architects, could transform the industry.
 
 "This deal has the potential to turn FM into AM and AM into shortwave," said Walter Sabo, president of Sabo Media and a consultant to Sirius. Sabo was a member of the Sirius team that lured Stern.
 
 Sabo compares AM and FM vs. satellite today to AM vs. FM 30 years ago. 
 
 Until the late 1960s, AM was king and FM was a backwater. Station owners who had both AM and FM signals put their high-profile deejays and music on the AM stations and used the FM signals for brokered programming -- selling time to advertisers -- or simply handed them over to youthful underground deejays to play music. FM was not considered a viable revenue-maker and station owners largely ignored them.
 
 But rock music started sounding better. On AM, Jimi Hendrix was tinny. On static-free FM, he was a revelation. Young listeners began streaming to FM stations and owners realized they could be profitable.
 
 Owners of AM stations, satisfied with their profits, were afraid to take the risks necessary to compete with the growing FM industry. Eventually, almost all music left AM for FM. AM stations struggled until the '80s, when Rush Limbaugh's show caught on and AM stations thrived with talk formats. 
 
 Now, Sabo said, many of the top FM stations are constrained by the same mentality, because of the quarterly profit demands of the publicly traded companies that own them. He said that when he pitched a new radio format aimed at young women, a demographic that forms the backbone of successful daytime television shows, "I couldn't get one [radio executive] to put it on."
 
 At the annual radio show held by the National Association of Broadcasters in San Diego, radio consultant Holland Cooke said Stern's move is Topic A.
 
 "We want to think [satellite radio] will never catch on and Stern's going to fall off the map," Cooke said. "There's a tremendous comfort in the radio establishment in dissing this, but there is a dazed look in the eyes of the enlightened with whom I've spoken here."
 
 Cooke said Stern's move to satellite radio is only a symptom of a larger problem: "Radio is losing content to new media," he said.
 
 A Clear Channel Communications Corp. radio station program director, who declined to be quoted by name because Clear Channel is in a legal dispute with Stern over the company's decision to take his show off of six Clear Channel stations in February, said: "I have never witnessed anything as cataclysmic as this. This is a wake-up call to everyone in [AM and FM] radio."
 
 Most troubling about Stern's exit from traditional radio is his desire to escape FCC scrutiny, the Clear Channel program director said. If a talented young personality wants to do a radio show but doesn't want to deal with the FCC, he or she could take the show to satellite radio rather than to AM or FM, much in the way that many television producers and directors have chosen HBO and Showtime instead of broadcast networks, which face FCC scrutiny, the program director said.
 
 Jeffrey H. Smulyan, chief executive of Emmis Communications, which owns 27 U.S. radio stations, said Stern's departure to satellite radio "is probably the best resolution to the situation," given the likelihood that Infinity would continue to rack up FCC fines while he stays in its employ. 
 
 However, even if both Sirius and XM satellite radio hit "their wildest dreams" of total subscribers -- 40 million -- "295 million people will still be listening exclusively" to AM and FM radio, Smulyan said.

The Town Hall Debate

October 9, 2004
 


 

Town hall meetings are one vestige of early American
democracy that modern presidential candidates know very
well. No one who has survived a New Hampshire primary
season needs to be told what it's like to answer questions
tossed out by a group of average citizens. It's the
democratic process in its most amiable state: earnest
Americans asking serious questions about the issues. Last
night's format was much more suited to George Bush's
talents than the hard-edged debate last week, but John
Kerry still managed to goad him to irritable near-shouting
at some points. 

One of the uncommitted voters in the audience sensibly
asked President Bush to name three mistakes he'd made in
office, and what he had done to remedy the damage. Mr. Bush
declined to list even one, and instead launched into an
impassioned defense of the invasion of Iraq as a good idea.
The president's insistence on defending his decision to go
into Iraq seemed increasingly bizarre in a week when his
own investigators reported that there were no weapons of
mass destruction there, and when his own secretary of
defense acknowledged that there was no serious evidence of
a connection between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda. 

Even worse, the president's refusal to come up with even a
minor error - apart from saying that he might have made
some unspecified appointments that he now regretted -
underscores his inability to respond to failure in any way
except by insisting over and over again that his original
decision was right. 

Unfortunately, for long stretches of the evening, the
format did not lead to such telling responses. On occasion,
the arguments were impossible to follow. Heaven help any
citizen who relied on last night's debate to understand
what is going on with North Korea or who tried to
understand the fight about tax cuts on Subchapter S
corporations. 

Mr. Bush was deeply unpersuasive when asked why he had not
permitted the importation of cheaper prescription drugs
from Canada. He claimed that the reason was "I want to make
sure it cures you and doesn't kill you." Mr. Kerry cleanly
retorted that four years ago in a campaign debate, Mr. Bush
had said importing medicine from Canada sounded sensible. 

And the president was utterly incoherent when asked about
whom he might name to the Supreme Court in a second term.
His comment about how he didn't want to offend any judges
because he wanted "them all voting for me" was a joke - but
an unfortunate one, given the fact that the president owes
his job to a Supreme Court vote. 

Mr. Kerry was weaker when he had to respond to a woman who
wanted to know about spending federal money on abortions.
Social issues seem to bring out the senator's worst
tendencies to paint a word picture in shades of gray and
equivocation. 

Both men seemed overly defensive at times, as if they were
fighting shadow opponents that were not even in the hall.
Mr. Kerry seemed intent, without much prompting by Mr.
Bush, on countering the attack ads run by the president's
campaign and by other Republican organizations. Mr. Bush
sometimes seemed as if he was trying to make up for his
weak performance in Debate No. 1. 

Mr. Kerry demonstrated, at the very minimum, a stature that
was equal to the president's. If Mr. Bush was hoping to
recover all the ground he lost last week, he failed in his
mission. 

The president seemed to fall back frequently on
name-calling, denouncing his opponent as a liberal and a
tool of the trial lawyers. "The president's just trying to
scare," Mr. Kerry said. It will be another few weeks before
we see how well that works.

An Inexplicable Vote for Death

October 9, 2004
 


 

Paul Gregory House was convicted of murdering a neighbor in
1985, before the era of DNA typing. The Tennessee jury that
found him guilty was told that the semen found on the body
of the neighbor, Carolyn Muncey, matched his blood type.
The jury, citing the fact that Mrs. Muncey had been raped,
said Mr. House should be sentenced to death. 

It's hard to believe that the jurors would have come to
that conclusion if they had known that the semen's DNA
matched that of Mrs. Muncey's husband, Hubert, not the
defendant. A 15-judge United States Court of Appeals panel
in Cincinnati that heard a request to reopen the case knew
that. Yet the judges recently voted, 8 to 7, that Mr. House
should neither be freed nor given a new trial. They were
not swayed by six witnesses implicating Mr. Muncey. Two
said Mr. Muncey had told them he had killed his wife while
he was drunk. 

That eight judges would condemn a man to be executed under
these circumstances is shocking. What's worse is that the
judges divided along partisan lines. The eight judges
appointed by a Republican president voted to keep Mr. House
on the road to the death penalty. Six judges appointed by a
Democrat wanted to free him, and the seventh called for a
new trial. It's hard to dismiss the thought that the
Republicans voted as a show of support for capital
punishment, not on the merits of the case. 

For Mr. House, the next stop is the Supreme Court. For the
rest of us, his case should serve as a reminder that when
we elect a president, we are also deciding the makeup of
our courts.

Salmon and Science

October 9, 2004
 


 

More than a dozen species of salmon in the Columbia and
Snake River basins are at risk of extinction. One would
think that these fish - culturally significant to Indian
tribes and commercially valuable to a large regional
fishing industry - could get a break. But they can't. A
recovery plan devised by the Clinton administration was
tossed out in 2003 by a federal judge who found its
recommendations too speculative and ordered the Bush
administration to draw up a better one. The Bush plan may
be worse. 

True, the administration proposes technological fixes to
help fish over and around the Columbia and Snake River
dams. Yet its habitat protections are no stronger and,
worse, it removes from future consideration the idea of
breaching the four dams on the lower Snake River - an
option the Clinton plan held in reserve in case all other
measures failed. Finally, in a bizarre misreading of the
Endangered Species Act, it abandons salmon recovery as the
goal of federal policy and asserts, in so many words, that
its only legal obligation is to keep the current rate of
decline from getting any worse. 

Salmon seem especially disadvantaged by this
administration's tendency to bend science and the law to
its political agenda. Despite a huge fish kill in the lower
Klamath River in Oregon in 2002, attributed by many
scientists to federal irrigation policies that robbed fish
of the water flows they needed, the Interior Department has
yet to produce a plausible long-term plan to redistribute
scarce water in a manner that satisfies all claimants. 

And earlier this year, the administration proposed to count
hatchery-raised salmon in its assessments of wild salmon
populations. This mathematical commingling ignores crucial
differences between wild and manufactured fish. But it
would instantly make wild salmon populations look healthier
than they are and give federal agencies a green light to
lift protections against commercial activities in the
watersheds where wild salmon spawn. 

The decline of the once-abundant wild salmon runs of the
Pacific Northwest ranks high on any list of environmental
blunders. Despite recent healthy salmon runs, the result of
unusually favorable weather and ocean conditions, the trend
line for many wild salmon species is still downward. It
will not be easy to turn this around. It will be harder
still if the federal government ignores its obligations.

>A decision to forgive
>By TERRY MATTINGLY
>October 6, 2004

Twenty years ago, the Irish Republican Army bombed the Grand Hotel in
Brighton, England, in an attempt to kill Prime Minister Margaret
Thatcher and her Cabinet during a Tory party conference.

 Jo Berry, Harvey Thomas and Patrick Magee will mark the Oct. 12
anniversary with a reflective evening at the historic St. James' Church
near Piccadilly Circus in London. Their goal is to talk about the
lessons they have learned from one of the most shocking terrorist acts
in the bloody history of the Irish and the English.

Berry is the daughter of Sir Anthony Berry, one of five people who died.

Thomas was Thatcher's press secretary and barely survived.

Magee was the IRA terrorist who planted the 100-pound bomb behind a
panel in the bathroom of Room 629.

"The fact that the three of us will stand side by side as friends is a
story in and of itself. It shows that true reconciliation is possible,"
said Thomas. "Reconciliation isn't easy. But how do we move forward if
we cannot forgive our enemies?"

The 65-year-old Thomas is a broadcaster who is as well-known for a
15-year stint with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association as for his
years as Thatcher's media specialist. Thus, he works in two different
worlds. Thomas is as comfortable dissecting Bible passages with other
Christians as he is fine-tuning public-relation campaigns for politicos
and executives in Saudi Arabia and other tense locales. His passport has
been stamped in 120 nations.

Reconciliation in the post-Sept. 11 world, he said, must involve secular
people as well as religious believers. It means convincing hostile
armies of true believers to treat each other with respect, if not
tolerance. What is the alternative?

"What happens if nothing is done is almost certainly global warfare,"
said Thomas. "We have to ask ourselves: What are we willing to do to try
to head that off?"

Berry has asked the same question.

Two days after the bombing, she fled to the St. James sanctuary and sent
up a non-believer's prayer to find some way to seek peace and deal with
her own grief. This pain led her to seek a meeting with Magee when he
was released from prison after 14 years, as part of the Good Friday
peace agreements in Northern Ireland. They met privately and then agreed
to have further talks about forgiveness, this time filmed by BBC
cameras.

The public forum with Thomas is the next stage in this bridge-building
process. Berry hopes it draws everyone from political activists to
therapists, secular diplomats to believers from many different
sanctuaries.

"I dream of a world in which we have choices to resolve conflict other
than violence," she said via e-mail. "Talking with Patrick Magee is a
way of learning from the past, which may give insight for creating a
different future. I am learning about the effects of blame and looking
at how we make choices not to blame."

Thomas was made a similar pilgrimage.

For millions of people in Great Britain and around the world, one of the
most unforgettable moments after the bombing was watching - live on
television - as rescue workers pulled the 6-foot-4, 280-pound Thomas out
of tons of concrete rubble. His own memories of those moments center on
hours of frantic prayers for his family.

Now Thomas has new memories. His dialogue with Magee began with letters
while the bomber was in prison. A few years later, Magee ended up
sitting in the Thomas family kitchen, sharing baked beans, stories and
regrets.

They talked about decades of oppression, the bitter choices of civil war
and the dehumanizing effects of violence.

One of Thomas' daughters asked Magee: "You do realize that if you had
succeeded in killing Daddy, I wouldn't be here?"

Magee wept and so did Thomas and his family.

Reconciliation is a process, said Thomas, but it begins with a decision
to forgive. This is a personal choice and it's impossible for one person
to tell another when or how to take this step. Seeking personal
reconciliation is not the same as seeking justice.

"I have no doubt that I needed to forgive Patrick Magee," he said. "It's
what God wanted me to do. So I did it."

Sherwin -

This is horrible to read, but this helps to form my opinion of the mess in
Iraq. It is a transcription of a speech Hersch gave in Berkeley last week.

FYI -- Seymour Hersh is the pulitzer prize winning journalist who uncovered
the Mai Lai Massacre way back in the viet nam war.

He also broke the Abu Ghraib prison story.

Hope you don't mind me passing this along. Bush has got to go!





Seymour Hersh spoke at Berkeley last Friday, October 8th. He told a story
about recently receiving a call from an American lieutenant in Iraq who'd
just witnessed other American soldiers massacring Iraqis. 

I typed up what he said from the Real Video file here . The story begins at
about 41:45. 

UPDATE: I'm told Hersh has said much the same at other events, including
this October 1 appearance on the Diane Rehm Show . I haven't listened to it
myself, however. 
HERSH: I got a call last week from a soldier -- it's different now, a lot of
communication, 800 numbers. He's an American officer and he was in a unit
halfway between Baghdad and the Syrian border. It's a place where we claim
we've done great work at cleaning out the insurgency. He was a platoon
commander. First lieutenant, ROTC guy. 

It was a call about this. He had been bivouacing outside of town with his
platoon. It was near, it was an agricultural area, and there was a granary
around. And the guys that owned the granary, the Iraqis that owned the
granary... It was an area that the insurgency had some control, but it was
very quiet, it was not Fallujah. It was a town that was off the mainstream.
Not much violence there. And his guys, the guys that owned the granary, had
hired, my guess is from his language, I wasn't explicit -- we're talking not
more than three dozen, thirty or so guards. Any kind of work people were
dying to do. So Iraqis were guarding the granary. His troops were bivouaced,
they were stationed there, they got to know everybody... 

They were a couple weeks together, they knew each other. So orders came down
from the generals in Baghdad, we want to clear the village, like in Samarra.
And as he told the story, another platoon from his company came and executed
all the guards, as his people were screaming, stop. And he said they just
shot them one by one. He went nuts, and his soldiers went nuts. And he's
hysterical. He's totally hysterical. And he went to the captain. He was a
lieutenant, he went to the company captain. And the company captain said,
"No, you don't understand. That's a kill. We got thirty-six insurgents." 

You read those stories where the Americans, we take a city, we had a combat,
a hundred and fifteen insurgents are killed. You read those stories. It's
shades of Vietnam again, folks, body counts... 

You know what I told him? I said, fella, I said: you've complained to the
captain. He knows you think they committed murder. Your troops know their
fellow soldiers committed murder. Shut up. Just shut up. Get through your
tour and just shut up. You're going to get a bullet in the back. You don't
need that. And that's where we are with this war.

Will We Need a New &#39;All the President&#39;s Men&#39;?

October 17, 2004
 


 

SUCH is the power of movies that the first image
"Watergate" brings to mind three decades later is not
Richard Nixon so much as the golden duo of Redford and
Hoffman riding to the nation's rescue in "All the
President's Men." But if our current presidency is now
showing symptoms of a precancerous Watergate syndrome - as
it is, daily - we have not yet reached that denouement
immortalized by Hollywood, in which our scrappy heroes
finally bring Nixon to heel in his second term. No, we're
back instead in the earlier reels of his first term, before
the criminality of the Watergate break-in, when no one had
heard of Woodward and Bernstein. Back then an arrogant and
secretive White House, furious at the bad press fueled by
an unpopular and mismanaged war, was still flying high as
it kneecapped with impunity any reporter or news
organization that challenged its tightly enforced message
of victory at hand. 

It was then that the vice president, Spiro Agnew, scripted
by the speechwriter Pat Buchanan, tried to discredit the
press as an elite - or, as he spelled it out, "a tiny,
enclosed fraternity of privileged men." It was then that
the attorney general, John Mitchell, under the pretext of
national security, countenanced wiretaps of Hedrick Smith
of The Times and Marvin Kalb of CBS News, as well as a full
F.B.I. investigation of CBS's Daniel Schorr. Today it's
John Ashcroft's Justice Department, also invoking "national
security," that hopes to seize the phone records of Judith
Miller and Philip Shenon of The Times, claiming that what
amounts to a virtual wiretap is warranted by articles about
Islamic charities and terrorism published nearly three
years ago. 

"The fundamental right of Americans, through our free
press, to penetrate and criticize the workings of our
government is under attack as never before," wrote William
Safire last month. When an alumnus of the Nixon White House
says our free press is being attacked as "never before,"
you listen. What alarms him now are the efforts of Patrick
Fitzgerald, the special prosecutor in the Valerie
Plame-Robert Novak affair, to threaten reporters at The
Times and Time magazine with jail if they don't reveal
their sources. Given that the Times reporter in question
(Judith Miller again) didn't even write an article on the
subject under investigation, Mr. Fitzgerald overreaches so
far that he's created a sci-fi plot twist out of Steven
Spielberg's "Minority Report." 

It's all the scarier for being only one piece in a pattern
of media intimidation that's been building for months now.
Once Woodward and Bernstein did start investigating
Watergate, Nixon plotted to take economic revenge by
siccing the Federal Communications Commission on TV
stations owned by The Washington Post's parent company. The
current White House has been practicing pre-emptive media
intimidation to match its policy of pre-emptive war. Its
F.C.C. chairman, using Janet Jackson's breast and Howard
Stern's mouth as pretexts, has sufficiently rattled Viacom,
which broadcast both of these entertainers' infractions
against "decency," that its chairman, the self-described
"liberal Democrat" Sumner Redstone, abruptly announced his
support for the re-election of George W. Bush last month.
"I vote for what's good for Viacom," he explained, and he
meant it. He took this loyalty oath just days after the "60
Minutes" fiasco prompted a full-fledged political witch
hunt on Viacom's CBS News, another Republican target since
the Nixon years. Representative Joe Barton, Republican of
Texas, has threatened to seek Congressional "safeguards"
regulating TV news content and, depending what happens Nov.
2, he may well have the political means to do it. 

Viacom is hardly the only media giant cowed by the prospect
that this White House might threaten its corporate
interests if it gets out of line. Disney's refusal to
release Michael Moore's partisan "Fahrenheit 9/11" in an
election year would smell less if the company applied the
same principle to its ABC radio stations, where the equally
partisan polemics of Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity are
heard every day. Even a low-profile film project in
conflict with Bush dogma has spooked the world's largest
media company, Time Warner, proprietor of CNN. Its Warner
Brothers, about to release a special DVD of "Three Kings,"
David O. Russell's 1999 movie criticizing the first gulf
war, suddenly canceled a planned extra feature, a new
Russell documentary criticizing the current war. Whether
any of these increasingly craven media combines will stand
up to the Bush administration in a constitutional pinch, as
Katharine Graham and her Post Company bravely did to the
Nixon administration during Watergate, is a proposition
that hasn't been remotely tested yet. 

To understand what kind of journalism the Bush
administration expects from these companies, you need only
look at those that are already its collaborators. Fox News
speaks loudly for itself, to the point of posting on its
Web site an article by its chief political correspondent
containing fictional John Kerry quotes. (After an outcry,
it was retracted as "written in jest.") But Fox is just the
tip of the Rupert Murdoch empire. When The New York Post
covered the release of the report by the C.I.A.'s chief
weapons inspector, Charles Duelfer, it played the story on
page 8 and didn't get to the clause "while no stockpiles of
W.M.D. were found in Iraq" until the 16th paragraph. This
would be an Onion parody were it not deadly serious. 

It's hard to imagine an operation more insidious than Mr.
Murdoch's, but the Sinclair Broadcast Group may be it. The
owner or operator of 62 TV stations nationwide, including
affiliates of all four major broadcast networks, this
company gets little press scrutiny because it is invisible
in New York City, Washington and Los Angeles, where it has
no stations. But Sinclair, whose top executives have maxed
out as Bush contributors, was first smoked out of the
shadows last spring when John McCain called it
"unpatriotic" for ordering its eight ABC stations not to
broadcast the "Nightline" in which Ted Koppel read the
names of the then 721 American casualties in Iraq. This was
the day after Paul Wolfowitz had also downsized American
casualties by testifying before Congress that they numbered
only about 500. 

Thanks to Elizabeth Jensen of The Los Angeles Times, who
first broke the story last weekend, we now know that
Sinclair has grander ambitions for the election. It has
ordered all its stations, whose most powerful reach is in
swing states like Ohio, Florida and Pennsylvania, to
broadcast a "news" special featuring a film, "Stolen
Honor," that trashes Mr. Kerry along the lines of the Swift
Boat Veterans for Truth ads. The film's creator is a man
who spent nearly eight years in the employ of Tom Ridge.
Sinclair has ordered that it be run in prime time during a
specific four nights in late October, when it is likely to
be sandwiched in with network hits like "CSI," "The
Apprentice" and "Desperate Housewives." Democrats are
screaming, but don't expect the Bush apparatchiks at
federal agencies to pursue their complaints as if they were
as serious as a "wardrobe malfunction." A more likely
outcome is that Sinclair, which already reaches 24 percent
of American viewers, will reap the regulatory favors it is
seeking to expand that audience in a second Bush term. 

Like the Nixon administration before it, the Bush
administration arrived at the White House already obsessed
with news management and secrecy. Nixon gave fewer press
conferences than any president since Hoover; Mr. Bush has
given fewer than any in history. Early in the Nixon years,
a special National Press Club study concluded that the
president had instituted "an unprecedented, government-wide
effort to control, restrict and conceal information." Sound
familiar? The current president has seen to it that even
future historians won't get access to papers he wants to
hide; he quietly gutted the Presidential Records Act of
1978, the very reform enacted by Congress as a
post-Watergate antidote to pathological Nixonian secrecy. 

The path of the Bush White House as it has moved from
Agnew-style press baiting to outright assault has also
followed its antecedent. The Nixon administration's first
legal attack on the press, a year before the Watergate
break-in, was its attempt to stop The Times and The
Washington Post from publishing the Pentagon Papers, the
leaked internal Defense Department history of our failure
in Vietnam. Though 9/11 prompted Ari Fleischer's first
effort to warn the media to "watch what they say," it's
failure in Iraq that has pushed the Bush administration
over the edge. It was when Operation Iraqi Freedom was
bogged down early on that it spun the fictional saga of
Jessica Lynch. It's when the percentage of Americans who
felt it was worth going to war in Iraq fell to 50 percent
in the Sept. 2003 Gallup poll, down from 73 that April,
that identically worded letters "signed" by different
soldiers mysteriously materialized in 11 American
newspapers, testifying that security for Iraq's citizens
had been "largely restored." (As David Greenberg writes in
his invaluable "Nixon's Shadow," phony letters to news
outlets were also a favorite Nixon tactic.) The legal
harassment of the press, like the Republican party's
Web-driven efforts to discredit specific journalists even
at non-CBS networks, has escalated in direct ratio to the
war's decline in support. 

"What you're seeing on your TV screens," the president said
when minimizing the Iraq insurgency in May, are "the
desperate tactics of a hateful few." Maybe that's the sunny
news that can be found on a Sinclair station. Now, with our
election less than three weeks away, the bad news coming
out of Iraq everywhere else is a torrent. Reporters at
virtually every news organization describe a downward
spiral so dangerous that they can't venture anywhere in
Iraq without risking their lives. Last weekend marines
spoke openly and by name to Steve Fainaru of The Washington
Post about the quagmire they're witnessing firsthand and
its irrelevance to battling Al Qaeda, whose 9/11 attack
motivated many of them to enlist in the first place. "Every
day you read the articles in the States where it's like,
'Oh, it's getting better and better," said Lance Cpl.
Jonathan Snyder of Gettysburg, Pa. "But when you're here,
you know it's worse every day." Another marine, Lance Cpl.
Alexander Jones of Ball Ground, Ga., told Mr. Fainaru:
"We're basically proving out that the government is wrong.
We're catching them in a lie." Asked if he was concerned
that he and his buddies might be punished for speaking out,
Cpl. Brandon Autin of New Iberia, La., responded: "What are
they going to do - send us to Iraq?" 

What "they" can do is try to intimidate, harass, discredit
and prosecute news organizations that report stories like
this. If history is any guide, and the hubris of
re-election is tossed into the mix, that harrowing drama
can go on for a long time before we get to the feel-good
final act of "All the President's Men."

Jay Walking is a segment he does on the Tonight Show where he goes and asks 
people on the street "common sense" questions and the answers are usually 
completely off (i.e. "Who is the vice president?" "ummm, Al Gore.")

It can be pretty funny (and scary at the same time)

Dangerous Territory

October 15, 2004
 


 

The Sinclair Broadcasting Group, one of the nation's most
powerful television conglomerates, has a sad record of
using its public license to promote Republican causes.
Earlier this year, Sinclair tried to censor an installment
of "Nightline" on its 62 stations when Ted Koppel announced
plans to read out the names of soldiers killed in Iraq. Now
the company, owned by financial backers of President Bush
and other Republican politicians, plans to actively join
the re-election campaign. 

Its plan sounds like the plot of a bad political novel, or
an actual election in post-Soviet Russia. The Times and
other newspapers reported this week that Sinclair, a
Maryland-based company that reaches nearly a quarter of
American households, would broadcast a propaganda film in
the next two weeks that labels Senator John Kerry a liar, a
traitor and a "willing accomplice" of the enemy during the
Vietnam War. It claims, falsely, that his antiwar
statements inspired the North Vietnamese to step up the
torture of American prisoners, and it is filled with other
distortions about the war in Vietnam. 

Sinclair has instructed its stations, which are heavily
represented in swing states like Florida and Wisconsin, to
run the film without commercials in the evening. The
company already compels them to broadcast editorials and
commentaries favorable to Mr. Bush and his policies. But
this is a whole new arena, and little different from making
the stations give donations to the Republican campaign. 

We would be just as appalled if one of the major networks
forced its affiliates to broadcast "Fahrenheit 9/11" next
week and call it a news program. 

The movie that caught Sinclair's eye, a 45-minute diatribe
called "Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal," rehashes
Republican charges that are familiar to everyone from the
latest round of ads attacking Mr. Kerry's antiwar
activities: primarily that he lied to the Senate in 1971
about atrocities in Vietnam and that his testimony and the
antiwar movement in general aided the North Vietnamese and
harmed American soldiers. This line of reasoning neatly
dovetails with the Bush campaign's assertions that
criticizing Mr. Bush's conduct of the war in Iraq is
unpatriotic and harms American soldiers. 

Eighteen Democratic senators asked the Federal
Communications Commission to stop Sinclair from
broadcasting the new film, but the commission was right to
refuse. As painful as it is to defend this agency, which
has shown more interest in Janet Jackson's breast than in
really doing its job, we believe that the federal
government cannot indulge in that sort of prior restraint. 

But the F.C.C. also cannot ignore Sinclair's poor record
when it comes to meeting its obligation to act responsibly
and fairly in the public interest, a duty it assumed when
it accepted custody of a license to broadcast on the public
airwaves. Broadcasting "Stolen Honor" within two weeks of
the election would clearly violate those commitments. 

Sinclair says it is just trying to give its viewers news.
Unfortunately, this film is not news, and not journalism.
It makes no attempt at balance or fairness. Its interviews
with 17 men who were imprisoned and tortured in Hanoi are
powerful. But the narrator and producer, Carlton Sherwood,
a former journalist on leave from his job in a company that
provides "homeland security" services to the government,
exploits these brave men and their distinguished service
for a cause that he openly says is personal. 

Sinclair's First Amendment defenses lack credibility
because it denied those rights to "Nightline." At the time,
Sinclair's spokesman, Mark Hyman, who doubles as a
conservative commentator, said Mr. Koppel's program did not
deserve to be broadcast because it had "no proportionality"
and ignored other aspects of the issues. It was hard to see
how that could describe a tribute to the war dead, but it's
a perfect description of "Stolen Honor." 

Yesterday, Mr. Hyman seemed to be hedging a bit on
Sinclair's plans, saying the program was not finished and
would be balanced. But it was unnerving to hear him adhere
to his bizarre claim that the major broadcast networks who
wisely declined to run "Stolen Honor" when Mr. Sherwood
offered it to them were no different than "Holocaust
deniers." 

If the company is thinking about seriously changing course,
it should do it quickly. Sinclair is in dangerous
territory. If television companies force their local
stations to campaign blatantly, it will not be long before
the administrations that have the power to grant licenses
begin expecting such favors as a quid pro quo. And the
public will question whether it can afford to allow such
concentrations of power in the hands of huge media
corporations.

Paralyzed, a Soldier Asks Why

October 15, 2004
 By BOB HERBERT 



 

DALE CITY, Va. 

Sunlight was pouring through the doorway to the furnished
basement of the neat two-story home on Reardon Lane. The
doorway had been widened to accommodate the wheelchair of
Army Staff Sgt. Eugene Simpson Jr., who was once a star
athlete but now, at age 27, spends a lot of time in his
parents' basement, watching the large flat-screen TV. 

I asked the sergeant whether he ever gets depressed. "No,"
he said quickly, before adding, "I mean, I could say I was
sad for a while. But it didn't really last long." 

Sergeant Simpson's expertise is tank warfare. But the Army
is stretched thin, and the nation's war plans at times have
all the coherence of football plays drawn up in the
schoolyard. When Sergeant Simpson's unit was deployed from
Germany to Iraq, the tanks were left behind and the
sergeant ended up bouncing around Tikrit in a Humvee, on
the lookout for weapons smugglers and other vaguely defined
"bad guys." 

He said he felt more like a cop than a soldier. 

One
evening last April, Sergeant Simpson was the passenger in
the lead vehicle of a four-vehicle convoy on a routine
patrol in Tikrit. "It was a little housing area," he said.
"We were just there to show a presence." 

Iraqi soldiers were in the second vehicle of the convoy.


"I looked back and the Iraqi truck had stopped for some
reason," Sergeant Simpson said. 

He waved the driver forward, but the truck remained
motionless. "That was odd," he said. "They wouldn't follow
us. Then I happened to look down between two houses and I
saw an Iraqi guy standing in the alley with like a remote
control key for a car. And that was odd because there were
like no cars in the whole little housing area." 

Sergeant Simpson had been taught that key remotes can be
used by insurgents to set off explosives. "So I knew right
then something was wrong, and I raised up my gun to fire at
him. But before I could get my weapon all the way up he
pushed the button." 

The bomb hidden in the road exploded with terrific force
just a few feet from Sergeant Simpson. 

"When I saw the explosion go off, I tried to jump back into
the center of the Humvee for more protection," he said.
"Everything went in slow motion for about 15 seconds. I saw
scrap metal and dust and everything flying by me, and I
felt it hitting me all in my legs and my back. It felt like
hot metal burning my skin everywhere." 

The driver of the Humvee fired at the attacker, who
vanished. Sergeant Simpson was in agony. "It hurt so bad, I
couldn't cry," he said. 

The sergeant's spinal cord had been severed. On the short
drive back to their home camp, he felt as if he was dying.
"I would open and close my eyes," he said, "and all I could
see was my family." 

Sergeant Simpson is paralyzed from the waist down. He said
he remembers hearing, as he was airlifted from Baghdad back
to Germany, the moans and the cries and the weeping of the
many other wounded soldiers on the plane. And he remembers
the grief of the severely wounded soldiers in the military
hospital in Landstuhl, where most of the evacuees from Iraq
are taken. He saw amputees, and soldiers who were paralyzed
or had suffered brain damage or other crippling injuries. 

"Some of them never wanted anybody to come into their
room," he said. "They never wanted to talk to anybody. The
ones with the lesser injuries - you know, maybe got shot in
the arm, that kind of thing - they were more upbeat." 

Sergeant Simpson is married to a German woman, Shirley
Weber, and they have two children. He is trying to get his
family into the U.S., but the red tape is formidable. "The
separation from them - that's the hardest thing to deal
with," he said. 

His feelings about the military, at the moment, are
ambivalent. "Of course, I still wish I could walk and still
be in the military," he said. "That's what I love to do." 

But when I asked if he still loved the military itself, he
paused and then said: 

"Not as much. That's basically because we were over there,
all these young guys, doing our jobs, but we really didn't
know why we were there. I ask myself, 'What was our
purpose?' And to this day I still can't figure out our
purpose for being there." 

He said he accepted his obligation, as a soldier, to fight.
He is not resentful. But he would have appreciated a little
more clarity about what he was fighting for.

Courting the Finicky Women

October 15, 2004
 By MAUREEN DOWD 



 

I'm just not that into them. 

I could apply all the rationalizations women use to make
excuses for men who are clearly not their dream guys from
the new best seller "He's Just Not That Into You," by two
former "Sex and the City" writers: 

"It's better than nothing." "It's just the way he was
brought up." "He just says things he doesn't mean." "He's
got a lot on his mind." "Maybe he's intimidated." "He's
just finding himself." 

But in the end, I'm forced to admit, I'm just not that into
them. 

The third debate date with Long-Faced Guy and Mini-Me was
not particularly gratifying, edifying or electrifying.
Neither the robotic Kerry (still struggling to land an open
punch on a president divorced from reality) nor the
herky-jerky Bush (still struggling to find an appealing
onstage persona) seemed presidential or inspiring. 

The two candidates were trying for sparks on Wednesday
night, jousting over the 61 percent of undecided voters who
are women, such as the single women, the security moms and
the Medicare grandmas. 

John Kerry and George W. Bush remembered the ladies with
bouquets of uxoriousness and spirituality. 

It was a contest to see who was closer to his family and
who was closer to God. Sounding like a New Age guru, Mr.
Kerry burbled: "I think we have a lot more loving of our
neighbor to do in this country and on this planet."
Sounding like Moses, he intoned: "We're all God's children,
Bob." 

The two gentlemen callers competed to offer the sweetest
encomiums to their wives and daughters, though Mr. Kerry
showed the bite in his overwhitened, overeager "I'm smarter
than you but I'm trying not to show it" grin when he
strategically dragged Dick Cheney's gay daughter back into
the debate, a dead-wrong thing to do. 

The president - realizing that it's not enough to simply
scare women to death about their kids by letting his creepy
vice president put out his spooky threat that there will be
more terrorist attacks if Mr. Kerry is elected - wooed
women voters with a reminiscence that sounded like a gauzy
Lifetime movie scene: love-at-first-sight over the burgers.


"I can't tell you how lucky I am when I met her in the
backyard of Joe and Jan O'Neill in Midland, Tex.," Mr. Bush
recalled. "It was the classic backyard barbecue. O'Neill
said, 'Come on over, I think you'll find somebody who might
interest you.' So I said all right, bopped over there.
There's only four of us there. And not only did she
interest me, I guess you could say it was love at first
sight." 

Mr. Kerry tried to show more anima than Mr. Bush by talking
about the strong moral compass provided by his wife and
daughters and throwing in a sentimental tribute to his late
mom: "And just before I was deciding to run and she was in
the hospital, and I went in to talk to her and tell her
what I was thinking of doing. ... And she just looked at me
and she said, 'Remember: integrity, integrity, integrity.'
Those are the three words that she left me with." 

After too much time spent on chummy talk about wives and
not enough spent on tart talk about stem cells and on how
the president and vice president should not be considered
authorities on foreign policy or national security, given
their dismal performance in these areas, I was missing the
unsentimental fireball Howard Dean, whose wife never even
showed up to see him campaign until the press made a fuss
about it. 

Wednesday's exchange was saintly, and Tweedledee and
Tweedledum. The rivals, dressed in almost identical reddish
polka-dot ties and the inevitable flag lapel pins, sparred
with equally lame lines: Tony Soprano versus the Left Bank.


Watching Mr. Bush's tired retread of his dad's barbs
against Michael Dukakis (He's a liberal! He's a liberal!
He's from Massachusetts! He's on a first-name basis with
Teddy Kennedy! Teddy Kennedy!), I found myself longing for
some original moment. If only Mr. Kerry, who follows Mr.
Bush's lead too much, had broken out with a Looney Tunes
lapel pin. 

Or if Mr. Kerry had only taken off after Mr. Bush when he
began ranting that "only a liberal senator from
Massachusetts would say that a 49 percent increase in
funding for education was not enough." 

Mr. Kerry should have at least tried to pierce Mr. Bush's
nimbus of mendacity on Iraq and Saddam and Al Qaeda and the
economy, and reached for a dramatic moment - ā la Captain
"Ah, but the strawberries" Queeg, or Jack "You can't handle
the truth" Nicholson - by riposting, "Only a delusional
frat boy from Crawford. ..." 

Then I could have gotten into them.

Block the Vote

October 15, 2004
 By PAUL KRUGMAN 



 

Earlier this week former employees of Sproul & Associates
(operating under the name Voters Outreach of America), a
firm hired by the Republican National Committee to register
voters, told a Nevada TV station that their supervisors
systematically tore up Democratic registrations. 

The accusations are backed by physical evidence and appear
credible. Officials have begun a criminal investigation
into reports of similar actions by Sproul in Oregon. 

Republicans claim, of course, that they did nothing wrong -
and that besides, Democrats do it, too. But there haven't
been any comparably credible accusations against Democratic
voter-registration organizations. And there is a pattern of
Republican efforts to disenfranchise Democrats, by any
means possible. 

Some of these, like the actions reported in Nevada, involve
dirty tricks. For example, in 2002 the Republican Party in
New Hampshire hired an Idaho company to paralyze Democratic
get-out-the-vote efforts by jamming the party's phone
banks. 

But many efforts involve the abuse of power. For example,
Ohio's secretary of state, a Republican, tried to use an
archaic rule about paper quality to invalidate thousands of
new, heavily Democratic registrations. 

That attempt failed. But in Wisconsin, a Republican county
executive insists that this year, when everyone expects a
record turnout, Milwaukee will receive fewer ballots than
it got in 2000 or 2002 - a recipe for chaos at polling
places serving urban, mainly Democratic voters. 

And Florida is the site of naked efforts to suppress
Democratic votes, and the votes of blacks in particular. 

Florida's secretary of state recently ruled that voter
registrations would be deemed incomplete if those
registering failed to check a box affirming their
citizenship, even if they had signed an oath saying the
same thing elsewhere on the form. Many counties are,
sensibly, ignoring this ruling, but it's apparent that some
officials have both used this rule and other technicalities
to reject applications as incomplete, and delayed notifying
would-be voters of problems with their applications until
it was too late. 

Whose applications get rejected? A Washington Post
examination of rejected applications in Duval County found
three times as many were from Democrats, compared with
Republicans. It also found a strong tilt toward rejection
of blacks' registrations. 

The case of Florida's felon list - used by state officials,
as in 2000, to try to wrongly disenfranchise thousands of
blacks - has been widely reported. Less widely reported has
been overwhelming evidence that the errors were deliberate.


In an article coming next week in Harper's, Greg Palast,
who originally reported the story of the 2000 felon list,
reveals that few of those wrongly purged from the voting
rolls in 2000 are back on the voter lists. State officials
have imposed Kafkaesque hurdles for voters trying to get
back on the rolls. Depending on the county, those
attempting to get their votes back have been required to
seek clemency for crimes committed by others, or to go
through quasi-judicial proceedings to prove that they are
not felons with similar names. 

And officials appear to be doing their best to make voting
difficult for those blacks who do manage to register.
Florida law requires local election officials to provide
polling places where voters can cast early ballots. Duval
County is providing only one such location, when other
counties with similar voting populations are providing
multiple sites. And in Duval and other counties the early
voting sites are miles away from precincts with black
majorities. 

Next week, I'll address the question of whether the votes
of Floridians with the wrong color skin will be fully
counted if they are cast. Mr. Palast notes that in the 2000
election, almost 180,000 Florida votes were rejected
because they were either blank or contained overvotes.
Demographers from the U.S. Civil Rights Commission estimate
that 54 percent of the spoiled ballots were cast by blacks.
And there's strong evidence that this spoilage didn't
reflect voters' incompetence: it was caused mainly by
defective voting machines and may also reflect deliberate
vote-tampering. 

The important point to realize is that these abuses aren't
aberrations. They're the inevitable result of a Republican
Party culture in which dirty tricks that distort the vote
are rewarded, not punished. It's a culture that will
persist until voters - whose will still does count, if
expressed strongly enough - hold that party accountable.

Iraq&#39;s New Power Couple

October 15, 2004
 By BARTLE BREESE BULL 



 

Baghdad 

Moktada al-Sadr's headquarters in Najaf is in a tiny alley
next to the city's famous shrine of the Imam Ali. As the
fighting between American forces and his Mahdi Army wound
down in August, I went there with two of his men, who
showed me a piece of paper bearing two seals: one belonged
to their boss, the other to Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani,
the ultimate Shiite religious authority in Iraq. Below the
seals were the five promises of Mr. Sadr's cease-fire,
including his commitment to "participate actively in the
political process" and to "work cooperatively" toward
Iraq's January elections. 

At the time, many observers scoffed at the deal, citing Mr.
Sadr's previous broken promises and the failure of his men
to turn over their arms after the Najaf siege. Yet two
recent developments - one covered in the international
press, the other unnoticed - show that such skepticism may
have been misplaced. 

The first is Mr. Sadr's stated intention to form a
political party; the second is the behind-the-scenes
rejuvenation of Ahmad Chalabi, the former exile leader and
longtime favorite of the Pentagon who so notoriously split
with his American sponsors in May. Mr. Sadr's commitment is
for real, it represents momentous progress for the
democratic project in Iraq and it signals the emergence of
a broad and powerful Shiite front - with Ahmad Chalabi at
its center. 

The weapons handover in Sadr City, the huge Baghdad slum
named after Mr. Sadr's father, is just the latest promising
sign. Mr. Sadr's people told me in confidence after the
Najaf uprising about plans to start a political party for
the upcoming elections. They had planned to call their
political organization the Mahdi Party, in homage to a
12th-century imam whose return, Shiites believe, will bring
Iraq's majority group its era of justice. Now they have
gone public with their electoral plans and, in a sign of
growing political sophistication, they have chosen the more
accommodating name of the Patriotic Front. 

The Mahdi Army insurrections this summer in Najaf and Sadr
City had nothing to do with Mr. Sadr's thinking that he
could achieve military goals against American forces. If he
had wanted to derail the occupation, he would have done
what the Sunni insurgents do: keep his men out of harm's
way and focus his violence toward fellow Iraqis, foreign
civilians and government targets like power stations. 

Rather, he was moving to ensure his future role by seizing
political momentum among the Shiite demographic that
matters to him: the young urban poor. 

Similarly, it is not weariness and attrition that are now
making him lay down his weapons. It is easy to buy or make
more weapons in Iraq. And the ranks of his followers can be
as endlessly replenished as were those of the Vietcong. I
have spoken to members of every age group among them: the
21-year-olds with their black militia garb and
rocket-propelled grenades, the 15-year-olds melting holes
in the asphalt where the howitzer shells can be placed to
lie in wait for American vehicles, the wounded 6-year-olds
in hospital beds whose fathers brag that the little boys
will be fighting in five years' time. 

Mr. Sadr's new party and the older Shiite groups are likely
to form the basis for a unified list of candidates that
should capture at least 55 percent of the vote in January -
and possibly more if Kurdish and Sunni groups can be
brought into the fold. If this front includes all Shiite
factions, it will receive Ayatollah Sistani's approval. But
if it leaves out any important Shiite components -
including Mr. Sadr - the old man will remain silent. 

Thus Mr. Sadr's new direction, like his efforts in Najaf,
is not a military move but a political one. Just as most of
his country's violence consists of Iraqi attacks against
fellow Iraqis, the basic fact of Iraqi politics is not
opposition to the occupation, but maneuvering between
Iraqis in the game of sectarian and ethnic politics. 

Meanwhile, Ahmad Chalabi's resurgence is natural. While
American officials have been embarrassed by reports that he
convinced them of exaggerated claims about Saddam Hussein's
weapons, most Iraqis do not care if he hoodwinked
Washington. He is an Iraqi, and his loyalties and destiny
lie with his own country, not America. What does matter to
Iraqis is that if there is one man alive without whom
Saddam Hussein would still be in power, that man is Mr.
Chalabi. 

President Bush may lose his job over his Iraqi adventure.
The Kurds in their mountains may not really care whether
the rest of Iraq was liberated or not. The Sunnis may be
sorely missing the perks of Baathist rule. But Mr.
Chalabi's fellow Shiites have benefited greatly from the
removal of a regime that persecuted them brutally, and they
thank him for it. 

And many Shiites see that Mr. Chalabi, always the savviest
Iraqi politician, has continued to make the right moves
since the 2003 invasion. He has publicly fallen out with
Washington. The interim government under Ayad Allawi has
ransacked his house and issued a bizarre warrant accusing
him of counterfeiting Iraq's worthless old currency. When I
last saw Mr. Chalabi, he had just survived an ambush laid
by Sunni insurgents in which two of his guards were killed.


Saddam Hussein, Washington, Mr. Allawi and the Sunnis: Mr.
Chalabi has the right enemies, at least in the eyes of most
Shiites. As he said with a laugh when I mentioned his many
opponents to him, "That's not a bad thing." 

Equally important, he has the right friends. A member of a
leading family from Baghdad's secular Shiite merchant class
(Chalabi means "head merchant"), he is well connected and
working harder than ever behind the scenes. The ambush that
killed his bodyguards took place as he was returning to
Baghdad from a meeting in Najaf with Grand Ayatollah
Sistani. Mr. Chalabi told me has met with the paramount
spiritual leader "10 or 12 times" - far more than any other
politician can claim. He is also one of the few politicians
to have spent time with Mr. Sadr. And the rebel leader's
deputies have met a dozen times with Mr. Chalabi's
political organization. Not bad for a man given up as
politically dead just this summer. 

Mr. Chalabi has created two groups, the Shiite House and
the Shiite Political Council, which bring Iraq's various
Shiite political movements and parties together under a
loose umbrella. This is reminiscent of the Iraqi National
Congress that he ran from London during the last years of
Saddam Hussein. When we spoke last month, he had just
arranged for Ali Smesim, Mr. Sadr's top lieutenant, to
visit the Kurdish leadership at Sulaimaniya. Similar
delegations have been sent to various Sunni groups. 

While Washington may not be pleased to hear that militant
Sunnis are talking to Mahdi Army representatives, Mr.
Chalabi and Mr. Sadr may well help get American troops out
of the country. After five centuries under Sunni rule,
Iraq's Shiites majority will get its elections in January.
In the end, Mr. Sadr and the occupation have common cause
on the issue that matters most: a stable democratic
outcome. 

This shared goal is the basis for the accommodation that
can save the country: the Shiites plus the Kurds plus those
Sunnis who are not Baathists or religious extremists make
up about 90 percent of the country. And Mr. Chalabi, who in
the 1990's held together a coalition of secularists and
Islamists, Kurds and Arabs, Sunnis and Shiites, monarchists
and socialists, is uniquely suited to arranging an
electoral alliance among Iraq's Shiite factions. And as a
secular pragmatist, he is the Shiite most likely to
understand the need to assure Iraq's minority groups that
"democracy" is not simply shorthand for "tyranny of the
majority." 

Moktada al-Sadr has shown a knack for politics since he
emerged from the rubble of Saddam Hussein's fall. Now he
has shown a willingness to play Alexander to Ahmad
Chalabi's Aristotle, learning the game from the master. The
Americans, and the interim Iraqi government, would do well
to stop seeing these men as enemies and start working with
them on building a free Iraq. 

Bartle Breese Bull, who reported from Iraq for The
Financial Times, is writing a book on Harlem in the 1990's.

Series Looks at Broadway as a Prism for History

October 19, 2004
 By DINITIA SMITH 



 

"Broadway!" cries Adolph Green. "Da da da dada doo," he
says, snapping his fingers to an imaginary tune. "Broadway
is life! It's glamorous. It's dazzling!" And so begins
"Broadway: The American Musical," a six-hour documentary
series, to be broadcast over three consecutive nights on
PBS starting tonight. 

"Broadway: The American Musical," is a pageant of music,
dance and rare film clips of Broadway's most vibrant
moments. The host of the series is Julie Andrews, and it
has interviews with many of those who lived the history,
including Mel Brooks, Arthur Laurents, Harold Prince,
Stephen Sondheim, George C. Wolfe, Tommy Tune, John Kander
and Fred Ebb. 

The documentary is a valentine created by two unabashed
enthusiasts: Michael Kantor, a filmmaker, and Laurence
Maslon, a professor in the Tisch School of the Arts at New
York University, who is the series' senior consultant. They
wrote the show's companion book. 

Mr. Maslon is the kind of person who starts singing over
lunch, "I'm gonna love you/ Like nobody's loved you ..." 

Without missing a beat, Mr. Kantor (tenor) responds: "Come
rain or come shine ... Happy together ..." (from Harold
Arlen and Johnny Mercer's "St. Louis Woman"). 

The two have marked their lives in terms of Broadway
milestones. " '1776,' " Mr. Maslon, 45, recalled. "It was a
life changing experience. I was 9. I had never seen
anything so dramatic. I thought all musicals were about men
yelling at each other in wigs." 

"Anything with passion in it can make a great show," Mr.
Maslon went on. "I want the Declaration of Independence,
dammit!" 

"A friend says the first show you see marks you for life,"
he noted. 

Mr. Kantor, 43, a director and writer, was working on Ken
Burns's PBS documentary series "The West," a sweeping
historical narrative, when he had the idea for a
comprehensive film history of the Broadway musical. "I
thought it would be an ideal way into American cultural
history." He teamed up with Mr. Maslon, who wrote the
biography of Richard Rodgers for "American Masters" on PBS
and edited the Library of America edition of George S.
Kaufman's comedies. 

Their goal, Mr. Maslon said, was to show "the growth of the
musical from civic and urban events, how it was formed by
immigration, World War II." 

They applied for grants from the National Endowment for the
Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities. The
film ended up costing over $7 million and was a
co-production of Mr. Kantor's Ghost Light Films,
Thirteen/NET, NHK and BBC in association with Carlton
International. "The rights to all that material ain't
cheap," Mr. Maslon said of the music and film clips that
make up the film. 

Mr. Kantor said, "Our goal was the most honest and truthful
representation of Broadway." Although the film makers used
clips from movie versions, they said they tried to include
film of original Broadway productions, like "Cabaret," when
possible. "Many people know Liza Minnelli's Academy
Award-winning performance as Sally Bowles in the film," he
said. "But we're telling the story of Hal Prince, of Jill
Haworth as Sally Bowles. It was Hal Prince's first big
production." 

The series begins at the beguine, with Broadway's roots in
vaudeville and the Ziegfeld Follies. The girls were
beautiful, the shows exquisite, the curtains designed by
Erte. The producers filmed an original Ziegfeld girl, Doris
Easton, dancing and singing at the age of 99, to music from
"Mandy" at the New Amsterdam Theater, where it originally
played in 1919: "Mandy, there's a minister handy." 

But the Follies were also "an amalgamation of everything
that was happening in America," Philip Furia, a history
professor at the University of North Carolina, says in the
film. Ziegfeld introduced America to the Jewish immigrant,
Irving Berlin, the outrightly Jewish comedian Fanny Brice
and insisted on hiring the African-American comedian Bert
Williams over the objections of some cast members. "Go if
you want," Ziegfeld told them. "I can replace every one of
you except the man you want me to fire." 

It was Ziegfeld who brought the world "Show Boat" in 1927,
revolutionary for its time with its serious story about
miscegenation and its well developed characters. "The
history of the American musical is divided quite simply
into two eras," Miles Kreuger, an expert on the musical
theater who appears in the documentary, says. "Everything
before 'Show Boat' and everything after 'Show Boat.' " 

But if the series has one major theme, it's that the
Broadway musical has always been subversive, ahead of its
time in form and subject matter. Think of the "Daily Show"
with Jon Stewart on Comedy Central, where cultural norms
and political foibles can be mercilessly mocked without the
censure of the Hayes Committee, which came to rule
Hollywood. For instance, "Of Thee I Sing," a bitter satire
of American politics in 1931 in the Depression, "was
probably never filmed because it was too potent to make
into a movie," Mr. Maslon said. 

There are those who would dispute that claim, arguing that
Broadway has become one of the most conventional and
risk-averse art forms around. 

But Mr. Kantor and Mr. Maslon are having none of that.
"People are saying right now it is just dead," Mr. Kantor
said. "But no one is forcing people to see 'The Lion King.'
It's grossed over a billion dollars. Try and get people to
come into a big theater. It's not easy." 

It's the magic of Broadway that entices Mr. Maslon and Mr.
Kantor rather than its financial, marketing or artistic
problems. Broadway is an experience like no other, they
say. First there's the show, of course. But "part of it's
the room," the theater itself, Mr. Kantor said. "It's 90,
100 years old." 

Mr. Maslon continued: "It's the smell of pretzels, the
newsstands at the subway, the drinks after the show. 

"Broadway is the sum of all its parts."

CRITIC'S NOTEBOOK
Winning moves
Artistry and back-patting highlight the American Choreography Awards.
By Lewis Segal , Times Staff Writer

If dancers are usually nothing more than sideshows or special effects in 
contemporary Hollywood, the annual American Choreography Awards allows them one 
long evening of delirious self-celebration and empowerment.

Divided into eight categories, the awards honor achievements in dance on 
camera and often confirm the worst about the dancers' status quo. But the event 
itself is more a carnival of the dispossessed than a conventional, 
celebrity-laden trophy giveaway.

As the nearly four-hour 10th edition confirmed Sunday at the Orpheum Theatre, 
the show releases the commercial dance world's deep sense of family loyalty. 
Consequently, the people responsible for sleazy, derivative dance numbers from 
the most forgettable film musicals or TV shows will frequently earn titanic 
ovations, compared with the polite approval granted the greatest concert-dance 
choreographers of our time (Paul Taylor, for example).

However, it's the concert-dance world that invariably contributes the most 
indelible live performances. On Sunday, these highlights included the 
phenomenally pliant Matthew Rushing in Alvin Ailey's "A Songfor You," the magically 
buoyant Marty Lawson in David Parsons' "Caught," and the daring, hyper-gymnastic 
members of Diavolo Dance Theatre in excerpts from "The Wheel."

Soulful ensemble choreography by Ka-Ron Brown Lehman, fierce and buoyant 
martial-arts gymnastics by Matt Mullins and the Talauegas' spectacular display of 
"krumping" (the re-Africanized, militarized successor to hip-hop) also 
punctuated the proceedings.

In speaking about the late Walt Disney during one of Sunday's special 
tributes, his brother Roy O. Disney called movies "a rhythmic medium" and drew 
attention to the Disney animators' focus on "the analysis of motion."

This focus linked Disney's dances to Parsons (whose "Caught" exploits the 
same perceptual quirk that allows us to see a series of still drawings as a 
moving image), to Mullins, to the krumping segment and to all the other 
choreographies (live or taped) that attempted something more purposeful in movement terms 
than just a pileup offlashy diversions. And it suddenly made you view Walt D. 
not only as a film innovator but also as an unlikely but genuine 
postmodernist.

Along with Walt Disney and Lehman, choreographer/director Kenny Ortega 
received one of the special (out-of-competition) awards ? and would have deserved it 
had he done nothing else in his career but the bracingly politicized theater 
piece "Declare Yourself" at the very end of the program.

Co-directed by Ortega and Robert Egan, this collage of pithy spoken and 
danced viewpoints on millennial America provided a reality check for the whole 
event. If it jolted dancers out of their self-obsession long enough to send them 
to the polls on Nov. 2, Ortega and Egan ought to get a special public service 
award next year.

Thought you all might be interested in reading this review of the Gallery 
Players production of Hair, currently running through November 7th in Park 
Slope, Brooklyn, NYC. Sounds like a good production, worth seeing for those 
of you in the area. We're going on the 6th. Details, for those interested, 
are in the Cirrent Productions page on the web site.

What a satisfying review to read, really seems to "get" Hair, thanks, Nina.
I look 
forward to hearing your thoughts after you've seen it (and what better
place than 
Brooklyn for a Hair production!)  Say hi to the Promenade for me....

of HAiR?  Not so hot, was it?

I enjoyed the special, overall, but I thought they spent way too much time on 
some shows (10 minutes on Sweeney Todd? I like the musical but....) and 
didn't even touch on others (where was Ragtime?!) 

I thought the piece on HAIR was well done - definitely showed it's historic 
importance

So Friday night my friends and I had a girl's night out and we went dancing. 
And we're dancing and having fun and they're playing dance music and all of a 
sudden I hear Let the Sunshine In! And my one friend (who is a huge musical 
theatre fan as well) and I turn to each other and say, "Wait a minute - is that 
Hair??" and sure enough there is some dance song that samples Let the Sunshine 
In. It's by some group called Milk and Sugar.

RECOUNT.US
Bi-Partisan Presidential Recount Commission

We, the People of the United States, call for the immediate creation of a
Bi-Partisan Presidential Recount Commission to serve as a binding arbitrator
to resolve all disputes related to the election of the President of the
United States in 2004 - IF the winner is in serious dispute when the polls
close on Election Day.

Since there is no time for Congress to create such a Commission, we call
upon President George W. Bush and Senator John F. Kerry (and their
respective Party chairmen) to sign a letter of understanding (similar to the
debate letters) to submit all disputes to binding arbitration by this
Commission, instead of filing lawsuits.

The Commission would consist of the following distinguished Americans,
operating as bi-partisan pairs to put the National interest ahead of
partisan interests, as they have done successfully in the past: 


*	Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford, co-chairs of the National Commission
on Federal Election Reform 

*	Tom Keane and Lee Hamilton, co-chairs of the 9-11 Commission 

*	Gary Hart and Warren Rudman, co-chairs of the Commission on National
Security/21st Century 

The Commission would seek to resolve all disputes by applying the
fundamental principles of democracy: maximizing participation, transparency,
and accuracy while minimizing fraud and partisanship.

Amy I finally caught a glimpse of "HAiR" on PBS. I was in the kitchen
and missed a minute or so BUT the first group I saw was, Larry Marshall,
Robin Mc Namara and Allan Nichols (I Think it was Allan since I missed
part of it and only had a fast peek). I think they were doing the number
"Colored Spade". Comments on the tune anyone, they did not have any
sound in that shot. Also saw Jerry Ragni and Galt, couldn't find Jim ??
Unless I did not recognize him.

Then Ben Vereen spoke a bit, saw Heather McRae singing :-)) and pictures
of our own Bill Swiggard.... Was that you Bill? within a few pictures
yours was at the top.

It was awesome.... hope I catch it again so I can have a better, longer
and more accurate viewing.

peace,
barbara

Subject: RE: NPR and National Endowement For The Arts

On NPR's Morning Edition last week, Nina Tottenberg said that if the
Supreme Court supports Congress, it is in effect the end of the National
Public Radio (NPR), National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) & the Public
Broadcasting System (PBS). PBS, NPR and the arts are facing major
cutbacks in funding.

In spite of the efforts of each station to reduce spending costs and
streamline their services, some government officials believe that the
funding currently going to these programs is too large a portion for
something which is seen as not worthwhile. The only way that our
representatives can be aware of the base of support for PBS and these
types of programs is by making our voices heard. Please add your name to
this list and forward it to friends who believe in what this stands for.
This is for anyone who thinks these programs are a worthwhile
expenditure of $1.12/year of their taxes. The list will be forwarded to
the President and the Vice President of the United States.

HOW TO SIGN & FORWARD: IT'S EASY:

This petition is being passed around the Internet. Please keep it
rolling. Do not reply to me. Sign and forward to others to sign. DON'T
WORRY ABOUT DUPLICATES. This is being forwarded to many people at once.
It won't matter if many people receive the same list as the names are
being managed. If you sign, please forward on to others.

If you prefer not to sign, please don't kill it. Send it to one of these two
e-mail
addresses: wein2688@blue.univnorthco.edu <

If you happen to be the 150th,
200th, 250th, etc., signer of this petition, please forward a copy to:
wein2688@blue.univnorthco.edu. This way we can keep track of the lists and
organize them. Thank you!

NOTE: It is preferable that you SELECT (highlight) the entirety of this
letter and then COPY it into a new outgoing message, rather than simply
forwarding it. In your new outgoing message, add your name to the bottom
of the list, then send it on.

POLITICS

Karl Rove: America's Mullah

This election is about Rovism, and the outcome threatens to transform the
U.S. into an ironfisted theocracy.
 By Neal Gabler
 Neal Gabler, a senior fellow at the Norman Lear Center at USC Annenberg, is
author of "Life the Movie: How Entertainment Conquered Reality."

 October 24, 2004

 Even now, after Sen. John F. Kerry handily won his three debates with
President Bush and after most polls show a dead heat, his supporters seem
downbeat. Why? They believe that Karl Rove, Bush's top political operative,
cannot be beaten. Rove the Impaler will do whatever it takes ? anything ? to
make certain that Bush wins. This isn't just typical Democratic pessimism.
It has been the master narrative of the 2004 presidential campaign in the
mainstream media. Attacks on Kerry come and go ? flip-flopper, Swift boats,
Massachusetts liberal ? but one constant remains, Rove, and everyone takes
it for granted that he knows how to game the system.

 Rove, however, is more than a political sharpie with a bulging bag of dirty
tricks. His campaign shenanigans ? past and future ? go to the heart of what
this election is about.

 Democrats will tell you it is a referendum on Bush's incompetence or on his
extremist right-wing agenda. Republicans will tell you it's about
conservatism versus liberalism or who can better protect us from terrorists.
They are both wrong. This election is about Rovism ? the insinuation of
Rove's electoral tactics into the conduct of the presidency and the fabric
of the government. It's not an overstatement to say that on Nov. 2, the fate
of traditional American democracy will hang in the balance.

 Rovism is not simply a function of Rove the political conniver sitting in
the counsels of power and making decisions, though he does. No recent
presidency has put policy in the service of politics as has Bush's. Because
tactics can change institutions, Rovism is much more. It is a philosophy and
practice of governing that pervades the administration and even extends to
the Republican-controlled Congress. As Robert Berdahl, chancellor of UC
Berkeley, has said of Bush's foreign policy, a subset of Rovism, it
constitutes a fundamental change in "the fabric of constitutional government
as we have known it in this country."

 Rovism begins, as one might suspect from the most merciless of political
consiglieres, with Machiavelli's rule of force: "A prince is respected when
he is either a true friend or a downright enemy." No administration since
Warren Harding's has rewarded its friends so lavishly, and none has been as
willing to bully anyone who strays from its message.

 There is no dissent in the Rove White House without reprisal.

 Army Chief of Staff Gen. Eric K. Shinseki was retired after he disagreed
with Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's transformation of the Army and
then testified that invading Iraq would require a U.S. deployment of 200,000
soldiers. 

 Chief Medicare actuary Richard Foster was threatened with termination if he
revealed before the vote that the administration had seriously
misrepresented the cost of its proposed prescription drug plan to get it
through Congress. 

 Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill was peremptorily fired for questioning the
wisdom of the administration's tax cuts, and former U.S. administrator L.
Paul Bremer III felt compelled to recant his statement that there were
insufficient troops in Iraq.

 Even accounting for the strong-arm tactics of Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard
Nixon, this isn't government as we have known it. This is the Sopranos in
the White House: "Cross us and you're road kill."

 Naturally, the administration's treatment of the opposition is worse.
Rove's mentor, political advisor Lee Atwater, has been quoted as saying:
"What you do is rip the bark off liberals." That's how Bush has governed.
There is a feeling, perhaps best expressed by Georgia Democratic Sen. Zell
Miller's keynote address at the Republican convention, that anyone who has
the temerity to question the president is undermining the country. At times,
Miller came close to calling Democrats traitors for putting up a
presidential candidate.

 This may be standard campaign rhetoric. But it's one thing to excoriate
your opponents in a campaign, and quite another to continue berating them
after the votes are counted.

 Rovism regards any form of compromise as weakness. Politics isn't a bus we
all board together, it's a steamroller.

 No recent administration has made less effort to reach across the aisle,
and thanks to Rovism, the Republican majority in Congress often operates on
a rule of exclusion. Republicans blocked Democrats from participating in the
bill-drafting sessions on energy, prescription drugs and intelligence reform
in the House. As Rep. George Miller (D-Martinez) told the New Yorker, "They
don't consult with the nations of the world, and they don't consult with
Congress, especially the Democrats in Congress. They can do it all
themselves."

 Bush entered office promising to be a "uniter, not a divider." But Rovism
is not about uniting. What Rove quickly grasped is that it's easier and more
efficacious to exploit the cultural and social divide than to look for
common ground. No recent administration has as eagerly played wedge issues ?
gay marriage, abortion, stem cell research, faith-based initiatives ? to
keep the nation roiling, in the pure Rovian belief that the president's
conservative supporters will always be angrier and more energized than his
opponents. Division, then, is not a side effect of policy; in Rovism, it is
the purpose of policy.

 The lack of political compromise has its correlate in the administration's
stubborn insistence that it doesn't have to compromise with facts. All
politicians operate within an Orwellian nimbus where words don't mean what
they normally mean, but Rovism posits that there is no objective, verifiable
reality at all. Reality is what you say it is, which explains why Bush can
claim that postwar Iraq is going swimmingly or that a so-so economy is
soaring. As one administration official told reporter Ron Suskind, "We're an
empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality?. We're history's
actors."

 When neither dissent nor facts are recognized as constraining forces, one
is infallible, which is the sum and foundation of Rovism. Cleverly invoking
the power of faith to protect itself from accusations of stubbornness and
insularity, this administration entertains no doubt, no adjustment, no
negotiation, no competing point of view. As such, it eschews the essence of
the American political system: flexibility and compromise.

 In Rovism, toughness is the only virtue. The mere appearance of change is
intolerable, which is why Bush apparently can't admit ever making a mistake.
As Machiavelli put it, the prince must show that "his judgments are
irrevocable."

 Rovism is certainly not without its appeal. As political theorist Sheldon
Wolin once characterized Machiavellian government, it promises the "economy
of politics." Americans love toughness. They love swagger. In a world of
complexity and uncertainty, especially after Sept. 11, they love the idea of
a man who doesn't need anyone else. They even love the sense of mission,
regardless of its wisdom.

 These values run deep in the American soul, and Rovism consciously taps
them. But they are not democratic. Unwavering discipline, demonization of
foes, disdain for reality and a personal sense of infallibility based on
faith are the stuff of a theocracy ? the president as pope or mullah and
policy as religious warfare.

 Boiled down, Rovism is government by jihadis in the grip of unshakable
self-righteousness ? ironically the force the administration says it is
fighting. It imposes rather than proposes.

 Rovism surreptitiously and profoundly changes our form of government, a
government that has been, since its founding by children of the
Enlightenment, open, accommodating, moderate and generally reasonable.

 All administrations try to work the system to their advantage, and some,
like Nixon's, attempt to circumvent the system altogether. Rove and Bush
neither use nor circumvent, which would require keeping the system intact.
They instead are reconfiguring the system in extra-constitutional,
theocratic terms. 

 The idea of the United States as an ironfisted theocracy is terrifying, and
it should give everyone pause. This time, it's not about policy. This time,
for the first time, it's about the nature of American government.

 We all have reason to be very, very afraid.

Hmm, this one's been around the block before.  It's a hoax (see:
http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/n/nprpetition.htm).  Interestingly, it
says this was started by college students who wanted to "test the power of
the Internet."  And generally the best way to make your representatives
aware of issues that matter to you is to write to them directly.  And so it
goes...

Message-ID: <BAY9-F174gtopWd7KKQ00005c1d@hotmail.com>

Hi Corinne,

There has been no spam on the list. Every post that comes through that is 
not from a list member gets stopped by the filters and sent to me, and I 
personally look at it and either send it on or delete it. Whatever has come 
through to the list has been sent by a member because they felt it was 
worthy of our attention. If you could forward to me at <dayton3@rcn.com> the 
post that was upsetting to you I can perhaps better help, by understanding 
what it is you wish was not coming through to the list.

I am not clear what you mean when you say that things from you have been 
blocked. You are a subscribed member, so all your posts should go through to 
the list with a few exceptions - if the list address does not appear in the 
To or CC fields (no BCC allowed), if there are too many recipients to your 
email, or if the email is too large (over 100K). But even in these cases it 
should still go through though, because it would get sent to me, and I would 
OK anything you sent. If you could forward to me, at the above email 
address, anything you receive that says your post has been blocked I would 
greatly appreciate it. I will figure out what is happening, and fix it, as 
all posts from a subscribed list member should go through to the list.

Let me know. We'll figure it out!

Love,
Nina

I do NOT inderstand why Corinne is so upset about supposed spam on the
HAiR list.... There has been NO spam at all and if  she is upset about
ONE e-mail forwarded by Michael for a friend, I think she is
overstepping her boundaries and a bit uptight about one e-mail.

Is your life so regimented Corinne? Lighten up.

peace,
barbara

If I get chain letters through you, I want to quit the list. It is just
not worth it to get garbage. 
And whomever sent it to you should be taken off the list and blocked
forever from sending mail. 
I have tried several times to send you important stuff and was blocked.

I have gotten no spam or chain letters recently --- trust me, I'd be the 
first one to say if I did cuz that huge amount of spam that came through a few 
months ago drove me crazy!

Compadre,

Were we not lucky to have lived in that era? Notwithstanding the
circumstances, Warfield or whatever, I hate to say it, sounds like an old
saw but things were better those days for everyone.
Now where and how do we go? Spirituality is the only future and that wont
come from religion. God or the Gods are playing too many tricks. It can only
come from within. We had a chance in the 60's and we were not strong enough
to overcome the dark forces. Now they seem to be on both sides of the aisle.
I have great fear for the kids and more so for my grandchild. What a bleak
future they are facing. We need to continue to try to right this boat. The
important things are family and friends, the more the better. Compassion is
the keyword, so abused by our our current president. Let us hope the next
one does show that peace and love are the only objectives that will work.

Dear Ian,
I respect your views. I feel the dark forces have come from organized
religion. We all have the right to believe in whatever and to say so. The
terrible aspect is the continuing violence in name of God.

Michael:

I was intrigued by one of your comments.  You said: "Spirituality is the
only future and that wont come from religion. God or the Gods are playing
too many tricks. It can only come from within. We had a chance in the 60's
and we were not strong enough to overcome the dark forces.  Now they seem to
be on both sides of the aisle."

As a minister, I would be remiss in not asking: have you considered the
possibility that the very approach used in the 60s, and that you are
suggesting now again - "it can only come from within" - is the very reason
WHY you "were not strong enough to overcome the dark forces?"

>From the Judeo-Christian perspective, this "come from within" approach is
the very approach that STRENGTHENS the "dark forces" AGAINST the positive
spirituo-religious forces that might avail against them.

Yes, I know that many (perhaps most) non-believers have a dim view of
"religion," due to the way that all of them have been bastardized, co-opted
and apostatized.  However, I reiterate that "Religion is about laws and
behavior; faith is about a relationship with God (and Christ)".

In this regard, I, too, have serious concerns and misgivings about what has
come to be called "religion."  But that does not change my feeling - and my
understanding of my faith - that putting one's faith in oneself and one's
"better nature" or "good conscience" is dangerously misguided, and only
gives "the enemy" (whomever or whatever you perceive him/it to be) more
"fuel for the fire."  It is only when we put our faith in God - and refrain
from attempting to use our own efforts (spiritual or otherwise) - that the
"dark forces" might be overcome.

This does not mean idle worship (pun intended); i.e., simply praying and
hoping that things will change.  Certainly, even Christians (and other
believers) have an obligation to be active in trying to effect change for
the betterment of all people.  But to suggest that "God or the Gods are
playing too many tricks," and that we can - or even should - somehow attempt
to hinder God from His work (whether or not we are happy about the outcome
of that work: "His ways are not our ways") would seem to engender flagrant
arrogance or "pride" - the deadliest of all sins.

Peace.

In this regard, I, too, have serious concerns and misgivings about what has
come to be called "religion."  But that does not change my feeling - and my
understanding of my faith - that putting one's faith in oneself and one's
"better nature" or "good conscience" is dangerously misguided, and only
gives "the enemy" (whomever or whatever you perceive him/it to be) more
"fuel for the fire."  It is only when we put our faith in God - and refrain
from attempting to use our own efforts (spiritual or otherwise) - that the
"dark forces" might be overcome.

This does not mean idle worship (pun intended); i.e., simply praying and
hoping that things will change.  Certainly, even Christians (and other
believers) have an obligation to be active in trying to effect change for
the betterment of all people.  But to suggest that "God or the Gods are
playing too many tricks," and that we can - or even should - somehow attempt
to hinder God from His work (whether or not we are happy about the outcome
of that work: "His ways are not our ways") would seem to engender flagrant
arrogance or "pride" - the deadliest of all sins.

Peace.

Compadre,

Were we not lucky to have lived in that era? Notwithstanding the
circumstances, Warfield or whatever, I hate to say it, sounds like an old
saw but things were better those days for everyone.
Now where and how do we go? Spirituality is the only future and that wont
come from religion. God or the Gods are playing too many tricks. It can only
come from within. We had a chance in the 60's and we were not strong enough
to overcome the dark forces. Now they seem to be on both sides of the aisle.
I have great fear for the kids and more so for my grandchild. What a bleak
future they are facing. We need to continue to try to right this boat. The
important things are family and friends, the more the better. Compassion is
the keyword, so abused by our our current president. Let us hope the next
one does show that peace and love are the only objectives that will work.

Subject: [Mb-hair] God within or without? That seems to be the question
Message-ID: <000001c4bd68$3963b260$5160e804@pkorda>

It is not surprising to hear a man of the cloth arguing this question of
reliance on the community of religion to be our only salvation at this
time. I believe Ian, that you have misconstrued Michaels words. The only
mistake I believe you have made, is not recognising that being oneself,
is a remarkable evolutionary process, a sort of sculpture, painting,
poem of the reflection of our relationship with the natural sense of our
Spirit and The Supreme Being within us. This process, for want of a
better word, is the one started before, during and after our birth. It
began as an unwritten, unspoken, unexplainable sense of real.
Unfortunately it was capitalized on by those wishing to dominate others
by using their superstition to use them as soldiers, benefactors, and
slaves to their control.
Fear of hell, and not going to Heaven, was a nasty ploy on the innocent.
It has always been the individuals of religion that took their lives
into their own hands in partnership with the Divine to change the
definitions of mankinds values. The Divine lived in them and with them,
giving them the vision to see farther. On the other hand, though many
organised religions have undoubtably helped and supported those in need,
those same religions have tainted themselves by their use of power over
the innocent (bless their souls).
The concept of "Hair" and the sixties revolution was an awakening to the
natural sense of Spirit, the unwritten, unspoken and more felt
understanding of God.

I second that. Happy Birthday! 
 
BTW, there's a great picture in the newest issue of the New Yorker magazine of a few members of the 1969 cast of Hair. I just glanced at it yesterday and will scan it soon. Robin, Alan Nicholls, and Victoria Medlin are on top of Oatis Stephens while Larry Marshall watches from behind.

City of Austin - Parks and Recreation Department: Summer Playground 
Program;Intergenerational Juneteenth Program
Intergenerational Juneteenth Program


Every year Austin celebrates the Emancipation Proclamation birth in Texas 
with a series of events celebrating Juneteenth. None of them top the 
Intergenerational Celebration, a gathering of numerous people of all ages and races at 
Rosewood Park on June 18, 2001.

Stella Roland, of the Texas Emancipation Juneteenth Cultural & Historical 
Commission, and Denise DeLaPena, from Fox 7 Sports, the emcees of the day started 
the festivities. Rosemary Castleberry welcomed the audience on behalf of the 
Parks and Recreation Department. The children of the Summer Playground Program 
were in awe of "Body Talk", a dance group. The children had many other 
amusements besides the actions of the entertainment stage.

Kids walked around with Krispy Kream hats, and where did they get them? The 
booth with the long line! Everyone got the chance to dip his or her doughnut in 
chocolate and colorful sprinkles. Another popular site was coloring their 
free T-shirts, which were made possible by Dell Computers. H.E.B. held their own 
little carnival, which earned participants tokens. These tokens earned toys 
and other prizes provided by H.E.B. In the shade of the trees even more 
amusements delighted the children. Everyone took turns getting fake tattoos, face 
painting, blowing bubbles, and many other activities. Everyone who attended the 
Intergenerational Celebration walked away with smiles on their faces with more 
memories of Juneteenth.

Dear Tribe,
 
On September 18, 2004 I closed the production of "Hair" being done by the Silverlake Tribe at the Knightsbridge Theatre in Los Angeles.  I have been reading the island-list emails having been a member of the list for a couple months now.  I am honored to be part of the larger tribe and want to extend my best wishes for the birthday of Hair!!
 
I was told that being in the show would change my life - I didn't know the extent to which I would be effected then, but now I recognize just how deep and profound the effect is!
 

Silverlake Tribe - Knightsbridge Theatre Los Angeles 2004
 
Happy Birthday Hair!!

I have a funny memory of visiting the folk singer Jamie Brockett in 
Nottingham, New Hampshire, USA and he served me sticky spaghetti with Ketchup and Spam 
balls as a sauce! Ewwwww.. It was horrid.. Right in the middle of this dubious 
dinner a real estate person came to the door with a client to show his 
farm... which was on the market... The Devil made me do it.. I went face down into 
the spaghetti and spam and pretended to be dead. as they traipsed through the 
dining room of this old revolutionary war farmhouse... I was starving there b/c 
i couldn't imagine eating any of the things he served to me!   I lived on a 
Heath bar and some leftover food from the airplane trip! for the 3 or 4 days I 
was there...   Then I went up to NY and stayed at MIchael's brownstone right 
across the street from Yellowfinger's... Yummmmmmm.. and I believe it was on 
the same street as Mama Laura's   my favourite meal there was Quadretti 
Trifolatti..

Maybe he taught us how to love!   I know one thing I learned about love from 
MIchael, I learned it doesn't matter who you love as long as you love.

Message-ID: <ce.5b3074d6.2eb4be4e@aol.com>



Little Alice was in the first day of her 5th grade class when the
teacher asked the children what their fathers did for a living. All
the typical answers came up -- fireman, policeman, salesman, doctor,
lawyer. Alice was being uncharacteristically quiet, so the teacher
asked her about her father.
"My father's an exotic dancer in a gay cabaret and takes off all his
clothes in front of other men and they put money in his underwear.
Sometimes, if an offer's really good, he'll go home with some guy and
spend the night for money."
The teacher, obviously shaken by this statement, hurriedly set the other
children to work on some exercises and took little Alice aside to ask
her,
"Is that really true about your father?"
"No," said Alice, "he works for the Bush Campaign, but I was too
embarrassed to say that in front of the other kids.

Little Alice was in the first day of her 5th grade class when the
teacher asked the children what their fathers did for a living. All
the typical answers came up -- fireman, policeman, salesman, doctor,
lawyer. Alice was being uncharacteristically quiet, so the teacher
asked her about her father.
"My father's an exotic dancer in a gay cabaret and takes off all his
clothes in front of other men and they put money in his underwear.
Sometimes, if an offer's really good, he'll go home with some guy and
spend the night for money."
The teacher, obviously shaken by this statement, hurriedly set the other
children to work on some exercises and took little Alice aside to ask
her,
"Is that really true about your father?"
"No," said Alice, "he works for the Bush Campaign, but I was too
embarrassed to say that in front of the other kids.

So it's a date then? Let me know. I'll reserve my ticket this weekend.

I'll probably be offline Monday thru Wed. afternoon, I'm driving a van to 
Vegas to Get Out The Vote!
Very exciting, have 5 people driving with me so far. Early voting has the 
Demos leading by 3,500 votes!! Hope reigns eternal.

Dear Jonathon,

Thank you so much for posting that great Martha Swope photo. I have never 
seen it in color before. As to when it was taken I would say 1970....

If memory serves Vickie Medlin always spelled her name with an "ie" at the

Hi Sherwin,

You don't have to create the possibility of getting these photos in the 
archives, because they are already here. Robert Camuto, who worked with 
Sally Eaton, and did a lot of the staging for that tour works very closely 
with the Archives, so we have a copy of the program those photos come from 
here already, as well as a video tape of a performance (10/14/90, Palace 
Theatre, New Haven, CT). Your Berger was outstanding!

If you mean, can I put photos from that tour online at the web site, the 
answer is yes, however it sometimes takes a while for things to progress 
from the middle of the To-Do pile to the top. Bear with me, please. :-)

Love,
Nina

Happy All Hallow's Eve HAiR!!!

Here's how my weekend's panning out!!!


Yesterday I went to an antique store down in Marysville, and as I was 
browsing, I heard someone yell out, "Hey Poccahontas.."     I of course froze in my 
tracks...    I hate that!!!    Then some woman with crappy makeup   and big 
hair came over and started talking to me.. I then realised she thought I was 
dressed up for Halloween!! LOL!   I was wearing chamois pants and a soft buckskin 
poncho of the same colour.. In my long flowing hair I had a braid-tie made 
from a stamped metal disc, leather thong strips, blonde/white horse hair made 
into   2 stubby tassles and wrapped with brightly coloured thread, and a small 
pheasant feather... I had on my everyday mocassins... and a pendalton shoulder 
strap purse.. LOL! 

She was wearing a non descript long velvet coat dress ( there I just 
described it!!)<smile> Then I realised her bad make up was supposed to be Vampire 
makeup..  I just thought she was naturally ugly..   I calmly explained that I was 
not wearing a costume, I was clad in my "everyday" uniform...   I remember in 
Chicago one year people on the street kept stopping me to say. "I LOVE YOUR 
COSTUME..."   I was wearing a fringed lacota lamb skirt and top. and my wool 
cape open in the front..    I couldn't figure out what the hell they were taling 
about until I realised it was Halloween!!LOL!   I was on my way to the 
Newberry Library to do some volunteer work in the McNickle Library for Native 
American Studies...

Every day is Halloween in my closet!!!!!!

I should have given her this link!
